HIS OLD SOCKS

During the war, when The militia
were about Savannah, an old lady
who had a slxteen-year- old son down
there went to the depot at Greensboro
with pair of wool socks which she
wanted to send to her "bold soldier
boy" by telegraph. Some men were
working about the depot. One of them
told Ter to walk into the Office and
he would hang the socks on the wire
and n few moments she would hear
from Jim. The man pulled off his
dirty, well worn socks and putting on
the new ones hung the old ones ON
the wire and went Ia and told the old
lady that Jim had received the socks
and sent back his old ones, which
were hanging on the wire. The de.
lighted old lady raised her spectacles
saw the old socks, and requested the
man to take them down, remarking
in a voice full of pride and tender
ness: Jus like Jim-he always was
a keerful, savin boy; an be has sent
back his old socks for nanny to darn
'em-God. bless him ~ And in turn
we say God bless all such Innocent,

IN THE DARK

a young lady of Smithtown return
ed home little late the other even
ing, and, after a parting at the gate
with a ''some one else" crept up on
the front stoop and very softly insert
ed the night key in the lock, unfasten-
ed the door, and crept in the house so
as not TO awaken her parents, who
were slumbering upstairs. But luck
was against her, for she upset chair,
and voice from above Immediately
asked: who's there?" only me,
papa" What time is it, and where
have you been" Il only went down
to IS to spend the evening""
Imagine the young lady's feelisgs
when she heard her parental ancestor
get up and prepare to come down
stairs. She Immediately set her brain
at work TO get out OF the coming
storm. She at once fell upon the idea
that she had better turn the click a
little back, SO she went up 10 the man
tle-piece and as there was no lamp ia
the room she had to feel for it. She
found it, and gave the key which
turns the hands a twist, and with a
smile sat down to warm her feet and
await the arrival OF her dear papa. In
due time he arrived and brought with
him lamp. the hands On that much
abused clock registered $50 a. n.
The young lady, instead of turning
the hands back, had turned them
ahead. What followed we don't ike
to tell.

Herald in treating of the vexed ques-
ton says:
This extraordinary system of finance has,
no doubt grown up under the pressure Of
political influence on the Government of the
day. The demand for public works Of all
kinds productive and unproductve - has
proved too much for the strongest Administra.
ton, and the result appears to be that loans
and revenue have been practically thrown
together into a common fund, TO be
applied to any urgent public purpose
without reference to the original appropria.
ton.
This is the financial system Of ex-
travagant borrowing, without limit OF
provisions for maturity, that has re-
peatedly been lauded in Honolulu, and
published as precedent and a model
after which the Hawaiian system of go
ing into debt ought to be shaped. No
matter how great the credit of a
country may be, it is poor financial
policy which risks a nations credit by
borrowing extravagantly for uses which
should be limited to the actual revenues
Of the country.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The Philadelphia Press considers an
educational institution of high order
the brightest ornament of any city.
In the United States every two.

in England every fve-hundredth in
Scotland every sixth hundred and fif-
teenth, and in. Germany every one
hundred and thirteenth.
The annual reports of the Provost
and Treasurer of the University of
Pennsylvania, shows that the university
owns property of all kinds to the value
of $a,7o4,I14. OF this amount
nearly $I,5oo,oo are represented by
the building, furniture and equipments
of the university and its hospital, and
nearly $1,000, 900 by personal and
real property held as endowments for
various funds. The medical, dental
and law departments of the university
are selfsustaining.
1t is time that resolute stand was
made against home studies as i'm
posed upon the children in the public
schools. So great has this tyranny be-
come that the pupils of many schools
have no time for anything but their
books. Before breakfast, after dinner
and half the night they are compelled
to pore over their tasks, or take the
consequences of neglected lessons.
This is crushing their spirits and ruin
ing their health. Parents must take a
concerted action and forbid their chill
dren to study at home for more than an
hour or two each day. The Supervis-
ors should be taught that they have no
jurisdiction in the domicile. - Boston

POPULAR SCIENCE.

A new theory, propounded by M
Ludovic Breton, as to the formation oi
coal is that it is produced by the sink
ing of floating islands like those which
now occur on many lakes and rivers.
These islands are composed chiefly OF
turf, which being swallowed up by the
water, becomes fossilized at the bot
tom.
A French savant, who has devoted
considerable attention to the science
of heredity, believes that he has sue
ceeded in formulating the law which
determines the height of each individ-
ual. The mean stature of man or
woman, he says, is equivalent to one
third of the height of the father and OF
the mother and of the average height
of the race to which he or she belongs.
So that every person is the product not
only of his or her parents, but of the
race.
Microbes that produce disease are
probably good things out of place. A
New York lecturer says that they make
the nitrates, which ferment wine and
beer, purify rivers and prevent disease.
1t is the theory of Prof. Miles of the
Massachusetts, Agricultural College
that the growth of plants could not &c
on without the work of microbes in
preparing their food. The fermenta
ton which changes earthly or vegetable
matter into fertilizing material to be
absorbed by the roots of plants is the
work Of microbic life.
The prevention Of decay in wood i:
said to be effectively accomplished by
exhausting the air from the pores and
filling them with gutta percha solu
ton, substance which preserves the
wood alike from moisture, water, and
the action of the sun. The solution is
made by mixing two-thirds of gutta
percha to one-third of parafne, this
mixture being then heated to liquify
the gutta percha, when it is readily
introduced into the pores of the wood,
the effect of the gutta percha being,
when it becomes cool, to harden the
pores.
