The Reversible Poem

The following may be read either up
Or down without altering the sense.
The stars were all alight,
The moon was overhead;
manned her queen of night,
AS she my footsteps led.
So wondrous fair was she,
l asked her to be mine,
AS she glanced up at me
l thrilled with love divine.
Beside the meadow bars.
AS we stood lingering there,
Her eyes were like the stars,
In radiance wondrous fair.
you're all the world to me"
She murmured sweet and shy,
A thrill of ecstasy,
felt at her reply.
Love led us all the way
AS we turned home again;
Our hearts were light and gay,
The world was blissful. then,
Though shadows crossed the sky,
No gloom our hearts could know,
True bliss is ever nigh
When hearts are blended so.

The fortieth anniversary of the great
battle of Gettysburg, is marked in the
July number of Scribner's Magazine by
General Gordon 'svivid descriptive paper,
certainly the most brilliant account of
it that the Confederate side of the con-
fiict has produced. General Gordon
contributes his personal explanation of
how the Confederates failed to seize
Cemetery Ridge, the key of the whole
situation, on the evening of the first
days battle when the Federal troops
were routed. General Gordon begged
for the opportunity to occupy the posi-
ton but was prevented by superior or
ders. His account of the critical strug-
gle on the third day, eliminating in
Picketts charge, is most stirring and
eloquent. Summing up the whole bat
tie he asserts that had Lees orders been
promptly and cordially executed,
Meade's centre on the third day would
have been penetrated and the Union
army overwhelmingly defeated.

HAVE FAITH IN ROOSEVELT.
The Presidents Popularity in tho
West Described by Congressman
RAde

Washington, June 19-Representa-
tive j. Adam Bede, of the Duluth dis
trict, said today:
The people living in Washington do
not at all understand the popularity of
the President beyond the Alleghanies.
When one goes as far as Minnesota the
enthusiasm equals any ever accorded to
the "Plumed Knight" in his palmiest
days, and in the arid regions he is re-
garded as an oasis in the political desert.
All this is not because of any particular
thing he has done or promised to do, but
because he has demonstrated that his
heart is right, that his head is clear;
that, contrary to the expectations of
some, he is safe and well poised, and be-
cause we have an abiding faith that
whatever occasions arise he will be on
the side of the best interest of the
American people. There are a few in
the East who think the President of the
United States should assume a sort of
stained glass attitude and be as wise
and silent as memorial window. But
we of the West are not so formal in our
manners, and quite generally approve
of speaking forceful English. Mr..
Roosevelt's last public utterance before
the death of President Mckinley was on
the Minnesota State Fair grounds, and
with his lofty sentiment still ringing in
their ears our people turned to him with
sympathy and hopefulness in the hour
of the nations grief, nor have they seen
cause to falter since.

Woodmen and Royal Neighbors At
tend the Memorial Day Service

woodmen and Royal Neighbors At
tend the Memorial Day Service
Sunday was Memorial Sunday fol
the Modern Woodmen of America and
the local camp OF the Woodmen and
the Royal Neighoors attended service
In the morning at the First M. T.
church and listened to an encourag.
ing and helpful sermon by Rev. ]. P,
Warner.
The music by the choir of fourteen
voices was inspiring and the singing
OF the gospel song, "The Ninety and
Nine, "by E. e. Lohnes, was effective
and well received by the large con
gregation.
At the close OF the service the
Woodmen marched to Oak Hill and
decorated the graves OF the six Neigh.
bors who are there buried. =
Following is synopsis OF the ser.
mon on the subject: "The Art of En-
couragement." Mr.. Warner said.
If / understand rightly the princi.
PIES of your order, they are noble ones.
They teach you to be kind, to be sym.
pathetic, to help those in affilc ton
You are here today In memory of the
Neighbors who have departed from
your midst. That is right, like to
see you remember your dead, but let
us not forget the living today.
I shall not speak so much of the or.
der itself, but / want to help. you all
as individuals. want to show you
where you may gain this great art OF
encouraging your friends, your neigh
bors and those near and dear to you.
Do not speak lightly Of those who
blunder and are wayward-perhaps you
hurt some one else when you do. 1t
was Christ who said to the man sick
OF the palsy-the man whose sins had
paralyzed his body and turned his mind
from all good things-"Be Of good
cheer, thy sins are forgiven thee.
How much those simple words meant
Did you ever trylit? II you see a
neighbor or friend discouraged, why
not say, "Be of goud cheer" Tell him
TO look up, there are brighter days in
store for him.
We often wound our dear ones by
our indifference to their little trials
and disappointments. How much
good one little kind word or a CHEEKY
smile would do. / trust that we may
think Of these things and be more care
full that we do not shut our eyes to the
sorrows Of mankind, but do all lin oul
power to cheer and brighten the lives
of our fellow men.

