Posthumous lnAuanea.

The relations between man and man
cease not with life. The. dead leave
behind them their memory, their exam
pie and the effects of their actions.
Their influence still abides with us;
their names and character dwell in our
thoughts and hearts; we live and COM
mune with them in their writings; we
enjoy the benefits Of their labors; our
institutions have been founded by
them; we are surrounded by the works
Of the dead; our knowledge and our
arts are the fruits of their toll: our
minds have been formed by their In
structions; we are most intimately con-
nected with them by a thousand de-
tendencies. Those whom we have low
ed In life are still objects Of our deep
est and holiest affections. Their pow
er over us remains. Andrews Norton.

Liaht and the Blind.

Light has use, even if men cannot or
will not see it. Baring-Gou tells of
an institution for the blind that was
built in England without windows
why" argued the committee, should
we provide windows for those that
cannot see out of them?' So scientific
ventilation and heating were provided,
but the walls were left unpierced by
any pane of glass.
But soon the poor inmates grew pale,
and a great languor fell upon them.
They were restless and dissatisfied.
They fell sick, and one or two died.
Then 1t was that the committee decid-
ed to open windows in the walls. In
came the healing light, and the human
plants responded to it at once in re-
vived spirits. ruddy cheeks and re-
stored health. Light is good, the light

who shut their eyes, Christian Her

ON GETTING SUNG.
Not Socially Nor Financially. but the
Real Hornet Thing.

Noe Socially Nor FInanciallys nue eh0
Real Hornet Thing.
Ever get stung? Or, rather, who
hasn't says the North Carolina state
board of f<health-"both with bees and
otherwise. Hurts like the mischief,
doesn't it-both getting stung by bees
and getting stung otherwise? For Ell
ther kind of getting stung prevention is
better than cure and discretion Is the
best part of valor
Tact, diplomacy and good judgment
will ward off many instances Of get
ting stung in the social world as well
as in the insect world. We offer no
panacea or remedy for the former, but
for the latter, seriously speaking, much
can be done.
! The first impulse in the case of an
insect sting is to strike the offending
insect, and in doing SO In most cases
we usually tear the insect away from
its sting, leaving the sting In the flesh.
It is the irritating poison on the
sting that hurts so badly and causes
such swelling, so the very first thing
to do is to remove the sting it left In
the flesh Use knife point or needle
for this purpose. Then, don't scratch
or rub the sting. That only makes
bad matters worse. Apply few drops
Of weak ammonia or spirits of camphor
or ordinary tincture of iodine as quick
ly as possible
The poison from hornet stings Is
soluble in alcohol, and therefore IL the
spot be gently bathed or washed In al
cohol some relief Is obtained.
Finally, If ammonia, camphor, iodine
or alcohol is not available, gently rub
bing piece of wet soap over the sting
helps the situation out somewhat. AL
ways remember, however, that the
most important first aid is to remove
the offending sting and that prevention
Is better than cure.

Winning an Autograph.

Like Rudyard Kipling, the famous
novelist, Hall Game has a great dis
like for the autograph 'fend," and he
has to be clever collector who can
get the signature of the author Of
"The Manxman.''
On one occasion. however, Mr.. Hall
Game was beaten by very smart
trick. While on visit to America he
was besieged by autograph hunters,
but he refused them all. Then one day
a porter at his hotel brought him a
registered letter. He was asked to
sign receipt, and was then Informed
that he must sign second paper
which had to be returned to the sender
of the letter.
Quite unused to American ways, he
did so, and when he opened the let
ter. after the porter had retired, his
astonishment may be imagined when
he found that it contained nothing but
a note of thanks for his autograph.
which he, had of course appended to
the paper!- Pearson's.

SAVE THE VOICE.
DO Not Sing Nor Talk When Suffering
From Throat Fatigue.

