The Heroism OF miller In Roscuing q
Little Girl.


The Heroism of a Miller In Roscuing n
Little Girl.
The brave work of a miller in saving a
little girl from drowning 10 described
by the indianapolis Journal. The mill
owner and his wife, it appears, had gone
to the city, leaving an eight-year-old
girl at home. With other children she
went down to the mill to play, and by
some accident fell into the sluice which
feeds the turbine wheel.
The head miller heard a scream, and
not knowing what had happened, ap-
piled brake and stopped the machio
cry. Then he ran out, found the little
girl just disappearing under the water
and in he went after her.
Then lie found himself in o hard
place. The water was eight feet deep.
and he was four feet below the top of
the sluice, the sides of which were as
smooth as a polished floor. The girl
was unconscious. How was he to get
her out?
1t took one hand to hold her head
above water, and the other to keep him
self from sinking. He must try to
throw her out, and this, by great
effort, he did. But the rebound drove
him under water and against the wheel.
where he was in great danger of be-
ing caught and held. He came up
again, however, and now q new diff
Guilty confronted him. How was he to
get out himself? lie sank to the bot
tom, gave an upward spring, and as
he came up half-blinded, succeeded in
catching the top of the sluice. Then,
by the greatest eXertions, he drew him
self out.
The girl was still unconscious, but by
vigorous measures was at last revived.

Greek DIFFERS"
1t is charged, with good deal Of
vigor and generality of statement, that
the college fills the mind with useless
knowledge and trains it in antiquatcd
methods of thought and action, says
the Forum. In the same breath it is
added that the scientific school gives
practical knowledge and that its train
ing is vital. The comparison between
the dead languages and the modern is
made-always to the credit of the mod
ern. The value of modern history and
of economic science is made to appear
greater than that of ancient history
and of philosophy. Scientific studies
are lauded as by far the most precious.
The humanities are discredited. I re-
member hearing at a hotel table q con-
versation between two recent graduates
of the scientific school of Il rich and
famous university. "Mr. -" said
one, gave several thousand dollars for
any use the officers wished to make
of the money. And what do you think
they did with it? Why, instead of buy
ing something useful, they spent it all
in buying some mugs of the old Greek
buffers" 1t was evident that the study
IF the humanities had not seriously in
fiuenced the manners nor the linguistic
tastes of the graduates in question.

COSMORAMA.
Again did the Entertainment Occupy the
Boards at the Auditorium.

The second night of the Cosmorama
was greeted by very satisfactory aud
ience who witnessed even better eve-
ning's amusement than was that of
the night before.
There were number of new features,
not the least of which was the cleo
trical display of Il. f. Sprague, which
added much to the displays, and espec-
tally the pictures.
The choir of ST. Luke's church, under
whose auspices the entertainment was
given, have realized very nicely; and
the young ladies who so kindly gave
their time and efforts, have the hearty
thanks of that body.

She Thought the Case Required Heroic
Treatment.
They had been married less than n
year when she noticed that her husband
stayed out late at nights and when he
did come home was apt to be noisy and
demonstrative, says the Detroit Free
Press. On his part William observed
that he could never find a. knife to cut
a bite to eat, and that even the family
shears were out of reach, while his raz-
ors at such times were locked up and
the key hidden.
He did not say much, because he was
not in q condition to talk, and when he
was sober he did rot care to refer to the
past.
But he grew worse instead of better,
and one night he went home at a laic
hour and found the hall brilliantly
lighted and on the table under the gas
an assortment of all the cutlery in the
house. Knives, scissors and razors al
luringly open met his unsteady gaze.
"MM-Mary," he called, "w-w-what
d-docs t-this mean?"
"It MEANS" she answered, from the
top of the staircase, "that ever since
you've been cutting up in this manner
I've been afraid you would do as you
threatened to do-lsill yourself with
some of those things"
"Y-y-yes, Mary"
"Now I'm beginning to be more
afraid that you won't, so thought I'd
give you every possible chance"
There was sound of cutlery by
night, mingled with forcible though
unsteady words, and William has re-
mained at home every evening up to
date.

