A Young Historian.

What do you think of this for boy of
thirteen? He has read the combined
histories of England, Scotland and
Wales, histories of France, Rome and
The Rebellion in two large volumes, Life
of George Washington, James A. Gar
field, and many other books. Yes, and
one book he tells me on Ancient History.
Now for the benefit of Willie Rhoades
here is an outline that will give him a
systematic course of historical reading.
This outline was from teacher and
friend who has made historical study his
life work. will quote it from letter
just as it was written to me some time
ago.
81 shall not give you very long list
now. If you want to read up through
the American Revolution, the revised ed
ition of Bancroft is as good as anything.
On the development of the Constitution,
Frothingham's "Rise of the Republic"
On the Administrations to the Civil
War, "Young's American Statesman" re-
vised edition. On this certain biograph-
les will be exceedingly valuable and in
teresting. Washington, Hamilton, JEFF
ferson, the Adamses, Madison, Monroe,
jackson, Clay, Webster, Calhoun, etc.
On the Civil War the best know is
Diapers. I would not attempt ali these
but select line as: Bancroft, Frothing-
ham, Washington or Franklin, Madison,
jackson, Clay or Webster and Draper.
Supplementary work on general histo-
ry. Students Series published by Har-
per's, Smiths Ancient History of East
and of Greece, LiddelPs history of Rome.
History primers, "Old Greek Life, :"
Roman Antiquities, Forsyth's Life of
Cicero" ''Plutarch's Lives" "Gibbon's
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
@Prescott's Ferdinand and Isabella, !"
"Philip II and Charles V Bulwer's "Last
Days of Pompeii." "Harold and Rienzi,"
DAubigue's History of Reformation"
abridged, "Some Life of Luther" Car.
lyle's French Revolution, 'Greene's His
tory OF England"
There is what good historian consid-
ers the best worke OF the periods and the
subjects treated of. Many grown
up people will appreciate 1.-THE same
If they will just keep it for use in their
readings. 1t may save time by giving
you works that cover the whole period of
history which you can read without re-
peatingi it unnecessarily

An Autopsy.


Do you know what that is? Wont you
please look it up or ask some one at once:
You had better look it up if you have a
dictionary handy, while Iapologize to DR..
Jones for not having him present, for this
is business that belongs entirely to the
profession of medicine.
But have one good excuse at least,
for not having Regular" present. If 1
had, my report would have been SO large
and told in such big words that I wouldn't
have understood it at all; then how could
I have told you?
The subject ofmy autopsy was a chicken
gizzard.
[ noticed that the gizzard was peculiar
shape. You remember that there are two
gristles you say, OF muscles, muscular
walls. This gizzard seemed to have three.
L sharpened my knife and carefully be-
gan my examination.
On opening the gizzard I found that
the third gristle has not a muscular wall
to grind chicks food but muscular
sac which nature had formed to hold
something which the chicken had swal-
lowed and could not get rid of, and which
he could not grind up SO as to digest it.
His chickenship had found little
cambria needle and probably in bis desire
to prevent some other chickens getting
the shining morsel he had swallowed it,
without taking time to examine it
thoroughly.
Nature had tried to help him out of
his bad luck by building for the needle
a little sac.
The walls of this little sac were very
hard inside, AS If the process of gristle
turning to bone might be going on in
them.
Inside the sac and all around the needle
was black powder to the depth of about
an eighth of an inch.
I wondered after I had finished the
autopsy what the chicken thought of the
matter, whether he knew of his mistake
when too late, and if when the needle
would some times stick him he attributed
it to heart disease or thought he was get
ting the chicken pox, or what he did
think.
Do you suppose he ever thought it
might be "prickings of his conscience"
because he was SO piggish?

commissioners OF tho stone bridge six

Ohio Valley to open and examine the
propositions for tho $50, 500 Of thebonds

seen how tho electric light plant bonds
went that tho bidding Tor these would
be lively, but nobody was prepared &c
sec numerous foreign firms put in bids
lowering close around five per cent

much moro than ton times the amount
Of the ISSUE yet that was tho state OF
affairs when the propositions we're cx-
amined.
The offers aggregated SOL 800. The

Co., OF Cleveland, had already exam
inCd into the loan to their satisfaction,
and as their bid OF 4.54 premium was
the second best, tho whole issue OF the
bonds was sold to them. BY combining
some OF the bids for smaller blocks the
commissioners could have come within
$206 OF tho bid OF the successful firm,
but that $20G and tho increased facility
OF issuing oil to one purchaser settled it.
Only two small bids were rs low MS

amounts as high as five per cent

distance had representative present
i'll person to represent the firm. Gov
ernor Fleming was also hero to look
after the interests OF the State Univor-
sity, which desired to secure the bonds
as IN Investment for its funds, but bid
too low. There were in oil 81 bidders,
the bids being for from 500 to the
whole amount OF the loan.
4 prominent banker said yesterday
that it was fortunate that tho bonds had
been sold to non-rcsidents, because this
brings into the community and puts
into circulation additional funds, in
