Twas Saturday night, and the teacher sst
Alone her task pursuing;
She averaged this and she averaged that,
OF sil her class was doing.
She -eckoned percentage so many boys,
And 80 many girls all counted,
And marked all the tardy and sbsentees,
And to what all the absence amounted.
Names and residences wrote in full,
Over many columns and pages;
Canadian, feutonic, African, Ce1t,
And averaged all their ages,
The date OF admission of eveiy one,
And cases Of fagellation:
And prepared a list cf graduates
For the county examination.
Her weary head sank low on her book,
Ard her weary heart still lower;
For some of herpupils had little brain,
And she could not furnish more.
She slept, she dreamed II seemed she died,
And her spirit went to Hades;
And they met her there with question fair,

Leaving but partial traces,

As high as the Stste-house dome, and as wide

The Human Race.

A statistician in England, in studying
a generation of million of people from
birth to death, finds that one-fourth of
them die before they reach five years !;
less than one-twenty eighth between FIVE
and ten years; in the next five years
the morality is lower than at any Pc
Rod; in the next five years an increase,
especially among women-the influence
of dangerous occupations begins to be
seen in the death-rate. Eight times as
many men as women die violent deaths
This is perceptible for twenty years.
Consumption is prevalent, and accounts
for one-half of the deaths from twenty
to forty-fve. From thirty.fve to forty
five the effect of the wear and tear of the
system are seen. At forty-fve the mill
ion is lessened to four hundred and

About one-sixth of the million is left at

Why are fat people always complaining ?
asks some one who entertains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is
synonymous with fat. Fat people complain
because they are diseased. Obesity is an
abnormal condition of the system, in which
the saccharine and oleaginous elements of
the food are assimilated to the partial exclu-
sion of the muscle-forming and brain-pro-
ducing elements. Inproof of this, il is only
necessary to assert the well-known fact that
excessively fat people are never strong, and
seldom distinguished for mental powers or
activity. Besides, they are the easy prey OF
acute and epidemic diseases, and they are
the frequent victims of govt, heart disease,
and spoplexy. Al ans Anti-Fat is the only
known remedy for this disease. 1t contains
no acid, is absolutely harmless, and is war.

obesity, or corpulency.

ONE of the American millionaires who
are doing the Paris Exhibition wanted
some champagne with his dinner, but,
being unable to speak French, had to
make signs to indicate his wishes. Call
ing a waiter, he put his hands between
his knees and then made fierce facial
expression, accompanied by a hand
movement as though he were pulling a
cork, concluding with fizz, fzzw The
waiter nodded that he understood, went
away, and returned shortly with a small
gun. The gentleman made vigorous
use of Anglo Saxon words.

PEACE PRELIM1NARIEs
Proposed Conditions.


London, Jan. 25.-The Daily Tele-
graph prints the following from Con-
stantinople: The Turkish delegates
have been ordered to sign the peace pre-
liminaries. The armistice will proba-
bly, be concluded to-day. The conditions
are stated to include the following:
Servia to be independent without
compensation.
Montenegro to receive Antivari, Mic
sizes and Spuz and portion of Turkey
bordering ON lake Scutari.
Russia to hold Batoum, Kars and
Erzeroum until the war indemnity OF
e20, 900, 900 is paid.
The Dardanelles to be opened to Rus.
sian men-of-war.
The autonomy of Bulgaria to be con.
ceded, and Turkey to nominate Chris.
tian governor for long term of years,
subject to ratification by the powers.
1t is understood that the Bulgarian
frontier will now extend to the Balkan
mountains.
Part of the Russian army will em'
bark at Constantinople for their return
home and the final treaty of peace will
be signed at Constantinople by Grand
Duke Nicholas. This arrangement will
satisfy Russian military honor without
involving the occupation of Constanti
nople.

England on the Eve OF War.
London, Jan. 25.-The Times this
morning says: Another panic possesses
London over the Eastern situation.
There is a greater ferment tonight than
at any time since the Russians crossed
the Danube. Those who wish war are
iubilant; those who oppose it are de.
moraliZed. Various explanations are
given of Sir Stafford Northcote's mo-
tion relative to a supply of money for
naval and military purposes. The one
generally credited is the unexpected oc-
currence alluded to in the Queens
speech, showing the necessity of active
interference. What shape this will
take is not known, but the old rumor
relative to the occupation of Gallipoli,
is again current, and finds believers,
owing to the general alarm everywhere.
There are signs of war both in the
character of the preparations and in
the air. The most ominous sign is that
bankers and other commercial men,
who have hitherto been hopeful that
there would be no war, are, tonight,
greatly respondent and demoralized
over the situation. They hope for the
best, but fear the worst.

