An Animal Born Only to Die.

The instances Of natural death in
the animal world are conspicuous in
comparison with those in the vege-
table world Tor their greater vari-
ETY. and complcxity. There seems
no doubt that this manner OF death
established itself Independently in
the different groups of animals.
Years ago an American naturalist,
Dana, discovered on the surface OF
the sea a little animal Of so sin.
gular u character that he named il
"monstrilla." IL is small crusta-
cean akin TO the cyclops 50 common
in ponds. But, while the latter are
furnished with all that is necessary
to capture and digest their food, the
monstrilla has neither apparatus for
seizing prey nor digestive tube. Ii
is richly provided with muscles,
nervous system, organs Of sense aud
sexual organs, II only lacks what
IL necessary TO prolong life by ali.
The monstrilla is doom
ed therefore TO natural dcath.-Pro-
lessor Ellie Metchnikoir in Harper's.

JAPANESE POETRY.
Writing Verse 10 Part OF the Polite
Life Of the Nation.


Life Of the Nation.
There are no long poems in jap
anese," says writer "a long poem
Ia unthinkable to the people of ia
pan. They have what sometimes
pass for long excursions in verse,
but these are really nothing more
than short poems strung together,
lacking all unity save that Of sub
ject. The favorite forms are the
hokku, consisting of three lines, the
first having five, the second having
seven and the third having five syl-
tables, seventeen in all the tanka,
consisting of five lines Of five, sew
en-, five, seven and seven syllables,
thirty-one in all, and the dodoitsu,
consisting Of four lines Of sew
en-, seven, seven and five sylla-
bles, or twenty-six in all. The
tanka is the classical form, af-
fected by the standard poets Of the
country, while the other forms are
used by every japanese who writes
at all and by many who cannot.
The hokku is the greatest favorite.
"The hokku is composed inn
promptu upon every occasion, the
writer putting into verse the
thought appropriate to the moment,
the incident or the associations sug-
gested, much as the Greeks wrote
their epigrams before the epigram
became little satiric sting. TIok- |
kus are inspired by grave moments |
as well as by the gay ones. An old |
statesman on his deathbcd sees a
dead leaf whirled past his window,
and IL suggests his own faring forth
on the wings of eternity, and he
writes, "A leaf whirls down--a leaf
whirls down in the wind Nothing
more, but the simple repetition
pours out volumes with beauty and
power.
"These little poems are so much
a part Of Japanese life that every
person writes them, and
all who go to view the flowers, the
blossoming Of the cherry trees or
The rcddening naples in Uyeno or
'ther parks, write some pretty con-
'eit in a hokku and hang il upon
he chrysanthemum or lotus stalks ,
,r on the trees. The hokku may,
therefore,, be justly called the song
II Japan, as we say u certain ecstasy |
n a few notes Is the song Of the a
hrnah."

Transactions make a satisfactory eX'

Some shading in quotations of iron for
future delivery is reported and copper is
easier without bringing out important

Distribution of the necessares and
heavy materials is seen to be remarkably
active and freight earnings of the Chi
cago roads surpass the high records made
a year ago. Large numbers of interior
buyers crowd the wholesale market for
staple wares and the general buying
makes substantial gain in dry goods, cloth

The history OF many race may be
read in it's battle cry. The "Banzai !"
of the japanese. the "Faghaghballah |"
OF the Irish, and our own 'Ilurrah !"
have found their origin far back in
history.
Although many authorities have de-
clared that the word "hurrah' is de-
yelopment of the Jewish "Hosannah,"
the consensus of opinion now is that it
is a corruption Of the ancient battle
cry of the wild Norsemen, "Tur aie"
meaning, "Thor aid u.s." Formerly the
word was spelled "IIuZza' and pro-
nounced Murray In one form or
another it is used by almost every
nation.

was in the city Saturday and he in
formed US that the sour dock which
has given our farmers so much trouble
for few years past is infected with
small white wire worm, which appears
to enter the crown of the plant and
works its way down eating out the
pulp and leaving only the outer part
of root and which, of course, will
eventually destroy the plant. lie says
vast amount of the plants on his
ranch are dead and he made close
examination and finds that they are
full OF worms, and he is confident that
il is the worms that are doing the good
work. He has promised to bring in
few specimens of plant to be left at The
Dawn Office for exhibition.

MIX THIS AT HOME.

The following simple home made
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of rheumatism by
forcing the kindeys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid and
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms AS backache, weak
kidneys and bladder and blood difeases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to
make, and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract daudelion, one half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparila, three ounces
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal and
again at bedtime.
The mixture IS said to give prompt
relief, and there are very few cases of
rheumatism and kidney trouble it will
fail to cure permanently.
These are all harmless, every dav
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
if not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug house for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are afflicted.
