The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1886-01-21
Great noise shall there be heard, great shouts

Great noise shall there be heard, great shouts
and cries,
And seas shall thunder louder than the skies.
Then shall three lions fight with three, and
bring
Joy to a people, honor to a king.
Peace shall then be as before;
Plenty shall everywhere be found,
And men with swords shall pillow the ground.
James was also his predecessor,
Queen Elizabeth, was disturbed by the
strange prophecies Of Mother Shipton.
For Bess, despite of her masculine in
tellect and iron will, was a very woman
in many essentials. To her Mother
Shipton foretold:
Before the good folk Of this kingdom be un-
done,
Shall Highgate hill stand in the midst of
London.
This consummation is rapidly being
reached to-day, if not at the time it was
versed. James, as also Elizabeth, was
so moved by the old DANES words that
he forbade by law additions to London
in the way of building. Down to the
fire OF 1866, London as a metropolis
was very compact. Mother Symptoms
sign presents a demure, wizened dame
on its swinging board, and leads to odd,
ghostlike visions. But a truce to her.
Entering the inn to look about a bit,
the pert barmaid says: ''What shall it
be, miss?" 1 reply: "Water, clear,
filtered water: but here is your sixpence,
and let us unite in drinking death to
superstitution of the black art and the
potency of The Three Mothers"
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1886-01-21

The inspiration of this modern and truly re-
markable club, for inspiration it was, belongs
entirely to the founder and President, since its
start, Mr.. Cortlandt Palmer. Apart from
this, however, and previous to its inception, he
was principally known as a man of extremely
radical tendencies, though the inheritor OF a
million and a good old name. Looking at him
as he stands, introducing the subject and the
speaker of the evening, in the earnest, easy,
natural manner habitual with him, one sees a
slight, blonde man, with brown hair parted in
the middle, a reddish brown moustache and
blue gray eyes, whose somewhat limited vision
is aided by glasses. The description of ex-
ternals, which might apply to thousands OF
other men in New York and elsewhere, gives
no idea of the singular clearness, sincerity and
refinement of Mr.. Palmer's appearance, tenn
permanent and character. He is himself to
such an extent as to be unique, but like the
author of 'Ecce Homo" he recognizes his kim
ship with everything else that is human. This
is not the genius of the temperament of the
money-maker, and Mr.. Palmer is therefore
better known for what he gives than what he
makes, and could not by any possibility be-
almost a misfortune that he has never known
the necessity for earning money, for his
ability both as writer and speaker would have
won him distinction in almost any field in
which it might have been eXerted. As it is, he
has been foster father to many beautiful but
forlorn hopes and enterprises, born ahead OF
their time and therefore cut off before coming
to maturity. Born in Fourteenth street, in
what was then (1S43) the extreme upper and
most fashionable portion of New York City, of
old English ian English ancestor, Walter Pal
mer, settled in Connecticut about $500 and
Knickerbocker stock (Suydama) whence, on
the maternal side, did he receive that fountain
of moral courage, sympathy and universal
charity which are the most striking character

Iron-CIaas and Torpedo-Boats.

A Berlin dispatch to The London
Standard says: The new iron-clad
Oldenburg, will be of entirely novel
construction. 1t is a broadside ship,
with 10-inch guns, five on each side, two
above and three below deck, but the
whole five can be concentrated on the
same point with sufficient force, it is es-
timated, to disable even the strongest
iron-clad. The displacement of the
Oldenburg is 5000 tons, and her engines
$500 horsepower, enabling her to steam
fourteen English miles an hour. The
German government is apparently not
well satisfied with the construction of
the torpedo-boats at Stettin. 1t has Or
dered new ones in England, and refuses
to accept six that have been completed.
China also has ordered her three new
iron-clads to be built in England and
not at Stettin. Herr Schwarzkopf, of
Berlin, will on Tuesday next complete
his thousandth torpedo.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1886-01-21
London as a Social Forest.

