- / A hujT'S VACATION TIME. rfail, that Iona awaiteil day When, the scnnol books laid away. All the thoughts ot merry youngsters turn from pages back to play! Done with lesson and with rule. Done with teacher and with school. Stray (he vagrant hearts of childhood to the tempting wood and pool! Who will tell in runo ami rhyme Of the glory and the grime In the dusty lanes and byways of a boy’* vacation lime? Dark, the whistle and the cry That is piping shrill and high From the chorus of glad youngsters troop ing riotously by! Say, did stin e'er brightly shine As when, with his rod and line i ramps the barefoot lad a’tishing, and the water clear and fine! .‘sweet the murmur of the trees. And what glory now he sees In the clatter of the wild birds and the buzz of bumble bees! Hear the green woods cry and ca.., ‘i hrough the summer to the fall, “We are waiting, waiting, waiting, with a welcome for you all!" Hear the lads take up the cry. With an echo, shrill and high; “We are coming, coming, coming, for vaca tion time is nigh!" How the skies are blue and fair, How the clover scent# the air With a witchery of fragrance that is deli cate and rare! How the blossoms bud and blow. And the great waves flood and flow In the ocean of boy-happiness, like billows, to and fro! Ah, my heart goes back and sighs When the piping calls and cries From the hearts of merry youngsters like a song of triumph rise!

