The man who calls out in the morn

Isn't, simply lies in bed.
The most disgraceful sight ono
over sees in this town is a number of
young boys, not yet in theli teens,
with cigarettes in their mouths. A
boy behind a cigarette is a fit subject
for the reform school.
From every view point the farming
class of this country is In better
shape now than at any period since
the Civil war. More people own their
own homes and little farms; more are
free from tho yoke of bondage in
flicted by burdensome debts; more
are becoming independent each year
by making a comfortable living for
their families; more are waking up
to the necessity of giving their chil
dren better educational advantages,
and withal, prosperity and content
ment seem to prevail throughout the
country. Let progress still be our
watchword.

These are the days when the dis
contented farmer's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of moving. The
great railway systems of the west
flood the mails with manuals setting
forth the beauties and virtues of this
and that region, each claiming' to be
par-excellence the home-seeker's
paradise. Agriculture has in this
aspect taken the place of mining. In
former times the "new country" that
offered the most attractions to set
tlers from a distance, was that in
which gold was taken out of tho
ground in big yellow nuggets or
infinitesimal dust; in these later days
the search is still for a quick fortune,
but the medium exploited Is the

are shown, projected against fields of
heavy-headed grain, trees groaning
under apples and peaches proportion
ately as large as watermelons, and
tho cattle of a thousand hills grouped
in a pen by the side of the railroad,
awaiting rapid shipment to markets
where buyers stand in line, longing
for the chance to draw fat checks in
payment. While these pictures at

HIXT FOR TIIK TOWX COUNCIL.
Dry calcium chloride is being used
in Syracuse, Long Branch and a few
other cities for keeping the dust laid.
Tho result of the experiments is
spoken of as satisfactory by the
Municipal Journal and Engineer.
Calcium chloride is a deliquescent
salt, and a macadamized street treat
ed with it does not dry so long ns
tho chemical stays ln it and there is
any moisture in the atmosphere. It
is estimated that four applications
would be ample for a season of eight
months.
Calcium chloride costs $13 a ton,
and ono pound per square yard Is re
quired for the first treatment and a
half pound a square yard for suc
ceeding applications.
Tho Municipal Journal and Engi
neer says: "The chloride gives the
street a white appearanco; to a per
son standing at a distance it looks as
white as a roadway after a heavy
snowfall of Bay five minutes. The
close observer can see that the pro
cess of absorbing moisture begins at
once. Small particles accidentally
scattered on tho sidewalk attract
moisture and show Hko drops of wa
ter. In ten to fifteen minutes the
general appearanco of tho street
changes; the larger particles still are
visible, but tho "pulverized chemical
has disappeared and tho ground has
a dark appearance, indicating moist

A Wandering Lake.
Lake Nor, In tin Tnbi deycrt, in
south western Aula, whlih has been
called the "wandering lake." presents
a phenomenon about which contra
dictory views have been entertained.
Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sven
Uedln has given the most plausible
explanation touching this phenomenon.
It appears, according to that explor
er, that the Turlm river, entering the
lake from the west, brings down dur
ing the period of high water late lu
summer a great quantity of salt,
which has the effect of driving the lake
lying on tho level floor of the desert
toward the southeast. But the sum
mer wind, drifting the surface sand
and darkening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast,
and It, too, tends to drive the lake be
fore ll. The combined effect of the
urging by the wind nnd the river Is
to force the lake southward. Yet It
Is thought the migration of thc lake
is not constant iu direction, but It
shifts back and forth Intermittently,
according as the circumstances change.
She Forgot.
At 3 o'clock the ubsentmlnded wo
man left home with an umbrella. At
the subway station she concluded It
wouldn't rain and left the umbrella
with the corner newsdealer. When
sjiu cntne back at 0 o'clock It was
raining. Boys with umbrellas to rent
darted toward her when she appeared
nt the head of the subway stairs. She
paid one boy 10 cents to escort her
home. Then she remembered her own
umbrella. Sheltered by a borrowed
umbrella, she went back to get It. The
newsdealer looked uneasy.
"Just a minute," he said. "Oh, Tom,
come here!"
A small boy dodged around the cor
ner of the stand and handed over a
dripping umbrella. The ubsentmlnded
woman looked at the boy; she looked
at the umbrella. She recognized both.
"Idiot!" she said. "I paid that boy
10 cents for taking me home with my
own umbrella." New York Press.
The Amen of Nature.
Do you ever wonder why poets talk
so much nboul flowers? Did you ever
hear of a poet who did not talk about
them? Don't you think a poem which,
for the sake of being original, should
leave them out would be like those
verses where the letter a or e or some
other Is omitted? No; they will bloom
over and over again in poems as iu
tho summer fields, to the end of time,
always old and always new. Why
should wo bo more shy of repeating
ourselves than the spring bo tired of
blossoms or the night of stars? Look
at nature. She never wearies of say
ing over her floral paternoster. In the
crevices of cyclopean walls, In the dust
where men lie, dust nlso; on tho
mounds that bury huge cities, tho Birs
Nemroud and the Babel heap, still that
same sweet prayer and benediction.
Tho amen of nature is always a flow

Wonderful Victoria Falls.
"It Is well nigh impossible to de
scribe n scene of such wonder, such
wlldness," nays Lndy Sarah Wilson In
her "South African Memories" of tho
Victoria fulls. But she gives this
graphic description: "Standing on a
point flush with the river beforo It
makes Its headlong leap, we gazed
first on the swirling water losing It
self In snowy spray which beat re
lentlessly on face and clothes while
the great volume was noisily disap
pearing to unknown and terrifying
depths. The sightseer tries to look
across, to strain his eyes and to see
beyond that white mist which ob
scures everything, but It is an Impos
sible tusk, and he can but guess tho
width of the falls, slightly horseshoe
iu shape, from the green trees which i
seem so far uwny on tho opposite
bunk and are only caught sight i f ,
now nnd then as the wind causes tho
spray to lift. At the same time his
attention Is fixed by n new wonder
tho much talked of rainbow. Never
varying, never changing, that perfect
shnped arc Is surely more typical of
eternltv there than anywhere else."
