MAKING CITIZENS.

MAAkNGI OkA1AN NNSs
 The part which the public schools of the country have in preparing boys for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship is an i'm portant one. It has lately been thought by many that the elaborate school systems in operation in our cities are very deficient in the teaching they give future citizens con- cerning their political responsibilities. It is evident that this ought not to be so, and that as most of the school boys in cities do not go to the high school they should be properly, taught in the grammar schools. The Boston school committee are responding to the demand of the age for a fuller knowledge. of our history in the gram- mar schools as a preparation for oiti. izsnship. The course as now arranged, in- cludes the reading of stories of American history and the lives of illustrous Americans by the three lower classes, while the three upper classes make a regular study of the history with such parts of English history as are directly connected. English history is to bs dropped from the last year and the study of the civil government of Massachusetts and that of the United States substituted, with the reading of the lives of eminent Englishmen.
 Of course 1t is impossible to give the boys a very thorough understanding of the facts and principles of government. But something can be done and something is much better than nothing

 Mr. Dunsford. an Enalish civil engineer, discusses the feasibility of removing the ice cap in the northern polar region by explo- sions of dynamite.

Tho chan nel having been finished and the ice cap having been dislodged by dynamite, the shores of the Arctic Sea would become hab- itable, Mir.

It would sink for ever to the level of other commodities as an, article for commercial use alone; and as such take its chances with iron, lead and other products in the markets of the world"

A Prince of Gamblers Who Has Al-
 ways Summed Publicity.
 From the Philadelphia Times.l
 SARATOGA, March 29.-John Morrissey became enamored of publicity while pugil- ist and rather courted newspaper men, es- rsoially when running for office. This love of the public gaze was shared by one of his partners, Spencer. But the most remarkable of the trio was a man whose name has never been mentioned publicly as connected with he game. Such was and is the unusual modesty of this man that I forbear to print his name because he seriously requested 1t. and yet If were to state his name the pub- lio would not know it. He is manly look ing person, of grave, unobservant and kindly nature. Bloodshed and danger have not made braggart of him, but in spite of his phlegmatic courage his nature has tinge of melancholy in it. He says:
 "I am gambler because was brought up to 1t. never liked the business, never will, but the fools and spendthrifts supply the capital and we take the chances, winning be- cause the temper of the gamester changes, but the cards never do. If Rothsohild or George W. Childs would sit long enough at a faro table the game would beggsr him, SO a gambler has only to stand and wait"
 This man spends no unnecessary time on the turf or at the gambling house. He nev- CT enters the pool room. He Is only a gam munsrative and 1t gives him chance to en- joy his elegant desires, and he knows no other occupation. Every moment of time he has to spare from the club house is spent in his elegant private residence, in which he invested sixty thousand dollars. Here he often entertains senators and governors, and Samuel Tilden, Governor Hendricks of Indi- Qaff of dined with the gentlemanly gambler on the game day.

SNAKY.

In the spring the young mans fancy light ly turns to thoughts of love, the fishermsn's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of trout, and the snake editors fancy lightly turns to snake stories. The snake story season has opened with unusual brilliancy this year. We doubt that 1t will be exec aded in power and conprehensiveness by even the sea ser. psnt season. One snake story, told by the Kansas City Times, deserves such reoogni- ton as ought everywhere to be accorded to high art. It is ss follows:
 Seventeen years ago I lived with my father and mother on the banks of the Stranger river in Atchison county, Kansas. I was only years of age, and one day my youthful fancy was caught by the pretty oolors Of biaoksnake. I pulled amail ring of my finger and @ string out of my pocket. Placing the ring over the head of the snake, started homo in triumph, drag ging the snake at my hsels. and feeling as much 6 conqueror as the Roman emperor who dragged the csptives behind the ohariots. In climbing over e fence my captive made its escape. Ring, string, everything disap- peared.
 I shed few tea1s at the time, but had for gotten the matter until this week, when returned to tho vicinity of my old home in Atohison county for the purpose of buying some sheep. While crossing a small creek that flows into the Stranger river my atten- ton was called by the barking of my dog to . strange something in tres. Investigated and found there an immense blacksnaks, fully ten feet long. Between the dog and myself, we succeeded in killing the snaks, though was obliged to use in the warfare both club and revolver. The dog finished the snake by giving it a shaking and tearing it in pieces.
 You will hardly believe me, know, but you can have my head If 1t wasn't the same identical snake that got away from me sev- enteen years ago. How do knowi Simple enough. That little black snake had grown to be monstrous big one, the little silver ring around its neck had grown until 1t wes eS large e e lady's bracelet, and the piece of twins had grown until 1t WIT . good-sized rope. But the straugest part of all wes that the dog had shaken out seventeen little black snakes, and that each one was the exact counterpart of the snake that had escaped in the long ago, while around the necks of each of the seventeen young ones were silver rings, end attached to these rinKs were short pieces of twine. And upon each one of these silver rings you could plainly distinguish the initials of my name just as they had been stamped in the silver ring that wore when seven years old.
 This story wouldn't be believed in Eng land. But the English don't know what can be done in the wild and woolly West.

Nearly two hundred thousand ex-Union soldiers are reported to be in circumstances calling for aid.
 A professor of John Hopkins University has an original theory to account for race color. He attributes the color of the negro to the deficiency of oxygen in the warm air he has breathsd. This causes weaker res- piration and deposit of carbon Is made under the skin, just as . chimney with dea fective draft is choked with soot.
 Labor organization is rapidly spreading. Even the grave diggers of Paris feel obliged to have union. They are officially employ ed by the city and number 125. Ten hours day is their average labor and they are lia- bls to be called up at any time of the night. They are besinning to organize for the pur- day irstead of five.
