JUDGE gibson is one of the hardest
working judges in the State. He takes
very little recreation and his exercise is
limited to solitary walk. He confines
himself closely to his room and is con
stantly immersed in his law books. Such
industry will result in making him one of
the best jurists in the state.

THE report of the Board of Immigra-

following facts: The whole number OF
immigrants from Europe who arrived in
Wisconsin during the year 1881, is 56,
$40. The record of the nationality OF
these immigrants is kept only in Milwau-
kee and is as follows: Germans, 20, 033
Norwegians, 11,90S; Swedes, 6,937
Danes, 1888; English, 302; Irish, 451
Bohemians, 1886; Polanders, 1904
Holland, $50; French, 81; Scotch, %

who settled in Wisconsin is, "a, 1888
About one-half of these are Germans,
Norwegians stand second. Most of the
foreign advertising done by the board is
done in German papers. The expenses
of the board amount to $40, 451.1S.

rHn TWO DIN pACHELoRa

Two old bachelors were living in one house,
One caught muffin, the other caught mouse.
Said he who caught the muffin to him who caught
the mouse:
This happens just in time, Tor we've nothing in
the house,
Save tiny piece Of lemon, and teaspoonful Of
And what to do for dinner-sincs We haven't any
And what can we expect, II we haven't any din
But to lose our teeth and eyslashes and keep on
growing thinner?"
Bald the ono who caught the mouse to HIM who
caught the muffin:
"ws might cook the little mouse II we only had
Fone stufhn';
II We had but suge and onion we could do extremely
But how to get that stufn, it is difficult to tell"
These two old bachelors ran quickly to the town,
And asked for sage and onions as they wandered mp
They borrowed two large onions but no sage was to
be found,
In the shops or in the MARKET or In all the gardens
round.
But some one said A hill there is little to the
And 10 its perpendicular top narrow way leads
And there among the rugged rocks abides an ancient
cage,
An earnest man who reads all day most perplexing
Climb up aud seize him by the toes all studious
he sits,
And pull him down and chop him into endless littls
. bits
Then mix him with your onion, cut up likewise
When your stnhhsn' will be ready, and very good
perhaps"
Those two old bachelors, without any loss OF
time,
The nearly perpendicular crags at once began to
CHINO,
And at The top, among the rocks, all seated in
nook,
They saw that sage a-reading of most enormous
book.
"You earnest Sage" aloud they cried, "your book
you've read enough in,
We wish to chop you into bits to make you into
stufin'."
But that old Sage looked calmly up and with his
awful book
At these two bachelors bald heads sudden aim
he took;
And crag and precipice they rolled prcmis-
cuous down,
At once they rolled and never stopped, in lane or
field or town,
And when they reached their house they found (be-
side4 their want of stuffnO
The mouse had fed and previously had eaten up the
muffin.
They left their home Silence by the col.vvi-
al door,
And from that hour those bachelors were never

A Fair Average.

The Oil City Derrick has heard 80
many stories about narrow escapes,
thrilling incidents and strange coinci-
dences during the late war, that it begins
to think the whole number of truthful
anecdotes of this kind must be pretty
near exhausted. Itwould certainly seem
as though they had all been told, and.
what are now being related are for news
paper purposes; but we don't know.
There were a good many instances in tho
late war where somebody came very near
having a narrow escape, but missed, and
he is now fertilizing Southern soil. There
were also lots Of what would have been
strange condolences, but they did NOT
quite make the carom; ard there we're
thrilling incidents that nobody knows.
anything about, for sufficient rea-
sons. No; we guess it is hardly time yet
to stop relating new anecdotes of the
late war. Those that are now being re-
lated may be bald faced fabrications,
and We presume many of them are; but
they will serve to supply the place Of in
cidents that occurred. of which no one
was left to tell the tale. and upon the
whole there win be a fair average. ID r.

study That Fatfgues a Child.


I j fear many children are sent to school
merely to keep them out of mischief,
and to accomplish this purpose they may
probably begin very early indeed. But
nothing can well be more unfair and IN
judicious than to subject child to irk.
some confinement and premature study
for the sake OF convenience or to supple.
ment defective methods of home train.
ing. Tt is clear also that no fixed age
can be adopted as the proper one fo1
sending all children to school. There
are people who with rash consistency
light fires in their houses on the LIST d
November and put by their oyercoats on
the 18th of April, though Vennor OF
some reliable prophet should foretell q
glowing Indian summer or succession
of Arctic waves late into May. So, too,
there are many parents who seem to put
their children to school when the prede.
termined birthday comes, without the
least consideration of the mental and
physical development of the subject OF
their experiment. The plain truth is
that each child should begin school
when he is fit for sehool-that is, when
he is physically strong enough to bear
the confnements and the mental effort.
Few appreciate the strain that even two
or three hours attendance daily, and the
effort to master two or three simple little
lessons, exert on the sensitive organize
ton of young children. Their brain
and nerves are exquisitely delicate, and
it is period Of such rapid growth that
the power of nutrition is taxed in sup
plying material for the formation Of per-
feet tissue. The thousand objects that
daily attract the keen observation of the
child, the new words and phrases, the
nursury rhymes and tales and games,
afford stimulus enough to quicken the
development of the mental faculties
Abundant outdoor exercise, leisurely
meal times and long hours of unbroken
sleep are absolutely necessary to promote
appetite, digestion and nutrition. Many
cases of indigestion, of nervousness, Of
general weakness, even to apparent
backwardness of intellect, are due to in
sufficient outdoor exercise and pre-
mature study. Children vary greatly
as to the age at which they can begin to
bear restraint on the freedom of their
movements and strain upon their atten-
ton and memory Mil may have begun
Greek at four, but Hunter did not know
his alphabet at seven. The one thing
certain is that any study or any attend
ance at school before the child can
bear it without effort or fatigue is not
only useless but hurtful, and win surely
retard the education and lessen the
future yigor and capacity of mind. DIR.

Elder Boyd assented, and he meant

began to think that the widow was very

fore her one evening. The widow blushed,
protesting to be. greatly surprised, In

thing in her life, but, on the whole, she

and, to cut the matter short, she ac-
cepted him. q meath afterward she
