an n. Carter, the head OF
II IS Art School Of the Coop
er IL ..e, contributes an anecdotal
paper to the December Century, in
which she says of Mr.. Cooper's aims:
"' All l want, he said, is, that these
poor women shall earn decent and re-
spectacle livings, and especially that
they shall be kept from marrying bad
husbands
This subject of unhappy marriages
seemed to be very prominent one in
Mr.. Cooper's mind. That women were
often imposed upon, were ill-used and
broken down, he had lively con-
viction; and all his chivalry and sense
of fatherly protection were enlisted to
save them, so far as he could, from
these ordinary misfortunes. While the
world is now occupied with the ques-
ton of what women can be taught,
their higher education, and many kind
red subjects, Mr.. Cooper's acute genius
discovered, as by intuition, many years
ago, the relation of women of the mid
die class to society, to industries, and
the family. He saw that many of them
could not marry, and he realized what
must be the forlorn position of num-
bGI VI cIucIly udtlSl lltIS VI IL pour LndH.
He had noted the dangerous likelihood
of giddy, ignorant young girls marry
ing anybody for a home, even if the
men they married were dissipated or
inefficient; and he had the tenderest
pity for poor widows or deserted wives.
He talked many times, and at great
length, on these subjects, and all cir
cumstances and any sort of incident
brought up this desire of his heart, to
help women to be happy, Independent,
and virtuous.
Zone of the last times he was at the
school, and while celebrated New
York clergyman was giving a course
of Lenten lectures to women, Mr..
Cooper, with his face all animated with
his feeling about it, said: DIR. - is
of the wealthy class, and he has been
used to deal with wealthy woman. The
| world does not look like the same
place to him that it does me. If he
could be in my place for a month, and
read the letters | get from poor and
suffering women, he would think that
it would be best to have them taught
anything which they could learn to
enable them to lessen all this trouble. !"

The Regular WAY.

Saturday forenoon man and his wife,
evidently on a visit from the interior,
rode up Woodward avenue on the car
for mile or so, and the woman then
raped ON the door for the driver to
stop. The pair left the car, but had
scarcely reached the ground when the
man remounted the platform and rung
the bell and stepped off. The driver
waited until they had reached the walk
and then asked:
''Why did you ring the bellP"
''Well | want folks to know that we
aren't half as green as we look,' was
the reply. 1--WE know how a street
car should be stopped just as well as
if we had lived here ten wears. We're
off-go aheadn'-Detroit Free Press.

The Mechanical Efforts of Roots.

The true mechanical efforts of roots
are exerted in their struggle for pro-
gress through the soil, and examples
for illustration are many. To under
stand the magnitude of their work, we
places an amount of soil equal to its
own bulk. Take for instance a crop OF
mangel wurzels, and imagine what an
upheaval must have been produced in
the soil by the growth OF its enormous
mass. The whole surface of the field
is raised and its particles loosened.
In practical questions of the farm,
this power is of value. Those who give
turnips and mangels place in their
system of rotation, do so ostensibly for
their feeding value, but beyond this
their mechanical effect is also of much
Importance.
The most striking results of the me-
chanical power of roots are seen when
they come in contact with the most re-
sisting obstacles. They hav been un-
earthed from compact gravelly soil,
where the struggle for room had been
so fierce that they became distorted out
of all natural shape 1t is not unusual
to IND trees growing IN the clefts oi
ledges, showing Enthusiastically that the
expansion of the roots has forced the
rock apart. A case is cited, on good
authority, of a root of the sugar maple
that had pushed its way under a rock
weighing nearly two tons, and by its
enlargement lifted it entirely from its
bed. Trees have been observed grow
ing on the bare rock, resting upon
their roots which ran out into the soil
on either side, and yet these roots, sup
porting the enormous weight of the
tree, formed each year new growth on
their underside, and lifted the tree by
the space of its thickness until seven
inches of wood had been formed under
the severe pressure. Mr.. W. z. Stone,

Wisconsin Birds.

The bird population of Wisconsin is
estimated at sixty-six per square mile,
or 5000, 600 for the state. Each bird
is assumed to eat fifty insects day, or
5000 for summer. Hence, all the
birds will consume q, 1884, 600, 600
insects a year. Add to this amount
the work which these birds do in their
Southern homes, and we have low
estimate of the influence they exert
over insect life. Multiply these figures
by iorty-eight, for the states and
territories, and we arrive at the con-
elusion not only that our bird population
is pretty large. but also that without it
our bug population would soon be so
large that it would eat US up.

