SMITH A 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. He Was On. “What do you want for them stamps’’ asked the gentleman from Jayviile, looking over a collection of rare denominations. “Twenty-five dollars for the lot,” re plied the dealer. “Come on, Maria. lie is trying to bunko us. Them has all been can celed.’’ Beats the Game. “You can’t get something for noth ing,” said the philosopher of the com monplace, looking for all the world as though he had made an original dis covery. “That might have been so once,” said the nifty young person, “but it isn’t true any more.” “Is that so, smartie? Maybe you can point to an instance.” “Sure I can. What wouid you call it when a lazy person gets wbat's com ing to him?" Neat Fit. Cousin Charley, from the rural dis tricts, was visiting them, and during his temporary absence they were dis cussing ways of entertaining him. “We must take him to the theater, of course.” “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 in the country, Millie?” “Fine.” “And board around?” “That would bo the best part of it There would be such a variety.” “Os victuals?” “No; of young men.” Short End. “1 wonder why so many women are •o discontented.” | “Probably because of their hus bands.” “How is that?” | ‘They are so contented.” j PERT PARAGRAPHS. Ignorance of the law excuses no one but the judge. The good old Summer Time Is a lady that takes the opportunity to throw bouquets at herself. A soft answer tumeth away wrath, but not the young man. Since flies have been adjudged un desirable citizens everybody is endeav orlng to screen them. A razor and the man who uses it should have a good temper. Housekeeping Is one of the most un appreciated jobs that a sane individual ever got up against. If you don’t believe that riches have wings ask the flying Inventor. 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 ion. 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.”— Lippincott’s. Pat’s App-aciat'ron. An artist had finished a land . scape On looking up he beheld an Irish navvy gazing at his canvas. “Well,” said the artist familiarly, “do you suppose you could make a l picture like that?” The Irishman mopped hi 9 forehead a moment. “Sure, a man c’n do anny thing if 1 he’s druv to ut!” he replied.—Lon don Telegraph.
