A Boy on a Farm.

It is my impression that farm without
 boy would soon come to grief. What a boy
 does is the life of the farm. He is the facto-
 tum always in demand, and always expected
 to do the thousand and one things that mo-
 body else will do. Upon him falls the odds
 and ends the most difficult things. After
 everybody else is through he is to finish up.
 His work is like a woman's, perpetually
 waiting on others. Everybody knows how
 much easier it is to cook good dinner than
 to wash the dishes afterward. Consider
 what boy on a farm is required to do,
 things that must be done, or life would
 actually stop. It is understood, in the first
 place, that he is to do all the errands, to go
 to the store, to the postoffice and to carry
 all sorta of messages. If he had as many legs as tho centipede they would tire before night.
 He is the one who spreads the grass as the men cut it; he slows it away in the barn; he rides the horse to cultivate the corn up and down the hot, weary rows; he picks up the potatoes when they are dug; he brings wood and water and splits kindling; he gets up the horse and turns out the horse Whether he is in the house or out of the house, there is al- ways something to do Just before school in the winter he shovels paths; in the summer he turns the grindstone And yet, with his mind full of schemes of what he would like | to do, and his hands full of occupation, he is an idle boy who has nothing to busy himself | with but schools and chores. He would gladly do all the work if somebody else would l iio ali the chores, he thinks; and yet, doubt if any boy ever amounted to anything in the l world. or was of much use as . man, who did not enjoy the advantages of . liberal educa- tion in the way dt Sss*sa-C6xsh DpDy

Jay Gould's Sister.

The mild looking, rather petite, but digni- lied, woman just passing must have been quite pretty in her youth, though she never probably could have been called handsome. There is a certain something, however, about her-a sweetness in her looks and manner that IS more charming in a woman of her years than any remains of physical beauty would be- She is very simply attired in black. and black bonnet modestly covers her silvery gray hair.
 Who is she
 She is Jay Gould's sister. She has come over from her home in Camden-a quiet little town across the river-to do some shop ping, probably. One often meets her in the busy streets, but as her identity is known to few, she escapes the ogling and comment that she would otherwise be subjected to. She is l not rich by any means. Indeed aside from 1 moderate allowance that the speculating Croesus makes her, she derives her living from school for girls that her daughters con- duct. The school it is said, is an excellent one, and Gould like gets the cream of the busi- ness in south Jersey.
 The school house was erec33ed at Jay Gould's expense. Jay knew shat his sister had not married well from a financial point of view, and that her daughters were struggling for a | living, but he was too busy piling up his millions to give the matter much personal attention. But his wife had her eye on the | girls, and she was so pleased with their earn estness that she brought the matter to the attention of her husband, and insisted on his building the girls school Gould did not object, and, now that his attention was directed to the matter, he gave orders that no expense saould be spared in making the building model one in every respect. He himself takes as much pride in it and in the success of the nieces as any one whenever he permits himself the luxury of five minutes thought on a subject SO far removed from stocks and bonds.-Philadelphia Ger.

CHAPTER VIII.

The next day but one Lucien went to the Vile d'Avray, and took Q carriage from the station to Rogers house. There he found everything in confusion and trouble, for uenriette had disappeared, and there were none who did not believe her dead.
 "This is awful" said Lucien, when he had heard all there was to tell
 Suzanne seemed to be on the verge of violent fever, and the doctor was there trying to avoid such an event, for Suzanne was so delicate that there were little hopes that she could live through any illness.
 Lucien had hoped to discover something that might help to clear away the shadows now gathering so darklv around Roger. But he was too late. Before he left the old Uncle Bernardit said to him:
 "You are Rogers lawyer, are you nota"
 "His lawyer and his friend" -
 "What do you think of this sad affair.""
 aIn which capacity do you want my opin- ionas
 "Both."
 "Well. then, as friend, I am sure Roger is ;he innocent victim of some fatality. eAs lawyer. am convinced that he will be Q '. denned."
 .aWhen shall yo1 see him7'
 sTo-merrow. Must then tell him of this new afaiction?"
 "Yes, and tell him that whatever happens, we, my wife and l, will be to his little daugh- ter true and tender parents, and that we will take has to our home, where she may forget, in tims. all this sad trouble. We shall stay here as long as there is hope that poor Hen- riette's body may be found, and then we will | go home I will take charge of Rogers fac tory, and manage it for him until this is all settled; and if the worst should come the pro. ceeds will be for Suzanne. Tell him he will find me at Rue Saint Maur or at my home as long as live" ts aaYou are good and noble man, M Bernhfdit,b 7 said Lusfen.

