Volume of Water Almost Drowned Adventurous Youth. A story Is told In the World's Work of a youth who, partly from Ignorance, partly from a spirit of foolhardy ad venture, put his life in Jeopardy. He and his companion were spending a vacation In the Yosemlte Yalley, and had been fishing for mountain trout on the Illilouette. "To-morrow," he. said, "I shall take a 'shower bath under the 1,700-foot fall." , "You are a fool!" said his compan ion. "Not at all, came the reply. "The river is very low. What there is of It turns to spray in the first hundred feet; It will simply come down like rain. Why, you'd go under the Bridal Veil yourself! Only that's prosaic. This is something big. Come on." "Not I." But I was there to see. The water, as he had said, came down, a consid erable part of it, in rain and spray that flew out on the wind Incredible dis tances. But to crawl down, dressed in a bathing suit, closer to the main stream that falls to the pool and upon the rocks, with a murderous swish in the air and a roar in the ears like a railway train, was daring to foolhardl- ness. At any moment a veering wind might swing the whole mass upon the tall, slim figure backing tentatively on all fours down the Jagged talus slope, his eye-glasses glinting cheerfully. A steady breeze kept the fall swung out a little the other way, and the spray burgeoned out far up the other slope. The roar was deafening. All at once the wind shifted. The water swung back, and In a flash the human figure was blotted out In a deluge that turned me sick. For a second, that seemed an hour. It play ed on the spot fiendishly, It seemed to me, standing horrified there, and then slowly it swept away. And then there was' a movement, a painful, crawling movement down there on the slope, and I scrambles! down the slippery rocks to help a blink ing, creeping, much-surprised youth, bleeding from a hundred cuts, up to where his clothes lay. He was still too dazed to speak. When his breath returned and his extra glasses were perched again on his nose, he said: "The oceans fell upon me. Come back to New England." EMERSON'S TRUE PLACE. Shares with Ha.wtb.orae and Tom Primacy of American Letters." Emerson shares with Hawthorne and Poe the primacy of American letters. Whitman must be counted with them as an original force in poetry. His Im agination had more volume and flow; he had command, at his best, of a tell ing , fraphness and effectiveness ef phrase; but in power of organization, in discernment f spiritual qualities, he falls far below the Concord poet. For it Is as a poet that Emerson must be reckoned with; the limitations of his prose, the lack of order in . his thought, and of thorough and large structure in his style, are due to the poet's method In dealing with his sub jects. He has enriched our literature with a few poems of Buch directness of vision, such captivating simplicity of Imagery, such .'ultimate felicity of phrase, that they will lay held of the imagination of remote generations. He was not great in volume of emo tion, in, tidal force and sweep of im agination, in that fullness of life which comes to the poet whose genius is charged with elemental power as was Dante' 8 and Shakspeare's. He did not look at Christianity with the fresh and original insight which he brought to other- subjects. He saw, the disorder of society, but he did not seem to real ize the tremendous significance of sin as moral evil. And although he said striking and profound things about Christ, he failed to take the measure of the divinest personalty In history a failure due in part to the force of the religious reaction in which he lived, and in part to his fundamental view of life. In spite of these limitations, he re mains in many respects the finest product of the old race in the new world; the loftiest -interpreter of its fundamental idea and mission; one of the deepest and noblest of Its teachers; of a life so simple, so blameless, so nobly poised, between vision and task that to recall it is to catch a glimpse of the spiritual order of life, and to believe in the dreams of the pure and the great.-Hamilton Wright Mabie in the Outlook.

