SAD FATE OF An INVENTOR.

\ gentleman who has just arrived
from the borlx fields of the desert re-
EiOnS Surroune ing the town OF Column
bus, i'll the eastern part of the state.
gives us the following account of the
sad fac of Jonathan \ewhou>e. Il man
nj considerable inventive genius.
\ewhou>e had constructed what he
called "solar armor, an apparatus
intended to protect to wearer from the
fierce heat of the sun in crossing dcS-
crts and burning alkali plains. The
ar,nor consisted of Il long, close fitting
jacket, made of common sponge, and
cap or hood of the same material; both
Jacket and hood being about an inch
in thickness. Before starting across Il
desert this armor was to be saturated
with water. Under the right arm was
suspended an India rubber sack filled
with water. ana having II gutta percha
tube leading to the top Of the hood. In
order to keep the armor moist, all that
was necessary to be done by the trav
eler. As he progressed over the burn
ing sands, was to press the sack Occa-
sionally, when small quantity OF wa
ter Would he forced up and thoroughly
saturate the hood and the jacket below
1t. THUS. by the evaporation of the
moisture in the arinor, il was calculat
q might I've produced almost any de-
gree of cold.
Newhousc went down to Death Val
ley, determined to try the experiment,
of crossing that terrible place in his
armor. lie started ont into the valley
one morning from the camp nearest
its borders, telling the men at the
camp, as they laced his armor on his
back, that he wruld return in two
days The next day "A" Indian. who
could speak hut a few words of Eng
li>h, came to the camp in u grea, state
OF excitement. lie made the men I'M
dcr>tand that he wanted them to fol-
low him. At the distance ut abou,
twenty miles on, into the desert the
Indian pointed To 4 human figure
seated against Il rock. Approaching,
they found it To be Newhou>c still in
his arnuor. lie was dead and frozen

Don't Quarrel.

One of the most easy, the most COM
mon, and most perfectly foolish things In
ne world is-to quarrel, no matter with
whom, man, woman, or child, or upon
what pretense, p. ovocation, or occasion
whatsoever. There is no kind of neces-
s:ty in it, no manner of use in it, and no
species of degree of benefit to be gained
by it. And yet, strange as the fact may
be, theologians quarrel, and politicians,
church quarrels, and the State quarrels;
nations, and tribes, and corporations,
men, women, children, dogs and cats,
birds and beasts quarrel about all manner
of things, and on all manner of occa-
sions. If there is anything in the world
that will make a man feel bad, except
pinching his fingers in the door, it is un-
questionably quarrel: No man ever
fails to think less of himself after than
he did before one-it degrades him in his
own eyes and in the eyes of others-and,
what is worse, blunts his sensibility to dis
grace on the one hand and increases the
power of passionate irritability on the
other The reason people quarrel about
religion is because they really have 30
little of il, and the harder they quarrel
the more abundantly do they prove it.
Politicians need not quarrel. Whose

principle of INSTRUMENTATION of thought,
moral liberty, without which there is
nothing in politics worth a groat; it is
therefore wrong upon principle. You
have on this subject right to your own
opinions, SO have others; you have right
to convince them, if you can; they have
the same. Exercise your rights, but
again say-dOn't quarrel.
The truth is, the more quietly and
peaceably we all get on, the better-the
better for ourselves, the better for our
neighbors. In nine cases out of ten the
wisest policy is, if man cheats you, to
quit dealing with him; if he is abusive,
quit his company; if he ISLANDERS you, I'M =
less there be something outrageous to
complain of, the wisest way is generally
Just to let him alone, for there is nothing
better than this cool, calm, quiet way of
dealing with most of the wrongs we meet

CHUBB Is an unfortunate man. He is
bald, and he uses some renovator every
night before going to bed, for the purpose
of making his hair grow. He forgot it
on Wednesday until after he was in bed
and then he rose, and as he knew just
where the bottle was he thought it was
hardly worth while to strike light. He
CROPPED around in the closet until he found
the bottle, and pouring out some of the
stuff into his hand he rubbed his scalp
well with it; after doing this a second
time he put the bottle back and went to
bed. During the night the baby got to
crying, and Mrs. Chubb rose and lit the
gas; as soon as she did so she glanced at
Chubb and began to scream. He woke
and tried to rise, but found his head held
firmly to the bolster. Then Mrs. Chubb
screamed louder than ever. Chubb, in
serious alarm, jumped out of bed, carrying
the bolster with him in his arms. AS he
came opposite the mirror he perceived
that his head was perfectly black, and
upon making an examination he found
that he had rubbed his scalp with his
wie's shoe varnish. 1t was dry and hard,
and immovably fixed to the bolster-cas
He has not been out of the house since.
He soaks his head three times a day in
warm water and has still patches of black
distributed all over it, like GASES in the
desert. But this doesn't worry Mrs.
Chubb as much as the condition of the
bolster case. That is ruined. 1t had to
be cut away to give Chubb freedom.

