than American, English and lrish work men. They wanted men who would work for any mere pittance they might choose to give, and they got them. But now they find that these men are much more difficult to manage than intelligent and reasonable workingmen and that when they are dissatisfied they resort to violence much more readily than men who have lived for some time under American indus trial influence and legal institutions.
 The officers of the German army do not always, or perhaps usually, treat those under them very we'll. Curt Abel, retired corporal in the Wurtemberg contingent of the German army, has been condemned to fourteen days arrest by a court martial in Freiberg. AbeFs offence was that he ex- posed the abuses practised by German officers on German privates and enumer- ated in several sensational pamphlets cases in which soldiers had been beaten, burned with cigars, and cut with knives, by Ieutenants in command of them. The ostensible season of his punishment, how ever, was that he had observed these abus- es without reporting them. Abers trial and sentence have aroused much indigna- ton in all the German liberal dailies which consider his treatment matter of intimi.

SOME FRENCH PATRIOTS.

SOME FRENCH PATR1OTS.
 This isn't the only country where office seekers are numerous. statement recently published by the Prefecture of the Seine in Paris shows that Frenchmen like to work for the public. For 1,5OO positions which became vacant, or are soon to be vacant, there is in round numbers 46, 900 applications on record, an average of 31 candidates for each position. For the 12 places as under-clerks in the differ ent departments there are 3, 126 applicants, and for as messengers 3,314 or 82S for each vacancy, while for 165 as inspectors of the Octroi, or city tax, there were 2,773 candidates. In the schools supported by the Prefecture there is almost an equal dis proportion. For 42 vacancies among the male teachers 1,S47 candidates presented themselves; 5,139 persons are on record as applicants for 54 vacancies among the female teachers, and for places as jani- tors of schools 2, ,643 men and women are seeking. In this department, however, is found the solitary position which no one seems to want; it is that of instructor of manual labor in the primary department, for which no one has asked In the lower branches of city work the demand for places is almost as great. In the street cleaning work there are 7,110 candidates for 750 appointments, while 750 persons have asked for what seems the undesirable position of workman in the sewers, where there are seventeen vacancies.
 Thus the Frenchman seeks the office ip- stead of waiting for the office to seek him. In this he is much like other men.

The Deserted Farm. .

A dust-worn traveller draws his rein At sunsets dreamy hour, With longing look OCT hill and plain Gives sway to memory's power. Long years have passed since last he viewed His native heath and hill, And silence now with shadowy brood Makes nature wierdly still. There stands the homestead of his youth, And clustering round it's door Come visions bright of love and truth From memors's endless store. He sees again his fathers form Within the doorway stand, His thin locks, whitened by the storm. Mother and sisters, brothers. there Resume their wonted place, And lost awhile in scenes so fair He sees each loving face. But wakened from his blissful dream, The past returns no more; Alone he stands while sunsets gleam Casts shadows on the door. Deserted now its windows blank Stare at the passer-by, And weeds and grasses stale and rank In wind-swcpt chaos lie. No more from pastures green, at night, To farm-yard come the kline, Nor homeward come with hearts so light The boys of ''auld lang syne.'' No neighing steed from wonder stall Impatient calls his mate; The shades of night around him fall And all is desolate. He turns again-with lingering look Surveys the old domain, He hears the murmuring of the brook Which onward seeks the plain; His old New England hillside home, Amid the gathering gloom The wanderer turns once more to roam And leaves it to it's doom. The signing winds requiem sing Amid the cheerless calm, A saddened memory still to bring The old deserted farm.''

History of the Turkey.


 The turkey is lineal descendant from the wild North American species, which was found in Mexico by the Spaniards at the time of the conquest, both wild and domesticated. The Spanish sailors and soldiers introduced it into the West India islands under the name of pavon, or pea cock.
 From the West Indies the bird was taken to Spain, where it was called pavon de las Indias. The French called it dindon, a contraction of coq d'Inde. Evidently the East Indies were confounded with the West, for when this foul was introduced into Germany it was known as the Cali cut hen"
 Major w. Ross King says that the bird was introduced into England about 1520 to 1524, and that it received the name which it has since borne simply because it was then the custom to refer the origin of all strange and foreign articles to Turkey. It would not be at all surprising to find all the trade with Mediterranean ports at that time credited to that country. Readers will recall how in the time of the Crusades, few centuries before, it had been the practice to speak of all Moham medan people as Saracens, while the fact was that that people were but a small tribe in Arabia. The instances are guits parallel.
 When the fowl was brought to this country, its original home, it kept tho name which had been given it in England and more than that it gave this name tC | the undomesticated variety, which ha, since been known as the wild turkey. Tn, circle was completed, and a bird that be | longed exclusively to this continent, with out having gone away from its home at all | got credit for having been brought iron the east. It is good example of the con fusion of names likely to occur almost any | where.

The New Money Fad.

