DEAR FREEMAN-Please find the following re-
marks on and solutions 10 some of the problems
given in the Puzzle Department in last weeks is
sue: First presume what your wilmore cores
pondent desires is cicu ate tho cubic ih ches in
the surface of the earth. Well this can be easily
done-simply by multiplication, then divide it by
H0ci 0f pigeons; that is, provided they were built
up or piled up on true sphere, but that is the
difficulty, for the author says they would fill land
and sea. Then in order to have the answer cor
rect. it would be necessary to know the cubic
inches IN all seas ana oceans divide by two and add
the qaotient to the numbr already und. Then
hiid the cubic inches in all the and, hills noun
tains, buildings and animals, above the level of
the sea, and deduct that, after being divided by
from the number already found, ami then your
friend will have the true answer. l wish the au
thor to work it out. for my opinion is hat no per
son except the "gpilmore ig,,tuino cltIcul1f. ~,
can do 1t. Now, for sake of inform alton 1 would
request that the lightning caIcuIat wouid toll
us where so many pigeons found feed enough
which method of enumeration he uses the French

furnish the information desired.

The Unfortunate Children.

The inmates of the best reformatory
school in England, as was proved by the
report submitted to Parliament, give
evidence of the want of domestic train
ing, the lack of the thousand little ten
dernesses, sacrifices, even the childish
squabbles of home life, at the institu-
tion the girls come out of these mills
at eighteen hard, ca1lous, morbid,
totally unfit for any work in family or
for the care of children the boys
equally hard, but rebellious and in
both were seen defiance of the world,
either dull or fierce, the inevitable result
OF long compression under inexorable
rules.
The child has never had it's own rag
baby, or broken toy, it's own corner of
the fire, its own brothers and sisters to
watch or kiss or perhaps fight with, and
more than all, its own mother ; it has
been one of a class, cipher in q great
multitude; it has been fed, dosed,
drilled in a row of thousand. All the
feeling, the anger, the hot blood which
has been barred down so long under an
unnatural system, is bound to break out
at last. In the cottage plan more re
Gently adopted each child is received
into family ; care is taken that they
shall be honest, clean, and kindly folk
if they are not the lady visitors soon dis
cover the fact and remove the child.
The supervision and guardianship of the
child thus rest ultimately with educated
Christian women, and not with paid I'M
cultured employees, such as are usually
placed in charge of reformatories, with
such sad results.

A Sad Story.

Some weeks ago, during a heavy
storm, says the Santa Barbara (Cal.
Press, word was brought in to our
county authorities that a woman was
lying out in the open air with child
that had just been born. Accordingly
Mr.. Rynerson at once dispatched hack
to bring her in, and she was taken to
the st. Charles Hotel. She gave her
name as Mrs. Gertrude Ward From
what we can CLEAN of her history it ap-
pears that she came from New York
with her husband, and at Chicago, either
Intentionally or otherwise, she got sep
arated from him and was several miles
on her journey toward California before
she missed him. At San Francisco she
got on board steamer going South,
with the intention, as she afterward
stated, of jumping overheard. She got
off here and wandered out in the coun-
try, where she was overtaken by the
storm and gave birth to the child. She
appeared very Respondent during her
sojourn at the hotel, and ended her
misery by taking dose of poison. The
story bears upon the face of it cruel
case of desertion by the man who swore
to protect and cherish her. Surely there
is Nemesis that will overtake villain
who will betray woman and desert her
in the hour Of her need. Her troubles
have now ceased.

Winter life I'm Siberia.

A letter from Siberia says: "Our din
ner party in the eyening-and it was
really q dinner party-was extremely
merry. Each one laid his stores under
contribution. Some brought out frozen
bread, others frozen caviere, others still
frozen preserves, others again sausages
which could not be bent even if put
against the knee and pulled with all the
strength OF both arms. Can you imagine
without laughing the appearance pre-
sented OF seven half-famished people
sitting ut table with thirty different
dishes before them, and unable to touch
one of them, except at the risk of break
ing their teeth9 Nothing could be done
except to wait patiently for the dishes
to be thawed. Gradually, as each ar.
ticle of food softens, faces brighten, and
when at last knife entered one of the
dishes there were shouts of triumph,
which announced the beginning of the
meal. At the close of the dinner we had
some excellent fruit, which had been
kept frozen. Throughout Siberia, as
soon as very cold weather sets in, all
fruit is placed out of doors with north
ern exposure, that the sun may never
touch them. They arc frozen through
and through and retain their flavor as
completely as if they had just been
plucked from the tree. When placed
on the table they are as hard as wood,
and when they fall accidentally on the
fioor they made the same noise that q
wooden ball would do. The heat of the
dining-room gradually softens them and
they resume their original form. When
eating some game one day, l, out of GU
riosity, asked how long it had been kill
ed. [ was told: 'Over two months
ago. When cold weather sets in nearly
every butcher kills all the meat he re-
quires during the winter. Fish becomes
so solid that in all the markets they are
seen leaning against the wall on their
tails, no matter what their length Oh
weight may be-"

Something About Boys.

