Coming Home Once More.
When the heated breath of summer
Fanned our brows with fevered heat,
And the very flowers at noontide
Drooped in fragrancefaint and sweet,
Then we dropped the heavy burdens,
Known to every heart that lives,
And for just a little season
Sought the rest that nature gives.
On the breezy mountain summit,
In the pine tree's healing shade,
By the softly flowing river,
Or the eool and quiet glade,
We have heard the silent voices
Whisper benedictions sweet,
While the tired body reveled
In a rest and peace complete.
Where the restless waves are sinping
Through the surges soft and low,
We have seemed to catch the music
Of the songs we used to know.
And the strength and joy of childhood
Seemed to thrill the livelong day,
As among the breakers dashing,
We have battled with the spray.
Oh, the hidden balm of nature
For the tired heart and brain !
It revives the wearied body,
Soothes and silences our pain.
But from mountain-top and meadow,
From the charm of ocean shore,
With their memory fresh upon us,
We are coming home once more.
For the days of rest are over.
There is earnest work to do.
We shall need the insj-iration,
And the strength and courage new.
May the odor of the pine tree,
And the glory of the shore,
Fill and thrill the days before us,
For we're coming home once more.
A Wonderful Lens.
Some years ago the writer paid
a visit to Alvah Clark, at Cam
bridgeport, to witness the testing
of the huge lens for the 'famous
Lick telescope. At the end of
the long, dark room the largest
flint glass then in the world was
set up on edge. From a distance
of about 50 feet a pencil of light
was flashed into the heart of the
disk and reflected back into the
observer's eye. The slightest
imperfections, if any, in the glass
would then be revealed by the
curves of light and the lines of
polarization.
"Now," said Mr. Clark, "I will
show you the wonderful sen
sitiveness of the lens to outside
influence. Every human body
gives out heat, and when brought
near to extremely sensitive sub
stances affects them to a greater
or less extent. Now, which."
He walked down to the lens and
held his hand under it about two
feet away. "Instantaneously a
marvelous spectacle burst into
view. It seemed as if the great
disk had becoine a living volcano,
squirting forth jets of flame. The
display was daading. Waving,
leaping, dancing, the countless
tongues of light- gleamed and vi
brated." Then, fitfully, reluctant
ly, they died away, leaving the
lens reflecting only a pure, un
troubled light.
"What is it?" How do you ac
count for the wonder?" were the
eager questions.
"It is only the radiation of heat,
alternatly expanding and con
tracting the glass. If I had put
my hand upon the lens itself the
phenomenon would have been
even mo'o violent."
To a person ignorant of lenses
the almost supernatural sensit
iveness of a mass of glass weigh
ing several hundred pounds was
astonishing. But to the scien
tist It is an every-day matter, for

