A SONG OF FORGETTING. *33ie hours as playings were-ah, mei And laughter treed in every word - What time that love was young and glee In every pulsing heart throb stirred. The wild plum blossomed in the glen. The rabbit raced across the plain. And frightened birdlings flurried when Our hounds and horses tramped the grain, Down in the grove beside the spring ' "We rested when the raco was won. And listened to the wood bird sing A lullaby when day was done But, ah, yott wandered from my side And rz^ed the long lone lane of years "With memory stones and loss too wide For sobs to soothe with memory tears. And now you come-come back to me To fill, as then, the old time place Where is the magic of your plea? What change has come upon your face? Oh, friend, to lose and still love on, io live on chaff instead of grain 2s better than to feel love gone Forgetting is the keenest pain. -Atlanta Constitution. CHARLES STEWART PARNELL How tbe Great Irish Leader Came to Suter Politics. Charles Stewart Parnell was 28 years old before he made his entry into the political arena. How the step was taken is tiros described by Mr. R Barry O'Brien in his biography of the great . Irish leader: "One night dnring the general elec? tion of 1874 Parnell dined with his sis? ter, Mrs. Dickinson, in Dnblin After dinner Captain Dickinson said 'Well, Charles, why don't yon go into parlia? ment? Why don't yon stand foryonr native county ?' . "To the surprise of every one at the /table, Parnell said quickly 'I will "Whom ought I to see?' " *Oh, ' said Dickinson, 'we will see about that tomorrow. The great thing is you have decided to stand. ' " 1 will see about it at once,' said Parnell. *I have made up my mind, and I won't wait. Whom ought I to see?" *' 'I think Gray of The Freeman's Journal. ' said John, who was also pres? ent *' Tery well,' said Parnell, rising from the table, 41 shall go to him at once. Do you come with me, John. ' * 'The two brothers then went away to? gether. It was now li o'clock, and they found Gray at The Freeman's office. He was amazed when Parnell entered and said, *I have come to say, Mr Gray, that I mean to stand for Wick? low as a Home Ruler. ' " It was only the year after that, on the death of John Mitchel Parnell was re? turned for Meath. At first it is plain that* Parnell had few if any followers. The ability of the representative from Heath was questioned Butt was then the controlling power. It was only in 1880 that Parnell became the leader NO STOVES IN KOREA. Instead Fines Are Laid Under the Floors, Which Are Thus Heated. Stoves are not used to any extent by the native Koreans. The Korean meth? od of heating is excellently adapted to their resources and conditions. In build? ing their houses they lay down a sys? tem of flues where tho floor is to be. These flues begin at a fireplace, which is usually placed in an onter shed or connecting closed alleyway. From this fireplace the fines extend in a more or less curved direction, like the ribs of a round fan, to a trench at the rear of the room, which in tarn opens into a chimney, which is usually placed some distance from the house. Flat flagstones are then placed carefully over these flues, and the whole is ce? mented over and finally covered with a thick oil paper, for which the country ?B noted. This paper keeps smoke from entering the room, and a little straw or brushwood, used in the fireplace for cooking tbe rice, serves to heat the ?stone floor and gives an agreeable warmth, which lasts till the time of the aext meal. Two heatings daily tend to give the people a nice warm floor, upon which they sit in the daytime and sleep at night. By leaving their shoes at the door the inmates preserve the paper floor, which from constant polishing takes on a rich brown color.-New York Press. Maori Women. The Maori women of Australasia have their rights-flourishing ones. General? ly they have little, voice or choice in the selection of their first husbands, but they may, and frequently do, change them. A woman may trade her husband without so mcch as a comment from the public, without the slightest smudge on her good name, and it is nothing to his discredit either. Courtship is always brief and does not often preface mar? riage. The Maoris, however, love to re? peat oriental love tales and sing love songa Maori widows not infrequently commit suicide on the graves of their husbands and are honored for doing so, as in China. Divorce is simple; it needs no revenue, employs no officers. He turns her out of doors, and both are free to remarry. This is all. Girls are often betrothed irrevocably from infancy. Two of a Kind.

