The Maid of Other Days
By Arthur H. FolweI

Oh vanished maids of grand1na's day,
What darksome lives were those you lee
Obliged in youth to pick your way;
Uncertain paths to keep and tread;
No experts had you to advise,
To counsel, caution or direct
Your maiden steps; no mentors WISE
Or faithful watchers circumspect.
When grandpapas a-calling came,
No chats with girls were yours to tell
The judgment of some worthy dame
The time to sound the Curfew bell
And all in vain you sought the truth
They tell it now-if twas a sin,
When after dark comedy youth
Had seen you home, to ask him in
You never 1earned-oh, vanished fair!--
You could not, had it been your wish
The latest way to best prepare
Your luncheon in a chatting dish.
And cen perhaps you never read
The fact that hungry companies
Would rather starve than not be fed
From Mrs Cookem's recipes
You could not tell, III wager now,
OF countless things the etiquette;
In spite of which, somewhere, somehow,
You got your start; and yet-and yet
1t really is a problem quite
To find what saved you from the bad;
You had no Hints" to guide you right;
Your mothers, they all you had.

When she returned it the same thing all the

Then naturally after many such returns with the

Then Mister Frog became sorry. He is still

.FlsHs MATERNAL INSTINCT
How the Bass Looks After the Eggs
and the Young--other Char
acteristics.

of the state fish hatcheries, to the
Evening Wisconsin. "In fact the
fish is the most unhuman creature

perhaps it is well that it is so,
for if the parent fish took care of
their young as other creatures do
the waters of the earth would be
filed with them in a very short
time. Under natural conditions
not one egg in a million ever be-
comes a fish a year old. AS an ex-

trout go out into the spawning
place and spawn their eggs and
then turn around and deliberately
eat them.
"For the past few years ] have
been much interested in expert
menting with bass and studying
their ways. Here the male parent
has some maternal instincts APP
parently. He builds the nest for
the female, some little pocket with
gravel bottom protected from
the strong current, but with plen-
ty of fresh water, and then hugs
or pushes the female into it. The
eggs are spawned by the female,
who swims away and leaves them
to their fate. The male fertilizes
the eggs and then for a few days
watches over them, tanning them

EDINBURoH'S CLOSING HOUR
At Ten O'clock All Business Ceases
and Nothing, Not Even Eat
ables, Is to Be Had.

Edinburgh is city Of more than
100000 souls, and this is the
story is told of it in the lie Cri de
Paris by a recent French visitor:
This capital of Scotland, though
the seat of a celebrated university,
is so far behind the twentieth cen
fury that one might as we'll believe
it to be in the middle age. Recent
lily the great rOmancer Conan
Doyle delivered a lecture there,
speaking until half-past ten at
night. When he returned to his
hotel he was tired and ordered u
dinner.
Impossible, after ten in the
evening, he was informed.
He insisted, duplicated. He
was compelled to take the train
for London with an empty stOm-
ach.
Some weeks before an eminent
parsonage had been received by
the authorities. He was rendered
a banquet, but the usages of the
hotel were followed. The feast
was prolonged until morning. On
leaving the mayor said: "You will
find upon your hotel bill the cost
of the banquet. Do not be sur
prised, we shall pay it; but we
have not the right to eat a meal in
this hotel after ten p. m. unless as
your invited guests"
ThelOrdprovost, the first magis
trate, received the official visit of
a high parsonage. He took him
about all day. In the evening they

said the provost. The walters

A Name That the Anciepts Origin
ated in Connection with scrius
the Dog Star.

"You can expect such weather
as this in dog days." said the gov
eminent weather sharper, accord
ing to the Kansas City Star.
"Ninety-three in the shade is nor
NAL in dog day weather"
The belief that the warm
weather Of dog days is caused by
the rising together at this time of
year Of the dog star and the sun is
as old as history. Away back in
the dawn of history the Egyptians
began the year with the dog
days. the time when the rising of
the dog star conceded with the ris-
ing of the sun and the food of the
river Nile, which overfowed and
enriched the banks of that river.
Many centuries later, when the
Roman empire was at the height
of its glory, the warmest period Of
the year, between July 3 and
August II, was called the Cam
cular days. Camcula was a Latin
name for Serius, the star common
ly known as the dog star. 1t is a
star of the first magnitude in the
constellation Canus Major, and is
the brightest fixed star in the
armament. The Romans ascribed
the great heat of summer to the
influence of this star rising with
the sun in the morning about July
l in that latitude and continuing
to so rise until about August Is.
But this star does not rise with
the sun in all ATTITUDES, and owing
to the law of procession it rises a
little later each year, and in time
ii will arise with the sun, not in
summer, but in the depth of win
ter. BUTT is probable that the dog
myth will live forever, and even
when, IN ages TO come, the dog star
rises heliacally, or with the sun, in
midwinter, the first weeks of An
gust will yet be known popularity
as dog days"
Astronomers says that the dog
star has nothing whatever to do
with the warm weather of mid
summer. 1t is due alone to the po-
sition of the earth's surface in the
temperate zone at this season,
which receives the suns rays al
most vertically, preventing the
heat rays from glancingoff. Strik-
| ing the earth's surface vertically
the rays generate more warmth,
just as the surface of a mirror
heldverticallytOwa a fire will re-
fleet more heat than if held slant.

Broke Forth Afresh Between Here and
 Naco-Southwestern Officials Spend Day in the city-Wreck Occurs on s. p. East of Benson Two Miles.

Train No of the Southwestern pulled a burning coach from Osborne to this city yesterday morning. When it arrived here there was hose ready to play a stream of water, in con formity with instructions sent by wire from down the line. The hose was played and it was thought at the time the fire was out. It burned, however, between the ceiling and the roof. un- til Naco was reached. At that point the fire had again assumed threatened proportions, and an ax was resorted to to reach the point where 1t was lo- cated. Meantime on the way from Osborne to Naco the fire caused con siderable excitement in the coach. One passenger demanded that the train be stopped and passengers let out of the coach. A number of others were wis ibly frightened. Had strong breeze struck the flame there might have been good cause for terror, as the flame would have been swept through the coach. The fire was due to a de- fective flue from a heating stove in the car.
 Superintendent Morris. of the South western, and Superintendent of Bridges Ryan were in the city yester- day, spending the day here in looking over the local yard. Considerable work is now being done there. and a good deal more is contemplated for the near future.
 Southern Pacific freight wreck oc- cured yesterday morning about two miles east of Benson. Two cars were sent into the ditch. Getting the wreck age out of the way consumed several hours. during which passenger trains on both sides of the wreck were delay ed. No one was hurt in the accident.

 Resumption at the Alsacia has been looked forward to with much expectan- cy by numerous stockholders in the city for some time. It Is believed that the work will make a valuable mining property. When the shut down oc- cured last fall there was excellent ore showing in the incline tunnel which had been put down $50 feet. Copper and silver were the values.
 The development now to be taken up will be from the bottom of the shaft and will be in sinking to furthe depth It is expected that in so doing an lm- portant ore body will be blocked out. and that within the next several months the property will be in shape to go into the regular shipping list

Protection From Water Needed It has been suggested that as the rainy season is now supposed to be council to undertake the work of pro tecting the city from the rivers of water which runs through the streets during heavy rainfalls. It is believed that this could be done without very heavy expense, and it Is certainly something which should be done be- fore the coming of the heavy rains of next season.
