A TRAMP'S SONG.
Wander in1 in tho Juno time, down around tb
river,
Outcu liciriu' o the world, a-dn:-.in' tinder

O the alders an' tho willers, all a-driijin' in
the water.
Kinder fieerus to me like livin'; but they tell
me how I'd ouhter
Be in the una a-workiu'. 'bteiul 'o watchin
daisies (frowin'.
Be a-whetin' up a reaper, an' a-Kweatin1, aa' a-
uiowiu
Of 'era down to dry.
Bat I'd somehow rather watch the beauties
bobbin' an' a-tfrowinjj'.
But I cant tell why.
Wanderin' in the flower lime, up 'long the vnl
ley,
Watchin' little grasses yrow, an' Nater's sur
geons rally
From the wind H tor ma o' winter: tticlU-r.-
Krowin' yeller.
The brooks a-biniu' happily, the sky rowin"
nieller,
Catchin' uj reflections o the hues the eartu"

Kinder awkin' at 'em meetin' in the disiaiict
an' a-wooin'.
Or a lovin' here to lie,
Uatenin' to the pigeons a-nestin' an' a-oooin'.
But I can't tell why.
Sneak in' up an' down the creek, a-peakin'at
the fishes,
Rnnnin' over in my head a lazy lot o' wishes
Kothin'much to talk about wish 'twasalways
summer,
Er' every skeeter et I'd .catch ed turn a part

Then jes' a-layin' down atrain, hands fliippin'

Outen hearin' o' the world, breathiu' bl.

O' the earth an' meller t-ky.
Contented like nn' happy, jes' to watch I lie

But I can't tell why.

The Earliest Child's Kook.
As might be supposed, the earliest book
that i3 assigned to the child is the Latin
grammar. Boys' Latin grammar for
several centuries were mere text books
compiled from the larger works of Duna
tu and Priocian, and they were com
monly known by the name of Donates
or Donets, a term which occurs in Pitrs'
"Plowman." The word grammar, on
the contrary, was used more in conjunc
tion with Latin studies generally, and
science, as well as even magical power,
was sometimes spoken of as grammarye.
A very commonly used school book in
monasteries seems to have been the
"Con ?olation of Philosophy" (in the orig
inal, of course), by Boethins, of which at
least a fragment "would most probably
be found even in the most meager con
vent library."
The earliest book in existence written
expressly for boys is here stated to be
Aldhelm's "De Septenario, de Metris.
iEnigmatibus, ac Pedum Regulis."
which probably appeared about the end
of the Seventh century. A great part
of it consists of dialogues between teach
er and pupil, in the st;. Ie which was Ktill
popular in the first half of the present
century, and may be found in such
works as Mrs. Markham's History. The
Venerable Bede is also claimed as a
writer for the young. London Saturday
Review.
Grandraa'H Cure for Dandruff.
"We often scoff at the ancient grand
mother remedies," said an up town phy
sician the other day in conversation with
a patient, "but our forefathers used to
get a power of comfort from them, never
theless, and cheaply too. Science has
progressed wonderfully, of course, and
we are much better off on the whole now
than were our sires, but we forget a
great many of the little things. Now I
notice that you are troubled with dan
druff, and I'll wager that you have spent
many dollars on different alleged cures,
and you are worse off now than when
you commenced. Let me give you a
'grandmother' prescription that never
fails. Go to a drug store and buy five
cents' 'worth of salts of tartar. Dissolve
half of it in warm water and wash the
head thoroughly. Repeat this at inter
vals of three months for a year, and you
won't be annoyed with dandruff auy
more." New York Recorder.

Humanity Rung In Streaks.
Peculiar humanity runs in streaks. On
certain days you will notice a surprising
number of tall people. Sometimes it's
cross eyed people. On other occasions
the noticeably short persons have their
innings. Then one day somebody equally
observant will say, "What a remarkable
array of the crippled, the lame, the
maimed, the dwarfed, the generally de
formed there are out today?" And while
you are commenting on it another comes
along and then another and another until
the idea makes you thirsty. New York
Herald.

It is a peculiarity of Mr. Clarence A.
Seward, president of the Union club,
that he will never ride on the elevated
road. He prefers the conservative street
car, and when the street cars are not
running he walks. Mr. Seward also has
an aversion to passenger elevators in tall
buildings. It is said by eoiae of his
closest friends that the only elevator that
he will trust himself in is the one in the
Union club. His office in Nassau street
.is on the third floor, and there he walks
up and down stairs. New York Times.
A new method of annealing small
pieces of steel is to heat them as slowty
as possible, and when at a red heat put
them between two pieces of dry board
and screw them up in a vise. The steel

gether, form an air tight charcoal bed.
When cool the steel is found to be thor
oughly annealed.

frequent cause of sudden death,
which in three out of four cases is

not generally understood. These
are: a habit of lying on the right
