He located the site FOR an asylum
for reformed inebriates, which has
since grown into hourishing in

and he projected plan for a tun-
mel under the lake. 1t was also during his
residence here that he composed some of
his most popular melodies, including
"Hail Columbia" and Columbia, the
Gem of the Ocean" SO popular had he
become that, had he remained few years
longer, and placed more faith in the fu-
turc greatness of the city, he would have
been elected to the office of Alderman of
the Fifth Ward. But it was not to be.
His old rowing habits proved too strong for
him, and he wandered back to Spain,
where the people scarcely treated him with
civilty. The King sneered at him when
he cndeavered to tell him Of the vast num-
Der of hogs daily slaughtered in Chicago,
the enormous quantities of lager consumed
every hour, the immense superiority of
our NicolsOn pavement, and our admira-
BILE system of police discipline. 1t broke
the old mans heart and he died. But the
people of Chicago still cherish his mem
Ory with gratitude, and it has become
popular belief with all right-minded citi-
zens that if Columbus had not discovered
America some other man would. There

OycrtaXing Children in School.

AT the recent meeting of the Wisconsin
State Medical Society paper was read by
DIR. WaterhOuse of Portage City, On the
subject of debility in children, especially
with reference TO the evils Of overtaXing
children in school, the facts and suggestions
of which are deemed SO valuable that a
resolution was adopted, requesting IFS
general publication by the press. We
copy few passages:
"In our common schools Of the present
day-everywhere, but more especially IN
cities and the larger villages, where the
best teachers are sought and generally OBJ
tained-cvcry inducement, every incentive
that can be devised and brought To bear 20
stimulate and encourage study is faithfully
and pcrsistently applied. The consequence
is that many OF our brightest children, of
from six 10 ten years OF age, are perform
ing more stuCy, more mental labor, than
most of the business men, or more than
their teachers. / am aware that many
children are sluggish in temperament, and
viii bear and seem TO require more urging
to Get them 10 learn; vet with many Of
this class, it is their rapid growth that
takes away their energy, and even ability
to study; and, consequently, you must
fail to get them to learn much until they
cease TO grow so rapidly; or, ii You sue
ceed in getting study out of them, you in
duce anemia. What else can you eNpCct2
You cannot get more from the blood than
there is i'm it and since the blood must

Some Queer Calculations.

HAVE you not often heard, or read,
statement like this? The earth has been
dug over many times To bury the millions
who have lived on its surface Do YOU
belive this? If you do, just follow me in
a calculation. The present population Of
the earth is one thousand millions Now,
suppOsing that at the creation there were
one thousand millions-inStead of one
pair-and NJ the end of thirty years, they
died and were buried, and their places
taken by another one thousand millions;
and so on through the six thousand years.
This would give us grand total OF two
hundred thousand (200000 000000l mil
lions Where can this immense and al
most incOnceivable number be buried
Let us see. The earth's surface is 2000 0000,-
coo of square miles This multiplied 10y
21,S1S, 400 (the number of square feet in a
mile), and the product divided by two
hundred million, gives 55,156 square fee.
for each ami every one OF this vast num-
ber This brought into a square gives the
very respectable sized lot OF 2j6 feet each
wav, or nearly 10 rods square.
Not very much crowding or digging
over and over again, is there? Decidedly
better sized lots than Cedar Hill or Spring
Grove affords. II you think | am wrong,
go over with the calculation and convince
yourself Another little calculation, if YOU
please. How much room, think you,
would the thousand millions now on the
earth require to stand upon were they all
brought together? Figures viii tell.
Draw circle ten miles in diameter on
some smooth plain, and place 4 church
bell in the center, and every one of the
900, 100000 could hear 1t when struck.
Such a circle would give TO each of this
immense number two square tect-or a
space about seventeen inches square.
Rather more crowded than the buying
ground, | admit, but still more than
enough for the small ones, rather scant
perhaps, for the Lamberts-yet, on the
whole, very good average. Don't you
think such gathering would beat the
Hub Jubilee? Perhaps Gilmore will try
it. He can do it if anybody can. The
only trouble is, Boston does not afford a
spot large enough, and Of course il could
never be done anywhere else.-NfrJord

At last the strike was over. The min
ers were going to work again, and there
would be better times every body

Mr. Capital was SO delighted that he
took one Of his daughters down with him,
and left her at Mr.. Blacks cabin until he

visit other mines in which he was inter
ested.i
Helen was the little girls name. She
had never before been at the mines, and
she was delighted with every thing that
she saw.
To please Bell, Mrs Black had put on
the best appearance possible in view OF
IIelen's visit. The children were made 10
look nicely, and the house was carefully
put in order.

ternoon waned, and il was almost time for
the miners to come up, " now we could get

coming. You know how he aoiU look, as
black as any thing, and Helen viii have To
see him and know that its my father It's

Bell.