Four Facts For Side Women To Considez 'r Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg*table Compound Has an Uncquallsd Record of Cures— Mrs. Vinkham’s Advice Is Confiden tial, Free, and always Helpful DEERSKIN BILL’S STORY. uy Theodore r. jenness. UUINti a visir iu Denver, Jg some mouths ngo, my nt- Q I/O tentlou was attracted one morning by a sound of fOW' lively greeting on (be piazza just below my chamber window. The next moment Bessie Leveret’s face gleamed iu upon me as she eagerly exclaimed: "Come down, please do. He’s here, and there’ll be such exciting talk!" Descending, I found iny three young cousins gathered about the queerest, jolliest-looking man it has ever been my good fortune to behold. A glance showed me that he was the famous Rocky Mountaineer, whose praises had been rung Into my ears ever since my arrival at the beautiful city which guarded the entrance to the eternal hills. “Cousin," Bessie said, with charm ing dignity, “allow me to introduce to you our particular friend, Deerskin Pill." Repressing r. smile at the deferential manner with which Bessie uttered the suggestive title, I advauced and bowed to the distinguished mountaineer. Doffing his fur cap wilh awkward courtesy, Deerskin Bill responded: “Sarvice, ma'am. I hope’s the snow storm up in the mountains bes not dis commoded ye iu pcrtlc’lar wise. Do ye mind the pecooliar glistenin' white ness thot lays down around old Bald? Kf ther haiu’t fell live foot o’ snow up ther since yislerday morn I’ll never shoot a mountain sheep ag’in." IVe turned our eyes toward the snowy range, stretching white and grand above the misty bine enshroud ing the lower hills. The soft Septem ber sunshine sifted through the clear, thin air about us. suggesting scarcely a hint of the eternal winter teigniug just above. In the distance Pike’s Peak, *he highest summit of the rocky moun tains, touched the sky in lonely grandeur. “Five years ago I saw the sunrise up ther on Pike’s Peak on New Year’s morn, and ’twas w’uth rememberin'. I was huntin’ a blnek-tnUed deer up ther, but when the sun riz I forgot the deer, and bless me ef I’ve remembered him to this day.” This speech was greeted by a hurst of laughter from the children. “Well, Jack,”^Dick Leveret said, “let’s see if you" can remember what happened to you one time while you were driving stage to Pike’s Pe^k ever so many years ago.” “Happened?—there was so many things thet I must stop and think,” returned Deerskin Bill, forgetfully. “Do ye mean when the avalanche slid down on me, or the bosses broke loose and percipitated the stage into the gulch, or the big b’ar planted himself across the road in front o’ me, or the Rocky Mountain ghost came down the canyon ” “No, no,” interrupted Dick, with something like contempt, “all those will do for commonplace adventures, but we want cousin to hear the real hair-raising Indian story—how they burned you and Willie at the stake, you know.” The children had heard the story many times before, but an expression of resolute endurance closely re sembling torture crept iuto their young faces as they prepared to listen again to Deerskin Bill’s adventure with the Indians. “Ye see ’twas years before the Kan sas Pacific Railroad stretched through the ‘Golden Belt,’ w’hich means the finest wheat country in the world. Western Kansas was a howlin’ wilder ness, and Denver was nothin’ but a tradin’ post when I used to come and git pervisions and sich, and I’m sorry to say, whisky, which the miners round Pike’s Peak hed ordered, and it seemed to be my dooty to transport. I used to jrive four mules and four bosses, and when the road was dangerous the mules went ahead and picked the way, but when ’twas even ground and 1 wanted to make quick time, I gin the bosses tire lead, and neater-footed crit ters it hes never been my Jot to wave the ribhins over. “Waal, as I was about to start on my route one mornin’ with a -deep load o’ pervisions and whisky, but nary a passenger, ther suddintly appeared afore me a boy with yaller hair, and eyes the color o’ you sky thet tips down sideways to the snowy range. “‘Wher, in the name of all thet’s bright and shinin’, do you hail from?’ I axed, with wonder and amazement. “ ‘Came across the plains with an emigrant train,’ he answered, with a mournful kind o’ smile. ‘Am goin’ to Jike's Peak to search for father, who came out here two yearbs ago and hes not been heard from only onct. Mother’s pinin’ away with grief and suspense, so I’m goin’ to try to find out somethin’ sartint.’ “Thet was the boy’s meanin,’ hut the bootiful soft voice and nice smooth words ’(won't he expected of Deerskin Bill to imitate. “Waal, I learnt while we was on the jog thet the missiu’ father of the purty boy was one o’ them knowin’ fellows w’at spends his life a-huntin’ bugs, and stones, and other curious thiugs.” “a naturalist,” I said, seeing the mountaineer hesitate for an appropri ate word witii which to express his meaning. “Kcrzaotly. He’d come out to make collections for his curiosity shelf, but, as nigh as I could jedge, he’d been col lected up onto the shelf his-,elf, without no lovin’ friend to drop a tear above his cold remainds. Howsumever, 1 didn’t tell Wi’lie my fears—I hed found out his name was William, and natur ally shortened it down iuto the pet name—hut chirruped up his courage till we reached Lone Gulch, wher the Jnjuus come upon u*. with less warnin' then 1 bev given you in te’hn* of it. “I’d got kinder careless like from makiu’ so many trips and bein’ unmo lested, and when the red demons swarmed upon us like a pack o’ blood thirsty wolves, I was taken by sur prise and hedn’t time to p’int my shootin’-iron afore they hed us in ther clutches. “Aside from the thought he naterally hes about leapin’ off into eternity so suddiut like, it makes a man feel sort o’ sheepish to he tied hand and foot straight up agin’ a tree without the power to move a muscle, when he’s been used to roamin’ to the very pinna cle o’ God’s mountaneous univarse. “The Injuns dressed themselves in red shirts—of which my wagin held a good supply—and piled the brushwood round us till we stood waist-deep iu fagots. “ ‘Willie, my boy,’ sez I, ‘ ’tis all over with us. Ther ain’t no chances left for us.’ ” “Tell us how Willie loooked,” said Bessie, breathless with suspense. “Willie? Waal, ef ever the sperrit of a hero looked out o’ two heavenly blue eyes, ’twas out o’ Ills’ll at thet minute. Straight, and slim and hooti- ful, he stood agin’ the fir tree, wher they bound him facin’ me, lookin’ up beyond the hills, as if expectin’ forti- toode to come down on him from the skies. “ ‘Ef I had only found out what had become o’ father.’ Willie said, ‘and ef it wasn’t for mother watchin’ and weepin’ ’ ” "Oh, Bill, isn’t it time to bring in the whisky?” interrupted little Grace, who could not endure the torture longer. “Tut, tut, sweetheart, ye mustn’t break the plot too suddint,” responded Bill, with mild reproof. “Howsumever, it was jest at this crisis thet one of the savages diskivered the demijohns o’ firewater, which ho wasn’t long in communicatin’ to the remainder o’ the lujins. They began to drink and dance, and drink and dance ag’in, till their fiendish leaps got twisted into boozy staggers, and at last they dropped onto the ground as dead as. wheelspokes for the time bein’. When the last one was fairly down I sez to Willie: “ ‘Could ye by eny means break loose from yer hands?’ ‘Tig. Struggled dpsperntolr but they would not give way, and then his cour age deserted him. When death had stared him in the face he had been resoloot, hut when life hed seemed, about to interfere with the grim mon ster in the hoy’s behalf, and. then hed hacked out ag’in, Willie couldn’t be blamed fer takin’ on a hit. “ T can’t break ’em,’ he said, with a kind o’ sob and wail thet betokened how his hopes had riz only to fall ag’iu. T am bound as fast as yonder rocks thet has stood up agin’ the mount’in side fer ages.’ ” “Now tell us what you did,” said Bessie, seeing the mountaineer hesi tate before going on with the story. “Waal, I sez, ‘Take heart, Willie. I’ll see what I kin do.’ And I begins to saw away upon the bark hands on my wrists.” “Don’t show us the scars, nor tell how much you suffered while you were doing that,” Grace raid, covering up her eyes and shuddering. “Waal, it’s enough to say ’twas a ! tough job, but I wnn’t quite ready to be roasted, and Willie had a mother waitin’ for him back beyond the prairies, so I parsevered till the bands gove way, and when my hands was free I didn’t lose no time in gettin’ out my knife, which the Injins had forgot to rob me of, and cuttin’ off the rest o’ my fetters. Then I walked over to Willie and set him free. “And now comes the most techin’ part o’ the hull story. The boy dropped upon his knees, and sieh i sublime out pourin’ o’ pure thankfulness I never heard. ’Twas enough to hist one right up into glory. But I was obliged to say: 14 ‘Come, Willie, ye kin finish up yer jraiain’ when we git sa/e under old Pike's pertectin’ ribs; ’tain’t best to stop here eny longer.’ ‘So we hitched up the mules and horses, and started on our way.” . 1 ‘‘You’re skipped the best part; how you fixed the rascals before you left them,” Dick said, with boyish anticipa tion of a tragedy. “I don’t know about puttin’ that in every time,” returned Deerskin Bill, reflectively. “ ’Tain't best to indulge a killin’ sperit when ther's a way o gettin’ off without it. ’Tis enough tc say I had a good revolver, and they never kuow’d what hurt ’em. Waal, ! as I was goin’ to say, we started on our way, and reached the mines in safety.” “Now please tell cousin whether j Willie ever found his father,” Bessie said, drawing a long breath of relief os Bill finished his story. “No; he found out from some old miners thet his father had died o’ camp fever shortly after writin’ home the first time. He dropped off suddint like, and no one knowed wher to direct a letter to his family. Willie went back to his mother with the first wagin train thet crossed the plains fer home.” “Did you ever hear anything more of him?” I asked, having felt a deep in terest in the story of the hoy’s devoted pilgrimage in search of his absent father. “Yes: he was out this way two years ago with a lot o’ college hoys. He came in a palace car over the Kansas j Pacific Railroad. A fine contrast to i the way he traveled the fust time, j Willie told me. He is now a perfesser in the same Hue his father tracked i afore him. hut he hasn’t lost his in- nercent-lookin’ face and heavenly-blue eyes, not yit.”—New York Weekly.

