Things l Hate.
[By JAMES LAYERS.

hate to see the world go wrong
mean the people in it
/ wish they would sit down and think,
Ifpnly for o minute.
And try to act like honest men
And faithful loving women;
Oh. what II blessing it would be
To all in our dominion.
| bate to see a ehurchman,
With face so long and grave,
With tears a rolling down his cheek
Pray Col my soul to save.
III ask him for q dollar
70 buy my babes some bread.
He'll very 0 dry up his tears,
And shake his sanity head.
| hate TO see a man that looks
With longing eyes the while
Up in the boss's face in hopes
From him to draw a smile;
And If perchance the boss should laugh,
And that way turn his eye,
This miserable, crawling thing
With joy would nearly die.
hate 10 see a checkweighman,
Tlat is paid two dollars per day
BY Lis humble fellow workmen,
Turning from them away,
And weighing for the operator,
At the very same machine,
For a dollar and fifty cents a day,
Does he think the men are green?
/ hate TO look upon a man
Taking himself a wife,
And bringing her to his mothers house,
To make her sad for life.
Saving, "My darling, you must do
All that my mother may say,
Because you took a SOLEMN VOW
Your husband to Obey"
What shall we do with all such men?
IT'S enough to make one swear;
Eut it takes all sorts to make a world;
Then let us all beware.

The Lost Colonies Of Greenland.

Nordenskjold has projected an ex-
pedition to sail from Sweden in search
of the lost east colonies of Greenland.
1t is not hoped to find the cOlonists, of
whom nothing has been heard since
the Middle Ages, but the professor has
theory which it will be int resting to
follow out. at the time Europe was
principally engaged in sending armies
of crusaders to the Holy Land the
Norwegians had hourishing colonies
on the coast of Greenland, which were
reported to include more than one
hundred towns. During the plague
of the fourteenth century Norway was
SO badly ravagt d. that her maritime
interests were almost ruined, and all
connection with the Greenland colo
MES was lost. These colonies hadj
always dep nded on traffic with the
mother country for general supplies,
and, deprived of this support, no
doubt, all the colonists persisted long
ago. So compl tely were they forgot
ten that it is net to-day known what
part of the continent they inhabited.
Hitherto it has been generally sup
posed that they occupied strip of
country on the west coast, but Nor
denskjold is firmly persuaded that their
location was on the east coast, near
Cape Farewell. He also hopes to
penetrate from that rocky and ice
bound shore far enough inland to dis
cover the legendary oasis which are
tabled to exist, and traces of which a
German expedition claims to have dis
cOvprad

A Curious Animal.

A recent issue of the MarySville
(Cal) Appeal says: Tom Clyma. of
North Butte, captured by means of
steel trap, few days ago, AN animal
supposed to be a marten. In some re-
spects the animal resembles a fox and
is quite curiosity. The most singular
thing about the quadruped, if report be-
true. is tlat the legs on one side of its
body are several inches shur.er than
those on the other sid. Shout such
prove to lie the case the CT ure Is
undoubtedly a gyascutus, an animal
always exceedil gly rare, and which has
long been thought extinct. 1t is never

liar one-sidel development the gyascu-
lu, rs, however, adapted for living on

ease on the side of st ep slo e, where
even a goat would have pr carious
foothold. The animals strange struct-
ure, unfortunately, is in one respect a
great disadvantage. While it can
travel around hill from right to left

The Bad Boy Again.