Desertions from Uncle Sans Ships Are
Few and Far Between.
The report from Washington to the
effect that 1000 bluejackets are needed
to man the new vessels of the American
navy about to go into commission re-
calls remark made by Admiral Bunce
one day last summer, says the New
York Mail and Express. The North
Atlantic squadron lay at anchor off
Staten Island and Father Knickerbock
er and his country visitors were 60
ing down to quarantine daily to look
at the splendid fighting ships. A re-
porter went aboard the flagship one
morning and enjoyed pleasant chat
with the gallant admiral. Said he:
"The type of man-of-war's-man of
to-day is far different from the old
unknown from the navy now. Here is
vessel which cost in round numbers
100000. The men consider it their
home and they take an immense
amount of pride in it. How many men
are there ashore who can sleep and
eat in q house which cost as much
money? Look about you and note the
faces of The bluejackets here"
The sailormen in sight were certainly
a fine-looking lot. The admiral sur
veyed them admiringly and then said:

goes the vessels in the American navy
are away ahead of those of any foreign

cRusoE's ISLAND DISAPPEARS.
Reported Sinking OF Juan Fernandez
Land by Volcanic Action.

Land by Volcanic Action.
A few weeks ago vessel putting in
at Lisbon after a trip around Cape
Horn, reported the destruction by vol
canic action of the Juan Fernandez
island, famous as the scene of Robin
son Crusoe." The master claimed to
have seen the catastrophe from the
deck of his vessel. The report was not
given credence at the time by scientific
men, and many denials were printed in
papers and magazines. But Capt.
Powells, of the British ship James Kerr,
asserts that the story is generally be-
lieved by seafaring men all over the
world. The James Herr has recently
arrived from Newcastle, N. S. W., where
she was laid up four months on account
OF the coal mine strike. Capt. Powells
met n very large number of master
mariners there, and says that the de-
structlon of the island was n matter of
common gossip among them. The
captain himself has not passed within
sight OF the island since 1889, when he
secured photograph of it from the
deck OF his ship. He says that some of
the captains who arrived in Newcastle
while he was there verified the report,
thta the island was missing.

ing Machine.
A woman thrasher is novelty-that
is, outside of the schoolhouse or home.
And the one in question is genuine
thrasher of the golden grain of the
northwest, says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. She came into one of the Minneap
oils farm machinery houses the other
day to make her final payment on her
machine. This was startling and
marked her as a woman of business ca
pacity; for the man who makes full
payment on thrasher this season is re-
garded as an exceptionally good man.
That the lady inquestion had a business
head is further evidenced by the fact
that she succeeded in working" the
manager of the establishment for $3.50,
the amount of her fare home.
She innocently told him that to pay
her bill in full would take every cent
she had and she must take out enough
to get home. While the manager gen
tly demurred at receipting the bill in
full with this discount off, she ingcn-
iously limited that it would cost more
than $3.50 to seifd q collector after the
balance, and he tumbled to the situa-
ton as gracefully as possible. Mrs.
Thrasher Cor perhaps it is Miss) said
that she had made 50 200 out of her ma
chine and had 1S7 stacks of grain 10
finish this winter, which she proposed
to do if the snow was hub deep. Consid-
ering the fact that many machines arc
being taken back on mortgages this
year, no one can successfully maintain
that a woman is not adapted to this new
field for woman's activity.

cause they actually put their money

No meaner example of cringing to
the power of money has ever been
shown in America than the action of
the trustees of Brown Univerity in
warning President Andrews that he
must leave off the advocacy of bimet-
allism or he will be asked to step down
and out of his position. The question
was not raised regarding the right or
wrong of the principles he advocates,
but because that educational institu
ton would lose the bequests which
persons of wealth might be inclined to
bestow upon it if taught political econ
omy upon any lines not approved by
the oligarchy of wealth. Has it at
length come to this pass in America,
that principle must be governed by
money even in our great educational
institutions? Must only theories of
political economy be taught which
please the money powers? Then was
this great republic founded in vain.
Let us quit making spread eagle ora
tions on our national anniversaries
but hold meetings upon that day to
laud the bankers and financiers for
permitting us to live and work for them.