Second.—The medicine that holds the record for the largest number of absolute cures of female ills is Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It regulates, strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been helping women to be strong, curing backache, nervousness, kidney troubles, all uter ine and ovarian inflammation, weak ness and displacements, regulating menstruation perfectly and overcom ing its pains. It has also proved itself invaluable in preparing for childbirth and the change of life. Third.—The great volume of unso licited and grateful testimonials on file at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., many of which are from time to time published by permission, give ab solute evidence of the value of L3*dia E.

Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation to Women.—Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs Pink- ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are ■ received, opened, read and answered by women only. From symptoms given, ! your trouble may be located and the ! quickest and surest way of recovery ! advised. Out of fhe vast volume of ex- j pericnce in treating female ills Mrs. i Pinkham probably has the very knowl- I edge that will help j our case. Surely, any woman, rich or poor, is verj r foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. Work for the iusane is a special Rudy at the Villejulf Asylum, Paris. Painting, carving, sketching and even tattooing are included, and recovery is often due to the employment. In other cases the condition of the patient's ; mind is mirrored iu the work done, aid- ! ing the physician in his study of the case more than any amount of discus sion or consultation. The earth's interior, instead of being fluid, is now known to be exceedingly hard and rigid. This is due to the i inconveivable pressure, and Professor T. J. J.

