AGE AND YOUTH

AGE AND YOUTH.
I know a white-haired man; I know a
bright-eyed boy.
They both are famous-one is Woe,
The other Joy.
In outward form they're sundered wide
AS pole from pole;
Yet in the depths Of each must hide
Some common soul.
For wheresoe'er Joy goes, some lure
Brings Woe there, too;
And should Woe lead the way, it's sure
Joy will pursue.
And so they have small care for truth,
It seems to me,
Who idly tell US age and youth
VIII ne'er agree.

Program For Sane Fourth

There have been collected and pub.
lished in the June issue of the Wo-
mans Home Companion a number
of descriptions of real safe and
sane" celebrations of the Fourth of
July. The rapidity with which this
idea is growing will crafty all those
who look forward with terror to the
prospect of a hundred or more chill
dren in the United States being
killed or injured on Independence
day. Here is a contribution from
an Illinois woman to the collection
of suggestions which the Compan-
ion publishes:

Capt. John Ford, Of the launch

according to his gauge at the lake
shore. the lake has risen during the
past year eighteen inches, and that
there is foot and IA half more wa.
ter IN the lake now than there was
year ago at this time. There are
two feet more water now than there
were when the lake frozc up last
fall There isquite a stream Of wa
ter leaking into the lake from
Creel's bay. which was well soaked
by the heavy rains this spring. and
there is considerable coming through
Church s Ferry and other coulees.
II is believed that. With the ordi-
nary amount of rainfall the lake Will
be able to hold is own from now ON.
According to the best information
obtainable. up to two years ago the
lake had remained stationary for
ten years The long continued dry
spell last year and the year before
lowered the lake between two and
three feet, and it was thought the
lake would disappear entirely in a.
few years. But the rains this spring
show that the lake remains just
about the same, rising and falling
with the amount of moisture in the
ground
The coal mine at Wilton has the
reputation Of being the largest mine
in the west, but. according to the
Dogden News, another will have the
honor. Henry Jameson made an
unusual find last week, while drill
ing we'll on his farm six miles
southwest of Dogden. At 225 feet
below the surface he encountered n
vein Of coal % feet in thickness. and,
to the best of his knowledge, of the
very best quality. Mr.. Jameson is
not prepared to estimate the extent
of this coal bed, but inpoint of depth
it is ahead of any coal find that has
been made in this western country
(the great Wilton mine measuring
only fourteen feet in depth) and is
said to be the greatest of its kind i'm
the world.
During the last few days. says the
Fargo Forum, the finding of many
dead grasshoppers i'm the fields has
led to an examination of the cause

dreaded pest The investigation
shows that mites are killing otf the
grasshoppers The little insects are
found in great numbers under the
wing of the grasshopper just where
the wing joins ON to the body of the
animal. 1t appears that the insects
bury their fangs into the body of
the grasshopper and slowly kill it,

appeared to be perfectly ifeless,
but, when thelittle lice were shaken
and pulled off, the animal began
to show signs of life again and
seemingly recovered from its death