The worst thing q parent can do to a
boy is to pamper him. A boy can be
fed to death and nursed to death. He
can be killed by motherly kindness and
fatherly guardianship. Boys are only
young animals with minds or with
what wi one day be minds. The most
essential part of boy is his stomach.
The next important members Of his or
ganism are his legs. Good, strong,
sturdy legs, and a stomach able to digest
anything in the way of food, and any
amount of it, makes an equation for
boyhood. Do not, then, keep your boy
in the house, doting father, but give
him a bat, ball, sled, a pair of
skates, rifle, anything he needs for
outdoor amusement, and send him out
doors. Go with him yourself, if posi-
BILE. Skate with him, shoot with hin,
race with him, bea boy with him now, that
he may be a man with you by-and-bye.
How often we have seen birds scold and
push their fedglings out of the nest,
compelling them thus to rely on them
selves. How they will futter arouLd
with them and make an occasional shoot
into the upper air, to encourage the lit
tie things to try their wings, by showing
them how easily it can be done. Can
you not be as wise as they9 Shall
the dumb things beat you at the game
of parentage9 Keep your boy out of
doors, father Let him mingle with
other boys. 1t will do him good to be
buffeted and abused little by his play
mates. 1t will teach him to stand up
for his rights and give him confidence
in himself. It will make him cautious
and wary and self-reliant. A doll boy is
fraud on nature. A boy is like whip
lash-he is not worth cent if he hasn t
got the snap in him somewhere. What
is it that made you succeed in life 2 And
how was it developed in you9 You
weren't pampered much when boy,
eh? Well, be as wise to your son as
your father was to his. Give him 8
chance to be vigorous and plucky. Start
him right 81 write unto you, young
men, because you are strong" .."-Golde,

A Faithful Newspaper Carrier.

Says the New Haven (Conn. Regis
ter. Mr.. Norris Mix lives in the town
of Hamden, on the line of the Canal
railroad. His house is but few feet
distant from the track. Mr.. Mix is a
subscriber to the Register, and foryears
the baggage master on the evening train
outward bound has been in the habit of
throwing the paper from the car door as
the train moved past the house. Mr..
Mix keeps dog, one of those fine spot
ted, smooth haired coach dogs, and,
having long since come to the reason
able conclusion that to enjoy ones leis-
ure at home one should seek to take the
fewest steps possible, he has taught this
dog to watch the train, the baggage
master, and the paper as it is thrown
from the car. Selling the paper in his
teeth the dog brings it to his master who
sits by the comfortable fire waiting its
arrival. No matter where on the prem
ises the dog may be, when the sound of
the wheels or the whistle of that par
ticular train is heard, he takes his posi-
tion. What is equally wonderful the
dog never notices other than the mail
train. He needs no instructions, but
each day, as if omprehending the con
sequences of failure to get the paper,
like good dog, he watches and waits.
Once in great while the train goes by
and leaves no paper. Missing the paper
causes the dog to be greatly disturbed
and he waits impatiently during the
night, knowing the paper will surely
appear from the downward train in the
morning. When it arrives he seizes it
with the greatest delight, and carries it
to his master. The dogs age is six
years.

A Thoughtful Tailor.

A young man from one of the subur-
ban districts, say the Danbury Ne,vS,
was in one of our tailor shops getting
measured for vest the other after
noon.
"Married or single9" queried the
merchant after taking down the number.
Unmarried" said the young man,
with blush.
"Inside pocket on the left hand side,
then," observed the tailor, as if to him
self, making a memorandum to that
effect. After a moments pause the
young man from the country was
prompted to ask:
"What difference does my being
married or unmarried make with the
inside pocket of my vest 2"
"Ah, my dear sir" observed the
tailor, with bland smile, call the diff
ference possible, as you must see.
Being unmarried you want the pocket
on the lett side. so as to bring the
young lady's picture next to YOU
heart"
"But don't the married man also
want his wife's picture next to hi
heart ?" queried the anxious youth.
Possibly there is an instance of tina
kind" said the tailor, arching his eye
brows, "but never heard of it,"

The grim monster, death, was stealthily
approaching l could almost feel his hot,
fiery breath upon my forehead. My faithless

Of the book. The title was such novel one that
l was impelled to give the work casual
notice. AS hastily glanced over its pages, l
observed that 1t contained treatises not COM

many times been hoaxed by appearances, and
l determined that l would have nothing to do

Tn the Olden Time.

But what do the clergymen want In

flying little femino-clerical sentiment
from very young lady who was pursu-
ing her education under the direction
of her own well-beloved pastor: "RE.
oE1PT FOR A LADY's DRESS. Let your
earrings be attention, encircled by the
pearls of refinement; the diamonds OF
your necklace be truth, and the chain OF
Christianity; your bosompin be charity,
ornamented with pearls of gentleness
your fingerrings be affection, set round

your shoes be wisdom, secured by tho

Russian Peasantry.

A writer in a leading German quarter
ly says that the peasantry of Russia are
in worse condition than they were
when Alexander III. abolished serfdom
fourteen years ago. They do not live 80
well, and idleness, drunkenness, tramp
ing, bloodshed and arson have increased
to a frightful extent. The writer at
tributes this result to the bad manage
ment of the government. The peasant
is the slave of the commune, which con-
trolls his person and his property in such
way as to leave him no liberty. The
commune is more despotic than the
master used to be.

A Willow Hedge.

Willow does not makeso good hedge
fence as Usage orange, or those plants
which have thorns upon them. Willow
will, however, grow in climates too severe
for Usage orange, and will do well on
either dry or wet land. 1t is not often
cultivated for fence. By heading back
and Interviewing the branches, tolera-
BILE fence can be made, but it is inclined
to grow into trees, when the under
branches die and the trunks must be de-
pended upon to make the inclosure. On
this account the plants must be set close
ly together. 1t grows readily from the
cuttings, and rapidly.
