A London Public School,

One of the miserable districts of Lon
don is to be found in Somers Town.
Blocks of Improved Dwellings" and
sundry measures taken by the parish au-
thorities have recently reformed it to
considerable extent. Yet it remains
haunt of poverty. The petty tradesman
is the aristocrat of the neighborhood.
The police in its streets are all picked
men. The swells who go stunning"
through it, according to the fashion of
the season, are looked at by the patient
eyed poor with the same wonderment
that butterflies in its alleys would create.
In the midst of this sordid district
stands handsome new Board School.
II is as large as an average fortress of an
cicnt times. Its bounding walls contain
a space of two acres. Within the intri-
cacies of the play grounds and covered
courts and grouudhoor passages the visit
or becomes bewildered. 1t reaches a
height of many stories. And here, every
day 2, 200 poor children arc being endow-
ed with the inestimable benefit of a
sound education. 1t is indeed quite a
town in itself, filled with Lilliputisns,
who can exhibit at times remarkable free
dom of speech and action Their parents
chiefly come under the following catego-
ries: laborers, 3j5; cabmen, o.; coalmen,

catcd by the single fact that. out Of their

The School Of Patience.

My dear boy, if man can only cult,
vate patience and strength, it seems to me
he will be a good ncighbor, a pleasant
man to do business with, a safe man to
trust and the kind of man the world
loves, even though he lack wisdom, and
hath no genius, and can't tell good
story or sing a note. How much does the
fretful, restless, hurrying old world owe
to the patient man, who finds his strength
Sin quietncss and confidence" who can
be patient with our faults, our fancies,
our wickcdncss; who can be quiet when
the Softcst word would have sting; who
can wait for storms to blow over and fol
wrongs to right themselves; who can
patiently and sicutly endure a slight un-
til he has forgotten it, and who can even
be patient with himself. That's the fel-
low, my boy, who tries my patience and
strength more than any man else with
whom have to deal. l could get along
with the rest of the world well enough,
if he were only out of it. l can meet all
my other cares and enemies bravcly and
chccrfully enough. But when myself
comes to me with his heart aches and
blunders and stumblings, with his own
follies and troubles and sins, somehow he
takes all the tuck out of me- My strength
is weakness and my patience is folly,
when come to deal with him. He tires
me. He is such fool. He makes the
same stupid blundcr in the same stupid
way so many times. Sometimes, when
think | must put up with him and his
ways all my life l want to give up. And
then the next time he comes to me with
his cares and the same old trouble he
seems so helpless and penitcnt that feel
sorry for him, and try to bic patient with
him, and promise to help him all can,
once more. All, my dear boy, as you
grow older, that is the fellow who will
try you and torment you, and draw on
your sympathy, and tax your patience
and strength. BE patient with him, poor
fellow, because think he does love you,
and yet as rule you are harder on him
than any one else. .-Burdette in Brooklyn

The Impossible.

Man cannot draw water from an empty well
Nor trace the stories that gossips tell,
Nor gather the sounds Of a pealing bell
Man never can stop the pillows roar,
Nor change the winds till they blow no more
Nor drive true love from maiden's door.
Man cannot o'ertake neeting lie,
Change his wheat to field of rye,
Nor call back years that have long gone by
Man cannot a cruel word recall,
Fetter thought, be it great or small,
Nor honey extract from drop of gall.
Man never can bribe old Father Time,
Gain the peak that he cannot climb,
Nor trust the hand that hath done crimo.
Man never can backward turn the tide,
Nor count the stars that are scattered wide,
Nor find in a fool trusty guide.
Man cannot reap fruit from worthless seed,
Rely for strength on broken reed,
Nor gain heart he hath caused to bleed.
Man never can hope true peace to win,
Pleasure without and joy within,
Living thoughtless life of sin.

Bill Nye on llalOs.

James the halo which you say you
see in so many pictures is not worn at the
present time anywhere, especially in
this climate. In the early history of the
world people went barchcaded, then they
began to wear the halo, and after that
gradually adopted the laurel wreath, aud
later on the plug hat.
People seem to have grown less and
less robust as the country grew older and
civilization advanced farther and farther
A chcrub would fly for days with pair
of light summer wings and never feel the
cold, but gradually people began to
leave their measure for clothes, and then
the next jump was chest protectors and
fur ovcrcoats. It's all habit and yet a
man who would attend winter
carnival at St. Paul wearing nothing but
an old-fashioncd halo with hole in it
would attract attention.

The Bull.

Unlike the mule, the bull seals his dec
laration OF war with the front end Of his
body. And while the mule is satisfied
with an attitude of calm and philosoph-
ical belligercncy, the bull nearly fright
ems his victim to death with unseemly
demonstrations of wrath before finally
tossing him into the great beyond. The
heels of the mule may be the favorite re-
sort of the uncertainty of life, but on the
forefront of the bull sits nightmare of
rampageous fury that is worse than death.
Twas once chased over a ten acre lot
by an angry bull, and l know whereof I
speak. The day of doom will not be a
fragment Of last years circumstance to
what l experienced on that occasion. He
cued me, as billiard player would say.
while yet | fingered half way through the
fence, and thought the end of all things
had come, especially the front end Of the
bull. And to all intents and purporscs
the final cataclysm had, indeed, broken
loose. The fence tumbled down upon
me like, and the beautiful, bucolic land
scape was lacerated beyond recognition.
To add to my misery, some one struck
me with the butt-end of brick house,
and jammed church steeple through my
left leg. And as if l had not achieved
enough glory for one day, the horizon
was rent in twain, the blue vault of heav-
en- collapsed, and big fragment Of the
sky fell on the small of my back.
My friends afterward tried to convince
me that all this was figment of my agi-
tated imagination. They cruelty secuted
the idea that was punctured by church
stecple, and substituted therefor an ordi-
nary 'way-down- on the -Suwannee- River
horn. They even went so far as to insin-
uate that the landscape was not much
hurt, and that it was only the demolition
of my two-dollar- and -a-half pantaloons
that made me think the graves were Civ
ing up their dead. But l carry with INC
| down this vale OF tears a gamo leg and a
twisted spine as proof of my assertions.

