Look Ahead.

Better let the courthouse stay where IL
is rather than build on little cramped
up space, 10 be afterward hemmed in by
other large buildings. The courthouse
should be in the center of an entire block,
and good wide streets all around it. Tho
commissioners should look ahead to what
the city will be ten or twenty years from
now. The Arnaud block is the best and
cheapest site offered. The next hest Site,
(and the most valuable), not too far from
the saloons, is the Shacklett property, cor
neT of Commerce and Cameron streets.

A Bows Idea of Girls.

A Composition on Girls: Girls
are a nuisance in family where
there is boy. They are always
breaking something and laying it
on him. If they are going to an en-
tertainment that begins at s o'clock,
they will begin to get ready at &
O'Clock, and stand before the glass
an hour and half at least. You
can go into any house where a girl
lives and lift up the mat before the
glass and you will see there is
scarcely any carpet left there. Girls
are allowed to come in at the front
door, while the boys have to go
around to the back door day or
night. They can stay out of school
now any time they want to, but a
boy cannot unless he plays truant.
If girls want to go out at night with
the boys they tell their folks that
they are going to church, but If
boy tells his folks that they think
he is lying to them. Girls can go
to their brothers bureau and mix
everything up and read his letters
and then plague him about them.
Then they are mad at him if he
scolds about it. When he goes to
his sisters bureau to get something
she took out Of his she makes a
noise like some will animal and
scares the life out Of him. Girls
are always on hand when there is
any candy brought into the house,
and eat it all up before their brother
gets around. And if the folks want
to go out to spend the evening their
brother has to stay with them be-
cause they are afraid to stay alone.
If ever a boy smokes his sister is
always around somewhere to see
him and goes home and tells his
father and mother, and then he
gets scolding, all on her account
and then she will want him to 60
to the store three times week tor
tea-lead to do her hair up on. One
bow is worth three girls. Now, boys,
this is all true, for l have two SIS
ter's myself, and know all about IT.
Well I cannot think of much more
to write, 80 I will close.

Story of q Man Who Was Home
sick for Earthquakes.

~ see there was an earthquake in
California yesterday" said the old
Californian. "That sounds good
like old times. It makes me home
sick. The west coast has been get
ting too blamed stylish since it got
railroads, and a good shaking up
will do it good, set it right, remind
it of old times. Why, when | first
went out there in the spring of 80
we thought no more of having the
roof ratified down over our heads
nights than Boston folks think of
wading around in slush and mush
up to their knees. This doesn't seem
to have been much of shake, yet
it was a bigger one than California
has had for more than twenty years.
The last big one was the year that
the first railroad was built across
the continent. That big shake came
as if California was shaking hands
with old times and the days of en-
igranttrains. There have been moth
ing much but little quivers since
that time = nothing wholesome,
nothing worth counting, nothing to
make man stop and think of his
soul. l tell you back in the old
days earthquakes took the place of
missionaries. They were just as
efectual and it didn't cost anything
to support 'em. Why, I've seen a
gang of men getting ready to have
a little sociable orgy on a chilly
night, when, whizz the mountains
would begin to teeter, the ground
would go loose under your feet; if
there was any glass around it would
shiver and fall. Then the men
would look white round the gills
some of 'em would complain OF
being dead sick to the pit Of the
stomach, and if there was anything
drunk that night it had water in it.
and there would be considerable
more quiet to the game, if it came
off at all. There was a little. shake
when I was out in California on
one of those excursions here a few
years ago, but it was poor third
rate, good-for-nothing little quivel
didn't even shake down any plas
ter. Folks didn't use to plaster
their houses. They boarded 'em uE
or ceiled 'em with cloth and let i

terday there was a grand shaking

How to Avoid Choking.

