New Haven Register: There is story, at his own expense, which the late Profes- sor Moses Stuart Phelps used to tell with great glee In the days when he was graduate student at New Haven, he took a walk one morning with Professor Newton, a man who lives in the world of mathe- matics, and simply exists in the common world of ordinary common things. Pro- lessor Newton, as is his habit, started off on the discussion of all abtruse problem As the professor went deeper and deeper, Mir. Phelps's mind wandered farther and farther from what was being said. At last MT. Phelps's attention was called back to his companion by the professors winding up with, (Which you see gives us K. " 'Does it?" asked MT. Phelps, thinking that in politeness he ought to say some thing. ''Why doesn't it?" excitedly re- piled the professor, alarmed at the possi- bility that flaw had been detected in his calculations. Quickly his mind ran back over the work. There had indeed been a mistake "You are right" almost shouted the professor. ''It doesn't give us x, 1t gives us "" And from that hour Pro- lessor Newton looked upon MT. Phelps as mathematical prodigy. He was the first man who had ever caught the professor tripping ssAnd so," MT. Phelps used of ten to add, with his own peculiar smile, in telling the story, ''I achieved reputation for knowing thing hate Its the way many regulations are made in this superf- cial world"

People who have got rid of the night air superstition can almost defy dyspepsia by sleeping in & cross-draught, or, in cold weather, at least near 8 half-open window. Gold, fresh air is an invaluable aid to the assimilation of non-nitrogenous articles of food fat meat, butter, etc.). Sitting bed rooms almost neutralizes the effects of out door exercise. Winter is, therefore, on the whole, the most suspicious time for beginning dyspepsia cure. In summer a high sanitarium is the best place to start with, or, for coast-dwellers, 8 surfy sea- shore. Early rising, cold bath before breakfast, frequent ablutions, deep draughts of cold water, favored with seltzer and su- gar or a few drops of raspberry syrup, an air-bath before going to bed, and wide open bedroom windows will score an inn portant point in favor of nature-the re- turn of normal appetite, and with it of renewed strength and mental elasticity. If the after-dinner affiiction should show no direct signs of abatement, the patient must bide his time, and under no circumstances resort to the drug exorcism. Temporary blue-devils are far preferable to a persistent blue-pill Belzeebub.

All is quiet and still, But the noise of the bird in his cage: By the clock, 'tis the hour of three," Few the weeks, tho it seems like an age
 Since with motherly thrill, And pride, fair in mothers to see, l waited impatient the hour of four To hear the quick steps at the door,
 Of my darling from school. AS I waited, the castles were fair Fair the castles built in the air Of my boys future glory and fame, And his manhood's illustrious name. As pondered, I pictured the child With his brave little face And I tenderly smiled, As pictured him there in his place At the school, with fingers so busy, and eyes Learning lessons both simple and wise.
 Then tasks put away,
 The closing song for the day I heard it faintly borne on the air Child-voices, with which no sound can com pare; And out of them all, l fancied caught the rise and fall Of my boys brave childish voice: The voice I loved most to hear.
 Then @ racket and noise
 Of hurrying girls aud boys: And I waited, when he should be here. I opened the door and let him in: I kissed his lips, his cheek and his chin: And I asked him. "What of the school to-day ?" And when he had said his own sweet say, Boy that he was, he was off to play.
 All is quiet and still, But the nose of the bird in the cage. The weeks have passed that seemed like an age.
 I feel no motherly thrill; feel no motherly pride; do not wait for school and tasks to be OCT 1o e. Desolate, sad ,-I am a mother no more. The hands of the clock may point to four, or at three, It is nothing to me. The little shoes that went schoolward day by
 laid sadly away. Never again on the street Shall be heard the sound of my darling feet From the desk and the scholarly place, Has vanished his sweet fair face. And yet thro' it all Like @ meteors white, swift fall, There flashes adown the thought My darling has only gone to a higher school
 to be taught I cannot open the door to let him in, I cannot kiss the mouth, the cheek and the chin l cannot ask him ''What of the school to-day?' But I can picture him, bright and passing fair
 As fair, bright angels are With countless throng of children, shining
 and pure,
 Robed in the white of heaven, in love secure Learning of angels in sight of the Father throne. Lessons above the wisest sage's reach; Learning such lessons as only thea angels teach In school, with the glorifed children band, Vast as the seashore's rim of snowy sand, Measureless spans of light immortal spread I Over the tender beauty of each young haad 1; Christ in the midst, and love the bless'd rule My darling gathered in to the higher school Envy me not, oh mothers whose childrel
 plod
 Schoolward thro' snow, and heat, and toll o
 earth
 Envy me not, my darling's glorious birth Into the blessed and higher schools of God. And when the tasks and duties of life are o'el Twill be my darlings hand to open the door My little one's kiss on lip, and cheek ,and chin To welcome the weary and waiting mother in

A Montana paper states that the Northern
Pacific contemplates damming the Missouri
river in the canyon above Tosten's ferry, for
the purpose of raising the water above the
banks 30 that it may be used for irrigating a
big tract of countrY-probably million acres.
1t is said that the tall cliffs both sides of the
river in the canyon can be tumbled into the
river to fill it up by blasting. It is big thing
but the consent of congress is required as the
upper Missouri is supposed to be navigable.
Holding down claim is generally rather
prosy work for young man, but there is spice
of novelty and adventure about it, and some
times even romance. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Griffin have just left their fine claim in Kidder
county to spend some time visiting his parents
at Battle Creek, Mich. He has cleared over
$500 this summer working himself and one
team, besides carrying on his own claim. Two
years ago Frank and another Michigan boy
came out and took claims adjoining near Daw-
son. They became intimate and generally oc-
cupied the same shanty. Each had young
sister in the east, and the idea struck them to
send for the girls to come out and keep house
for them and have merry quartette. The
girls came and it was not long before the four
became two married couple aud happy as young
calves. Other young men in the east would do
well to follow suit.

CHICAGO, Nov. "a Ex-senator George
E. Spencer, formerly from Alabama, now
mining in Nevada, passed through this
city to day en- route to. Washington in
charge of United States marshal. The
arrest of the ex-senator is for contempt of
court, III failing to respond to a subpoena
to appear at TIE star route trial. Spencer
was originally engaged in star route in
vestigatIon when James was postmaster
general, but when the case was called for
trial he went to Europe to avoid testify
ing. In an interview to-day when asked
why he had failed to testify, Spencer said,
he was the first man to sug-
gest the star route investigation,
and when they were begun
he gave the postmaster general and gov
eminent the benefit of what he knew about
them. He claims he did this without re-
eompense, and claims further that he had
an understanding with President Garfield
and Postmaster General James that he
should not be known 10 the matter or be
made a witness for the prosecution when
he got his evidence in shape. He declares
he went to his home in Nevada expecting
that was the end to the matter
Under what circumstances were you
arrested? he was asked In July the at.
torney general sent capias to Nevada for
my arrest and was not there. United
States marshal to whom it was sent put the
document in a pigeon hole and there il
laid until g week or two ago, when he
wrote to Washington asking what he should
do with it, and the reply was hifslntir

eral, ordering him to arrest me and bring
me to Washington forthwith. go he-e

and that he could prove by Postmaster
