q POETIC DESCRIPTION

Capt. j. Nj. Mccain, famous sheep
raiser and breeder of West Virginia,
wrote, after a trip through North
Central Wisconsin: ''If you mean a
land where trout streams murmur
and broad rivers CLEAN through
walls of cedar, and the gold of but
tercups is mingled with the white
bloom of the clover, then have seen
the fair land of which you dream,
a country gently undulating like the
pillows OF the sea, fruitful and rich in
all the grasses that shepard loves,
free from harmful parasites; a soil
composed OF sand and clay, red with
iron and grey with lime, fertile as the
valley of the Nile and beautiful as
the garden of the gods; a climate
healthful alike for the shepard and
his flock; land which has been COW
cred with the waters OF the lakes. in
the time long ago, and swept by the
forest fires, in the ashes of which
rape, roots and all the grasses grow
now the blue grass covers the ground
like carpet and the bloom Of the
clover CLEANS in the valley like the
fall of snow and where saw you,
in wild and rich luxuriance, and where
sir, this land of beauty and wonders?
High up in Wisconsin, in the old
land of the Chippewas, where the
Flambeau river flows, like n ribbon
of silver, through land that God
has made for the shepard and his
flock"

AN INN oVATlON

State Game Warden Stone recently
sent circular letter to all his depu-
ties giving them to understand very
plainly that they We're expected to
devote their time to the enforcement
OF tile game laws rather than mixing
in the political game. Those know
ing COB best wonder how he will
relish his own medicine.
However as a matter Of Iact at the
present time a game warden is a
candidate for sheriff Of st. CrOix Co.,
another is after the same office in
Rusk Co., d third wants TO be sheriff
Of Price Co., and fourth game war
den is doing his best to be nominated
as sheriff OF kenosnit Co. And DUR
,ng this tinIe these men are drawing
their salaries from the state as game
Wartlens. At least copies OF the
vouchers for their July salaries are
going the rounds. Do the deputies

Pianos at a Discount of 20 to 40
Per Gent.
Yours truly,
A Subscriber. -

TGF NGnEs
When Lyon & Healy of Chicago
bought for cash the entire retail
stocks of three leading Chicago piano
houses, viz: The Thompson Music
Co., the Healy Music Co. and the F.
of the United States wondered what
Lyon & Healy could do with such a
vast collection of fine Instruments in
addition to their own big stock, ior
these are no cheap factory pianos,
but pianos of makes of the highest
reputation.
What Lyon & Healy has done is to
mark all these pianos, and there are
hndreds of them, at a discount of 20
to 40 per cent. The response upon
the part OF the public is marvellous.
If you know the names of good
standard makes OF pianos and the
prices always paid, you will need no
second invitation to write to Lyon
& Healy, II Adams street, Chicago,
for lists and terms. For you can Sc
cure a genuine $500 upright for $3.50,
Or other bargains in proportion.
Lyon & Healy give their own guar
antee with every one of these pianos
no matter whether it is from the
Thompson, or the Healy, or the
Thearle stock. Nothing like this OPP
portunity has ever been given to mu-
sic teachers, students and music low
ers heretofore.

SEALS ON ANCIENT RINGS.
Sacred Beetle Figured Prominently
Busts of Isis or the Pharaohs.


Busts of Isis or the Pharaohs.
Among the rings found in ancient
Egyptian tombs are many which cru
iite archaeologists ascribe to period
slightly anterior to the deluge.
This, however, is debatable ground
the deceptive morass of conjecture
rather than the solid earth of fact.
But we feel the latter beneath our feet
when viewing the massive gold Egyp-
tan signet rings with revolving cylin'
drical bezels Of indigo colored porce-
lain or the deep blue porcelain rings
bearing bust Of Isis or Of one OF the
Pharaohs in full relief. The former
represent the primitive seals in use
when the Israelites we're bondmen and
before the pyramids were built; the
latter were the common adornments
Of the prototypes of the modern fella-
heen when Solomon was in his glory.
In neither case is the workmanship
meritorious, the "'prentice hand be-
ing plainly visible; skill in design and
execution was acquired later, and
among the Eturscans attained a de-
gree of excellence never since equsled.
Such of their work as remains is a
silent yet eloquent testimony to their
marvellous skill, but the secvret that
enabled them to manipulate gold
fine drawn as hair is one of the lost
arts of the ancients.
In the Etruscan as in the Egyptian
rings the device of the scarabaeus or
sacred beetle figures prominently, for
to both these remarkable races this
curious insect was an object OF pro
found veneration and as sacred and
symbolic in their eyes as the cross Is
to the Christian.