Death by the clogging of the wind
pipe is an accident liable to happen
to hungry persons eating hastily or
to children, and calls tor the great
est elf.control and presence ofmind
on the part of those who are pres
ent. The substance which causes
the choking may either be at the
top of the throat, at the entrance
to the gullet, or lower down. If at
the upper part of the throat, prompt
action will often remove it, either
by thrusting the finger and thumb
into the mouth and pulling the OBJ
struction away, or, if it cannot be
reached so as to pull it away, a
piece of whalebone, quill or even
a penholder-anything at hand
should be seized and pushed down
as a probang, so as to force the sub
stance down the gullet. Tickling
the back Of the mouth with feather
so as to produce violent retching,
will sometimes dislodge it, or a
sudden splashing of cold water in
the face, which causes involuntary
gasping. Should the patient be-
come insensible before relief can be
afforded, it must not be assumed
for certain that death has taker
place, and such remedies as dash
ing cold water in the face and OF
the chest and applying ammonia te
the nostrils should be continued
till medical aid arrives.--Chicagt

Forty Years Hence.

Unless some great change takes
place in our financial or social sys-
tenn the Millionaire is certainly COM
ing at rapid pace. True, a vast
fortune does not multiply by mere
interest, if kept at home. quite so
rapidly as one of more moderate
size, on account of the difficulty OF
reinvesting such enormous incomes
at full rates Of interest. But 1t is
also true that in other respects large
fortunes tend to increase much more
rapidly than very small ones. OPP
portunities for large profits on spe-
cial transactions are presented to
millionaires far more often than to
others. They are more likely to
gain by the ''unearned increment
They can afford to pay for the very
best service, and they can and do
secure agents Of great ability and
integrity. Such agents can as easily
make safe investments in the West
at 8 per cent as in the East at 5 per
cent. Small capitalists must keep
their money at home, because they
cannot watch over distant invest
ments or afford to employ local
agents. These advantages more
than compensate for the lower rate
of interest which large capitalists
often have to accept on home IN
vestments in consequence OF their
rapid accumulations.
Thus we see that in the last twen-
ty years, while rates of interest have
been constantly declining in Amer
lea, vast fortunes have increased
more rapidly than ever before. Sew
eral non-speculative estates have
increased fve-fold in less than forty
years. Interest is now very low !;
but. adding to interest the steady
increment Of city. lands, an addition
of at least per cent per annum at
compound interest may be counted
upon for these great estates. At
that rate present fortune of $780,

Can Plants See +?

The candid observer must admit
that many plants act as if they had
the faculty of seeing. At any rate,
they manage to find food and sup
port by some special sense, which
the unscientific mind cannot name
any better than to call it sight.
Mrs. King describes very curious
instance of this habit of looking out
for support on the part of creep
ing plant in India.
"My husband has broached the
ory that / cannot remember to have
met with before, namely, that creep
ing plants can see, or at any rate
have some faculty equaling sight.
He was sitting in the veranda with
one foot up against large pillar,
near to which grows kind of large
convolvulus. Its tendrils were lean
ing over into the veranda, and to
Roberts surprise he presently no.
ticed that they were visibly turning
toward his leg. He remained in
the same position, and in less than
an hour the tendrils had laid them
selves over his legs.
"This was in the early morning
and when at breakfast he told me
of this discovery, we determined te
make further experiments. Wher
we went out into the veranda the
tendrils had turned their heads bach
to the railing in disgust. We got {
pole and leaned it up against tht
pillar, quite twelve inches from th'
nearest sprays of convolvulus.
ain ten minutes they had begur
to curve themselves in that direc
ton, and acted exactly as you nigh
fancy a very slow snake would de
if he wished to reach anything. Th'
upper tendrils bent down and th'
side ones curved themselves unit
they touched the pole, and in few
hours were twisted quite round it
''It was on the side away from
the light, and excepting the faculty
of sight, we can think Of no Other
means by which the tendrils could
be aware that the pole had been
placed there. They had to turr
away from the light to reach it, and
they set themselves in motion Wis
IDLY within a few minutes of the
pOle's being there"
