The ripping brook where the kingcup

Within sight of the nodding rush.
The falling leaf, with its gentle sigh,
Or the smithy's echoing ring;
The rocks loud cav and the shepherds
cry
Dead memories back to us bring.

Pale memories quicken and blossom

The sound OF the wind or the song Of a
Brings memories heavy with gladness or

The tender light at fall OF day,
Or the shape of a tieeting cloud;
The snowy shown of rich bloom in May,
Or the ferryman's laughter loud;
The stately bow of the whisp'r ring trees,
AS they list while the wavelets sing;
The droning hum of the restless bees
Dead memories back to US bring.

The Chicago Record Herald pub
fishes the following dispatch from Der,
lin:
THE discovery that pure oxygen Is
an antidote for many poisons is the
startling result of experiments now in
progress in the Berlin Institute of PLY.
steal Diagnosis, under the direction Of
DR.. Rogevn, a Russian medical scien-
fist, in conjunction with DR.. William
Cowl of New York. Numerous expert
ments in cases of morphine, stryrh-
nine and arsenic poisoning were mai"
with cats, rats, mice and guinea pigs.
In each case where oxygen was given,
an unqualified cure was effected.
THE experiments were conducted
in the utmost privacy, with the inten-
ton of making their result known for
the first time at the German medical
congress in 1902.
THE health authorities of Berlin are
keenly interested in the experiments
on account of the possibility of saving
the lives of suicides by this means.
1t is pointed out that 80 percent of sui
cides by poison are the result of NOR
phine dyspnoea, against which med!
cal antidotes are powerless.

Preparations For Winter.

The poultry house should be gone
over before winter begins, and all
cracks or crevices covered. If these
cracks are left uncovered there will be
drafts through the house, and consc-
Quently disease, especially roup, will
follow. The house should he thorough
ly whitewashed and disir fectcd before
the winter season.
If there is any time when the clean.
ing Of the poultry house is neglected
it is in winter. This is the season of
the year when it should be more strict
ly attended to, because as the fowls
are more crowded in winter, and as
they are confined to the house alone,
they are therefore more liable to dis
ease than in summer. The litter,
which should cover the floor should
be cleaned out as often as necessary.
The roosts should also be cleaned as
often as necessary and lime sprinkled
over the dropping boards. If you have
a barrel or box of dust, put about an
inch of dust on the floor also, as it is
then more easily cleaned. Paint the
rOostS with Kerosene or some louise de.
strOyer The straw, or whatever is
put in the nest boxes, should be taken
cut and burned often. II straw is
used it should be sprinkled with kero-
sene. The best thing to put in the nest
boxes is pine shavings, as the lice will
not stay in them.
Glover should be cut and hung up
in lunches in some out-of the-way
place. to be scalded for the fowls in
winter. Millet cut and saved and then
given to them in winter will keep
them busy scratching it out In re-
gard to the general food each poultry.

NEED OF STORAGE RESERVOIRS.
Both the Flood Surplus and Regular Sup
ply of Streams Needed.

Both the Flood Surplus and Regular Sup
ply of Streams Needed.
A recent bulletin Of the Division of
photography, United States Geolog
ical Survey, remarks that the storage
OF most Of the spring waters which
would otherwise go to waste has come
to be one Of the necessities of the
Western States. In past years water
was considered important largely in
connection with the limited amount
of land then under irrigation, but so
rapidly have the demands of irrigation
advanced and so greatly is water
needed, not only for this, but for other
new purposes as well, such as cheap
power to generate electricity and for
town and city supply, that it has now
become a question of saving all the
water of the streams, that of the
frcshet season in the spring as much
rs possible, as well as the summers
flow, TO meet the increasing demands.
This must be done by the construc-
ton of large storage reservoirs, and
already great activity is being shown
in the Western States, and especially
in California, in making preliminary
surveys for these necessary and im-
portant undertakings.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has recently published, in its i'll
teresting series of water supply and
irrigation papers. the results of one
of these Investigations looking to the
storage of water in the valley of Cache
Creek, one of the important agrcul-
tural and fruit raising districts near
Sacramento noted for it's fertility and
productiveness. The basin Of this
stream is also of considerable addi-
tional Importance, as 1T contains at
the head waters of Cachea Greek the
beautiful body Of water known as
Clear Lake, situated in the heart of
the Coast Range, at an elevation Of
over 1900 feet above sea level. The
purity Of its waters and its rclati''e
nearness to San Francisco make its
storage possibilities as probable sup
ply for that city Of considerable value.

4 Plan For Catching Some of the Hen
which Goes Up Chimney.

4 Plan For Catching Some of the Heat
which Goes Up u Chimney.
A number of methods have been pro-
posed for saving the heat which is
now wasted in generating power with
steam. One of the most recent and
most promising is to run separate
engine with the heat of the exhaust
steam. In this auxiliary engine 4
chemical compound known as sulphur
dioxide is employed in place of water
vapor. This CASTLES at low temporal
ture and develops great expansive
power.
Another plan is proposed by Jabez
Staunton, Of Greenville, Greene Coun-
ty, N. Y. He would drop sand down
a chimney and let it absorb the heat
of the rising fumes. Then he would
find way to carry the sand to the
boiler, where it would irlpart its heat,
he thinks, to the water. Thereafter
the same sand could be dropped down
the chimney again. Mr.. Staunton
does not describe any experiments
made by himself, nor supply drawings
of the apparatus required to manipu-
late the sand. Neither has the exact
method of applying the latter to the
boiler been worked out, apparently.
In fact, he would like to find some
one else who is willing and able to
work out the details" All that he
pretends to do is to supply the basic
principle" Capital to develop the in
ventiOn Is also desired.
Possibly Mr.. Stanton undertakes
the difficulty of reducing his idea to
practice, and he may be too confident
concerning the economy to be effected
by the means here described. And
there can be no doubt that if the
scheme We're successful it would work

HIS AVORITE POLICY
THE BUFFALO SPEECH NOT A NEW
DEPARTURE.
.Viliipm Mckinley Had Been an Earnest
ana Persistent Advocate of the Right
Sort of Reciprocity for the Past
Eleven Years.

Mr.. NIX nlsy's speech at Buffalo
had barely ceased when some papers
began to misrepresent it, the purpose
being to make it appear that the Pres
ident had changed his views and was
no longer in line with the economic
faith of his party, but was urging to-
ward the opposite belief. Here Is an
example:
The name of President Mckinley
was given to the highest tariff this
country has ever known, the tariff that
was repealed by the Democratic con-
gress of 1884, Mckinley being the
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee that reported the bill. That
was the high water mark of tariff leg
islation. There was no thought OF
reciprocity then except such arrange
ments as might be made with the
South American states. This was Mr.
Blaine's idea, and it was not favored
by the party and formed no part of its
policy.
president Mckinley in his speech
fully committed himself to reciprocity,
which means tariff reduction and free
trade in special cases. We are to
grant trade advantages in considera-
ton of reciprocal advantages The
scheme is not new since all nations
practice it, and since, a,so, we have
already negotiated several such treat
les. The president would, however,
make It the general policy of our gov
ernment.
''If such policy is inaugurated and
carried out there will be material tar
if reductions. A reciprocity treaty
with Germany. after that nation shall
have stiffened its tariff laws in accord
ance with the rates proposed. will
