REVENUE DISTRICTS.
Scheme Proposed for Re-arrangement
of the Districts in Several North

of the Districts in Several North
western States.
Washington, Feb. 12.---Plans are
under consideration in the treasury
department which may result in ~Ae
Encouragement of the internal revenue
districts in several northwestern
states. Members of the Minnesota
delegation recommended that North
and South Dakota be detached from
the Nebraska collection district and
that North Dakota be placed in the
st. Paul district and South Dakota
in the Iowa district. This arrangement
is suggested by business men in the
Dakotas on the ground that st. Paul
and Soiux City are more easily ac-
cessible to them than the Omaha
headquarters for the district of Neb-
raska, which embraces the two Da-
kotas. Senator Kyle opposed the
plan and asks that the Dakotas be
embraced in districts by themselves.

Tactics of Birds in Stormy Weather.

During tremendous wind storms
birds may sometimes be seen flying
overhead at a great altitude. When
this phenomenon is observed 1t may
be taken for granted that the upper
atmosphere is comparatively quiet and
that the disturbance is confined chiefly
to the lower regions.
When a heavy wind or gale springs
ND. says Parsons Weekly, the gulls,
terms and petrels will fly to and fro
over the waters surface, rising and
falling, and uttering their peculiar
cries of warning. If the storm extends
too high up they will drift gradually
with the wind, or fly away on the edge
of the hurricane.
A young herring gull, petrol or
tern thus surprised will beat up
against, the wind with powerful fight.
1t will rise high in the air facing the
gale and making little progress
forward as well as upward. Then II
will descend with rapid fight toward
one side of the storm swept path, but
falling off at the same time in the di.
rection of the blowing wind. Once
more it will sweep around and face
the storm, ascending heavenward and
strikingly desperately out toward the
direction of the storm. By pursuing
these tactics the bird will gradually
work itself to one side of the storm
centre.

Children as Climbers.

e. II. Cooper, in Casselrs Magazine.
in an illustrated article ION the Mat
terhorn," writes: among my most
frequent climbing companions are
children Of ages varying from six to
sixteen. They require attention on
mountain heights-a good deal Of at
tentiOn. The usual nursery method OF
negotiating mountain is to skip up
the first quarter. run up the second,
walk rather soberly up the next quar-
ter and proceed for the rest Of the way
In tears Their boots are hurting
them horribly, their stocking suspen-
ders are broken and the stockings are
coming down; they have got headaches
and at every fresh step buttons are
flying off from all parts Of their cloth
ing. The return journey is mostly
matter of hiring guides with some of
the hand-drawn sledgCs used by hill.
side peasants to carry them down.
But when these little folks have been
trained to walk they are the most
charming companions, and no climb is
so nice as one made in company with
some happy crowd of small Alpinlsts
with miniature alpenstocks, ridiculous
ly small nailed boots and a general
capacity for eating, climbing and
laughing at anything. The guide who
comes with you is also happy, feeling
that at any difficult place he has only
to grasp several small petticoats in
one large hand, and at the worst can
carry the whole party on one arm
without serious difficulty. The aver
age child is so serenely and perfectly
happy climbing ON the hills of Swift
erland in blaze of sun and the most
perfect air of Europe that it seems a
pity children cannot come moro often
to share the holidays of their elders"

Women Drift to Wine.

British women are drifting toward gen.

and figures developed at the recent meet

London.
Not content with this disclosure, DR..
Haywood Smith. the well-known special
list on woman's diseases, asserted that inc

greater rapidity among the rich and we'll
to-do women than among the lower strata
of society.

Smith said: II get my knowledge of the
facts from everyday contact with wom-

called upper classes it is epidemic"
DR.. Smith added that the medical pro-
fession was not altogether blameless. He
accused his fellow-practitioners of need
lcssly prescribing wine and whisky to
many women patients, and he declared
that even babies in arms were not i'm
mune from alcoholic medicine
DR.. Holmes, director of the Church OF
England Temperance Society's police court
mission, said at the meeting that the inc
briates act ought to be amended so as to
give neglected husbands a release from
drunken wives. He claimed that more
homes were wrecked in London through
drunkenness of wives and mothers than
through the excuses of incorporate men.
Statistics that were introduced showed
10,l1G cases where women were convicted
in the London courts OF drunkenness DUR
ing the year 1899, Of which number 4l45
were habitual drunkards.
DR.. Brooks, member of the Fulham
School Board, urges the incorporation of
temperance study in London's public
school curriculum.

AND THE YEARS co BY,

~. IH"S Wv ~"
Lightly sips youth at the wines of its joys,
Laughs at the charms of yesterdays toys;
Life is so long, and nothing alloys
And the years go by.
Little by little the world shows its dross,
Deepens the sense of enjoyment and loss;
Pleasure is wearing off part of its gloss.
And the years go by.
Now there is question and doubt and dis
may!
Well time will alter, and truth will out
stay;
Night Is as needful, perhaps, as the day.
And the years go by.
Work multiplies and pleasures abatc,H,
So much to do, and we are so late,
Duties still focking now knock at the
gate.
And the years go by.
Once-ah, we sigh! but we never can stop;
What is life for but to work till we drop?
only one thought--to rise to the top.
And the years 60 by.
Age is oncoming, and what have we done,
Oh, we had dreamed of such victories
won!
Whose is the fault, and what is undone!
And the years go by.
What DO we hold but handful of dust,
We were so wise in our first ardent trust,
Somehow we missed the real metal for
rust.

were passed back across the stop
