The Close of the Week.

Blessed be Saturday night! when the
1abors of the week are ended, and
humanity takes, or should take, one
long breath of repose; when the noise
of the anvil and loom is still, and
silence reigns for one day where Mann
mon and busy care have sat enthroned.
With the dust washed from his brow,
the son of toll sits king, with his
baby subjects on his knee. All the
week he has o6eyed orders; this day he
gives them. Here by the hearthstone,
master and operative stand in a sense
independent and equal. 1t is blessed
and soul-saving that the latter has
time to cherish this soothing influence
one day in seven, With these heart
ties and responsibilities, he takes those
dependent upon him by the hand, and
walks proudly forth with the proudest,
on this blessed day Of rest. Ones
satisfied eyes follow such little home
groups with benediction. IN +.

Interesting and Instructive Facts About
the Worlds Population.
The number of men capable of bear
ing arms is calculated at one-fourth OF
the population.
There are 1904 languages in the
world, and it's inhabitants profess more
than 1000 religions.
Those born in spring are generally
of a more robust constitution than
others. Births are more frequent by
night than by day, also deaths.
There are on the earth 1000. 0oO, 900
inhabitants; of these 33,033, 033 die
every year, 1884 every day, $3.50
every hour, and 60 every minute, or !
every second.
The number of marriages is in the
proportion of rs to every 1000 individ.
uals. Marriages are more frequent
after equinoxes-that is, during the
months of June and December.
The married are longer-lived than
the single, and. above all, those who
observe a sober and industrious con.
duct. Tall men live longer than short
ones. Women have more chances oil
life in their favor previous to fifty
years of age than men have, but fewer
afterward.
The number of men is about equal to
the number of women. The average
of life is about thirty-three years. One.
quarter die previous to the ago Of
seventeen. To every 1000 persons only

TO every 100 only 6 reach the age O.

MUSIC IN BATTLE.

The Secret of Leonidas' Famous Victory
at Thermopyle.
The favorite problem of thinkers
and teachers, since thought began, has
been to find some engine of education
which should reach the character as
effectually as the ordinary means OF
training touch the understanding; and
in the opinion of many, not men alone
but nations, music was such an engine
1T is music" said the Spartans,
(which distinguishes the brave man
from the coward" "A mans music
is the source of his courage" It was
their music which enabled Leonidas
and his three hundred to conquer at
Thermopyla. It was music which
taught the the Spartan youths how to
die in the wrestling ring or on the
field of battle. These claims are
audacious surely. Yet, when we con-
slider how the rhythnical tread OF
the brave man differs from the
agitated shamble of the coward.
how music is tho art of human JOY,
and how joy and repose of mind are
the main elements of manly fortitude,
we shall at any rate admit that there
is a strong affinity somewhere; our
only difficulty will be to acknowledge
that music, deliberately applied, could
ever be the direct cause of these
reputed results. 10 achieve the end
desired Spartan boys passed their
youth in learning tunes, hymns and
songs-this was their sole mental
culture. They were taught to dance
and keep step to the measure of the
songs as they sang them. And, grown
to manhood, now perfect warriors,
marched into battle with smiling faces,
crowned with flowers, calm, joyful,
and serene, and, informing their songs,
moved steadily thus into the thickesl
of the fight. undisturbed and irresist.

to the field Of battle nowadays is &
scant survival Of Spartan practice
yet even IN this music by proxy there
are many elements of Indictment ia

FIGHTING RAILROADS.

An Oriental Story Told for the Benefit O..
Bost"n's City Fathers.
Certain very respectable citizens OF
Boston-a minute minority, it is true
and the adjoining enlightened region,
have recently declared against per-
hitting any vehicles in the streets for
public travel except such as are drawn
by horses. After the streets have
been thickly lined with huge masts for
telegraph aud telephone wires bear
ing scores of crowding wires, these
conservatives raise objections to the
slim iron posts and the single wires
required to drive street cars by the
new motor, electricity. The same
kind of objoctors wore clamerous
against the first steam railroad; the
Disagreement, the dangers, the de-
struction of stage-coach and tavern in
terests were eloquently and earnestly
urged. This is hardly credible, but it
actually took place within the memory
of mon still living. That it may be-
more adequately realized, it is inter-
esting to note what is occurring in
Oriental countries to-day. When it
was proposed to construct the
first railroad in Persia, the
Persian conservatives protested.
They said that the ancient
glory of Persia was in no way con-
nected with the railroad; that what
was good enough for their grand
fathers was good enough for the Per-
slams of to-day; besides that, the rail-
roads would frighten horses and kill
people. The railroad came, and in
certain respects it has verified the
predictions Of the Persian conserva-
tives. it has also furnished the occa-
sion for demonstration of Persian
conservatism in its militant form. On
the Sd Of November in the station at
Teheran, a man jumped off q train
before it had come to full stop. This
action was clearly indicative of the
possession of Western ideas on his
part He was killed, and Persian
spectators, who did not pause to reflect
that his death was an accident-not al
incident-of the railroad, made q
charge upon the engineer. The er
gineer defended himself with q re
volver, killing one man and severely
wounding another. Then the train
hands took to their heels and the Per
sian conservatives took to the con
genial occupation of wreclzing the
train. The military were called Out
and the crowd was dispersed, to th>

they could put an end to railroads, =

THlN-SkINNED PEOPLE.

Poor Mortals Whose Moral Cuticlc Is AL
together Too Sensitive.
Occasionally one meets with indi-
viduals whose moral cuticle is as sem
sitive as the leaf of the mimosa. Ev-
cry random conversational shaft is, in
their estimation, as palpably intended
for them as was the arrow labeled
''for the right eye of Philip" for that
monarch's dexter optic.
1t is painful to be in the society OF
such people. One is afraid to speak,
lest he should hurt feelings that are al
ways on the qwi vive to be hurt Gen.
sure fault common to the race, and
your thin-skinned acquaintance at once
appropriates the structure. In vain
you generalize-he focalizes; the focal
point being self.
Conscience has in cases it's share in
bringing home a casual expression tc
the business and bosom of an indi.
vidual; but egotism and conceit are
we believe, at the bottom of good
deal of the morbid constituencies one
encounters. A man must be very vain
who imagines that his particular weak
ness is a matter of sufficient interest ia
society to provoke it's continual ridi.
Guile. s.
Be assured, ye of the tender moral
epidermis, that most of the expires,
sions at which you take umbrage
would have been uttered though you
had never been born. The world has
something else to do than make caps
to your measure, and if, by chance
you. come across one about your size,
don't suppose it was got up specially
for your caput-there are plenly Of
heads that It will fit besides yours.
The best way Is not to put it on.--N
