YOU'RE IT.

If you're sore
To the core,
With aching bones,
And husky tones
VIXEN you speak.
And you're weak
In the knees.
And YOU sneeze,
And often cough
Your head near off,
And you note
That your throat
Feels quite raw,
And your jaw
Feels as if
You'd got biff,
And dull pains
Vex your brains,
Then you've caught it,
You have got it
It's the grip.
If you feel
The heat steals
Q 'er your frame
Like flame,
Til you burn
And you yearn
For chunks OF ice
At any price.
Then like flash
From head to feet,
A chill complete,
And you shake.
And you quake.
And there's desire
For fire,
And something hot
Right on the spot
To quictlv drink,
And you think
Right there and then
You'll never he warm again.
Then you've caught it,
y on have got it
It's the grip.
It's in the air,
Ir's everywhere;
The m troNe of the grip
Is on another trip,
Nnd up and down,
Through all the town,
Bv night and day
1t seeks is p,ev.
And its the fad
lf YOU are sad,
Or even rad.
Or il you >ne,zc.
Or cough and wheeze.
Or feel TOO warm,
Or chills alarm.
Je wear look Of grim dismav
And hoarselv say:

A Strange Custom.

According to a Yorkshire eng
land) notion a newborn infant
should always be placed in the arms
of a maiden before it is touched by
any one else, and in some instances
its right hand is bound in a cloth
during the first day of its existence
IN order that it may gather riches
when grown to manhood or woman
hood estate. In many parts of the
United States, Germany, France
and Holland, as well as throughout
the British isles, it is considered
very important that an infant
should ego up" before it goes down
in the world. Thus, if a child is
born in the lower story of house,
it is instantly bundled up by one of
the old women and carried up
stairs; if the event occurs in the
upper story, the same old woman is
expected to take the child in her
arms and Chamber upon the top of
a table, bureau or even a chair
anything to get the little one up in
the world.

Women Live Longer Than Men.

In the tropics it is a recognized
fact that the duration of life among
women is much longer than among
men, and the causes which con-
tribute to this end seem to hold
good for all climates, A well known
medical expert on the subject Of
colonial life maintains that expo
sure to fatigue, chills, irregular
meals and the frequent taking Of
alcohol account for men dying
quicker in the tropics than women,
who avoid all these causes. And un-
questionably the same reasons have
contributed to female longevity in
this country, but the balance Of life
will be more evenly adjusted in an
other generation or two, since wom-
en- are more and more entering into

Eiuhtinu Owls.

Owls have habit of dealing with
game they have killed that leads
some observers to think that, like
dogs, they prefer fowls that have
not been too recently slain. One
of the birds will often leave a
chicken or rabbit for a day or two
before eating it. An old trapper
says he has often had muskrat traps
robbed by owls. only part of the
rat being eaten.
When he finds trap so. disturbed,
the trapper leaves the rat where it
lies and sets another trap beside it.
In all probability the bird will re-
turn the second night, in which case
it will be more than likely to be in
the trap when the owner comes next
morning. An owl in trap will of
fer to fight, and, if it gets chance,
will peck at its captor or his dog un-
mercifully.
A farmer who caught one of the
birds by setting trap alongside of
a chicken that had been killed in
iudiciously reached ont to catch it
by the feet. The freefoot executed
q movement that was entirely be-
yond the farmers comprehension,
and the next minute the latter
found his wrist gripped in a set of
claws to which the trof was as moth
ing. He was obliged to kill the
bird, and then found that the claws
had penetrated to the bone.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE
How to Arrange Cut Flowers to Sc.
cure PLEASING Effects,

In order to secure the best and
most pleasing effects in the arrange
ment of cut flowers it is necessary
that their manner of growth be con-
sidered. Flowers that grow on tall
stalks should be put in high vases,
which permit the long green stems
to rise in a natural fashion, with
some of the pretty leaves appearing
gracefully among them. Tiny flow
ers should be placed in small re-
ceptacles corresponding to their
size. The aim should be to give,
as far as possible, natural appear
ance to each kind of flower.
When gathering field daisies, also
gather some of the seed grasses that
grow among them, then place all
loosely in a suitable vase, remember
ing that they do not grow with their
heads close together. This arrange
ment, with the help of stretch of
the Imagination, will remind one Of
small field of daisies with the
grasses waving and nodding in the
wind.
Roses should not be crowded into
vase, but tumbled loosely into a
bowl, and little study will enable
one to add the necessary touches
that help to give to these beautiful
cut flowers their natural grace and
beauty.
Pansies should be cut with stems
and leaves and massed in a low,
Haring vase, where they have a
chance to appear as if still growing.