POPULATION OF THE WORLD.
Estimated at s.,arly 1,5OO. .00o, COOP
 fessor T,evasseur,s Figures

Estimated at S.,arly 1,5OO. .00o, CSO-Pro-
 lessor Levasseur's Figures.
 Professor Levasseur, the eminent stat istician, estimates the population of the world at ], ,4S3 900 900. He has faith in the sub stantial accuracy of the recent estimates of the population of China and Japan, based upon the latest official reports. There has been considerable controversy with regard to the population of these countries, and the opinion of Sir R. Alcock, Sir Rawson Raw son and other statisticians that China con- tains about 4OO,OO0,OOO people will derive considerable weight from the fact that Pro- lessor Levasseur has reached the same con- clusion. The statisticians who do not think the Chinese estimates are far from correct, base their opinions upon comparison of the Chinese census returns of the last and the present centuries and upon the ratio of popu- lation to area in other countries.
 Those persons who imagine that the con- ditions of savage life are unfavorable to density of population may be surprised to learn that the latest estimates give Africa a population of 16 and North America only S.S to the square mile. While our continent is known to have only about sO,OOO, 900 people, the population of Africa, according to Pro lessor Levasseur, approximates 1Y7, ,000 ,0OO The results of this comparison are not very surprising when Uno IaCC IS borne 1n mlnd that Africa is nearly one-third larger than this continent, and that while about a third part of North America is almost uninhabitable, no considerable part of Africa lacks popula- tion. Even the Sahara has many thousands of inhabitants and the density of population in large areas of equatorial Africa surpasses anything known until quite recently among savage peoples.
 One reason why Africa has absorbed so much of the exploratory zeal of civilized na- tions while South America has been com paratively neglected, may doubtless be found in the fact that Africa far su1passes our southern sister in population, and in her great undeveloped districts offers far larger inducements to commerce than similar re- gions in South America. While Africa con. tributes over 13 per cent. of the population of the world, South America supplies only a little over 9 per cent, and the density of population in the dark continent is over three times that in South America.
 | While the contribution of Europe to the land surface of the globe is less than one-halt as great as that of North America, her popu lation is over four times as numerous.-New York Sun

ARABEsoUE.
Eyes-whose every glance is such feel it. like a velvet touch;

Eyes--whose every glance is such feel it. like velvet touch; Eyes that all my comfort slay- Yet grieve me when they turn away; Eyes that flicker without fire; That look and burn, without desire; That seem to darken while they beam, And dart shadow with each gleam. Eyes that smolder while they sleep. And glow like planets, when they peep From an unfathomable deep.
 Eyes that wound for pleasures sake; That languish when they triumph take, And slumber most when most awake. Eyes that blur and blind my sight; That see my pain-that know my plight, Oh, thrill me. kill me with delight, Ye dark moons in silver night. Charles Warren Stoddard in Overland Month";

Colorado's Magic Stone.

The hydrophone or magic stono lately found in Colorado has the curious property of changing from thick whiteness to perfect transparency under water; hence it Is pur- posed to use it in rings, lockets and other sen- timental souvenirs, to mask a flower, lock of hair or photograph, which can be made visi- ble at the owners pleasure, though hidden se- curely from prying eyes.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

tnunderous reverberations through his brain, deadening every other sound.
 But suddenly that tide of impassioned words was checked and then resumed feebly:
 q charge you, men of the jury, to remem- Der that Roger Laroque is innocent. I know l. swear 1t, but cannot divulge his secret"
 And with the last word Lucien fell into the arms of those nearest him, and when the doc tor reached him he said: "He is dead; he has ruptured blood vessel in his brain"
 Roger tried to reach him. but he was held firmly in his seat, and when they told him Lucien was dead he burst into an agony of sobs, which he vainly tried to stile He alone knew what had been Lucien's death blow, and he felt himself condemned of God and man. Already two deaths upon his con- science, Henriette's and Lucien's. He wished to die that he might expiate his sin.
 When the president asked him if he had anything to add, he said, in a sonorous voice:
 "I am guilty Condemn me-"
 But his measure of sufferings was not yet full And when the jury, after short con- sultation, returned, they gave in their verdict:
 'Guilty, but with extenuating circum- stances" . So he could not even die. He was con- demned to the galleys for life. Thus he must expiate his wrong, and he was led away, his head bowed, and his face that of an old broken down man.

 Lucien went on to Versailles, and said to Roger:

 NO, but it is feared, and with, alas! only too much reason, that poor Henriette has tno"n herself into the river in a fit of mental aDer- ration.n
 Rogers knees bent under him, and he sank to the floor. But he had potstrength enough face. Ut is better SO, better so. Oh, my poor Henriette. my poor broken ilyP
 Lucien visited Roger several times before the day of trial He wished to overcome that strange obstinacy, but in spite of every argument and prayer that he should tell him under the veil of secrecy, he could get no word on that subject from Roger.
 "Let my destiny be accomplished"
 The day of the trial came, and Roger learned that they were going to bring Su- game again to testify. This was the last drop in his already brimming cup, and he sat indifferent and apparently the least inter- ested of all there present as the mass of testi- mony was given.
 Lucien entered the court room painfully, sustained by brother lawyer, and he went direct to Roger and embraced him with warmth and genuine affection. The specta- cle went straight to the hearts of the specta- tors.
 When the order was given to bring in the daughter of the accused there was mufmur of disapprobation, and one woman-perhaps a mother-cried aloud:
 "This is not right. Thou shalt not seethe 6 kid in it's mothers milk You have no right to make this child condemn her father"
 "Silence in court!" cried the judge, Cor shall clear the hall"
 The "president of the tribunal" or chiel magistrate of the court of assizes, ordered that the child be brought to him.

