OUR Fathers God, from out whose
" hand
Tho centuries fall like grains Of sand,
We meet today, united. free.
And loyal to our land and thee.
To thank thee for the era done
And trust thee for the opening one.
HERE, where Of old, by thy design,
IL The fathers spake that word of
thine
Whose echo is the glad refrain
or rended bolt and falling chain,
To grace our festal time, from all
The zones OF earth our guests we call
DE with us while the new world greets
ID The old world thronging all Its
streets,
Unwilling all the triumphs won
BY art or toll beneath the sun,
And unto common good ordain
This rivalship of hand and brain.
vlffIOU who hast here in concord furled
= The war fiag5 Of a gathered world,
Beneath our western skies fulfill
The oriont's mission of good will
And freighted with loves golden fleece,
Send back It's argonauts OF peace.
NOR art and labor met in truce,
Il For beauty made the bride of use,
We thank thee; but, withal, we crave,
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof TO place or gold,
The manhood never bought nor sold.
On. make thou us through centuries
Wong
In peace secure, in justice strong;
Around our gift Of freedom draw
The safeguards Of thy righteous law,
And. cast in some diviner mold,
Let the new cycle shame the old.

WHEN THE ICE BROKE.
Description Of an Old Time Spectaele
on the Hudson River.

Description of an Old Time Spectacle
on the Hudson River.
The breaking of the ice on the
Hudson river is described in "Mem-
oirs of an American Lady" as a
Sublime spectacle" A hundred
and fifty years ago the whole popu-
lation of Albany deemed it sight
well worth some effort to see. The
first noise of the breaking ice, like
long, loud peal of thunder, sent
every one hurrying to the riverside,
and if it happened to be an early
morning hour there was a gro
tesque assemblage.
No one who had a nightcap on
waited to put it off. As for waiting
for ones cloak, it was a thing out
of the. question. You caught the
thing next to you that you could
wrap around you and ran. On the
wav YOU saw every door left open
and pals and baskets without num-
Der set down in the street. People
never dreamed of being obeyed by
their slaves until the ice was past.
The houses were left quite emp
ty. The meanest slave, the young
,est child, were to be found on the
Ihcre.
When arrived at the show place
the multitude, with their eyes all
bent one way, stood immovable and
silent as death until the tumult
ceased and the mighty connection
ended. Then every one tylea<to
give vent 60 a &c vast conceptions
Inch bis mind had been dis
tended
The swelling of the waters under
the ice, increased by rivulets, en-
larged by melting SHOWS, led to the
general bursting Of this mighty
mass of ice. Conceive a solid mass
from six to eight feet thick burst,
ing for many miles in one continued
rupture, produced by a force incon-
ceivably great and in a manner in
expressibly sudden.
Thunder is no adequate image Of
this awful explosion. The islands
and lowlands were all flooded in an
instant by an impetuous torrent,
bearing down, with incredible and
tumultuous rage, immense shoals Of
ice, which, jammed together in
some places, in others erecting
themselves in gigantic heights for
an instant in the air, seemed to
combat with their fellow giants
and, falling together with an in
conceivable crash, formed picture
animated and various beyond con-
ception.

Instances Of the Rudeness Of the Pa.

nous Abernethy.
The Duke of Wellington, having
insisted on seeing DR.. Abernethy
out Of his usual hours and abruptly
entering his room, was asked by the
doctor how he got in. 'By that
door," was the reply. "Then," said
Abernethy, II recommend you to
make your exit by the same way"
He refused to attend George ~.
until he had delivered his lecture at
the hospital, in consequence Of
which he lost a naval appointment.
To lady who complained that on
holding her arm over her head she
felt pain he said, "Then what a fool
you must be to hold it upp He
was fond of calling people fools. A
countess consulted him, and he of
fered her some pills, when she said
she could never take pill. mot
take a pill! What fool you must
bel" was the courteous reply.
A farmer of immense bulk came
from distance to consult him, and,
having given an account of his daily
meals, which showed an immense
amount of animal food, Abernethy
said: "Go away, sir! | won't at
tempt to prescribe for such hogP
A loquacious lady he silenced by
telling her to put out her tongue.
She having done SO, ''Now keep it
there till / have done talking" said
Abernethy. A lady having brought
her daughter, he refused to pre-
scribe for her, but told the mother
to let the girl take exercise. Hav-
ing received his guinea, he gave the
shilling to the mother and said,
"Buy the girl a skipping rope as
you go along"
When the Duke Of York consult
ed him he stood whistling, with his
hands in his pockets, and the duke
said, 81 suppose you know who |

O gentleman who consulted him for
an liberated throat and wanted him
to look at it he said, GLOW dare you
suppose that I would allow you to
blow your sinking, foul breath in
my face?" But sometimes he met
a Tartar.
A gentleman who could not sue
coed in getting the doctor to listen
to his case suddenly locked the
door, put the key in his pocket
and took out loaded pistol. Aber-
nethy, alarmed, asked if he meant
to murder him. No. He only
wanted him to listen to his case and
meant to keep him a prisoner TILL
he did. The patient and surgeon
afterward became great friends.

