A shower Of dead birds seemed
to have fallen on the sidewalks and
streets surrounding the Chicago
Board of Trade building during a
severe storm on last Saturday night

there on Sunday morning. They
comprised birds of very many

that they were in migratory iiocks

light on the tower of the building,
and either dashed against it or were
killed by contact with it.

There's the man that lets you shake his
limpy hand
He's a bore.
And the man that leans against you when
YOU stand
Get his gore.
There's the man who has a fear
That the world is year by year
Growing worse-perhaps he's near
Bolt the door.
There's the fellow with conudrums quite
antique
He's a bore.
And the man that asks you, "WhatP'

Though You roar.
There's the man who Slaps your back
With button-bursting whack--
Ii you think he's on your track
Bolt the door.
There's the punster with his everlasting
pun
Hes a bore.
And the man who makes aliiteratiye fun
Worse and more;
There's the man that tells the tale
That a year ago was stale
Perhaps he's ont Of Jail,

came suddenly face to face with a
Blackmail. Each started back in
astonishment at seeing his own
features reproduced in the count
enance of the other. After mutual
inquiries each rolled up his sleeves
and the Strawberry marks on the
arms were found to be identical.

Blackmail's long-lost brother from

OF the earlier Presidents, Washington was
the wealthiest. When he died his estate at
moderate valuation was worth 100000

his last years, thanks to the good manage.
ment of his wife. Jefferson was wealthy
when he became President, but lost his pro-
perty and died insolvent. His home was
sold, and his daughter was saved from want
by the generosity of South Carolina, which
gave her $4,000. Congress bought his IL
brary, and with the proceeds his debts were
paid. All of his descendants are poor. Madi-
son left handsome property and was veal
thy when President. Congress bought his
manuscript papers, paying $4,000 for them.
Mrs. Madison's son, Payne Todd, squander-
ed her property, and in few years after her
husbands death she was poor. His estate
was valued at $2S0,000 in 1916.
James Monroe died insolvent. He sold his
Virginia estate after the death of his wife, and
died in New York.
John Quincy Adams left $4,000. His sue
cessor, Andrew Jackson, was rich man for
his day. The Hermitage, which he left to
his adopted son, is now the property of the
State. Martin Van Buren, left fine estate
valued at 100000.
James X. Polk left about half this amount,
and, as he had no children to make use of it,
his widow has enjoyed it since his death.
l. uOun Il JiSl Wdb uOb " it'll IndU, blOuRn he
owned fine farm in Virginia and a number
of slaves. He had large family, and was
SO long in public life that he went to the

enabled him to live in comfort afterwards
His second wife had means, and their eight
children were well educated.
Mr. Fillmore, by second marriage, became
a wealthy man.

property, which was valued at $4,000.

$4,000.
Andrew Johnson had $4,000 when he
left the White House A part of this amount
was lost by the failure of the Freedman's
Bank.
President Grant never had money until he
became Lieutenant General. His salary and
the generous gifts of his friends made him
millionaire. All of his property was lost in
the Grant-Ward failure. His wife is indie
pendent again through the sale of his book.
Hayes is very wealthy
The gifts to Mrs. Garfield made her rich
Her husband left a small property, worth
not more than $4,000.

Taking Life in Earnest.

meet, said DR.. Arnold, with great many
persons in the course of the year, and with
many whom l admire and like; but what
feel daily more and more to need, as life every
year rises more and more before me in its
true reality, is to have intercourse with those
who take life in earnest. 1t is very painful
to me to be always on the surface of things !;
and | feel that literature, science, politics,
many topics of far greater interest than mere
gossip or talking about the weather, are yet,
as they are generally talked about, still upon
the surface-they do not touch the real depths
of life. 1t tie not that want much of what is
called religious conversation-that l believe,
is often on the surface, like other conversa-
tion-but want sign which one catches as
by sort of masonry, that man who knows
what he is about in life, whittier tending, in
what cause engaged and when l find this,
ii seems to open my heart as thoroughly and
with as fresh sympathy as when l was
twenty years younger.

A Plea for the Girl of To-day.

The girl of to-day is busy, useful worker
She is generally proficient in needlework.-
She cannot only alter her own dresses, but
cut and make those and her under-clothing
as well. She has knack at trimming her hats
and furnishing her wardrobe, and does her
full share at helping the dressmaker who
comes to assume charge of the Spring and
Fall sewing. She understands the various
branches ofmending and takes that division
of labor of her mothers hands, as the care of
parlors and dining rooms, the arrangement
of flowers, the supervision of the manners
and apparel of the younger children, and
sometimes of their studies, too. Let full JUS
tice be done to the girl Of the PERIOD or
rather let there be clear comprehension of
what shall be really represented by that
much-abused phrase 1t is not fair 10 take
the weakest specimens of the sex as types of
a class comprising earnest workers, with
strong conceptions of life, its responsibilities
and burdens, and steady purpose to bear
them according to their ability.
