THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Hundreds OF People Celebrate the
NntiOn's birthday in tho Grove
OF Will Clark at Pnonin.

In 1881 the first white settler came to
this valley, and the first celebration held
in this beautiful grove was in the year
1888, thus making II years that the peo-
pie OF this lovely part Of Delta county
have kept with patriotic enthusiasm, the
grand and glorious day on which this
nation was declared free.
Scarcely had the Red mans track
been hidden before tho people from
many Of the sister states were here, with
brave hearts and willing hands, for tn Q
purpoee OF establishing for themselves
peaceful, happy homes, in tho very midst
Of the western wilds.
Where antelope, deer. and wild cats too,
were found;
Where mountain lion. musl, rats, and
few prairie dogs abound.
But regardless OF these little, unofren.
sive animals. and the realization OF be-
ing situated from 30 to co miles from
the nearest railroad point. and n few
hundred other little obstacles, which
they knew and felt that they must over
come, II they ever achieve the victory
for which they are striving. they pro.
ceedsd to work hard, day after day; un-
til now they're proud monarchs Of all
they survey
Yes. they are proud OF their country.
and pleased with the progress their
county is making.

Wanted a Good Foot.

Models are an important part OF a
sculptor's need. / doubt whether in this
particular we differ from our Greek
predecessors, for we read of choice pres
ents. such as peacoclzs, given by Phidias
to his models, showing how much he
valued them, presumably because it was
as difficult then as now to get good ones.
To be a model is a business of itself,
and when we remember the number of
art schools there are, even in London
alone, and the many artists who are en-
tirely dependent upon them, it may be
realized what large body they must be.
The men are mostly Italians, chiefly,
I AIN toli, from. the. neighborhood OF
Naples. -The-women are, as a rule, Eng
lish and have often sat from babies. To
find a we'll fermed foot is almost an i'm
possibility among the best of them, ow-
ing to the long cramping in boots, but a
friend once told me that he had cast
of the foot of an Indian woman that
was as beautiful as the foot of Greek
statue.
Our English models lack often the
suppleness of figure that distinguishes
more southern races, such as the Italian,
which is partly accounted for by the
heavy, cumbersome clothes cur climate
necessitates. But such as they are we
have to make the best of them, and a
really good one is eagerly sought after.
Good Words.

MiIlepeds.

The little creature which possesses
the distinction of having more legs than
any other animal is that which belongs
to the family of insects known as mile
peds, or thousand footed. There are
several different species of these, but
they all possess the common character
istic Of having segmented bodies, each
segment of which is provided with its
own pair of feet. These are set so close
ly along the body as to resemble hairs
and when they move one after another
with perfect regularity the effect is pre-
cisely the same on small scale as that
of a field of oats undulating under the
influence of the wind. Some species of
millepeds have as many as $50 separate
aud distinct legs. They are all per-
fectly harmless, unlike the centipeds,
which frequently have the power of in
fiicting poisonous wounds. Brooklyn

The "Tomb of Cain, 4"


The early traditions concerning the
city of Damascus are curious and inter
esting, even though untrustworthy and
contradictory. BY some of the ancient
writers it was maintained that the city
stands on or near the site of the garden
of Eden, and just outside there is a
beautiful meadow Of red earth from
which, it is said, God took the material
from which he created Adam. This
field is called Ager Damascenus, and
near its center there formerly stood a
pillar which was said to mark the pre-
else spot where our first parent was Gre
lated. A few miles out there is an emil
nence called the Mountain of A bel, sup
posed by some to be the place where the
first two brothers offered their saCri-
ifices, also the spot where the first rRur
der was committed. The most interest
ing spot pointed out, however, is about
three leagues from the city, where an
old ruin is shown which all the orient
believe to be tho tomb of Cain. The
traditions respecting this famous spot
are known to antedate the Christian era
by several hundred years. Up to the
time Of Vespasian the interior Of the
tomb is said to have been lighted and
warmed by one of the lever burning"
lamps SO commonly used by the an
clients. st. Louis Republic.

HUMAN DETECTIVES.
Methods OF Treatment Suggested For Ger
tain C'asses of Public Dependents.

methods Of Treatment Suggested For Ger
tain Csasses OF Public Dependents.
DR.. James w. Walk, ia lecture on
Detectives" before the University of
Pennsylvania, defined tho detectives as
those members of society having serious
mental or physical defects, either con-
genital or acquired This group COM
prised six classes-frst, the blind; Sec
pnd, the deaf mutes; third, insane;
fourth, the feeble minded, or idiots;
fifth, the inebriatcs- where drunken
oss has become O diseaseAand sixth,
tho epileptics.
DR.. Walk took up each of these class
q and stated what he believed to be
the best way to deal with them. OF the
blind and deaf he said: Blind, deaf
and feeble minded children have al
much claim to an education as others,
and since their defects prevent them
from receiving it In the ordinary public
schools it is only just that they should
be instructed in schools especially adapt
cd to their condition. Such schools are
also most economical investment of
public money, for by means Of the train
ing they give the great majority of tho
blind and deaf mutes become self sup
porting in adult life.
ITO fit blind children for self support
it is necessary that their discipline
while at school should be rigid, so as to
impart thoroughness in the practice of
the few industries, such as weaving and
music, which are open to them. The
ms Cf the hoef cf,sOlc For t,n
blind now insist upon this rigid train
ing, and in this way sometimes incur
nnpopularity among those who do not
understand their real motive.
For those of the adult blind who
cannot maintain themselves in open
competition with normal workmen
there should bo founded in each state
industrial homes where they may reside
and labor, the deficiency in their earn
ing being supplied by benevolence.
Where such homes are well conducted
they are nearly self supporting.
Under the stimulus of the popular
interest excited by the eloquent ad
dresses of the great philanthropist, Doro-
thea Dix, Pennsylvania many years ago
undertook to make adequate provision
for the insane at public expense. The
first institution for their care in the
commonwealth was the insane depart
ment of the old Pennsylvania hospital.
We have now many asylums for these
people, but not enough yet to accommo-
date them ALL Asylums should be so
regulated that the inmates can work
and be self sunDortino -
DR.. Walk thought that idiots, or the
feeble minded, should not be permitted
to marry. OF epileptics he thought the
same, as their defects are hereditary.
Inebriates should be confined for a long
period, during which they would be
forced to abstain totally. This treat
ment, he said, results often in perma-
nent cure re.-Philadelphia Press.