Has Found Rivers Sources.

DR.. Sven Hedin, the Swedish eXplor-
err, states that he has discovered the
true sources of the Brahmaputra and
Indus. The Brahmaputra, he says is
the Kubitsampso, which rises from
an enormous glacier on the northern
side of the northernmost parallel
range Of the Himalayas. The Mari
umshu, which has hitherto been re-
garded as the source, is merely a
small tributary flowing in from the
west

GOOD ADVICE FOR HUSBANDS.
Written Long Ago, But In Every Way
Applicable To-Day.

A clergyman took down a small
volume.
This is called" he said, 'the In
structions OF Ptah-ho-Tep.' 1t is one of
the very oldest papyrus writings
known. It gives, among other things,
advice to husbands, and that advice is
as good to-day as it ever was. Listen"
And he read:
IF thou be wise, furnish thy house
well.
Woo thy wife ever. and never
quarrel with her.
sNourish her daintily.
Deck her out, for fine dress is her
greatest delight.
Feed her upon sweets.
Perfume her.
Make her glad with praise.
.Adorn her with jewels, feathers,
and the skins of beasts, as sumptuous-
ly as thy purse will suffer-"

with winning smile:
"Of course / will dance with you,

knowladae Of Reality.

Nothing Is SO valuable as knoWl-
edge of reality. No other knowledge
is permanently valuable without it.
The extent to which the human mind
is capable of deceiving itself with
knowledge of phenomena, the better
to avoid the temporary discomfort of
recognizing the vital truths Of prog
ress, is only less remarkable than the
extent of the power it is capable OF
exerting when once inspired by the
consciousness that it has become the
vehicle of some truth necessary for
the worlds advancement. William

Queer Effect Of Extreme Cold.

Some idea Of the effect Of extreme
cold can be gained from the account
given by DR.. Kane of an incident
which occurred when an expedition
went north in search of Franklin. The
crew organized some amateur the
atricals, says DR.. Kane, and the CON
densation was SO excessive that Eve
could barely see the performers; any
extra vehemence of delivery was ac-
companied by volumes Of smoke;
their hands steamed. When an excited
performer took off his coat he
steamed like dish of potatoes"

Women GROWING Younger.

No women need now regard herself
as passee at So Ripened charms
should be at their meridian. Society,
SO far from relegating her to the back
ground, ignores the fight of years in a
belle of past conquests. In the words
of a competent London observer,
there has been a complete disappear
ance of the middle-aged woman. The
social world seems now to be made up
of girls, young married woman and
old ladies' who are great-grandmoth-
ers. Every one has bright eyes, a
flower face and a slender form, and
every one is dressed to perfection, the
same style suiting equally well the
girl of 1S and her mother"

How sawfish Uses It's saw.

More energetic than any other
sharks are the sawfish, whose shouts
are prolonged into a broad blade of
cartilage, which is horizontal when the
fish is swimming in a normal posi-
tion and has both its edges set with
slightly curved teeth about an inch
apart. The end of this formidable
looking weapon is blunt and compare
lively soft, so that it is quite incapa-
BILE of the feats popularly attributed to
it of piercing whales bodies, ships

a swift lateral thrust Of the saw be-
meath them. Then it feeds upon the
soft entrails,w which are apparently the
only food it can eat from the peculiar
shape of its mouth. It has an enor-
nous number of small teeth, some
times as many as 80 rows in one indi-
vidual, but they are evidently unfit
for the rough duties required Of their
teeth by the garbage-eating members
