special State institutions for young women
was regarded as premature step by the
government, and was refused. Favorable
action on the latter part of the petition
will, however, render it possible for every
young German woman to try for the hon
ors of graduation. The standard Of the
German gymnasium is about a. high ss
the standard of Hamilton or Union COL
legs.
The intelligent compositor sometimes
does more good than harm, but he does
not often perpetrate a more bene6cient
blunder than was committed in Brooklyn
the other day, the outcome of which was
the reconciliation of husband and wife
who had become seriously estranged. At
ter domestic quarrel of a strenuous ma
ture the man betook himself to news
paper Office, where he wrote an advertise
ment stating that he would not be respon
sible for his wife's debts. Desiring two
insertions of it, he wrote over it: "For
two days" When the "ad." appeared, it
announced that for two days only he would
not be responsible as aforesaid. The wife
saw it of course ami was so greatly struck
by its comical aspect that she forthwith
sought her irate husband, and in short
time they peacefully buried the hatchet.
In q London paper an account is given
of some experiments with boilers in which
the difficulty of shortness of water being
met by turning on feed water is illus
trated For this purpose boiler was con-
structed, and the tests were conducted
under conditions closely appro1imsting to
those of everyday work. The furnaces
were barred of water by opening the blow
off cock and allowing the water to escape
while good bright fires were burning,
which could not fail to heat the plates.
When sufficiently heated to melt disks of
lead, tin and zinc, the feed was suddenly
turned on, through special pipes, which
injected the water directly on to the heat
ed plates, but in no case-as is often as
sumed-was this followed by a sudden
generation of steam at an excessive pres
sure, but in one instance a reduction of
pressure actually took place, this, how
ever, being clearly proved to be due to
not turning on the feed soon enough.

From the American A Agr5culIurisi-
Every one who has a garden, or a tasts
for flowers, knows the tuberose- The cul-
tivation of the bulbs Was, for many yeArs,
confined principallyto to the italian nursery
men, but for the last twenty-five years
they have been grown in this country.
AT the present time the markets of the
world are largely supplied with American
grown bulbs. The tuberose is & gross
feeder, and succeeds best in light loan,
but will grow in any soil, providing it is
moist and rich; rich it must be regardless
of other conditions; its complete requi-
sites being heat, water ard manure. If
these are proportionate il matters not how
much there may be, the plants will con-
sumo il, and by their growth show Its in
portapce. For field culture prepare the
ground as for a crop of potatoes; plant in
drills thirty inches apart and place the
bulbs four inches apart in the drills, three
inches below the surface. Keep the culti-
Tator constantly going. not to kill weeds
SO much as to make tuberose bulbs. After
a frost take up the bulbs, cut the tops to
within two inches of the crown and store
them in dry room where the temperature
does not fall below forty degrees From
North Carolina southwark small sets will
make Towering bulbs in one season. At
the north two years are required. For
blooming in the garden the sets should be
carefully taken off and the bulbs put
away until the wounds have dried over:
then plant in good, rich soil, placing the
bulb just below the surface: if covered
too deeply they are not as likely to flower.

AN EXPENSIVE COW.
How General AIger Repaid the Man
Who Gave Him an Education.
From the Chicago Mail


Who Gave Him an Education.
From the Chicago Mail.
At the fat-stock show several Worlds
Fair commissioners were discussing the
high prices commanded by first-class stock
nowadays. Several instances were cited
in which q single animal had brought a
sum which a few years ago would have
been pronounced fabulously large. 'I
recall one instance" remarked one of the
gentlemen, sin which an ordinary milch
cow, without any pedigree whatever,
brought price which compares very IA
vorsbly with the cases we have mentioned.
years ago General Russell A Alger, of
Detroit, lately the commander-in-chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, was a
youngstsr without cent and with but one
suit of clothes. He wanted to attend
school and went to a physician who lived
in the village to ask for chance to work
for his board. The doctor did not need
the services of a boy, but he was so much
impressed with young Alger's earnestness
that he took him into his family circle and
sent him through school Alger did no
work except to take care of the doctors
horse and one COW.
"But time has wrought great changes.
Alger is now a millionaire, while his bsne-
factor is an old man in straitened financial
circumstances. One by one his children
have died, until he and his old wife have
been left alone. All offers of assistance
by General Alger have been refused, for
the old man is as proud as Lucifer him
self. In consequence Alger has been

tie roundabout ways, so that their source
could not be guessed Recently he visited
his old friend, determined to compel his
acceptance of more substantial aid than
he had been receiving.
"'Why, Alger, you don't owe me any
thing the old man said, and | won't &C
cept anything
'Bnt owe my education to you.'
"'Bosh! You owe that to yourself
"'But caused you trouble and expense,
for which l want to repay yon.'
The trouble needn't trouble you, and
there wasn't much expense to speak of.
In fact the only expense that you caused
me, SO far as can recollect, is the loss of
a COW. Do you know, Alger, when you
came to live with me had the best cow in
these parts, and that your swkwardness
completely spoiled herl Well, it did.
Within three weeks you had made her so
skittish that no one could go near her, and
I had to sell her for beef
"'Well, then, l owe you for that cow,
don't II And I'm going to pay you fer
her and will add a little interest for the
use of The money for about forty years
''After long course of argument the
old gentleman finally consented, very re-
luctantly, to accept pay for his cow. And
the price paid for that ordinary grade COW
is sufficient to support her former owner
in fair circumstances during the remain
| der of his lifetime. She was very eI-
peusiye cow"

