" How do you know you were fast asleep"
{" was under Mammy's wing
Stretching my legs like anything,
When all Of a sudden turned around
For close beside mo heard sound
little tip and little tap
4" Fiddle-de-deel You'd had nap,
And when you were only half-awake,
HeartlSan icicle somewhere break.
I" What's an icicle?" " 1 don't know;
Rooster tells about ice and snow,
Something that isn't IA good as meal,
That drops down on you and makes you squeal.
Well swallow BOOSTERS tales, beg!
And think you didn't come out OF an egg!
tell you heard the old shell break,
And tdo first small noise YOU ever could make
And Nanny croodled, and pulled her breast,
And pushed us further out OF the nest,
just 20 make room enough for you
And there's your she'll say it's true!H
Chip looked over his shoulder then,
And there IL lay by the old gray hen
Half an egg-shell, Clipped and brown.
And he was a ball OF yellow down,
Clean and clipper, and smart and spry,
With the pertcst bill and the blacklist eye.

" That il a wonderful piece OF work!
Peep, you silly! don't You see
That shell is Mt nearly as big as me?
Whatever you say, Miss, declare

"You did !" says Peep. Il didn't" says Chip
With that he gave her horrid nip.
And Peep began TO dance and peck,
They pranced, and struck, aud oSpered about
Their toes turned in and their wings spread out
As angry as two small chicks could be,
Till Mother Dorking turned to se.
She cackled and clucked, and called in vain
AT 1t they went with might and main
Till, at last, the old hen used her beak,
And Peep and Chip, with many a squeak,
Staggered of on either side,
With very funny skip and stride
"What dreadful nonsense :" said Mother Hen,
When she heard the story told again;
"You're bad as the two-legs that don't have
wings,
Nor feathers nor combs--the wretched things.
That's the way they fight and talk
For what isn't worth a mullien-stalk.
What does il matter, I'd like to know,
Where you came from, or where you go?
Keep your temper and earn your food;
/ can't scratch worms for a fighting brood,
won't have quarrcls-I will have peace;
Matched out chickens, so don't be geese!"
Chip scratched his ear with his yellow claw,
The meekest chicken that ever you saw;
And Pep in her feathers curled one leg,
And said TO herself /: Z" But he irds egg -

A BRIEF telegram from London, few
days ago, announced the death of Lady
Jane Griffin Franklin, the venerable wild
ow of Sir John Franklin, the great Eng
lish navigator. The devotion OF this
noble woman to the memory of her hus-
band has made her famous wherever the
story of her heroic efforts to learn It'd
ings of him in the far north is known.
She was born in 1902, and was the sec
ond wife of Sir John, their marriage hav-
ing occurred in 1928. She went with
her husband to Van Diemen's Land In
1886. The Erebus and Terror sailed IN
1915, and no tidings of them having
been gained, in 1850 Lady Franklin sent
out ship at her own expense on voy-
age of discovery, and again in 1857 sent
out the steamer Fox, under Captain
McClintock, who, in thesummer OF 1899,
discovered on the shore of KING Will
liams Land record deposited by her
husbands company in 1913. This docu-
ment stated that Sir John died June II,
1S47, and that the ships were abandoned
April %, 1S4S. Still Lady Franklin was
not satisfied, and always chung to the
belief either that her husband was alive
or that some of the party, or further
news of them might be found. The
Pandora, the last ship fitted out by
Lady franklin, left England for the
Arctic regions only few weeks ago.

Decline of the Worlds Shipping.

A tabular statement published showing
the number of vessels III each principal
country in the world at the close of the
year of 1870 and also at the close of 1874
shows decrease of 5,629 vessels during
that time, and about 100000 tons, the
falling off being most marked in Great
Britain, which lost, during the period
under review, 1927 vessels, while the
American exhibit shows falling off of
only 156. The decrease in the British
fleet may be ascribed chiefly to the
severity of the winters for several years
number of vessels. These have been in
part, but not fully, replaced, owing to
the dizziness of the carrying trade for
year or more. American shipping has
also suffered largely from rough weather
also suffered largely from rough weather
for several years past, and to greater
extent than usual, but the loss has been
almost entirely replaced. Besides, in
considering the American figures, it
should be remembered that only the
"seagoing" vessels are in the list, while
| if coastwise" were counted, the num-
Der would be greatly increased, and that,
! too, by vessels which in many cases are
as seaworthy as the seagoing" craft of
| the Mediterranean. When we consider the
immense coast line of the United States
larger than that of any other country in
the world-this fact, as an element of
comparison, is of the first importance.
In regard to tonnage, the United
States has gained little the percentage
in 1874 was 1902 of the whole, against
400 in 1870. Great Britain last year
possessed 37.0S per cent, while in 1870
she had 1859 per cent. The total, it
will be seen. shows falling off of L.

