The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1893-03-24

A refuse cart was close to the curb on
Thirty-seyenth street. between Madison
and Fifth avenues. recently, while the
driver, a healthy young lrishman, talked
to woman who had on each sidea little
chap dressed in sailor costume. Most
passersby must have taken her for .
nurse out with her charges from one Of
the fashionable houses near by, After
two minutes talk the woman lifted the
lads one by one to the side Of the rough
driver, who had carefully spread a piece
Of stout paper over his cargo to protect
the clothing Of the children.
One lad, tucked close under the driv-
er's arm, was permitted to hold the reins,
while the other poked the staid horse
with short stick. The. three drove of
eastward, smiling, while the woman fol-
lowed on the sidewalk. The children
were the drivers own, and they were as
well dressed as half the children native
to the locality in which the scene oc-
curred.-New York Sun.

L. Trouvelot tells us Of the astonishing
voracity Of species Of caterpillar, poly
phemus, and some curious experiments
made by him in ascertaining the amount
Of food consumed and its relation to the
grub's growth and extraordinary develop
ment. When the young was first Matched
it weighed but Gne-twentieth Of o grain;
when ten days old this weight had in
creased TO half grain, or ten times the
original weight; at twenty days old the
weight had increased TO three full grains,
or sixtytimes it's weight at the moment 1t
left the egg When the creature was a
month old itweighed thirty-one grains, or
620 times the amount Of the first weighing.
and at the expiration Of ten more days 1t
had again almost trebled in weight, show
ing full ninety grains Of ayoirdupois, or
1900 times the original weight. Al the
fifty-sixth day the worm had attained Its
full size and now weighed 2O7 grains, 4, lao
times theamount Of the original one-tweD-
tieth grain weight.
II mans adult weight was 1000 times
that Of the average weight at birth his
twenty-iirst birthday would find him car
rying around something like twenty tons
Of surplus flesh. But this wonderful In
crease In Weight and the curious calcula-
| tions that can be deducted therefr0m are
not more remarkable than the food con-
suming powers Of such creatures. When
the worm is thirty days old 1t has con
aumed about ninety grains Of solid food,

Some persons are hard to satisfy. The
thing in hand is Of little worth, but the
object beyond reach seems all desirable.
A clergyman in Maine, who lives near
the seacoast, narrates an occurrence
which gave him amoment Of disappoint-
ment, but which has also supplied him
with very good story to tell
He had planned q beautiful drive for
the benefit Of a lady from the west who
was visiting his family--a lady who hud
never seen the ocean. The route was
chosen in such way that not glimpse
Of the sea would be had until, ut GER
tain bend in the road, the party would
come out upon high open space, com
manding amagniticent view OF the broad
Atlantic.
As the carriage came out upon the
plateau the clergyman turneda beaminQ
face on the lady, expecting from her an
exclamation Of delight; but instead Of
happiness on her countenance, he saw q
look of longing.
"Oh," she said, with sigh. ''how

A teacher comments upon the ease with

Everybody knows that ssto go and get Q
drink is the end and aim apparently Of all
school children, and few teachers have
been able 10 combat the practice success
fully. Cholera. or the fear Of cholera,
proved equal to the task. Itwas evident
for the first fortnight Of school that an ez-
tra0rdinary influence had been brought to
bear upon the pupils. In lien Of the con
staDt procession Of thirsty children the
coolers stood idle and unsought.
Parents, for once in earnest, had i'm
pressed their small people with horror Of
any but boiled water and had evidently
seriously warned them Of possible conse-
quences. Some children, unable toendure
fhe long abstinence. brought bottles Of
boiled water to school every day, keeping

A book, the leavesof which are uncut,
possesses no value Of an intrinsic char
acter beyond one that is cut, but really
less. For that matter, il it is to remain
uncut, it is as valueless us il is useless.
There is class of book collectors, how
ever. who place premium upon books
with uncut leaves, and so commend
them in their advertisements and cir
culars. There are persons who load
certain shelves in their libraries with
uncut books. OF course they are not for
use and are not used, and are valueless
except for keeping. Brooklyn Eagle.

William H, Seward used to tell some In
teresting stories Of his adventinto politics.
1t amused him greatly, he used to say, to
see the surprise depicted upon the faces Of
politicians who had heard of him, but had
never seen him before. He was SO slight
Of figure and so boyish looking that 1t
seemed impossible that he could be really
the brilliant William H. Seward Of whom
they had heard so much. MIR, Seward
used to say that the young man who was
8 feet 10 or taller, and Of splendid ply
sique, had a great deal better chance to
get along in politics than the little fel-
lows, such as hewas.
One day at the seashore he was intro
duced TO a famous politician as Mr.. Sew

. Calamity Miller.

Talking Of bad luck said Julius
Chown at the Lindell, reminds me Of a
man once knew in Iowa who could have
given Job himself pointers in the matter
Of misfortunes. We called him Calamity
Miller. He was prosperous merchant at
Comanche, had model wife and the hand
somest daughter between the Mississippi
and the Big Muddy. Inez Miller was the
recognized beauty Of the state. Comanche
was visited by acyclone, and Miller's store
was torn to pieces and his goods scattered
to the four winds. His residence Was
totally destroyed, and he was crippled for
life by falling chimney. Before the cy-
clone Miller was a moderately wealthy
man. Inten minutes he was pauper and
a acripple. Shortly after that he was struck
by lightning and partially paralyzed. His
wife and daughter went to stay with rela-
tives at Galesbnrg, Ills. and were drowned
by the capsizing Of boat. That winter
Miller froze to death. Calamity Miller
has long been synonym in eastern Iowa
for the toughest kind Of tough luck. "--St.
