How sad it was when you did leave Us Papa
But with you our JOY has fled,
And 'tis so hard 10 th,lk you Papa
So good, and kind and true is dead.
But heaven now retains our dwelling,
And earth the barren caslSet keeps,
And the sunlight loves to linger
Where our dearest Papa sleeps.
Our home is dark without you Papa
And we miss You everywhere,
We miss your kind and cheerful voice
Thy fond and earnest care.
Papa you are gone but not forgotten;
Never will your memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger
Around the grave where you are laid.
It was so hard to part with you Papa;
How sad it was to see you die,
But we will try and meet you
Some sweet day, by and by.
How sweet it is, dear Papa
To know your trials and troubles are all DER;
And expect TO meet you Papa
On that bright and golden shore.
Your Daughter,
NELLY.

Biliousnes and liver disorders
at this season may be prevented by
cleansing the system with DeWitt's
Little Early Risers. These famous
little pills do not grippe. They
move the bowels gently, but CO.

properties, give tone and strength
to the glands.

THE STUDY OF EARTHQUAKES
ingenious Automatic Devices for re-
cordinS Their Movements.

Ingenious Automatic Devices Ior ne
cording Their Movements.
In paper on earthquakes and vol
canoes in the August Century, James r.
Kemp, professor of geology in Columbia
university, writes as follows Of this pro-
gressive department of science:
EARTHQUAKES come suddenly, and people
observers. They are also unable to de-
termine the direction and intens1ties OF
the motions. Various instruments nave
therefore been invented to accomplish
this. The simpler ones consist or
series of cylinders or blocks in rows at
right angles to each other, which, having
bases of different sizes, will be upset oy
shocks of different intensity, and by the
direction of their fal in bed or so1t
sand give a clue to the motion. Liquids,
especially quicksilver, in basins with
holes at various heights, will wash up
and down in particular directions, will
spill through particular holes, and thus
give indications. Pendulums may be set
swinging in different planes, and so on;
one may readily comprehend the scope of
these devices.
In more serious attempts the great OBJ
iects are to obtain, first, records of mo-
tion in three planes at right angles to one
another; second, records of the intensity
Of the shock, and third of the exact time
of beginning and closing. If one or more
instrument can be constructed having
heavy weight so supported that 1T Will re-
main relatively unmoved while recording
plates rub against it's projecting pencils,
and if it is connected with clock by
some electric or other attachment, all the
main objects may be approximately OBJ
tanned These are the genral principles
Of seismographs; and by their heavy
pendulums, by inverted pendulums, by
brackets at right angles, and by ingeni-
GUS record diagrams which themselves
may move by clockwork, very god data
have been secured. They all show that
the movements of any particle in the
earth are exceedingly complex and diff
cult to follow.
There was no automatic seismograph in
eastern North America at the time Of the
Charleston shock, but since then number
have been established. Earthquakes
have been specially studied in Japan and
Italy. In the former country there is
chronological society, with proceedings
which now fill several volumes.

U. S. APPLES IN ENGLAND
How and When the First Shipment
Was Made.

My attention has been called to an ar
ticle treating upon the export Of Ameri-
can apples. The export last year: is re-
ported to have been 15,500 pounds of
dried apples and 100000 barrels of green
apples. The value of all is stated at
over $2,S00,000. Until otherwise informed,
believe I am knowing to the first ven
ture in the shipment of our apples to
England. S. S. Lewis was the first Bos-
ton agent of the Cunard Line of steamers
in 183940. The writer was a schoolmate
of Mr.. Lewis son Frank at Green 8
school, Jamaica Plain. One day Frank
said to the writer:
"Father says if I will undertake few
barrels of No. 1 Baldwin apples, having
each apple carefully selected and done up
in paper, he will ship them for me, charg-
ing me 81 barrel freight"
Frank undertook the job, the apples
were duly sent and even sold in Liverpool
at good and satisfactory profit. The
exact return of the sale is not now re-
membered. Frank was a day scholar at
the school and consequently could do the
work of packing at home. This export of
apples was at once taken up by others,
with the astonishing result mentioned
Better results could to-day be realized
if more care should be taken in the selec-
ton of the fruit.

THE BEGINNING.
Philadelphia Times.

At the funeral of a lawyer of state rep

not far from Philadelphia, and who was
known among his friends thereabouts as
an unbeliever, an eminent gentleman from
Philadelphia reached the house after the
minister had begun the sermon. Not
knowing how far the service had pro-
gressed, he accosted. we'll known Quaker
of the town, who was friend Of the de-
ceased, and who was noted for his great
sense of humor, and, leaning over his
shoulder, asked in a whisper:
What part of the service have they
reached?"
To which the Quaker, without smile,
replied:

ItGs said the land for the home will

NAY, NAY, GRAVES.

Some of our people have been thrown
into. perhaps. under excitement, be-
cause of the report that Graves and
Fulton counties, were to constitute a
Judicial District, and many objected
to such an arrangement, In the redis-
tricting muddle one Of the great est
difficulties the Legislature has to meet
is to find a small county willing to gang
with the big county of Graves. The
people of Graves are as clever, as hon.
orable and as patriotic. as the people
of the other counties, but it is charged
that her lawyers. public men. and poll
ticians. are selfish. clanish. and want
the whole earth when it comes to the
offices. and won't give the ambitions of
a smaller county a chance.