Andrew j. Caldwell, member of con-
rrcss from Tennessee, is the persistent
advocate of all measures to establish
better signal service facilities throughout
the United States. He introduced the
recent bill in congress to appropriate
$500, 900 to establish farm signals to warn
the people of the approach of billiards
and tornadocs. He was in New York a
short time since to deliver an address to
the American Agricultural Society on the
subject of signal service. In speaking of
the great good in the way of saving mil
lions of dollars in property by proper
signals forwarning the people, he laid
great stress upon the fact that the negroes
who, as a rule, couldn't read and write,
would inevitably see the signals and
know how to interpret them. 'Why, of
all telcgraphic service in neighborhood
the negroes as messengers, beat the whites.
They are always roaming about, visiting
their kinspeople OF some other friends,
hence they cannot fail to observe the
storm signals. They will soon learn the
different colored flags, even if they are
not able to read. l mention this fact be-
cause some might suppose that signals to
forewarn farmers in the south would be
rather useless, as the negroes couldn't tel
what they meant. When first intro
duced bill for the extension of thu
signal service, l made the amount to b.
appropriated only s25O,00O The bill
never could get to the Appropriation
Committee. Last year the farmers helt
a congress out west and asked me t.
raise the amount to $500, 600, which
did in a new bill this session. As til,
farmers comprise about GO per cent. o
the wealth of the country, | don't sc
why any objection could be made to tn

A young lady in an eastern city, who
was reared in luxury, but whose circum-
stances were sadly changed by the
bankruptcy and death of her father,
has been making living of late by do
ing mcnding in various families of her
acquaintance. Like many other girls
accustomed to idlencss and wealth, she
had smattcring of many things, but
was not proficient enough in any par
ticular line to make living. At length
it occurred to her that she could mend
clothing, darn stockings, and do odd
jobs of that kind, and on applying for
work found that there was plenty of it to
do. She now has all the customers that
she can attend to, and is making great
success in her chosen industry. Other
young women who have found the oc-
cupations that they have felt themselves
fitted for overcrowded, OR who have
been unable to turn their hands to an
business requiring preparation on their
part, may find in this girls experience
suggestion that will be worth something

Ancient Writing Material.

When the Prophet Ezekiel was COM
manded to write about the city of Jeru
salem, he was compelled to write his ac'
count on smooth tiles, and we find frag
mcnts of such tiles to this day. The
heaps Of broken pots and crockery of all
sorts, which are now so abundant in all
Eastern towns, prove that bits OF smooth
stone or tiles were constantly used fol
this purpose. The Island of Elephantine,
on the Nile, is said to'havc furnished
more than hundred such specimens.
.0ne of these is soldiers leave of alb
'sehse, scribblcd on a fragment of an old
vase. How little those scribcs and ac.
countants imagined the interest with
which their descendants would one day
treasure their rough notes! Still quaint
er were the writing materials of those an
cient Arabs who, before the time OF
Mohammcd, used to carve their annals
on the shouldcr-bladcs of sheep. The
'shccp- p-chronicles" were strung together,
and thus preserved. After awhile Sleeps
bones were replaced by sleeps skin, and
the manufacture of parchment was
brought to such perfection as to place it
among the refnements of art. We hear
of vellums that were tinted yellow, Others
white. Others were dyed of rich pur
pie; and the writing thereon was in gold
en- ink, with gold borders and many
colored decorations. These precious
manuscripts were anointed with the oil of
cedar to preserve them from moths. We
hear of one such in which the name of
Mohammed is adorned with garlands of
tulips and carnations painted in vivcd
colors. Still more precious was the silky
paper of the Persians, powdered with
gold and silver dust, whcreon were
painted rare illuminatons; while the
book was perfumed with after of roses or
essence of sandalwood. OF the demand
for writing materials, one may form some
faint notion from the vast manuscript
libraries of which records have been pre-
served, as having been collected by the
Caliphs both of the East and the West,
the former in Bagdad, the latter in An
dalusia, where there were eighty great
public libraries, besides that vast one at
Cordova. We also hear of private libra
ries, such as that of physician who de-
clined an invitation from the Sultan of
Bokhara, because the carriage of his
books would have required 400 camels,

ADacne Characteristics,

of Chiricahuas numbering eleven killed

riors as prowlcrs in war probably never
existed. The army officers in Arizona
declare that the Apachcs are the ideal
scouts of the whole world, with their
hawk eyes, stcalthy motion and sensitive
cars. Though understood, they have
broad, deep chests, muscular limbs, and
small, wiry hands and feet. They march
about four miles an hour, haltlng after
few hours tramp long enough to smoke
cigarettes. If no matches are at hand
they bring fire in from eight to forty five
seconds by rapidly twirling between the
palms a hard, round stick fitted into a
circular hole in another stick of softer
fiber. They will march forty miles a
day on foot across dry plains and precip-
itous mountains regardless Of the fiercest
heat The Apache finds food where the
