HOW THE SALMON TRAVELS
Observer Tells of Fish’s Action When
it Starts to Ascend a
Waterfall.
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.

An Old-Fashioned Fourth.
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.”

An auctioneer had been selling horses
ill day and his voice was getting a little
husky, so that ho was economizing as
inuch as possible In the use of words and
even syllables.
Early in the day he had shouted the
bids, “One hundred dollars, two hundred

Then he restricted himself to calling
aut "one hundred, two hundred, three
hundred,” etc.
When McCarty, attracted through curi

The Effects of Opiates.
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.

Results Have Lasted.
“Mornings I was so stiff and sore
1 could hardly get up,” says A. C.
Roulston, prop, blacksmith shop, 2840
Washington St., Roxbury, Mass. “The
sharp pains through my kidneys were
so bad I often thought I wouldn’t be
able to get to work. I
couldn’t rest comfortably
and turned and tossed
from one Bide to the oth
er, with a dull, dragging
backache. There were
puffy spots under my eyes
and I felt worn out all

cretions passed too often
and wera otherwise un- *>,

boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills cured
me. I can honestly recommend Doan’s
for they have surely done me a world

Mr. Roulston gave the above state
