HopefnI sion of CIviIlzation.

It. is a hopeful sign Of American eiviliza-
tion that never before IN the worlds history
were there so many men of wealth using
their wealth as a trust, not as a private pos
session. visited not long since one Of the
largest single coal mine owners in Pennsyl-
vania. he had built up in the wilderness a
village with 5000 population. No roof COW
cred more than two tenements; every tene-
ment had about it ground for garden plot
The day school was kept open ten months in
the year; evening schools afforded special
facilities for such as wished to pursue special
studies; a great hall furnished them
with opportunity for every kind Of
recreation, from a ball to a lecture; free
library and reading room gave m even
ing lounging place free from beer and to-
bacco; there was not a liquor shop in the
town; the ladies Of the mansion equipped
every year Christmas tree for the children
Of the village, dressing many out of the hum
dreds Of dolls with their own hands; but
what was best of all, the owner Of mine, and
land, and cottages lived in the midst Of
his wOrkingmen, and administered with his
own hands the estate which furnished the
1000 workingmen with employment, the
5000 villagers with bread, and homes, and
life. thought how it would have delighted
the heart Of grim old Carlyle to have visited

have found something to praise in fufh q

butterflies Going South.

Just row the butterflies are going to the
south. Millions of them may be seen flying
eastwardly. They come southwardly; strik-
ing the gulf they turn toward the east, in
order to reach Florida, 1t is said, but how
instinct guides the little winged travellers
thus is unexplained. They are generally a
bright yellow, and fly along, slipping now
and then from the honeycup Of some wild
flower. Great bands Of them may be seen,
like so many broad ribbons stretched in the
air. As we were returning from a wild
flower hunt they gathered upon the blossoms
which we held in our hands, and some Of
them were delayed on their eastward journey
by being carried even into the house. August
is the month for this golden travel, and in
early spring they return again.
But the beauty and health giving power Of
this section IS the blue Mexic gulf. The
cireling shore is such that the great light
house on Ship Island, twelve miles away,
seems to be in front Of every mans door.
Cat Island can be dimly seen, and the trees
Of Deer Island are visible even now through
the haze. The oyster schooners dot the
bright water and pleasure sail boats, yachts
and ketches are seen around. The waters
seem of different hues as the skies above are
Of different clouds.-Beauvoir Qfiss) Cor.

Excluding Rats from ships.

A Philadelphian has invented patent ap-
pliance for a hawser which is intended to
prevent rat from climbing up on a vessel.
The patent is an appliance, shaped like a
funnel, over which the varmints can neither
crawl nor climb. If this invention should
work it would make the patentee fortune;
but old sailors don't think that anything can
keep rats out, and they declare that if they
(the rats could not get on board ships any
other way they would swim out and crawl
up the slippery sides Of the boats. No one
appears to be able to say why the wharf rats
have taken such fancy to Philadelphia this
summer. Every vessel that comes into the
port brings swarm Of them here, but the
vessels which are outward bound have very
few OF these unwelcome passengers aboard

skeletons in iowa Mounds.

The people Of Floyd county, Ia, have often
speculated as to the contents Of a group Of
forty curious looking mounds on the farm OF
John Scrimger; but none Of them had eurios-
I ity enough to investigate until Professor
Webster took the work in hand on his own
account The Scrimger farm lies just north
Of the pretty village Of Charles City, and is
one Of the most beautiful sections Of the
state. On the eastern part Of the farm is a
/ long, low ridge, running directly north and
south, on top Of which arc the mounds,
some forty In number, about three feet in
height, and ranging from fifteen to
twenty-five feet in length Thus far
Professor Webster has opened fourteen
Of these mounds and found the skeletons OF
thirty people, he thinks of different race
from any Of the prehistoric remains yet un-
earthed in this country. Just how long the
ridge and mounds hive been there Mr.. Scrim-
ger can't say. Neither can the oldest set
tier, and neither can the Pottawatomie In
dian traditions which run back many CEN
turies. That both ridge and mounds were
built by human hands is plain from the
mathematical regularity with which they
are arranged, and the hardness Of the soil
composing them, which is packed firm, like a
stone, while that Of the virgin prairie in the
neighborhood is soft and yielding.
The skeletons found by Professor Webster
are in various stages of preservation, some
quite solid and others crumbling to dust, while
in ono mound there was nothing but bed Of
ashes. All the dead had been buried in a
doubled up position, the knees being crowded
on the lower jaw, and the head Of each care
fully laid toward the east. While the femur
bones show that most Of the skeletons are
those of people about 5 feet inches tall,
there are four the original owners of which
must have been fully 2 feet tall The skulls
are those Of a race Of very inferior beings.
The tops are abnormally thick and the from
tai bones slope abruptly back from the eyes,
while the lower jaws protrude forward so
that the under teeth come outside of the up
per ones. In general contour the skulls re-
semble those of the prehistoric mound build
ers found in Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin.
Most Of the skeletons found by Professor
Webster show marks Of fire, as if the flesh
had been burned from the bones before
burial. Another strange ching is the entire
absence of anything like personal trinkets, or
implements of war or of the chase, as arc
generally found in eastern mounds. The
bones of animals, showing that the friends Of
the deceased had celebrated their interment
with funeral feasts, are also missing. The
only thing thus far unearthed in the Iowa
mounds, aside from the skeletons, is lot OF
broken pottery of crude design and make, in.
cluding one nearly whole vase or urn Of
archaic workmanship, which Professor Web
Bter now has.-New York Sun.

