WAS MUcH OBLIGED. He was an
aged man. His hair was grey and his
face wrinkled, his nose sunburned, and
he arrived at the Central depot Satur-
day morning. As he stood on the
walk a score of voices yelled: "Have
q hack sir?" he said he would. He
got into one, the driver leaped upon
the box, and in FIVE minutes the aged
man was set down at the corner of
Jefferson and Woodward avenues.
The door was opened, and he got
down, and as he started off up the
street he bowed his hoary head, put
on smile, and said: sinister, | am
much obleeged, and I'll do as much
for you some time.

~"Haven't l got better under
shirt than this ? It's split clear down
the back" is what q Upton man
snarled at his wife Sunday morning.
And when the lady looked in and
saw her indignant husband standing
with bis arms run down the legs of
his drawers, and looking for some
place to put bis head through, she
shrieked and ran out of the room to
conceal her emotion.

s~The wise man, concious of su-
perior talent, and the philanthropist
DESTROYS of public veal, and even the
interested man, who looks to his per-
sonal advantage and progress, must
give to themselves and their energies
to studies which the immediate wants
of their fellow-men, even though their
directed efforts fail of the desired re-
suits. And the simple reason is, that
if the. best qualified minds decline to
undertake this task, it will most as
suredly be assumed by the ignorant
and presumptious.-Dr. Biglo,c.

The president OF the national board OF fire
Underwriters in his last report gives some inter-
esting statistics. He states that one insurance
company sssert that, in their opinion, 60 per
cent OF their losses is directly or indirectly
trscesble TO arson; two companies report 50 per
cent; one company 10 per cent; one 81 per
cent; two 80 per cent; three . per cent, and
one 12k per cent, while a company organized
only one year report that of all their losses no
Hes than % per cent. Is attributable, In their
belief, ts incendisrism. The stringent regula-
fions adopted since the Chicago and Boston fires
have had q very desirable effect, and has stopped
the erection OF unsafe buildings and fiimsy
Mans ard roofs In populous quarters No wooden
Msnssrds have gone up in the Boston burned
district since the adoption Of the schedule rates
and Chicago has been rebuilt on the same safer
plan.

The GrapAie objects to the suggestion OF
Senator Morrill, to convert the Washin zton
Monument into an arch, that there Is no more
sense In building an arch then In completing
the monument, sand If the one can't be done
why undertake the other?' Ii som sthing use
full Is wanted, it says, why not take the materia
and build National Library. ''It is wanted
badly enough. 1t might be made both useful
aud ornamental, and as q me mortal would be
worth q dozen arches" And we would add
that much as National Library building is
needed, the material in the unfinished monu-
ment would not go far towards its construction,
and would be altogether unit from the shape of
the blocks, for use, unless recut entirely.
Neither Is the material of the monument coarse
MAJ ble) suitable in kind or quality for library
building. Then, what Is to be done with All
the memorial stones contributed from all quar-
ters OF the world TO the memory of George
Washington, and which DOW have a fitting
place in the monument? On the whole the
simplest, most sensible, patriotic, and econom-
ical plan IL 70 flush the shaft az a monument,
emitting the incongruOus and much-critic1sei
feature OF the Egyptian temple at its base.

simplicity be q most imposing and i'm sressi We

In a small way how effective a simple shaft of
this description, is, in the monumental line.

The Massachusetts Flood.

The Details OF the accident In Hampshire
county, Massachusetts,, call TO mind the remark
able realistic description OF Q similar food tn at
fOrms the most exciting chapter In Charles
Resde's novel, "Put Yourself In His Place"
In AL the particulars OF the discovery of the
fatal leak In the embankment OF the great
r, servoir high mp among the hills; the fearful
Ispidity with which the leak gained from the
q in sire Am nrst poticed at the small crack in the
crown Of the embankment, until the vas. boy
OF pent-u1 water leapt out from it, bounds, car
lying all before IL; the subsequent incident OF
the messeng ger horsemAn galloping down the
valley to warn the people; the incredibly with
which the warning was at first received; and
the general features OF the scene of destruction,
the story OF the novelist, Is almost literally that
o. the matter -of-fsct reporter Of the food in
Massachusetts,. The fact illustrated In both Is
the immense power Of water in motion AMI
upon artificial entertainments which restr ain its
course in one direction. And Reade's story
though given with the graphic descriptive
touches or which he Is master, is really little
more than the actual narrative o. q similar
flood that occurred at Sheffield England, on
March IL, 1864, when the Brsdhsld water reser-
weir burst and sent its waters to carry death
and disaster throughout the nelghborhoo1 of
the great manufacturing city, Sheffield, and
The country for fourteen or fifteen miles about
~ vas tAAch hOOucu hun1reOS Oh buildings and
much property were destroyed, as well as the
lives of about two hundred and fifty persons.
Tie carnage dene and number of lives
lest will be nearly a. great In this case.
OF course there viii be disposition to blame
the engineer who laid the embankment, but
II would seem 10 have been constructed of
great thickness, and with all apparent solid
ity, but the difficulty is in making any artificial
embaDkment sufhcisntly strong to resist the
enormous pressure from a body OF water re-
strained at an elevation. The piled up earth
Will crumole or crack at some unsupported
point, and the prisOned volume of water, al
most as heavy as quicksilver, and yet more mo-
bile and penetrating, speedily finds the tiny
oFening and widens IL into q free channel The
devastation carried by the food down the valley
OF the Pstspsco some years ago, dspspulating
Eilicott city and other villages and settlements,
vii be remembered As illustrative OF the fear

Reformation Instead of Punishment

Legislators, citizens, and philanthropis:s
throughout the civilized world are at last wis ,,y
turning their attention to q more humane and
economical method Of dealing with criminal
offenders than the present. The cruel, harden

Centuries have defed Christianity, are gradu.

which demands that an erring child the yicti an

temptation, and trained for a useful career.
Ii Is demonstrated that every dollar expended
in the reformation OF youthful criminal ia a
wise investment for the future welfare of the
state; that constructing q sufficient number OF
reform schools To provide for the proper train
Ing OF all outcast children, would render station
houses, jsils, and slmshouses almost entirely
unnecessary. In the cities OF New York, PhiIs-
celphis and Boston, 80 per cent. Of the paupers

Iiousiy from hand to mouth from Childhood.
