A New York DAILY paper, taking
up the idea conveyed in Flammar
ions exciting novel, ''0mega: the
Last Days of the World has inter
viewed a number of the leading
men of all professions as to what
they would do if science was to pre-
diet tomorrow that the end of the
world would arrive within the next
thirty days. The answers are var
ious and curious, and heighten the
interest which is felt In the second
part of Flammarion's great novel,
which appears IN the May Cosmopo-
Titan. 1t is a question which every
one will find interesting to ask of
himself: What would you do if
within six weeks the end of the
world were certain? Probably no
novek which has ever appeared in
an American magazine has been
more e~laborately illustrated by more
distinguished artists. Laurens,
Sauner, Vogol, Meaullo5 Rochegrosse
Geradin and Choyen all contribute
to the explanation of the fact.
A clever story of another kind is
that of the new English novelist,
Gilbert Parker, in the same number.
"Amerlcan Society in Paris is an
article of another kind, but one
which will interest all who have
had occasion to make even a short
residence in the French capital.
The Cosmopolitan scores a c
in producing in its May number,
almoSt simultaneously with the daily
papers, an elaborate description of
Pro-. Gray's marvellous invention,
the Telantograph, which reproduces
the handwriting, or the work OF tho
artist, simultaneously, thousands and
thousands of miles distant from the
place where the writer or artist is
sitting. Mr.. Howells' purpose in
"The Traveller from Altruria'' is,
month by month. becoming more
evident, and is now receiving wide
attentions at the hands of the critics
all over the world.

LATE Young, president Of the
Iowa Press Association, manager of
the recent editorial excursion, and
editor OF the Iowa Capital, gives
this brief summary of the south in
his paper: The south in general
has untold attractions and varied
resources and ought to grow mirac-
ulously and enormously within the
next few years. She has lakes and
rivers filled with the choicest fish.
Mountains yield vast mineral
wealth; forests of pine and oak
make an inexhaustible supply Of
building material. The soil in
many parts will produce a variety
of farm products, and all kinds Of
fruits and vegetables, and the eli
mate is mild and pleasant. In the
hottest weafh2r the nights are cool.
The people of the north scarcely re-
allze the beauties, attractions and
material resources of the south.
The Dakotas doomed and built up
o. cheap lands hat would produce
but n crop-wheat. The South
has as cheap land as ever Dakota
had and will yield a variety OF valu-
able and useful products. Southern
California can be no ~pleasanter than
Georgia, Florida or Alabama. Flor.
ida has only 400, 600 people, only
about one fifth the population of
Iowa, while she is as large in terri
tory.
A little more enterprise, "A little
more energy, some more capital, and
a general forgetting of the past, will
bring new life to the south, where
the blight Of slavery rested Ola both
races for centuries.
The last paragraph of the above
calls to mind Ben Buffers remark
about Texas: He asked an inhabi-
tant Mhat he found to admire
about the country, to which he re-
piled: o. this is a fine country. All
this couatry needs is good water
and good society," Well you d
fool, said Ben, that's all h--needs.

Sometimes | wonder, says Bur-
dette, what a mean man thinks
about when he goes to bed. When
he turns out the light and lies down
alone he is then compelled to be
honest with himself. Not a bright
thought, not a generous impulse,
not a word of blessing, not a CRATE
full look comes back to him. not a
penny dropped into the palm of
pos erty, nor the balm of a loving
word dropped into az aching heart;
no sunbeam of encouragement cast
upon a struggling life, no strong
right hand of fellowship reached
out to help some fallen man to his
feet. When none of these things
come to him as the "Godbless you"
of the departed day, how he must
hate himself; how he must try to
roll away from himself and sleep on
the other side the bed, when the
only victory he a think of is some
mean victory, In which he has
wronged q neighbor. No wonder
he always lee when he tries to
smile. How pure and good all the
rest of the world must look to him,
and how careless and dreary must
his own path appear. Why, even
one isolated act Of meanness is
enough to scatter cracker crumbs in
the bed of the average man, and
what mast be the feelings of a man
whose whole life Is given up to
mean acts.

Mr.. Jenkins, of Waubsy, who deliver
ed the valedictory, had chosen for his
subject, Beacon Lights" and referred
to leading human characters of different
periods. He had prepared his subject
in a mastery manner and the rendition
was fairly good. In fact, the whole class
are said to haye done well, and their
parents and teacher were justly proud
Of them.
Gov. Sheldon was present, and In his
usual happy mood, delivered a most ex-
celient and interesting address. His
presentation Of diplomas was done in q
mastery n and was calculated to
stimulate the manhood and woraanhood
OF the graduating students and cause
them to realize the importance of their
