The P0st-Intelligencer says that fewer
railroads went into the hands of re-
ceivers In 1897 than in any year since 1857.
While this is true. what is the reason?
Is It because Of the return Of prosperity,
or is Il because almost all the railroads
were I'm the hands OF receivers before 1897
and consequently there was nothing for
the receivers to get?-Tacoma Sun.
Both. 1t was because Of the restoration
OF confidence following the panic and the
disastrous silver agitation

Predictions for che Twentieth Gem
fury Are Broad.
1t may be that we are, withrespect to
the coming century, in the same imma-
ture mental condition in which the peo-
pie of the eighteenth century were with
regard to the nineteenth, says the Pop
ular Science Monthly. If some one in
the preceding century had dared to pre-
dict the wonderful achievements of the
nineteenth, he would probably have
been declared a fool, and treated as
was Robert Mayer, in Germany, in this
century, who, after the discovery of the
law of the conservation of force, was
put into an insane asylum. A like fate
might befall the man who should dare
now to cast horoscope for the TWEEN
tieth century, and to predict the prog
ress of the human mind in the various
domains of scientific research. After
all, those may be right who, in spite of
all those acquisitions on which we so
justly pride ourselves, are of opinion
that we are still moving in only the
initial steps, in the leading strings of
evolution. and that we are yet very far
from the goal of those material and
ideal aims which the human race in its
unremitting onward struggle is des-
tined to attain, or TO show its capacity
of attaining. The great Sir Isaac New
ton used. perhaps, the most appropriate
simile when he compared men with
children who on the seashore are pick
ing up here and there a curious pebble
or colored shell while the great sea of
truth lies still unexplored before them.
We can only conjecture as to the prob
able progress, as we cannot know which
position we occupy in the course of hui
man evolution, whether we are still in
its beginnings or well advanced. This
lies hidden in the bosom of the future.

eagerly around her chair.
1T was when we were early settlers
in the Western reserve, more than 60
years ago. 1t seems hard to believe
now, but ii was serious undertaking
then TO start fire. We had no
matches, and each family had its tim
der box, which was kept on the end
of the mantel shelf, and we struck a
spark with flint and steel on bit of
charred linen when we wanted a fire.

DRAWING ON THE WALL.
A Rome Writer Says the Descriptions
Have Been Exaggerated.

The Roman correspondent of the Ber-
lin Tageblatr throws cold water on the
exaggerated reports of the discovery
by Prof. Marucchi of a. drawing of the
crucifxion on an ancient wall in the
Eternal city. he says that the sketch
is so faint that the outlines of the
cross, as well as Of the persons sur
rounding it, can be made out only with
the aid of a magnifying glass, and
then very imperfectly. TO decipher the
scene supposed to be represented, to
say nothing of the inscription, requires
n strong imagination. So far as the
persons represented are concerned. it
is quite possible to make ont what they
are doing. The hammer that Prof. Ma
Tucehi thought he saw in the hands
Of one of the soldiers climbing upon the
cross might just as easily be a flag
Beneath this figure is To be read the
name "Aiistillus,' or something like it.
In the upper left-hand corner are 10 be
seen the Roman numerals NJ, ~. and
Y. A ladder is leaning against both
crosses represented, and il Is quite pos
sible that the picture may be Of a scene
aboard ship. OF the supposed figure Of
Christ, the correspondent could see
nothing at all. lie could read plainly
the name 'Piletus" Plainly, also, APP
pears through the confused mass Of
half-obliterated Latin and Greek in
scriptions, though party injured by
dilapidation of the wall, the name
"Crestos" (Christus), behind which a
large picture Of hammer plainly APP
pears. The entrance to the room where
this Withdrawing is found is under the
so-cai'ed Bridge of Caligula."

Coly had even learned to talk, pick
ing it up mostly by himself, though Of
course, his vocabulary was very linn
tied. 1t seemed he never could bear to
have anyone lie in bed Of d morning,
for if they were the least bit tardy he
would come to the bedside, making all
manner Of noises, and If he could not
arouse them in this way would at last
resort to a clever trick of his. Throw
ing himself on his back, tluttering and
feigning great distress, he would
scream at the top Of his voice; "Coly's
sick! Coly's sick!" never stopping until
they did get up. after which the sly
rogue would resume his customary
dignity and be perfectly we'll again
His owner feared somewhat lest he
should leave when he would hear other
crows cawing, bat on the contrary Coly
seemed to have decided antipathy for
his uncivilizcd fellows and never
showed the least desire to join them

and no way Of dilating the chest; there
fore he must Literally swallow air as

the creatures mouth open causes the
