The ChiIds Glarler.

One of the great glaciers of north Greenland has been named after MT. George w. Childs by Professor Heilprin, the leader of the Peary relief expedition. While the members of that party were engaged in their mission they spent some time in large and beautiful bay, which Is called after Mir. Sonteg, one of Dr. Hayes party, who lost his life in that neighborhood while on an exploring trip. At the head of this bay are two large and particularly handsome glaciers, one empyting into the waters from the north side and the other from the south.
 The latter seemed to afford exception- al opportunities of testing much moot ed question whether it is possible to reach the great interior ice cap by means of these frozen rivers with the usual i'm pedimenta of arctic travellers, and Pro- lessor Heilprin decided to attempt the work, which was carried out successful ly, all the members of the party taking part except two, one of whom was laid up through slight accident. This gla- cier is the one on which the name of George W. Childs has been bestowed St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

In Regard to Young Men.

A writer on the staff of our neighbor, the Berkshire News, says in the last issue that young ladies in Great Bar rington complain of the scarcity oi young men in that town. It seems that there are only about three young men there available for flirting and dancing, while the number of young ladies is es- timated at about fifty. This is truly de- plorable. The young men in question are doing their duty, but there is a limit to human endurance. The Berk- shire man thinks that the difficulty can be met by inviting young fellows down from Lenox and Stockbridge. We doubt this. The trouble is not that young men do not go to Great Barring ton, but that they do not go anywhere. They stay in the cities. They have their clubs and their Coney Island. One of our New York contemporaries has re- cently noted this change in the habits of young men and commented on it, and, far from deploring it. expresses his hearty approval of the change. He argues that, separated from their male companions. the girls in the country go to bed early, lead more healthful life, and will return to the cities in the fall fresher, stronger and prettier than ever, and the young men will be glad to see them again. It occurs to us, however, that many young men of ample flirting and dancing capacity never leave the country except for short visits to the city.

Carlyle's Love For His Sister.

When Thomas Carlyle died in 1881, he left to Mrs. Planning property sufficient to render her independent for the re- mainder of her life. For three years after her husbands death Mrs. Tanning retained her home, but finally relin- quished 1t to reside with her daughter. Mrs. Leslie.
 Since 1881, therefore, Mrs. Tanning has made her home with her daughter and her daughters husband in their de- lightful farm at Drumquin, Ont, which is named after "Comely Bank" at Craig inputtock. She has her own apartment and in it sits day in and day out with her books and her thoughts.
 The books which form her library are many and valuable and in most cases have the added interest of being gifts from her brother. Her collection of Carlyle's published works is complete, and was given her volume by volume as published by Carlyle himself. On the title page of each Is an autograph in- scription, always breathing the affection which he bore and showed the sister from whom he was so widely separated.
 From her affectionate brother, T. Carlyle" is the usual. form of signature. -Lsdiss Home Journal.

FIVE STATES ARE OUT OF DEBT.
The Municipalities Have, However, Pilss
 In Great Burdens.

The Municipalities Have, However, Piled
 Up Great Burdens.
 Five states-Iowa, Vermont, Michi- gan, Wisconsin and llinois-have no in- terest bearing debt, and there are six or seven other states whose bonded debts are mere bagatelles. Among the num- Der are New Jersey, Nebraska, Ken lucky and California. In a current news paragraph, which contains the above in- formation, it is said that exclusive of the south the states of the Union are generally free from debt, and that the annual interest charge of all the states collectively is less than that of a single railroad-the Atchison, Topeka and San ta Fe."
 To foreigner or any one else not fa- miliar with the facts this would convey the impression that the Americans bear an extremely light burden of debt. Such an idea would be somewhat modified, however, by the knowledge that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe pays in- terest on $500, ,000, ,000 or more, the annual interest charge exceeding $25, 900, ,000- almost as much as the entire interest of the federal government.
 It is true that the state debts outside of the south are small, yet the aggregate is far from being trifie. The southern states have a bonded indebtedness of $144, ,O00, 900 in round numbers. The to- tai bonded indebtedness of all the states in 1890 was $224, ,000, 900, on which the annual interest charge was SIG, ,000, 900. The total bonded debt of the states is about one-third of the national interest bearing debt.
 The people of this country would have good reason to consider themselves espe- cially blessed in the matter of taxation for interest on public debts if they had nothing more to pay than the interest on the national and state bonded indebt- edness. 1t is the local burdens that weigh heavily upon their shoulders, and although these debts may be less oner- ous than those borne in other countries they are not to be dismissed as matters of no great importance, as may be done in the case of state debts.
 The aggregate of county and munich pal indebtedness in 1890 was about $999, : COG, ,000-nearly $2s0, ,O00, 900 more than the bonded debt of the United States. Of this vast amount $848, ,000, 900 was upon municipalities and $144, ,000, 900 upon counties. It has been frequently said that Ohio heads the list of the states in the amount of local indebtedness. The census figures of 1890 do not con- firm this assertion. The county and municipal indebtedness of Ohio in the census year was little more than S68, COG, ,00O, of which $59, ,000, 900 rested upon municipalities. Pennsylvania had SOL O00,C GOO of local debts, Massachusetts $99 ,000, 900 and New York $244, ,000, 900.
 If the local bonded indebtedness of the various states was disappearing as rapid ly as in the debt of the United States, there would be ample cause for congratu- lation. But it has been fast increasing for many years.-Cincinnati Times-Star.

Steam From Slag.

The enormous amount of heat habitu- ally wasted in cooling molten slag has melted an Australian to work out a scheme for generating steam by this means. The boiler or receptacle for the water has running through it from top to bottom funnel shaped pipes, some thing after the style of big candle mold. The molten slag is poured into these receptacles and communicates it's heat to the water. When the slag be- comes soEd a door at the bottom of each receptacle is opened, the siag is knocked out and the whole filled again, The ap- paratus has been tried and 100 pounds pressure of steam raised.--New York Telegram,

How One Teacher Deals With Her Rub
 berless Scholars.
 If any one should take the trouble to make the rounds of the public schools of the city on rainy or snowy day, he would find large number of children with wet feet. This condition, due for the most part to the negligence of par ents, undoubtedly helps to swell the E * list, and often the death rate, from croup, diphtheria. pneumonia and the rest.
 At Eghty-fifth street and First avenue Is grammar school having registry of 848 girls, the principal of which is Miss Julia Richman. This principal exerts herself in the most praiseworthy way to correct, in her jurisdiction, the evil men, toned. Asked recently what system she used to prevent wet feet and how she Miss Richman replied:
 "I can hardly say have any system for getting my girls to wear overshoes in wet weather. I simply insist upon it.
 "The general plan adopt is this: Early | in the fall upon a very wet morning 1 in- quire in every class as to how many girls have come out without overshoes. The number is discouragingly large, as indi- eating lack of supervision on the part of mothers. catechize each individual de- | linquent, and the customary replies are: I forgot them Mine are too small. My shoes are thick and I haven't any. Then follows general talk on the phys ical evils resultant upon dampness ab- sorbed through the feet, and in language not classic pile on the agony. tell of the need for growing girls to take every precautionary measure in this direction and give illustrations of the result of in- advertence, so far as can in general talk.

Some Farm Signs.

An observant drummer says he can readily tell who is the boss on the farm he passes, the farmer or his wife. If 8 farm has large barn and small house, the man is boss, but when there are a fine house and dilapidated barn you may know that the woman has her own way. Where there are new house and 8 good barn, it may be taken for granted the man and woman are about equal in authority. New York Sun.
