A SomnanibuIisl's Peril.
new YORK sun


Daniel Hurley, a bod carrier, lives
with his family in the top story OF a
five story brick tenement at 507
East Thirteenth street. On hot
nights he has slept on the roof,
which Is unguarded by any rail, and
on three sides there is sheer decent
to the cobblestones of the rear yards.
On Wednesday night residents in
the neighborhood heard cries for
help and police. Many gathered in
the rear yard, but could not ascertain
the direction whence the voice came.
Mrs. Hurley was aroused, and she ran
about the house calling for her hus-
band. Officer BOylson came quickly,
and soon four or five more policemen
were on the ground. Mrs. Hurley
fell in the street, overcome with ter
Ior.
The officers deserted Hurley dan
Cling in the air at the back Of the
house at Thirteenth street and Ave-
nue. A. In the obscurity Of the
night the men could not sec what
sustained him, but Hurley shouted,
"pm on the clothes line; for Gods
sake, help! / can't hold out much
longer. Pm slipping!" The officers
followed by the neighbors, ran first
to one housetop and then to another,
and at last reached the one from
which Hurley hung. Other officers
placed themselves ia the yard under
the suspended man, that they might
break his fall If he lost his hold.
Hurley family called, Hurry up;
Pm about gone" The policemen
tied clothes line to the rope on
which Hurley lay, and were about
to cut the latter cord from its fasten-
ing in the window, when the staple
by which it was attached to the
house gavo way, Hurley, dangling
at the end, was dropped to point
midway between the house top and
the ground, and there held by the
cord in the hands Of the policeman.
Slowly he was lowered to the ground
where he lay painting and exhausted
for several moments. lie said he
remembered nothing until he found
himself dangling, and then he clutch
cd at the rope. He thought he was
going down stairs to bed until the
rope cut him Then he held on
with both hands, aud called for aid.
Probably he arose in his sleep, and
walked over the roofs TO the edge Of

was his bedroom, and stepped

Removing Warts On Horses.
If the warts be simply attached TO
the skin by neck, they may be re-
moved by tying small waxed cord
of saddler's thread pretty tightly
about the base of the wart. Thus In
q short time they will drop on.
When the warts have broad base,
take a strong three-cornered needle,
threaded with two ligatures Of strong
waved saddler's cord; pass the nee
die through the base at the middle
OF the wart, tie each thread separate
ly, forming the knot with two turns
for the first tie, and finish In the or
binary manner. Cut the ends pretty
close, and in short time the wart
win drop away. Moisten the ex-
posed surface with tincture Of aloes
and myrrh, until they heal. Should
the surface ulcerate, sprinkle with
equal parts Of blood-root and char
coal, pounded. Sometimes warts are
SO embedded In the skin, that they
cannot be eradicated by stranguia-
tion. In this case they may be
burned out, by means of lunar caus-
tic. Sometimes warts are the result
Of a disordered system. In this case,
proper constitutional remedies must
be used.

A petrincd nIarino Monster.


Sonoma county abounds in vegeta-
Bile, animal, and geological wonders.
The latest notable development is
tho discovery of the partly petrified
remains Of monster of the deep on
"a hillside on Watson's ranch, on the
Marin Narrow Gauge railroad, be-
tween Valley Forge and Froestone.
While al work, three days ago, In a
cut, gang Of men, at the depth OF
fourteen feet came upon peculiar
formation, which presents almost
certain indications that il was once
the body OF whale. re lies length
wise Of tho cut, and is about fifty
feet in length, Alexander Wander
moot brought to town specimens OF
the bony part Of the creature, They
are soft and porous, and there can be
little doubt that they are of the body
of a member Of tho iinny tribe. At
the same place were found petriiied
shells of different kinds, and sub.
stance two inches long and about one
inch in diameter at tho base, which
had evidently been the tooth Of
some animal, A bone, four feet
long and eight inches in diameter,
sharp at both ends, was also found.
Boulders nearly round, and weigh

very Accommodating,

Skh AhE04iD Hef&5Ast
This morning an impecunious
tramp was unable to pay his fine, and
tho Recorder ordered him To be lock-
cd up. The City Marshal, however,
said the lookup was crowded, and
not fit to put prisoner in, anyhow,
and he would have 10 try and make
arrangements to place the fellow in
the county Jail The prisoner then
spoke up: "Gentlemen, / see | am
intruding; don't put yourselves out
TO accommodate me. Ill call in
again, when you are not 50 busy"
And long-iegged policeman had 10
follow him three times around the
piazza, over two fences, through a
lagor-beer saloon, and up on top of a
two-stOry chicken-house to tell him
to come back, and they would find q
place for him in the lookup, any
how.

Educational Growth.

davenport democrat.
at the annual session of the Ma
tional Educational Association, held
at Baltimore recently, statistics were
submitted showing the astonishing
growth of the private and public
school system of the United States
during the past one hundred years.
Prior to I775 but nine colleges had
been established, and not more than
five were really efficient. Now
four hundred colleges and univer-
stiles, with nearly $1,000 students
and 300 professors and teachers.
Then little was done for the higher
education OF women; now there are
307 seminaries, 22,445 students, and
2,25J teachers. There are also go
professional schools Of various classes,
having q, go students and $40 in
structors. Then normal schools had
no existence; now there are ia, with
50 400, students and GO instructors.
There were no commercial colleges;
now I27 are in operation, with 25,.
ST. students and SIT instructors.
Then secondary and preparatory
schools name by which to live;
now l,l22 are said to exist, aifording
instruction to l00,503 pupils and
giving employment 10 6,163 teachers.
The Kindergarten, the last and best
of educational institutions, is a very
recent importation. In 1854 we were
blessed with IS Of these human nur-
series, with 1896 pupils aud l25 teach
ers. Now 81 States and Territories
report an aggregate of more than -,
100000 school population, or more
than four times the total population
Of the country in I776. Then the
school enrolment was of course un-
known; now IL amounts to the re-
spectacle figure Of about S,50O,c00.
Then the schools were scattered and
their numbers correspondingly re-
stricted; now they are estimated at
50, 900 employing 100000 teachers.
The total income Of the public schools
Is given at $s2, 0O0, 900; their expendi-

Here il an infallible method Of
discovering the day of the week on
which a given day Of the month any
number of years previous occurred.
10 the number representing your age
at your next birthday add one-fourth
for leap years; this amount divide
by 7, and the remainder counted
back from the day Of the week on
which you were born. For instance
on your next birthday you viii be
"A years old. This divided by 4,
aud the quotient, 6, added to "a,
gives 30, the amount which divided
by Z, the number of days
in a week, gives four weeks
and the remainder Of two days.
Now, If your birthday In 1876 comes
on Monday, count back two days,
and you have the day on which you
were born, Saturday.

Prison shows 252 conyicts in that in

A striking commentary upon the

Treatment similar to that OF iron
ore. The product resulting from
this treatment is reduced to powder

and then shipped to Camden, NJ. j.,
where complete separation h made

of pure nickel averages over 81 a
pound. From 100 TO 500 tons Of ore

A crow was killed recently In the
orchard Of Mr.. Barbric, Of Plymouth,
Me-, aud upon opening his crop,
more than twenty nests Of caterpil-
lar eggs were found, showing that
this much-abused bird had dined on
about 1000 or 5000 caterpillar eggs.
The crow il not only scaveDger,
but very useful also I'm destroying
insects and worms that prey upon
crops. The damage IL sometimes
does to young corn Is more than
connterbalanced by the service IL
renders on the farm. Pr'airi4
