Yellowstone National Park.

In view of the widespread attention now cen
tered in the Yellowstone National Park, thefollow-
ing expressions from two of the most eminent
American citizens, a scientist and the other a
clergyman, are of great interest.
prof John Muir, California's Distinguished
Geologist speaking OF the National Resort says:
SITUATED in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, on
the broad rugged summit of the continent, amid
snow and ice and dark shaggy forests, where the
great rivers take their rise il surpasses in wakefu
exciting interest any other region yet discovered
on the face of the globe"
Rev.T Dewitt Talmage, the eminent divine, says:
after all poetry has exhausted itself and when
all the Norans and Bierstadts and other enchant-
ing artists have completed their canvas, there will
be other revelations 10 make and other stories OF
lis beauty and wrath, splendor and agony, TO be
recited The Yellowstone Park is the Geologists

A Much Discussed Ouestiop

One of his children had produced a
dinner table sensation by offering a
grammatical correction of the language
used by the head of the house to the
effect that the phrase should not be 1T
is l." but should be lit is me-" A chal-
lenge of the accuracy of this view
brought out the further statement that
the educational authorities to which
this child owed school room allegiance
had determined that 1T is him" and
1T is her. were not permissible express
sions, smacking of vulgarity, but that
1T is me" had become established in
this country by usage" and was there
fore the correct form. had an oppor-
tunity to refer this matter to the pro-
fessional educator of whom | spoke the

staggerer: We'll, that case has received

A Mountain of Salt.

A mass of 9O,0O0,0O0 tons of pure,
solid, compact rock salt, located on an
island 1Sj feet high, which rises from a
miserable sea marsh on the route from
Brashear TO New IBERIA, up the river
Teche in Louisiana, is one of the Won
ders of the world. How this island,
which contains over 800 acres of excel
lent land, ever came into existence in
such locality is matter of conjecture.
Vegetation is prolific and the scenery is
beautiful and varied. In the center of
this island, which is the only solid spot
in the vast expanse of sea marsh for
miles around, rises Salt peak, the largest
body of exposed rock salt in the world.
Having never been surveyed, its exact
extent is as yet unknown. However, En-
gineer Brown, who has visited it, says
that there is not less than 10000, 900
tons of pure crystal salt in sight. The
dazzling clearness of Salt peak forms a
striking contrast with somber lagoons,
bayous and salt marshes which surround
it on all sides.-St. Louis Republic.

A Neyysboys' Game.

The newsboys frequenting the City
Hall park at night have invented new
sort of baseball game, which they
play when the sparrow" policemen
are not about. They usually choose the
long, brightly lighted wall in front of
the city hall for the game, and nearly
every night they attract crowd Of pc
destrians by their play. The difference
between their game and the real game
Is that instead Of throwing and batting
. ball they place it on the ground and
the boy whose Inning" it is rushes
along and kicks the sphere as far as he
can, after which he scampers to base.
The rest of the game is the same as base
ball, and the little fellows seem to enjoy
it hugely.-New York Star.

An old resident in Vermont tells the
following story, belonging to his past ex-
perience as country postmaster:
1t happened one spring when the mud
was almost up to the horses knees that
we had no mail for three days. The con-
sequence was that the three days batch,
consisting of nine bags, came IN late one
night as was about going to bed. l de-
termined to delay distribution until
morning, and fell asleep rather harassed
at the thought of so large task.
Next day rose early and went into
the Office to open my mail bags. They
were gone! The corner where ! always
left them was quite empty, and my heart
began to beat loud and fast. The mail
had been delivered to me, was respon.
sible for it, and it was not to be found
Presently, as / stared about, the big
drops Of sweat gathering on my fore
head, noticed small packages of letters
lying in the places where / was accus-
toned to leave them before sending them
out into the several districts by the farm
ers who came to town. Hooked further;
the mail was all distributed. Then
turned to the spot where always threw
the empty bags after finishing my work.
There they lay, collapsed and empty.
Now you know exactly as much about
this story as l know myself. 1t seems
very evident to me that rose in my
sleep, impressed by the unusual task
before me, and finished it mechanically.
