Figures by Lewiston Scholars ON m Inter-
esting Question Of Economy
Lewiston Journal!
In the interest of economy and to incul-
cate the idea of prudence, Superintendent
Stuart, of the city schools, gave the Gram
mar school pupils in Lewiston, recently, the
following question:
Suppose each pupil in each room should
save 10 cents day, depositing the amount
every six months for ten years, what would
be the accumulated sum in ten years, also
what would be the accumulated sum in 90
years?"
The answer has been sent in and the re-
suit shows sum more than enough to buy
one-half the city of Lewiston.
The figures are: Amount in ten years,
each pupil (s18 % semi-annually), S490 s0;
amount leach pupil, in 80 years. 81 ,O62 90.
The Grammar school would save in ten
years S246, ,561 4, and in 30 years s5,574,-
7O8 76.
Taking the number of pupils attending
public schools according to the census of
1888, the ten-year amount would be s., ,3S7, :
756 Ga, and in 30 years would be $50, 2S4,
205 rs.
According to the census of 1888, the pu-
pills between and 21 would save in ten
years So, 325, ,266 IS, and in 80 years $75, ,153,-
280 80.

How the Wife ofa wit Proposed TO Pay for
Trip.


Trip.
Youths Companion.i
The wife of wit has often as hard time
as the wife of a philosopher. IT is an old
story about the wife of Emerson enduring
the sight of her husband breaking the teeth
out of hes back-comb, thinking, absent
mindedly, that they were matches which he
was presently to light; but it is quite a
new story-that of a famous modern hu-
morist who really gets great many of his
best and funniest ideas from his wife.
"We live from mouth to hand instead of
from hand to mouth" said he, in telling
the story. "Her mouth utters the words Of
nonsense, and my hand writes them down.
Sometimes she rebels at my receiving the
checks in payment of her jokes, though
promptly turn most of them over to her,
and she wouldn't sign her own name to one
of the jokes for farm.
"WeIl, one time was going on little
Southern trip, and she took notion she
wanted to go along. We had just been
paying for new earriage-house, and there
wasn't enough ready money in the family
exchequer to take us both
"If you go shall have to stay at home,
said I, trying to reason with her.
No. no, said she. I'll make jokes
enough TO pay all our current expenses.
I'll get up early every morning, and joke
Just as hard as can for Is or 20 minutes
before breakfast.

SOFTER THAN EATING.

More People Are Choked to Death Than
Are Killed on the Railways.
Chambers Journal.l
In 1882 the Chairman of the London and
Northwestern stated that there had not
been a single passenger killed on their line
within the previous three years. Sir John
Hawkshaw, speaking of safety on railways
generally, said "that only one passenger
was injured for every 1000, 900 of miles
travelled; and on an average a person may
travel loo, 900 miles each year for 40 years
and the chances are in favor of not receiv-
ing the slightest injury" Again, Sir E.
Watkin maintained that railway travel
ing was safer than eating, because it is 9
fact that more people choke themselves in
England than are killed on all the railways
in the United Kingdom"

WALT WHITMAN IN NEED.
The Good Gray Poet Quietly Celebrates
His Seventieth Birthday.

The Good Gray Poet Quietly Celebrates
His Seventeen Birthday.
. CAMDEN. N. j., May 31.-Walt Whit
man celebrated the SEVENTEEN anniversary
of his birth to-day. A dinner in honor Of
the day was served in Morgan's Hall. The
poet was unable to attend, but not less than
200 of his friends and admirers graced the
occasion. The committee having the dinner
in charge announced that "Walt Whitman
is now so well recognized as poet that such
an occasion for doing him honor, and at the
same time conferring substantial benefit
upon him, is likely to be eagerly seized by
those who know his merits and his needs. I"
This means that the poet, who has many
friends, both In America and Europe, needs
help in his rapidly declining years and
needs 1t now. For considerably over year
the old gentleman has been confined to his
room and bed, but always has kind well
come for all who call, and they are not few.
To all such ne appears happy and resigned
in spite Of his infrmities. Only hopeful,
CHEEKY words escape him, and thus he awaits
the coming OF the final messenger.

FI WAYNE, May a.-The' vigorous
policy adopted BY Mayor Harding In en-
forcing the Sunday law and the IL o'clock
saloon law has commenced to bear political
fruit. The Council, which isalmost solidly
Democratic, met last night for the purpose
offxing salaries for the ensuing year. The
Mayors salary, heretofore, has been s, 700,
together with numberless fees, making the
total revenue derived from the Office about
$1,000. The Council last night fixed his
salary at $500, but took away all fees,
which hereafter must be paid into the city
treasury.
The fees ofpolicemen and police officers
were also made payable into the treasury.
The Druggists, Association has split upon
the rock Of Sunday closing, and part Of
them viii next Sunday defy the Mayors
order, and will keep open house all day.
The Mayor says that all persons vio-
lating his order regarding drug
stores must suffer the consequences,
but that. other persons fol-
lowing their usual avocations on the Sab
bath will not be molested. This dictatorial
proceeding on the part Of the Mayor is not
much relished, and it is not unlikely that
test cases will be made next Sunday.
Since the Mayor included in his proclama-
ton all drinking places within two miles
OF the city, the Centlivre brewery, q
pleasure resort just outside the city limits,
has been closed each Sunday. The brewery
Is situated on the st Joe river, only few
rods above what is known as the Rudisill
dam. Several hundred boats are owned by
the brewery, and are literally patronized
by pleasure-seekers from the city, on week
days as well as Sundays.
Some time since the Centlivres built q
street-car line from the brewery to the CEN
ter OF the city. This line the Citizens
Street Railway Company is, and has been,
quite anxious to buy, but the Centlivres
refuse TO sell except at figure twice the
actual value Of the property. It SO hap
pens, however, that John H. Bass. the Pres
ident of the street railway company, is
also President Of company which owns
the Rudisill dam and contingent water
privileges. Accordingly, the water has
been let out of the dam, and in consequences
Messrs. Centlivre's boats are left high and
dry, and very profitable source of revenue
has been cut Of, besides reducing their
street car line to non paying basis. Should
the brewery folks consent to sell their rail-
road at reasonable figure, the water in the
dam will speedily rise to its usual level.
