Mr.. PARXHuRST'S DILEMMA.
The Unfortunate Predicament I'm Which

The Unfortunate Predicament I'm Which,
He Found Himself on a Recent Sunday
Morning.
The ncighbors Of Maurice J. Park
hurst, of North Eighteenth street, ad-
vjsed him when he put flagstaff on
top of his house, in order to celebrate
Governor Cleveland's election, that his
idea of having a gilt ball in the middle
of the pole was absurd. Mr.. Park
hurst thought that he knew better,
however, and so ran his halliards up
through the ball and floated the stand
ard OF Democracy from the top. He
swore. moreover, that the flag should
always Fly from his roof during the i'll
cumbcacy of his party. The wind of
Saturday night interfered with this
plan, and yesterday morning found
Mr.. Parkhurst' banner fiat on the
states. Its owner. while eating his
breakfast, told his wife that it should
be up again before he went to church.
and that he had climbed trees when he
WAS Il boy. Accordingly. he repaired
TO the roof. and. finding that the rope
WIS broken. proceeded to shin up the
Pole. He found no difficulty in getting
10 the top. and, having fixed the rope,
started back.
The location of The gilt ball interrupt
ed NJ Parkhurst' dowu-trip. After he
had lie: his legs 90 below The bail the
he found that It's protubarance was

hurst. who had been adniring her hus-
band from the scuttle, screamed As she
saw his dilemma. he climbed back TO
the Top OF The ball and took in the stu

which Mir. Parkhurst lives, people be-
gan 10 &C to church. Mr. Parkhur>t
RED again, but found that the circum-
ference of The ball and the length of his
legs retained their original relations.
NJ antime his wife ran for the neigh
Iors. When they came they saw the
OBVIOUS inpossibility OF either cutting
Che pole down or getting a ladder long
enough to reach the middle OF it. Mr.
Parkhurst swore. Then q thought oc-

WHAT is TIP
The Horrible Malaria Which Blights Our

Malaria my dear madam" explained
the physician, sis an-an affection pc
culiar to the-the human race, although
animals are frequently afflicted with it
as well. 1t is disease that-that is
pretty generally understood in the pro-
fession to-to be durable. if taken in
time, but if treatment is DELAYED it oc-
casionally proves serious if not fatal.
Like most diseases to which the human
frame is heir, the longer it is neglected
the more dangerous it becomes, particu-
larly in its advanced stage. The origin
of malaria" went on the learned doc
tor. declining a seat, 'can be traced to
the climate, or-to excessive dieting, or
excessive eating, as the case may be. OF
to defective water pipes. 1t is generally
found in marshy districts. where the at
mosphcre is moist, and in high localities,
where the atmosphere is dry. Some
people suffer more from it than others,
while some people suffer less than
others. Its nature is peculiar one.
What may be malaria is often some
CiSt, Nlisft II SpIllt-
thing else may often be malaria. but in
anv case no time should be lost in con-
sulting physician. This. my dear
madam, is the clearest definition of ma
laria that | can give without making
Use of technical terms which you. of
course. would not comprehend. 1t is
only within the past few years that
medical science has been able to cope
with it intelligently. If your daughter
should express desire for water let her

stances give it to her. Good morning

EARTH-WORMS.
Something About the Species which Are
Found in New Zealand.

Something About the Species Which Are
Found in New Zealand.
An interesting paper on the habits of
earth-wormS in New Zealand is con-
tributed to the New Zealand Institute
by Mr. A. T. Urquhart. Tae species
are not named. but with such wonder
full opportunities as Mr.. Urquhart POS
sesses for making collections of these,
NAV we hope that, in addition to his
following ont his painstaking o5SerSa-
tons as to their habits, he will also adj
vance science by making careful col
lection of the forms and placing them
in the hands of some of the able
naturaiists of the Auckland Institute
for description? 1t will be remember ed
that Darwin assumes that in I'D
pastures there may be 20, 500 worms
per acre, and that Henson gives 50, -67
gorms per acre for garden ground and
about half that number in corn fields.
Mr.. Urquhart gives. as the result of his
investigations OF an acre of pasture
land near Auckland, the large NUN
Der OF 34S. 4S0 v Jrms as found thereiI.
1t being suggested to him that ia
his selection of the spots for examine
ton he may have unconsciously select
ed the richest. the exper. meat was
again tried in field seventeen years in
grass. A piece was laid out into
squares of 120 feet. and a square foos
of soil was taken out of each corner;
worms hanging TO the side walls of the
holes were not counted, and in une
hole. where the return of worms was
blank, the walls were crowded with
worms. As result there was an aver
age of Is worms per square foot, or
7S4 $50 per acre. Although this aver
age is very striking when compared
with that of Henson. it is worthy o.
note that the difference between the
actual weight of the worms is not SO
marked. According to Henson, his
average of 50, 767 worms would weigh
$50 pounds, while Mr.. Urquhart fad5
that the average weight of the number
found by him came TO 6l2 pounds aud
, ounces.-Seientifc AnesTea;,.

