NATURE SELF-CONSCIOUS.

Helvetia Loquitur:
Giant of ED am I.
The rock ribbed earth is my body;
The mountains that rise on high,
These are my hands, my fingers;
The snow is my hair, and the clouds
Gather around at my breathing;
[ whisper in wandering winds,
But the avalanche crash is my calling;
When 1 raise myself anon,
And shake my limbs in the sunlight,
The sweat flows forth in rivers.
Sons and daughters of man
Roam at will upon me.
Climb to my utmost hand-tips,
Hide in the hair on my shoulders,
Glide in the blue of my eyes,
In coracles made of the corn husks;
But heed not their coming and going.
Mystery am I to myself,
Knowing not why. whence, whittier,
Knowing not purpose or end,
OF the things that were or shall be;
Only family surmisng
That I was by another fashioned,
A being vaster than l.
Stronger in thew and Sinew,
Mightier in body and arm-girth.
Giant of cid, thy child,
I greet thee unknown, great Maker.
But a wonder stranger is mine.
From age to age enduring,
AS lie in the nights deep silence,
When the light giver rests in his chamber,
And gaze in the armament DER me,
Far from my utmost arms reach,
Far: from the sound of my calling,
And watch in the solemn distance
OF infinite space overshadowing
Those pale fires burning yOnder,
Never. farther or nearer.
Never brighter or DINNER,
Burning forever and ever.
This is the wonder unceasing,
This is the Light that appalls me.

Ster Gazette.

you should not attempt any flights

BLIND TOMS MEMORY.
Remarkable Faculties Displayed BY
the Famous COlOred
Pianist.

Atlantic City continues to wonder
over Blind Toms wonderful mem
DRY. The fame of it has gone abroad
in the land, SO that not only at some
of his concerts, where an opportunity
has been given, but in the informal
crowds that occasionally gather
around his chair there is a manifest
tendency to test it pers onally.
Naturally the only subject on which
the casual stranger can verify the ac-
curacy of Toms memory is that
of previous performances. So the
questions that are asked are all on
that subject, and Toms memory is
apparently infallible. He has never
yet failed to tell upon what date he
played at given town; or, if he had
played there several times, he knew
it; and he knew when. After a con-
cert career extending over nearly 40
years, one which has carried him over
all the continent, such a memory
seems almost superhuman.
When one considers further that
this is an absolutely uneducated man,
with an absolutely unframed mem
Dry without any great natural in
telligence, except in his unexplain-
able musical instinct, and that one
cannot call it heredity rising SUI
perior to circumstances, but one cir
cumstance rising superior to hered-
ity, it becomes still more remark
able.
After one of his recent concerts,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, Tom
sat for some time as a target for
questions. They came from all over
the house and Tom answered them
without hesitation, except for GER
tain hesitancy which evidently be-
longs to his speech rather than to
his memory. He speaks two or three
words and a pause, two or three
more and another pause-rather au-
tomatically, and never is known to
fail to tack a civil ''Sir" on to every
one of his replies.
A man from Richmond, Va, asked
Tom when he had given concert
there. And Tom answered readily
enough: 'In 1865, SIR But in his
next question the man made the mis-
take of saying: Snow, Tom, I'm go
ing to fool you! Where did you play"
explaining to neighbors that he
proba bly, thought he played at a
theater, whereas he had played in a
church. But Tom was silent as the
grave until his manager said:
atom, you know where you played
at Richmond; tell the gentleman"
And Tom promptly answered: 81
played in the African M. E. church y
''He did, indeed" said the ques-
toner, "and we were the only two
white people there, believe"
One of Toms most exciting recent
experiences was his first encounter
in the North American reading room
with graphophone and a large mu-
steal box known as a regina" The
latter particularly reduced him al
most to a delirium of ecstasy. He
had his chair rolled up close to it, and
insisted upon hearing it's entire roper
toire, and astonished his manager and
his audience by giving some selec'
tions from that repertoire in his next
concert Blind Tom rafting off the
latest popular marches, Blind Tom
playing "Florodora" was a novelty.

Board of Public MImps."

"The abbreviation fend is nuisance
and ought to be suppressed by law" said
a man in the Office of the board of public

lie Imps'"
Maybe that was neither a joke nor the
result of carelessness," returned one of his
associates. Perhaps the man meant it.,

The Solution.

Here's a state of things! Mrs. Greene
calls upon Mrs. Gray, and before they
have chance to say anything, in comes
Mrs. Brown. The problem is as to the
separation of the ladies. Ii Mrs.
Greene goes, she will leave Mrs. Brown
and Mrs. Gray together to talk about
her. If Mrs. Brown goes, she will be
the subject of Mrs. Gray's and Mrs.
Green's conversation. If her two
visitors go away together, then Mrs.
Gray will be the subject of converse
ton between those ladies. There is
only one solution: Mrs. Gray puts on
her things and goes out with her visit
ors, just for walk.-Boston Tran

CAUSE OF FALLING HAIR.
Dandruf, Which Is a Germ Disease
Kill the Germ

Falling hair is caused by dandruff, which
is germ disease. The germ, in burrowing
in to the root of the hair, where it destroys
the vitality of the hair, causing the hair to
fall out, digs up the cuticle in little scales,
called dandruff or scurf You can't stop the
falling hair without curing the dandruff,
and you can't cure the dandruff without
killing the dandruff germ. Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect" Newbro's
Herpicide is the only hair preparation that
kills the dandruff germ. Herpicide is also
delightful hair dressing.