Arrest of a Mail Box Robber.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-For two months
United States detectives have been
shadowing man named Carl Namuth,
suspected of being engaged in taking
letters from the mail boxes in various
parts of the city, and to-day they eff
fected his capture, together with over
two thousand letters which he had
taken from boxes, opened and riled of
valuable contents. His stealings,
which have extended over a period of
some ten months, must have been very
considerable. He is a German, highly
educated, fine looking, and has only
been here year and half He is now
in charge of the United States marshal
at haywood, a suburb.

sherman on Smith.

Washington, Jan. Pa letter OF
Gen. Sherman, addressed to Hon. John
E. Smith, ex-Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, having been quoted as discred-
iting certain features of the report of
the beard of inquiry on Indian matters,
the Secretary of the Interior addressed
to Gen. Sherman letter and received
from him a reply. Secretary Schurz
courteously asks if any discredit was
intended regarding the accuracy of the
late report and agrees with Gen. Sher-
man as to Smiths personal integrity.
Gen. Sherman, in reply, disclaims
any intention of impeaching the cor
rectness of the boards report. He had
never seen the report, nor did he know
who composed the board. He says that
in his letter he meant by the word
efficiency" the administration of the
Indian office in way which assisted
the military authorities to subdue and
bring within the province of the Gov
ernment the Sioux, Kiowas, etc., and
they being in accord with the War De-
partment, and not arrayed against it,
as has been the custom in previous
years. He (Sherman) knew nothing of
the internal workings of his office in
Washington, and had no means of
forming an opinion about 1t, but
Smiths great ability in regard to Indi-
an troubles entitled him to favorable
opinion with which to counteract what
he (Sherman) had supposed to be vague
newspaper rumors.

Our dispatches indicate that the sit
uation in England is now warlike in
the extreme. The withdrawal of Earls
Carnarvon and Derby from the Cabinet
shows how serious the division must
have been when it compelled the lead
ers of the peace party to resign. Dis
raeli is now master of the situation,
and no one knows how far his schemes
may extend. His duplicity is shown
in the fact that only a week ago he an
nounced that perfect unanimity exist
ed in the Cabinet. Despite the gravity
of the situation there is possibility
that war is not intended, but only a
menace to force Russia to come at once
to terms and stop her advance on Gal
lipoli and Constantinople.

THE House Pacific Railroad commit
tee, yesterday, heard arguments on the
Texas Pacific Railroad bill. Mr.. Storrs,
for the Southern Pacific railroad, con-
tended that the Texas company had
not completed its railroad as the law
required, and it was now competent to
adopt measures to secure its speedy
completion. This could be more effec-
tually done by granting authority to
the Southern Pacific company to con-
tinue on east to the Rio Grande at El-
Paso and transfer 80 much of the for
mer land grant as it should earn by so
building. He also claimed that the
Texas company had no right to build a
railroad across California, not having
authority from that State. He also
contended that the Southern Pacific
mad a right to construct bridge across
the Colorado river and the Texas Pa
eific had not.

Extensive Jewelry Robbery.

Baltimore, Jan. 25.-One of the most
mysterious and successful burglaries
ever perpetrated in this country occur
red early Sunday morning at the jewel
ry establishment of S. Rodberg, No.
100 Baltimore street. The robbery was
not discovered until half-past 0 O'Clock,
when young Rodberg entered the store
and found the safe door torn off and
the safe rifed of all its articles of value
1t was at first thought that the val
uables taken were worth some $50, 900,
but careful inventory estimates the
loss at from S15, 200 to $4,000. The
booty included 100 gold watches, 60
silver, 1900 rings, IA in diamond
settlngs), together with chains, lockets,
pins and other jewelry. The thieves
did not take any of the silverware with
which the showcases were filled, con-
fining themselves to the most portable
articles of value. Entrance was eff
fected through the rear of the adjoining
building, corner of st. Paul street. The
thieves forced several doors and finally
reached the room in the rear of Rod
berg's store. They then made an open
ing through nine inch brick wall
about two by four feet and entered
one at time. Burglars tools were
used in cutting through the wall and
also in forcing the safe, the hinges of
which were first pried off and the inner
plates afterward crushed and broken.

heretofore untrammeled press of the
United States to an official supervision,
which is the first step to censorship.
The association voted its approval OF

passage.

THERE is no city in the world that can

proportion to the population as San
Francisco. There are over forty men
there whose fortunes exceed $4,000, 900
each. None of these fortunes were
inherited, but were acquired by bust
ness and speculations, and all within a
period Of twenty-five years. None of
the millionaires have passed the prime
of life, and they are all just as eager in
their pursuit of riches as those who en-
joy no reputation for opulence. The

Importsn. to the Wealthy.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The Secretary