LAST spring Prof. Riley, OF Missouri,
one of the most skillful entomologists In
the world, studied the physiology and
habits of the locust, observed the nature
of its parasitic foes, and then predicted
that most of the grasshoppers would per-
ish long before harvest, and that the
survivors would emigrate to some dis
tant field. The prediction has been
fully verified. The locusts that survived
the climate and the attacks of the insect
world took wing and vanished from all
the counties where they had found foot
hold, "toward the Rocky Mountains !"
through the Montana windgap and to
the northwest passage, perhaps. He
may attack the Alaskan banana crop, but
it is hoped that Ii will whet his beak
against the volatile iceberg of the north,
and become another victim to Arctic ex
plontion. He will doubtless be fol
lowed with mingled gratitude and So
hcitude by all the inhabitants of the
State.

Lynch Law i'm Mississippi.

A Memphis (Tenn.) dispatch says ::
A young lady residing at Iuka, Miss,
was brutally outraged and beaten at the
depot while waiting for an escort at an
early hour by negro hack-driver named
Lewis Thompson. During the struggle
she bit him on the cheek which led to
his capture last Monday. He was ar
raigned for trial, and yesterday senten-
ced to the Penitentiary for life. The
greatest excitement ensued upon the an
nouncement of the verdict, as the lady
was poor and unprotected, but highly es-
teemed by all the citizens. The excite
ment eliminated last night in party of
disguised men going to the Jail and tax
ing Thompson down near the depot and
hanging him. This morning the body
was cut down by the Sheriff and in

THE Illinois railroad companies have
surrendered to the ticket scalpers, the
melancholy conclusion having been
forced upon them that the law passed
last winter to break up the scalpers'
business was unconstitutional. The
public are interested in this matter to o
large extent, and they will not regret
that the inalienable right to sell mer-
chandise should receive this striking
illustration. At the same time they will
as heartily rejoice at the punishment OF
any ticket-scalper who shall purchase
stolen tickets as they would in the case
of the keeper of any common fence
house.

The point to which gold has fallen,
during the last few days, gives the
Treasury officials at Washington more
confidence in the practicability of en-
forcing the law for the substitution of
silver for fractional currency. If gold
can be long maintained at this point,
they hold that greenbacks are worth as
much as gold, and silver coin can be
foated. The plan of the Treasury is, in
the event that the gold premium shall
warrant it, to put in circulation about
October the very considerable amount of
silver coin already on hand, and which
can easily be coined, and to keep it
floating by the monthly coinages.

Col. GILDERsLEEvE seems to have
thought it necessary to dissipate the i'm
preston that this country was "a land of
rifemen." 1t was only the day after the
Dollymount contest that an Irish paper
spoke of us as I" a nation of forty mill
ions, who are familiar with the rifle from
their CRADLE and no doubt it was sim
cere in thinking that our infants went to
Central Park with Remingtons slung to
their backs for fear of Indians, and that
hotel sojourners in New York could have
for breakfast the buffalo they had shot
about sunrise.

The system Of direct importation OF
foreign goods to interior citi IS is having
its effect on the commerce of the port of
New York. New York's imports of
merchandise for the fiscal year ending
with June 80 were 1856, 100000, against
1916, 000,0 600 in 1874 and S4l3, 600, 600 in
1873. The exports Of merchandise were
1922, 900, 900, against $304,00O,000 in
1874 and S27O,OOO,OOO in 1878. The
total volume of trade has therefore de-
creased over $50, 600, OOO in one year.

OWING to the scarcity of white paper
in the South during our late civil war,
many Confederate journals were printed
on colored paper of various hues. A
New York magazine, devoted to unre-
stricted expression of public opinions,
especially those of the most advanced
kind-we forget its title, although it
might be called once sn q While, as it
appears ENTHUSIASTICALLY, rs it were-is
printed on vario-colored paper. But
color in journalism has been adequately
tested only in China, where Shanghai
journal recently doubled its sale once
by printing its daily edition on vermilion
paper, and another time by announcing
in blue the death of Prince Tung- Che.
