The Geography of the Future.

AS certainly as terrestriel revolutions
continue, in the course of 1000 years,
SAYS q writer in the Popular Science
Monthly for April, there must come an
entire reversal of the polar conditions.
The Southern waters must be drained
of to make the oceans Of an opposite
hemisphere. New lands, enriched
with the sediment of hundred GEN.
turies, will rise up to extend the board
ers of the South continents, and islands
Joining to gether, will expand into
mainlands. At the same time the
Northern continents must be in great
part submerged, and their SUBMITS
and ranges become the bleak islands
and.the bold headlands of tempestous
ocean. Central Asia, with its broad
table lands, may still retain the name
of continent; but beyond few out
lying islands, there will be no Europe
and but little of North America left
The Atlantic waters will stand five
hundred feet over Lake Superior, and
will wash the base of the Rocky Noun
tains in all their length. A new Gulf
Stream may again, as it must often
have done before, flow up the valley OF
the Mississippi, returning the deltas to
the prairies, and remaking the beds of
the garden of the world. These are no
idle or impossible fancies. Not only
are they results of rigorous calculation,
but they accord perfectly with the un-
mistakable evidences which the ocean
has left all over our land, of its recent
work and presence.

THE BOYS

Are we ''the boys" that used to make
The tables ring with noisy follies?
Whose deep-lung'd laughter oft would shake
The ceiling with its thunder-volleys?
Are we the youths with lips unshorn,
At beauty's feet unwrinkled suitors,
Whose memories reach traditions morn
The days of prehistoric tutors!
ssThe boys" we know-but who are these
Whose heads might serve for Plutarch's
sages,
Or Fox's martyrs, if you please,
Or hermits of the dismal ages?
''The boys' we knew-can these be those?
Their cheeks with mornings blush were
painted;
Where are the Harrys, Jims and Joes
With whom we once were well acquainted
If we are they, we're not the same;
If they are we, why then they're masking
Do tell us, neighbor What's your-name,
Who are you Whats the use of asking
You once were George, or Bill, or Ben;
There's you, yourself-that's you, thai
other;
know you now-I knew you then
You used to be your younger brother

POETRY.
w f E ID s 4.
BY EDGAR FAwCETT.

I lean across the sagging gate;
In rough neglect the garden lies,
Disfeatured and disconsolste
Below these halcyon skies.
Der pleasant ways, once trinity kept
And blossoming fair at either verge,
Weeds in rank opulence have swept
Their green annulling surge.
Orders pure wisdom they have crushed
With riot feet in rude disdain,
Like some gross rabble they have rushed
On beauty's bright domain.
But.over them, as though.in soft
Memory of bloom that no more blows,
A rose bush rears one bough aloft,
Starred with one stairless rose.
Above these weeds whose Tuffan power
So coarsely envies what is fair,
She bends her GghtsOme dainty flower
With such patrician air.
That while l watch this chaste young rose
Some pale scared queen she seems to be
Across whose palace courtyard flows
The dark mob, ike sea.

An Old Maids Opinion.

If it doesn't make me laugh, and !
can't help it, to hear married people
pity old maids, never thinking for one
moment how an old maid might pity
the married.
Oh, no!
Poor soul, she hasn't any husband!
Poor dear, she hasn't any children
It's so very, very sad.
OF course it is, POLITICALLY speaking,
but don't you ever pity a woman for
not marrying until you are quiet sure
what sort of man she hasn't married?
Tve known broken engagement or
two that were really subjects of con-
graduation.
There isn't any other time when a
woman feels SO like feeling of her
shoulder blades to see whether the
wings have sprouted, as when she has
slipped the wrong mans ring off her
the brunt of his hateful temper, or put
up with his neglect, or grow old before
her time because of his unfaithfnlness,
when she stands free again and reBdy
for the right man to come along.
Isuppose a woman never feels quite
certain that the right man won't come
in all her life.
However, we're talking of old maids
and the people who pity them.
1t is all very well to get poetical over
married life and set single women down
as miserable creatures, but like most
theories, the "thing don't wash"
If you get an adOring husband, ready
to cherish and protect you while life
lasts, you're certainly happy woman;
but how many do? One out of fifty,
perhaps.
It's lottery with few lucky num-
bers, and even an old maid doesn't
bitterly envy a woman with a mean or
a quarelsome or neglectful husband-a
woman who is left alone with all her
cares, woman who is slave, not a
wife-nor even always all that falls to
the lot of the best loved wife On earth.
There is peace and rest in life when
one is, ones own mistress, at all events;
when / hear worn out, worried, mat
rons pitying single women often feel
like laughing, it is so funny.-[ Broad

