A Prospective Sixty.Nlnth Glacial
Epoch. I-


.F~>as
Omaha Bee.
Prof. Paige has recently returned
from the Bad Lands Of Dakota, from
where he sent a carload of bones to
the Smithsonian Institute at Wash
ington. Among other remains dis
covered and secured by him were the
bones of lizard eighty feet long.
The Professor now has in contempla-
ton an extended trip, which will take
him around the coast Of South Africa.
Thus far, among all the African ex-
plorers, he says, not one of them has
been a scientific man, and he proposes
to undertake the trip himself. He is
now waiting for the return of James
Gordon Bennett from abroad, and he
is expected in May or June. He has
had assurances that Bennett will IA
pidly take hold of his scheme. Prof.
Paige will not plunge into the jungles
and risk his life in that way, but will
keep in the vicinity of the coast, and
will be SO well provided for that he
will take his wife along with him.
His object in going is to make some
scientific investigation as to theproba-
BILE return of a glacial epoch to South
Africa. There have been sixty eight
of these epochs and Prof. Paige thinks
this country will see another in the
course of 1000 or 5000 years, and
will of course by that time be entirely
depopulated. AS most of our citizens
do not expect to live SO long this pre-
diction will not prove so alarming as
Virgins prophecy; + w
Mr.. Paige thinks that the period of
severe storms which have ravaged the
country of late will continue for six
or seven years yet, after which there
will be calmer period. He thinks
the construction of caves by Nebraska
people, who live on the prairies, as a
place of refuge from cyclones and
billiards., is a good thing, and one
that does not indicate cowardice, but
the precaution of a wise man.

The Woes Of Newspaper Men.
Talmage Sermon.

Encourage newspaper men, for you
know not what annoyances they go
through, Their most deliberately pre-
pared articles sometimes thrown out
because of pressure on the columns;
expected to make accurate report of
some speaker who is SO indistinct of
utterance the entire discourse is one
long stenographic guess; the midnight
that finds you asleep demanding that
you be wide awake; their most careful
work DETAINED by one careless type
setter; their lives ground out between
the wheels of our great brain manu-
factories; wicked with the approaches
of those who want newspaper COM
mendation or retraction; now called
on to sketch funeral; now pugi-
listic encounter; shifted from place
to place by any sudden revolution any
day liable to come in any journalistic
establishment; precarious Life becom'
ing more and more precarious. Be
affable to them when you have no az
to sharpen on their grlndstone. Dis
cuss in. your own mind what the
nineteenth century would be without
the newspaper, and learn that every
opportunity to cheer all who have
anything to do with this great inter
est, from the chief Of editorial stat
down to the boy who throws in tn
morning and evening paper on you

lCor. Albany Journal
The remark was a great deal to get out az
Booth. He very rarely had anything to say
on topics connected with his profession.
That is partly because he has few ideas of
his own as to acting and the rest of his ret
icenre is due to his low estimation of his
ability as an original talker. 1t is no
criticism Of his achievements as an actor,
one way or the other, TO say that it is wholly
mechanical. intellectual though his Hamlet
may appear, it is doubtful il he within
ten years, il ever, bestowed an hour Of
of really original study on it. He plays
the part as did his father before
him, and has repeated it SO many times that
the work, always without inspiration, is now
as t~houghtleSs as a cough or a snore. He is
frank about it. There is no sham in Booth.
He does not hire clever writers to produce
magazine articles to which he may attach his
name. | knew of his being invited to con-
tribute to n publication, along with other
celebrities of his own and other professions.
His reply was: "If 1 tried, l should Ger
tainly fail at it." He has few theories and
no imagination
without the necessity of studying now
roles, l donbt if he reads for pleasure or cal
ture a page of Shakespeare per year. There
is an immensely of humbug about histrion-
ism, but here is an expert who does not take
his share. Nor has he any enthusiasm in his
art. The last of the Booths-there is no heir
of the name-is an exponent of all of the arti
fee of dramatic miniicry which he learned
from his family predecessors, without a spark
of their fire of genius. But he has q bank
account of dollars where any one of them
hal cents. He is about to invest some of his
half million in a Boston residence. Does
that indicate a third wifel His friends have
had no intimation Of such a thing.