The Evening Services.

A large audience In the evening
greeted Atty. Walter S. Westerman,
of Adrian, who spoke on "Law En-
forcement. Mr.. Westerman Is a
speaker Of ability, and places the
truth before his hearers in language at
once forcible and eloquent and last
night he certainly impressed his audi
ence. He is the father of seven sons,
and as he said, he certainly has right
to be interested in this great question
Of temperance which means so much
to his boys and ours, and is doing all in
his power to fight the grim evil and so
ought every father and every mother
who loves his and her boys and girls.
Mr.. Westerman often moved his
hearers to tears by the pathos and
earnestness of his address when he de-
picted the horrors and the desolation
caused by the licensed liquor traffic.
He declared that the United States
had lost three Of herinoble presidents
through it's direct agency, the assas-
sinators all being under the influence
Of liquor at the time the deeds were
committed
He traced the history OF the liquor
revenue back to the starting point,
showing how the political parties had
stood for it, and by 1t. He de-
clared that the only way to stop this
terrible evil is for our voters to vote
against the saloon and elect men who
will see that laws are enforced, not
men who are in league with the brew.

who will rent his building for the pur-

KITE FLYING AT SEA.
An Elective Way Of Comparing High
Level Temperatures in Diff
ferent Places.

Kites carrying self-reg1stering ther-
mometers and other instruments have
been sent up to various heights over
land by means of balloons and kites,
and good deal has thus been learned
about the condition of the atmosphere
over continental areas. 1t is possible
that the rate of cooling with ascent
may not be the same over the ocean.
Perhaps other differences may be dis
covered, too, when investigation has
gone far enough. At any rate, for q
year or two past this sort of expert
ment has been contemplated eagerly
by a few enthusiasts, and little has
actually been accomplished.
In one respect there is a notable diff
ference between the two classes of
work. On land the observer and his
windlass are stationary, and the kite
runs out as far as it can. At sea the
kite, or string of kites, is hauled by a
moving tug or steamship.

work done last summer off the west

TUBERCULOSIS CAMPS.
How ConsuSnptives Get Well, or aS
Least Prol0ng Life. by Dwelling
2 ,-- Out of Doors. ~ e

It is truly an easy and enjoyable way
of getting we'll for any one who is lover
of nature, for, as has been stated, the
main principle carried out is to get in
touch with that which is out of doors-to
be amid the trees, continually breathing
the air purified by natural processes, to
exercise and eat and sleep, if possible.
with the sky for canopy. The medical
man of the olden time would indeed be
shocked if he could visit one of these
places, to see so-called invalids hard at
work in the forests making their camps,
lolling about in hammocks in summer
with heads uncovered, and lying mufhed
in blankets and furs In the sunlight in
the dead of winter, with no shelter but
the blue sky above them. But these are
only some of the ways in which health
is sought. Patients who are able to
stand the exercise amuse themselves by
clearing away the snow from the veran-
das in the winter-even the women
handling the broom and shovel and en-
joying it. Coasting on the hillsides is
another strange recreation for those
whom we call consumptives encouraged
at the Massachusetts institutions. Phys
ical culture is one of the requisites for
those who are able to attempt it, and
daily dozen or score of patients are
put through the simple movements, un-
der the guidance of perhaps one of their
number or a member of the medical
staff. The tent life is part Of the rou-
tine of the women in summer as well as
of the men, and it is an actual fact that
in Massachusetts some of the women
have erected their own camps for win
ter, decorating the walls with posters
and photographs, and converting them
into miniature club houses, where they
occupy themselves in conversation, read
ing, sewing and various games.
These camps are unique in many re-
spects. The buildings are composed Of
but three sides, that facing the south
being left open. They are simply sheds.

from the ground affecting the inmates.
Some forest trees are used for posts, and
the walls made of planks or boughs fas-
tened to them. II the temperature Is
too low for comfort, 1t is moderated by
the use of small stove, sometimes an
open fire. Draught is furnished by dig
gfng tunnel through the earth beneath

with his pick and shovel. The outfit con-
sists of a nest of dry batteries, two me-
tallic posts, an instrument for measur-
ing the resistance of the current and a
coil of wire. To examine any piece Of
ground for mineral deposit the stake
which supports the batteries and meas

the second stake is connected to the ap-

When the circuit is closed the current
passes over the wire and returns through
the ground, necessarily traversing any
body of metal or mineral which may be
located in the interval. The prospector

METALS AND MINERALS.
Which Makes Easy the DiscOv-
cry of Hidden Wealth.