"IIal hal Now l have got you,'
said the grocery man to the bad boy
the other morning as he came in and
jumped upon the counter and tied
the end cf ball of twin, to the
tail of a dog, and "sicked' the dog
on another dog that was following,
causing the Irvine to pay out until
the whole ball was scattered along
the block. condemn you, I've a
notion to choke the liver out of
you! WHO tied that Irvine to the dogs
tail?"
The boy choke1 up with emotion
and the tears came into his eyes, and
he said he didn't kI ow anything about
the Irvine or the dog. He said he
noticed the dog come in and wag his
tail around the Irvine, but he supposed
the dog was a friend of the family,
and did not disturb him. Everybody
lays everything that is done to me-"
said the boy, as he put his handker-
chief to his nose, "and they will be
sorry for it when | die. have good
notion to poison myself by eating some
of your glucose sugar"
"Yes; and you do about everything
that is mean. The other day lady
came in and told me to send up to her
house some of my country sausage,
done up in muslin bags, and while
she was examining it she noticed
something hard inside the bags, and
asked me what it was. and opened it,
and l hope to die if there wasn't a
little brass paddock and piece of red
morocco dog collar imbed'ied in the
sausage. Now, how do you suppose
that got in there?" and the grocery
man looked savage.
The boy looked interested, and put
on an expression as though in deep
thought, and finally said: 81 suppose
the farmer thai put up the sausage did
not strain the dog meat. Sausage
meat ought to be strained"
The grocery man pulled in about
half a block of Irvine, after the dog
had run against afence and broke it,
and told the boy he knew perfectly
well how the brass paddock came to he
in the sausage, but thinking it was
safer to have the goodwill of the boy
than the ill-will, he offered him a
handful of prunes.
NO" says the boy" / have sworn
off, on moldy prunes. am no kind
ergarten any more. For years have
eaten rotten peaches around this store,
and everything you couldn't sell, but
have turned over new leaf now,
and after this nothing is too good for

The Lesson of the Floods.

The floods n the Ohio which did such
dam ,g, to the va ley and de troyed
so lnu h prop Ity at Gin innati and
Louisville, emphasize the fact more
than vnce adverttd 60 in these CO umns,
THAT the nItl n snould not only put
s 5op to the waste of fore SITS, but sh ,uld
take immediate measures t. leJIant
with RES the ground bordering on the
head wa ers OIL all our; reat streams.
The spring foods and the summer
droughts are, it is now well Known,
almost ent rely due to the destruction
,of the for, SITS on the bord rs of streams
land in the hill countries in which our
famous rivers take their rise Every
year we now have disastrous foods
either on tn. sea coast or the Ohio and
mississippi valleys. The individual
states affected cannot attend 10
this matter. 1t must be done
iby the nation or not at all.
Not only property but life is often
destroyed by these floods. Hal the
Ohio risen few feet higher both Gin
cinnati and Louisville would have been
practically stroyed. The ancient
Egyptians built gigantic works to pre-
went disastrous inundstions from the
rising Of the Nile. Artificial lakes and
reservoirs were constructed so that the
wa er could be drawn off and the land
saved from destruction by the rising
floods. 1t would be economy to spend
$l00,000,000 in improving our internal
waterways, but C, ngressmen are timid
about Apr Ipriating money in view of
the o lium heaped upon them by the
press in connection with the last river
and harbor bill. We have not only
the largest seacoast in the world, but
our Internal waterways are the most
extensive on the g ODE. In spi' e of the
c'amor Of the press, the nation will b
fore ed to build tie necessary levees and
provide the lams and reservoirs which
will revent excessive flooding, until
such tine as the newly planted forests
shall be grown which will put stopto
both floods and drouglts.-DemoreSt.

When Armie, Fought Hand to Hand.

In the days of hand-tO-hand light
ing, when missile weapons were EN-
plOyed by conn aratively sma por-
ton of the combatants, the vanquished
were generally almost annihila ed and
the victors suffered enormously. At
Gamma 10000 Romans out of $4,000
were killed. At Hastings the Nor
mans, though the victors, lost 10000
out of $4,000, and at Crecy 10000
Frenchmen out of 100000 were. 1t is
asserted, killed, without reckoning the
wounded. When the fiint-lock reigned
the average of the proportion of the
killed and wounGe1 in t. a battles, be-
ginning with Zorndorf in 1853 and
ending with Waterloo, was from one
fourth to one-ffth of the troops present
on both sides. The heavi st loss was
at ZorndOrf, where 81 916 men out of
$1,000 were killed or wounded. 1t
was also very heavy at Eylau, being
$4,000 casualties out of 10000 men.
In the campaign in Italy in 1859 rifles
were used on both sides, and we find
that the proportion of casualties to
combatants was at Magenta and Sol
ferino one eleventh. In the Franco
Prussian war of 1901, when both
sides were armed with breech-loading
rifles, the average proportion of killed
and wounded at Worth, Spicheren,
Mars-le.Tour, GravelOtte and Sedan
was one-ninth, the heaviest loss being
at Mars-le-Tour, where it was one
aixth and the amaIlpst M 2adan xvhara
1t was welfth.-Atheneum.