Roosevelt the Youngest.
Facts Abont the Presidency, toe Yice
Presidency and their Incumbents.
Theodore Roosevelt is the
youngest man ever induced into
the offico of President of the Uni
ted States, llo has not yet com
pleted his forty-third year.having
been born on October 27, l58.
Up to the time of President
Roosevelt's accession the young
est man to assume the functions
of Chief Executive of the Repub
lic was General Grant, who was
forty-seven when he was first in
augurated, and (trover Cleveland
was the third, being aged forty
eight years at the beginning of
his first term. '
Franklin Pierce and General
James A. Garfield were each forty-nine,
while James K. Polk and
Millard Fillmore had each round
ed their half century. The latter
was the second of the Vice Pres
idents to succeed to the higher of
fice. Jonn Tyler, who became Pres
ident on the death of William
Henry Harrison, being the first
of the Vice Presidents to so attain
the highest place in the notion,
was fifty-one. "Old Tippecanoe,"
the popular appellation of his
predecessor, was the oldest man
ever chosen to the Presidency,
being sixty eight at the time of
inauguration. General Chester
A. Arthur, a fortuitous incum
bent of the high offico through
the assassination of his predeces
sor General G a r field, was fi f ty -one.
Abraham Lincoln was fifty-two,
William McKinley fifty-three,
General Rutherford B. Hayes
fifty-four, Martin Van Buren and
General Benjamin Harrison fifty
five each.
George Washington, the first
President was fifty-seven when
first inaugurated, and that was
the age of Andrew Johnson, who
became President on the assassi
nation of Mr. Lincoln. Thomas
Jefferson and James Madison,
were each fifty-eight when first
installed, and that was the age
of John Quincy Adams, while
James Monroe was a year older
when he began his first term.
John Adams was sixty-two, as
was Andrew Jackson, "Old Hick
ory." James Buchanan was
sixty-six, being next to the first
Harrison, the senior in the list of
Chief Magistrates of the nation.
The longest lived of the Pres
idents was the first Adams, who
succumbed to general debility at
ripe age of ninety years. The
youngest to die was General Gar
field, who died by the assassin's
bullet when he was forty-nine.
The next youngest was his suc
cessor, General Arthur, who
came to a natural death when
aged fifty -one. President Mc
Kinley was fifty-eight when laid
low by his anarchist murderer.
The only living ex-President is
Mr. Cleveland, who is in robust
health at the age of sixty-four.
Vice Presidents who have at
tained the Presidency besides
those who reached the office
through the death of their pred
ecessor were John Adams, Thom
as Jefferson and Martin Van
Bureu, all of whom were elected
after having filled entire terms in
the second place.
All of the Presidents who suc
ceeded through the death of their
predecessors, namely, Tyler,
Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur,
werecandidates forrenomination,
but- all failed in their ambition.
Fillmore at a subsequent period
was nominated by the American
party in the quadrangular cam
paign which resulted in the first
election of Lincoln. The Pres
idents who have striven for re
election after having served full
terms and been rejoiced by the
arbitrament of the ballot were
John Adams, his son, John Quin
cy Adams; Martin Van Buren.
General Benjamin Harrison and
Grover Cleveland. The last nam
ed was defeated in his second
campaign, but was victorious in
the third. The only avowed can.
didato for a third term in the
Presidency was General Grant,
who was defeated in the Repub
lican couvontion of 1880, after a
memorable conflict. Presideut
Franklin Pierce was defeated fur
renomination by the Democratic
convention of 1656. George Wash
ington, the first President, pub
licly refused a third term, and
his example, followed twelve
years later by Tnomas Jefferson,
became a precedent that has not
since been violated.
Indians Long Lived.
The Gcivermacutccnsus takers,
who have just completed the cen
sus cf the Indian tribes of the
Iudiau Territory, report a num
ber of long-lived people who re
side in that section of the coun
try. They say that the Indian
lives to an older age than any
other class of people on earth.
Many of them attain the ago of
125 years, while a 100-year-old
Indian is nothing out of the ordi
nary. White Horse, a mediciuc chief
of the Otoos, is now 101 years old
and says that ho feels as young
as when he chased cowboys and
soldiers 50 years ago. To prove
his assertion he is now planning
a 1000-mile trip across the coun
try to visit some of r.is warrior
friends. He is a great medicine
man among theOtoes and is their
ambassador to the Great Spirit,
to whom he makes ft equeut trips,
according to himself. He also
leads in the violent medicine
dances and makes medicine the
saiuo as he did when ho was a
young chief.
Another aged Indian is Look
ing Glass, a Cheyenne warrior.
He will soon bo 105 years old.
He was with Sitting Bull, the
great Sioux warrior, in most of
his raids, and he has passed
through seven Indian wars. He
says that he does not remember
just how many white persons ho
has killed, but that it must be ov
er 100. His eyesight is keen and
his hearing is excellent. He
does not speak tho English lan
guage. $
Nancy Jacobs is a Choctaw
woman 100 years of age, who lives
in the woods near Antlers. She
was a cook for tho white soldiers
during the civil war and remem
bers all of the big generals and
commanders of the Southern
forces. She has a married daugh
ter Go years of age, who lives near
by. The old woman has outlived
three husbands and still does her
own cooking and housekeeping.
Among tho Apaches there are
ten or twelve women who have
passed the 100 year period. One
of the cruel features of the
Apache home life is that when a
woman has passed her period of
usefulness about the house she is
; taken into the country and left
alone by the roadside to die. The
white people have talked the
Apaches nearly out of this cruel
way of treating the old, but in
some families they yet believe
that it is the right way to treat
the infirm.
Tot Causes Night Alarm.
"One night my brother's baby
was taken with Croup," writes
Mrs. J. C. Snider, of Crittenden,
Ky., "it seemed it would strangle
before we could get a doctor, so
we gave it Dr. King's New Dis
covery, which gave quick relief
and permanently cured it. We
always koep it in the house to
protect our children from Croup
and Whooping Cough. It' cured
me of a chronic bronchial trouble
that no other remedy would re
lievo." Infallible for Coughs,