The gentleness of bloodhound disposi? tion is probably accounted for by their not having been used to hunt and kill prey. On? of the most ancient anec? dotes of these dogs attributes the cap? ture of a fugitive to the use of his own bloodhound. The name itself is prob? ably a modern one, based on a vulgar ?rror that the dogs onlv followed persons Who were "red handed" from homicide or v.-ho had about them the smell of re? cently killed sheep. The ancient name was lyme dog or talbot, which latter appears io have been a white variety of bloodhound. The Cuban bloodhounds, which were used for hunting slaves by the Spaniards and were imported into Jamaica, were not bloodhounds at all, but a cross be? tween the mastiff and bulldog, or per? haps the "dogue" of Bordeaux They were brindled, prick eared, and doubt? less horribly savage. They were, how? ever, used as "police," and, like the bloodhounds on the border, were main? tained in every parish in Jamaica, where it was the duty of the church? wardens to keep them at the expense of the cornmunity. Some of these dogs were kept in Lon? don during the early days of the zo? ological gardens. The stories of their ferocity are probably not exaggerated, though Lord Balcarres, who imported 200 of them into Jamaica to aid in sub? duing the maroons, never used them. He frightened the negroes into submis? sion by circulating the stories current about the dogs.-London Spectator. Took His Wife's Adrice. When the man whose haircut showed that his wife had peculiar notions as to the way a man should dress his hair quit giving advice, one of the listeners said: "No man has more respect for a wo? man than I have, but I shall never take the advice of my wife again about money matters. She insisted upon my hiding my salary, so if I should be held up the highwaymen wouldn't get it. I draw my stipend at 6 p. ni., and it is quite dark before I get home. She is a good hider in the house, but her talent in that line stops there. Now, she had -the brilliant idea that I should put tho envelope containing my money under the sweatband of my hat. Highway? men would never look there and would never rob a man of his hat. After she bad made this suggestion about 40 times I accepted it. I went home as usual on the elevated. I had a slight attack of vertigo in the car, and the man who always knows what to do said I needed fresh air and threw up the window. In doing so he knocked off my hat. I went home bareheaded and broke "-New York Sun. The Brave Bull, the Cruel Spaniard. The trumpet sounds again, and the espada takes his sword and his muleta and goes out for the last scene. This, which ought to be, is not always the real climax The bull is often by this time tired, has had enough of the sport leaps at the barrier, trying to get out. He is tired of running after red rags, and he brushes them aside contemptu? ously. He can scarcely be got to show animation enough to be decently killed. But one bull that I saw was splendidly savage and fought almost to the last, .running about the arena with the sword between his shoulders, and that great red line broadening down each side of his neck on the black, like a deep layer of red paint, one tricks oneself inte thinking. He carried two swords in his neck and still fonght. When at last he, too, got weary he went and knelt down before the door by which he had enter? ed and would fight no more. But they went np to him from outside the bar? rier and drew the swords out of him, and he got to his feet again and stood to be killed.-Saturday Review. Goldsmith's Actor. Lord Nugent was one eveniug very eloquent to Goldsmith in praise of DI, (a bad actor). "But, my lord," said Goldsmith, "you must al!ow he treads the stage very ill-he waddles." "Wad? dles?" said Lord Nugent. "Yes, he wad? dles like a goose. Why, you know WA cali him Goose M." "Well, and then, you know, when he endeavors to ex? press strong passion he bellows." "Bel? lows?" said Lord Nugent. "To be sure j he does-bellows like a bull. Why, wa call him Bull M." "Well, then," con? tinued Goldsmith, pursuing his tri? umph, "his voice breaks and he creaks." "Croaks?" said Lord Nugent. "Why, the fellow croaks like a frog. We call him Frog DI. But M. is a good actor. ' ' "Why, yes," said Goldsmith, "bar? ring the goose, and the bull, and the frog, and a few other things I could mention, and not wishing to speak ill of my neighbors, I will allow M. is a good actor."-"Memoirs of the Earl of Nncent."