ATE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM Prisoner Stops Trial by Chewing and Swallowing a Forged Check. The Kings county court was thrown into disorder and dismay, says a Seat tle special to the St. Louis Post-Dis patch, when the prisoner at the bar, H. R. McTavish, ate all the evidence in the case on trial. McTavish was being tried on a charge of forging a $15 chock. The check lay on the trial table, marked “exhibit A.” McTavish rat beside his counsel, who was en gaged in cross-examining a witness for the prosecution. The case was going against Mc Tavish when his eye fell on the check, which was about to be introduced in evidence. Like a half-starved man and with a look of hunger in his eye, the prisoner pounced upon “exhibit A” and chewed it to pulp. With soulful satisfaction he gulped it down. . The prosecution w’as in con sternation, for its main piece of evi dence was gone, and demanded that a stomach pump be used forthwith. While the lawyers argued pro and con, the prisoner calmly picked his teeth with a whittled match, plainly the master of the situation. The defense argued that the ball of paper in the defendant’s stomach could in no wise be construed as documentary evi dence, and that a dismissal was prop er. The case of the state of Washing ton against H. R. McTavish is now in statu quo pending the untangling of the legal question involved from the defendant’s impromptu luncheon. Several processes are now employed in Germany, Switzerland and France for the manufacture of artificial silk, and one of the German associations is said to be negotiating for the estab lishment of a factorj' in the United States. In one of the latest processes cellulose dissolved in ammoniated oxid of copper is directly separated from this solution in the form of threads bj' the aid of an acid. Of so much importance have experi ments with low temperatures become that the National Bureau of Standards in Washington has purchased the low temperature plant which was operated as an exhibit at the St. Louis Expo sition by the Britisli Government.

The railroad from Damascus to Mecca has reached Mann, on the pil grim route, nearly 300 miles south of Damascus, and not far from the head of the Gulf of Akaba, and a celebration was recently held at that point, in which a deputation from Medina, where Mohammed’s body rests, took part. The priuibary purpose of this railroad Is announced to he the as sistance of pilgrims on their way to and from Mecca. Professor Edward B. Rosa, in a re cent address on scientific standards of measurement, collected interesting facts about the foot, the most widely used measure of length in both ancient and modern times. It is derived from the length of the human foot, but ap parently has varied more than that portion of the skeleton can possibly have done in historic times. The an cient Welsh foot, for instance, was nine inches long, whereas ihe Piedmont foot was twenty inches. Overworking a Typewriter. “When a typewriter has been oper- ited for several hours at a stretch It becomes a centre of electrical phe nomena,” remaked a stenographer. “Touch it with something metallic and you will get a distinct shock. At the same time there will be a crack ing sound and a spark will appear at the point of contact. If another per son than the one who has been oper- j ■ting it should begin to pound the j keyboard after the machine has been j in continuous use for a couple of hours he will experience a real elec trical Eeusation. the pins-and-needlea feeling of a foot asleep. Drawing the sheet of paper off the roller rapidly will charge the paper and it will crackle when laid on other paper. It will also adhere to the other sheets or to any surface with which it cornea in contact and quite a little tug 13 necessary to loosen it.

News About Nerves. London, Eng.—The Marshall Hall Prize, given every five years by the Royal Medical Society, has been awarded to Henry Head for an im portant discovery of the workings of the nervous system. Prof. Head had the sensory nerves of his arm divid ed. and then he watched the sensa tions that followed. Then he had the nerves reunited by stitching, and he watched the process of recovery. The results was that he discovered' that there are two distinct sets of sensory nerve*. One conveys the sensations of pain, heat and cold.

A minister speaks of the curious ef fect of Grape-Nuts food on him and how it has relieved him. “You will doubtless understand how the suffering with Indigestion witii which I used to be troubled made my work an almost unendurable burden, and why it was that after m^Sabbath duties had been performed, sleep was a stranger to my pillow till nearly day light. “I had to be very careful ns to what I ate, and even with all my care I ex perienced poignant physical distress after meals, and my food never satis fied me. “Six months have elapsed since I be gan to use Grape-Nuts food, and the benefits I have derived from it are very definite. I no longer suffer from indi gestion, and I began to improve from the time Grape-Nuts appeared on our table. I find that b>’ eating a dish of it after my Sabbath work is done (and I alwaj’s do so now) mj’ nerves are quieted and rest and refreshing sleep are insured me. I feel that I could not possibly do without Grape-Nuts food, now that I know its value.

It is the duty of this man to see that nothing un- i seemly in the way of a tombstone is put up. A young engineer “in a Norristown mill was killed !)>• the explosion of a boiler, and the family of this young man, believing that the mill owners had known all along that the boiler was defective, actually had carved on Hie tombstone the sentence, “Murdered j by his masters.” The tombstone cen- ! sor, of course, refused to sanction such an epitaph. On the death of a certain noted prize- f fighter, the surviving brother of the man wanted to put in a glass case be side the grave a championship belt, four medals, a pair of gloves and other trophies of the ring. But the censor’s negative was firm. A widow who believed that the phy sician was responsible for her hus- | band’s death wished to put on the tomb, “He employed a cheap doctor,” but the tombstone censor showed her | that such an inscription would lay her | open to heavy damages for libel. Atheists sometimes direct in their ! wills that shocking blasphemies he carved on their monuments. The cen- J sor, however, sees to it that these blas phemies do not disfigure the cemetery. —Philadelphia Bulletin. Mirror* That Spoil Trade. “If I were asked to make a guess, i should say that the :.ew subway slot machine boxes -vith mirrors in them will not bring in so much rev enue as the old ones,” said the Col onel. “Observation has taught me that these automatic chewing gum dis tributors are mostly patronized bj' men. You very seldom see a woman drop a penny iu the slot. If a woman chews gum she usually carries a package of it in her wrist bag. A woman does not carry pennies around loose, like a man does. But, badly as a man may want a pennyworth of gum, he 1 ii; not disposed to push a woman aside in order that he may get his coin into the slot; and it is a sur* thing that you will find every slot machine with i a mirror in it surrounded by three or '■ four women.”—New York Press.

