Mr.. Finney had turnip,
And il grew and it grew
And it grew behind the barn,
Aud the turnip did no harm.
And 1t grew and it grow,
Till 1t could grow no taller.
Then Mr. Finney took it up
And put It in the cellar.
There 1t lay and it lay,
Till it begsn to rot
Then his daughter Susie washed IT.
And she put it in the pot.
Then she boiled it, and boiled it,
As long as she was able,
Then his daughter Lizzie took it,
And she put it on the table.
Mr. Finney and his wife
Both sat down to sup
And they ate, and they ate
Until they ate the turnip up

Life ON a Cuban Plantation.

In Dakota and Manitoba the en-
ployment on single wheat estates OF
hundred reapers and an aggregate
Of three hundred labOrers for n
season has been regarded as some
thing unprecedented in agricultural
industry; but ON one sugar estate in
Cuba-"El BalbOa''-trOm fifteen
hundred to two thousand hands, in
variably negroes, are employed, who
work under severe discipline, in
watches or relays, during the grind
ing season, by day and night, the
same as in the large iron mills and
furnaces Of the United States and
Europe. At the same time there
are few village communities where
n like number Of people experience
the same care and surveillance. The
male workers occupy quarters
walled and FABRICATED from the
women, and the women from the
men.
There are in every village an in
Urinary, a lying-in hospital, n ply
stefan, an apOthecary, chapel and
priest. At night and morning mass
is said in chapel, and the crowds
are always large. There is Of a
Sunday less restraint, though cease
less espionage is never RENTED. On
these days and in parts Of holidays
there are rude mirth, ruder music
and much dancing. This picture is
given somewhat in detail because il
illustrates how all pervading and
tremendous are the forces that are
modifying society everywhere, in
civilized, partially civilized and bar
barOus countries, conformity with
the new conditions Of production
and consumption.-fopuiaT Science

A Death Signal.

There has been for n number Of
years past an old man named I'm
derwood living in a cabin on Uncle
Aaron Treadway's farm. The old
gentleman had not been out Of the
city limits for n number Of years,
and made an honest living doing
odd jobs about town. About a month
ago he began talking about visiting
san Francisco, " here he formerly
lived, and those most intimate with
him supposed he had gone TO the
city until last evening. Shortly after
dark last night n halo Of light was
seen above his cabin, SO brilliant
that it set all the dogs in the neigh
borhood to bowling, and excited the
neighbors and set them to speculat-
ing as to the cause Of the pneuOme-
non. Uncle Tread finally proposed
that they ''canvas the proposition"
and when they got there they found
old man Underwood stark and stiff
in deaths embrace. When they
came out of the cabin il was pitch
dark, and what caused the light still
remains mystery. The name Of
the deceased was II. G.. Uunder-
wood, aged 6s years, and a native Of
Wisconsin. His body was removed
TO the undertaker's, and will be bur-
led tomorrow.-Reno Gazette.

Some Authors Full Names.

Seeing Bret Harte's name on the
title page Of his latest book the other
day recalled to ME how general had
become the habit with authors of
dropping one Of their surnames.
How odd Francis Bret Harte
sounds, for example, yet such is the
authors baptismal name. Bayard
TaylOr's first name was James; only
a few Others than Wilkie Collins
intimate ffiends, / imagine, know
that his name Is really William
Wilkie Collins, and so is the case
with many others. Austin Dobson
was Henry Austin Dotson before
he took up literature, and Edmund
William Gosse is today known only
TO the world by his first and last
names. "Henry II. Haggardo
sounds strange to thousands Of ears
who know "IRider Haggard."
Brander Matthews was christened
James Brander Matthews, and
Duffield Osborne is in reality SAM
uel Dufiield Osborne. Laurence
Hutton is n contraction Of James
Laurence Hutton, aHd Howard
Seeley Is Edward Howard Seeley,
Jr. Frank Stockton is really Fran
els Richard Stockton, while joaquin
Miller is a corruption Of Cincin-
natus Hiner Miller. The principal
reason for this contraction Of names,
] imagine, is that one surname is
undoubtedly more striking and
easier remembers 4 by the utlblic
than tvO.-BOk's LterGyy Ledres.