A business man has a dai^ghter and also ?i confidential clerk, and the confi? dential clerk has for some time been at? tentive to the daughter, but he has not -or had not a month ago-sufficient courage to come to the point, though the young vornan, goodness knows, has never done anything to scare him off, for he is a first class fellow in every re? spect The other evening he was mak? ing a call and about 9 o'clock her fa? ther came in. "Ah, George," he said, "how abont that deal we were talking about this afternoon? Did you see the party?" "Yes, sir," replied George, "and I expected to see you this evening and tell you about it." "My dear," said the father, turning to his daughter, "will you retire for a few minutes? George wants to speak business for awhile. ' ' The daughter rose up, but hesitated. "Why do I have to go?" she asked doubtfully. "Because, " dear, " smiled the father, "you are not interested. Why do you want to stay?" Sh e blushed and started out "Because, papa," she twittered, "I'd rather like to hear George talk business just once.

The bishop of-never mind where being a newcomer and somewhat trou? bled with a neglected diocese, thought to inspire his clergy to take occasional services during the week by periodically visiting out of the way parishes and taking one himself. On one of these occasions, having formed quit? a good congregation and having been moved to much eloquence in his sermon, he felt a little not un? natural desire to know if he had made any impression on the usually unim? pressionable yokels, and put some lead? ing questions to the old clerk, who waa helping him to unrobe in the vestry.

There was a shoemaker I met not long ago, says a writer in Chambers' Journal, who had a most elaborate method of keeping his ' 'books. ' ' Against the wall of his workshop he had a large board erected, which he painted black. Into t&is board he used to drive hob pails, tacks, brass and steel rivets and other nails used in his trade to repre? sent work done. For instance, . the soi? ling of a pair of boots woud be repre? sented by a small piece of leather tack? ed on to the board by means of a brass rivet, but if the boots were hobnailed, then a hobnail was used instead of the brass rivet. A steel rivet indicated a patch on the sole, and a patch on the upper was shown by tbe addition of a piece of thin leather. New boots were shown drawn in chalk, as were also the hieroglyphics representing the custom? ers' names Some peculiarity of manner, dress or surroundings was chosen to indicate whose account it was.

Years ago, when Clemenceau was the mayor of Martre and at the same time a deputy, he opened a dispensary in the quarter, where advice was given free, for Clemenceau is a specialist in skin diseases. One day he noticed that he had just one hour in which to get his luncheon and go down to the chamber, where he had to interpellate the gov? ernment. He called his assistant and said, "How many more patients are there waiting?" "Six," replied the man. One after the other had his case diag? nosed, and Clemenceau, after another glance at his watch, said, "Tell the other two to undress at once, as I have only two more minutes to wait. " One entered, and Clemenceau wrote out a prescription in the twinkling of an eye. The last man came in as naked as the day when he was bern. Clemenceau eyed him for a minute and then said: "You are suffering from no skin dis? ease. What have you come here to j worry me for?" I The man looked at him aghast for a minute and replied: "Skin disease? I never said I had a skin disease. Your man came in and told me to undress, M. le Depute, and I did so.

How Far Can Quail Fly? A number of sportsmen have been discussing the question of how far a quail can fly. There are a good many contingencies to be considered in arriv? ing at a definite conclusion of the ques? tion, the which cuts no inconsiderable figure in the distance one of these birds can fly. If lhere is a stiff wind blow? ing and the bird's course is with the wind, a full grown quail could certain? ly go ?norc than *a mile with eas3 and do-:1 tilcss a much greater distance. Those who have noticed quail irving to fly across the Missonri river, where the distance is aleut a mile, recall that not all the birds make the trip safely. They usually pick a spot where they can make a halt on a sand bar in mid? stream, and thus cross the river in two flights. Eut sometimes they make the distance at a single flight, and this seems to bo their full limit under nor? mal conditions, for when they alight they are completely exhausted. It is geuerally believed that on an average a mile is about the limit of the flight of a quail where it is neither fa? vored ncr retarded hy the wind. It hap? pens very often that in crossing the Missouri river at a single flight quail drop exhausted into the water. Proba? bly these are young birds.-St. Louis Republic. nis Moiigroose Experience. "Although I sold tickets in a red cir? cns wagon xor years," continued the dime museum mau, "I was badly fooled once in an animal deal. I mean by this that I fooled myself.