A SHOCKING case of brutality on the
part of master in one of the London
schools towards one of his pupils brings
up again the unwelcome and import
ant subject of fiogging in public and
private schools. 1t appears that the
boy, eleven years of age, had been "be-
hind in his sums" and was ordered by
the master to hold out his hand to be
cut at with the stick. This form of
bastinado is, as many boy knows too
well, acutely painful, and the offender
declined to offer his palm to the sting
ing stroke, whereupon, flying into un-
governable rage, the master struck him
across the face and head with the green
willow stick which was the usual in
strument of magisterial torture in the
seminary in question. So savagely
was the punishment inflicted thaS the
staff broke upon the victim skull, and
the unfortunate child actually lost his
eye-sight in consequence. The school
master absconded when he heard what
had been the result of his violence; but
he was captured shortly afterwards and
put upon his trial. In passing sentence
the Judge said the case gave him a
great deal of pain. The prisoner occu-
pied a position Of highest trust and
greatest importance that any man
could hold in any civilized community
"a position demanding the exercise of
the greatest discretion; but here, with
little if any provocatiOn. the prisoner
attacked the boy with savage ferocity,
and had manned him for life. He
could find no circumstances of pallia-
tion in the case, and he therefore SEN
fenced him to five years penal servi-
tude.

When a man comes home and tries
to bolt his door with sweet potato,
pokes the fire with the spout Of a coffee
pot, attempts to wind up the clock
with his bOot-jack, tries to cut kindling
wood for the morning fire with papar
knile, takes a cold potato in hand to
light him to bed, and prefers sleeping
with his hat and boots on, you may
reasonably infer that he has been max
ing the acquaintance of some very
friendly people.

THERE is something pathetic at this
moment in tie words of President
Adams prayer for the new city OF
Washington. In his last animal ad-
dress to Congress, on the 22d of Novem
Der, 1900, he used these words: "May
this territory be the residence of virtue
and happiness. In this city may that
piety and virtue, that wisdom and
magnanimity, that constancy and self
government, which adorned the great
character whose name it bears, be for
ever held in veneration. Here and
throughout our country may simple
manners, pure morals and true religion
flourish forever"

The prophecies regarding the restor-
alton of the Jews 10 Jerusalem are
somewhat curiously illustrated by the
recent movements of Sir Moses Monte
fore in behalf of purchasing land for
his countrymen there, and for improv-
Ing the material condition of the resi-
dent Jews. He found that recently a
lot of land fifty yards by one hundred,
or five thousand square yards, outside
of the walls of the Holy City had been
sold for q, 900 piastres or about $1,035.
Near by, a lot measuring $4,000 square
yards, with trees and vines, with small
buildings and large cistcrn, was offer
ed for SS,000 A whole village could
be bought at moderate price, and the
Turkish government protessed to be
friendly to the plan of improving the
industry of the country by settlements
and buildings. A company has pur-
chased tract of land near Jerusalem,
with the intention of building upon it
fifty houses. So it is that business and
education are working together with
religion upon the future of civilization.

THE giving way of so large a num-

THE giving way of so large a num-
ber of the New England dams is excit-
ing lively establishment over the cOun-
try, and people are wondering why
such accidents never before happened.
Though they did occasionally occur,
they were never before known of the
ma gnitude or the destructiveness of the
last few disasters of this kind, but the
difference is easily eXplainable. The
dams which are now breaking down
under the unusually heavy pressure
put upon them, are mostly old struc,
lures, built many years ago, when mills
first became great institutions in New
Eng land, and are, therefore, all more
or less weakened by the continual ac-
ton of water and the atmosphere.
Many of them have probably been
ready to fall for years, and their destruc-
ton has only been hastened by the
heavy floods which brought down
freshets from the mountains, and, by
rapidly and Unexpectedly raising the
level of the lakes, augmented the pres
sure on their bottoms and sides.