Helen, coming into the room.

said Jimmy. "Tn go with you-Belrs

"You go" said Bell, "and I'll come by

| to wait until the worst was over, and
Helen had found out Just what a coarse,
common miner her father was, but she
meant it, and staid in the cabin and pccrcd
out from the windows.
Presently there was a stir around the
shaft Bell shivered. She knew her father
was coming up.
Mrs Black was busy in the little ki;ch-
en-, preparing supper. Her husband car
ried cold dinner down into the mine.
but when he came up he always expected
his dinner-supper, as he called il, to bc
ready
She toiled away for few minutes, and
then she looked into the room where
Bell was I" Isn't it time for him. she
asked.
"He didn't come up in the first Eft to-
night" said Bell. There's another one
coming now"
Presently in came Jimmy and Helen.
"MOtheri mother" sobbed Jimmy,
they're bringing him up. Something's

long pain that will grow into her heart,
for her father never came up out of the
nine to cause her TO be ashamed of him
before Helen.
The miners brought him out, dead by
black damp. Bells prayer was granted.
She will never hide again lest she should
blush to see her father coming up the shaft.
She is no longer a miners daughter

A LETTER from Russia 20 the New York
Post saws that a few weeks ago peascnt,
shabbilv clothed and illiterate, came into
the Treasury at Poltsva, and asked if they
could change some old paper money for
the new issue. He was asked how much
he had, and he said he did not know: that
he and his wife had counted all one day
and all the day after, and had not finished.
An officer was sent 10 assist, and the peas
ant took up a board from the floor and
showed bundles of notes packed away IN
various things which, on being counted,
amounted 10 about $4,000 roublcs. There
were some 5000 more i'm gold and silver;
He was asked where he got 50 much, ana
he said that his grandfather bad saved up,
that his father had saved up, and that he
himself had saved up. Suspicious were OF
course entertained that he had come 10y
this money dishonesty but the whole
family had borne good character, and, ON
inquiry, there was no reason for detalnlng
him, and his money was changed for him
into new notes. Such cases of boarded mp
money are said to bc quite commsh among
the peasants. -

sTHE CHERRY WOOD CLOCK


BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN, JR.
WITH a cherry wood case.
And jolly round face
Standing just in the niche in the wall.
Ticking ali night and day,
In the steadiest way,
Is an Od-fashioned clock in the hall.
There's spot on the face,
And there's many trace
vi scratch and a scar on the wood;
And the hands made of brass.
With an odd shadow pass
" or dial that ages have stood.
Yet the old clock is ticking,
The second hand picking
lis way round tO - 60 so sure;
And II strikes with ring,
Like an animate thing
All the while looking old and dcmure.
All. that cherry-wood clock,
Standing firm a. rock,
Looking down on the folks of to-day,
Could tell tales OF its own,
In It's own solemn tone,
vi the past in its old-fashioned way.
1t has ticked slow and strong,
In It's monotone song,
When the house was all quiet and still
IL has spoken 40 loud.
Almost Joyous and proud,
when the blast without whistled so shrill.
u has licked with the bell,
That a wedding would tell
III has tlcked. keeping time, with the song;
Ii has licked at the birth
OF a soul brought 20 earth.
To battle and grow with the strong
1t has licked through the night,
When the small shaded light
Saw the weary, fond watchers above,
With the breath diving fast,
Ere the life-lea<e was past,
Of parent or child whom they love.
Ut has licked 10 the tread.
As they carried the dead
Through the old fashioned hallway and door,
And IL licked right along.
just as steady and strong.
When the funeral service was DER.
'Tis an honest old hand.
With dingy brass band.
Tracing round the old dial each day,
l;ut IL seems to foretcll,
With mystical spell,
How swiftly our lives pass away.
'Tis an heirloom at best,
Looking odd. with the rest
of the modern apparel and wear:
With Its wandering gaze,
At the present odd ways
or the new generation and fare.
There's problem to solve,
AZ the hands slow revolye
Whether modern folks. manners and ALL
Are a true and as good
A. the old folks so rude
Whose hands placed the clock in the hall.
