Teaching u Girl q Lesson.

She happened to catch a Greene ard
Gates avenue car that was crowded with
business men on their way to the bridge
and sprinkling of women and school
boys She looked around in vain for a
seat, but the men had their noses buried
in newspapers and possibly did not see
her. She stood almost directly in fro:,tt
of gallant schoolboy who was studying
Caesars Gallo Wars" and he arose and
proffered his seat. The young woman
without even a nod of acknowledgment,
Topped down with an injured express
sion, as though she was just inheriting
her rights, which she should have come
into long ago.
EXCUSE me-" said the youth, mis-
chievous twinkle illuminating his eyes,
"but think left one of my books on
the seat"
At this point everybody looked up,
seemingly all at once, and saw the young
woman rise, and the young man reseat
himself, with a very audible ''Thanks."
That young woman's embarrassment
was painful. Everybody was smiling.
and not a few old codgers chuckled. 1t
was. q cruel thing to do, and, as the
young fellow says, he did it all on the
spur Of the moment, and would proba-
bly, not have done it had he thought
twice. However, he has evidently taught
one young woman the appropriateness
Of gratitude, even in small things

London Children Have to Work Hard.
The testimony of Mr.. Lakeman, fac
tory inspector, before the committee on
the store hours bill sitting at London
revealed the terrible fact that the ordi
nary time of boys and girls behind the
counter is eighty-four hours a week, o,
fourteen hours day. But he knows OF
neighborhoods where the stores are
kept open for ninety-six hours a week,
or an average of sixteen hours a day.
All the employees are expected to be
present during the whole day, beginning
at 6 a. m. and lasting till 10 at night.
The lower the neghborhood the longer
the hours during which the stores are
kept open. In some parts where labor.
ers dwell stores will be open on Satur.
days from = a. m. till midnight. Mr..
Lakeman said that an@1nia, dyspepsia,
and even varicose veins were produced
in girls of sixteen to eighteen years
through long hours in stores. On busy
days the employees were not allowed
more than ten minutes for dinner out of
their sixteen hours of work day and
no time for tea. The majority of store
keepers, he said, would hail with joy a
law enforcing uniform limit Of keep
ing stores open.-Chicago Herald.

Only One Poisonous Snake in England.
OF the 1900 different species OF snakes
which are now known to naturalists. the
great majority are not poisonous, and of
the four kinds of snakes, or snakelike
creatures, which inhabit England, only
one is venomous. This distaste for SER
pents which most persons experience,
gives way in many instances to q feeling
Of interest as soon as, without risk or
danger, they become better understood.
The collection Of animals at the London
Geological gardens has now for many
years included q considerable number of
snakes, and SO has greatly helped to diff
fuse a more rational sentiment in their
regard. But much yet remains to be
effected before that admiration for SER
pents, which their beauty and the many
points Of interest they possess really call
for, IS felt by educated persons in gem
eral.-Guarterly Review.

Value of Exports.

NatlOnal Bulletin
The statement of value of exports
for the twelve months ending March
81, 1892, shows an amount that is IN
precedented in the history Of the COM
MERGE of the United States, for it is
the first time in the history of our
government that the exports Of the
country for twelve months have
reached the magnificent sum of$10,000
100000, and this statement shows
that the exact amount was $10,O06,-
234, 506. This is wonderful show
ing and has exceeded the expectations
of the most sanguine.
The total value of foreign COM
merce for twelve months ending
March 81, 1892, imports and exports
combined, was s1.849,343,O91, so that
it will be seen that this is not only
a billion-dollar country, but nearly a
two billion-dollar country, and in
spite of all predictions to the contrary
there has been a wonderful increase
in our foreign commerce during the
past year under the Mckinley tariff,
which the Democrats said would ruin
foreign trade.
1t is an interesting fact that our
exports during the past twelve months
have increased 14.4O per cent. over
the prior twelve months. It appears
from British authorities that their ex-
ports have decreased sc per cent. dur
ing the calendar year 1891, and their
leading men are wondering why their
commerce languishes. The United
States to-day is more prosperous than
any other country on the globe. The
Mckinley tariff took up the slack in
the >protectiveEsystem; and put things
in good shape

