EVERYDAY GEOGRAPHY.

Newspapers and Electricity the Map
Makers of the Times.
From the Troy IN. " Telegram.
We are making geography as we'll as
history rapidly these days. An atlas
year old is away behind the times. The
Alaska gold craze has made the old maps
of that section almost valueless, and the
indications are that China soon will be
nothing but a piece of patchwork But
the newspapers today are the geographers,
and accurate maps appear in their pages
almost as soon as the telegraph brings
news Of changes. The youthful mind has
no difficulty in grasping these alterations
because they are accompanied by move
ments which hold the interest.
The study is not of geographical topics
heavy with the dust of ages, but of lands
and people who attract attention because
electricity keeps them practically at our
doors. The newspaper supplements the
text book, and the combination fills the
youthful mind with more valuable knowl-
edge of things geographical than it was
possible for our ancestors to acquire. II
competent hands the good newspaper Is
the best supplement to geography ever is
sued, and the time Is coming when no in
strrctor will refuse to put it to daily use.

THE OLD HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Amusing Stories Told by an Habitue
of the LObbies.

Amusing Stories Told by an Habitue
of the LObbies.
From the Fortnightly Review.
Mr.. Frederick Gale, who was an habitue
of the Hobbies Of the house Of commons for
forty years, narrates some of his curious
experiences. Referring to Bellamy's kitch-
en-, so wildly described by Charles Dickens,
and to the members who were wont to fire.
quent it, he says: you got the best chop
and steak and cold meat and salad in the
world, and the parrot who called Order
order!' and Chair! chair and all the cries
| of the house, and the immortal Jane who
chafed every one-as described by Dickens
ere still there; and members of the gov
eminent might be seen eating their dinner
at real deal kitchen table. Give YOU a
kiss?' Jane asked of a young member, who
was chaffing her, you, younger son. and
only a borough member! Why. l boxed
dukes ears for asking such an impertinent
question yesterday There was a very diff
ferent house of commons from the present
one in those days.
An amusing story is told of Lord Palmer
ston, who had just had a stormy interview
with deputation which came to memorial
lie him on the subject of the wine duties
Just as they were leaving the room a sud
den thought struck him, and he called them
back and said. perhaps, gentlemen a rec
objection Of my boyhood may help you.

Old Pam had hit the bulls-eye, and the
deputation retired, with much laughter"
The "reminiscences that center in John
Bright are equally amusing. For example:
II call to mind hearing him, in 1S48 in the
house of commons on the appointment of
new bishop of Manchester. Quoting from
memory (as do throughout, he said, You

apostles? Not bit of it. He went out

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Marshall, the Gold Discoverer, Miss
ed His Chance.

Marshall, the Gold Discoverer, Miss
ed His Chance.
From Harper's Weekly.
Had Marshall been q man of ordinary
shrewdness or tact he could have made q
fortune by taking up claims ard working
them by hired labor. Instead he wasted
his time and energies in efforts to prevent
predatory attacks on his cattle and saw
mill, and caused SO much ill-feeling that he
was forced to seek safety by fight. This
experience soured his disposition. and on
his return he foolishly boosted OF rich
mines of which he knew, but the location
of which he refused to disclose. Hungry
prospectors, eager to make their fortunes,
were driven nearly insane by such tan
talizing, and again Marshall was compelled
to leave suddenly to save his life. His mill
was torn down and most of his property
conf1scated. He returned, built small
cabin near the scene of his great discovery,
and there lived the life of, q recluse, pros
pecting in the mountains and ekfng out a
poor living.
Efforts were made too secure a pension
for the man who started the great de-
velopment of California, fand the legis-
lature granted allowancesefor four years.
amounting in all to $7R0o.i This was all
the money that Marshall ever received
from the state for a discovery that made
scores Of millicraires, and that crowded
into ten years the normal development
of a half century. Marshall regarded him
self as an ill-used man. He nursed his
grievance. and as a hermit he lived till
August 10, 1885, when he was found dead
In his lonely cabin.
His grave is en- a hill net far from the
site of his great discovery, and two years
after his death the state erected a monu-
ment to his memory. The monument is
of granite, is thirty feet in height
and is surmounted by a. bronze statue ten
and half feet high, representing typi-
cal California miner.

From the Kansas City Journal
Mr.. ]. H. Smith Of Paducah, KY, tells a
good story on himself:
Fifteen year ago, when I was but a
seemingly incorrigible youth" said he
Il CHANGED while out hunting one day to
trespass upon the farm of one of our neigh
bors whose acerbity of temper was known
the country over, with the result that a
severe chastising was given me. At that
time my anger knew no bounds, still dis
erection was not entirely overthrown and
kept my own counsel, with the result
that a plan for revenge at last occurred to
me. So one dark night when all the eie-
ments seemed at war, with pockets we'll
filled with johnson grass seeds. l sailed
forth and here and there scattered them
about his magnificent field.
I'm few years the scattered seeds have
covered the field, with the result that II
had to be abandoned for agricultural pur-
poses and eventually one Of the finest farms
in the old blue grass state was overrun
with this pest. The years went rapidly by
and soon both my father and the old farmer
were gathered to their reward, each leav-
ing a single child. 1t was only last year
that my chicken came home to roost,, SO
to speak, for I then led to the hymeneal
altar the sole surviving heir to that john
son grass field In the person of the lovely
daughter of my enemy Of boyhood days.
To-day" said he sadly, about all we
have in this world in the way of realty is
that magnificent waste OF rapidly grow
ing grass. Every time / look at that old
farm I am forcIbly reminded Of the short
sightedness Of human flesh in general and
the fact, after all, a strict observance OF
the golden rule is by long odds the best
policy. Today 1 am spending every dollar
can possibly rake and scrape together In
q seemingly vain endeavor to render SER
viceable my wife's inheritance"

SAM JONES' PLATFORM.
Simple. UnaduIterated. Tnpurchas-

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, yesterday
said: Rev. Sam Jones today announced
his platform as candidate for governor.
He made the announcement in a public
address
Next to himself the evangelist favors
Allen ID. Gambler for governor, and he
fires hot shot into the opponents of that
gentleman. Speaking OF the crusade
against corrupt politicians. Mr. Jones
said:
when you shoot in the hole where they
are they will come out a-humping and
swear they were not in there But they
are fun of shot all the same. You can tell
VINO was in the hole by the gang that ran
out and hollered. United States Senator
Steve Clay swears he Was not in there
ana don't believe he was. And Dubig-
non sw,ars he was not in there. General
Evans said that the hole was so full he
90 uld not have gotten in il he wanted to-

the great crowd that came out of there
in the last few days
The platform which j stand and
have stood for twenty years and more is
Simple. unadulterated. unpurchasable I'M
bulldozable manhood"
As to the tnar cial issues the evangelist
said: Il am sick and tired of the average
little politician racking around over the
state preaching gold buggery or cham
pioning silver diggery. which he uses
simply a bhndfold to hide from the
eyes OF the people his own inefficiency for
the office he propC ses TO fill or 10 raise an
enthusiasm on question about which
