READING FOR THE YOUNG,
JoHNNY-JuMP-uP.

Once there was little hoy
Whom it strangely did annoy
To have people always say,
Full a hundred times day:
Johnny, Johnny, jump up, do,
And find this, or that, won't your
Oh. it vexed his very soul,
And filled his heart with dole.
That his ears they'd always prick
With Johnny. Johnny, jump up quick"
"Oh, WISH" he rashly said,
THAT could lie still in bed.'
But when he next heard folks say:
Johnny, Johnny, jump up, pray"
To his great surprise he found
Both feet rooted in the ground
Yes. tits true, that he was planted
Mid the flowers, with face all slanted;
And his legs had grown as thin
AS the very slimmest pin.
Only bright, laughing face
Had been left him as grace;
But never can he run when they
Call johnny, Johnny, jump up, pray"
And so I'm sorry. are not you,
For the little boy in blue?

TEST OF CIVILIZATION.
An Instance of the Superiority of Chris
tan to Classic Life.

An Instance of the Superiority of Chris
tian to Classic Life.
The civilized man is distinguished
from the savage in nothing more than
in the cultivation of his sympathies.
In barbarous countries men learn to
endure the actual sight of cruelty and
suffering that in a more advanced So
ciety would arouse storm of sympathy
for the sufferers and Indignation
against those by whom the sufferings
were inflicted. 1t is one of the strongest
tian to classic civilization that the cruel
sports in which the most refined of
Roman men and women took delight
are impossible in modern times, and
that the countries in which these sports
survive are rated lower in civilization
on that account than the countries from
which they have been banished. The
Punishment is nowhere quite complete.
but the advance is steady and constant.
We are on the way to the establishment
of the ideal condition of the poet in
which it shall be the rule of human life
Never to blend our pleasure or our pride
With sorrow OF the meanest thing that feels.
We have so nearly attained it that the
actual sight of protracted suffering is
avoided by all civilized people. But
there is long step from this condi-
ton to one in which the thought of
unseen human suffering is intolerable.
A much higher refinement is needed
to evoke sympathy and aid for distant
and unknown victims. Even the most
advanced nations have still great
step to make before the brotherhood
of man is recognized in them as a
practical fact, and before family in
India or in China excites the same
emotions as a story of starvation in
the next street. But here also prog
ress is steadily making Already the
solidarity" of Western Europe and
America-of what we may still call
Christendom-is a great social force,
and the sympathy that comes from it
does not fail to be translated into help
full action whenever a disaster occurs,
the results of which are plainly be-
yond the power of relief of those who
in a more restricted and less Scriptural
sense are the neighbors of the victims

SPEED OF GAME-BIRDs.
What an Old Sportsman Related to an III
QuiAitiYe Raporter.

What an Old Sportsman Related to an In
quisitive Reporter.
II have held my watch on several
kinds OF ducks and geese, but the main
part of what / am going to tell you
comes from several old hunters who
have favored me with their experience,
and one of these old-timers in letter
says: 1 can tell you just about to the
sixty-third part of dot how much
space any one of them can get over in
an hour. There is not railroad train
that can hold candle to the side OF
the slowest duck that flies.'
The canvas-back can distance the
whole duck family, if it lays itself out
to do it. When this duck is taking
things easy, enjoying little run around
the block, as it were, it goes through
the air at the rate of abuut eighty
miles an hour. If it has business
somewhere and has to get there. it
puts two miles back of it every minute.
and does it easily. If you don't be-
lieve this, just fire square at the leader
in string of canvas-backs that are out
on business cruise some time. Duck
shot travels pretty fast, but if you hap
pen to hit one. you see if it is not the
fifth or sixth one back of the drake or
leader. A drake does not always lead,
but it generally does if there is one in
the flock; if there are more they will
seldom take the lead. If you wish to
bring down the leader you must aim
at space of at least eight feet ahead
of him, and if he falls you will find
him a long distance, probably two or
three squares off.
The mallard is slow one; it is all
he can do to make a mile minute,
but he can do it if he wants to. His
regular rate is about forty-five miles
an hour.
1.-The black duck is a slow coach.
He is about as good as the mallard,
and the fintail widgeon and wood duck
can not do much better. The red head
can go easily, and make ninety miles
an hour as long as he likes, all day if
necessary. The blue-winged teal, and
its beautiful cousin, the green-winged
teal, can fly side by side for one hun
dred miles in an hour and take it easy.
The gadwale. you see them here
very seldom, though we'll known
further West on the Allegheny river
and at Kishammock, though looking
like the mallard is a smarter duck and
harder to shoot. 1t can make ninety
miles in an hour and not try hard.
May be you may think a goose can't
fly. Why, it can double the speed of
the fastest trains on any of our rail-
roads Of course mean wild goose.
Well, it has a big corporation, but it
can get from feeding ground to feeding
ground so suddenly that it fools our
best wing shots.
IF you see flock of honkers NOV
ing along so high up that they seem to
be scraping the sky with their backs,
you would not think that they are
making close on a hundred miles an
hour, but they are. The wild goose is
not much on foot, but it means bust
ness every time.
The broad-bill goose comes next to
the canvas back duck in speed. Put
the two together and in an hour the
broad-bill would not be more than ten
miles behind. Wilmington OeL)

The very height OF strawberry-eat-

tasted coffee who has not drunk it in
alternate mouthfuls with strawberries,
and nobody knows the strawberry

there is strange ignorance of this spe-

that the act of death takes place with

HELENA, Mont, July 24.-In the Con.

committee to which the question was
referred reported that the treatment of
gambling must be left to the Legislature.
The section providing for convict labor
was further debated, and finally rejected
80 to 20. The preamble was further de-
bated. Several members were opposed
to the mention of God or religion in the
constitution, and the preamble was fin.
ally adopted as previously reported.