..Endnrnb1e Lifen for chl1dren.

The London Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Children has, after several
years of careful study of the needs Of
street children, prepared bill for their
relief It makes it a penal offense to send
a child into the streets to beg, directly or
indirectly. That Is, no child must sing or
play or sweep crossings to attract char
ity, under IA years Of age. The principle
is that every child Shall have an endur-
able life" The old common law principle
that father owns his child is about
worn out. The state has stepped in to
interfere and act as a supreme protector.
The little victims, when they are done
for, after brief career of suffering to
support their parents, are to be found
Suffering and dying on floors Of attics
and cellars or in hospitals" The tale Of
beggar children is too terrible to be told.
1t Is murder of the worst sort. It is high
time law stepped In everywhere to pre-
vent the pauperizing of children and to
protect "even the children Of tramps. -

Proteetion from I.lrhtninr.

The London Society Of Arts has thoroughly
discussed the subject of protection from
lightning. The most thorough investigation
is summed up by Professor Lodge, in the
statement that for isolated chimneys and
steeples, as well as powder magazines, there
is no better protection than a number Of
lengths Of telegraph wires. A number Of
thin wires is better by far than single thick
one; and their capacity is increased by con-
Meeting upmetallic masses such as lead roofs;
'but do not connect with balconies and other
accessible places.n As to a roof, he would
run barbed wire all around the caves and
ridges, but he would run no rods up above
the highest points Of buildings, because there
by flashes are precipitated that would other
wise never occur. So it seems that our ordi-
nary lightning rods arc source Of danger
rather than Of protection. -Globe-D Democrat.

pnner pnln 60, cotton stn,,,s

Several samples Of pulp made from the
hulls and stalks Of the cotton plant have
lately been on view at Atlanta, Ga. The
pulp is as white as snow, and it is said that
It can be converted into the finest writing
paper. The hgneous substances Of the hull.
and stalks are removed by a new process
Fifty per cent Of the fibers are extracted
from the hull, which has hitherto been used
either for fuel in the mills or for fertilizing
purposes, and SO per cent. is obtained from
the stalks, which are generally allowed to rot
in the fields If the process proves success
full, the value Of these comparatively useless
products will be increased tenfold.-Once q

A COOL QUESTION.
The Roadmasters' Convention Discussing
Styles of Snow Plows.

The Roadmasters' Convention Discussing
Styles of Snow Plows.
The Roadmasters met again last night
and discussed the question of standard
track joints in it's various phases. This
seems to be veXed question among rail-
road mon, and they were unable to reach
any conclusion as to the proper method of
fastening the ends of rails together. The
matter was finally referred back this
morning to the committee, who are to
make % report at the next meeting.
| Members of the association throughout
| the country were requested to send to
the committee all information and statis-
tics they could as to the relative desira-
bility of long and short angle bars
President Craig called the associa-
tion to order at 9.3O this morning with
| the miniature spike maui that was pre-
| sented him at the last meeting. 1t
is an imitation in Walnut of the ham
| mers used in driving spikes that hold
the rails of railroad in place on the
| wooden ties.
| The committee on snow plOwS made
| their report. They favored the use OF
| the ordinary snow blows for light snow,
j and tht rotary steam blow for heavy
drifts. The report was adoDted and the
committee on hand cars called on foi
| report They asked more time. which
| this afternoon.
The report of S. l.. Sweeney and j. III.
Lindsey, the committee on cross-ties,
was submitted and an extended discus
sion followed The report made recon-
mendations as to the proper length,
thickness and width of crOss-tics, and
also the material of which they should
be made. There were a variety Of views,
and the questions were still open when
the association adjourned to 3 O'clock.
The proper distance between the ties was
also discussed, from railroad and not
pedestrian point of view. The usual
spacing at present is twenty-four inches,
which is very well adapted to walking,
and the association did not think any
change necessary.
At 80 o'clock the association went
to the White House and were received
by President Cleveland. Many of the
roadmasters here will have to go home
before the convention is over on account
of the havoc the swollen rivers in the
South are Dlaying with railroad tracks.
