BLUB BACK Sr Pables [From tin- < >M < ?Vi ii io J The nieu an?! women who 'M years ago attended the public schools of Missouri and either Western States have not forgotten the (dd Webster elementary spelling hook. lu those days the tdd "blue back" did duty in a majority of the schools, and it was authority ol' spelling. It was the crowning ambition of the average boy or girl to bc able to eorroetly spell offhand any word within its covers. , This feat, .r accomplished at iii" monthly spelling school, when, upon a Friday night, the parent- of lim pupil.- m r-' present, was joy enoiiifli for the average student. lu many of the Western .-tato? this. ? oticc popular book has hun' since given ' place toother spellers. I>urin. tli-?' , past six months the successful bidder* in the contest to supply lae schools of j Kansas with a uniform series of honks have hern receiving obi books in ex - j change for lin- now. Something like ? 100,001? new spelling books have been J supplied ? j thc people, and probably "JO.OOO old ?spellers have been received j in exchange, but in all this pile only , three copies ?d' the old "blueback Webster" have been turned in. The copy in the hands nf the writer evi dently belonged once to a Missouri boy, because on its cover is written the name of Hoy Skidmore. Westville, Mo. Nothing will so completely carry . ne back to '.childhood's earliesl hours" as a perusal of the old "blue back" .spoiler. Next to the ''old oaken bucket," with ils memories so dear, thin thumbed and worn reminder of school days creates upon the youth ful mind impressions, aside from the knowledge it imparts, which age does not dim or remove. Probably the proudest moment of a boy or girl's life was when he or she was able lo stand up in class and cor rcctly spell thc first word of two sylla hies in the "blueback" speller. This word, "u?-kcf," though simple, was the test. The student who could master this lesson, No. lit?, containing yO words, felt that one-half tho battle had been won. The victory was com plete when a student could spell and pronounce by syllables thc longest 1 word in the book-"in com-prc-heu si-bil-i-ty." Following each snelling lesson in the old Webster is a collection of sen tences which leave on tho child's ?lind impressions which last through life. Some of these gems will bear repetition here : "The gambler is uneasy when at koine." "Thc drunkard's face will publish i his vico and his disgrace.' "Dur farmers, mechanics uud mer chants compose the strength of our nation. Let them be wise and virtu ous, uud watchful of their liberties. Lot them trust no man to legislate for them if he lives in the. habitual viola- | tion of the laws of his country." "How happy men would be if they would always love what is right and hate what is wrong." Thc half dozen fables in thc old "blue back" are as familiar to thc person who used this speller as is the rolden rule. Fable I, of "The Hoy That Stole Apples,'' points a moral as true as the gospel itself, lt is illus trated, showing the boy in thc apple tree and the old man throwing stones at him. Tho pictures show tho crude cuts of tho time. This fable runs : "An old man found a rudo boy upon one of his apple trees stealing apples, aud desired him to como dows, but thc young sauce box told him plainly that he would not. 'Won't you?' said the old ;?nr. . 'flinn T ?rill fntrth I you down.' So he pulled up some turf or gras? and throw at him ; but this only made tho youngster laugh, to think the old mau should pretend to beat him down from the tree with ?rass only. " 'Well, well,' haid the old mau, 'if neither words nor grass will do, I must try what virtuu there is iu stones.' 80 the old man pelted him heartily with stones, which soon made the young ohap haste down from the tree ?ad beg the old man's pardon. "Moral-If good words and gentle means will not reclaim thc wicked, they must be dealt with iu a more terer? manner.*' "The Country Maid and Her Milk Pail," and thc moral it toadies, ap plies to men and women to day with as much force as it did when thc old "blue back' was in general usc tn the school* of thc country. Thc fabio fallows : "When men >-afTor their imagination to amuse thom wi<.h the prospector distant, and uncertain improvements of their condition, they frequently iostain real losses, by their inatten tion to thu.^e ;.ti'iirs in which they are immediately concerned. "A country tadd was walking very /deliberately with a pail of milk upon , her head, when she fell into thc fol lowing strain of reflection : 'Thc money for which I shaft sell this milk will enable mc to increase my stock of ALLING BOOK. rIVxt.-B<>ok ol* tt Gon ?