A Story of Lincoln.

General John II. Littlefeld, who
studied under Abraham Lincoln,
told this anecdote of him in Sue

old Abe as their lawyer, they

if it was not, that it was a waste of
time to take it to him. After lis
tening some time one day to

his eyes on the ceiling, he swung
around in his chair and exclaimed: :
well, you have a pretty good case
in technical law, but pretty bad
one in equity and justice. You'll
have to get some other fellow to
win this case for you. l couldn't
do it. All the time while talking
to that jury I'd be thinking, "Lin-
coin, you're liar" and l believe l
should forget myself and say it out

An Invisible Alter Foo.

1t is curious and interesting to
note that the British Columbian
tribe of the Shanakons have soul
belief which is an almost exact
counterpart of that cherished by the
old Israelites. They believe that
every being has its double or
shadow, thin, pale figure, seldom or
never seen by mortal eyes, which
after death descends to an abode
beneath the earth and there leads
a sad and gloomy existence. The
Israelites called this place sheol ;
the Shanakons know it as eotea.

He FORGOT 1T.
Condition Upon Which Field Agreed
to Acquire Bad Memory.

"The late Eugene Field was noto-
riously improyident, his chronic
'hardupness' being a sort of byword
among his intimates," said an old
friend of the poet recently. "But
he managed to get a good deal of
fun himself out of the paucity of his
own resources.
"Once at one Of those semipublic
functions held in a saloon, where
every man is host who has the
price and every man guest who has
a thirst, Field, as usual, went broke.
There happened to be a hanger on
in the crowd, one of those whose
considerable ambition is to say they
have shaken hands and touched
glasses with a celebrity. Calling
the poet to one side he said: Now
/ hope you'll take no offense, but I
understood you to say you had run
short of money. If that is true,
would be glad to oblige you with a

affecting great indignation. Il don't
even know your name

times, responded the other, Il

use the money. Please forget it.

One method of cleaning carpets
which has been pronounced in every
way satisfactory is to make suds
with good white soap and hot water,
adding enough fuller's earth to Sc
cure the consistency of thin cream.
Then, after providing a number of
clean cloths, a scrubbing brush, a
large sponge and bucket of fresh
water, pour some of the cleaning
mixture into a bowl, dip the brush

the carpet at time, washing it with
the sponge and cold water and dry

all been gone over in this way, let it

A JOACHIM CONCERT.
How It Was Enjoyed by a Sympathetic
Ennjien Lord.

Joachim, the violinist, told with
keenest relish the following joke, of
which, he said. he was the victim.
Whether he or Lord II. was the vic
tim the reader will decide for him
self, according to his possession or
lack of fondness for classical
music:
During his soiourn in London
Joachim formed a close friendship
with Lord r., a gentleman much
sought after by society, but well
known for his antipathy to all
music. Having learned that .Joa-
chin was to give series of concerts
at st. james hall, Lord r. announc-
ed to him that he would go to hear
him play.
The musician thanked him for
this mark of sympathy and added
that he would be charmed to know
the impressions of the noble lord
afterward.
Two days afterward chance
brought together the two friends at
an evening entertainment. The
virtuoso did not fail to ask Lord r.
what he thought of the works of
Beethoven and if the concert had
not been a little long for him.
"By no means," replied Lord Il.
81 have been much amused. l did
not recognize you at first under your
negro mask, but later laughed the
more on account of it."
A chilly silence prevailed among
the guests until Lord r. explained
his meaning.
1t seems that Lord r. had made
a mistake in the floor. Instead of
mounting to the first floor, where
Joachim was giving his concert, he
had entered at the ground floor,
where some negro minstrels were
giving performance.

