at" Can't Love Anything.

A little girl was reciting her lesson in
conjugation:
''yerb, to love, indicative mood, pres
ent tense" called the teacher.
81 love, thou lowest. he or she loves
said the little girl.
"He, she or it loves" prompted the
preceptor.
at can't love anything" pleaded the
little girl.
And the teacher, suddenly struck with
a new idea, only replied: go on"
And this idea, new to the teacher, but
not to some others, was that grammar
as taught by book is a humbug. Only
very lately, to quote one instance from
a myriad, did the grammars recognize
that you" is a singular pronoun, though
it has been so used for three centuries,
and "you are" and all similar phrases
were parsed by their rules as second per.
son plural.-Boston Transcript.

origin Of tho Name Tacoma.

1t may DO added that the name Ia
coma was V known till Theodore
Winthrop's remarkable book, THE
Canoe and the Saddle" appeared in
November, 1862, says The Portland
Oregonian. In 1852 Winthrop went
10 Panama for William L. Aspinwall.
and visited California and Oregon the
next year. In August, 1853, he was
at Puget sound, and resolved TO return
10 the east acros the plains. His
book, written in a somewhat sophie
morical style, but remarkable for its
poetic, imaginative and descriptive
passages, gives an account of his vow
age with Indians in n canoe through
Puget sound and his horseback ride
over h Cascade mountain from Mes
qually 10 the Dalles, with Indian
guides. In this book the great noun
tam gets the name Tacoma Win
throp Processes to have obtained the
name from his Indian guides, and he
gives his Imagination play in a super
natural Legend of the mountain. II is
probable that the name Tacoma" was
a result Of his effort TO reproduce or
Initiate a word given him by his
guides, who were Yakima Indians,
and that the word was n common one
used by these Indians as a term for all
snow white mountain peaks. The
name of the city of Tacoma was taken
by its founders from Winthrop's book.
Winthrop was killed at Big Bethel.
Va, early in the war of the Rebellion,
and The Canoe and Saddle" with
other books he had written, and which
evidently had lain some time in his
desk, was published Immediately after
his death. Seattle Journal.

We offer noapology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class OF
diseases, believing that no condition of human
ity is too wretehed To merit the sympathy and
best services of the profession 10 which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
TO relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less u
philanthrophist and n bcnetactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
plication excels IN any Other b anch Of hispro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity the day
Is dawning when the false philanthrophy that
condemned the victims OF folly or crime, like
the epers under the Jewish law. to die uncared
for, has PASSED away.

postponed until yesterday and, as
yesterday was wetter day than the

hundreds of people have been there.
We cannot believe the clerk of the

The irrigation pumps they are ex-
perimenting with up at Greeley re-
minds us of like experiment that
was tried in western Kansas county
some ten years ago, that may be of
interest TO our readers: a Chicago
doctor who was blessed with an
abundance Of capital, on trip
through Kansas figured ont In his
mind how farming could be made a
great success in that country, he was
SO impressed with the idea that he
bought large body of land that Law
right for his scheme, he had his land
plowed ana sowed in wheat in the
fall, and early in the spring he had a
large well dug, an engine shipped
out from Chicago and all made ready
TO irrigate his land, when everything
was complete he invited party of
thirty or forty out to his place to see
his pump work and the water flow
that meant riches, he supplied the
carriages and an elegant dinner all
of which we was one to enjoy. At
the appointed time the engine started
the pump poured out stream of wa.
ter that would have flooded the aver
age Colorado farm in half a day,
but the Doctors land was very sandy
and II that pump was running yet it
would not irrigate two acres. The
Doctor considered the cost of coal,
the wages OF an engineer and the
other expenses connected with the
farm. and then left for Chicago. If
he has eyer been back since we have
not heard of it, and his irrigation
pump is land mark to this day in
that country.

The most appalling destrution of
life and property ever known in this
country was caused by the break in
the reservoir above Johnstown a
week ago yesterday. The towns of
South Fork, Mineral Point, Wood
vale, Johnstown and half dozen
other small places in a small valley
were completely wiped out of exis-
tence with loss of life estimated at
as high as twelve thousand. The ac-
counts of the desperate struggle for
life especially of women and children
is most touching, every day the ac-
counts are more horrible in detail.
The terrible calamity is felt by hu-
manity throughout the world who
mourn in sympaty with those unfor-
tunates in what proved to be the val
ley of death. Everything possible
that can be done for the survivors is
being done, donations of money, pro-
visions and clothing has been forward
ed from all parts of the Union. AS
tune passes by people begin to won.
der how so many thousand people
could live in peace and security in a
regular death trap, the reservoir was
at head of canon in which all the
towns swept away were built, the
reservoir wall was seventy feet high
and thirty feet across, from bank to
bank was half mile, the water was
very deep and backed up the canon
six or seven miles, no wonder when
the wall gave way the water rushed
down the canon in column thirty
or forty feet high. An account
speaking of the break says: The
dam broke IN Its center at O'Clock
on Friday afternoon, and at o'clock
the lake was dry. That great body
of water passed out in an hour.
An effort was made to avert the
disaster by digging a slnice-wa on
one side to ease the pressure on the
dam, but without avail. The water
passed over the dam about foot
above its top, beginning at half pas.
two o'clock, and whatever happened
In the way of cloud burst took
place during the night.
There had been but little rain up
to dark and in the morning when
the workmen woke the lake was full,
and it kept on rising rapidly until at
2 O'Clock it began pouring over the |
dam and undermining it. Men were
sent three or four times during the |
day to warn the people below.
When the final break came there
was a sound like tremendous contin-
ued peals of thunder. Trees, rocks
and earth shot into mid air in great
columns, and then the wave started
down the ravine.
