Questions and Answers.

don. 1t is said that when Lasthenes
the Olynthian, complained to King
Philip that some of his retinue were
rude-spoken men, the King replied
"Yes, these Macedonians are rude
and clownish people, that call spade
a spade" The words are found at
tributed to Philip in the works of two
or three ancient historians, and from
them were cited by mediaeval and
modern authors.
Is not Labor Day a national holiday?
An almanac says September, first Mon
day, Labor Day, is national holiday.
P. G.
We have not, properly speaking, a
national holiday, not even the Fourth
of July being such. The Fifty-third
Congress, in it's second session, passed
an act making Labor Day holiday in
the District of Columbia, and for COM
mercial and business purposes has
recognized others, but with the excep.
tion of Labor Day in the District there
is no national legislation on the sub
ject, all the holidays in our calender
being established by the legislative
enactment of the various States.
How many eligible voters of the fe-
male sex failed to exercise the privi-
lege of suffrage in Massachusetts?
w. S. III.
Numerous statements are floating
about with reference to the number of
women who fail to avail themselves of
the right to vote in States where it
has been accorded to them, but most
of them are not believed to be reliable,
from the fact that the friends of wo-
man suffrage are as prone to overstate
the case on the one side as its oppon-
ents to underestimate it on the other.
There is not much doubt, however,
that after the first few experiences in
voting have worn off the novelty, wo-
men seem to care little for the fran
chise, and in the States where they
have the privilege comparatively
small percentage avail themselves of
it
What is the average fall per mile of
the waters of the Mississippi River?
R. o. d.
The Mississippi River is, in many
respects, a remarkable stream. In
cluding the Missouri, it is 400 miles
long, the longest in the world, except,
perhaps, the Nile, the exact length of
which is not yet determined. Its sys-
tenn drains an area of 1,147, 600 square
miles, on which there Is an annual
rainfall of 7s,9O0, 600, ,0O0,0 900 cubic feet,
OF which the river carries away 1S,9O0,-
000,000,000. At New Orleans It is 5000
feet wide, and though at the ends it
broadens to mile or mile and half,
this remains the average width for
1000 miles, the junction with it of many
important streams making 1t deeper
but no wider. It annually transports
to the gulf S12,5OO. OO0, 900 pounds OF
sediment, or enough to cover a square
mile of ground PAL feet deep More
money has been spent in its improve
ment than on any otker river on the
globe and still it remains almost un-
manageable. -

THE OTHER ONE.

Sweet little maid with winsome eyes
That laugh all day through the tangled
hair,
Gazing with baby looks so wise
Over the arm of oaken chair
Dearer than you there can be none
Since in the laughing face / see
Eyes that tell of another one
Here where the freight softly glows,
Sheltered and safe, and snug and warm,
What to you is the wind that blows,
Driving the sleet of the winter storm?
Round your head the ruddy light
Glints on the gold from your tresses
spun,
But deep is the drifting snow tonight
over the head of the other one
Hold me close as you sagely stand.
Watching the dying embers shine;
Then shall | feel another hand
That nestled once in this hand of mine
Poor little hand, so cold and still;
Shut from the light of stars and sun,
Clasping the withered roses still
That hide the face of the sleeping one.
Laugh, little maid, while laugh you NAV
Sorrow comes to US all, / know:
Better, perhaps, for her to stay
Under the drifting robe of snow.
sing while you may your baby songs
Sing till your baby days are done.
But oh! the ache of the heart that longs
Night and day for the other one.

mid brings us face to face with statue,
the most ancient known, that is more
of a mystery. if not more of a wonder,
than the royal tomb-the Great Sphynx
of Gizeh.
AN OLD MONUMENT.
We have historic proof that it was
already in existence in the time of the
builder of the great pyramid but its real
age is unknown. 1t is hewn in the liv-
ing rock: it's battered body presents but
the general form of the lion, the paws
and the breast, restored by the Ptole-
mics and the Caesars, retain but a part
of the stone facing with which they were
originally clothed. The lower part of
the head d-dress has fallen and the neck
is badly broken; the nose and the beard
have been cut away and the red hue
which enlivened the features is almost
wholly gone.
But notwithstanding the ravages of
time and fanatics. it has an expression
of strength and greatness. The eyes
gaze upon the waste of desert sand with
intense thoughtfulness, the mouth
wears a smile. and the whole counte-
nance possesses powei: and repose.
The body is about $50 feet long. the
head is so feet long, the face is II feet
wide, and from the top of the head to
the base of the monument the distance

RETAIIATED

The poet climbed to the editors lair,
The way was steep but the brute was in
He unrolId his verses, and his hair
And was usher'd as usual, out again
But shouted back, when he lit below
Il will come again when the violets blow!"
And he came again, when the spring had
sprung,
His hair was longer his verses too

"And a list of names to give to YOU.
Then he drew his club, it was stuff'd with

And he held the floor, with the club in

And to make them felt he rubbed them in
With pepper-sauce and doggerel rhyme!

for crops are two mighty different
