THE SONG OF THE LIGHT.

In summer time, some hot night,
Risin' Sun will sport 'lectric light;
The folks around for miles about,
Will see the juice runnin' out
OF George McKinsey's mill.
The Risin' Sun. 'lectric wired,
You bet, will be DRAWN card;
For moon beams. lghtnin and some bugs
And kicks where about the holes are dug
Hot air fit to kill.
The bugs will filter round the lamp,
Hung on poles in ground SO damp:
Big bugs will loiter round the pole,
Helping to steady it in the hole
An keep it standin' still.
The women upon each cloudy night,
Will look at men in another light;
If tits old why the 'lectric spark,
Was used by Noah in the ark
Pride doth our bosoms fill.
Way in the sky it does reflect,
1t beats the risin sun specks,
It's something we'll hold on to,
When we're on a jam-bo-roo,
Wen not go home till
CHORUS.
Wall till the train comes from Oxford,
Wait for the pint and the quart;
The lightnin' bug juice will flow inward,
Wen raise thunder from sylmar to Port.

Be careful gents what you will do
Or will swipe few of you;
Before the band comes out tonight,
An blows so hard, out goes the lights.
Your noise our town doth well thrill.
care not, to get you in hole,
But pray, move way from that ere pole;
For pity, my heart doth throb.
But boys, cannot lose my job,
You are bitter pill.
CHORUS (of merchants)
II the band must come out an blow,
Let them come inside with dough;
An blow in their cash for all they're worth,
For good old products of the earth.
Wen serve you with will.
CHORUS tof young folks).
We need the band to cut caper,
When we hold dance ON Scott's skyscraper,
An gaze far away to the ground below,
Where shadows lurk in the fiery glow.
Stretching to yonder hill.
An way in the clouds of dizzy height,
Way in vast expanse of night;
We dance to music by cornet band,
1t echoes sweet DER sea an land,
The blowers fill the bill.
The town below, OF pop and soda's,
Is way beneath our very notice;
The folks nothing Unusually are sound asleep,
Their snoring ascends in bounds an leaps
Our cup ofjoy 1t spills.
When we think of those who soundly snooze,
That some are loaded down with booze
That those that hang around the pole,
Will never reach the desired goal,
Our hearts, they get chill.
But of course, we folks have all the chance,
Even if we do play cards and dance;
Our life by twinkling stars are bounded,
We're up in the air and all high minded,
Our names inscribed with golden gull
CHORUS.
But we win be so happy when we get Lit.
Like fire flies, around we will fit;
While now we futter round in the dark,
Under 'lectric light we will shortly spark,
An show our angelic gills.

Avoid Monotony.

Let all those who wish to be con-
sidered good cooks avoid monotony
above all things. It Is quite possible
to starve in the midst of plenty, that
is to say, we may eat, day after day,
of a substance which is very nourisn-
ing in itself, and yet derive no bene-
fit from 1t.
Strive, then, to have variety, and
strive to have each dish as tasty
as possible.
Eggs for instance al be cooked
in a great many ways, and yet some
peoples sole idea of cooking eggs is
to boil them, or fry them, until they
are leathery and indigestible.
1t is not merely to pamper the ap-
petite that I would urge you to make
everything as tasty as possible.
Taste, and a variety of tastes, are
necessary to the digestion Gs we'll as
the enjoyment of food.
It has been satisfactorily proved
by scientific experiment that no man
car be properly nourished on taste
less food. The taste and smell of
food cause the digestive Juices to
flow more abundantly. - New York

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of a great Western
State puts the case regarding stimu-
lants with a comprehensive brevity
tnat Is admirable. He says:
II am Sc years old and have had
considerable experience with stimu-
Iants. They are all alike-a mortgage
on reserved energy at ruinous inter-
est. AS the whip stimulates but does
not strengthen the horse, so do slim
ulants act upon the human system.
reeIng this way, I gave up coffee
ana all other stimulsnts and began
me use OF Postum Food coffee some
months ago. The beneficial results
nave been apparent from the first.
Inc rheumatism that / used to-suTer
from has left me, I sleep sonnder,

INDEBTEDNESS OF CITIES.
In Excess of That of National and
cGG Naox N~o~aAfna4

In Excess of That Of National and
State Governments Combined.
The report of Director North of the
Census Bureau in regard to the 1Dan-
ces of cities of 5000 inhabitants and
owe says:
1.-THE Importance of municipal stat
istics may be noted from the follow
ing facts: The Indebtedness, less
sinking fund assets, Of the 148 cities
containing over 10000 inhabitants in
1903 was S1,106, S21,G51 and of the Isl
cities in 1904 was $1,222S, PIGS The
Indebtedness of the cities OF the lat
ter group Increased during the year
1904 by $11O, O8S, 1877. The indebted
ness of cities containing 5000 to S0,-
900 inhabitants in 1903 was S173,71S,-
313, and the last statistics compiled
recorded an annual increase Of $780,
O98,9G2. The aggregate for the two
classes of cities in 1903 was $780,
539,964. The foregoing, combined
with other facts relating to the in
crease of municipal debt, makes it
certain that the present debt of cities
Ct the United States containing over
5000 inhabitants is in excess of ST.
600, @ ,0G0, or greater than that Of
the combined debt of the national and
State governments and Of the coun-
ties, school districts and other minor
civil divisions.
The payments and receipts OF
those Cities having q population of
5000 and over were greater than
those of the United States Govern
nent in 1902, but somewhat less than
those of that government in its
last fiscal year. They also exceed
the payments and receipts of all State
and local governments.
I'm 1900, SO pei cent. of the peo-
pie of the United States resided in
Cities having u population Of 5000
and over, and in a few decades over
one-half OF the people will reside in
those cities. The problem of self
government is therefore becoming one
of city government, and no class of
statistics Is of such vital Importance
as that relating TO cities, and especial
ly to cities containing owe $4,000 IN
Aabitauts."

by Three-Boxes of Cuticura.
when l was about nine years old small
sores appeared on each of my lower limbs.
1 scratched them with a brass pin, and
shortly afterwards both of those limbs be-
came so sore that 1 could scarcely walk.
When l had been suffering for about a
month the sores. began to heal, but small,
scaly eruptions appeared where the sores
had been. From that time onward / was
troubled by such severe itching that, until
1 became accustomed to it, I would scratch
the sores until the blood began to flow.
This would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear again
and the itching would accompany them.
After 1 suffered abort ten years l made a
renewed effort to effect a cure. The erup-
lions by this time had appeared on every
part of my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor in my native
county advised me, to-us arsenic in small
uoses and a salve. / then used to battle
the sores in a mixture which gave almost
intelerable pain. In addition l used othc:
remedies, suca as iodine, sulphur, zinc

edy a fair trial, never using less than one
or two boxes or bottles. All this was
fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall

A few months after; having used almost
everything else, 1 thought 1 would try
C~uticura Ointment, having previously used

cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and IN c6pen-

Pasteboard SQUARES.

To prevent the marring of mantels,
furniture and window stills by flower
or pots, place beneath them lit
tie squares of oiled pasteboard cut
from cracker or cake boxes now so
common on the market. A supply
of these squares can be cut in a few
moments, and, if kept in a handy
place, their use will soon become a
habit, saving furniture and wood,