WATER IN rHE AlR.
Even at Great isichto There Is Con.
siderable Moisture.

II is seldom realized, save by
aeronauts and mountaineers, how
much watery haze the lower air con-
tains. Blue sky itself is but the
ultimate fading out Of haze, and
when whole lower layers of the at
mosphere are surmounted the blue
above is bluer than before only by
reason of the haze there being more
attenuated. The result of investi-
cations carried out chiefly by high
flying kites goes to show that,
though at great heights the air may
be spoken of as dry, this is but a
relative term. Commonly about
one-half Of the water vapor in the
air is left below by the time the
first mile and half is climbed, but
the actual moisture present varies
with circumstances. Thus up to a
few thousand feet the air is drier
during winter and at night and
damper during summer and by day
than it is near, the ground.
In the light of these facts it be-
comes easy to conceive how in GER
tain conditions of moist weather
and on a dark night the light of a
large town reflected in the heaven
may be seen even at a long distance.
Under the clear skies of other lands
reflection may be seen on the under
surface of a cloud over great ranges.
Thus the cloud heaps over thunder
storms on the American prairies
may sometimes be seen at night on
the horizon at a distance amounting
to some 200 miles.
Again, it will be easy to grasp
the further fact that haze in the air
is more clearly manifested to the
observer who, whether in a balloon
or on a mountain side, has climbed
above its lower moister levels. Here
the explanation is simply that from
his new point of view the haze is
seen against the dark earth while
being itself illuminated by the light
from the sky above.-Gentleman's
Magazine.

Defeated bv Nature,

Nutmegs grow on little trees
which look like small pear trees and
which are generally not over twenty
feet high. The flowers are very
much like the lily of the valley.
They are pale and very fragrant.
The nutmeg is the seed Of the fruit,
and mace is the thin covering over
the seed. The fruit is about the
size of a peach. When ripe, it
breaks open and shows a little nut
inside. The trees grow on the
islands of Asia and tropical Amer
lea. They bear fruit seventy or
eighty years, having ripe fruit on
them all the season. A fine tree in
Jamaica has more than 1000 nut
megs on it every year.
The Dutch used to have all this
nutmeg trade, as they owned the
Banda island and conquered all the
other traders and destroyed all the
trees. To keep the price up they
once burned three piles of nutmegs,
each Of which was said to be Gas big
as a church."
Nature did not sympathize with
such meanness. The nutmeg pi-
geon. found in all the Indian islands.
did for the world what the Dutch
had determined should not be done
carried the seeds, which are their
food, into all the surrounding coun-
tries.

Coal, Damp and Dry.

If a load of coal is left out of
doors, exposed to the weather, say,
for a month, it loses one-third of
its heating quantities. If a ton of
coal is placed on the ground and left
there and another ton is placed
under shed, the latter loses about
20 per cent of its heating force, the
former about Az per cent. Hence
it is great saving of coal to have
it in dry place, covered over on all
sides. The softer the coal the moro
heating power it loses, because the
volatile and valuable constituents
undergo a slow combination.

The Earliest Yacht Raca.

What is said to be the earliest of
recorded yacht races took place on
Oct. 1, 1861. John Evelyn in his
diary of that date mentions that he
sailed with his majesty Charles H.
in one of his pleasure boats or
yachts, "vessels not known among
us until the Dutch East India com
pany presented that curious piece
to the king, being very excellent
sailing vessels. 1t was on a match
between this and his other new
boat" continued Evelyn, "built
frigatelike, and one of the Duke Of
York's, the wager of e100, and the
race from Greenwich to Gravesend
and back, the king lost it going
down, the wind being contrary, but
saved stakes in returning"
The word "yacht" is itself Dutch,
but the vessels which the merry
monarch. sailed were little similar to
the racers of the present day. Men
ton is made of other yachts and
races, but the details are very mea-
ger.