XaJ. Ckarlea F. Band.Who la Still LIt- infe at Washington. The first volunteer for the Civil Wai Is still living. He is Dr. Charles F. Band, of Washington. D. C, retired from active prac-, tice by reason of troublesome wounds received nearly forty yearn ago. A certificate In the Capitol of New York State at Al bany attests the priority -of Dr. Rand's tender of his services. The - b. o. r. band, certificate is signed by the Mayor and two prominent citi zens of Batavia, N. Y., also by the County Clerk and the Sheriff of Gene see County, stating that In less than 10 minutes after the call of President Lincoln, April 15, 1861, for 75,000 vol unteers was taken from the wires the name of Charles F. Rand was enrolled as a soldier. Among, all the war rec ords at Washington there is none of an earlier enlistment than that of Dr. Rand, and the honor has therefore been given him by common consent. Not only was Dr. Rand the first vol unteer for the Civil War, but he was also the first soldier te win the Con gressional medal of honor for distin guished galantry in action. This event occurred at Blackburn's Ford, Va., in less than three months after his enlist ment. His command was ordered to retreat, and every man obeyed save young Rand, at the time but 18 years of age. The rest of his battalion, num bering 500 men, was swept in disorder from the field, but Rand held his ground, notwithstanding the fact that the field was plowed by-shot and shell all about him. The enemy finally ab solutely, refused to fire at the boy, standing bravely alone and shooting at hem as coolly as if he had a thousand men at his back. Rand then crept across a - deep ravine and joined the command of Gen. A. H. Barnum. Dr. Rand's patriotism and gallantry have been recognized by two Govern ors of the State of New York and by three Presidents. He was twice per sonally honored by President Lincoln. New York remembered him with a gold medal appropriately inscribed, and the United States government has pre sented him , with a plot in the most beautiful part of Arlington cemetery, where, at the proper time, the State of New York will erect a , monument worthy of the first man to offer his services as a volunteer during the great rebellion. STRAWBERRIES IN LESS FAVOR. Doctors Ivooklnar Askance at Them Cooked Food Recommended. In spite of the strawberry's centu ries of' popularity, it is by no means a wholesome fruit for everybody. It is not easily digested raw, and doc tors usually forbid it to children un der 6. Its acid Is peculiarly unwholesome for persons of rheumatic tendency, and the fruit is little less than a poi son to Borne constitutions. . The doc tor books do not set down the straw berry among the vegetable poisons, but what is popularly known as straw berry poison is very common at the spring Beason of the year, says the New York Sun. Marked cases of strawberry poison ing are attended with fever, lassitude and other disagreeable symptoms. In some cases the face and body are marked with large areas of strong red, suggesting at first scarlet fever. These areas run Into odd-looking patches, and in some instances become almost purple, -y The usual remedy Is to quit eating strawberries, but sometimes the pa tients require corrective medicines. Many who have had the disease, - if such it should be called, are able after a cure to eat the berries In modera tion. Some, however, can never again eat so many as half a dozen strawber ries with safety. A lucky few con tract a strong distaste for the berries after such an attack, and have no difficulty in leaving them off their bill of fare. Some, who cannot eat the straw berry In Its natural condition, can eat it cooked, and the doctors recommend the cooking of this and other berries for children. In fact, the-doctors are by no means so warm in their rec ommendation of fruits in their natural condition as they were a few years ago, and some have taken the attitude that most fruits, especially when not grown practically under the eye of the consumer, are more wholesome cooked than raw. . " Even the apple has been attacked, and many persons are advised to eat baked apples rather than raw apples, no matter how fresh and mellow. An additional reason why cooked fruits are recommended lies In the fact that so large a part of the fruit In the New York market is sold after belng from a few days to many months in cold storage. What the Marriage was Worth. ; A little group was discussing mar riage fees when one of them related the following story: "A young couple called on a minister I knew," said he, "and were married. When it was over the new-made husband said: ' .'I am sorry, but I have only $1 with me and we need that to get home with.' "That's all right,' said the minister. "You come around in one year and give me what ever vthe Job seems worth to you.' The groom said he would d it, and they went away." "Did he ever show up?" "Yes. he came back In a year and in sisted that the minister pay him $5." - , Swiftest or Bit ds. Seamen generally believe . that the frigate bird can start at daybreak with the trade winds from the coast of Africa, and roost the- same night upen the American shore. Whether this is a fact has not yet been conclusively determined, but it is certain that this bird is the swiftest of winged crea tures and is able to fly, under favor able conditions, 200 miles an hour. Every one who thinks he Is unlucky can find something happening every day to prove it. ' Were you worth tne price to your mother she paid for you?, .,v PE-RU-NA ,sbM WOMEN Says D. M. C.

GOODB SPEAKS FOR ITSELF You know when rich, red blood 4s coursing through the veins, for it shows in the brightness of the eye the beauty and clearness of the complexion, the smooth, fair skin, and robust, healthy constitution. . It is good blood that imparts strength and energy to the body and keeps it in a state of healthfulness asd vigor. Good blood is the foundation of good health, and to be physically and mentally sound it must be kept pure and untainted. People with good blooa possess strong, steady nerves and are blest with good appetites and digestion, and enjoy sound, refreshing sleep. If we could always maintain' the purity of the blood then we might enjoy perpetual health, but it becomes infected and poisoned and most of the ills that afflict humanity and undermine the constitu tion are caused by an impoverished or polluted condition of this vital fluid. : When the blood is diseased the skin loses its healthy appearance, and the complexion, its freshness and beauty and becomes red and rough and full of pimples and splotches. ItchiHg, scaly eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes break out upon the body when the blood is too poor or too thin and acid, and is not supplying proper nourish ment to the system. Debility, poor appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep and nervousness more often come from slusrerish. imtrare blood than anv other cause. To build up the blood, restore its lost properties and make it rich and nutritious again is the only rational treatment, and the proper way to get rid of skin troubles. There is no remedy like S. S.
