Pythagoras and His Doctrine.

When PythagOras, after his return from

dog to he held to the mouth of tn dying
man in order to receive his departing spirit,
saying that there YVES no animal which

1t was at Moor Allerton, near Leeds, a
village which stands on high hill, crowned
by large wood. By the road near the
wood stood one or two of what were then
the last gas lamps of the town. Though it
was not late in the afternoon, the fog was
so thick that these were lighted, and round
one of them was flying large bird, either
a wood pigeon or a stock dove, which had
probably lost its way as it was making for

And most of those present were singers.
A young student from Heidelberg gave us,
in its native tongue, The Watch on the
Rhine for which, of course, he received
the customary recognition. An English
man sang Annie Laurie an Irishman

one of these songs was as well rendered as

went over it again and again, and never
heard such singing in my life. That was
the song that reached their hearts. Phil

fair on Sunday. T think there will be
no question about that" said the presi-
dent of the exposition. "If know the
mind of the directorate 1t is to open the
doors of the great show on Sundays.
Possibly it will be decided to close them
half the day during the morning. and
keep them open from IL O'Clock. The
machinery will not bc running. as t is
best TO have one day of rest for the ex-
hibitors. But the show will all be there

Will Yet he One.

From the Chieag) Journal:
The Michigan Legislature has refused
to consolidate the two towns of Benton
Harbor and st. Joe, since the residents
OF the latter place would not accept n
new name, anu those OF the former
would not assent 10 uniting under the
un-Amerlcan one of ST. Joseph. The
rivals Will continue their progress side
by side until present animoslties die
out and the two can be Joined under
some title mutually satisfactory. These
deadly issues between towns, the inter-
ests of winch ara almost identical, do
not retain their life for any great length
OF time, and we shall yet have Just
across the lake from Chicago q city
worthy The location.
In the immediate contest between the
two towns Benton Harbor has an advan-
tage which will doubtless affect future
relations. The ST. Joseph river q little
distance from Lake Michigan. turns al
most sheerly to the south, leaving St.
Joseph isolated on neck of land cut off
from the surrounding productive region
save to the south, where the territory IS
not garden by any means. Benton
HarbOr. on the contrary, Is reached by
canal from the st. Joseph river on
the north; has harbor which is quiet
as q mill-pond and may be en-
larged TO any extent, while the town
itself lies upon the edge and is the out
let OF one OF the most productive
regions in the world. Additionally the
Benton Harborites are public spirited
and are straining every nerve to sustain
the legitimate "boom" the place now
boasts. The place will gradually ex-
tend Its industries toward st. Joseph,
and as business relations become closer
present animosities will disappear and
there will be organized the city whose
organization has been postponed.
