Scientists as well as laymen tell ex traordinary stories of the wonderful leaps whereby salmon ascend water falls. One Investigator, who lias stud ied the salmon of southeastern Alaska, asserts that those fish do not select a particular point of attack in en deavoring to surmount a fall. They show a remarkable*lack of ac curacy as well as of definiteness, in their movements. When trying to ascend- a fall they sail through the air, with the body rigid and the fins spread and held tense, and at the in stant when the momentum of the jump Is lost they impart a rapid and power ful vibration of the tail. This oc curs whether the jump is successful or hot. Should the fish reach water at the top of the fall this motion insures the maintenance of its position. In open water they jump sidewise instead of lengthwise, and there is no movement of tlie tail.

By JOE CONE. I hate to speak of “good ol' days,” beenz it sounds, I vow, Almost like castin’ slurs upon the days of here an’ now; But I’m ol’ fashioned, just a bit, as all iny neighbors knoAv, An’ so I miss a heap o’ things that happened long ago. Maybe I'm changed, 1 suppose 1 am, but things have changed as well, An’ whether they’re improved, or wuss, it’s mighty bard to tell; But take that day of all the days when youngsters’ spirits flow, Bo they have ha f the fun we had in days of long ago? Why bless your heart, we fairly b'iled with patriotic pride, An’ daylight found no boy asleep in all the countryside. An open window o’er the shed oft left its tell talc track, An’ many breakfasts were untouched becuz we wern’t backl O, there were many things to do, things that must needs be done, Like ringin’ of the ol’ church bell, an’ load the sunrise gun; An’ there were things to be compared, an’ things to swap, you know, Like pin wheels, punk, an’ paper caps, them days of long ago. An ’ we had celebrations then, upon the village green, With music by the Gungy hand, the best Avas ever seen! What fun to hold the big bass drum, with thumpin’ on behind; A boy could walk a dozen miles or moron’ never mind. An’ speakin'? Say, Judge Perkins he could make the people cheer, An’ folks they come from miles around to git a chance to hear. An’ then the races an’ the games, sack races, don’t you know, An’ climbin’ of the greasy pole—them days of long ago. Who tries to ketch a greasy pig now a days, I’d like to know? Who lias tub races on the pond like we had long ago? An’ then such wondrous things to eat! Home cookin’, yes sir-ee! I most kin taste them vittles now of back in Sixty-three! An’ there was dancin’ in the grove with Cloky fiddlin’ loud, With ruddy cheeks and sparklin’ eyes all spriukled through the crowd; An' ev’ry Fourth was safe an’ sane, as l’ar as we could know, An’ every boy had loads of fun them days of long ago. Them good ol’ days in Gungywump! I miss ’em, I confess, When ev’ry Fourth was just one round o’ youthful happerness. I am ol’ fashioned, just a bit, an’ I don’t Avant, I vow, To say a single word ag 'in the days of here an ’ now, But 1 jest wish down in my heart the youngster of today, Could see us celebrate the Fourth the good ol’ fashioned Avay; I really b’lieve there Avas more health an’ happerness an’ gloAV, In celebratin’ Gungy’s way—the Avay of long ago! COLONEL IIALPINE ’S POEM. Read At The Founding Of The Gettysburg Monument. As men beneath some pang of grief, Or sudden joy will dumbly stand, Finding no words to give relief Clear, passion warm, complete, and brief To thoughts with which their souls expand, So here today those trophies nigh, No fitting words our lips can reach; The hills around, the graves, the sky, The silent poem of the eye, Surpasses all the art of speech! Today a nation meets to build A natibn’s trophy to the dead, Who, living, formed her sword and shield, The arms she sadly learned to wield, When other hops of peace had fled; And not alone for those who lie In honored graves before us blest, Shall our proud column broad and high, Climb upward to the blessing sky But be for all a monument. An emblem of our grief as well For others, as for these, we raise; For these beneath our feet who dwell, And all who in Ihc good cause fell, On other fields in other frays. To all the self same love we hear Which here for marbled memory strives; No soldier for. a wreath would care, Which ail true comrades might not share,— Brothers in death as in their lives. On southern hill sides, parched and brown, In tangled swamps, on verdant ridge, Where pines and broadening oaks look down And jasamine waves its yellow crown, And trumpet creepers clothe the hedge, Along the shores of endless sand, Beneath the palms of southern plains, Sleep everywhere, hand locked in har.d^. The brothers of the gallant band Who here poured life through throbbing veins. Around the closing eyes of all, The same red glories glared and