VIII the Coming Man sleep2

The electric light has apparently come
to stay, but more likely it will in good
time be replaced by something that as
far exceeds it as it beats the hallowed
tallow candle of our grandmothers.
Not only will the streets and shops and
dwellings be illuminated all night with
a splendor of which we can have hardly
a conception, but the country districts
as well; for it is now known that plants
(Which apparently are not creatures of
habit do not need sleep, and that by
continuous light the profits of agricul-
ture could be enormously increased
The farmers will no longer retire with
the lark, but will work night shifts, as
is already done in factories and mines.
and eventually work all the time, as
most of them would be glad to do now
in order to support the rest of us in the
style to which we have been accustomed.
On the whole, we think it not unrea-
souable to look forward with pleasant
anticipation to a time, some millions of
years hence, when the literature of sleep
will be no longer ineligible and the
people even of this country be sufficient
ly wide awake to prevent the 10 per cent.
of their number devoted to the patriotic
pursuits from plundering the other 90
per cent. and TO make the judges obey
the laws.-San Francisco Examiner.

Judge FuIler's school Days.

"Mell," as Chief Justice Fuller is
called by the people of Old Town, lived
in that city as schoolboy ten years. He
was a studious boy, and terror in
spelling schools and in the lyceum where
debates We're held. "Mell" took part
often against grown folks, and out of
one of those discussions there grew q
quarrel between man now an ex-judge
and the present chief justice that has
never healed. The ex-judgo was a
young school teacher then and "Mell'
was in the second class in the school. In
the lyceum one night the boy defeated
the teacher in debate and got some ap-
plause.
Full of wrath the teacher sneeringly
alluded TO his opponent as "tow headed
STRIPPING of a boy" Fuller retorted by
saying if his only fault consisted in be-
ing boy he thought "some time he
should be as big man as the teacher
thought himself to be, and that would
be great indeed" The teacher slammed
down his desk cover and then went
home. All that term he ignored Fuller
rs a scholar. When the ex-judge heard
that Fuller had become chief justice of
the United States he wanted to know
what in blanknation the people of this
country were thinking about.-Kenne

Flower

There is a gentle
Dyspepsia. man at Malden-on

named Captain A. G. Pareis, who
has written us letter in which it
is evident that he has made up his
mind concerning some things, and
this is what he says:

stantly in my house, and we consider
it the best remedy for Indigestion,

ON aha and the Grow.

There is probably no city in the United
States where the common wild crow
makes himself as much at home as in
Omaha. Here they are as common al
most as English sparrows or tame pig
cons, and evince about as little fear Of
man. All through the winter months,
especially when the ground is covered
with snow, this beautiful and intelli-
gent but very mischievous bird is a
common sight on our bystreets and
lanes, and often in the very dooryards
in the center Of the city. They seem abb
solutely without fear of man or boy,
and when busily engaged in the enjoy
ment of meal can be approached with
in few yards before they will take
wing. This is all very strange to people
who have lived in the eastern states,
where the crow il considered the shyest
and most wary of all wild birds.
Just now they are at their thickest in
and about Omaha, and great tiocks can
be seen every morning and evening fly
ing over tho city. In the evening their
line of fight is from the south and
southwest to the north and northeast.
In the morning they traverse the same
fight back again.
For years and years the birds have
roasted in the forest of low willows east
and north of Cut OF island, and when
the sable hosts are congregating thither
in the shades of evening the spectacle is
a wonderful one, Omaha's escutcheon
would certainly be incomplete without
the craven image of the cunning and in
dustrious crow upon it.-Omaha Bee.

Collecting sticks.

The newest and most popular fad
among young gentlemen who make any
pretension to fashion in dress is the col
lecting of all kinds of odd canes. One
young fellow, who started his collection
about five years ago-long before the
fad became popular-now has in his pos
session over twenty-five sticks, and many
of them are connected with events Of
historical Importance. He has one made
from timber of the old Merrimac and
another from the Kearsarge. Then there
is one made from n stick taken from the
belfry of Independence hall, and also one
from the old Bulls Head tavern, from
which Washington reviewed the Conti-
mental troops. Another is cut from a
tree planted by Washington at Mount
Vernon, and one highly priced is made
from a stick taken from the Garfield
funeral car. ar.-Philadelphia Press.

