m the sou earth and essays an unsteady
progress down the line.
The policeman is in despair. The genus
common boy he has understood in every
subtlety of his thought and variety of its
manifestation. But this special creation,
that is half vertebrate and half inver-
tebrate, part boy and part devil, that
cuts pigeon wings under his very nose
and flies to safe distance to jeer at him,
this is something he never knew before.
At least he thinks he never did. He
thinks so every year. He will go on
thinking so every year, probably, as
surely as the year rolls round and the
circus comes again.
The small boy never knows the whole
of himself, never gets all there is out of
himself until then. The days of his life
go along, and there is the school and the
play of an ordinary prosaic kind. But
when the circus comes he comes into his
full inheritance. He realizes for a brief
while all that it means to be ''a soaring
! human boy" The circus strikes him in
the right place, as he would say. And
it strikes him right while he is there.
He came into the building in two
legged propriety. He goes out of it
wheeling along in hand and foot circles
on the ground.-New York Evening Sun.

A Puzzle for london.

An extraordinary affair at footing, a
suburb of London, has caused great ex-
citement. A retired gentleman named
Wargrave, aged fifty-one, has been lying
in bed since March 4, being to all appear
ances dead. The local authorities nat
urally asked why he had not been in
tered, to which his relatives said they
were afraid to bury him lest he prove to
be in trance. 1t appears that while
ago Wargrave expressed the wish that,
should he ever be found lying in bed I'M
conscious and apparently lifeless, his
burial be delayed as long as possible, as
a few years ago he was supposed to be
dead and all preparations for his funeral
had been made, when he recovered con-
sciousness just in the nick of time The
authorities are puzzled and may delay
interment until the signs of dissolution
are apparent. In the meantime the
facts have got abroad, and the residence
of the unfortunate gentleman is sur
rounded by curious crowds,-London

Cbrist,s Second Coming.

Professor G. A. L. Totten, of Yale, in
speaking of the publication of his recent
mathematical calculation, says:
"Some papers have published that I
predict the end Of the world within this
century. They mistake. That is their
error, not mine. I don't think that the
end will come for million years, and l
have not made any prophecy about it at
all. What l did declare was that ma
thema teal calculation founded on Bibli
Cal truths proves beyond peradventure
that the Messiah will come again before
the year 1900. don't mean by this that
l believe the millennium will begin in
1899. | think that is a thousand years
away. say simply that at his second
coming Christ will make the world bet
ter, as he did at his first"
Professor Totten is lieutenant in
the regular army and is detailed as a
military professor in Yale university. In
his prophecy regarding the second COM
ing of Christ he says:
GA generation in the true Biblical
sense is three score and ten years
seventy years-and so the fifty-seven
generations traced through the geneal-
ogies in the Old Testament equal
1890 years. Hence the ffty-eighth
generation began with 1891 (year of the
world) The hours mentioned in the
vineyard parable are each 1913 years. Null
tiplying these by the twelve hours. we
have 1886, which, added to 1891, equals
5,S27 years Of the world and the com
pletion of the vineyard parable. The s.
6954 years since the birth of Adam will
see the bridegroom, who, of course, is
none other than Christ himself. Now,

"Herod ordered all the innocents of
two years and younger to be put to
death, and in very short time after
that the eclipse Of the moon took place.
It took place in the year 1898, according
to Josephus, and Herod died in that year
too. Now Herod limited his order to
children of two years, because about two
years before that the Mungi informed
him of the birth of the Saviour. So
Christ was born about two years before
the eclipse, and the death of Herod oc-
CURED two years before 3998-that is,
1906. Now subtract 1896 (birth of
Christi from 5895t A. M. to find the A.

March, 1899, the bridegroom will come

Ecclesiastical Wheat Fields.

Some months ago Presiding Elder F.
A. Burdick called meeting of all the
Methodist pastors of the Aberdeen dis
trict in South Dakota, and put before
them the plan of sowing acres of wheat
for the liquidation of the church debts.
The pastors took to the idea, and after
talk with their people found the farmers
would furnish the land and do the work
if the church would furnish the seed.
The general societies of the church,
which have their headquarters in the
east, then took hold of the matter, and
shortly announced that the money for
the seed should be forthcoming.
The Rev. Mr.. Burdick said: eve hope
to have at least forty acres of wheat on
every charge in the Aberdeen district,
and on some as many as sixty. AS a
matter of fact the church at Bath has
already started the ball rolling with
sixty acres. The income from this source
will be applied altogether toward the
payment of church debts, and / conf

before another winter. Cor. Minneap-

Where the Census Is Unreliable.