flew; The hurrying flags, the bugle call, The whistle of the angry bail, The elbow touch of comrade true, The skirmish fire, a spattering spray, The long sharp growl of fire by file, The thick'ning fury of the fray When opening batteries get in Play, And the line form o’er many a mile. The focman's yell, our answ ring cheer, lied flash<’.; through the gathering smoke, Swift order.’, r sonant and clear, ikiibe cries from comrades; tried and dear. The shell scream and the sabre stroke, The volley fire, from left to right, Prom right to left, we hear it swell, The headlong charges, swift and bright, The thick ’rung tumult of the fight, And bursting thunders of the shell. Now closer, denser, grows the strife, And here we yield, and there we gain; The air Avith hurtling missiles rife, Volley for volley, life for life; No time to heed the cries of pain. Panting, as up the hills avc charge, Or down them as Ave broken roll, Life never felt so high, so large, And never o’er so wide a range In triumph SAvept the kindling soul. New raptures Avakeu in the breast, Amid this hell of scene and sound, The barking batteries never rest, And broken foot, by horsemen pressed, Still stubbornly contest their ground; Fresh Avaves of battle rolling in, To take the place of shattered Avaves ? Torn lines that grow more bent j and thin, A blinding cloud, a maddening din,— ’Twas then avc filled these very graves. Night falls at length Avith pitying veil, A moonlit silence, deep and fresh. These upturned faces, stained and pale, Vainly the chill night dews assail; Far colder than the dews their flesh. And flickering far, through brush and Avood, Go searching parties, torch ip hand. “Seize if you can some rest and food, At dawn the fight will be re no avc d,— Sleep on arms!” the hushed com mand. They talk in whispers as they lie In line, these rough and Aveary men. “Dead or but Avounded?” then a sigh; “No coffin either?” “Guess Avill try To get those two guns back again.” “We’ve five flags to their one, oho!” “That bridge! 'TAvas not there as avc passed. “The Colonel dead? It can’t be so. Wounded, badly, that I know, But he kept his saddle to the last.” “Be sure to send it, if I fall.” “Any tobacco? Bill, have you?”' “A brown hair d, blue eye laugh ing doll.” “Good night boys, and God keep! you all.” “What, sound as!e p? Guess I'll sleep too,” | “Aye, ju i about this hour they pray | For dal.” “Stop talking, pass j Hie word.” Aud soon as quiet as the clay Which thousands will but be next day, The long drawn sighs of sleep arc heard. Oh! men, to whom this sketch, though rude, Calls back some scene of pain and pride; Oh I widow, hugging close your brood, Oh ! wife, with happiness renewed, Since he again is at your side; This trophy that today wc raise Should be a monument for all, Aud on its side no niggard phrase Confine a generous nation’s praise To those who here have chanced to fall. But let us all today combine Still other monuments to raise; Here for the dead we build a shrine, And now to those who crippled pine Let ns give hope of happier days. Let homes of those sad wrecks of war Through all the land with speed arise; They cry from every gaping scar, ‘Let not our brother’s tomb debar The wounded living from your eyes.” A noble day, a deed as good, A noble scene in which ’tis done, The birthday of our nationhood, And here again the nation stood. On this same day its life was won! A bloom of banners in the air, A double calm of sky and soul, Triumphant chant and bugle blare, And green fields spreading bright aud fair, As heavenward our hosannas roll. Hosannas for a land redeemed, The bayonet sheathed, the cannon dumb 1 Passed as some horror we hav< dreamed, The fiery meteors that here streamed, Threat’ning within our homes tp come! Again our banner floats abroad, Gone the one stain that on it fell; And bettered by His chast’ning rod, With streaming eyes uplift to God. We say, ‘‘He doeth all things well.” EASY TO MAKE FIGURES.

THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in th» smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func tions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causing Imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for aloohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet In their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing Syrupe and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too stronglv decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them willfully with narcotics. Castoria contains no narcotics if it bears t! signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Genuine Castoria always bears the signature Where a married woman elopes with Another woman’s husband it’s hnrd to tell who Is entitled to sympathy. i LIFT OFF CORNS! | 1 1 Doesn’t hurt at all and costs only a few cents m i « i » iVi Magic!
