Johnson's Island, three miles from Sandus-
ky, in Lake Erie, was the principal military
prison for rebel officers during the war. The
old forts and graveyard are fallen into decay,
but there still remain the ruins of two block
houses and two or three wooden structures
ouce used as quarters. The old earthworks
may still be traced, and the spaces noted that
once were occupied by magazines or frowning
cannon. In the burial place set apart for the
prisoners lie entombed nearly 300 Confederate
dead. The graves are neglected, the head
boards fallen or gone, and the lettering upon
those remaining almost obliterated. Two
graves are marked by marble headstones but
from one of them the iron chains and posts
that once surrounded it have been taken away.
Grass and weeds overspread the spot, the
fences are broken down, and a growth of,
shrubbery and young trees cover thickly the
last resting place of the captiVes. A move
ment is now on foot to put the ground in pre-
sentable condition, aud perhaps, on the day
sacred to the Union dead, to scatter few
blossoms in memory of the il,starred south
erners whose bones lie mouldering under the
tangled grasses.

DoNT BE AFRAID OF WoRK.-Don't be
afraid of killing yourself with overwork, son,
is the fscetous way the Burlington Hawkeye
has of counseling young men to thrift Men
seldom work so hard as that on the sunny
side of thirty. They die sometimes but it is
because they quit work at P NJ. and don't get
home until 2 AM. It's the intervals that
kill son. The work gives you an appetite
for your meals; it lends solidity to your slum.
beri it gives you perfect and grateful appre-
citation of holiday. There are young men
who do not work, my sou-young men who
make living by sucking the end of cane,
and who can tie necktie in eleven different
knots, and never lay wrinkle in it who can
spend more money in a day than you can
earn in a month, son and who will go to the
sheriffs to buy postal card, and apply at
the Office of the street commissioners for
marriage license. So find out what you want
to be and to do, son, and take of your coat
and make success in the world. The buster
you are, the less evil you will be apt to get
into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the
brighter and happier your holiday, and the
better satisfied will the world be with you.

Some time ago a society was formed in New
York called the Business Mems Moderation
Society" Its special object was to discour-
age the perncious custom of treating. And
now from Cincinnati comes the story that the
Germans of that city have formed an organi-
zation known as the "Teutonc Anti-1reating
Society" to perpetuate in America the Gus
tom of the Fatherland. These are steps in
the right direction. It is universally conced
ed that the practice of reciprocal drinking
exerts a most potent influence in creating in
temperate habits. Comparatively few men
go into a tavern alone and drink themselves
into a state of intoxication. II is the spirit
of conyiyiality and jolly companionship that
leads to excess. When anti-treating societies
become more general, there will be proper
tionate tendency 10 new forms Of sooiability,
which will tend toward temperance.

~ A"N
Death camc TO the earth by his side was Spring;
They came from Gods own bowers,
Aud the earth was full Of their wandering,
For they both were sowing flowers.
"I SOW, - said Spring, ''by the stream and wood
And the village children know
The gay, glad time Of my own sweet prime,
And where my blossoms grow.
"There is not a spot in the quiet wood
But hath heard the sound Of my feet,
And the viOlets come from their solitude
When my tears have made them sweet"
81 SOW, said Death, "whero the hamlet stands,
SOW in the Churchyard drear;
l drop IN the grave with gentle hands
My flowers from year to year.
"The young and the old go unto their rest
To the sleep that awaits them below;
But clasp the children unto my breast
And kiss them before co.
"a SOW, said Spring, "but my flowers decay
When the year turns weak and old,
When the breath " the bleak wind wears them was
And they wither and droop In the mold.
"But they come again when the young earth feels
The new blood leap in her veins,
When the fountain Of wonderful life unseals,
And the earth is alive with the rains"
~ SOW, said Death, "but my flowers unseen
Pass away from the land Of men,
Nor sighs nor tears through the long sad years
Ever bring back their bloom again.
"But know they are wondrous bright and fair
In the fields Of their high abode;
Your flowers are flowers that a child may wear,
But mine are the blossoms Of God
Death came to earth by his side was Spring;
The two came from Gods own bowers;
one sowed In night and the other In light,
Yet they beth were sowing flowers.

Americans have heard much of the great
landed proprietors of England. In general
way they understand that the land is massed
in the hands of a titled and hereditary aris-
tocracy This fact, when reduced to figures,
will startle the average reader, however fam
iliar to his mind may have become the abstract
idea of vast propretorship of land in foreign
countries. A writer in the New York OBJ
server has prepared table from an analysis
of land-holders in the Financial Almanac"
which shows how tue soil of "merrie Eng
land is distributed among the privileged few
of the island kingdom. In a list of A land
ed proprietors tue smallest estate is that of
the Earl of Cawdor-l0l 600 acres. Thirty
five have an acreage varying in amount from
the above to that of the Duke of Athole-
1914, 600 acres. The Earl of Fife has PSI, 600
acres Alex. Matheson, 220, 900; the Duke
of Richmond, 2S6, ,0O0 the Earl of Seaheld,
3O5, 600 the Marquis of Bredalbane, 43S, 900;
the Duke of Buokleugh, 450, 900; Lord Mid.
dleton, l, ,005. 600; the Duke of Sutherland,
1,20S, 900. II is also stated that 223S indiyid-
uals, out of population of 5000 600, mon
opolize 40, 600 600 out OF the Y, 900, 600 acres
which comprise the territory of the two islands
the A persons, the extent of whose indi-
vidual proprietorship is indicated by the fig
ures given above, owning oneeighth of the
entire territory. In the House of Lords 435
out of 505 peers are land owners to the extent
of II, 25O, 600 acres, or about one-titth of the
entire realm while in the House of Commons
there are 1874 proprietors owning 2,l2l, 900
acres besides a large number of sons and
heirs of land-holding peers. The land own

THE GREAT ISLAND OF NEW GUINEA. which
has recently been annexed to the English
government of Queensland, is the third larg,
est island in the world, and lies Immediately
south of the equator, between the Indian and
Pacific oceans. Its length is about 1900 miles,
its breadth from 40 to 400 miles, and the
whole area of the island, PA, 900 square
miles, is one third greater than that of France.
The climate of the island is remarkable for
humidity, and the vegetation is luTuriant,
covering the surface with magnificent for
ests. The NATIVES appear to form large
number of distinct tribes, those in the west
ern portion of tho island-the PapuRns prop
er-being apparently Malays or Polynesians,
while the people of East New Guinea are of
light copper color, active and slight OF
limb. Much of the coast line is fringed
with coral reefs, within which are several
good harbors; other portions present bold
cliffs, rising several thousand feet from the
shore, while the interior becomes still more
mountainous. The island produces tropical
fruits, yams, sweet potatoes, Indian corn and
sugar cane As yet the whole of the interi-
or of this vast island is unexplored, and not
till now been claimed by any civilized state.
