THE PERIL OF MAssING PoPULATIoN.-
Great cities are to-day the destroyers Of the
race. If it were not for accessions from
the country they would become depopulat-
ed. The growth Of cities is an interesting
study. London grew in the reign of Eliz-
abeth, Notwithstanding new buildings were
prohibited within ten miles of the city, and
new houses had been ordered TO he pulled
down within its limits. Sanitary science
suggests the formation of small villages
outside of the cities, as in England, erected
by sanitary architects. The best security
for civilization is the dwelling. To inn
prove the houses of the poor is the work OF
the sanitaran. Let the courts and alleys
aud streets that show the greatest mortality
be pulled down. Houses that produce death
are not property. They are no more so
than diseased meat. The time must come
when the population will be reduced to 80
many to the acre. The poor must be edu-
Gated in the art of healthy living. The
sanitary missionary can do more than the
health officer.-ProE. Stephen Smith.

THE WONDERS OF FLEA.-When flea
is made 10 appear as large as an elephant
we can see all the wonderful parts of its
formation, and are astonished TO find that
it has a coat of armor much more complete
than ever warrior wore, and composed of
strong, polished plates, fitted over each
other, each plate covered like a tortoise
shell, and where they meet hundreds OF
strong quilts project, like those on the back
of porcapine and hedgehog. There is the
arched neck, the bright eye, the transpar-
ent cases, the piercers to puncture the skin,
a sucker 10 draw away the blood, six long
jointed legs, four of which are folded on
the breast, all ready at any moment to be
thrown out with tremendous force for that
jump which bothers one when they want
10 catch him, and at the end of each leg
hooked claws TO enable him TO cling to
whatever he alights upon. A flea can
jump a hundred times its own length,
which is the same as If man jumped six
hundred feet and he can draw load two
hundred times his own weight.

he hugged her right along for half day.
She was so terribly homely that everybody
wondered how he could love her, and by
and by he seemed TO think that an explana-

THE BEST LOVED WoNEN.-u is the
womaniy women who are so tenderly rev.
ereneed on earth, so lovingly mourned and
missed when life's, fitful fever over, they
rest in peace" The mothers whose life

salvation OF their Sons, the "believing

Our fathers God from out whose hand
The centuries fall like grains of sand,
We meet to-day, united, free,
And loyal TO our land and thee,
To thank thee for the era done,
And trust thee for the opening one.
Here, where Of old, by thy design,
The fathers spake that word Of thine
Whose echo is the glad refrain
OF rended bolt and fallen chain,
To grace our festal time, from all
The zones OF earth our guests we call.
Be with us while the new world grcets
The old world, thronglng all It's streets,
UAveiling all the triumphs won
By art or toll beneath the sun;
Aud unto common good ordain
This rivalship Of hand and brain.
Thou who hast here in concord furled
The war-fags Of q gathered world,
Beneath our western skies fulfil
The orieDts mission OF goodwill,
And, freighted with loves golden fleece,
Send back the Argonauts Of peace.
For art and labor met in truce,
For beauty made the bride Of use,
We thank thee, while withal we crave
The austere virtues strong TO save,
The honor proof to place or gold,
The manhood never bought or soldl

He IL a roguish little elf
A gay, audacious fellow
That tramps around in doublet green
And skirt Of golden yellow.
In every field, by every road,
He peeps from 'mong the grasses,
And shows his little sunny face
To every one that passes.
within the cburchyard he is seen,
Beside the headstones peeping,
And shining like golden star
Ger some still form there sleeping.
Beside the house door oft he springs
In all his wanton strsying;
Aud children shout with laughing slee
To find him in their playing.
At eve he dons his nightgown green,
And goes to sleep right early;
Atmorn he spreads his yellow skirts
To catch the dewdrops pearly.
A darling elf IL DAndelion,
A roguish, wanton sweeting;
Yet lie is loved by every child
All give him joyous greeting.

the convention took aay action on the

matter suggests however the propriety
of making no more nominations for

1t looks As ic the friends of Hitchcock
wauid rather give victory to the dem

enemies of Hitchcock would rather let
the democrats carry the day than see
Hitchcock win. Since the Hitchcock
matter is SO disastrous to republicanism
loyalty to the party demands that it
be dropped, and that the Senator
