When vour voice no more is wheezy
When you left it to complain,
Then it's time TO take il easy
Take it easy once again.

We know the carly riser is the like

But when its softly breezy.
and you feel the gentle rain,
It's Tine TO take 1t easy
Take 1t easy once again.
We have heard those good old maxims

But proverb ought TO get short

Such advice is hard and freely,
It appeals to us in vain,
When it's time to take it easy
Take it easy once again.

The Victors Vanauished.

Nor does our hindsight much avail
us, says VIM. Carrot Brown IN the
Atlantic. The end attained by the
Ku-Klux Khan was mainly good. But
the method of 1t survives in too many
habits of the southern mind, in too
many shortcomings of southern
civilization, in too many limitations
characteristics of southern life. The
southern whites, soidified in resis-
lance to carpet-bag rule, have kept
tLeir solidarity unimpaired by any
healthful division on public questions.
Having learned lesson, they cahnot
forget it. They saw forms of law
used to cloak oppression, and liberic
invoked to countenance tyranny.
They learned to set men above politi-
cal principles, and good government
years they have set one question
above all others, and thus debarr, ID
themselves from full participation in
the political life Of the country, until
now the question has ceased to be
practical the danger is no longer real.
They still rule by fear, but il is their
own fears to which their political
leader appeals. 1t is they themselves
who are now befooled and robbed cs
the nobler part of their own political
querors, yet they are not free.

Couldn't Wear shoes.

Sumpter, Ill.,, June l0.-Mrs. j. u.
Flanagan OF this place had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes. She had doctored all the
time. but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged. called for some
medicine at Mr.. ]. j. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodds Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife
used five out of the six, before she was
entirely cured. She is now as sound
and well as ever she was. completely
restored to health, and free from any
symptom whatever of Dropsy.
Tie say that Mrs. Flanagan Is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings. and she and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their praises
Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and OF Mr..
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such severe
case of Dropsy. after the doctors had
given her up. has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known in White
County.

CHINESE BLOCKS.
An Oriental kindergarten Game Il
Interest.

Zone bright spring afternoon a Chi
nese official and his little boy called at
our home, on Filial Piety Lane, in Pek-
ing. Father and son were dressed ex-
actly alike-boots. of black velvet,
trousers of blue silk, over which hung
long garment also Of blue silk,
waistcoat Of blue brocade, and ckull
cap of black satin. In every respect,
even to the dignity Of his bearing, the
child was vest-pocket edition of his
father.
"The boy carried tao of books,
which l recognized as The Fifteen
Magic Blocks. Now, tao is two or
single cover. The one that the boy
had contained two volumes. On the
inside of the cover was a depression
three inches square, snugly fitted with
the fifteen blocks. These blocks are
made variously of lead, wood, or paste
board
"All the blocks are in pairs, except
one, which is a rhomboid; and all are
exactly proportional, the sides being
either half an inch, an inch and half,
or two inches in length.
THE blocks of Chinese children are
not used as in our kindergartens, SIM
ply to familiarize the child with geo
metric figures. The more specific
purpose of the fifteen magical blocks
is to picture scenes Of history and
myth that will'have moral and intel
lectual effect on the budding brain.
OF course, Chinese children build
houses, bridges and wagons just as
ours do, but primarily their blocks are
intended for education.
''The first picture my child visitor
built for me that afternoon was
dragon horse. l asked him to tell me
about it. TIE little fellow explained
that this was the dragon-horse Of Flu
Hsi. Flu Hsi was the original ances-
tor Of the Chinese people, and he saw
this animal emerge from the depths Of
the Meng river. On the back of the
dragon-horse Flu Hsi described a map
containing ffty-five spots. These
fifty-fiye spots represented the male
and female principles Of nature, and
out of them the ancient sage used 20
construct what are known as the
Eight Diagrams.-Isaac T. Headland

QUEER USES OF INDIGO.
i.s Relation to Lyddite Shells Which
Turn Things yellow.

Naturally, the next thing to consld-
q, should be indigo, because speaking
NJ water and clean makes you think

rnose defenders of their institutions

duty for the faces and hands Of pap
srd mother and the eleven children;
and then. too, the British fired shells
nj lvddite at them, and the fumes Of
tho explosion turned them a gaudy yell
low in complexion. Now, lyddite IS
indigo on which nitric acid has been
incurred. 1t is not only thing to be
melted and loaded into shells and set
off with primer Of guncotton, but it
is a brilliant yellow dye. When the
explosive is made in England it IS
called lyddite; when it is made in
France it is called melinite, but it will
answer to either name if it is touched
OF in the right way.
This may seem a queer use of indi-
co. but it is still queerer that all the
bright colors that we call the aniline
dyes. and which we know are derived
from the coal tar products, are so
named from indigo's other name,
