Attention! Music Lovers of Dalton.
Violin and Piano. I
Prof. Grunitz, the well known pro
fessional musician, teacher and di
rector, can place a few more scholars
who are anxious to commence the
study, and other advanced scholars
in need of a thorough and complete
knowledge of the fundamental prin
ciples of music. "Said branch, which 1
is the most important in the study
of music, is very much neglected, due
to the insufficient amount of study
and knowledge obtainable in a small
town, consequently the scholars, as
well as the advanced pupils trying
to prepare to teach, must put up with
|what they can get.
Now anybody that wishes to com
mence the study of music or perfect i
same on a sound basis, whether a be
ginner. advanced player or teacher.
Prof. Grunitz will be pleased to meet
them all, whether a decision for les
sons is made or not. This is one of
your chances which won't happen all
the time.

VANISHING LIGHT.
rpHE days are growing shorter.
It seems almost a crime
To have the long light evenings
With us so little time.
And, creeping slowly southward,
The sun throughout July
Is clipping each day's edges.
Alas, how time does fly!
So very short the season
Since we were feeling |»ay
While looking out with pleasure
Upon a lengthening day.
The time when we were saying,
“My, this Is a delight
And really something like it
To eat without a light!”
"Tls thus as though on rollers
Our days serenely glide
Or as a baseball player
In running makes a slide.
They come, and In the morning
We tumble from our bed,
And ere we look about us
We find that day has fled.
And so the hours are speeding
Like rumbling railway trains.
And we grow old and grouchy
And stiff and full of pains.
One week succeeds another, -
Thus piling up the years.
There is no way to stop them
With coaxing, force or tears.

“What do you want for them

“You can’t get something for noth

isn’t true any more.”
“Is that so, smartie? Maybe you
can point to an instance.”
“Sure I can. What wouid you call it

Cousin Charley, from the rural dis

“We must take him to the theater,

“Oh. certainly.”
“And couldn’t we manage to get him
behind the stage?” asked Clara.
“Would he enjoy It?”
“I don’t know, but be would so nice
ly match the greenroom.”
Her Answer.
The wild wave said to the pebble.
The only one on the beach.
In a piping, childish treble:
“You certainly are a peach.
And how I like to kiss you
As I glide, swift, over the sand!
Were you gone how I would miss you!
How then the strand!’’
And the smooth and shining pebble
With its polished face and fair —
None knew her for a rebel—
Replied with an Innocent air,
“You aren’t the first, O water.
Since first old time has flown
Who has asked of earth’s fair daugh
ter
And, asking, received a stone!”
Double Attraction.
“How would you like to teach school

“Fine.”
“And board around?”

FIGHTING FEVERS.
Why Vigorous Measures Are Neces
sary In Cases of Sunstroke.
A clinical thermometer is proba
bly as matter of course a household
convenience in most families as is a
stepladder or a broom, and it is
well that its use and the general sig
nificance of its disclosures should
be understood by those in authority,
but fussiness and constant resort to
it and continual discussion of tem
peratures are to be deplored.
The old fashioned way of placing
the hand upon the child’s body and
announcing that it felt feverish
or had a fever without any re
gard to mathematical accuracy as
to degrees and fractions worked
just as well as, perhaps better than,
the new fashioned way carried to a
nervous extreme. At the same time
a rise of temperature always means
something, and it most decidedly
means the calling in of a physician
if it does not go down of itself or
yield to simple remedies.
When the temperature is taken
by the mouth the thermometer
should register about 98.? de
grees, although this may vary at
different times during the day in
perfectly well people. When it reg
isters 99 degrees or 99.5 degrees
the person is said to be feverish.
Anything below 9S degrees is sub
normal, and anything over 105 de
grees is called hyperpyrexia, or high
fever.
In many cases fevers are a sort of
blessing in disguise. These are the
fevers caused by the toxins of bac
teria, of which typhoid is a type.
The whole system is then engaged
in a fight against the germs, and the
battle is waged to more advantage
apparently when “the blood is fight
ing hot.” This is why, although the
fever can be beaten down by the ap
plication of cold and the adminis
tration of drugs, it is often poor
practice to suppress it in this way.
Getting the fever down may be a
momentary satisfaction, but it does
nothing to help cure the underlying
cause. It is as if a general should
insist upon silencing his own guns.
At the same time the fever must
be watched and kept in check, be
cause this sort of fight is calling for
an immense outlay from the system,
and a raging fever not only burns
up bacteria, but it feeds upon tissue
. and blood and all it can find, as any
. one can testify who has watched or
lived through a convalescence from
’ one.
1 What is true of the fever of a
germ disease is false altogether in
1 the fever of sunstroke. In this
case the fever is the disease. It is
not a regiment of infantry, but a
conflagration, and it must be put
out as quickly as possible and by all
the means at one’s disposal—cold
baths, ice packs, ice water, anything
that will beat it down.
The character of a fever is a great
assistance to diagnosis in many
cases,, and this is why a physician
should always be asked to sit in
judgment on it. —Youth’s Compan

His Depressor.
He was handsome, young, talent
ed. He had apparently everything
one could wish for as a start in life,
but every time he came into a room
where there were mirrors he absorb
ed himself in contemplation of the
back of his head.
“That spot is getting thinner and
thinner,” he complained when he
called on the woman and sat down
after looking at it in all the mirrors
in her flat. “Don’t make any differ
ence what I do with it, it keeps on
getting larger. I’ve tried every
thing, rubbing it with kerosene,
with hair tonics; can’t do a thing
with it.”
“It’s just as well,” she consoled
him. “If you didn’t have that little
bald spot to keen you humiliated
there’d be no associating with you.”
—New Y’ork Press.
A Case For Sympathy.
Two matrons of a certain western
city, whose respective matrimonial
1 ventures did not in the first in
stance prove altogether satisfactory,
• met at a woman’s club one day,
when the first matron remarked:
“Hattie, I met your ‘ex,’ dear old
Tom, the day before yesterday. We
talked much of you.”
“Is that so?” asked the other
matron. “Did he seem sorry when
1 you told him of my second mar
riage ?”
“Indeed he did and said so most
frankly.”
“Honest ?”
“Honest! He said he was ex
, tremely sorry, though, he added, he
didn’t know the man personally.”—