London is a large social forest, marked
everywhere by the rich, struggling free
dom, unregulated variety, and indefin-
lite limit which distinguish a forest from
an artificial garden or a walled orchard.
And, like a great forest also. it has not
a few free green places scattered here
and there, to let in the light and give
currency to the breezes, while the long
lines of streets which we have mentioned
are like the green walks through a for
est, which enable the woodman to use
his TX freely, and to transport the fruits
of his labor with ease and expedition to
their proper destiny.
The opposite style of this rambling
character of London may be best. seen
in Berlin. The magnificent capital of
Prussia-or now, rather, of Germany
has more the aspect of a manufacture
than a growth. The streets run rank
and file, like the batalions of a great
army. They are utterly without the
freedom, the picturesqueness, and the
ever-changing diversity which is the
great charm of London-of course, we
repeat here, of London taken as a whole.
There are parts and whole districts of
London which are as bald as the most
prosaic lines of streets in Berlin or
Mannheim, and as destitute of any dis
tinctive feature as a feeble curate'S first
sermon, in which the skeleton of some
preachers help" has been tricked up
into the customary properties of the
pulpit. But these long rows of taste
less m%onotony in London are only parts,
ryhInh wv ofho, 40 -v~,1 ,1a1o III
whole, and are, moreover, largely re-
lieved either by a grand sweep of the
adjacent parks or by those frequent
green squares of open ground which add
a charm to the most prosaic architecture
of a town, similar to that conferred by
the bending river on the monotony of a
wide champaign. AS to England gen.
orally, the presence of this fresh and
fragrant green-not in strips only here
and there, but everywhere, in large, in
terminable Sweepstakes a charm to
the landscape with which neither Italy
nor Germany nor any fairest continent
tai country can vie, SO in London the
glory of green trees, wildly fresh amid
the dullness of old bricky courts, and
beneath the pail of a frequently cloudy
sky, brings the memory, so to speak,
and a certain aff1atus of the country into
the town just as the arms of the sea on
the west of the Highlands run with a
graceful willfulness up to the root of
the bens, bringing the strong breath of
ocean along with them. This strange
and unexpected combination of contrary
things fills the eye with changes of
pleaSurable surprise.
A great contribution to this delight
full intermiXture of town and country
is formed by what was once the suburbs
of London, but what are now essential
parts of the city; for it is a rule, with
few exceptions, that men who do bust

trict of which St. Pauls is the center.

You Should Think.

One of the most idiotic practical jokes
INDUCED in by persons carrying light
weight brains is loading a cigar or pipe
with powder for some victim to endan-
ger his eyesight. 1t is on a par with
suddenly drawing away a chair upon
which somebody is about to sit, then
laughing at the party's discontinue.
Sometimes the laugh is on the wrong
side of the mouth, when the victim hur-
riedly proceeds to put the joker's eye in
mourning, or tap him forcibly on the
proboscis, and serve him right. Harm
less jokes are excellent, but anything
that may disfigure or cripple anybody
for life should not be INDUCED in. Il

A rigid mother in Bath, Me-, has succeeded
in having her daughters beau arrested and
arraigned for staying too late in her house at
night. The Bath papers cut the affair short 1,
by saying that he was released on his promise
to leave town the next day. This will give the
world an exalted idea of the Bath daughters,
for had it been in any other state the girl
would have left town herself the next day, if
only to keep her lover company.-New YORK

FARMERS CHILDREN.
A Suggestion Which should BE Talked
Over in Eural Com unities.

A Suggestion Which should BE Talked
Over in Rural Communities.
A country-bred woman living in
large city gave lessons in cooking to
half dozen working girls. She found
them ignorant of the simplest details of
work, because they had never seen 1t
done. If they had grown up in country
homes she would have found them al
ready familiar with the theory of cook
ing and only in need of practice.
Washington GLADDEN. believed that
country boys made the most successful
men, SO he sent letters to hundred
successful business men in all ranks of
city life, asking them where their boy
hood had been spent, and how their
time, out of school hours, was used.
The replies showed that most of them
were from country homes, where out
of-school duties trained their hands and
gave them habits of industry. in many
large cities there are now schools where
little girls can learn to cook, set
a table neatly, sew, darn, mend,
sweep and dust, and their BROTH
ers are taught to use carpenters
tools, and to model in wood such things
as houses, fences and furniture, and as
of value and beauty, of suitable sizes
for use. The Children's Industrial Ex-
hibit. on, held in New York CITY, showed
work done out of schools) by children
all over the country. And there is
stir and Il ilutter of little han Is in the
cities as tEey busy themselves with these
new lessons. The country children al
ready know many things these little
folks are studying out with active fin
gers; why can they not be helped to
learn still more? Are there not posi-
bilities for cooking, sewing and car
pentering classes in the country?
A class OF six Or more little girls
might meet once week under tho
guidance of a grown-up sister. auntie
or mother, and cook the meal they eat
together, each one bringing share of
uncooked materials and doing share
directing all the work, but doing
none. Setting the table and
table manners would come in for a
share of her care. A workshop for the
boys might be organ zcl during the sea-
sui "lIcH IllCIc-JS lilc iCdSU iIl-No N,
and some farmer, handy with tools,
could greatly benefit the boys of the
neighborhood by giving them lessons in
simple work with the hammer, saws and
nails. Studying books is good; train
ing the hands to make the study practi-
cal is better.
The advantages of such classes would
be many; first of all, the children would
feel that good work is important, and it
would become interesting, and, instead
of hur;ying through their out-of-school
duties in the most careless way, they
would find a pleasure in doing them
well. Then, in a class, if only three or
four. the sense of companionship and
the efforts made by each one to work as
well as the rest would add a charm for
the children. Try something of this
kind and report the results.-A!ice
