The following story comes from a school
in the Midlands. The master told the boys
of the third class to write short essay on
Columbus The following was sent up by
an ambitious essayist: "Clumbus was
man who could make an egg stand on end
without breaking it The king OF Spain said
to Clumbus, Can you discover American
Yes said Ciumbus, If you will give INC
a ship. So he had a ship, and sailed
over the sea in the direction where he
thought America ought to be found. The
sailors quarreied, ana said they believed
there was no such place. But after many
days the pilot came to him and said: .Clum-

Clumbus When the ship got near, the land
was full of black men. Clumbus said, Is
this American Yes, it is said said they.
Then he said, I suppose you are the Mig

said. I suppose you are Clumbus?' You are

Sleeping in Church.

The Philadelphia Record has inter
viewed a number OF preachers and
Others on the subject of sleeping in
church. 1t finds the practice quite
general, though the ministers bemoan
its sintulness. The Record says:
A physician who was asked for rea-
sons why people became drowsy in
church, and if there was any remedy
for chronic cases, said that the drowsy
feeling in church was often due to bad
construction, to overheating and to
the general quiet and composing sur
roundings. II have often" said he,
"advised patients of mine who are
troubled with insomnia to try Il quiet
church where the preacher was not
too energetic in his manner, and in
most cases the result has been crafty
almost wild through want OF
sleep generally obtains relief and
falls off into a gentle and refresh
ing s!umber. Many people suffering in
this way take a ride in railroad train
Tor relief and often get 1t, but nothing
has succeeded as the Sunday morning
service III q quiet church. Ii those peo-
pie, however, who do not need to sleep
in church, and do not want to, would
drink very strong tea or coffee before
going to the church, they might find it
effective, but by no means healthy.
Why do you see the bald-heads nod
ding most in church, Because the
old are more susceptible to the influ-
ence Of such surroundings. Thewomen
seldom go to sleep, because they are
SO dressed that to sleep would be al
most impossible. Ii the men would
lace themselves up tight they might
keep awake, too, but in the words OF
Gen. Knickerbocker They cawn't do
it, you know"

Letter from Saratoga springs.

Letter from Saratoga Springs.
You are favored with wonderfully
optimistic correspondent. AS seen
through his roseate spectacles, Sara
toga is now to the business man ve-
ritable bonanza, and to all others a
modern grove of Daphne. But the
fact OF the case is, Saratoga is very
dull. l have good authority for say.
ing that instead OF 5000 there are
now scarcely 5000 visitors here. A
canvass reveals that in all the large
hotels together there cannot be found
1000 persons, if you exclude the army
OF servants. There are many board.
ing-houses, but only very few are full;
none has enough. Some that
had forty or fifty boarders at
this time one year ago have
only four or five now. The Howland
house, on upper Broadway, a few days
ago, had forty boarders, but the Gar
den View, equally large, attractive and
popular, at the same time had only
three or four. A gentleman told me
that the barkeeper at one of the chief
hotels said that the receipts one day
were only 81, but the corresponding
day a year ago they were $780, In
the light of this revelation, it is clear
that either Saratoga is dull or "the
temperance cause" has made marvel
GUS progress within the space of
twelve months. You can take your
choice. If there are 5000 visitors
here, then about 8, 900 of them must
be confined to their rooms, for they
are not seen at the springs, on
the hotel piazzas, on the streets,
In the stores, in Congress park,
in the churches, nor (ifthe bartender's
report is u representative one) in the
bar-rooms. The truth is Saratoga is
feeling the effect OF the depression and
losses in the business world during the
past twelve months. When the coun-
try Is prosperous Saratoga isprosper-

not be. Many who had little sur

Ing places and summer resorts, this
year find themselves scarcely able to
make ends meet. They cannot spend
money abroad and be honest at

the sun be moderated and the breezes
