Handwriting on the Wall.

CINCINNATI Dispatch.
A young woman's boarding school
in this city is just at present discuss
ing the practical joke which few OF
the pupils played on one ofthe teach.
ers who is far from popular. Two
of the girls gained access to herroom
the other afternoon and painted in
phosphorus on the wall facing the
head of her bed this thrilling inscrip
ton: "This night shalt thou surely
die
About 10 O'Clock that night the
teacher retired and the girls watched
for her light to GO out. 1t was some
time before this happened, and then
there was q profound silence ofabout
three minutes. When this was
broken, it was shattered all to pieces
by a blood-curdling yell which rang
through the building to its farthest
confines. A rush was made for the
room of the ancient maiden, the
continued shrieks serving as a
guide.
One of the practical jokers led the
procession and Immediately struck a
light. The teacher was found fat
on the floor with her face firm, still
screaming, Whats the matter?'
said another teacher who now made
her temperance. With some difficulty
the victim was led to explain. But
as there was now a light no signs OF
the inscription were visible.
The teacher was induced to look
for herself but, though the letters
were gone, she felt assured that the
Almighty had served a summons ON
her as he did on Belchazzar oil
Babylon, She was put to bed and
another teacher agreed to sleep with
her to keep her quiet, As soon as
the light went out both women
yelled more piercingly than before.
This time the principal determined
on an investigation. The wall was
examined and the cause of the mys,
terious inscription ascertained. The
school is talking and laughing over
it and the obnoxious teacher is look

Railroad Mileage.

The number of inhabitants to each
mile of railroad in 1850 was ASH
while in 1887 this number was only
412; and the decrease has been SO
steady as to admit of representation
by curve which seems to be hyperbolic
in character. There was a conspicuous
interruption in the curve at the time
of the civil war, and another after tie
panic of 1873, but its nature is not
materially affected by these distur-
Dances. Estimating the future in
crease of population on the basis of
past, the prolongation of the curve
would indicate for 1890 apopulation
of 1876 to the mile of railroad, and
the limit of the curve would be
approximately reached in 1898, with
a population per mile of 325. 1t
would appear, therefore, that the
normal rate of railroad building for
the five years from 1885 to 1890 is
about 5000 miles a year, and that
5000 miles would be in excess OF the
limit indicated by the eurve.-New

A Beavers Protest.

"TIntil the Fall SHOWS carpet the
ground and render 'still-hunting,
practicable, it is not uncommon for
hunters to patrol the watercourses
at night, in the hope.of surprising
some one of the deer tribe in or near
the water. He who is to do the shoot-
ing sits in the bow, while the stern is
occupied by the paddler, who impels
the canoe in manner that is abso-
lutely noiseless. The many sounds
which atnight characterize the woods
on the confines of civilization are
wanting in the forests of the wilder
ness. In the absence of wind the ST.
lence is that of death itself-like the
Egyptian darkness, it seems as
though it could actually be felt. And
so the canoe steals slowly on, as ST.
lent as the shadow of O cloud, it's oc-
cupants, their nerves at the highest
tension, straining their ears to detect
at the earliest possible moment the
presence of the game they seek. Sud-
denly, without the slightest possible
warning, the deathlike silence is
broken by sound, as though the
guardian angel of the deer tribe had
hurled stone about two feet in di-
ameter into the water in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the canoe. 1t is the
protest of the beaver against the in
vasion of it's domain had heard
this sound many times, and it's cause
had been explained to me as often.
Still, though long experience had
taught me implicit confidence in my
companion and mentor, | could yield
him in this but a half-hearted faith.
1t seemed incredible that an animal
less than three feet long could make
noise the size of a two-story house.
But one moonlight night we stole on
beaver swimming in narrow
stream. Not till the stem of the
canoe was within five feet of it did it
detect our presence. Then down went
it's head, and rounding up it's back,
it struck a violent blow upon the
water with it's tail, and vanished. /
was literally showered and thorough
ly convinced at one and the same
moment. When excited or alarmed,
a beaver will sometimes continue this
performance, easily audible for half
mile or more, at half-minute inter-
walls for ten consecutive minutes. -