The next American author to be
introduced into the French schools is
Emerson. Unlike Longfclow, whose
works were especially adapted for the
girls lycees, Emerson, as a more diff
cult author, is to be reserved for the
presumably more robust intellects of
young men. The task of editing and
explaining the writings of the philoso-
pher will naturally be greater than that
of illustrating the narratives of the
poet.-N. Y. Tribune.

time and full-time courses; that is. COM
plete courses requiring only thirteen
weeks attendance, as well as courses
covering period of forty-six weeks.
This would be half-time study, but it
would be concentrated, and a boy could
begin one year just where he left off the
preceding. We should gain regularity
where now we have irregularity; we
should know our work, and the boy
would have time to earn something. -

MANcRovEs AND OYSTERS.
Tropical Trecs with Oyster Appendages-
A Strange Phase Of Nature.

Tropical Teecs with Oyster Appendages-
A Strange Phase Of Nature.
am inclined to believe, in the econ
1my of nature, so far as constructive
process goes, the mangrove, in COM
bination with the oyster. has had much
to do with the building mp of this west
ern fringe of Florida. There is that
factor of resistance or obstruction to o
passage which renders mangrovc
thicket impossible to traverse save by
raccoons, snakes or birds. Starting in
delicate way, with a single thin, plant
stalk right in the salt water, after a
while. when the mangrove grows to
! some four or five feet high. it throws
down suckers from its trunk or branches,
which meet the waters again. In time,
the suckers being all around, the main
trunk seems to hitch itself clear out OF
the water. and to stansl upon its lower
branches like cheval de frise. Now
suppose manufacturer of gas fixtures
had made a hundred big candelabra,
and had stacked them in disorderly
way in a large room. the main pipes
upward, and the crooks and querls of
the branches on the floor. If you were
requested to walk across that room you
never could do it. You can fight
through an alder thicket, but never
through a growth of mangroves.
l do not think that sufficient inn
portance has been given to the role the
oyster plays IN conjunction with these
trees. When the mangrove grows on
the outer edge of the water-line, and
drops its aerial roots, no sooner are
these at the surface than at once the
spat of the racccon oyster finds a lodg-
ment. for there can be no waters SO
charged with life as those in these warm
seas. Ostrea parasitica nature origi-
mated to weight down the mangrove
and anchor in its place. These oysters
accumulate, growing in lunches as big
as mans head. In time these run
through the cycle of oyster life, die,
and drop from their branch, and fall in
the shallow water The calcareous
portions of the shells dissolve in part,
but some of the debris, with the sill
cious matter, remains. A little more
soil under water is made, and here
VIII SprOut anothef manSroVe, certain

1t looks to me as if the trees on the very
outer edge of the clump show greater
activity in this double vegetable and
molluscan life than the trees in the in
side. Growth, then, seems TO be ar
rested at certain points in this dual sys-
tenn and to be advanced in others. One,
two or three of these thickets arc sepa-
rated and may remain apart for years:
then a seed falls, finds its proper depth,
sprouts, new mangrove rises, and an
other and another, and The many isl
ands become one. Mangroves are al
ways growing, oysters depositing, then
pcrishing. the shells dropping, and so
natures laws of life and death are bal
anced, and make up that grand ever
lasting harmony.-Baraet PhiiiipS, IN
