Naturally attractive to home seekers
Omaha from now on must become
doubly so, not only on account OF fine
public schools, churches and places OF
amusement, but on account OF parks and
boulevards. In selecting q home the
seeker is very much influenced by at
tractive parks and boulevards and all
cities which have adopted extensive park
systems have at once sprung into popu-
larity among the thousands Of families
looking for q city 10 settle in. As q
general thing these families possess CON-
siderable money. One or two Of the
younger members probably seek active
business, but the place is selected in
part because it is.attractive and pleasant
in the eyes OF other members OF the
family.
Omaha Is now becoming attractive.

Repnsr.s Prophecies for 1sss.

Samuel Benner, an Ohio farmer. whO
has gained considerable notoriety through
the newspapers for his predictions OF
future events, and who \ few years ago
published small volume on the ups and
downs of prices, which had great sale,
has now communicated his prophecies for
the year 1888 in which he says:
This year, 1888, being the closing year
in this cycle of low prices-seven years
from isis the golden opportunity to
commence the foundation of 4 business.
If there is any benefit TO be derived from
a knowledge Of these cycles in trade, it
will be in taking advantage of them.
Young men who are about to COM
nlence their business career should en-
brace their present opportunity. There
are but few of these chances in an or
binary life. 1t requires about ten years
to complete an up and down in general
trade.
''When the depressions which follow
commercial crises reach their lowest limit,
as determined by these price cycles, they
afford the best opportunities for invest
ment, and the height Of speculative eras
are the most dangerous periods to make
commencement in any enterprise.
This is the opportunity for investors to
open mine, to build q furnace, to erect
mill, to build ship, TO equip railroad
and to make investments in agricultural,
commercial and industrial operations.

for his fortune by buying American Sc
curities in one of our commercial de-
pressions. " = New York Real Estate

The Florida RnttIesnnke.

The diamond back" is scientifically
known as crotalus horridus. You viii
know what mean; perhaps you will not.
Possibly my statement of that geological
fact viii only make cold chills creep down
your back TO no purpose. For the name
itself is appalling, and this perhaps is the
reason that the people of Florida who
wish TO encourage immigration merely al.
lude TO diamond backs lightly and cheer
fully as "rattlers.n But there are rat
tiers" and rattiers. The RATHER of the
north is more or less common; few have
gone ''huckleberryingn often without en-
couraging one. The better the ground
and day for finding berries the better
the chance for rattlesnakes, too. Bnt u
long stick always made short end of
crotalus adamanteus Of northern New
York.
Were the engagement with crotalus
horridus Of Florida, should want an
uncommonly Ieng stick, and you might
look with considerable certainty to find
me at the extreme end of it. The COM
mon name by which this snake is known
comes from the diamond pattern which
nature, ever liberal with her dyes and
designs, has printea W0a its lack. Moth.
ing could be neatF @ more becoming.
And, so far as looks g, this cro:alus is
the handsomest and best dressed of his
kind. But, since handsome is that hand
some does" only, the diamond back is not
generally admired in the circles wherein
he moves, breathes and principally has
his being.-St. Nicholas.

A Criticism of Vols. ,uk.

Yolapuk is now going through its Sec
ond and more deliberate criticism. Sci
ence contains q careful article by AIexan-
der NJ Bell, in which he concludes that
Volapuk does not solve the problem of q
universal language. The system will
meet most favor with nations whose Ian
guages are highly infected. This is not
the trouble with the English language.
He suggests an international committee
of English speakers to suggest such i'm
proYements as would make Of ours SIM
pier language, adapted to universal use.
A committee Of the American Philosophi-
cal society, Of which the eminent anthrop-
ologist, DR.. D. G. Brinton, was chairman,
has also reported that "Volapuk is
synthetic and complex, whereas all mod
ern dialects are becoming more analytic
and simple; the formal elements of Vola-
puk are those long since discarded by
Aryan speech" But this committee of
eminent scholars urge that as the ances-
tors Of all Aryans once used the same
language, so the time is near when once
again a unity of speech can be established
for all of our stock, and for ali the rest of
civilization as -Globe-Democrat.
