The Modern Way.

In India they drown q great many of
the girl babies. II is a time honored
custom, but not universally approved
from a therapeutic standpoint. In civ
iized countries they put corsets on the
girl babies, which brings about the same
results, without the shock, which is a
sure concomitant Of the Indian method
Moreover, babies last longer under the
modern system, and it is especially
priced by people who prefer TO keep
their girl babies for few brief years.

where Columbus Got His idea.

Medieval Europe knew but very little
Of eastern and northeastern Asia. Many
Of the most learned cosmographers Of
the time taught that Asia stretched east
ward indefinitely, and no one imagined
that it had an eastern coast washed by
the ocean. 1t was seriously taught that
eastern Asia was land of vast swamps,
inhabited by monster serpents and
dragons. This was the opinion that still
prevailed up to within 200 years Of the
time of Columbus.
At this time two Venetian merchants
by the name of Polo went on vast
trading expedition to the uttermost
parts Of Asia. They were gone many
years. Upon their return the son Of one
of them, young man named Marco
Polo, wrote out "a full account Of their
travels, described the empire Of the
grand khan (the Chinese EMPEROR and
revealed the fact that Asia was bounded
on the east by vast ocean. He de-
scribed this eastern coast infinitely,
with all its vast cities and its wealth Of
precious stones and spices.
1t was from reading this book that the
imagination Of Columbus was fired, and
he conceived the bold conception of
reaching this eastern coast Of Asia by
sailing toward the west around the
earth.
So when he discovered Cuba he had
not doubt that he had landed upon the
coast of Asia, and that he looked upon
the same scenes that Marco Polo had
gazed upon 200 years before.-Yankee

The worst feature Of a flood is the fact
that the river is apt to leave deposit of
sand, varying in thickness from one inch
to ten feet, over large extent of land
that was formerly fertile. In the food
of 1858 a great many farmers in the
American Bottom on going back to their
premises after the subsistence Of the
waters, found their property covered
with river sand in beds so thick that
two or three years elapsed before good
crops could be raised.-St. Louis Globe

The tussle over silver will be the interesting
part Of this weeks proceedings in Congress, it
10 presumed. 1t is very clear to disinterested
observers that. with the Speaker, the committee
on rules and the House al in favor of the meas
ure, there seems to be no human chance to
defeat it by hook or crook. The silver
men are much more encouraged than they
were as to the fate of the bill in the
senate. Certain democrats who, for
one motive or another. object to the passage Of
the free-coinage bill at this time are congratu-
lstins themselves. some what out of season and
apparently without rhyme or reason, on the
prospect Of dividing party responsibility on
this question, In fact. If the Senate passes the
bill it will be chiefly by democratic votes, and
only minority of the republican party can be
held responsible for the action of the body.
Every recent step taken by the democrats as a
national party has fastened the crisis that inn
ponds and no opportunity presents itself for
retrscing its imprudent steps The party
leaders having prepared matters for the issue.
IL wiz be made in spite of the wise protests of
statesmen whose counsels have been discred-
tied. Nothing appears more certain than that
the democratic party will have TO face its self
imposed responsibilities in the presidential
campaign this year. Long before November it
may regret its Lasty cOmmittaI to the policy of
free silver.
