Printer Jim.
By Mass ADDIE M'GRATH.
READ before the Louisiana Press Association
issa5 5n0'@ 10"
It wasn't much to look at him,
A half grown lad, pale and slim
We never knew Just how he came,
(He walked, perhaps,) he said his
Was Printer Jim!
We oft recall the CHEEKY way,
He said. ~Well bows work to-day3 !"
Then added gently, looking down,
81 hear the fever has struck your
town.
Soft-hearted Jimf
Indeed, we walked abrest with Death,
The fever raged-its Hateful breath
Had borne our bravest and our best
That day, unto his last long rest.
We warned young Jim!
And babe him haste to leave the town,
Else he, too, might be stricken down.
He shook his head and softly said,
"The living must replace the dead"
Brave-hearted jim!
We never questioned how he stood,
Or if his "Union card' was good,
1t mattered very little then,
Great was III need, we wanted men,
And here was jim
HIS coat was frayed, his shoes were
worn,
His shirt was soiled, his hat was torn,
Other men, deeds less brave have done
And everlasting laurels have won,
Than did Il jim!
For who but he-when pale despair,
Walked hand in hand with bitter care
Across our hearts-made things seem
right,
And worked by day and watched by
night,
But Faithful jim!

case
With hopeful eyes and brave, white
face.
And, as the fever seized our men,,
He tried to do the work of ten.
Hard working Jim
The dead were borne adown the street,
The living languished in the heat,
And breaking hearts gave out a cry:
''In pestilence, oh, God! we die ~
Not CHEEKY jim
He it was, that praised the dead,
And words of cheer to the living said.
At length, the summer passed away,
And Hope resumed her wOnted sway
But what Of jim
He held out to the very last,
Like s~hipwrecked sailors to the mast.
When those he nursed were getting
well,
Sick with the fatal fever fell
Poor, tired jim!
1t may not seem so sad to you,
His lying there but then we knew
How steadfast was the soul he had
A mighty hero, poorly clad,
Was Printer Jim.
W. know that at the golden gate
Tue angels did not make him wait.
But threw the shining portals wide
And felt a thrill Of holy pride
To welcome jim!
And on that morn We buried him
Zen eyes unused to tears grew dim.
We planted roses at his head,
Shed tears upon his grave and said:
"Sleep well, brave Jim !"
We knew him by no other name
Save that he gave the day he came.
Upon the stone we carved the same,
And added "Deathless was the Fame,

The City of Silence.

The city of Amycle has been distinguished
in NEUROLOGICAL lore as having persisted
on account of its silence. 1t was a city of
Italy, in Latium, in the vicinity of Fund.-
and the Caecubus Ager. In AnthOn's ''Clas-
steal Dictionary" we have some fragmentary
stories relating to it. Angela was said to
have been of Greek origin, being colonized
from tie town of Amycla, in Laconia. Con-
corning its destruction lin Italy strange tales
were related According to some accounts
it was infested and finally rendered desolate
by serpents. Another tradition represents
the fall OF Amycl;e as having been the result
of the silence enjoined by law on its inhabi-
tants in order to put u stop to false rumors of
hostile attacks which had been so frequently
circulated.
The enemy at last, however, really ap-
peared, and, finding the place in defenseless
state, it was destroyed. The poets favor this
story Another statement has it that Amy
clae was one of the most ancient cities of La
coma, a short distance to the southwest of
Sparta. 1t was founded long before the ar
rival of the Dorians and Heraclide, who con-
quered and reduced it to the condition of a
small town. 1t was, however, conspicuous,
even in Pausanias' time, for the number of
its temples and other ediices, many of which
were richly adorned with sculptures and
other works of art. Its most celebrated
structure was the temple of Anglican
Apollo.

Europe are respectively the Norwegians and
the Lapps, living in almost the same region.
In Africa, also, the diminutive Bushmen and
the tallest race of the country, the Kaffirs,
are close neighbors" These facts indicate
that climate, soil and other physical condi-
lions have but small influence on human stat
ure, and suggest the question whether it is
due to social or moral agency. The compare
tive history of the Lapps and Norwegians in
dictates that it may be so. The Vikings were
always a fighting race; the Laps certainly
are and so far as we know always have been
an exceptionally peaceful people, and the
Esquimaux, with whom they are so nearly
connected, are the same.
The Lapps live on the snow fields of Nor
way, and the Esquimaux on the bittereSt
parts Of the Arctic regions, just the places to
which the weakest would be driven by con-
querors who have appropriated the more fer
tile regions. The consequent hardship and
semi-starvation would probably stunt the
growth of the weaker people, while, on the
other hand, the conquering warlike race, in
the days of hand-to-hand fighting with out
siders, and struggling for craftsmanship would
be continually killing Off the feeble, and null
tiplying the big men by the survival of the
fittest" for such conditions of mutual mm DOR
striving

In the works of Robert Hooke, published
int1G64, is the following forecast Of the tele-
phone:
"And as glasses have highly promoted our
seeing, so It's not improbable but that there
may be found many mechanical inventors to
improve our senses of hearing, smelling, tast-
ing and touching. 'Tis not impossibleto hear
a whisper a furlong's distance, it having been
already done, and perhaps the nature of the
thing would not make it more impossible
though that furlong should be ten times null
tiplied. And though some famous authors
have affirmed it impossible to hear through
the thinnest plate of Muscovy glass, yet
know a way by which it is easy enough to
hear one speak through wall yard thick
1t has not yet been Thoroughly examined
how far octocousticons may be improved,
nor what other ways there may be of quick
ening our hearing or conveying sound
through other bodies than the air, for that is
not the only medium. l can assure the reader
that have, by the help of a distended wire,
propagated the sound to considerable dis
lance in an instant, or with as seemingly
quick motion as that of light, at least in
comparably swifter than that which at the
same time was propagated through the air,
and this not only in a straight line or direct,
but one Bonded in many angles"

A COWBOY.

The most important article in a cowboys
outfit is the "chuck wagon" This IS the
wagon over which the cook presdes, and it
is a common prairie schooner, covered with
canvas to keep out the rain. Next to the
''chuck' wagon is the pony, which usually
costs about S25, and is vicious little animal
liable to "buckn every time it is mounted.
The owner of the herds supplies each boy
with blankets, saddle, bride and lasso, but
as soon as they have money enough of their
own they buy these things for themselves.
The lasso preferred is made of horse hair, and
is flexible and strong. To learn to use the
lasso takes from four weeks to six months
constant practice, and then some men never