A Small Bows Painful Discovery

81 don't altogether like this young
man Millikin who comes to see you SO
often. hear that he is nothing but q
poor dry-goods clerk" is what the
head of the family said to his daughter
one day at the dinner table.
''He is a very nice young gentle
man, replied the daughter, ''besides
he is something more than poor dry
goods clerk. He gets large salary,
and is manager of one of the depart
ments, and expects some day to have
an interest in the business.
Il hope he may" responded the old
man, "but he strikes me as a very
fiippant, impertinent young person,
and in my opinion he should be sat
down apon.
''Nel | have invited him to take tea
with us this evening"" said the daugh-
ter, ''and l hope you will treat him
politely at least. You will find him a
very different person from what you
suppose him to be"
'Oh, I'll treat him politely enough, -
he said.
That evening Mr. Millikin appeared
at supper, and made a most favorable
impression upon the old gentleman.
''He is a clever young fellow after all, -
he thought. Il have done him an in
justice.'
1t was just here thatBobby spoke out.
Bobby was well-meaning little boy,
but too talkative.
Papa he ventured, 'you know
what you said to-day at dinner about
Mr. MillilyiO tbat ba xvac q ', i,,o,,o,..i,
young man and ought to be sat down
upon"
Silence, sir!'' shouted the father,
swallowing mouthful of hot potato.
But the little fellow wouldn't silence.
'1ts all right" he continued, con-
identially, but in d whisper loud
enough to be heard out doors, che has
been sat down upon. Sister sat down
on him last night for two hours.''
After this the dinner went on more
queitly, owing to Bobby's sudden and
very jerky departure. philadelphia

when His Heart Thawed Ont

One day two or three years ago a
gruff old man, hard-hearted and given
to drink, and living alone in a house
on Gratiot street, found crippled boy
or 10 years of age crying in front of
his door. 1t was his way 10 curse chill
dren and drive them away, but in this
instance he spoke kindly to the lad,
and even-sympathized with him. For
that once his hardened heart seemed to
thaw out, and men who noticed his
kind action wondered greatly.
BY and by the crippled boy, known
as jake, seemed to grow into the old
mans heart and spent hours with him
at his house. He was, so far as any
one could remember, the first and only
human being to say kind word for
gruff old Ben.
When the old man fell sick a few
weeks ago nobody missed him for sew
eral days. Indeed, no one cared much
whether he was sick or well, but some
one interested himself enough to dis
nursed by the cripple. The days and
nights must have been terribly lone
some to the lad, but he was faithful to
the last. The other morning he quiet
ly announced to the neighbors that Old
Ben was dead. Those who went in
found the rooms in neat order, the dead
man lying as if asleep, and the money
to bury him was safe in an old wallet
in the bureau. When they asked jake
about it he explained:
He died as easy as a baby. Long
at first he used to curse and swear
about his sickness, but after a while he
let me read the bible to him, and some
times | saw tears in his eyes.
''Folks thought him a hard man"
''But he wasn't When his heart
thawed out, he was like a child. One
day | brought him from the chest lot
of old letters, the photograph of a wo-
man and baby, and he cried over them
/ guess they were dead, and 1 guess
he had had lots of trouble"
''Did he die easyP'
''Just like going to Sleep" answered
the lad. ''It was just daylight / sat
by the bed and had fallen asleep, when
he put out his hand and whispered:
Jake, I'm dyingr With that l Jump
ed up to do something, but he said it
was too late. There was great change
in him. All the hardness had gone out
of his face, his eyes had a kind look,
and the boys who used to be afraid of
him wouldn't have known him for the
same man. | was reading to him
from the old bible when all at once his
fingers let 60 of my hand and he was
dead -
''And then?"
The boy turned away and wept.
From the day gruff old Ben had ad-
dressed him word the prayers of a
child pleading for awicked man had been
heard in Heaven. He had prayed for
him in life and after death. and if the
prayer had not brought that peaceful
look to the white, dead face, what else
could have done it.-Detr0jt Free Press.