Fatigue Injuries the voice. Excessive
use of the voice weakens its carrying
power. From overuse or improper use
Of the voice chronic pharyngitis de-
velops. Every one knows the symp-
toms of overuse of the voice. The voice
is husky, and its use Is followed by dis
tress. There is an increase in secre-
tion and constant desire to clear the
throat, and there are disagreeable SEN
sations, as fullness, tickling and the
like. After long day of shopping,
sightseeing or ones daily routine of
work, it is quite common to be trou-
bled by hoarseness, which does not In
dicate a cold but is merely fatigue
Of parts which produce the voice.
The muscular system all over the
body is tired, relaxed. The throat, be-
ing muscular structure, shares in this
fatigue, and it should never be used for
any particular purpose, like singing OF
reciting, until the whole body is rested
II one has arranged to use the voice at
the close of the day or at any other
time, it should not be when suffering
from fatigue.
Public speakers and singers take care
Of their voices and never willingly use
them long enough at a time to weaken
them. Singing only one song extra
may hurt the voice enough to impair
its clearness, and frequent OVERRIDING
may result in a permanent weakness.
Rest before using the voice and taking
care not to use it too long when sing
ing or speaking saves the voice and
keeps it clear and sweet and gives it
carrying power.

An Old London PAPER.

On Sept. 8. 1865. special number Of
the London Gazette was issued, the
reason being, as described In its first
paragraph: 1.-THE ordinary course Of
this paper having been interrupted by
sad and lamentable accident OF fire
lately happened In the city Of London,
1t hath been thayht fit for satisfying
the minds Of 50 many OF his majestie's
good subjects, who must needs be con-
cerned for the issue of so great an ac-
cident. to give this short, but true, 40.
compt Of it
The first number had been published
on Nov. ii. 1865. when the court was
at Oxford on account of the great
plague. and the paper was therefore
called at first the Oxford Gazette.
With its twenty-fou-th number, how
ever, it became the London Gazette, by
which name it has been known ever
since.

Timiditx of The Horne.

The horse is by nature timid ami
NAL. as, generally speaking. all ami
mails are to whom nature has given
powers Of swift fight as their, chief
means of self preservation OF course
individuals differ in this respect, but
the rule is so general that it should
never be lost sight of in training. That
the horse can be trained to war simply
shows the extent to which his natural
impulses can be modified and subdued
by the art of man.
Breeds of horses differ in regard to
natural timidity. The pure bred Arab
is beyond all comparison the most
fearless horse in the world. 1t is pos
sible that this may be owing in part
to the fact that his natural develop
-ment was for long ages in an open
country. where he was not Id constant

Luck In Name Only.

Lutsk, or Luck, to give it the Polish
name. is another of the towns Of east
ern Europe which can point to a
checkered history. 1t is traditionally
said to have been founded in the sew
enfh century. Four hundred years
later it had developed into the capital
of an Independent principality. After
further lapse of four centuries we
find it wealthy place and the seat Of
a bishopric But evil times awaited it.
During the Russo-Polish wars of the
sixteenth century its 10000 inhabitants
were exterminated, and Lutsk lost Its

Expense Didn't Bother Him.

That the East Indian of wealth is a
luxury loving individual and cares NO
more for his rupees than does the Pitts
tburgh millionaire for dollars when en-
tertaining is shown by the following
example:
One afternoon an Indian gentleman,
clad in modern English garments, en-
tered the salesroom of an automobile
firm in Calcutta. The visitor was met
by the salesman. who proceeded to ex-
plain the various good points of five
electric vehicles on exhibition. The
Indian stopped him with wave Of his
stick and said:
'.Send them to my palace at once
(which opes?" asked the surprised
salesman.
"All of them," was the answer.
The purchaser was the nizam Of Hal.
darabad. and the above incident is re.
lated by T. K. Stuart, an American
electrical engineer. who knows India
by heart from long experience.