A Story About the Reading Deal.

When Asa Packer died he left $15,.
000, 900 invested in the Lehigh Valley
railroad with the recommendation that
it be allowed to remain there for an in
definite period. AS is known, Mr.
Packer left but one child, daughter.
Some years ago she married Charley
Cummings, popular Lehigh Valley
conductor, but who was poor and was
not favorably received by some of the
relatives. Cummings, believing him
self the representative of the Packer es-
tate, sought favor with the active man
agement and attempted to advance him
self to the presidency of the road.
These advances were repelled, how
ever, and the young man felt deeply the
snub he received from President Viii.
bur. He told them that he would get
even with them, and now he has done it
by turning over to rival corporation
the president, directors, managers, en-
ployees and the entire equipment of the
Lehigh Valley. Cummings has had his
revenge, and not only that, but he is to
be the right hand man of President Nc
Leod in the management of the great
Port Reading road.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cummings have been
for several years enjoying their enor-
nous revenue from the Packer invest
ment in the Lehigh Valley. They have
sumptuously furnished private car
and have travelled over the whole coun-
try in the most elegant style. Being a
practical railroad man, Cummings has,
since his fortunate marriage, been anx-
ious to become prominent in railroad
management, but until now President
Wilbur, it is said, has been in the way.

She Found Work at Home.

A village in the western part of the
state recently delegated young mar
ried woman to attend the w. Q. T. U.
convention, held at East Aurora. The
wife left her husband to keep house for
two days, and had most glorious time
at the convention discussing the best
mode of wiping the curse of rum off the
face of the earth. The poor husband
staid at home on an exhilarating diet Of
cold mince pie.
But as the evening of the first day
wore on he became very lonesome and
betook himself TO neighboring tavern
for the first time in his life. His wife
on her return found her husband still in
a drowsy mood and decidedly uncertain
as to how and when he returned home.
There has been an executive session of
small branch of the w. G. 7. U. at

Professional beggars in all countries
must heartily hate M. Paubair the
French gentleman who has taken on
himself to expose them and their tricks.
Some time ago, it may be remembered.
he published book ON the subject. con-
tanning the most extraordinary revela-
tions, and this is shortly to be followed
by another work on mendicity and men
dicants, which will be published simul-
taneously in France, England and Anler-
ica. for in the two last named countries
the author is aware, he says, that men
dicity and imposture flourish the same
as in France.
NJ Paubair believes he has found a
remedy for the evil, the nature of which
he will divulge in his coming work on
the subject and in the meantime he
continues to hunt up the beggars of
Paris, and, cleverly disguised, to go
about as one of them, thus learning
what they pocket per day, what their
tricks are, and 80 forth. He calculates
that there are over 10000 professional
beggars in the French capital, whose
tal1ings daily, at the very lowest figure,
are four francs per head. This gives
the fabulous total of 14,250,0 600 francs
given away annually in charity in the
streets of Paris; and he is very likely
right in adding that at least four-ffths
of the money finds its way into the
pockets of iinpostors, or of people who
could work for their living if they chose.
M. Paubair says he has choice little
collection of threatening letters which
he has received and is constantly receiv-
ing. This is not surprising. He is the
bette noire Of the professional beggar.-

Mich, one of the most remarkable of
creatures, an "infant" aged twenty-nine
years. The child, or young man, or
whatever it could be called, was the son
Of Austin Boden, and during all the
years Of its life was nothing more than
mere babe, 1t developed in no re-
spect and died in its cradle. 1t could
not walk nor talk nor recognize any one
and was as helpless when it reached its
manhood as the day il was born. Doc
tors were completely bafiied and could
do nothing, and for twenty-nine years
its death had been patiently awaited. -

ssleotlng a New Town Name.

The inhabitants of Rat Portage, On
tario, are very anxious TO have the name
Of their town changed. Its growing inn
portance, they think, demands for il n
more dignified and delicate name, and
their pride and cultured ears are hurt
by the appellation of Rat Portagers, by
which they are known. Petitions for n
change have been sent to the authori-
ties, and the names suggested by the
petitioners include Van Horn, Sylvana,
AIinnesobie and Sultana. The latter is
much favored, but the Rat Portagers
evidently do not see the danger of their
aiaid citizens being known as Sultanas.
