The Glorious Fourth.

Over the country. bells are ringing,
Over the homes of the glad and free:
''Union Forever" the birds are singing
While we are keeping our jubilee.
Boom OF cannon the meadows over.
Throbbing of drums on the morning air;
Every boy is a loyal rover.
Bearing the banner so bright and fair.
"Freedom for ALL" our motto ever,
Flaming in rockets of crimson hue;
Union OF states no hand can sever
Under the Red. the White and the Blue.
This II the glorious Fourth we're keeping.
Here In the land Of the proud and free.
Voices cheering and pulses leaping.
Honortng the nations jubilee.

All ladies and children who cannot stand
the shocking strain Of laxative syrups,
cathartics, etc.. are invited TO try the
famous Little Early Risers. They are

A teacher who can understand him.
She says that when he misbehaves
BY Kindness only she'd command him
Hes sensitive to words unkind.
Impatient, too of contradiction
The dominating o. OF mind
That works the best without restriction.
The neighbors say that Harold gets
His own sweet way more than he ought
TO;
That when he yells and screams and frets
A slippers what he should be brought to,
That measures mild he never heeds;
For drastic ones you'll find them stick

In short. they say. what Harold needs

No bird can fly for any appreciable
distance tail first. The nearest ap-
proach to such movement is shown in
the tnmbler pigeon when that bird
slews his wings forward and, suddenly
turning back his head, throws n somer-
sault. but this is not true backward
flight
When bird wishes to reverse its
motion it tits IFS body laterally, as II
railway carriage would be tilted in
taking a curve, or increases the number
of beats given by one wing as com
pared with the other or keeps one wing
extended while the other Is partially
fleXed. But bird can no more fly
backward than ship can sail astern.
Some birds, however and particular
~ the albatross, can fly half upside

in Il direction nearly perpendicular TO

this position the appearance is some

adapted To any such movement, and
when poised, facing strong wind,
birds may seem to move astern.

Aristocracy of Wealth Not Probable.

Whatever the tendencies of wealthy
Americans of the present day, 1t Is ex-
tremely improbable that an aristocracy
OF wealth should ever come into being.
1t has been seen that IN arlstocracy
depends chiefly upon two conditions
the continued possession and exercise
OF power and the consequent unity OF
aims and ideals.
The aristocratic body in England. for
instance, is self conscious; its members
are united by mutual understanding.
They acknowledge certain well recog-
nized laws Of life and manners. They
depend upon each other to uphold these
laws. Individually, wealthy Ameri-
cans may be both self conscious and
self assertiyc, but collectively they are
antagonistic To one another. The ac-
emulation OF wealth implies struggle.
and struggle does not bring forth the
kind of qualities which make of the
gentle and stately men and women Of

EAT LETTUCE DAILY.
Then You VIII he In No Danger of
Catching Smallpox.

SnAAAPOA.
Lettuce is an absolute preventive Of
smallpox. No one is in the least par
ticle of danger of catching smallpox
who eats a little lettuce every day.
Smallpox belongs to the seorbutic
class of diseases. Sailors at sea, de-
prlved of fresh vegetables, get scurvy.
Scurvy is a typical seorbutic disease
Smallpox is another. Smallpox always
RACES during the winter season, when
the poor people are deprived of fresh
vegetable foods.
Celery and onions are good for this
purpose, but there is such long inter
val between their being gathered and
being eaten that they lose most of
their antiseorbutic properties. Lettuce
is served shortly after it is picked.
and hence contains the valuable prop
critics which will prevent smallpox.
We say without the least hesitation
or reserve that lettuce will prevent
smallpox. 1t is thousand times bet
ter than vaccination. 1t has no liabil-
tiles, like vaccination. to produce other
diseases. We are willing to stake our
professional reputation on the broad
statement that any one who eats let
tuce daily will not catch smallpox,
whether he be yaccinated or not

No replied Rossetti, "but I've writ