FUN AND THE DRAMA.
Has the Public Turned Away From the
Classics Of the Theater7


Wherever they come into competi-
tion in the American theater today
tragedy yields to comedy and melodra-
ma to farce. Even in the movies" fun
must have sway or the public COM
plains.
That once great public Of theater go
ers who sat through and applauded the
woes and emotions, the loves and sor-
rows and desperate adventures Of the
heroes and heroines Of the legitimate
drama, who loved acting for its own
sake and gloried in the sonorOus ca
dences Of the great folk of the stage,
seem now agreed that no theatrical at
traction is good show unless it ''hands
them a laugh"
Real plays nowadays are launched In
small theaters. Here foregather few
of the old guard, devotees Of the an
cient and honorable art Of acting, a few
students Of dramatic literature, hum
dred of the elect drawn from the mil
lions Of the largest cities-like an old
family Of aristocrats who have seen
better days. But the masses do not
want the literature, the art the class
les, of the theater.
To stir the imagination, to touch the
heart. to stimulate thought, to put wis
dom and heroism into contact with
mankind-all of these old and earnest
motives of the theater have passed or
are passing into the dim and dusty
property room.'
To be amused, to be jolted out Of all
serious thought, to be distracted from
every hard facet of life that is what
the show going public Of America
wants now. That is what the stage is
now for. It is to laugh Minneapolis

A CURIOUS ANIMAL.
The Sea Cow Gave Rise to the Legend
Of 4he Sirens.

Of The Sirens.
The dugong, or sea COW, is pc
culiar animal. 1t resembles the IA
miliar seal, but it has no. hair on the
body and is more nearly related to the
porpoises and whales.
This animal is found on the shores
Of the Indian ocean, about fifteen de-
grees on each side Of the equator, from
East Africa to Australia, and also In
the Red sea. It is marine animal
which never ascends the rivers, its
food consisting chiefly Of seaweed and
the algae found in the water. Years
ago 1t was reported to have been found
in large herds Of several hundred In
dividuals and ia. have been SO fearless
as to allow itself to be touched with
the hand Of man. In recent years,
however, it is met with only In twos
and threes and has become very shy
and wary. Its flesh has been regard
ed as delicacy, and it is stated that
the Malay kings claim as royal proper
ty all those taken within their domain.
Its habit of raising its round head
out Of the water and its great affec-
ton for its young, which it carries un-
der the fore fin, are thought to have
given rise to the legend of the mer-
maid, in allusion to which the name
sirenia was given to this order Of
mammals. 1t is. recorded that it was
with the skin Of the dugong. or-sea
COW, that the Jews were directed to
veil the tabernacle and not with bad
ger" skins, as translated in the au-
thorized version Of the Bible.-New

EARLY SPRAYING or
TIE ORCHARD IS URGED
T. B. sYMoNs.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The man who wins in the Orchard
business is the man who prepares
for the harvest in the early spring.
Trees should be pruned properly, and
all dead wood and brush removed
from the orchard Both apple and
peach orchards should be sprayed with
the concentrated lime sulphur at a
dilution of one part of the solution to
nine parts of water. Growers can buy
this material and make it themselves
using 100 pounds sulphur and so
pounds stone lime, IS gallons water
and boil for one hour. The home
made solution had better be diluted at
the rate Of one to seven or eight parts
of water.
The above treatment will control the
San Jose Scale, and aid in preventing
leaf curl, disease especially bad on
the Elberta variety Of peaches. All
spraying apparatus should be gone
over and put in good shape for work.
It is expensive to stop work in the
field to fix up parts or mend hose, etc.
Be sure that the spraying is done
thorough, that is all parts Of the trees
should be hit especially the terminal
twigs for It is on the tender wood that
the scale settles. Trees can be
sprayed with this dormant solution
until the buds begin to swell.
Small Orchards.
It Is the small growers that some
times neglects this treatment. There
are many home orchards in the state
that are not producing a revenue.
Now is the time to make their fruit
good by first giving them a severe
pruning and good spraying. In many.
places, such as towns, group Of peo-
pie should get together and employ
some one to spray their trees. In this
way the work can be done more cheap
" and satisfactorily, buy using good
barrel pump, than If the individuals
attempt to do the work with small
pumps. Orchardists who have been
troubled with scab in apples should
prepare to spray with Bordeaux mix
ture just as the bloom shows pink.
Persons desiring further information
should communicate with the Exten-
sion Service, College Park, Nd.