A Japanese Normal School.

THE Normal School at Tokei was es-
tablished in order to obtain a supply of
properly trained teachers for new graded
schools, which, according TO the scheme
of the Education Department, are to num-
Der over $4,000. 1t was begun in the fol-
lowing manner: A class of twenty five
picked young men was formed, and began
the study of English. They were fresh
and unspoiled, and learned with great ra-
pidity. At certain point, as soon as
they could understand the ordinary ex-
pressions of their foreign instructor, the
study Of English was dropped. They had
been taught far, simply for the pur-
pose of becoming familiar with the man.
ner in which foreign teacher instructs a
class, and maintains discipline. 1t was
something very different from what they
hal been accustomed to. In Japanese
schools, a teacher usually takes a class of
six or less, and instructs each scholar sep
arately. They know nothing of reciting
in concert, and the discipline in a large
school is, in respect of noise and irregu-
lar attendance, about equal to that of the
very worst country schools at home.
As soon as these young men had learned
how Il class in foreign school is taught
and managed, little children were
brought in, formed into classes, and the
young men set to teach them. This they
did in the presence, under the eye and by
the aid of their foreign instructor. The
latter did not know japanese, nor did he
need it. At present there are 80 young
men from all sections of the Empire in
training to be teachers.-Corresp0aad

BABYS WALK.


BY OLIVER A. wADswORTH.
On bright and beautiful summers day
Mr.. Baby thought best to go walking away;
His little white sack he was well buttohed in,
And his shady hat WAS tied under his chin
One hand was tight clasped in his nurses own;
The other held fast little white stone:
There hung by his side his new tin sword,
And thus he began his walks abroad.
He walked and he walked; and by and by
He came to the pen where the piSgy-wigs lie;
They rustled about in the straw III front;
And every piggy said, Grunt, grunt, grunt!"
So he walked and he walked; and, what do You
BE came p the trough where the horse was
He cried, Go along. Get up old spot!"
And the horse away with q trot, trot. trot.
So he walked and he walked; and he came at last
To the yard where the sheep were folded fast;
He cried through the crack Of the fence,
And all the old sheep said /" Baa, baa, baa!"
So he walked and he walked till he came to the
pond.
OF which all the ducks and the duckiings are
He saw them swim forward, and saw them swim
And all the ducks said was, "Quack, quack,
quackl"
So he walked and he walked; and it came to
That he reached the field where the cows eat
grass;
He said with bow. Pray, how do you dof"
And the cows all severed, Moo, moo, moo!"
So he walked and he walked to the harvest
ground;
And there dozen Of turkeys he found;
They were picking the grasshoppers out OF the
And all the turkeys said, "Gobble, gobble,
goblet"
So he walked and he walked to the snug little
house
Where Towser was sleeping as still as a mouse;
Then the baby cried out, Halloo. old Towi"
And the dog walked up with " Bow, WOW,
wow!"
So he walked and he walked till he came once
more
To the sunshiny porch and the open door:
And mamma looked ont with q smile, and said,
" It's time for my baby to go to bed
So he drank his milk, and he ate his bread;
And he walked and he walked to his little bed;
And with the sword at his eide and the stone In
his hand
He walked and he walked to the SleeDy Land.

A Victim of CircumstantiaI Evidence.

