Unerring marksmen. trained to shoot,

countries. One would almost say the boys
are born with guns in their hands, as the
youngest boy you find makes pistols,

other boys arc scarcely past the age Of

stories of the bravery of their ancestors, Of
how many Turks or other enemies they
have slain, and their play is to practice

baby hands, and their ambition to become
a man to fight as did their forefathers.-

u,bituaI Drunkards at Home.

Some interesting and curious statistics
have lust been published by Mr.. II.
Braithwaite, Of the home for inebriates
at TWickenham. According to these
tables. which form the record OF My
cases of inebriety treated since tie
autumn of 1885 TO the end of 1887, the
average age of the habitual drunkard,
who either places himself or is placed by
friends in the home, is about thIrty-nlne
wears, while the average time during
which the disease has grown before the
home is entered is 9Si years. Twenty

INSPECTIONS,
Tho Origin of Telegram"

IL seems incredible that it was only a
little over forty years ago that the tele-
graph was invented and put into prac-
teal Use. 1t may not be generally
known that The Albany Evening Jour
nal gave the word Telegram to the
world In its files Of April 6, 1852,
the following was printed, and from
this paragraph was derived the word
telegram, now found in every die
tionary:
\ friend desires US to give notice that
he will ask leave at some convenient
time to introduce q new word into the
vocabulary. The object Of this proposed
innovation is to avoid the necessity, now
existing Of using two words. for which
there IS very frequent occasion, where
one will answer. 1t Is telegram. instead
of telegraph dispatch, or telegraphic com
munication. The word is formed accord
ing 10 the strictest laws of the language
from which its root comes. Telegraph
means TO write from a distance. Iele-
gram, the writing itself, executed from a
distance. Monogram, logogram, etc,
are words framed upon the same analogy
and in good acceptation. Our friend,
moreover, says that the house line, II dis
posed to be precise, should call their COM
munications teletypes, as they are printed
not written. In generous spirit OF toll
Grafton, he proposes no action upon the
last suggestions: but as to everybody else,
excep, the employers and customers OF
the house line. he would have them
"held and firmly bound to speak, write,
print and telegraph telegram, instead OF
any two words signifying the same thing
under the penalty of being considered
verbose and tedious.-Albany Journal.

The hotel clerk finds many curious
people. If at some time there has been a
suicide in one of the rooms, the first duty
of the clerk is to see to it that the news.
paper reporter does not get the number OF
the room And if he should. the number
is changed at the hotel as quickly as pos
sible The reason for this is that the
average arrival who is posted on the sui
eide invariably asks the clerk what room
it occurred in. and follows the inquiry
with tho remark that he doesn't want
that room" There is hardly a first class
hotel in Chicago that hasn't had some sort

posed to know what room they occurred

DOES KENOSHA NEED ADVER.
Using?

Some of our neighboring cities are
making extra effort to advertise their
advantages, and invite various useful
trades and industries to locate in them.
Reasonable inducements will be offer.
ed for the encourag ement of manufac-
turing establishments, calculated to
give employment to working men,
thereby increasing the population and
wealth of the city. About forty differ.
ent trades and occupations in Milwau.
kee have joined in an association, in
which each class will have represen.
tative on the board of control. The
object is to advertise as wide as prac-
ticable the advantages which that
city offers for business enterprises of
all desirable kinds. With such asso-
ciated action large results are expected
to be reached. Such is an imperfect
outline of the plan.
An organization of this sort for Ke-
nosha, of course on a comparatively
small scale, entered into with a spirit
of liberality, might at no distant period
double the business and population of
this city. The right conduction of the
organization would cost something,
but the gain in the valuation Of proper.
ty would greatly exceed the probable
expenditure. The united action of all
the business interests of city, great
and small, can achieve vastly more
than an organization of a limited num-

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.

A stormy session of the next general
conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which meets in May next, is
predicted by some persons. The aues,
ton, for the first time in the history
of the church, on the admission of
women delegates as members of the
conference, will come up. Women
have not thus far been recognized in
the ecclesiastical bodies of the leading
evangelical churches. Methodist
women have always enjoyed large
liberty in speaking in the churches,
but have never participated in the
business matters of the General Con-
ference. Some distinguished Metho.
dist women have been elected dele
gates, and among them Miss Frances
Willard, of Chicago, one of the best
known women in this country. What
will be done in her case and others is
the question.

The statement heard that the public
high schools are more for the advantage
of the rich than for the benefit Of the
poor is not sustained by the facts. On
q review of the high school in this
city it is found that the sons and
daughters of families not favored by
wealth, who have been adyantaged by
the high school, far outnumber the
more wealthy families. The free high
school has been a great boon to many
boys and girls whose families were in
straitened circumstances, and who but
for the high school would never have
been fitted for the employment into
which they have found their way.
What is true here is also in all parts
of the state. The principal of the
Milwaukee Normal Schools says that
eighty per cent of the pupils in that
school are the sons and daughters of
workingmen.

PROPULSION OF FLORAL
BEAUTY,

Although Wisconsin has cold and
rigorous winters, ON proper occasions
it is capable of making a gorgeous dis
play of flowers. Easter Sunday was
one of these stated occasions in the
churches, when all to more or less ex-
tent had handsome floral ornamental
tiOns. A wOrshiper in church in this
city on Sunday last, forgetting for the
moment that it was the list of April
outside, might easily have been trans
ported in imagination to Florida or
California. Let the mercury drop to
itslOwest limit, the enterprising women
will find protection for flowers some
where, despite frost and cold.
