DOES 1T RAIN ON THE FOURTH?
Uncertainty on This Point Has Given
Rise to Two Schools of Thought

The afternoon of Fourth of July has
a strong tendency to be poky To avert
this catastrophe many devices have
been introduced One of them is to
have picnic. Now, there are two OPP
posing and mutually exclusive schools
of thought in re the Fourth OF July pic
mic. The one school holds that it al
ways rains on that afternoon; the 9TH
Ell denies that proposition, and main
tains that those who so vivily recall
standing under a tree-a tree as a
shelter when il rains pitchforls and
feather beds is the rankest kind of a
swndle, and something ought to be
done about it-standing under leaky
tree and watching the little men"
jumping in the lemonade tub while
the tablecloths soak into sodden rags,
and the layer cake pitifully dissoves,
are really thinking OF the annual Sab
bath school picnic, when. OF course, it
rains.

Reading In Bed.

"Boys and girls under eighteen
should be strictly forbidden to read in
bed" says the Lancet, on the author
ity of DR.. Hugo Feilchenfeld of Ber-
lin, who declares that in the case OF
young persons whose eyes are not
fully developed the practice is likely
to induce myopia. While young peo-
pie run the greatest risk. the Lance:
thinks that reading in bed is unde-
sirable for persons Of any age and
states that lin the case of aged, anx-
ious, worried and bedridden people. to
whom it would seem cruelty to deny
what may perhaps be almost their
only luxury, for fear Of inducing some
slight error of refraction, care should
be taken that the light Is sufficiently
brilliant, the eyes being shaded from
1t, and that the patient lies on his
back with head and shoulders raised"

Hairs and Feathers,

Hairs are found on almost every
thing that grows, and, if we may SO
call the fine fibers of asbestus, they
even invade the mineral world. From
a piece Of mineral asbestus quarried
from the earth and looking like stone
with satiny fracture the silken fbers
can be rubbed with the finger till the
lump is worn away.
Secure a feather somewhere-it will
be much better than a picture-and
you will see that it has a main stem
or midrib. Along each side of this ex-
tends the thin part known as the vane.
Look closely and you will see that this
vane is composed of tiny feathers, call
ed boards, fastened together through
out their whole length from where
their bases join the midrib to their
tips. You can easily separate one of
these from the rest, when you will see
how like tiny feather it is, with what
seems a fine fuZZiness along each edge.

A Scene Not In a Play.

An extraordinary scene took place in
the Princess theater, London, on the
night of the first production of Charles
Reade's great play, Never Too Late
to Mend" Oct. 4, 1865. During the
prison scene large quantity Of water
was thrown over Miss Moore, who took
the part of Josephs, the character done
to death by the warders. One Of the
critics, Mr. Tomlin Of the Morning Ad-
vertiser, rose from his seat and pub
licly protested against the unnecessary
cruelty. This aroused almost riot
among the audience, and the action of
the play was stopped for some con-
siderable time. Fuel was added to the
fire by George Vining, the lessee Of the
theater, who was playing the part OF
Tom Robinson and who made most
imprudent speech, in which he prac-
tically insulted every critic present
with the result that the theater was
left severely alone by the press foI
many months. The play, however
turned out to be popular success
and had, for those days, the phenom-
email run of 40 performances.

Followed Suit.

On the day of the admission of M.
Rostand to the French academy the
author Of "Cyrano' and "L'Aiglon"
gave breakfast to a few Of his
friends, the guest Of honor being Nine.
Bernhardt. The actress was dressed in
handsome gown, which had been
made expressly for the occasion. At
the end of the breakfast she arose and
In an impressive manner took a glass,
held it high and said, 81 drink to the
greatest of French dramatists, M. Ro-
stand, and I drink after the Greek
Manner She then poured the con-
tents of her glass over her head and
gown.
Two of Rostand's small sons were
sitting at a side table wearing new
velvet suits, also made for the occa-
sion. In the silence which followed
Bernhard's dramatic tribute the elder
of the boys arose and, initiating hel
manner, said, II drink to the greatest
of poets, my papa, and I also drink in
the Greek fashion, and straightway
deluged himself and his small brother
with the contents of his glass.