Byrd Law Declared Defective

An important case, involving the
validity of the Byrd law, prohibit
ing the sale of liquors to habitual
drunkards, was decided in Man
chester last week. The case re-
suited in two grave defects in the
law being pointed out, with the re-
suit that the two persons on trial
were acquitted. Mayor Maurice
sat in the case.
Connie Dobbins, proprietor, and
Clifton Elder, bartender, were
charged by Mrs. George Stein with
selling liquor to her husband, Gan
habitual drunkard," after she had
written letter to the proprietor
asking him not to sell to her hus-
band. In addition to "a number Of
witnesses testifying 10 STEMS
habits, Chief of Police Lip comb
stated chat Stein bad been before
the court repeatedly for drunken
ness; that Stein had been made to
take the pledge, rut under bend
and sent to Jail, but that all efforts
to reform ain had been futile.
Ernest Wells, of counsel fox the
prisoners. said that the Byrd law
did rot even attempt to define an
habitual drunkard, aud that there
fore, the charge of selling to such
a one could never be proved, nor
could conviction be procured
under this law. H. said that the
Byrd law placed the responsibility
of deciding that man was not
entitled to any liquor on the bar
tender, and that in this case the
accused had proved that go far as
they were concerned Stein was not
an habitual drunkard. and was,
therefore, entitled to buy liquor
from their the same as any other
man, Mr.. Wells maintained that
the highest courts in the land diff
fered ae to what constituted an
habitual drunkard.
Mayor Maurice, in rendering his
decision, said: "There is some
doubt as to what really and legal
ly constitutes an habitual drunk
ard. Since my own knowledge
has been called in the case l am
bound to say l do not believe Dob
bins knew of STEMS habits. L
discharge you both, and now and
here warn every bartender in Man
CHESTER not to sell drink of !iq.

DIET IN SUMMER
Rules for Eating and Drinking
In Heated Term


In Heated Term
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, food ex-
pert of the government, has few
simple rules for eating and drink
ing during the heated term. Here
are his commandments;
Eat o1e-fourth less in summer
than in winter.
Eat meat in moderation. Select
the lighter meats.
Danish all alcoholic beverages.
Eat most largely of cooked fruits
and vegetables.
Drink nothing below go degrees
in temperature, and drink spar
ingly.
Be careful to seek the society Of
cheerful friends.
Practice moderation in open air
exercise.
Don't fret; don't worry.
Thousands Of people are mad"
sick in summer because they do
not know how or what 10 eat, "
observed DR.. Wiley. "But the
same criticism applies to the win
ter season as well. Few people
follow definite rules. Moderate
eating, moderate drinking, moder-
ate exercise in the open air and
cheerful friends will keep any
good man alive through the sum-
mer.
Eating in summer should be
diminished by about enc quarter,
inc smuch as the heat energy is
one-quarter less than in winter.
"Fruits and vegetables are the
normal diet fer summer, provided
they are cooked. If eaten raw
they should not be contaminated
with pathogenic bacteria.
"Few persons who delight in
raw fruits fer breakfast have any
idea of psthogenic bacteria, its ap
pearance OF it's taste. Ii it has
any. So apples. peaches, grapes
and even the delectable grape
fruit are to be Eanished because
they may have been contaminated
Stewed prunes are good If you
like them and the contamination
has been cooked cut of them.
The festive highball and the
more plebeian 'scuttle of suds' are
to be put aside. Alcohol when
oxidized Is nothing but beat, and
these summer days are hot enough.
Should more alcohol be used than
is oxidjzed the user gets poisoned
1t is hard to tell during the heat
ed season when the alcohol imbib-
ed is going to stop oxidizing, sc
the safest plan is to cease imbio'
ing.
"CarA should be taken against
/ oi"Jge -sSOO".1 - I-;-J..
over-indulgence in very cola urink'
or frozen relishes. On hot days nC
beverages below go degrees in tenn
perature should be taken. Other
wise they are apt to produce what
physicians describe as ice-water
dyspepsia. Soda water and ice
cream are alike when taken in
large quantities. Observe the law
of moderation and eat and drink
slowly"
Here DR.. Wiley interrupted his
solemn warnings to break into
verse:
Full many man, both Young and old
Has gone to his sareophagus
By pouring water, icy cold,
Adown his hot esophagus.
"Tell your readers to be cheer
full: it might be worse" DR.. Wiley
concluded.
