Concerning the Poppy.

To the farmer the poppy is an un-
welcome weed. In the old days, how
ever, the flower was held in great es-
TEEN, being dedicated to Ceres, the
goddess of agriculture. 1t played an
important part in harvest-home cele-
brations and other ceremonies, and
was protected in the countryside. To
day, in Switzerland, the poppy is used
as love token. Girls place a petal
I'm the palm Of their left hand and
strike 1t with their right. If the petal
bursts with a sharp pop" the lover
in the case is held to be sincere. II
there is no sound the girl believes
him false.

Panies Which Followed the Bursting
Of the Bubble Of Speculation.
of the great bubble of 81. Late that
night, Disaster, loathsome and thou
sand-legged, crept into the little city.
1t came on a steamer from the East
and FASTENED from home to home,
from tavern to tavern. Great banks
had suspended payment; New York
had suffered a panic; many large busi-
ness enterprises in the East had
failed; certain agents for the bonds
of Illinois had absconded with the
states money; in the big cities there
had been an ominOus closing Of doors
and turning of locks; great army
OF men were out of employment The
little city was In frenzy Of excitement
Tie streets were filed with shout.
ing, half-crazed thrOng. New fortunes
had shrunk to nothing and less than
nothing In a night. Lots In the city
we're offered for a 1.-THE Of what their
market value had been. Davis had
lhut NliC SAOAh WOhlN
with the first steamer and In the
slang of business had put on life
preserver. Samson knew that the
time TO buy was when every one
wanted TO sell. He bought two corner
lots in the city and two acres on the
prairie half a mile from town. They
got their deeds and went to the KEEL
SOS to bid them good-by.
After hearty farewells Samson and
Harry set out for their home. They
were not again to see the gentle face
and hear the pleasant talk Of Jack
Kelso. He had once said, in the pres
ence of Samson, that 1t is we'll to
remember, always, that things can not
go on with US as they are. Changes
come-slowly and quite according to
our calculations, or so swiftly and
unexpectedly that they fill us with
confusion. Learned and wise in the
weighty problems of humanity he had
little prudence in regulating the af-
fairs of his own family.
Kelso had put every dollar he had
and some that he hoped to have into
land. BIN, who had been teaching In
one Of the schools, had invested all
her savings in a dream city on the
shore of an uncohstructed canal.

Glowing the Tongue.

A glove for the tongue has been
patented by an inventor Of l. lana. II
is called a tongue Shield" and is de-
signed to enable the wearer TO escape
the unpleasantness Of castor oil OF
other bad-tasting medicines. The con-
trivance might be said to have the
shape of miniature slipper without
any heel portion, but when placed over
the tongue is inverted. The tongue is
inserted into the toe" part and the
hack part Of the sole" extends over
the top OF the tongue toward the
throat. The device is made # thin
rubber, SO as to be liquid proof. and
Is 80 constructed as to at the tongue
suugly without discomfort. When
medicine Is taken II passes into the
throat without affecting the sense OF
taste, SO that all unpleasautness is OBJ

The two thieves had had enough
Of rs and they got out"
That night our party camped on the
shore Of the Kanknkee and next day
they met the contractors. Lincoln
Joined the latter party and Harry and
Samson went on nlone. Late that af-
ternoon they crossed the nine-mile pral-
rie, beyond which they could see the
simmer Of the lake and the sunlit
structures of the new city.
There II u.s." said Samson. -Four
thousand. one hundred and eighty
people live there. 1t looks like stur-
dy two-year-old."
The houses were small and cheaply
built and of many colors. Some we're
implanted. Near the prairie they
stood like people on the outer edge of
a crowd, looking over one another's
shoulders and pushing in a disordered
mass toward the center Of interest.
Some seemed to have struggled away
as IL they had gwen up trying to see
or hear. So to one nearing it the town
had a helter-skelter look.
Our travellers passed rough boarded
houses with grandlooking people In
their dooryards and on their small
porches-men in broadcloth and tall
hats and ladies I'm silk dresses. 1t
was six o'clock and the men had come
home to supper. AS the horsemen
proceeded larger buildings surrounded
them, mostly two stories high. There
were some stores and houses built of
red brick. Beyond the scatter Of
cheap, wooden structures they came to
streets we'll laid out and crowded and
busy and "very soft" to quote a phrase
from the diary. Teams were strug-
Cling in the mud, drivers shouting and
Iushing. Agents for hotels and board
ing houses began to solicit the two
horsemen from the plank sidewalks.
The latter were deeply impressed by
negro In scarlet clothes, riding n
horse in scarlet housings. He carried
scarlet banner and was advertising
in loud voice the hour and place of
great land sale that evening.
A sound of many hammers beating
upon boards could be heard above the
noises of the street and behind all was
the constant droning of a big steam
saw and the whlr Of the heavy stones
In the new grist mill. 1t was the be-
ginning of that amazing dlapason OF
industry which accompanied the build
ing of the cities of the West.
They put out in the livery stable of
the City hotel and at the desk of the
latter asked about the price of board.
1t was three dollars a day and no
pollteness In the offer.
ats purity Steep" said Samson.
But I'm too hungry for argument or
delay and guess we can stand 1t to
be nnbohs for day or So"
The hotel clerk had a Register OF
| the Residents of the City of Chicago
wherein they found the name and ad.
dress of John Kelso They went out
to find the house. Storekeepers tried
to stop them rs they passed along the
street with offers of land at bargains
which would make them milllonaires
In a week. In proceeding along the
plank sidewalks they were often as
cendIng or descending steps to another
level.
On La Sale street they found the
