"The Silent Dane"

In his early manhood Moltke was
called "The Silent Dane" and later he
was popularity known as "The Great
Taciturn;" yet he could speak seven
languages fuently. Although one of the
worlds profoundest and sternest soldiers,
he was one of the most modest and affec-
tionate of men. Occasionally one might
see him in Berlin driving in a plain cab,
or sauntering along principal street
looking in at the shop windows, but few
recognized him. He was as regular as
the sun in his daily tasks; and even in
the lighter employments oil his long life
he was ever painstaking and methodical.
Out of these traits grew, withal, his fine
literary ability, that, besides his pub
lished letters, produced several valuable
military histories.
The crowning honor of his life was
the way Germany celebrated the compile
tion of his ninetieth year. From the
Baltic to the Alps, from the Vosges to
the Vistula, every household joined in
the great jubilee, hung out the national
colors and likcnesses of Moltke in flags
and torches. Berlin was decorated and
enthusiastic as it had never before been
for any private citizen. Germans
throughout the world set apart October
26, 1890, as fete day for the Water
land, aud day of praises and congratu-
lations for her greatest soldier. The
grim old Field Marshal was taciturn, al
most by necessity, being nearly smoth-
cred by honors and rich presents; but
when the city fathers of Berlin sent him
their greetings, accompanied by the
sum of fifty thousand marks as a charity
fund for the relief of the aged and in
firm, he replied: "Gentlemen, say to
your Council that this gift touches my
heart, and that of the many and rich
presents l have received to-day, this is
the most valued" When, since the
death of Washington, has the world seen
a more modest, complete, successful and
noble life9-Hayper's Weekly.

The Reward of S0gaciiy,

One of the stories they tell of cold
Hutch, the grain speculator, to illustrate
his sagacity in discovering pecunlary
opportunities is this: He noticed the
windows of a big carpet store decorated
with placards stating that prices were re.
duced, as the whole stock of the con-
Germ was to be closed out. Struck with
a sudden idea he went in, asked the
price of several lines of goods, the
quantities in stock and the original prices.
Having indeed gone practically through
the place he sent for the heads of the
firm and c0olly made them lump sum
oller for the whole stock, goodwill and
fixtures of the concern. The bid was
accepted, and "Old Hutch" at once gave
his check. Then, without leaving the
place, he sent for relative, who, by the
way, was in another line of trade, and
informed him that he wanted him to
take charge of his new acquisition and
run it, adding: "At the prices l paid
there is money in it." Events proved
the correctness OF Hutchinson sjudgment,
and the business so summarily purchased
is still in successful operation.

Sleeps Wool Sponge.

There is on exhibition at a store in
Pearl street, New York, an enormous
sleeps wool sponge, which is said to be
the largest one ever obtained. 1t meas
ures ten feet in circumference and is two
feet thick, being quite solid throughout.
1t was fished up near the Bahama Islands
by the crew of vessel engaged in that
trade, and, judging by the stories of the
fishermen, they had tough time in get
ting their prize aboard. Being in
small dingey when the hooks fastened
themselves in the sponge, the men nearly
upset their boat in the effort to haul the
sponge to the surface. When it was
finally secured, the iron prongs of tho
hook had become Strengthened out un-
der the tremendous weight. When thor
oughly soaked this monster sponge is said
to hold ten pailfuls of water.-Times-

Ancient Man in the Mississippi Valley.

Let us now take the antiquity of clas-
sical lore and see how it compares with
that of the American continent, as evil
denced by our mysterious mounds, and
the indications of great and glorious
past set forth by our lost and ruined cit
les, as well as by the fossil remains
brought to light through the researches
of Agassiz and Others eminent in science
and archaeology. In the "Types of Man.
kind" PIP. 1877, 13S, we have the follow.
ing:
"In digging for the gas-works at New
Orleans, sixteen feet below the surface,
beneath the fourth forest-level, burnt
wood was found and the skeleton of Il
man."
DR.. Bennett Dowler, in his "Tableaux
of New Orleans" goes into a calculation
which proves it correct, that the fourth
cypress forest level must have been
formed 81, 600 years ago, and that con-
sequently the skeleton had been roposing
where it was found for that period of
time. Such of the mounds OF the Mis-
sissippi Valley as have been explored
have clothed us with prehistoric past
the most mysterious and overwhelming.
They reveal another page in the history
and chronology of the world-a strange
civilization of a great people that had
passed away thousands of years before
that mummy had ''walked about in
Thebes's streets. .-Belf0rd.

Hail in Europe.

The record of injury from hail in
Wurtemberg for sixty years QS2S.S7J
has been investigated by Herr Buhler.
The yearly average of days with hail is
found to be thirteen, July having the
largest number of any month and June
the next. About 092 per cent. Of the
cultivated land was affected, damage be.
ing done to the extent of $500, 600. OF
seventeen hail'storm paths made out,
one very often taken is from Scheer tc
Ulm on the Danube, forty-fiye miles long
and ten wide, The paths are all con,
nected with the confguration of the
ground. Slopes with western exposure
suffer more than those with an eastern,
while plains are much less affected than
hilly ground. No evidence appears OF
increase in the fall of hail in the course
of decades, and the much mentioned in
fluence of forests is not distinctly proven.

IT'S SWEET TO REST.

When in the early dawn of life
The childish hands grow tired Of play,
Then from the nursery din and strife
The baby feet speed fast away
And never cease until they find
That mothers door is open wide;
And tightly clasped in arms 20 kind
The little one doth now abide;
What cares he now, her baby boy,
His weary head is on her breast,
To him the world is naught but joy;
For now he knows "'Tis sweet to rest y
Years pass. He's now in middle life,
His youthful joys have fed away,
His soul Is rent by care and strife,
His hearts no longer young and gay;
The mother whom he loved so well
Has long since sought her home above,
His wife and child have gone to dwell
In realms of everlasting love;
He's lonely, weary, and in vain
His feelings he has long suppressed;
For now they all rise up again
And tell him that, "'Tis sweet to rest" :
But quick lead on, good Father Time,
Who can that aged stranger be2
See now the hillside he doth climb,
And now sinks down all wearily.
His hoary head is bent and gray,
The Pickering spark of life is gone,
His sorrowing soul has passed away;
And now his weary toll is done,
He sleeps the sleep of peace and JOY,
He's gone to lie ON Gods dear breast,
The mothers come to take her boy
To where tits ever sweet to rest

Greenlnnd's Dust.

The cosmic dust collected by Norden-
skiold in Greenland in 1888 has been
submitted to scientific examination, and
found to consist chiefly of feidspar,
quartz, mica and hornblende, with a
smaller proportion of some other com
mon minerals, nitrogenous organic sub.
stance, and some particles similar to
those obtained in deep sea soundings. It
is believed that the last-named material
has come from space, and that the other
substances have been carried in the air
from a region of crystalline schists. If
the dust taken from the Greenland snow
represents the fall of one year, the total
annual fall on the earth's surface is equiv.
alent to a cube of thirty one yards on a

Washington is the only city of a
quarter of million inhabitants in the
Union that has no factory girls. The
lack of manufacturing and commercial
enterprises reduces the working women
to a mirimum. A few are employed in
retail stores, Photographic galleries and
private offices, but the majority who
earn their living are in politics. An
other novelty is the total absence of tene-
ment house life. Even the poorest little
colored nanny has house of her own,
where she reigns queen Of the castle and
high priestess of her daughters children.
