NOTES OF THE RIVER.
News OF the Boats and Boatmsn Along
the Ohio.

There were but 10 inches Of water In
the channel last night, the lowest stage
reached 10 several years. There is now
scarcely sufficient water for John boats,
and the low water packets have go to
bank. All the packets, stationed at
different points along the river, are be-
ing generally overhaule1 and improved,
and they will come out on the first rise,
looking as bright as on their trial trips.
The Iron Queen is the only packet here.
She is lying above the suspension
bridge.
The outlet theory in regard to pre-
venting overflow along the Mississippi
river banks should be condemned at
once. says a marine writer, from the
fact that when the Mississippi River
Commission began the work OF recon
structing the levees and closing the out
lets in 1888, the year previous had wilt
messed 207 crevasses. In 1892 there
were but eight. The "outleters" claim
that the river bed rises through the de-
nosit OF silt. as the water Is confined TO
the river proper. The best authority
Of surveys since 1879 denies that the
bed of the river has risen to any per-
ceptible extent since then.
The creek Is scarcely ten feet wide
at several points within the city limits.
The Phillips is still receiving repairs
at the landing.

the track. They inquired where the

zine, aud Mrs. Moore replied that II
was she.
She had been knocked of the track
but the only injury sustained was a
fractured wrist, caused by fall.

Asking Questions of the Cuckoo.

"In Denmark" said Augustus H.
Schneider of San Antonio, Tex, at the
Lindell, "when tho voice of the cuckoo
is heard in the woods in the springtime
every girl and boy kiss their hands and
ask, When, cuckoo, when shall 1 be
married?' The old folks, wearied with
disease and age, inquire, Cuckoo,
cuckoo, when shall | be released from
this worlds care?' And the bird con-
tinues to sing cuckoo as many times as
years will elapse before tho objects of
these desires come to pass. And as some
old people live to become advanced in
years, and many of the girls die old
maids, and the boys find bachelors
graves, the poor cuckoo has so much to
do in answering the questions put to her
that she has no time to make her nest.
but lays her eggs in that of the hedge
sparrow or the linnet that make the
same territory their home. st. Louis

The Language of Animals.

1t used to be told in the fairy tales
that the hero could hear the grass grow
and speak with the animals. In reality
it is not likely that we shall ever develop
the sense of hearing sufficiently to hear
the grass grow, but it is quite likely that
we shall be able to converse with the
beasts of the field. But do the beasts
have language? lie would be bold in
deed who would deny it point blank
We observe all around us too many in
dications of conscious communication
between them to have right to say mo"
absolutely. To be sure, some animals
are silent, totally, it seems. But may
they not convey their thoughts" in some
way-for instance, as the deaf mutes do?
Or may they not use a secret language
one like that of lovers. employing ges-
lures and looks? When we speak of Ian
guage in this connection, it must be un-
derstood that we do not mean articulate
speech. We take the word in its broad
est sense as On expression for tho means
of mental communication existing be-
tween one creature and another. .-Copen-

BUILDING FOR OTHERS.

What If build for others,
And the walls of the building stand
Long after am forgotten
BY the dwellers within the land
Long after the buildings have crumbled
That were founded upon the sand7
What if build for others
And the building shelters me not,
And within the home have builded
/ shall have no part or lot,
And the dwellers who have their homes there
Through all time shall know me not?
Yet when the years shall have faded.
And beneath the roof trees shade
The children of generations
In their child h days have played,
And have passed from under the roof tree
And vanished into the shade,
Some dweller beneath tho roof tree.
Thinking when it was new,
May say as his thoughts turn backward.
Keeping its age in view,
'lhe builder who built this building
Buildcd better than ho knew"
And l, though have passed onward,
Hearing the Masters call,
May know, though ii may not matter
TO mo what the building befall,
1t is better - have builded for others
Than not to have built at all.

An excellent man was wont to observe
that when he chose a wife he should look
for mental rather than physical graces.
"Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain" {"
he quoted grandly, "but a woman that
feareth the Lord she shall be praised >
His sisters, finding him slow to designate
the future companion of his travels
through the world, kindly indicated to
him certain irreproachable Miss Ursula,
as devoutly good as she was unfortu-
nately angular and plain. And very
malicious was their satisfaction when
the bachelor brother exclaimed: Great
Scott, there Is reason in all things! A
man wants something besides piety in a
wife!'-Harper's Bazaar.

Bricks For Paving Streets.

The vitriGed brick is taking the place
of the Belgian block in street paving in
n number of cities. Cincinnati, Chatta-
nooga, Macon, Augusta and other
southern and western cities are already
using the vitrified brick with great sue
cess, and the demand for that sort of
pavement is so large that the manufac-
turers are millions of bricks behind in
their orders. The brick is made of low
grade of fire clay, is almost as hard as
flint and is impervious to moisture