ORIGIN OF PNEUMONIA Not Inflammation, but a Real Germ Culture. Prom the Medical Record. In pneumonia Ihe importance of the role played by micro organisms is now generally acknowleged Dr. Andrew H. Smith, in his article on "Croupou8 Pneumonia," in the forth? coming volume of the Twentieth Century Practice of Medicine, bas done much to elucidate these moot points and to remove the difficulties in the way of a more intelligent understanding of the causation of the disease. He takes the ground that pneumonia is not an inflammation of the lung, but that it is simply a precess of germ culture going on in the air cells, the culture medium being supplied from the functional vessels. Dr Smith is of the opinion that the key to the whole problem is io the double circulation in the lunge, a thing known to every one, but the bearing of which upon the pathology of pneumonia has been hitherto over looked. Attention is drawn to the fact that in no other organ of the body but the lung could structural health and diseased action go on side by 6ide, for it is the only one-although a somewhat analogous condition is met with in the heart-in which the blood supply for nutrition and function are sepa? rately provided for. As might be expected, 60 radical a change of view as to the pathology j of the disease carries in its train i numerous new views in respect to tieatment More than one third of the article is devoted to consideration of ibis branch of the subject, in marked contrast to the usual custom j of writers We have seen that Dr. j Smith asserts that pneumonia is not an inflammation of the lung, for the rer.son that in his opinion it does not sffect the nutrition of the organ, but as a process of germ culture in which the pneumococcu8 grows in a culcure medium supplied by the functional capillaries of the lung. Hence his argument runs that therapeutic efforts j should bff directed toward the arrest or inhibition of this germ coliure. Inasmuch as this culture medium is derived from the blood, any sub? stance added to the latter will aiso be found in the former, and if that substance is inimical to the growth of the coccus it will in go far act in the direction sought. Fortunately the pneumococcus is the most vulnerable of all the germs and possessed of the least vitality. "We have, therefore, according to Prof Smith, a priori a probability that its career in the lung can be modi?ied by drugs The one from which the most satisfactory results in this direc lion have been obtained is the salicylate of sodium. Creosote is also valuable, as are likewise large doses of quinine, which have been credited with an abortive effect long before the existence of any kind of ; micro organisms was recognized, j In regard to the treatment of pneumonia by means of antitoxin, Prof. ?mith believes with most scientific men, that while there may and probably wiii be a great future for orrbotherapy, at present the results have been too indecisive to be relied upon ate curative or remedial in this disease. However, tbe news has recently como from Berlin that Prof Wassermann, of that city, a pupil of Prof Koch, hopes that he has discovered a serum cure for pnuemonia There are many more features of interest in Prof. Smith's work which we should like to notice, but it would be impossible within the limits of an article to do. more than give the chief points. However, this much may be said, that the "new views on pneu monia" are likely to prove a most valuable addition to medical knowl? edge. Paying One's Debts. What pleasure it ie to pay one's debts !

Some of oar readers may have noticed, a mooth ago, that the peanut factories about Norfolk had gone into a trust. It is now believed that ?he Standard Oil company will soon pot on the market two comparatively oew peanut products-peanut butter and peanut flour. Tba outlook for the peanut business of the Carolinos has opened op at Norfolk a possibility of a large grow? ing industry that will benefit the farmers and make peanuts more valuable tban to pac into roasted peanuts or peanut brittle in candy. There is now being erected near Nor? folk a large plant, which is being buiit for tbs purpose of manufacturing peanut oil which will be manufactured into batter that has a nice natty flavor nda which will take the the place of the general produce of oleomargarine in this country. The revenus depart? ment has decided that this butter is not a compound and, therefore, there will be no internal revenue tai to withhold the dealer from handling thc same ; and i? has been clearly proven that it is a wholesome and nutritious article. The residue of the peanuts left, after pressing the oii oat, will be ground, by a milling process, and made into flour like the product of corn. It is claimed that this will have a nutritious quality, somewhat darker in color bat better than any of the preparations now used in making wheat cakes, corn, Soar, etc., and wi-1 make, too. good and wholesome bread..
