HOW HIS TROUSERS GOT
SHORTENED.

A certain gentleman purchased
pair of pants few days ago, which,
upon being tried on at home, be
found to be too long. That night
he remarked to his wife that he
wished her to take off about an inch
from each leg, which would male
them the desired length. Beng
fond of teasing her husband, she
old him that she shouldn't do anv-
hing of the kind, and he retired
without having obtained promise
from her that she would attend to
the matter.
Soon after he had left for his
room, however, she, as a matter of
course. clipped off the superhuous
inch, as she had been asked to do.
The family is composed of six fo-
male members, and each one of the
five, who were in adjoining rooms,
heard the dispute between man and
wife, and after the latter had taken
off the required inch and retired.
not knowing what their sister-in-
law had done, cautiously slipped
into the room and cut off another
inch.
In this way did each of the five
ladies, unknown to the other, and
all with the praiseworthy object of
preventing any misunderstanding
between the couple, clip an inch
from the legs of the gentlemans
trowsers.
The following morning, all uu-
conscious of what had taken place
during the night, he wrapped up his
pants in piece of paper, and took
them to his tailor, to be shortened
the desired length. Upon hasty
glance the latter ventured the opin-
ion that they were already short;
but the owner insisted that they
were fully an inch too long. The
tailor had no more to say, and our
friend retired.
On the following Saturday be
called for the pants and took them
home, and what supremely disgust
ed him was to find that the legs
reached only trife below the knee.
He strais shtway accused the tailor,
but his wife heard him and can to
the rescue, explaining that she had
taken an inch from each of the legs,
and her acknowledgment was iol-
lowed by each of the other five la-
dies, when it was discovered that
altogether the legs had been short
ened the length of about seven
inches.

Tree Planting.

In the last News ! noticed an article
by the president of the horticultural so
ciety, giving us some advice in regard to
planting shade and ornamental trees.
But thinking that he stopped little too
Z soon would like to add a few of nv
own ideas on the subject.
In the first place, l would not entirely
exclude the soft maple, but would put it,
silver maple, the gray and golden willow,
IN low wet places, where l think they
will give satisfactory results. The cot.
tonwocd should also be on moist land.
One mistake We often make in setting
trees, is trying to make them grow in a
soil for which nature never intended
In dry locations the Morello cherry, with
Its brown bark, snowy flowers and red
fruit, makes a tree which is both useful
and ornamental. For street plantintinr

RULES FOR LADIES TRAVELLING
hInNE


From time to time we read of mishaps
meeting women travelling alone, till il
sometimes seems as lift were utterly un-
safe for woman to travel alone. Still
women must travel, and pretty often
alone, and by the exercise of due caution
and foresight there is no reason why it
should not be perfectly safe for them to
do so. There are few rules which, if
followed, it seems would save world of
anxiety and trouble.
1. Before starting ON a journey, ia
miliarize yourself with tile route and
with names of good hotels at the various
stopping places.
8. Never travel with Just enough mon
ey, but always carry enough to provide
for any possible emergency. This will
save much anxiety.
2. Wear but little jewelry, and keep
the largest part OF your money in some
insede pocket, out of sight.
4. Always look after yourself, and do
not allow stranger to procure your
tickets or checks for your baggage.
5. Avoid, if possible, making changes
in cars by night; but when unavoidable.
go with others. Do not become separated
from the crowd
6. Take no hacks, but go in an omni-
bus where there are other people These
are perfectly safe.
Z. If in any doubt as to changing
cars, checking baggage, ETC., inquire in
advance of the conductor. The conduc-
tors on our trains are always polite and
willing to be of service, especially to
women travelling alone
8. Do not wait till about to make
some change in train before inquirIng of
the conductor, for, ten to one, he will
then be hurried, and you will only half
inform yourself.
Under all circumstances endeayor to
retain your presence of mind One who
can do this will have no trouble in frav-
cling, and, instead of its being unwise
for women to travel alone, think il an
advantage for them to make trips alone,
for there are few people who are not at
times Obliged TO do so, and experience
does away with much of the possible
danger in travelling.