It is only two months before
the.demand for turkeys will be
heavy, and any card giveu the
growing turkeys, or even : the
adults, will pay w.ien the birds
reach tho market. Turkeys will
not thrive if closely confined, and
they prefer high places for roost
ing. They frequently become
lame by alighting from the high
limbs to the ground, for which
reason they should have a high
roosting shod when young, so as
to bo taught to prefer such roost
to the trees. " Young turkeys
sometimes die of what is termed
vertigo, but usually the difficulty
is that the large gray lice are at
work on the skins of the heads,
necks and bodies, tho birds being
tormented to death. A few drops
of melted lard on the heads once
a week is an excellent preventive
and remedy for the large lice.
"I had long suffered from in
digestion," writes (. A. LePels,
Cedar City, Mo. "Like others I
tried many preparations but nev
er found anything that did me
good until I took Kodol Dyspep
sia Cure. One bottle cured me.
A friend who had suffered simi
larly I put on the use of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. Ho is gaining
fast and will soon bo able to work.

WILL BE BETTER.
Sunday North American Announces It Will
Maintain High Standard of First Issue.
All records, both as to quality
of matter and number of sales,
were broken by the Sunday
North American last Sunday,
when its first issue was offered to
the public. In each of scores of
Pennsylvania towns several hun
dred more copies might have
been sold if the supply had been
equal to the demand. There was
a great curiosity to see what tho
first number would bo, and news
dealers everywhere report "clean
sales."
Curiosity is quite as strong in
regard to tho next Sunday North
American. The question is this
Will it maintain the pace and
keep the high standard set in its
first issue? The assurance is
given out that next Sunday's pa
per will be even better than the
initial number.
The sheet music supplement,
which is printed on heavy paper
and is in every way equal to the
music purchased in stores, will
be "Ida ilroni Idaho," by John H.
Flyuu, tho author of that great
success, "Annie Moore." This
new song is just as catchy as the
one which the people of the Uni
ted States are now singing and
whistling.
In the Woman's Supplement,in
beautiful colors, are illustrated
pages of new fall jackets and
some of the latest mourning cos-
tumes; the very latest silk waists,
which will interest those who
make their own clothes; Marion
Harland has some good new
cooking recipes, and discourses
on household topics, including
the care of children; Mrsl Henry
Symes gives many more recipes
for beauty, and tells how to ac
quire health by new breathing
exercises; McDougall contributes
wonderful stories for children,
besides which there is a puzzle
picture and some interesting il
lustrations. In the comic supplement there
is an. excruciating funny series
by Walt McDougall, called "How
Bims Lost the election." There
are other comic sketches in colors
to excite hilarity, and two pages
of short humorous prose written
by the men who have made
"Puck," "Life," and "Judge" fa
mous. The cover of the twelve page
magazine shows Pope Leo and his
"Cabinet" It is a wonderful
ly striking color page and will at
tract national attention. There
are ten more pages of attractive
ly illustrated and genuinely inter
esting news features.
What to do with the coal ashes
is a problem with some. 'They
are of little or no value as a ferti
lizer, but can be used with ad
vantage on roads or paths. The
ashes may be spread and a. little
soil thrown over them.when they
will soon harden. Another plan
is to level tho walkway, excavat
ing a few inches below the gener
al surface, pour on a coating of
coal tar and then cover thickly
with ashes.. When dry repeat
with more coal tar and ashes un
til three or four coatings are giv
en. In a short time the walkway
will be as hard as stone.

The calf should bo gently han
dled from the start. The future
disposition of the cow depends
upon her treatment when young.
To make a gentle milker the calf
should never receive a blow or a
harsh word, in order that it may
have confidence in the attendants,
and it will not thereafter bo ner
vous. It should be rubbed,
brushed, petted and fed from tho
hand and the teats and udder
frequently handled. It is easier
to break in a calf than to worry
with a vicious cow.
A Fiendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on
C. F. Collier of Cherokee, Iowa,
that nearly proved fatal. It came
through his kidney9. His back
got so lame he could not stoop
without great pain, nor sit in a
chair except propped by cush
ions. No remedy helped him un
til he tried Electric Bitters which
effected such a wonderful change
that he writes he feels like a new
man. This marvelous medicine
cures backache and kidney troub
le, purifies the blood and builds
up your health. Only 50c at W.
S. Dickson's Drug Store.
Onions keep best in a dry loca
tion, dampness being injurious.
If they become frozen they should
be kept so, or thawed very slow
ly. They should not be stored
in boxes or barrels, but in shal
low receptacles. If spread out
on the floor of tho garret or barn
loft and covered with hay or
straw when frozen they should
keep in sound condition until
spring.

The old saying is that the trees