The female age returns of the census
cannot be regarded as more than ap-
proximate. The extent of the falsifica-
ton of ages of girls and women cannot,
of course, be stated, but the tables for
the age period twenty to twenty-five are
probably the least to be depended upon.
1t is invariably found on examining the
tables of successive censuses that the
young women aged from twenty to
twenty-five are considerably more nu-
merous than the girls aged ten to fifteen,
ten years earlier, of whom they are pre-
sumably the surviving remainder! It
has been observed, too, that there is a
tendency to exaggeration Oh the part of
old persons uncertain of their age; and
of the al persons who claimed centen-
arian honors at the last census it is
doubtful whether many of them had
completed the hundredth year of life

A Faithful Express Messenger

There was hero in the accident on
the Boston and Albany railroad near
Westfeld Monday night. 1t was known
that the safe in the express company's
car contained $4,000. It is common
occurrence for big sums to be carried,
but on this night the amount was larger
than usual. Perhaps this was the motive
for the attempt to wreck the train. At
any rate Express Messenger Howard, of
Buffalo. took this view of it. When his
car left the track he remained at his post
He drew two revolvers and held the car
against al s'1laers. He would not allow
even the CONDUCTOR to enter.-Albany

Helping Electric Cars Uphill.

At Seattle there is about to be put into
operation a novel method of running
electric cars up steep grades. The
electric railway there has a very
steep grade about 800 feet long, and
it has been found that the motors
on the cars are inadequate to sur
mount the hill. To correct the difficulty
a small conduit about two feet square is
constructed, and in this is to run small
car as a counter balance. Two ropes
will be attached to the counter balance
car at the top. When an ordinary car
is attached to the rope the counter bal
ance car runs down the hill, but when
the car reaches the top Of the hill it runs
down on the other side, and aided by the
motor, it pulls up the counter balance
car which is now ready to take up an
other car.-Boston Transcript.

The Small Boy in Spring.

There is something the matter with
the small boy just now. Perhaps that
isn't just the phrase to use, because that
seems to imply that he is in some way
guilty of blame, whereas possibly his
present condition may simply be the
natural one, which an unkindly civiliza-
ton has thwarted and kept from being
permanent one, as nature intended. He
no longer walks on his feet with his head
in the air: he walks on his hands, with
his feet swinging clunsily above him.
He would walk on his head, if he could.
In default Of that, he sands there when
he is obliged to stand It all. He turns
handsprings, he jumps he flies. He
makes another boy subsequent unto him
self and enthrones himself upon his
shoulders. He rigs up aperilous trapeze
across the fence tops il the back yard.
He plants a long row of inverted bottles

Expert Testimony in a Suit for Possession
of q Mare.
BENJAMIN Guthrie and Bach, Cory g. Co.,
had a curious suit before Judge Woodman
yesterday for the ownership of a mare.
Guthrie says the mare belonged to him.
having been purchased from a man in Mis-
souri, Valley. 1t ran away from him about
a year ago. The man from Missouri VAL
ley who sold Guthrie the mare was in Hell
ena not long q and saw an animal in one
of Bach, Cory d Co.'s wagons which he
recognized a. the one he had sold. Guthrie
was informed and brought suit for the
mare. 1t was in evidence that Bach. Cory
& Co., bought the animal from w. II. Con-
cannon, who lives near Boulder. last May.
Concannon swore he had bought the mare
nine years agofrom parties in Oregon. She
was then four years old. There was a
multitude of witnesses as to the
ownership of the animal. One side swore
positively to Guthrie's ownership, and the
other side was just as certain the mare be-
longed to C%oncannon. 1t was very appar-
ent to the Judge that the parties and their
witnesses were all sincere in their beliefs as
to who owned the disputed property. Under
this condition of affairs the issue dwindled
down to q matter of age. Experts were pro.
cured and though they disagreed in regard
to the exact age of the mare, they were
pretty nearly unanimous that she was not
over nine or ten. According to Concannor
she must nave been thirteen. Judge
Woodman decided in favor of Guthrie fol
1926 damages n $118.75 as the cost OF the
mare. An appeal was taken.

Carmen, as done by the kimball Opera
ComiQue and Burlesaue company, Is no way
similar to the production of Carmen Up to
Date, now being presented by the London
Gaiety company at their theater on the
other side. 1t is an entirely original con-
struction conceived by Mrs. Jennie KIM
ball, who feeling that Corinne had never
had a good opportunity to display her abil-
ity, and recognizing in her temperament
and appearance the advantages OF which she
would be possessed in assuming the role OF
Carmen, determined to deliberately pro-
duce a bnrlesque of the opera. Tit pro-
duction was SO successful that 1t became
quite the craze in New York. Corinne's
Spanish dances are said to have been the
talk of tho town. The company now EN-.
braces sixty, and among them are some OF
the most prominent artists of the burlesque
line in America. The famous Toreador
song is rendered by the popular baritone.

ioue and B~urlesque company in her great

yielded a large revenue.
William Fellows accused Oliver Glass

locked Fellows up. The matter was ex-
planned to the judge yesterday morning
and he thought Fellows had lost enough
money and dismissed him.