When BENJAMIN Franklin made the
experiments which put us in touch with
electricity he could hardly have had an
idea OF the many uses to which the Won
derful current would be applied by the
inventors. Probably the transmission
of power over long distances through q
strand of copper wire and the sending of
messages under the ocean without any
wire at all never entered his mind, but
we who have all this are still not satis-
fed, and the search for new applications
Of the electric current is yet going on.
Now 1t is to be utilized to discover what
the earth has hidden in its depths in tho
way of mineral wealth, enabling tho
prospector to locate bed Of mineral

SCIENTIFIC KITE FLYING.

Of the Royal Meteorological society
The style of kite employed resembled
the Hargrave pattern Of box kite ir
general design. It was four-sided, and
composed of two cells. one ahead Of
the other. The opening in front
though, instead of having square cor
ncrs, was diamond shaped. Mr.. Dimes
calls it ''rhombus kite" The two
diameters of the diamond we're six fee1
and three feet by six inches, while the
length of the kite was seven feet si1
inches. Steel wire was used for a kite
string. Operations were conducted
from the stern of a small tug, IS feet
long and 141h feet wide.
She was stationed near Crinan, and
except on Sundays, ascents were made
from her deck every day, no matter
what the weather, from July to Au-
gust rs. The vessel could not steam
more than seven knots, and the wind
velocity necessary to raise q kite is
from nine to IL knots, so that on oc-
casions when it was dead calm nc
kite could be started. 1t happened,
however, that no day was. calm
throughout, so that some time during
the hours of daylight the opportunity
of reaching at least 1,50O feet elevation
was afforded. Mr.. Dimes adds, how
ever: Had the tug been capable OF
ten instead of seven knots. l have lit
tie doubt that a height of 5000 feet
might have been attained every day" Z"
Ordinarily, the strain on the wire
was not allowed to exceed 40 or SO
pounds, although the wire had been
tested up to 300. If more than one
kite was sent up on the same line the
strain for each branch was kept with
in the limits specified. This would be
controlled by altering the speed and
direction of the boat to suit the wind.
One of the fruits of last years work is
embodied in the following paragraph:
"A further result of the observations
shows that the temperature of Ben
Nevis (the highest mountain in Great
Britain, it's elevation being 4,406 feet
was in every instance below that of
the free air at the same AeVeA some oO
miles to the southwest, often from five
to eight degrees Fahrenheit below.
That the two air temperatures should
have agreed was hardly expected, but
the difference was very marked, and 1t
is desirable that the experiments
should be repeated in the same locality
to confirm the result. The fact, how
ever, that the summit of the noun
tain is so often wrapped in clouds,
when the sky is clear elsewhere, tends
to show that the summit must be un-
lulv cold. and it seems likely that the
effect is produced by the cooling of the
air as it is forced up the mountain
slope. In fact the cloud level on all
the mountains and hills in the neigh
borhood was always much below the
point at which the kites entered the
clouds. It is also known from the dif-
ferences in the barometer on Ben Nevis
and the values computed from read
ines at the base that the temperature
of the intermediate layers of air is not
truly represented by the mean derived
from the summit and sea level temper

The reasons why certain plants are
avoided by slugs and snails have been
shown by experiments to be various.
Tannin, acid saps, ethereal oils and Bit
ter substances prove to be Objectionable
to these creatures, and some plants are
protected by acid-secreting hairs. The
carrot, which is particularly attractive
to slugs, remained practically untouched
after treatment with one per cent. solu-
ton of potassium binoxalate. Certain
aquatic plants we're stunned by the wa
ter snails, but were speedily eaten after
the tannin had been extracted.

CURED BY THE SHOCK.
TOPPER Thought He Had Broken Hit

and Quit.

Jones, in spite Of being really kind
ly. honest fellow, with loving wife, a
cozy home and dourishing young fam
lily. was rapidly becoming slave to
drink. Night after night he went home
In q state which made his little wife
heartsick, until she, with a woman's
ready wit, devised a scheme, and with
the aid Of the family physician gave
Jones such a shock that he probably
never will drink again. says the New
York Press.
Like all other men, Jones usually lost
all recollection of his actions after he
had reached q certain period of intoxica-
ton. When. hve or six weeks ago, he ar
rived at his home In q fit state for the
experiment his wife had him put to bed,
Az he lay there, dead to the world, the
doctor put his right leg into casing of
plaster of paris and splints, taking care
to bind them 30 tightly that when Jones
recovered consciousness all sense Of
feeling would have left the limb.
It was q pathetic scene, mixed with
grim humor, when Jones awoke the next
day and was told that in trying to find
the keyhole he had fallen down the area
and broken his leg. His remorse was
augmented by the pressure on his leg.
which the doctor took pains to keep alive
at each successive dressing, and by the
time Jones had been in bed month all
desire for stimulants had left him.
It 10 not likely he will drink to excess
again, but II he reads this story of his
loving wife's new cure for the alcoholic
habit he will surely drop that limp which
he now affects during his daily walk
down Broadway.
