Waitinu,


What do we know of pain or ruth
In that first age Of living?
The Immortality of youth
Its transient splendor giving?
What do we reck of patience then,
OF self with self debating
To stay the impatient spirit when
1t has most need of waiting?
Oh lesson hardest to be learned,
What must we lose to gain it?
The wise discipline has been spurned,
Nor cared we to attain it;
For life was then summer song,
Our hearts and souls elating.
We hurried with the eager throng,
And scorned the art Of waiting.
Now wiser grown we've learned to wait,
To curb each high endeavor;
We've learned our strength to estimate
When it has gone forever.
We've gained the lore when steps are
slow
Past youth, past love, past hating
The wisdom we would fain forego
The peace that comes with waiting.

Effective Headache Cure.

Here is headache cure that is
said to be marvellous remedy and to
relieve the sufferer when all else fails.
1t is easy to make and easy to apply,
and it consists simply Of black pep
per and camphor. Take quantity of
black pepper and put it in a handker.
chief. Then fold the handkerchief
over so that the grains cannot fall
out and saturate the whole thing with
camphor. Bind this "plaster" on the
head and lie down. In very few
moments the headache will be re-
lieved and the patient will be asleep.
When the handkerchief becomes dry
saturate again with the camphor.
That's all. People who have tried
everything else say that this home
remedy relieves them quickest. AT
any rate. it is worth trying.

WHAT MAKES A GENTLEMAN.
Qualities That Neither Wealth Nor

Qualities That Neither Wealth Nor
Education Can Impart to Man.
. Archbishop Temple, the recently
deceased primate of the established
church of England and man of the
highest character, gave a short time
before his death the following outline
of what he considered really gentle
manly conduct:
1.-THE man who is thoroughly unset
fish in all small things, he is the man
lin regard of whom it is quite impos-
'sible for you not to feel, that man is
a gentleman. Let his rank in society
he what it may let him be ignorant Of
the ordinary conventionalities OF
social intercourse, still, if the man
be truly self-sacrificing if in his ordi'
nary relations with his fellows there
lis true and genuine unselfishness, it
is impossible for any man who has
much to do with him not to feel That
man is a gentleman I don't care
whether he is educated or not, wheth-
:er he is learned or not; I don't care
how ignorant he may be or how low
he may stand; I don't care if he be
ever so poor; the man WAC constantly
shows that he is constantly giving
himself up for other people, that man
is at heart and in reality one OF
natures gentlemen and this is the
way in which he shows it."

A POINT FOR SCIENTISTS.

Why the Spontaneous Combustion of

Destruction of trees by spontaneous

quently on the banks of the River
Cam, near Cambridge, England. At
one point in the river the process has
been seen going on. Hale and green
willow trees, covered with rich mass
of foliage and in a f1ourishing condi-
ton on the river banks, suddenly
burst forth into ignition and burn like
finder right down to the core.
In most of the cases the trees were
little more than striplings, so that
putrescence or fermentation can hard
ly be given as reason for the phen-
omenon. The big, vigorous willows
poured forth clouds of smoke from
their halfburned stems, and when the
fire had burned out presented an ap-
pearance Of charred ruins, looking as
if they had been stripped and shat.

1t is up to the scientists to explain
away the fact that though large per-
centage of the substance of trees is
water, yet these willow trees burned
without aid from other sources.

AN OLD TIME FLOOD
HoAIMhN TELLS OF EXPERT.
/ # ENcE ON THE RIVER.
He%Piloted HiasBoat Over RaiI#Een,ces
and Country Roads and Tied Up
for the Night to tho Top Branches
Of Trees.

'The food which sent the Ohio river
SPRAYING all through the woods in
184S was about as nigh the one that
Noah encountered as ever saw" said
an old boatman who quit the river ten
years ago and who spends his leisure
time about the ship store concern Of
his sons in South street in this city.
Il was captain of steamer that piled
between the upper landings of the
Ohio and Cairo.
Cairo was the big port where we
always took on stores. It depended on
business as to how far up we went. In
the food Of '48 we run about as we
pleased.
The government had no charts of
the Ohio then, and if there had been
any we would have paid no attention
to them. I piloted the Tuscumbia right
over rail fences and country roads in
that food. We hadn't many landings
to make, for. there was no place to
make fast the head lines.
Il distinctly remember tying up the
Tuscumbia one night to big tree that
stood in waste of water extending as
far as the. eye could see. The night
coming on I found we could not make
the port I wanted to make and navi-
cation by night was altogether too
risky at that high stage of the water.
So sent out the mate and deckhands
in the yawl with tow lines which they
made fast to huge tree, which was a
landmark on shore, near Rockport.
THAT was not far from the place
where Lincoln is said to have run his
fatboat. All night long the Tuscumbia
tugged at her ropes and chains and I
expected every minute that she
would either break 'em or pull up the
tree.
Among my passengers were sew.
eral Cumberland Presbyterian preach.
ers who were bound down to Smithton
to take a boat to Nashville, where
they were going to attend the General
Assembly of their denomination. 1t
looked pretty squally, and invited the
preachers to have a meeting in the
ladies' cabin.
Everybody aboard took more or
less interest in the service except the
fellow who ran the bar. I had quite
a time of it in keeping him quiet. He
said the preachers aft were interfer-
ing with his business for'ard, and that
if didn't stop the prayer meeting he'd
cut the ropes that held up to the big
tree. I soon convinced him that such
an act would be worse than the meet.
ing, as in case he carried out his dia-
bolical plan everybody would go to
praying, and he would probably be in
the lead.
"The meeting lasted nearly all night.
The next morning we cast off, and by
cutting across fields and through the
woods we made our first landing the
next day, pretty we'll up on the side OF
a bluff We let down the smoke stacks
of the Tuscumbia in order to keep
them from getting tangled in the
branches of the trees.
81 don't think there was as great a
loss of life in that food as there has
been in the floods this year, partly ow'
ing to the fact that there were not SO
many people. But it was the greatest
flood I ever saw while I was in the
business" New York Sun.

@"I suppose, said Uncle Hiram, "the

Z Once, when5I was a younger man,
going along the street one day, saw
two boys fighting. Now, If there's
anything I don't like to see it's two
boys, out of their heads with anger,
and tearing and scratching and pound
ing one another, with lot of big
brutes standing around and looking on
and enjoying it; and so I steps over
to these two, boys and tries to separ-
ate 'em.
"Here!' says a big Teller, on the.

do there?'

We'll, you trot along now, and

down to the street, where the boys
was, and giving me little push on

and he hit out at me, and the next
there in the street in great shape,
hammer and tongs; and the crowd
wasn't just standing along on the
curb now, but surrounding us in a
ring, and we goin' it biff-bang all the

1.-THE two boys, of course, stopped

Go it! Skeesicks! Go it, and
seemed to be more delighted over it
all than anybody. And we went it all
right to finish"
did you lick him, Uncle Hiram?''
asked the lusty young nephew to
whom the old gentleman had told this
story.
"We'ell,' said Uncle Hiram, that's
hardly for me to say; but that fight
taught me one lesson, that the old

An Appetizinu Dish.

Orange salad is an appetizing dish
for luncheon and may be prepared in
this way: Peel five or six oranges,
carefully removing all the white pith
and cutting the pulp in the natural
divisions, being careful to leave
neither pips nor skin on these little
divisions; mix together little very
finely chopped tarragon and chervil, a
dessertspoonful each of brandy and
salad oil and pinch of sugar, and
season each piece of orange with this
mixture. Pile the seasoned orange
on a dish and place it on ice for an
hour or two before serving it.
