Prompt Action.

Martin s. Decker of New Paltz is one
of the public utilities commissioners of
New York, a body of men with sweep,
ing jurisdiction over the street and
steam railways and the gas and electric
companies of the state.
Mr. Decker, discussing the duties of
his new post the other day. said:
Ours is work that must be done with
the utmost prudence and care. Nothing
must be undertaken by us hastily, or else
we shall find ourselves in the position OF
the new school superintendent.
There was, you know, new superin-
tendent appointed to Il certain school
IL Jealous man, but choleric and hasty
one rs well.
Now it happened that ON the day OF
his arrival at the school, willie he was
working hard III his office. maddening
noise arose in the room next TO him.
The superintendent stood this noise as
long as he could. Then he looked over
the glass partition into the uproarious
room and saw among the noisy lads as
sembled there q tallish chap who seemed
to be making more of a row than all the
rest combined.
Beside himself with rage, the super
intendent reached out his arm, seized the
tall boy by the collar. dragged him oven
the partition and banged him down into
IA chair beside his desk.
Now he said. sit there. and don't
open your lips till give you the word
Then he bent over his papers, and III
the ensuing quietude worked away
busily.
Some fifteen minutes passed Then
the head of small boy peered timidly
over the partition, and a meek little
voice said:
Please. sir. you've got our teacher.

EXERCISE ENSURES COOP HEALTH.
Every Organ Feels the Tingle of New
Energy and Power

Few habits are so pernicious as tbe
one of drlnsA Z ice water. The cold fluid
taken into the stomach retards digestion
and hinders for time at least, vari-
GUS functions OF the body. Since active
digestion and elimination are so essential
to health at all times, and particularly in
summer, it will be seen that iced drinks
are dangerous
The best safeguards of the health of
children are a suitable regimen. clean
liness. fresh aid, pure water and a due
allowance of refreshing sleep 70 the
child thus armed disease is not fire.
quent visitor. That prevention is better
than cure in any ease goes without say
ing The old idea that ills must come
has been evolved into the doctrine that
sufficient knowledge and care will pre-
vent almost any evil, and this is no less
true Of disease than of other things
Exercise awakens all the bodily activi-
ties. Every organ feels the Jingle of
new energy and power. The stagnating
fluids which fill the sweat duets are
forced onward and the skin perspires
A cold or cool bath only cleanses the
outside of the skin. Sweating by exer-
else cleanses the skin to its depths A
hot baths causes sweating and is good
for the skin. but does not supply as does
exercise the oxygen required to burn up
the impurities of blood and skin needful
for body health.
Fhe food that best feeds our nervous
system is the best for those whose nerves
are the weakest part of them. and for
all of us when we are overstrung or
worried. Fish strengthens and feeds
this part of us better than meats or
bread foods. 1t does not "fll' up so
soidly as meats ut the time; we don't
feel so much IN need of lazy time after
a fish meal as after meat meal Of equal
quantity. and therefore we fancy that
the fish has not been so feeding" That
is a mistake We should choose fish or
meaI according to the chief needs of our
system just then; fish. if our nerves are
hungry, flesh if we only want common

Civil Trials for French Soldiers.

There is now pending in the French
Chamber Of Deputies a bill abolishing
courts martial in time of peace and pro-
viding that French soldiers aud sailors
accused of offenses shall be tried by
civil tribunals like other citizens. The
bin also stipulates that in no case shall
a soldier or sailor be punished more than
five years for breaches of discipline. An
officer who maltreats a subordinate is
to suffer the same punishment as the
soldier who offers violence to superior.
There is TO be no death penalty in future
for treason, desertion or other military
crimes. There are to be no soldiers of
the second class aud no penal companies

But when the floating" season arrives

Gigging fish ut night is an entirely
different matter from doing so i'll day

water and are hunted with big loren

water and have to be gigged by letting
a boat float slowly over TO get within
reach.
1t takes an expert with a gig to kill
fish at night The flare from the torches
and the water make a deceptive perspec-
tive and no man who has not had ex-
perience can hit fish with a gig once
in twenty times. A slender, strong
wooden shaft about eight feet long and
one inch in diameter, tipped with barbed
steel point, is the favorite gig among
the Indians. IL the deep water gigging
the length of the shaft is twelve or four

THE WHITE BELL MARE.

fSuceested hy a picture by Frederic Rem

Across the plains see them sweep,
Against the ebbing light
The place they keep they still will keep
At silent noon of night:
4 fleet GOT rules the caravan,
And sets the pace for beast and man!
The beIl-mare takes the dusty road,
No rowel pricks her side;
She knows no rein. she owns no goad,
Save IN her mettled pride.
The steeds that follow need no Scourge,
"a well they feel her yanward urge!
For her. Is neither lash nor check;
She keeps the pace she Will
A single bell about her neck
sounds sweet. when all is still
when all Is still and night IS deep,
And they that ride ride half asleep
She sets the pace-the leader fleet,
The rest--they but pursue.
They have their fate from her swift feet.
Yet fate 0errules her, too;
For It's the pace--the paee--fhe pace
Controls her fIeet and snowy grace!
They vanish on the gllmmery plain,
Beneath the western verge.
And all our life is like that train,
That heeds a vanward urge:
We deem we travel as we will
But tits the pace controls US stiil
