After dinner comes the promenade along the esplanade, a charming walk around the old battery overlooking the prison, says the Catholic World. Our way borders the sea; behind us lies the city, with its Moorish towers, its red tiled roofs; back of it rises Mount Ancon; to our left is the little Indian hamlet of La Boca, at the mouth of the liio Grande, and the green hills of the Andes in the distance; along the horizon oceanward stretches the bay. What words can describe it? A study In color as the rays of the setting sun turn to crimson, green and gold its islands; the stately palmetto trees that fringe its banks, the white beach and far away the ancient towers of Sau Anastasius. sole landmark of the ones beautiful city of old Panama. The story of this beautiful city, old Panama, reads like one of the ro mances from the "Arabian Nights" that so delighted our childhood. Its houses of aromatic wood, hung with costly tapestries, adorned with paintings and sculptures that a king might envy; Its 800 magnificent churches, with their services of silver and gold, their fres coes of pearls and precious stones; its pleasure gardens; its broad driveways, chief of which was the king's high way, over which the royal horses bore the treasures I<> Puerto Bello and the ships ready to sail with them to Spain. Into the midst of this Asiatic splendor came Morgan and his buccaneers, and this struggle, one of Hie most memora ble on our continent, the first of white against white, led to the destruction of the flower of Spanish chivalry and the capture of Panama. So pass the glo ries of the world! SWIMMERS' CRAMP. It In Not So Verj IlmiKeroiiH if the Victim \Viil Keep Cool. If swimmers could be trained to keep cool under all circumstances, there would be comparatively little drown ing among bathers and summer pleas ure seekers. Cramp is usually assigned as the cause when some good swimmer drowns. But cramp ought in reality to be nothing serious. I sually is affects only an arm <>r a leg <>r maybe only a hand or foot. Any moderately good swimmer can keep afloat with one arm or even without I lie use of that, yet good swimmers drown often as a result of cramp. If sueli fatalities were ana lyzed, they would lie more properly classed as drowning from fright and loss of nerve. This comes from the fact that every one is taught In childhood to fear the water and comes as a grown man and a swimmer to fear cramp. The average opinion is that the man who is attacked when swim ming In deep water is as good as drowned. Therefore, when a swimmer feels a leg or arm begin to cramp he is frightened in most eases entirely out of his wits. He loses his head, begins to splash and paw and struggle and then goes down. What the swimmer should remember Is that he can keep afloat with very, very little effort if he will turn on his back and keep his chest inflated. It is the simple matter of floating, which every swimmer knows and finds very easy. If the swimmer will keep cool and float, the cramping limb will fre quently relax after a little and he will find himself as well as ever. Outing. Pnt'n Tnnlile. Pat had come over to America with the expectation of finding money lying around loose, only waiting for some oue to pick It up. Of course this was long ago. Pat had soon become disil lusionized and was always glad to get hold of odd jobs which would net him a little something to help him keep body and soul together. Finally, be coming tired of tlie struggle, he de cided to end it all ami was very indus triously tying a rope around his waist when his landlord happened in on him. After watching him curiously for a few minutes lie asked: "What's up, Pat? What are you try ing to do?" "Troyln' to choke meself, av coorse," was Pat's answer. "Choke yourself? You can't do it that way. You'll have to put the rope around your neck." "Sure an' I tliried tliot, but I couldn't breathe."—New York Times. On Sore Ground. A well known artist overheard a countryman and his wife ridiculing his picture, which represented a farm scene. He was so indignant that he at last interposed with the remark: "That painting is valued at £IOO. Allow me to ask if you are familiar with works of art?" "Not very familiar wlUi art," replied the farmer, "but I know something about nature, young man. When you make a cow that gets up from the ground by putting her fore feet first, you do something that nature never did."—London Answers. PLACEBO PRESCRIPTIONS. An Old Duotur Tell* a Secret of Ilia I'rofeMNlon. "Never tell a patient tlmt there Is nothing the matter with him," saiil the t>hl doctor, who was revealing the se crets of his profession. "If you do, yon make a lifelong enemy and lose your patient, who sends for another doctor. Olve him something, if it is only flavor ed water. If the disease is only imagi nary, cure the imagination with a harmless dose, and your patient gets well. In the profession wc call such prescriptions 'placebos,' and more won derful cures are effected by placebos than the world wots of. So, also, when yrtu run across a patient who an nounces the first thing that he cannot take certain sorts of medicine, don't tell him he must. Agree with him and give him the medicine, if he needs it, In a disguised form. "There are thousands of people who labor under the conviction that they cannot take quinine and will tell you that they have never taken it in their lives, while at the same time they may be taking large doses of it. The taste of quinine is hard to disguise, but if administered in a pill the patient can lie made to take it and never suspect what he has swallowed. The trouble Is the patient is apt to recognize a quinine pill by Its appearance, to sus pect, bite into the pill and thus dis cover your ruse. To obviate this diffi culty druggists now have pills of qui nine made In odd shapes and colors, rink pills, containing nothing but qui nine and a little harmless coloring mat ter, are a favorite form for use in cases where an a tiquiulne crank has to be medicated. In giving a placebo It is not wise to have it taste too well. The pa tient is aj>t to suspect if you do. And be sure that you gravely Impress upon the patient that only a teaspoonful is to be taken at a time and that at stated intervals. The whole virtue of a place bo exists in the solemnity and impor tance with which you surround it."— Now York I'ress. FLOWER AND TREE. Salpiglossis Is a pretty, showy an nual, easy to raise and worth}' a place in the garden. The birch grows farther north than any other tree. Next comes the Si berian larch and then the fir. The dark spot in the center of a bean blossom is the nearest approach to black that occurs in any flower. Sunflowers may be transplanted quite easily if the work is done on a rainy day or in the cool of the evening. Preserve a green lawn in the center of the garden, however small. This Is needed to set off the flowers and for purposes of relief. Mignonette is so unobtrusive that its presence is often betrayed by its sweet scent merely, but a large bed of mi gnonette should be in every garden. Dissolve fresh lime in water, allow sediment to settle and saturate earth in which small, white worms have been noticed with the clear solution thus made. That "it is never too late to set out roses" is a true word about gardening. But "the earlier the better, so long as the frost is out of the ground," is a maxim no less worthy of dependence. A Spiny Mounter. For sheer ferocity of appearance, un redeemed by any milder facial attri butes, a lizard called after "Moloch hor rid king" Moloch horridus is pre-emi nent among reptiles. The body of this Australian reptile Is so covered with spines that, as it has been put, nature seems to have endeavored to ascertain how many spines could be inserted on a given area. Isut, unlike its tutelary deity, who seems really to have spelled himself Moleeh, the lizard does not de maud the blood of children. It is, In deed, vegetarian and only fiery In that it has a curious faculty of absorbing and drying up water. A specimen placed in a shallow dish was observed to attract the water like a piece of blotting paper.—Westminster Gazette. Ancient Trndea I'niou*. Seven thousand years ago there were trades unions in Nineveh and Babylon, and so strict were their rules that in some cases the penalty of death was inflicted for infringing them. Each man's work was strictly defined, and even the number of hours that he was allowed to work was stated in the charter of his guild or union. Later exactly the same state of affairs ex ists in Pompeii, and inscriptions have been discovered stating specific ap pointments of ottieials to trades unions. The most powerful of these appears to have been that of the Fishermen's guild. Deceptive. "Dey oughter pass a law," said Hun gry Iliggins, nursing his leg, "ter com pel people ter call delr dogs be appro priate names." "Wot's de matter now?" Inquired Dusty Rhoads.

