THE SPELLS OF HOME.

By the soft green light in the woody glade,
On the banks of moss where thy childhood p'ayed,
By the household tree through which thine eye
First looked in love to the summer sky,
BY the dewy gleam, by the very breath
OF the primrose-tufts in the grass beneath.
Upon thy heart there is lid spell.
Holy and precious oh, guard 1t well.
By the sleepy ripple Of the stream,
Which hath ulIed thee into many a dream,
By the shiver of the ivy leaves
To the wind of morn at thy easement caves,
By the bees deep murmur in the lines,
By the mus of the Sabbath chimes,
By every sound of thy native shade.
Stronger aid dearer the spell is made.
By the gathering round the winter hearth,
When twilight called unto household mirth,
BY the fairy tale or the legend Old
In that ring of happy faces tod,
By the quiet hour when hearts unite
In the parting prayer and the kind 'Good-nisht!''
By the smiling eye, and the loving tone,
Over thy life has the spell been thrown
And bless that gift!-it hath gentle might,
guard an power and guiding light.
1t hath led the freeman forth to stand
In the mountain battles of his land;
II hath brought the wanderer DER the seas
To die on the hills of his own fresh breeze
And back to the gates of his fathers hall
1t hath led the weeping prodigal
Yes when thy heart, in its pride, would stray
From the pure frst-love of its youth away
When the sullying breath of the world would come
Der the flowers it brought from its childhood s
home
Think thou again of the woody glade,
And the sound by the rustling ivy made
Think of the tree at thy fathers door,
AID the kindly spell shall have power once more!

THE STREAM A MYTH.

Leaf by leaf the roses fall, and one
by one the beautiful and interesting le-
gends and beliefs of early times give
way before the researches of modern
investigation A large portion Of all
the learning the student acquires at
school and college becomes obsolete as
he advances in years, and if he does
not struggle to keep up with the pro-
grcss Of iconoclasm he is apt to find
himself at the age of 40 in the position
described by Josh Bil!ings-"of man
celebrated beyond his neighbors for
knowing things that hot So"
Children in the public schools are
now aware that the relcbr;.t d enc, TN
ter between Barbara Frietchie and
Stoncwall jackson never no such per-
sonagc as Barbara ever existed, and a
decade from now it may be that even
Stonewall Jackson's name will be ex-
plunged from the history of a lost
cause. Since the stories of William
Tell and George Washington and his
little hatchet have been pronounced III
ventions, and science has discarded the
theory of coloric and describes heat as
"modc of notion one does not know
longer what to believe.
1t is hard to give up the belief that
the climate of the British Isles is great
ly modified by the beneficent intlu-
ences of the Gu'f Stream. Geogra-
phics taught it and mariners clung to
the idea, but in recent issue of the
Monthly Weather Review" the Off
cial publication of the United States
Weather Bureau, there exists an ar
ticle which boldly asserts that the
Gulf Stream only exists In the imag-
ination. The writer says:
"By itself alone the Gulf Stream has
as much effect on the climate of north.
western Europe as the fly in the fable
had in carrying the stagecoach up the
hill. The mild climate of northwest
ern Europe is due, not to the Gulf
Stream, but to the prevailing eastward
and northwestward drift Of the circum-
polar atmospheric circulation, whose
aerial currents, and not the Gulf
Stream, distribute the heat conserved
by the whole Atlantic Ocean north of
latitude 80 degrees (roughly) over
Europe. The entire surface of the
Atlantic Ocean north of the trade
winds, or rather, north and west of the
centre of the great north Atlantic an
ticyclone, is drifted to the northeast by
the prevailing aerial drift. which drift,
and not the ocean currents, carries the
beneticent influences of the ocean over
the European islands and the shores to
the east and northeast"
1t is we'll to be posted, though it is
sad to lose the faiths of childhood.
There are people who find that it in
wolves as great wrench to the imag-
ination ut 40 to abandon belief to the
Gulf Stream as it did at to accept
the statement that there is no help for
them if all the beautiful illusions Of
youth must perish and only the naked
truths of science reign in their stead.

The other inscriptions on the cathe-
dra are also of interest. Mr.. Stanley
Austin, the donor of these historic
stones, desired that the bishops throne
or chair should bear the inscription
"From the Churchmen of Glaston-
bury to the Churchmcn Of America,'
and this has been engaved on the right
hand side of the chair The Bishop of
Bristol Or. Brownc), who preached at
the Glastonbury service Of the Lam
beth Conference and is one of the
greatest living authorities on British
ecclesiastical archaeology, suggested
that the bishops chair should be called
''The British CATHEDRAL or"Thc Glast-
onbury Throne episcopal chair
in every cathedral in the English
Church being known as the bishops
throne. Wisely we think, both ideas
were adopted in the combination of
the Glastonbury Cathedra.
The inscription on the right side
panel of the cathedra reads as follows:
These Stones from the Ancient British
Abbey
of SIS. Peter and Paul
are given
by the Churchmen of Glastonbury
to the Churchmen of America

"GOOD OLD DAYS."
Regard for Tradition Undeserved.-..The
World Improves.


