imagination than to put aside, if only
for an hour, the comfortless facts of
the prosaic present, to live even so
briefly amid the sunlit scenes and sin
less pleasures of the childhood past.
Verdant indeed are the distant hills
which memory pictures to the remin-
iscent mind; sweet and refreshing the
translucent waters of the dancing
brooks in which were bathed the I'M
polluted lips of innocence and mirth;
from which were reflected those
buoyant, yet tender emotions which
find expression on the face of youth.
Unhappy the soul that has out
lived the influence of early feeling, or
that lives only in the scentless garden
of what is Indifferent to the fragrant
blossoms of what has been; impover-
ished the spirit into which there does
not steal occasionally those little
CLEANS of joy which sparkle like drops
of crystal in the sunshine, shedding a
lustre chaste and sweet as the soft
gleamings of an angels eye; exhaling
incense culled in other days before
the best emotions of the soul were
frozen by the processes of time, or
parched and blasted by some sudden
stroke.
Some there may be who deem it
wasted time to dwell in silent rapture
among the treasured flowers of the
distant recollection; some who feel an
impulse to rebuke the lusty shout, or
spontaneous laughter of the ardent
monarch of the play ground or the
wood, but more lovable far the tenn
permanent that grows young again
where children are, and salutes from
the deepest recesses of the heart.
Blessings on thee, little man,
Barefoot boy with cheek of tan.
From my heart give thee joy,
I was once a barefoot boy"
Infinitely happier the bosom in
which there fingers even now a chord
responsive to the laughter and the
shouts:
"Oh for boyhood's painless play,
Sleep that wakes in laughing day,
Health that mocks the doctors rules,
knowledge never learned of schools
Somewhere l read of man whose
idea of heaven was childhood renewed
and preserved in us by God, through
all eternity, and often l have thought
that this were heaven indeed:
To feel again a mothers yearning
love,
To hear a fathers voice in kindness
greet.
TO clasp sister gone so long before,
In brief to feel that I was home once
more.
True it is:

He was HI. o,yn Grandsather

OF all genealogical curiosi'ies the one
set forth below is probably the oldest
a singular piece of reasoning to prove
that manmay be his own grandfather!
Here it is: There WIS widow (Anne)
and her daughter Gane) and man
George and his son (Henry). Thls
widow married the son, and the daugh-
ter married the father. The widow was
therefore mother GI! law to her hus-
bands father and grandmother to her
own husband. BY this husband She
had son DAVID, to whom she was, OF
course, great-grandlnother. Now, the
son Of 4 great-grandmother must be
grandfather or grarduncle to the per-
son to whom his mother was or IS
great-grandmother, but in this instance
Anne was great-grandmother to him
David; therefore David could not be
other than his own grandfather.

Excessive Energy.

Energy is fine thing, but, like
steam, it needs a little restraint and
careful guiding II the safety valve
doesn't work there's likely to be a
breakdown or blow up now and then.
The nervousy, fdgety woman is a
dreadful bore. She ruffles up the at
mosphere and makes everybody wish
she would take vacation and rest up
like sixty. Some Of those people who
fly around the fastest do the least
work, and the proper thing to acquire
Is balance. Work as hard as you want
to, but let up when the moment for
letting up arrives. There is limit to
human endurance. and when you 80
beyond the limit you never get back
into the valve Of strong endurance and
fine vitality. IT. is the man or the wo-
man who knows how to work and how
to rest who gets things done all fine
and shipshape anG without tearing the
roof of its feet. These remarks may
be blunt, like 4 chisel, but they're as
true as the fact that the Lord made lit
tie apples-Chicago Record-Herald.

A Paradox Explained.

Why does net 4 man weigh pound
more Immediately after eating pound
weight Of food? a little reflection will
readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process Of mastication, de-
glutition, etc, certain muscles are
brought into active play, and the exer-
else Of any muscle necessitates ten
porary waste Of its tissues, and GER
tain amount Of carbon is eliminated
and passed off during the course Of the
meal. This loss, however, is trifing as
compared with that due to respiration
and perspiration. beth Of which are
increased during the various operations
Of making meal.
The length Of time one may take to
consume a pound OF food makes but
little difference to those losses, for if 1t
is eaten leisurely there is but slight
increase Of respiration or perspiration,
whereas if it is hurried through both
are abnormally accelerated. Hence by
the time the pound is eaten the con-
sumer has lost appreciably in moisture
and carbonic acid.

The Labor OF q Watch.

The little balance wheel Of watch
vibrates five times per second Imag-
Inc that this wheel, instead Of swing
ing back and forth like pendulum,
should roll on continuously over given
surface. Its circumference in a gentle
mans watch Of ordinary size is two
and a quarter inches, and it makes a
sweep in each direction Of about three
fourths of its circumference. In other
words it would traverse in one second
a distance measuring about eight and
a half inches. According to this COM
putation, the balance wheel Of watch
would travel in a year over distance
Of 3,677 miles in round numbers, and
it would take the little wheel just six
years eight months to circumvolve the
globe by way Of the equator.