"Can you give me S200 in new moneyf' inquired young man at the teller's win dow in one of the big banks in New York few days ago. ''Mr. wants it for his wife,
 Certainly" replied the teller, recogniz- ing in the applicant the confidential clerk of one of the banks heaviest dspositors The money was handed out in clean, crisp tens and lives that had never been in circu- lation. After the young man had gone the teller remarked to the writer: ''That new money fad is on the increase Just as soon as man begins to feel little tony he gets the notion that no member of his family ought to handle the soiled and crumpled currency in general circulation. When the madame goes a-shopping she must have her purse filled with brand new bills
 Many persons explain their mania for new money on the theory that there is con- tagion in the much handled b;lls They seek to keep disease away from their fam fly circle by excluding, to as full an extent as possible, all money that has been in cir culation. They keep supply of new bills of various denominations constantly on hand, and the ladies of the household feel that they are thus we'll protected against contagion." Most of the new money is procured directly from the banks, but there are frequent individual applications at the sub-treasury for new bills and new coin. When the sub-treasury has an abundance of small denomination bills on hand such applications are unhesitatingly complied with.

SARAH BERNHARDT,s SNAKE.
What It Is and What the Celebrated
 Actress Calls It.
From the London Truth

From the London Truth
 The snake chosen by Sarah Bernhardt to serve as her executioner is of the "blind worm" species, and is known in France as an orvet It is pretty creature, which may be found on the tops of old walls sun- ming itself. The back is dark green, with metallic hues that are in certain lights irri- descent. Sarah's snake is called by her Iris.
 Cleopatra being now good deal before the public as topic of theatrical interest, the Egyptian coins struck in her reign which are in the numismatic department of the National library are greatly run upon there. They show her when she was, re- spectively, wife and queen regent. One sees her at all ages from her early teens to almost the close of her reign. Cleopa- tra. on these coins and medels, isfar nearer to Sarah Bernhardt than to Mrs Langtry. She is almost spare in figure when young, and at all times 1.-the. The neck remained young to the last. Had she lived till 30 she might have looked little like Prince Napoleon, the mouth aaAechin having a Mother Hubbard tendency to meet. The full, luscious lips, resembling those of a Somai woman's do not mitigate much the hardness of the physiognomy. It is a strange contenance and one easy to read. The forehead bulges out at the eyebrows. Its prominence here gives it a singular ir- regularity, producing the effect almost of smaller head growing out of larger one. love was represented by Greak sculptors with such forehead, but on a more mas- | sive scale The eye is greatly in shadow, and almost sinister, it having the expres- sion of snakes when a bird is to be charmed.

THE NEW PANAMA CANAL PLA1

THE E NEW PANAMA CANAL ELAN.
 The Panama canal scheme once more sticks it's head above water, or mud. The canal was to be completed in 1893 unless the Colombian government extended the time for six years. Lieutenant Wyse has obtained 8 new concession, and the plan now contemplates the use of the lock sys- tenn in the canal, with plenty of time in which to complete it, which is estimated at about ten years. Already some $156,- OOO,OO0 has been expended iii building the canal, but the commission of engineers sent out by the receiver of the old com pany has reported that at least s1S0, ,000, 900 more would be required to finish it by the lock system. Toward this sum the old company had last March $3,20O,0 900 in cash; an interest in the railroad it's build ings, tools, machinery and the like on the isthmus. There are also a number of un- sold lottery bonds which were secured by deposits with the Credit Foncier in Paris,
 which in March had a par value of S13,- 0O0,000 To effect these assets there is a net indebtedness of at least $250, ,0O0, ,0O0,
 which must be assumed by any new com pany that succeeds to the rights of the old one in the work already accomplished.
 The new company will have it's hands full. The old company was not required to pay for the lands occupied by the canal, but the new one is, and must also pay the expense of maintaining such military and police force as may be necessary to main tain order. In addition to these payments a bonus of s2,0OO,0OO in five yearly in-
 stalments and s1 ,OOO, 900 in the preferred
 stock of the company must be given the Colombian government. It does not
 seem possible that with the experience oi | investors in the old company to face, and the progress and prospects of the Nicaragua canal scheme in view, the new company can inspire much faith, or se cure much money. Time will tell.

 There are nineteen millionaires in the United States whose combined wealth amounts to about SAC, 100000. It really seems as if there ought to be 8 better ap- preciation of sound financial principles in a body like this.
 We hear good deal about illiteracy in the South, but the other day a case came into the court at Northampton from Shutesbury, town only few miles from Amherst college, where, out of eight wit nesses, only three could write their names. They were not foreigners, either, but were native born and belonged to old American families.
 The plan arranged by MT. Benjamin, 8 San Francisco colored man, for divertine the negro exodus from the southern States and securing it for California, has some sense in it. It is proposed to try the col. ored people on the fruit-growing farms, be- ginning with the San Joaquin valley, where the fruit-growers agree to take them. Il is thought the children can pick grapes | and other fruit as we'll as they can picl cotton.
 Mrs. Mary McHenry Cox of Philadel phia expresses the opinion, based upon the results of personal visit to the two large Sioux reservations in South Dakota that the solution of the Indian problem would be greatly hastened in the righ direction by having the government dt away with the ration system and all annu ities of clothing, tools, etc., and pay thu Indians in cash whatever money is du, them. Mrs. Cox also urges the establish ment of wagon and tinsmith factory @ one of the Sioux agencies so that the boy can be employed.