Several papers in the State have
enquired why the Sentinel does not
keep on denouncing the tar bucket
fends of Eureka. The Seminal
replies:
In answer, We have only to say
that the Sentinel did its duty in de-
nouncing the Paroni outrage in fit
ting terms. The duty of bringing
the perpetrators Of the outrage to
justice belongs to the officers OF the
law. We are informed that the Of
ficers are collecting all of the evil
dence possible; in other words,
"working up the case" in order TO
prosecute the guilty parties. This
IS the course usually pursued in
Virginia, Austin and elsewhere, we
believe. We therefore beg our

prise to possess their souls in pa

The "cheap clothing" argument
has come to nothing In the hands
OF the free traders. They have dis.
covered that clothing is not so very
dear, after all, in the United States
The finer grades of cloth are high
in this country compared with
what they are in England. A $50
suit here could be bought for $25
in London. But working men are
not wearing $50 suits, and would
not if they could. The cheaper
grades of woolens are as cheap in
America as in England itself.
"Home competitor" says the New
York Press, "has enabled us to
manufacture wearable and respect
able suits of clothing as low as $3T
and good Atwood worsted suits
from $71I to $1O." No better suit
than the former could be got
in London for fourteen shIllings,
and the Sos. or the 90 English suit
would not show any advantage be-
side the $71S or the $40 suit OF New
York or San Francisco.
The free trade journals in this
city who have howled about the
"ninety per cent. tax on the la
horer's clothing" can turn to their
advertising columns and find call
wool worsted suits" ofTere! for
$3.50, and blankets from 81 and
$3.50 up. They could not be i'm
ported duty free for less. But free
trade could succeed in cutting the
lahorer's wages in half without any
difficulty at all.

The present year is the fifth veal

and there will be but five more
wears IN which such q combination
is possible prior to the year Of
2599. Probably few have ever
heard OF the old prophecy, which
reads as follows:
In every future year of our Lord
When the sum Of the figures is
twenty-five,
Some warlike kingdom will draw
the sword,
But peaceful nations in piece
shall thrive.
Students OF modern history will
readily recall how faithfully this
prophesy has been fulfilled in the
four previous years to which it APP
piled.
In 1899 Russia, Denmark and
Poland formed the coalition against
Sweden which inaugurated the
great war that ended in the dis
astrous defeat of Charles XII at
Pultowa.
The year17S9 will ever be memoir
able on account, of the breaking out
of the French Revolution.
The year 1898 witnessed the
campaign Of Bonaparte in Egypt
and the second European coalition
against France.
1879 war broke out between Eng
land and Afghanistan, followed by
the invasion of the latter country
by British troops.
In what manner the prediction is
to be verified in 1888 remains yet
TO be seen, but the present condi-
ton of Europe seems to promise an
fulfillment of the the pro-

The Comstock.

| Speculation in Comstock share!
is not as alluring as in former days
Tie fluctuations have not beer
great for some time past. The
stock operating public. however,
doesn't care fig for merit if the
stock market will only move. Peo-
pie who deal in stocks want them to
go up and down. They are salts
fed to take their chances if the big
manipulators will only make deals.
They are willing that the eaid
manipulators may look at both
hands. They never stop to think
that the business of the big San
Francisco manipulation is but few
removes above that of the profess
sional pickpocket. There was a
time when there were two parties
in the field and two sides to the
market-the long and the short.
But that day has past. The mar
ket has been what the Bonanza
crowd desired it to be since the
death of Sharon. There has been
no one of late to dispute their
supremacy. They have things all
theirow,, way. Mackay had his collar
bone cracked in the wheat deal.
Jim Fair is at the helm. Fair has
no game in him as an operator. He
is not thoroughbred in anything
that means chances. 1t is his pol
icy to draw in the money of the
public IN the pretty, slow, bat sure
way. The brilliant deeds of Raj
ston and Sharon need never be
looked for under present conditions.
And yet the Comstock as a whole
is looking quite as we'll, even bet
ter, than at any time in the last |
twelve months. Con. Virginia,
Savage, Hale & Norcross, Potosi |
and Crown Point and Belcher are
all producing good ore in vast
quantities. There is ample merit |
for lively stock market at greatly |
prices. But people are be-
to despair of itscoming. lis
now the general belief that there may
be one more little squirt and then
he whole business settle down in a
milling proposition, without elias