Must Nelson be ostracised, read
out of the party and consigned to
political oblivion because he had the
manhood to voice the sentiments OF a
majority Of his constituents in the
halls Of congress in 1888?-Princeton
Union.
The above is part of a defense
made for Nelson for his vote on the
Mills bill. The Republican district
convention that met few weeks be-
fore the vote on the Mills bill and
nominated Nelson's successor, passed
the following as one Of its resolutions:
"That we regard the so:called Mills
bill as presented in congress as sub
terfuge designed only to deceive, and
fraught with mischief, bearing upon
its-face the unmistakable evidence OF
having been prepared solely in the
spirit Of sectional interest, carefully
guarding the interests of one section
of the country at the expense Of
another, and we regret that the party
in power refuses to meet the question
Of tariff reduction in fair and manly
spirit"
It would saved the Republicans Of
this district and state much embar.
rassment, and Mr.. Nelson much mer'
tied criticism if he had followed the
expressed opinion of his constituents
and opposed the bill they denounced
No one wants to read Nelson out Of
the party, but it does seem better te
nominate for governor some man who
represents the principles of the party
and who takes more active interest in
the party's success.

.ERAINERD,s BONDING SCHEME.

Grow Wing county will hold an el-
ection on June I to vote on the pro-
position to issue 100000 in bonds
for the building of a logging railroad
from that city to the pineries, the
contract being that ii the railroad
bonus is voted IL very large saw mill
will be built Siat that city for the
Northern Mill Co. The following
from the: Brainerd Journal will give
slight glimpse Of the great benefits
to follow rapidly:
"rha Improvements which will be
made here this year and next, if the
bond proposition carries, will add a mil
lion dollars to the assessment rolls,
and will cut down taxation twenty
five per cent. If the mill and rail
way are built, it will be much easier
to get other concerns established here.
we are practically sure OF large
sash, door and blind factory, a very
large pulp and paper mill, two -four
ing mills, one of which will be very
large, having a capacity of about
1900 barrels day, large stave fac
tory and cooper shop, and number
of other concerns. Brainerd will be
the best market in Northern Mime
sofa for the farmers, there will be
work for everybody, both city and
farm property will boom in value,
and an era Of prosperity, such as we
have never before known, will start
in.
The election on the bond question
will take place about June 1. The
board of county commissioners has
been called to meet in special session
on Tuesday, May II, and Immediately
afterwards the election will be called
and notices posted according to law
The notices have to be posted ter
days before the election"

Veterans Route to the EncampMent.

Veterans going to the G.. A. r. En-
campment at Washington in Septem-
Der via B. &. O. r. R. will traverse
territory traught with thousand
"reminiscences of the conflicts in
which they figured So gallantly.
Along Cheat river, on the western
sloop OF the Alleghanies, they will
pass the scenes of Gen. McClellan's
victories over Gen. Floyd in the early
stages of the WaE At Grafton they
will pass near the battlefield of Phil
ippi. At Piedmont they will enter
the historic Potomac valley, which
was debatable ground all the way
to Washington. The towering
mountains, which shut in the valley,
echoed and re-echoed almost hourly
with the roar of canon and musketry
The mountain tops witnessed the
engagements at Martinsburg, Antie-
tam, Sharpsburgh, South Mountain,
Monacacy, Balls Bluff, Leesburg,
Dranesville, Chantilly, Centreville
and the hundreds ofskirmishes along
the hillsides and IN the valleys. At
the foot of the mountains, along the
banks Of the Potomac, paced thesol-
itary sentry, protecting often the
tracks and the trains OF the B. & O..
r. R., which the government zeal
ously guarded as the great highway
of communication between the West
and the National Capital, and which
is the best known route to the East
to thousands OF veterans who travel
ed over it early in the sixties as raw
recruits to join the ranks. And the
Potomac! What mememOries it's
mention awakens! And Harper's
Ferry too! There stood John
| Browns old Fort. Where Stone
wall Jackson performed his great ex-
ploits. 1t was near there where Lee
crossed the Potomac into Maryland
and then invaded Pennsylvania to
meet the repulse at Gettysburgh
At Harper's Ferry begins thefamous
Shenandoah valley which is penetra-
ted from end to end by the 3. & o,
R. R., bringing into easy access the
battlefields at Winchester, Kerns-
town, Opequan, Cedar Greek, Fishers
Hill, Front Royal, New Market,
Harrisonburg, Cross Keys, Port Re-
public, Waynesboro, and Mcdowell.
What memories OF heroism. of forced
marches, of victories and defea is
these names recall! And with them
come trooping with the past the
names OF Sheridan, of Pope, Of Banks
of Fremont, OF Shields, of "Stone
wall' Jackson, of Lee, of Ashby, anG
OF Early
1t is only by the B. & O. R. r. that
these famous battle fields can bt
reached. During the encampmen1
excursions will be run to them daily
from Washington at greatly reduced
rates. Excursions will also be rur
to Gettysburg, to Manassas, to Bull
Run, to Fredericksburg and Other
Virginia battletields.