Odd Street Names.

In Clerkenwell, England, there is a
street called Picked Egg walk. 1t
takes its name from Picked Egg tav-
ern, which formerly stood there and
made a specially Of serving picked
eggs. An interesting London thorough
fare is Hanging Sword alley, which
is mentioned in Dickens ''Tale Of Two
Cities" London has also Pickleher-
ring street. In Leicester is street
called the Holy Bones and another
called Gallows Tree Gate. Hull has
a street with the extraordinary name,
the Land CT Green Ginger. Corydon
has street named Pump Pail, and
there some years ago lived Peter Pottle,
a dealer in furniture The most daring
Of farce writer's might we'll have hesi-
tated to invent combination Of name
and address so improbable as that
which really belonged to Peter Pottle

MASTER OF THE VESSEL.

When but Twelve Years of Age.

A story OF FarraEut in Command
When but Twelve Years of Age.
The story Of a boy OF twelve years
acting as commander Of ship seems
rather wonderful, yet Farragut was
but twelve years and four days old
when he was put in command Of the
Barclay, prize ship taken by Captain
Porter. In consideration Of his tender
years. says the author Of ''Twenty-six
Historic Ships the former English
master Of the vessel was sent in her
for tire possible benefit the young prize
master might find in his advice. Far
r;;gut tells the story Of the queer di-
vision Of authority in his journal as
follows:
Il considered that the day Of trial
had arrived, for was a little afraid Of
the old fellow, as every one else was.
But the time had come for me at least
to play the man. So I mustered up
courage and Informed the captain that
I desired the main topsail filed away
in order that we might close up with
the Essex Junior. He replied that he
would shoot any man who dared to
touch a rope without his orders. BE
would 80 his own course and had no
idea Of trusting himself with a blasted
NUTSHELL and then be went below for
his pistols.
81 called my right hand man Of the
crew and told him Of my situation. l
also informed him that I wanted the
main topsail filed. He answered with
a clear AYE, aye, SIR in a manner that
was not to I've misunderstood, and my
confidence was perfectly restored.
"From that moment became master
Of the vessel and Immediately gave all
necessary orders for making sail, no
tifying the captain not to come on with
his pistols unless be wished to 80 over
board. for I really would have had
very little trouble in having such an
order obeyed.'

A FAMILY QUARREL.
rs DroII Ending After the Poet
Shelley Had Interfered.


Shelley Had Interfered.
In his s.Rossetti Papers William
Rossetti says that when Shelley was
staying in the villa Of the Gisbornes
a most droll incident occurred. 1t ap-
pears that his servants, Giuseppe and
Annunziata, who were man and wife,
Quarreled, and Shelley, hearing Giu-
seppe abusing his wife very savagely
and also i'll using her, rushed upon him
with pistol, shouting: '.I'll shoot you!
I'll shoot you!' The startled fellow
ran for his very life, Shelley after
him, till the servant, coming to shrub
berry of laurels, managed to slip under
them, Shelley, in his eagerness, darting
past him. The servant in few min
utes found it possible to dodge back
into the house unperceived. Shelley,
seeing him no more, at last went back
to the house, where, to his unutterable
surprise, he found Giuseppe and An
nunziata sitting together in the most
amicable manner, addressing each 9TH
er as caro- and ''carissima." But
were you not quarreling even now%
exclaimed the perpleXed poet. "Quar-
reling?' gasped Giuseppe in amaze
ment. "No, signor, we never quarrel
ed" "But I have been running after
you in order to shoot you" mo, 81
gnor, you never ran after me, for / have
been sitting here for the last hour or
more. You must have fancied all this" !"
And Giuseppe and Annunziata, who
had both been considerably frightened,
continuing to assure him that they. had
bad no quarrel, and Mary Shelley,
whom they had let into the secret, say
ing the same, Shelley was at last utter
~ mystifed and inclined himself to be-
ieve that he must have fancied it.

Prodiga1ity OF Life In Ancient Egypt

Prodigality OF Life In Ancient Egypt
The reckless prodigality with which
in ancient Egypt the upper classes
squandered away the labor and lives
of the people is perfectly startling. In
this respect, as the monuments yet re-
naming abunGantly prove, they stand
alone and without a rival. We may
form some idea OF the almost incred-
ible waste when we hear that 1000
men We're occupied for three years in
carrying single stone from Elephan-
tine to Sais, that the canal Of the Red
sea alone cost the lives Of 10000
Egyptians and that to build one Of the
pyramids required the labor of 36O,O00
men for twenty years.
