He is now at the city hospital with a chance of re- covery.
 The tragic attempt was witnessed by Thomas Williams, watchman at the west end of the bridge. who knew Mir. Upson by sight, and who was the means of saving his life, at least for a time.
 MT. Upson was crossing the bridge toward the university, carrying a small grip, which contained his papers ard books. He appeared to be in gool spirits and walked rapidly against the strong wind.
 Williams watched him closely out of curiosity until he was directly over the channel leading into the electric power-house. Suddenly the young man dropped his grip and, turning quickly, vaulted the high rail and dis appeared below

At first they paid no heed to his calling. and the current was rapidly carrying Mir. Upson toward the trap gates. where there is strong under current

 an, Story Teller.

an, g Story Teller.
 The earliest date at which Mother Goose, says the Dial, appears as the author of children's stories is 1897, when Charles Perrault a distinguished French litterateur, published in Paris a little book of tales which he had during that and the preceding year contributed to magazine known as the Recueil, printed at The Hague. This book has frontspiece in which is pictured an old woman telling sto- ries to family group by the fire side, while in the background are the words in large characters, "Gontes de ma Mere lOye" C.Tales of My Mother Goose'D These tales were eight in number, consisting of the following: Little Red Riding Hood.' 'The Sis ters Who Dropped From Their Mouths Diamonds and Toads,' "Bluebeard," 1.-The Sleeping Beauty" Fuss In Boots," Cinderella" "Riquet With the 1uft' and "Tom Thumb" or Little Thumb" Petit PouceD, as he is here called. "RiQuet With the Tuft' is the only one of the collection which seems not to have maintained it's popularity in English and American collections.
 It is thus clear that Mother Goose was of French extraction and of at least respectable antiquity. But thus far nothing has been heard of her Melodies" She began her existence as the raconteur of fairy tales, not as the nursery poetess.

Sleeper. That Slip and Sleep.

Here is string of sentences which may be used as stimulating mental gymnastics when we leave the "Land of Nod" A sleeper runs on sleepers, and in this sleeper on sleepers sleepers sleep. As this sleeper carries its sleep CTS over the sleepers that are under the sleeper, a slack sleeper slips. This jars the sleeper and it's sleepers, so that they slip and no longer sleep.

The Lions Mouth.

The use of the lions mouth as the vent of q fountain is quite common. so much so that it cannot possibly be con sidered accidental. As matter of fact the custom came to us from the Egyp- tians, who adopted it because the an- nual inundation of the Nile takes place when the sun is in the constellation Leo, the lion. The allusion is too ob- vious to need pointing out.

Did you ever see two headed cat, With five legs that are black and blue, And horns like cow and elephants ears And neck like mutton stew? Did you ever see mouse with wings, Its tail like kangaroo, It's nose like couple of scrambled eggs? I often have-haven't you? Just He on the floor near Persian rug, And the figures that stare at you Are the strangest animals ever seen Either in or out of the zoo.

While the damp cold, changing weather of Winter 1ntenslhes the pains and other disagreeabe symptoms of Rheumatism 1t is by no means d winter disease exclusively. Through the long months of Summer its wandering pains and twich- Ing nerves are felt by those ill whose blood the uric ac1d, which produces the disease, has accumulated.
 Rheumatism Is a disease that involves the en- tire system. It's primary results from the failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the urea or natural refuse matter. This coming ill contact With tue different acids of the body forms uric ac1d which IS taken up and absorbed by the blood This acid causes fermentation of the blood making 1t sour and unfit for properly nourishinp the body, and as this vital stream goes to every nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrb- uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes e- Ve11sh and swollen, the stomach and digestion are affected, the appetite fails and general diseased condition of the entire system Is the result
 Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases, with it's swollen stiff joints, trobbing muscles and singing nerves but 1t Is formidable and dangerous trouble.

Snrin~ IN the Ranch.

IAs a note of variety in the chorus of
magazine spring songs we print these
stanzas by Mora O'Ncill in Mcclure
Magazine, says the New York Post.
They are called ION the Ranch."l
There was a sound of whistling wings
over the house last night,
And the wild duck dropped in the creek
below. resting upon his flight;
Now the mallard with his emerald neck
is swimming round in the light.
A warm wind from the mountains came
pouring like q tide;
The strong chinook has broken the heart
of winters icy pride,
And the snow has all gone up like smoke
from prairie sunny and wide.
Here are gray buds of the crocus. but
shut and silvery dim;
Along the creek there are mouse ears on
the willows red and slim:
A blue tit feeds there upside down IN the
manner approved by him.
Hill SHOWS melt and rush in streams bub-
bling and dark as wine:
Cattle are drifting out of the hills-well
do we know that signi-
And soft clouds blowing across the blue
have a beauty half divine.
New grass and sweet will soon be here
and the patient herd grow strong:
They will forget the cruel frost and all
the winters wrong.
None can be glad as we are glad unless
he has waited as long.

I'm the past three years total OF
100 flights have been made with our
motor driven fiiers and total distance
of almost exactly 160 miles covered,
an average of a mile to each fight, but
until the machine had received its final
improvements the flights were mostly
short, as is evidenced by the fact that
the flight of Oct was longer than the
105 flights of the year 1904 together
The lengths of the flights We're
measured by Richard thermometer,
which was attached to the machine.
The records were found to agree close
ly with the distances measured over
the ground when the flights We're made
in calm air over a straight course, but
when the flights We're made i'll circles