How A MAN LOCKS THE Doors

There is something curious about the
way man closes up the house for the
night. A woman will secure all the
doors in the house in ten minutes, and
spend twenty minutes in taking down
her back hair and getting her friZzes
ready for morning. The man of the
house having no back hair to take down
and no friZzes to put up, spends his time
in closing up the house. He begins at
the back door and bolts all the doors
from that to the front door. Then he
takes off his coat and collar. By that
time one of the children wants a drink
of water, and he has to unlock one of the
doors to get it. Then he locks the door
carefully, goes back and takes off his
vest and winds up his watch or clock, as
the case may be. His wife suddenly
calls out from among the bed-clOthes-
1t being the winter season-and asks her
liege lord to make another expedition to
the kitchen and see if the pancake batter
is liable to rise in its might and over
flow the dish. He unlOcks two more
doors and makes tour of inspection.
All is well. He removes his stockings,
warns his feet, and proceeds to retire
Suddenly he is overcome with the
locked, and away he goes, barefooted,
over the cold floor of the kitchen and
woOdshed. By the time he reaches the
wOodshed door he is uncertain whether
any of the doors are locked, and he
makes the grand rounds again. All is
secure. He removes pantalOons, blows
out the light, and is just about to lie
down, when his wife suddenly bethinks
herself that the girl probably forgot to
put the milk-pail out, and away he goes
again in huff and white flowing gar
ment. Before he gets back to bed again
he steps on two marbles and a sharp
piece of tin which the children have left
on the floor. At last he gets between
the sheets and lays him down to pleas
ant or horrible dreams-he is never sure
which it will be. As Morpheus gobbles
him up and is about to take him to the
land of Nod, the brilliant thought that
the hired girl is out flashes athwart his
brain, and he gets up and unlocks the
kitchen door. In exactly one hour and
eleven minutes from the time he begins
preparations to retire, he is in bed for
good, and one of the doors is still un-
locked. He says softly, but solmnIy TO
himself that he'll be blowed if he'll un-
dertake to lock the doors again, if rob
bers surround the house four deep. But
the next night he repeats the perform
ances, by special request-ROme Sen

A. T. s. s. F. depot is also post office.
They rush there with letters to mail by
the dozen. 1t is no part of the duty of
those engaged at the depot to mail let
tiers. At train time they are all busy as
bees, and cannot bother with mailing
letters. They must be taken to the post
Office or the train, hereafter. The mail
at the post Office does not close until 10 :
IS, and that gives to everybody plenty
of time to get their mail matter ready
and mail it at the Office which is the
proper place. There is no excuse at all
for scattering letters over town at half
. dozen places to be mailed. There are
mistakes occurring almost every day
through the inexcusable carelessness OF
the public in giving their letters to half
dozen different parties to be mailed.
They are frequently carried in coat
pockets for week, and are finally de
posted in the post office, wrinkled and
dirty. The agents at the depot cannot
attend to this duty, and letters deposited
there hereafter must be at the risk of
those depositing them. Either put them

The WEALTH OF THE UNITED
STATES.

O1ALEDs
Notwithstanding the fact that the val
uatiOn of property of almost every de-
scription has been reduced by the recent
monetary crisis and general stagnation
of trade, il is believed that the census of
1880 will show that the United States is
the richest country in the world. In
1870 the valuation of all our real and
personal property was over $4,000, O00,-
600, an increase of $14, 000,000 900 as
compared with the census returns of
1860. Up to 1875 the growth of our
wealth was very considerable and the
losses of the war were, in Il great degree.
made up. Since that time we have made
but little, and we have lost heavily in
our Industries, yet the census will prob
ably show that the total value of all
property, real and personal, in the United
States, will be nearly $4,000, OOO. 600
against $40, 900 100000 for Great Britain
and $46, 900, 100000 for France, the two
other countries with which we might
raise comparison. At this time, while
our country is far richer than either
Great Britain or France, we cannot
avoid observing that these two countries
have reached the maximum of wealth.
and the United States has but Just begun
to grow in reality. A vast portion of
our most valuable area has been popu-
lated, but only partially developed, while
millions offertile acres ofland and scores
of valuable mines have never yet been
put to the test of productiveness. No
limit can really be set to our increase of
wealth in real estate as yet, and as the
prOvider of the surplus food product of
the world, our riches in money and in
personal property must go on augment
ing very rapidly for the rest of the cen
tury, at least, and should our industries
be fully revived no estimate could be
reasonably given of our total wealth.