Persons Without Training Play the Piano in a Hypnotic State. Paris is very much concerned at present over a new phenomenon, which called, for lack of a better name, musical mediumship. In the same way that a few years ago the attention of the French scientists was largely occupied with thought trans ference, now many investigators in the French capital are carefully fol lowing the experiments 'which are be ing conducted with the musical medi ums. In the last number of the “Jour nal des Debats” M. Henri de Parville carefully goes over the whole ground, and the facts presented are well worth considering. M. de Parville first takes up the case of a subject by the name of Aubert. “This man, although ho had but a rudimentary knowledge of music, performs on the piano, in a semi-hypnotic state, com positions which recall the musical style of Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, Schubert and others. A second and far more remarkable case, however, is that of Mile. Nydia. This woman, in a hypnotic state, and with her ej’es carefully bandaged, is able to play on the piano any piece of music which may be given her. Thus at a sitting recently held at the Theatre de la Monnaie, in Brussels, Mile. Nydia was led to M. Silvayn Dupuy, chief of the orchestra of the theatre, wno gave her a piece of music composed by himself, which had never been published. M. Dupuy saw that the bandage had been tightly placed over the girl’s ej’es. Mile. Nydia then sat down, 'held the paper in her hands for a few r moments, and then, to the great astonishment of every one, played the piece without hesitation. “Two physicians examined the young woman, and found her to be in a real hypnotic state and absolutely insensible to the exterior world. There were then placed over her eyes a succession of bandages, alternat ing white and black, and s’he was led to the piano. One of the spectators offered a new- opera, which was plac ed on the piano. The hypnotizer look ed at his subject, and immediately the girl played the piece with the great est cleverness. Another spectator, who had just arrived from New Zea land, offered a piece which had never been performed in Europe. Mile. Nydia, however, executed it at once, and she played with the same skill a piece which had just been composed by M. G. Germain. At public request she played a piece of Paderewski, which was unknown to her, and final ly a lady wrote the title of a piece of music on a slip of paper, put it into an envelope, which was afterward sealed, and gave It to the girl. She placed it on her forehead ment and the next instant ing Beethoven’s ‘Clair du nata.”—Public Opinion. A TOUGH QUESTION. Teacher—“What is the ruler of Russia called, Willie?” Willie Reed—“Gee.

It is a well-known fact that even the best of housekeepers cannot make really good coffee without having the proper ma terials. They will never make it with coffee of doubtful origin,_ adulterated, queerly blended, and possibly dirty coffee that has, perhaps, been mixed up with all kinds of other things on the counter. But let them take a package of Lion Coffee—the purest and cleanest—and the brand universally used throughout the Uni ted States for over twenty-five years. Mill ions drink it daily, and get the best re sults if it is made in the following way: Try it once and you will never want to try any other brand of coffee. HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE. Use Lion Coffee, because to get best results you must use the best coffee. Grind* you Lion Coffee rather fine. Use a “tablespoonful to each cup. and one extra for the pot.” First mix it with a little cold water, enough to make a thick paste, and add white of an egg (if egg is to be used a< a settler), then follow one of the following rules: 1st — With boiling water — Add boiling water, and let it boil three minutes only. Add a little cold water and set aside live- minutes to settle. Serve promptly. 2d—With cold water—Add your cold water to the paste and bring it to a boil. Then set aside, add a little cold water, and in live minutes it’s ready to serve. THREE DON’TS. Don’t boil it too long. Don’t let it stand more than ten min utes before serving. Don’t use water that has been boiled be fore. TWO WAYS TO SETTLE COFFEE. 1st -With eggs—Use part of the white of an egg. mixing it with the ground Lion Coffee before boiling. 2d—With cold water instead of eggs. After boiling add a dash of cold water and set aside for eight or ten minutes, then serve through a strainer. Danjiro, the great Japanese tragedian, is also a most skilful dancer.
