THE AIRSHIP GAZER.


He has a neck as stff as bone,
There's nothing that can bend il.
He started out last week alone
To seek an airship IN the zone
Where man was soon to send it.
he skyward gazed from dawn till dark.
From point TO point he shifted;
He heard below the auto spark,
The small boy shout, a mongrel bark,
But kept his face uplifted,
The evening came, he still looked high
Into the starry heaven;
Eight, nine O'Clock passed slowly by,
The moon came out and lit the sky;
He stayed till halfpast leyen
Next morning he was up and out
And every morn succeeding;
He never deigned to look about
Although he still heard urchins shout,
But kept the heavens reading.
at last murmur caught his ear,
Or some gay rustic jabbed him;
He tried at last his sight to clear,
Look down on earth, but, dear, oh dear!
His neck just up and stabbed him.
Today he wears a plaster cast
That scars above his collar.
His ears and chin are buckle6 fast,
But he has seen a ship at last
And isn't out a dollar!

Phosphorescent Forests.

The phosphorescence of certain agaries

of English engineers found it necessary
to survey tract of low lying country
which was almost impenetrable, and to
blaze the trail natives were employed to
work at night, others during the day.
The former came into camp one night

Maj-Gen. T. Fl. Barry, of the United
States army, who recently inspected the
Panama canal zone in company with
Chief Engineer Cocktails, for the purpose
of getting ideas concerning fertilization,
declares that the work of excavating the
big ditch is progressing amazingly, and
that he can see no reason why the canal
should not be completed by 1915. This
expert opinion comedies with that ex-
pressed by a number of competent Off
Gals who have heretofore visited the
Sanal zone, and it will therefore con-
vince the American people that dirt is
flying on the isthmus. Maj Barry
is also satisfied with the plan of the
canal He says there has been great
deal of discussion on the question of lock
or sea-level canal, but he is convinced
that the engineers are on the right track
at the present time, in constructing a
waterway with locks.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson states
that the amount which the government
expends on experimental work for h-
creasing the efficiency of the farms of
the United States is eighteen million dol
lars a year. The secretary is of opin-
ion that the results are worth the money
He explains that the assistance given to
individual farmers is considerable and is
not confined to any locality. As an in
stance of its effectiveness he cites the
case of farmer who was raising only
twenty bushels of potatoes to the acre
and appealed to the Department for as
sistance and advice. and who is now
raising two hundred and fifty bushels
of potatoes to the acre on the same land.
The government experts were able TO
supply seed and suggest methods that
turned failure into brilliant success. OF
course the benefits of missionary work
of this sort extend far and wide. a
battleship costs nine million dollars. For
the amount which it expends to conduct
the experimental work Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture the government
could build two battleships year-but
it would be foolish to do so.

Wisconsin's prominence as a dairy
state is made clear by a statement by j..
l.. Emery, State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, that an increase Of more than
$11,000,000 in the value of the annual
output of dairy products has been
achieved since 1905. This is making
butter and cheese very fast, and is evil
dence that things have momentum that
will place Wisconsin at the head of the
dairy producing states in the course of

The magnitude of American railroad
enterprise, and the daring of American
engineers are made conspicuous by the
fact of the passage through the tunnel
under the Hudson river of a Pennsyl-
vania railroad train bearing officials of
that road to the new underground pas
senger terminal in the heart of Man
haitian island. The tunnelhng and the
digging of the big pit in the heart of
New York were gigantic undertakings,
from the standpoint of the engineer, and
the devotion of $160,00O,o00 to the car
rying out of the plans is something that
awakens the admiration of even taose
who are used to handling funds in big
chunks.

Capt. Roald Amundsen's proposed
drift across the northern polar circle,
after the manner of DIR. Nansen's ia
nous attempt to attain the pole, is not
attractive to the general mind because of
the fact that the pole is no longer a mys-
terry. But for scientific research, the
proposed drift would be far more fruit
full than any dash across the ice with
sledges could possibly be, as the sound

1t is evident from the reply of Pre-
mier Laurier to the inquiries of alarmed
members Of the Canadian Parliament
concerning the reported increase in the
number of warships of the United States
on the Great Lakes, that the present
Canadian administration has no fears
on that score. The alarmists point to
the passage up the st. Lawrence to the
lakes of the steamers Yantic, Fern,
Dorothea, Don Juan de Austria, Essex,
Sandoval and Nashville, for the use of
the United States Survey and the Naval
Reserve battalions at various ports as an
indication that the United States is
strengthening it's naval arm along the

The city of New York has discovered
several discrepancies in the prices of
supplies purchased for its use by differ
ent departments of its municipal govern
ment. The Department of Water Sup
ply, Gas and Electricity, for instance
pays 50 cents a gallon for exactly the
same oil that is bought by the Fire
Department for 80 cents gallon, and
the prices paid for coal by forty-five
different purchasing agents of the city
vary as much as dollar per ton. Be
cause of these things suspicion is ram
pant that something is as rotten in the
city Of New York as anything that ever
happened in the state of Denmark. In
stigated by Comptroller Metz, an inves-
tigation is in progress to find out the
cause of this effect defective. 1t is to
be hoped that the crookedness will be
made straight. 1t is also to be hoped
that other cities, wherever they may be,
that are undergoing exploitation in the
same manner as New York, will wake up
and let no guilty rascal escape.

THE MOTHERS PROBLEM
OF Raising Strong. Healthy Girls.

vi AAdAsAnB StEouES
A serious problem which presents it
self to every mother with girls to raise,
in these days. The exigencios of school
life, the hurry and routine of everyday
duties, the artificial environment of
modern civilization, make it more
difficult TO raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history of the world.
Boys raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they viii
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying But the girls present ser
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner-
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem? To whom shah she
turn for help? Each case is more or
less a study by itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Schopfer: 500 Prescott
Ave-, st. Louis, Mo-, in letter to DIR.
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four years OF age, was puny, siekly,
ailing child since she was born. 1 was
always doctoring her. When we com
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and well.''
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
R.F. d. ., Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
says: "Our little eight-year-Old girl
had a bad cough, and was in q general
rundown condition" She had several
doctors, who could give the child no re-
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got bottle of Peruna
and commenced giving it to the child,
and it proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: "You havo
done a great deal for her. She is the
only girl we have, and it meant lots to
US to have her cured"
These are samples of many letters
which DR.. Hartman is receiving, com
ing straight from the hearts of loving
mothers. While the different schools
of medicine are pickering and differing
as to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes right steadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, it is cures that the
people want. Theories are OF little
account.