Foxes Scalps and Salvation.

Some years ago at a session Of the
legislature Of Kentucky an effort to
repeal the law offering bounty on
foxes scalps was made, but was de-
feated by the appeal of a member
from a mountainous and sparsely set
tied region. do the gentlemen want
to deprive my constituents and me OF
the benefits of hearing the gospel
preached?" he demanded, with indig-
nation in his tone and overspreading
his rugged countenance. 1--WE are all
Methodists up my way, and our
preachers won't come without we can
give 'em chickens, / know. We can't
raise chickens unless the foxes are
killed by somebody, that's sure, and
there amt anybody that can afford to
spend their time hunting foxes and get
nothing to pay for it. So, gentlemen,
If you repeal this law you'll be de-
priving my constituents Of the benefit
of hearing the gospel preached; that's
the way it looks to me!' The law
was not repealed at that session.-Ar-
gonaut.

Some time since, In fremont street

Frenchman brushed against a pretty
trifle of vase ware valued at about
$14 and succeeded in getting several
score more pieces out OF it than had
gone into its making. Tie fioorwalker
led the abashed Partisan aside and
politely explained that the broken vase
must be paid for Monsieur fetched a
handful Of small silver and copper,
mostly foreign, from his pocket when

book and discovered a fifty dollar ex-
press draft, which the foorwalker in
stantly seized upon, to the unspeak-
able horror Of its owner.
After deducting the value of the
vase the former handed the man his
change and dismissed him with floor

reached the bank in due time, with
four others as fraudulent, but the vol

NOW IS BEST
TIME TO TAKE
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet
Remarkable Home Mixture.

A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the following valuable
though simple and harmless pre-
scription, which any one can easily
prepare at. home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounces
Compound Syrup SarsaparilIa, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle,
and takeIa teaspoonful after each
meal and at..bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy ate small cost, and.
being Of vegetable extraction, are
harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken
regularly for few days, is said to
overcome almost any case of Rheu-
matism. The pain and swelling, if
any, diminishes with each dose until
permanent results are obtained, and
without .injuring the stomach. While
there are many so-called Rheuma-
tism remedies, patent medicines,
etc., some Of which do give relief.
few really give permanent results,
and the above will. no doubt, be
greatly appreciated by many suffer-
ers here at this time.

lOWu OIL OVdIQe With 1eXdu Ifl6uO,
Mr.. John Moore. My trip being very
hurried, had but couple of days to
devote to hunting.
Our first halting-place was at a
ranch on the Frio: a low. wooden
building, Of many rooms, with open
galleries between them. and verandas
round about The country was In
some respects like, in others strange
ly unlike, the northern plains with
which l was so well acquainted 1t
scattered growth of tough, stunted
mesquite trees, not dense enough to
be called a forest, and yet sufficiently
close to cut off the view. 1t was very
dry, even as compared with the north
ern plains. The bed of the Frio was
filled with coarse gravel. and for the
most part dry as a bone on the sur
face, the water seeping through un-
derneath, and only appearing in occa-
sionai deep holes. These deep holes or
ponds never fail, even after a years
drouth; they were filed with fish. One
lay quite near the ranch house. under
bold rocky bluff; at it's edge grew
giant cypress trees.
There had been many peccaries. or,
as the Mexicans and cowpunchers of
the border usually call them, javalinas,

ever. 1t was suddenly discovered that
their hides had market value, being
worth four bits-that is, half a dollar
apiece; and many Mexicans and not
few shiftless Texans went into the
business of hunting them as a means
Of livelihood. They were more easily
killed than deer, and, as result. they
were speedily exterminated in many
localities where they had formerly
been numerous, and even where they
were left were to be found only In
greatly diminished numbers. On this
particular Frio ranch the last little
band had been killed nearly year be-
fore. There were three of them. a