GIVE THE YOUNG MEN A CHANCI

GIVE THE YOUNG MEN A CHANCE.
Hon. J. S. Clarkson, president of the
new Republican National League, knows
something about the political situation in
the United States, and therefore what he
has to say concerning it is interesting.
While admitting that there is an even bal
ance between the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, and that for few years past the
Democrats have shown more energy in Or
ganization, distribution of campaign litera-
ture, and partisan newspapers and the like,
he maintains that a little more active work
only is necessary to weigh the balance over
to the Republican side. Above all. he ad-
vises tho Republican party to do more to
interest the young men, and to give them
more responsibility than in the past. 1t is
an undeniable fact that their careful atten-
tion to the wishes and needs of many
of the ambitious young men of the
country has had marked effect in
strengthening the hands of the Democrats
in recent years. Mr.. Clarkson is thor
ough believer in Republican clubs, espe-
cially young mems Republican clubs, and
advocates their formation in every intelli-
gent neighborhood throughout the coun.
try. The small villages and farming COM
munities, he is convinced, care hungry fol
social life, and the average community has
little or none of the social organizations. u
Republican clubs in such localities might
be utilized in various social ways, with the
political ends in view; "the average young
man of intelligence and ambition would
| rather be president of club, or captain o.
a marching company, than to hold al
Office with salary"
This is good advice, although we thinl
that Mr.. Clarkson rather undertakes the am
bition of the young man. He wants his full
share of the salaried Offices, and is no
content with glory alone.

A physician thus defines a blush: ga
blush is q temporary erythema and calo-
rife effulgence of the physiognomy. eti-

other cause, eventuating in psresis of the
vaso-motor capillaries, whereby they are
suffused with radiant, erated, compound
nutritive circulating liquid, emanating
from an intimidated pr@cordia." No won
der some girls find it hard to blush.
Henry Hertz, professor of physics in
the university of Bonn, whose remarkable
discoveries in electricity have given him a
place in Germany similar to that held by
Edison in this country, is a young man
hardly over thirty-four years old. After
studying civil engineering, and finding il
distasteful, he completed the two years
term of military service required in the
fatherland, and then began studying cleo
tricity with Professor Helmholz at Berlin
whose assistant he finally became. His
researches look beyond the dynamo and
the carbon, and aim to discover NOR,
economical methods of developing electric
energy.

NOT CROWDINC YET.

NVA INV ~ DAN~
DR.. Herman Hollerith has been studying
the population of this country, and his
conclusions will cheer those who have
feared that in a few years there would not
be room enough here for those who would
be here. It has been assumed because the
growth in population of the United States
was exceedingly rapid in the early years of
this century it should be equally rapid at
the present time, and estimates founded
upon what is termed the natural increase
are proved by the experience of recent de-
cennial censuses to be exaggerated and
misleading. Thus in the decade 1S2O-1830
the per cent. of increase for population,
excluding immigration, was more than 80,
while in the decade 1880 1890 the increase,
excluding immigration, was suly little
over IA per cent. Furthermore, it is
found that the average number of per-
sons married to 1000 living WAS, in the
two decades from 1955-1s74, about 20 per
cent, while from 1S75-1SS4 it was only
little over II per cent The birth rate de-
creased from about thirty-nine in thou
sand throughout the country in 1840-1850
to 30 per cent. in 19SO-1S90, while the
death rate in the two periods given ap-
proximately increased from 13 per cent. to
Is per cent. Here we have the statistical
result Of fewer marriages, fewer births
and relatively larger number of deaths,
all of which would tend to explain why it
is that, excluding immigration, the growth
in population of the United States makes
but slow advance, when compared with
the tremendous headway of former years.
Thus do things tend to regulate them
selves, while alarmists are looking about
for some means of regulating them.

mon. Instead, they have TO lie down and
be patient while they are washed by their
attendants They turn themselves about
very promptly to suit their convenience.
The attendant rubs the hide with piees
of stone instead OF sponge, and If the
stone slips oar of his hand the elephant
politely picks it up with his trunk and
hands it back After they have been well
scrubbed the elephants give themselves
shower bath, using their trunks TO dash
the water upon themselves, and they can
hit any part of their bodies with ease.
After the bath they form into row, side
BY side, ready for breakfast Each elephant
has five bundles Of straw at this meal, and
each bundle has TWO pounds OF rice IN 1t.
These bundles are laid down before the
elephants. But they are not permitted TO
help themselves, because they would spill
and scatter the rice. At the word Feed