"lt makes a difference whose ox is gored" is a saying as familiar as it is true. .The Partial Judge" thus points this morai : "A farmer cami' to a neighboring lawyer, cxprcssiug great concern for au accident which he said had just happened, 'ilse of your oxen, con tinued be. "bas been gored by an un lucky bull of mine, and I should bc glad to know how I am to make you reparation.' 'Thou art a very honest j fellow," replied thc lawyer, 'and wilt not think it unreasonable that I ex pect one of thy oxen in return.' 'It is no mere than justice,' quoth tho fanner, 'to bc sure ; but what did I say?-1 mistake-it is your bull that bas killed "one of my oxen.' 'In deed!' says thc lawyer, 'that alters the case ; 1 must inquire into tho affair: and if-' 'And if f said the farmer ; 'thc business 1 lind would nave been concluded without an if, had you been as ready to do justice to others as to exact it from them.' " "The bear ami the two friends" is another fable it: tho old ''blue back" which points a morai that will bc again read with interest, lt says "Two friends, setting out together upon a journey which led through a dangerous forest, mutually promised to assist each other, if they should happen to bc assaulted. They hud not proceeded far before they per ceived a bear making toward thc:a with great rage. "There were no hopes in Gght ; bu one of them, being very active, sprang up into a tree : upon which tho other, throwing himself flat on tho ground, held his breath and pretended to bo dead ; remembering to have heard it asserted that this creature will not prey upon a dead carcass. Thc bear came up, and after smelling of bim some time, left him and -vent un. When he was fairly out of sight and bearing the hero from the tree called ?nit 'Well, my friend, what said thc beat ? Ile seemed to whisper you very closely?' 'Ile did so,' replied thc other, 'and ga\e inc this good advice, never to associate with a wretch, who, iu the hour of danger, will desert his friend.' A Story About Lincoln. IJKUANON, im?., Keb. li?.-Presi dent Lincoln's birthday was celebrated herc last night, and among tho promi nent guests at tho banquet was Gen eral Lew Wallace. During his address he referred to tho dark days of thc war when Gen. McClellan had been driven back to Harrison's Landing by (leo. Lee. At thia timo Gen. Wal laeo said : "I waa near Washington and went there with a party to seo the President. I noticed that Mr. Lin coln's face was unusually sad. I ihoug?t he wsti aicL and was solici tous. I kindly asked him if ho was unwell, but bo said he was well enough but that ho was anxiously waitiug for tho timo to arrive when a boat would start for Harrison's Landing, that he wanted to go and persuade (?en. Mc Clellan not to surrender tie army to Gen. Lee." Gen. Wallace said ho had never told this story before except privately to friends. .V ?1 th fu I Watchman. The truth of au old saying about children and fools is newly illustrated by a story in a London paper. A gentleman wont into a fancy goods store. It was early in tho morning, and in order to make ohangc the shop keeper was obliged to go upstairs after thc cash box. As he went out of the room, bc said in a whimper tullis little son : "Watch the gentleman that he does nut steal anything.'' I The precaution was natural enough, but the. form in wliuh it was conveyed I was unfortunate, for when the shop keeper returned, a few minutes later, thc boy cried out : ''Pa, he didu't Hteal anything! I 'watched him." - it is what wo don't think that make? us innocent, and what wc don't do th At keeps us so. Sure Cur? Found for Hog Cholera. WASHINGTON, dan. H ".-Tho chief of thc bureau of animal indus try, Pr. I). IO. Salmon, has submitted to Secretary Wilson a report upon the experiments made in the treatment of hogs for hog cholera with anti toxine serum. Thia serum is made upon the same principle as the anti toxine of diphtheria. (Jood scrum has been ob tained from both horses and cattle, a horse or cow being treated with tho hog cholera virus in small quantities at lirst, with larg?; doses aftei suitable intervals of time. The resistance of the animal is thus raised to the high est practicable point. Thc blood of such au animal when injected under the sk i ri ol' swine has been found to possess both a preventative and a cure for cholera. This sein ni was first tested upon small annuals in the laboratory and being lound efficacious, was last fall test? 'I in I'age County. Iowa, on sev eral herds of swine, containing alto gether animals. Leaving out one lo rd, from which definite returns as to cause of death could not bu ob tained, only I'M ?lied out of "Jil uni mais treated, o?' which SO were sick. Consequently Kli.H per cent, of the animal-, in these herds were saved tJi' untreated herds kepi, under obser vation during the period referred to about 8f> per cent, ol' the uni mais died. I>r. Salmon believes that with experi euee a better quality of serum can be prepared and be has no doubt that this percentage eau be maintained hereaf ter. deferring to this report Secretary Win m remarked that undoubtedly the results reported by Dr. Salmon were most encouraging to hog raisers. The cost of tho serum now, said the secre tary, is hut 10 cents per head of ani mals treated, only one dozen being re quired, and doubtless in course of time this light cost may ?till be fur ther reduced. "It is my opinion.'' said the secre tary, ""that it is of the utmost im portance that this senna for the next | year at Least be made by the bureau, under our own supervision, and dis tributed in large quantities in orderte demonstrate its efficiency upon a more extended scale. It is absolutely es sential that during the experimental stage; serum of undoubted quality be used. Unless the hog growers can ob tain it from this department they will be forced to depend upon what can be obtained from private sources, and owing to the novelty of this product, not only will discouragingly exorbi tant prices be charged for it, but in many cases inferior products may be offered. This would precludo the possibility of making a satisfactory test on a widely extended seale. "I propose to ask Congress to pro vide an appropriation necessary to en able this department to furnish li,000, 000 dozens of serum during the next year, and to make a considerable por tion of thu appropriation immediately available, lt seems from Dr. Salmon's report that it takes three or four mouths to put a horse or cow in con dition to supply thc serum; conse quently thc work upon an extended scale must bo undertaken at once. "Tho losses from hog cholera are so enormous and have weighed so heavi ly for years upon our farmers that I cannot imagino that Congress will for a moment refuse to make the appro priations necessary to carry on this work thoroughly. Indeed, apart from thc great stake thc farmers have in this matter, to refuse to provide for a thorough test of this remedy now would be, indeed, pennywisc and pound foolish; for the discovery of this serum has involved already many years of work and a very large sum of money, lt would he a great mistake, now that so great a discovery seems to have been made, not to tiuish the work by giving it a thorough and ex tensive test. A nether Centennial Kx position. The next important event in Ameri can history which calla for centennial commemoration is the purchase of Louisiana by President Jefferson io lHO.'L Already the wide-awake and enter prising spirits of that section of the country included within the original boundaries of the Louisiana purchase aro beginning to agitate tho question of holding a great international expo sition in 1903, either at St. Louis or some other convenient point. Thcro can bo no doubt of the vast importance to this country of tho Louisiana purchase. Ad tue result of this shrewd negotiation on tho part of President Jefferson, tho United States acquired nearly one-half of its present domain. Out of this immense strip of territy some twelve or fifteen States have been carved, and there is no sec tion of the country moro thrifty than the one inoiuded within thc original area of the Louisiana purchase. To commemorate the acquisition of this vast aroa would not be inappro priate, but whether or not Congress seos fit to encourage thc project re mains to be seen.