People are often heard to sigh for the
good old days of the one-ring circus,
but such thing is impossible nova
days with so enormous concern as the
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
Goth Century COLOSSUS. Their great
tented amphitheatre is so large, in or
der to accommodate the thousands
that attend at every performance, that
if the performances were given in one
ring it would be beyond the view of a
large part of the audience, so that in
order all may be entertained three
rings and two stages are employed,
and in all of them all sorts of acts are
performed by the very best specialists
in their respective lines of work, so il
is that every person, no matter where
seated, is at all times within easy
seeing distance of some circus specially
of high degree. Some of the features
of the show are so great, however, thai
they cannot be duplicated, and they
are presented by themselves. These
usually, however, have to be performed
high in the air or on the hippodromt
track, where they move all the way
around so they can be seen in ever!
part of the vast arena. There is NJ
| danger that there will not be enough
for anyone to see, no matter wher,

St. Peter, Mimi, Sept. Ex-senator
G. L. Benedict's trial on the charge
of shooting snipe out of season began
before Justice Miller this morni ng.
County Attorney G. r. Davis is ap-
pearing for the state, and Executive
Agent Fullerton of the state game and
fish commission, of st. Paul, is attend
ing the trial. Mr.. Benedict is con-
Quoting his own side of the case and
has several witnesses.
Mr.. Benedict pleaded not guilty to
the charge and demanded jury trial
A jury was empaneled and the taking
of evidence commenced
Up to four o'clock this afternoon,
three witnesses have been examined
on the part of the state, and it is evi
dent that the trial will not be com,
pleted today.
The most important testimony was
given by school teacher, who testi
fed that he saw Senator Benedict shoe
the snipe. On cross examination, ht
stated that he saw Mr.. Benedict place
the snipe on the ground where they
were found. This was on Aug. 31st
the day before the open season began
1t is understood that Mr.. Benedic
will deny having shot the snipe, ant
will produce witnesses that will prov,
his innocence of the charge beyond 1
reasonable doubt.
The case is attracting much atten
ton.

WHAT HE SAW.
Chief Beach Returns From Fire.
mems Meeting.
Some Improved Apparatus That Would
be of Use TO he Mankato Fire
Department.

Chief A. D. Beach of the fire de-
partment has returned from his trip
to Indianapolis, where ne attended the
national fremen's convention. He
also stopped over in Chicago, and
visited at Toledo, Ohio, and in Michi-
gan.
Mr.. Beach saw several Improvements
in fire apparatus that Mankato ought
to have when the city can afford to
purchase it, but he will make no re-
concentrations at present.
A new hook and ladder truck is be-
ing manufactured that is lighter and
better than those now in the city's
possession. Three men can easily raise
fifty feet of ladders.
Browder's life saving net is a recent
invention that can be secured for 500.
Six men held one while lady jumped
into it from a fourth story window,
and there was very little strain on
those who held the net, while the lady
was not in the least Jared.
Mr.. Beach saw the Pompier service,
such as has already been ordered for
the Mankato fire department. Lad
ders go from story to story, catching
over the window stills, and life line
is run up, down which people can
slide or the irman can himself go
and carry person.
Mr.. Beach found that chemical en-
gines are going out of date and cities
are trying to get rid of them. A COM
bination hose wagon aud 35-gallon
tank is now made that is ingreat favor.
No improvements in hose or coupl-
ings were seen, but a relief valve to
take the strain from the hose when
the water is shut off is now made and
the list price is $65. 1t is attached to
the hose at the nydrant.
Mr. Beach will endeavor to have the
council amend the fire limits ordinance
so that people can reshingle their
buildings within the fire limits. He
considers new shingles safer than old.

Novelty in bicycle Racing.

From Scotland is reported novelty
in cycle racing which is to be brought
to America this season. This is what
is known as the humping handicap, a
race combining the best features of
the handicap race of to-day and of the
Australian pursuit race. In the bump
ing handicap one man is placed on each
mark, and not more than one. The
riders endeavor to catch the men in
front of them and pass them, for every
man passed is forced by the rules sto
drop out of the contest as soon as
passed. This makes race exciting, a S
the handicaps are given on merit, as
is therule to-day, and the race finishes
only at the tape and in the order as at
present, unless a field should be re-
dl1ced in heat to q number to qualify.
when the heat is ended. In the final,
the men bump each other out until
the field is down to the number to win
prizes, when the race goes to the
finish.

KEEp THE CHAIN CLEAN.
Nothing Adds More to the Comfort of
Bicycling Than a Ven-LubFi-
Gated and Flexible Chain.

'Few riders" says one who has
been through the mill, realize the
Importance to the bicycle of WE'LL
fabricated and flexible chain. If one
half the care which is bestowed on
the bearings of the bicycle were de-
voted to the chain, there would be
fewer tired muscles after bicycling
exercises. One will find owners of
wheels taking them apart, cleaning
the cones and polishing the ball bear
ings, even going so far as to dissect
the pedals for a little dust, and yet
pay little or no attention to the
chain, while the chain is more impor-
tant than all the other bearings COM
bined. Every one of the numerous
links in this chain has a bearing. and
every one of these bearings is likely
to get stiff with dust and wear. AS
soon as metal gets to wearing against
metal or little grit is introduced
into the joints, the chain will begin
to run stiff and hard. 1t will snap
and jerk and the wheel will be tire
some to propel. This can be avoided
only by careful cleaning and lubrica-
ton. The exertion used in cleaning is
returned sevenfold in garnered
strength of the rider. The chain
should be taken from the wheel and
coal oil poured over the joints and on
the sprockets. Then a careful wip-
ing with cloth will remove nearly
all the dust. The joints should be
worked by whipping on the floor I'M
til they are perfectly flexible. 1t is a
good plan to keep an open can of lu-
bricating oil into which the chain
may be plunged and allowed to re-
main for some time-say over night,
if convenient. When it is taken out
the oil should be removed with a
cloth, wiping as clean as possible to
prevent the adherence of dust. After
the sprockets are scrupulously clean,
put IN a small amount of stiff lubri-
cant and you will be surprised at the
difference in the running of the
Wheel
