Cows in the Meadow.


When springing meads are freshly digit.
And trees new leaved throw scarce a
shadow,
The green earth shows no fairer sight
Than soft-eyed kline and blowing mead
oW
Too calm for care, too slow for mirth,
Amid the shower, amid the CLEAN,
The great mild mother creatures seem
Halt-walking forms o the dreamy earth.
And down the pathway through the
grass
To school the merry children pass.
Singing rhyme in the April morns,
How-There's red for the burrows, and
white for the daisies,
Brown eyes for the brooks, for the trees
crumpled horns!
When quivering leaves make leaves of
And both the sward beneath them dap
pie,
When may boughs cream in curdling
white,
And strawberry cream doth flush the
apple,
The great mild mother creatures lie,
And grow, in absence of the sun,
One with the moon and stars, and one
With silvery cloud and hushed dark sky.
And down the pathway through the
grass
To school the merry children pass.
Singing a rhyme in the morns of June
HOw-There's white for the clOudlets and
black for the darkness,
And two polished horns for the sweet
sickle moon.

Pnenmatic Punishment.

There is probably no method Of the
present day that is more time honored-
positively ancient-than the approved and
most often employed method Of hagellat-
ing the refractory young OF the genus
man. In the times of the ancient Egyp-
tians cuprits and scapegraces We're chas-
tened with a laying on of the rod; and
there is scrpural warrant for saying the
method is good and sanitary. The posi-
bilities are that Cain was the drst of
the race to feel the weight of the rod.
for as he grew up bad man, it must
have been that he was a naughty boy. And
old Mother Eve was probably not one of
the kind to be put off with an excuse
about falling into the creek and getting
his hair wet, when she had told Cain not
to go in swimming. For she knew good
from evil
In the city OF Duluth there is a school
teacher. of Ewes sex, who also knows a
thing or two about good and evil She
also believes in the proverb. Spare the
rod and spoil the child" But being
strictly up-to-date woman, she makes
concessions to the current fad. even in
Furnishing her pupils when she has caught
them playing hockey or doing other
naughty things. She gives them pneu-
matte chastisement, so to speak, sup
planting the rod with a section of rubber
tubing Familiarity known to the bicycling
world as the "hosepipe." She probably
finds that the resiliency of the hosepipe
assists in scorching at a lively rate, and
at the same time saves her hands from
uncomfortable shocks. such as are some
times experienced by the teacher who at
tempts to paddle 1S-year-old brat with
fiat ruler. The hosepipe affords the cuI-
prit all the cushion he needs, while max
ing the pace so hot that he doesn't forget
it for a long while. Indeed at the end,
he may truthfully be said to be pneumatic
cany tired.
A rather notable feature of this matter
is that the hosepipe method of punishment
has received official sanction in Duluth,
and it may possibly become the custom
in the schools in that city. The teacher in
| question was sued for damages by one of
the patrons of the school whose son had
felt the rubber. In court the hosepipe
was exploited by the judge and the jury
men, across the palms of their hands and
on their knees. with the result
that the verdict was in favor
of the teacher and the tire. The
! incident. by the way, suggests
a market for old bicycle tires, after they
have run their course on the road and the
track They may be cut into proper
lengths and dispensed to teachers and
mothers to be used as a means of per-
suading the rising generation to keep in
the middle of the road.

The City,s Drainage system.

Is something to be done finally towards
providing an outlet other than the Bilbo
canal for the city's sewage? It looks so.
1t is announced that the House drainage
commission has about agreed upon plan
for a sewage outlet, of which City Engin-
eer Winn is the author.
The question of house drainage and a
sewage outlet has been under consideration
for many years. The chief reason why no
decision has been reached in regard to it
is the lack of money to carry into effect
any plan that m ight be adopted.
Col Winn's plan for a sewage outlet ap-
pears to be a good one. An expert sanitary
engineers opinion in regard to it, how
ever would be much better than that of
any one unfamiliar with such matters. 1t
would be much better certainly to have
the sewage carried to Wilmington river
than to have it discharged into the Savan-
nah river anywhere near the city.
To carry out Col. Winn's plan would cost
considerable money. For sewer that
would meet the demands of a population
of 10000 the cost would be $l18645.55, and
for one for population of 100000 the cost
is placed at $1S5,6S2.45. These estimates do
not take into account the cost of closing
Blbo canal. They may not be large how
ever, for the amount and character of the
work to be done.
We must have an outlet for sewage and
a house drainage system. There is no doubt
about that, and these Improvements being
absolutely necessary the sooner some de
termination in regard TO them is reached
the better But, before any binding action
is taken, the commission should be entire
~ satisfied that the plan agreed upon is
the best Of all of those suggested, and thai
sewer constructed in accordance with il
would answer fully the demands of tht
city The city cannot afford to make any
mistake in regard to the matter.

game. Mac and Mr.. Cleveland became ac-
quainted and friendly The other dav
McGunnigle was in Washington and went
to pay his respects at the white house.
The President recognized him, and they
had a little chat about old times, during
the course of which the ball player ex-
pressed the wish that the President might
have a third term. NO third term for
me-" the President replied, according to
the report, Really I couldn't stand it,
And there is where McGunnigle made a
home-run hit, where the politicians for
year have failed TO touch the ball.

The experts are tesufying to some Pc
culiar facts in the Holt will case, in Wash
ington. The purpose of the case is to
prove dilapidated and partly burned
old document which purports to be the
last will and testament of Judge Joseph
Holt. An expert in handwriting declares
that by chemical test it is shown that
the ink with which the paper was writ
ten was not manufactured until about
ten years ago, although the will is dated
1873; nor was there any paper of the kind
it is written on made until at least ten
years after the date of the will. He also
found that Judge Holt was in the habit
of drying his papers with sand, while the
alleged viii was not so dried. It is a hard
matter, in these days of magnifying
glasses and chemical tests to make false
hood masquerade as truth.

Tom" Fitch's Trick on Robber.

While Tom" Fitch, the orator and pol
iucian, was practicing law in Tombstone,
A. T., he had occasion to visit Phoenix,
says the San Francisco Post On the way
Jhere the stage was held up by a lone
hlghWayman. who not only robbed the
mail and express box, but searched all
the passengers. The fellow found about
SlUJ, besides gold watch and chain.
While still i'm Phoenix the robbcr was cap
tured, and, hearing that Fitch was in
town. sent for him. Fitch's face appeared
familiar but the highwayman had forgot
ten where he had seen it, and Fitch said
nothing about the matter.

We'll. III tel you what I'll do" said
Fitch I'm defend you for $500. but I'll

All right; it's a go"
The fellow told Fitch where his money
was concealed and the attorney found it.
As soon as he had it safely slowed away
IN his gripsack he started home for Tomb
stone and left the robber to take care of
himself.
a couple of months later Fitch was
nearly frightened out of his wits TO see
the rcbber walk into his office.

Practical jokers frequently throw a
boomerang. and are themselves the suf-
ferers. That is the way it was in In
diana the other day. Five railroad yard
men were putting in their noon hour at
playing cards in box car. The wife of
one of them thought ii would be a
good joke TO lock them up, so she
slammed the door ana fastened it, The
men inside being devoid of all sense of
humor, thought only of robbers, and i'm
mediately pulled pistols and began firing
through the car in the direction they
thought the robber would most likely be.
One of the bullets found Judgement in the
joking woman's leg. which may have to
be amputated. 1t is the safest plan in the
world never to attempt practical joke,
more especially upon men who are play
ing cards.