1'Gath" in New York Tribune.1
Few Americans have any idea about the
Weiland canal. looked at this new achieve
ment Of the Canadians last week; tho Great
Western railroad of Canada runs beneath
the canal by n tunnel; the old Welland canal,
which is still used, lies some two or three
miles to the west Of the present one, The
old canal was a towpath concern and did not
admit steam-tug coincident with tho vessel.
The new canal has fourteen feet of water
when there is high water, but in summa
drouth it is said to DO less than fourteen feet
1t is n mngniiicently constructed work, and
excites surprise that the Americans should
havo permitted tho Canadians to anticipate
them.
Vet it will be observed tina the facilities
for this canal through Canada are much bot
ter tbu1i through the United States. The
axis of the two lakes, Erie and Ontario,
passes through Canida; the niagara river
issues from the extreme eastern end Of Lake
Erie, while Lake Ontario overlnps Lake Eric
considerably in Canada. 1t is rather start
ling 10 see moving through the apparently
solid ground, for tho country is very high
where the new Wellnnd canal is built, tall
massive ocean steamers, f~ull-riggel ships,
etc, sometimes as continuous as a caravan
across the desert. They go along silently,
not n sound or whistle escaping them, and
the visitor sometimes thinks his mind is de-
ccived and that tho landscape is haunted

a policeman. To the westward, his 1.-the
manly form sharply outlined againt the
crimson rim of the horizon, Pizarro McGin-
ness, earl of Blue Island avenue, leaned list
leSsly against an ash-baTrel, and as the streeG
car rocked idly at its moorings a cold, cynical
smile lowered like a last weeks pie around
his finely chiseled lips, and in the azure
depths Of his eyes there was a baleful light
that told all too plainly of some terrible re-
solve-perhnps to go to work. A hen lut-
tered through the back yard of the castle
Mulcahe,, and a dead horse threw all the
surrounding harmonies into a minor KEY.
Still the horse-car moved not, and Pizarro
was equally motionless. From over the
dashboard the duke OF Galway cast ii fierce,
contemptuous glance at the young man, but
he needed it not Carl Schurz champed tho
bit impatiently, and ever and amor struck
viciously at the earth with his iron-shod

At last tho sound of a clear. girlish voice
broke the silence, and an instant later the
Lady Constance Clancarty, daughter of the
proud duke, emerged from the castle. Shoe
ing with one wave OF her hand a large flock
of geese from the front yard she walked In a
stately fashion toward the gate beside which
Pilarro was standing. Then, for the first
time, sho saw her fathers street car, an as
her glance fell for an instant on that piratical
craft a shudder passed over her lissome form,
and in hor eyes there came n startled, fear

But it was too late TO retreat, nor, indeed,

rrcat comfort in tho bright. cheerful stran-
ger And the squire, hearing the fresh young
voice singing about the house, would give a
great sigh for the lost voice, but somehow
the old house seemed less lonely to him, and
after n while his first question would be,
Where's Molly!" The plain country society
readily took her in and considered her high
authority in the matter of looping Of over
skirts and doing up of hair, and at last nc
merry-making was complete without Molly

true that Some of the smart young farmer
OF the region round about tied their horsei
occasionally at the squire's gate, and it il

ANbHA SNNAl
The Chinese are very inconsistent in their
talk about the dignity of labor. Once a
year the emperor and chief noblemen ut his
court go into a field and pillow up n few fur
rows, while the empress raises %cocoanuts OF
her own TO set a good example to their sub
jects. AT the same time they allow the
finger nails to grow to an extent which in
cnpacitates them for labor OF any descrip-
ton. Ii is considered a sign Of greatest gem
tility, aud a remarkable amount OF timeland
talent is expended in polishing and sharpening
them. When they have reached u few inches
in length, they are inclosed in silver or gold
sheaths, and turned backward to the elbow
for protection. One gentleman in Shanghai
has grown his nails to the length of eighteen
inches. The women, as is well known, nave
their feet bound from the time they are
born, and when they are grown the exceed
ingly fine Indies have to be helped around by
their maids, 50 useless nave they hecomei /
have seen women whose feet were only thres