THE other day Lawyer johnson went
out of town for the afternoon and left the
office in charge of the boy. AS soon as
he had fairly got out of sight the boy
hailed Scoville's boy, and bringing him
into the Office the two sat down to game
of seven-up. They were playing with
great spirit, continually accusing one an
other of cheating. and getting up and
throwing books at each others head, and
sitting down again to resume the game,
and generally enjoying themselves as
much as if they had both been orphans
and there were no apple-tree switches in
the country. After this had gone on for
an hour or two, and Lawyer Johnson's
boy had nearly "broken" Scovilles boy
by winning five of his seven cents, the
Rev. Mr. Smiley happened in to ask Mr..
johnson about when he ought to have a
donation party. The two boys were caught
and there was no use in lying about it,
although Lawyer Johnson's boy showed
the effects of his legal education by at
once beginning to swear that he could
prove an 0libi when the proper time should
come. Good Mr.. Smiley thought he would
just talk kindly to the boys, and so he sat
down with them at the table, and picking
up the cards began to ask them If they
had any mothers, and if so what those
mothers would say to see their sons
gambling and whether they were prepared
to die with their hands full of aces and
jacks, and how they would explain this
matter in a future world. Just then old
Biggs came in, and said, Hello! Play
ing the boys little euchre, are you?
Don't mind if take hand myself" Mr..
Smiley replied, very sternly, that he
didn't know the game to which he
alluded. "Don't know it, hey?" said old
Biggs; well, what was you APPLYING,
bOyS?" "Seven-up," answered Lawyer
Johnson's boy, with great promptness.
sorry to hear it. Seven-up amt no game
for a minister, Mr. Smiley. Euchre, now,
is nice, genteel game; but l never
thought you'd play seven-up, and for
money, too. Ii you're goin' TO play for
money, poker's your best hold. I'll play
you myself now for half an hour-ten-
cents ante and dollar bets. Here's my
pile, You see''-and that graceless old rep
rebate pulled out his pocket-book and
drew up another chair to the table. Mr.. |
Smiley sat speechless, holding the cards
in his hand, when in came Scoville and
colIared his boy. AS he dragged him |
away to execution, he remarked to Mr.. |

parent I'll call on your deacOns to ask |

a backslider, L am! To be sure. OF

sarcasms he withdrew, and the
question which now agltateS the village |
is whether old Biggs did lose fifty dollars

A Noble Sch00l.BOy.

ScHooLrKAcHERs suffer many annoy
ances, and generally the hardest part
the afaiction is the trying to ind out
"who did it" If all offending pupils
were as honorable as the hero of the fol.
lowing incident, the labor of school dis
cipline would be lightened, and lessons Of
truth and confidence would be taught as
well as arithmetic, grammar and geogfA-
ply:
Master Walters had been much annoyed
by the whistling of some of his scholars
in school. Whenever he called . boy to
account for such q disturbance the plea
made was that it was unintentional-"h he
forgot all about where he was" This be-
came SO frequent that the master threat
ened a severe punishment to the next
offender.
The next day, when the room was un-
usually quiet, loud. sharp whistle broke
the stiffness. Several scholars asserted
that it was a certain boy who had the rep
utation of a mischiefmaker and liar.
He was called up, and, though with q
somewhat stubborn look, he denied 1t
again and again, commanded to hold out
his hand.
At this instant q little slender fellow
not more than seven years old, and with q
very pale and decided face, rushed for
ward and reached out his hand, saying ~
he did SO:
Mr.. Walters-sir-do not punish him.

in rubbing out another rubbed it out by
mistake and spoiled it all, and before
thought whistled right out. l was very
much afraid, but could not sit there and
act lie when knew who was to blame.
You may ferule me, sir, as you said you
should"
And with all the firmness he could
command he again held out the little
hand, never for q moment doubling that
he was to be punished. Mr.. Walters was
much affected.

form of the delicate child who had made
such a conquest over his natural timidity,
81 would not strike you a blow for the
world. cannot doubt that you speak tho
truth; you did not mean to whistle, my
boy. You have acted nobly and wisely"
The boy went back to his seat with Q
flushed face, and went quietly on with
his sums. He must have felt that every
eye was upon him in admiration, for the
smallest scholar could appreciate the
moral courage of such an action.-Youths

Railroad Across the Andes.

ONE of the grandest works of this age
is now being constructed across the
Peruvian Andes, connecting the Pacific
Ocean with the Amazon River by means
of railroad, and opening the whole in
terror of Peru to the commerce of the
world. Hitherto that rich and immense
ly productive country, SO graphically de-
scribed in the United States reports of
Lieuts. Herndon and Gibbon, has been
virtually locked up to foreign trade; the
transportation of one ton of freight from
the interior of Peru to the seaport, Lima,
costing about three times as much as the
transportation of the same amount of
freight from Lima to Europe. The rail-
road in question was begun in 1870. and
has already cost over $7O,O0O,000. 1t is
estimated that it will be finished in 1876.
Over 10000 laborers, mostly Chinese, are
constantly employed on it. The enor-
nous difficulties that have to be overcome
in the construction of this road may be
estimated from the fact that the Andes
rise there to height of 90, $50 feet above
the level of the sea. The road itself rises
1900 feet, and is by far the highest rail-
road in the world. Even the Mont Gents
Railroad sinks into insignificance when
compared with this Peruvian undertake
ing. The road has also the highest via
duct in the world, it being $50 feet long
and 300 feet high in the center. 1t rests
on three pillars, of which the first is 1856,
the second 1888, and the third 253 feet
high; is built of iron, and was manu-
featured in the United States.
