The Ideal SchOolhouse.

To begin with, says Mrs. Whitman in
The Atlantic, the entrances of school
house should be made as inviting as
those Of home. If there be yard, no
matter how small, it should have, first
Of all, evergreen trees in it or some bit
Of LEAKAGE which, Snter and summer,
would bring message from the woods.
It should have flowers in their season,
and vines should be planted wherever
possible. Within the school every color
should be agreeable and harmonious
with all the rest. Ceiling, floor, wood
work, walls, are SO to be treated as to
make rational and beautiful whole.
In entrance halls, for example, where no
studying is done, a fine, pleasing red or
cheerful yellow is an excellent choice.
In bright, sunny rooms dull green is
at once the most agreeable color to the
eye and perfect as background for such
objects as casts or photographs. s..
In room where there is no sunlight
a soft yellow will be found of admirable
use. The ceilings should be uniformly
of an ivory white tint, which will by
reflection conserve light and will be re-
fined and in key with all other colors.
The treatment Of wood is study in it.
self. Briefly and for practical use, wood
can be treated in two legitimate ways
either it can be painted with relation to
the wall colors, or it can be stained to
anticipate the results of time upon wood
surfaces.

Why the Irishman Quit.

There was once an Irishman who
sought employment as diver, bringing
with him his native enthusiasm and a
certain amount Of experience. Although
he had never been beneath the water he
had crossed an ocean of one variety and
swallowed nearly an ocean of another.
But he had the Hibernian smile, which
is convincing, and the firm CHANGED to
need new man. And on the following
Monday morning Pat hid his smile in a
diving helmet.
Now, the job upon which the crew to
which Pat had attached himself was
working was in comparatively shallow
water, and Pat was provided with q
pick and told to use it on ledge below
in the manner with which he was ia
miliar. -&y...
Down he went with his pick, and for
about Is minutes nothing was heard
from him. Then came strong, deter
mined, deliberate pull on the signal
rope, indicating thGsi Pat had very de-
cided wish to come 70 the top. The as
sistants pulled him to the raft and re-
moved his helmet.
Take aft the rist av it. = said Pat.

"Yis,'' said Pat. "Oi'll work. no

Blontlin's Rope.

A. J. Hamlin, an old resident Of Nj
agara Falls, declares, says the Buffalo
Express, that he was instrumental in
getting Blondin the means for crossing
the gorge the first time. Everybody
was skeptical over the pretensions Of
the acrobat, and he was unable to get
money enough to buy the rope till
Hamlin looked him over and made up
his mind that he was equal to the task
and was sincere in the under taking. He
then went surety for the rope, and it
was bought and put up-1, 800 feet Of
MANILA, with many small ropes for
guys. When Hamlin went to Blondin's
room just before he was to make the
first trip he found him playing on q
fageolet as unconcerned as though he
was anticipating pleasure drive, and
he declared that he was not the least bit
anxious or nervous.

THE CAMEL'S HUMP.
The Latest Scientific Explanation of Its
Origin and Purpose.

The Latest Scientific Explanation of Its
Origin and Purpose.
Where did the camel get it's hump?
Be it known that camels did not
originally have humps on their backs.
So says Professor Cattaneo of the Ital-
ian Institute of Science The proof that
they did not and the explanation of
why they have them now is given by
this savant in a recently published
monograph, which is the result of sci
entific study Of the subject.
The llama is known to have been
used as beast of burden centuries be-
fore the discovery of the western hemi-
sphere, but it is asserted that thousands
OF years before the first. llama carried
load upon its back the camel had been
domesticatei and was used for the trans
portation of burdens.
1t is upon thi1. point that the Italian
savant rests his theory as to the forma-
ton OF that animals hump. In the be-
ginning, he says, the camel, like the
llama, was straight of back, but 100
centuries, perhaps, of making pack
animal of the camel have brought
about the change. At first the skin
grew loose upon the cancels back. Then
there and upon it's knees the skin grew
thick and callous. Soon nature began
to pad this burdened part with fat and
muscle, then for countless generations
heredity did its work. Little by little
the hump grew, until it finally acquired
its present size.
The use of the camel in the desert
places of the world also played it's part
in the formation of this portion of it's
anatomy. For, being forced to go with
out food for days at time, nature came
to the rescue of the camel and provi-
IDENTIFY stored these humps with fat
which should nourish the beast through
its periods of privation. York

GovERNo IRIS PAY
From $1,000 70 sIo. 600 q the Range of
Their Salaries.

1T
FROM d. 800 70 $4,000 e the Ranxe of
Their Salaries. &,
Three states Of the 45 pay $40, 600 3
year each to their chief executives, or
$4,000 mora than is paid cabinet
officer. These three states are New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
All three states have incressed the COM
pensation of their govern11s within re-
cent years. Until the present constitu-
tion was amended some years ago the
salary Of the governor Of New York was
$4,000, and the governors Of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey received 81, 900
each. At the same time the governor Of
Nevada received $4,000 and the gov
ernor Of Louisiana $4,000.
In recent years there has been an at
tempt at adjustment Of the salaries Of
many governors so that these may con-
form as far as possible to the impor-
lance Of the duties of the office. The
governor of Massachu : it's, for whose
office there is an election each year, for
merly received So, 900 salary and now
gets $4,000. The governor of Louisiana,
for whose Office there is an election ev-
cry fourth year, formerly received So, s
900 and now gets 81, 1000. The govern
or of Indiana gets $5, 600 year for a
four years term, or $40, 900. The gov
ernor Of Ohio gets $4,000 year for a
two years term. Connecticut pays her
governor $4,000, and little Rhode Is
land pays $4,000.
The New England states of the north
border are not very liberal in the COM
pensation of their governors. The gov
ernor Of Maine gets $4,000 year. The
governor of New Hampshire receives
81, 600, and formerly got only 81, 200.
The governor of Vermont has 81, 500 a
year. Now 81, 500 is not large salary
for the governor Of a sovereign Ameri-
can state, but it is as much as Vermont
pays or Oregon either. But the govern
or of Oregon has a four years. term,
whereas the governor of Vermont has
term Of only two years. It has never
been established officially what, on
certain memorable occasion, the govern
or Of North Carolina said to the govern
or OF South Carolina. It is supposed by
many persons that this mysterious al
fusion bore some reference to liquid in
toxicants, but more probable explana-
ton Of the conversation is, perhaps, to
be found in the fact that the governor
of North Carolina, one of the Oldest
and largest of the original states, gets
only $4,000 salary, while the governor
of South Carolina, a smaller and less
important commonwealth, receives 3d.
500. The governor of Georgia receives
$4,000; thegovernor of Florida, So, 500.
Michigan pays a governor 81, 900; Mon
tana, a state of much smaller popula-
ton, $4,000. In Kentucky the rate is
$4,000; in Missouri, IS, 900; in Nebras-
ka, 81, 1000; in Kansas, $4,000. Mary
land pays 81, 500; Texas, $4,000; Ida
no, $4,000; West Virginia, SO, 700. Del
aware and Utah have the same stand
ard Of compensation for their govern
ors, So, 500. The governor of Alabama
receives the same salary as the govern
or of Alaska. $4,000. Wisconsin pays

A Michigan Philanthropist.

Mrs. Agnes L. d'Arcambal Of Michi-
gan is a philanthropist Of rare merit.
In Kalamazoo, many years ago, she Wis
tied the Jail and the state prison. In
1872 she began work for discharged
prisoners and secured library for
them, enlisting the school children Of
her city to earn money and buy books
for it. With their help she gathered 500
volumes. Later she has established a
home Of industry for discharged pris-
oners, which has proved Of great value.