HEAVY TURKEYs.-The weight of first
class turkeys exhibited for competition
at the principal shows in England, has
greatly increased of late years. Thus at
the Birmingham poultry show, held in
1865, the weight of the first-prize pair OF
old birds was Al pounds; those which
received the second prize weighed 46
pounds; and those taking the third prize
40 pounds. OF the young turkeys, the
frstprize pair weighed 40 pounds, the
second SO and the third 3515 pounds
ALI these birds were of the Cambridge
variety. AT the show in 1871, at the
same place, when the sexes were divided,
the first-prlze old cock weighed over 40
pounds, the first prize young cock %
pounds, the first-prize pair of old hens
80 pounds and the first-prize pair OF
young hens % pounds.

EDUCATIONAL.

President Wiley, of Emory and Henry
College, Va, is trying to raise an endOw-
ment fund of 100000 for that college.
The bill appropriating $250,OOO for a
fire-prOOf library building to adjOin the
Smithsonian institution has passed the
Senate.
Nearly 95 out of every 100 of the 1885,
407 children of Connecticut, between
four and sixteen years of age, attended
school last year.
The colored schools of Washington are
said to be the best schools of the sort in
the country. They are taught almost
exclusively by colOred teachers.
The Illinois naturalists organized a
State Natural History Society, at Chica-
go. Prof A. II. WOrthen, curator of the
state museum, at Springfield, was elect
ed president; Prof. S. A. Forbes, director
OF the state libratOry, Normal, secretary.
The National Journal of Education
prints letters from Prof. Andrew p Pea
body, DID,, of Harvard College; William
Lloyd Garrison, and John q. Whittier,
disappearing military drill in schools as
tending to the cheapening of human life
and the reckless use of deadly weapons.
Prof Alpheus s. Packard, of Bowdoin
College, has completed his eighthieth
year. He has been connected with the
college more than so years, is still very
active, conducts the chapel exercises, has
the care of the library, hears daily reci-
tatiOns and often breaches on the Sal
bath.
School Superintendent Shannon, of
Missouri, says in his official report that
the law requiring the maintenance of
schools for the colored children has been
repeatedly evaded and violated during
the past two years, in spite of instruc-
tiOns from him, the opinions of the at
torney general and the-decisions of the
supreme court of the state. The white
violators of the law, he says, take wick
ed and malicious advantage of the weak
ness and ignorance of the negroes, and
sometimes use for their own advantage
the money drawn from the colored peo-
pie by taxation and appropriated to their
benefit bV the law

1t appears that the suggestion at least
of the much-discussed phrase, "Of the
people, by the people, for the people, -
belongs to Mr.. Webster, who lin his
speech in the Senate, the second on
Foote'S resolution, was exposing the alb
surdity of Colonel Haynes idea, that the
general government was ''the servant of
four-and-twenty masters, of different wills
and purposes, and yet bound to obey
them ALL" This absurdity, Mr. Webster
said, arose from mIscOnception as to
the origin of this government and its
true character; and he then added: at
is, sir, the peoples constitution, the peo-
pies government, made for the people,
made by the people, and answerable to
the people" The original use of the
phrase which We have first quoted has
been ascribed to President Lincoln and
to Theodore Parker We agree with
the Newark DAILY Advertiser, which
calls attention to Mr.. Webster's words,
that in putting their substance into diff
terent, though slightly different form,
both Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Parker were
guided by an unconscious memory