A FIRST CLASS ATTRACTION. Robert B. Mantell and an Excellent, Com pany Tomorrow iNiugi. Robert B. Mantel 1 anrl a company of players will be at the Opera House tomorrow night in"The Dagger and The Cross," It is a dramatization of Joseph Hutton's novel by W. A. Tre mayne, and is given in five acts. The production has been eminently success ful, and Mr. Mantell has reason to be happy that he lias obtained a play suited to 11is romantic style of acting, and containing so much interest that one's attention is held throughout the development of the plot. Briefly, the story is as follows: —Bernardo Rou billac, a noted Italian painter, is tor mented by the attentions paid to his beautiful young wife by Giovanni Zilletto, sculptor and noted rogue. The young woman despises the man at first but she feels herself drawn to him by his hypnotic power, and in spite of her natural inclination to repulse him yields to his caresses. She tells her husband of the evil spell the man ex erts over her.and to escape his designs the husband and wife leave their home in Venice and goto England. Zilletto follows them there, but a young Eng lish girl, Mary Talbot, becomes the object of his attentions for a time. Zilletto agrees to no longer pay his attentions to Bernardo's wife, if the Italian will consent to impersonate a priest and marry him to Mary Talbot. To rid himself of his tormentor Bern ardo accepts the proposition, and in less than a week Zilletto has violated his obligations. Bernardo kills him and flees the country. The crime is charged to lieuhen Clegg, a former suitor of Mary Talbot. He is sent enced to death. Bernardo's wife lies dying and she compels him to confess his sin to a priest and make atonement for bis crime. Bernardo, as a penance, is directod to return to the scene of the murder and confess to the people his awful crime, and save the young Englishman from the death penalty. Holding in his hand the dagger with which he took Zilletto's life, reversed as a sign of the cross, he makes his way baHc to England and there con fesses his guilt. It is the time of the black plague,and he dies ol the disease immediately afterward. Oriental Burlesquers. The attraction at the Opera House on Saturday evening will bo the ORIENTAL BITRLESQUERS headed by the celebrated comedians Terrill it Simon.

For the finale the entire company will appear in a laughable burlesque, in troducing many new songs. Mrs. Henry Bierman of Bloomsburg returned home yesterday after a visit in this city.

One of the best ways of noting changes in silage is to l:eep tif.ek of the acidity. If the acidity of the material increases to any great extent, it is a sure indication that many changes have taken place in the silage in the silo; if the acidity does not increase then but few changes have taken place. Tlie silage coming from the steamed silos was sweet and had undergone very little change since putin as green fodder. On opening one of the experimental silos after removing the surface foot of moldy silage the remainder of the silage was sweet and bright and had a most pleasant odor, not at all like ordinary silage.
