MR. GLADsToKE's HEALTH.
1t IL "Fairly Good" ms the End Of
Lie APpI coaches.

H - "r a1TIy 1OO0 ms the End OF
Lie Approaches,
Hawarden May i2lThe reviving phys
ical powers of Mr. Gladstone are almost
a wonder to his friends. 1t is known
that within the last ten days his physi-
clan has told the family of the dying
statesman that death might occur at any
moment Yet he still lives and with the
exception of the broken sleeps that dis
turb him at night gives no sign Of more
than the ordinary prostration that natu-
rally accompanies a man of his past ac-
tive life and present advanced years.
His physical condition as summed up by
his doctor. who is in attendance every
day. is that the grand old man" is wear
Ing on towards the end and that his
health, considering every circumstance,
Is fairly good"
A letter written by member of Mr.
GladstOne's family says the patient has
not left his room for fortnight 1t adds:
1T had been hoped he might have some
sense of enjoyment as the warm weather
returned and turned the whole earth into
a garden; but the truth is. he has taken
leave of all portions of the earth. He is
possessed with q sense Of departure. His
body, mind and soul ask for no food of
any kind. His one desire is for peace.
He has longer times of quiet sleep, or rest,
with closed eyes, than when the morphia
treatment began, but, though he has con-
siderable physical strength, he is unable
to listen to anything but a short mes
sage of one or two sentences. Even this
is often an effort He has seen three or
four friends outside of the family, but no
conversation occurs. Nothing but a fare
well blessing for each.of them"

THE WORLD TOPSY- TURVY.
An American Electrician Has n Plan
to Bring About That State
of Things.

Missionaries have long dreamed of so
changing the earth's axis as to confer
on "~Greenland's icy mountains" the
temperature of%"India's coral strands"
and vice versa. Newton Harrison, an
American electrician, comes to the
front with a new plan for turning the
world topsy-turvy and making it move
this way or hal way at his pleasure.
The force he would employ for this
purpose is electricity, and by merely
touching a button he would regulate
the climate of the entire world. His
scheme is to girdle the earth with q
giant cable and to send through it a
current of electricity strong enough
to overcome the present magnetic
poles Of the globe. The effect of this
mighty electric influence would be to
transform the earth into a huge cleo.
tro-magnet of such tremendous pow
er that it would tend to lean violently
toward the sun, because the suns
chief constituent is iron. The only re-
quisite would be the generation of n
current OF this enormous energy. and
the fall Of water at Niagara would be
more than sufficient to operate tur-
bines powerful enough to develop this
needful energy. Man could thus abso-
lutely control the s He could
cool the tropics and warm the Arctic
and Antarctic. The whole world
would become a beautiful garden. all
the earth's surface would be re-
claimed for agriculture, crops would
never fail and bread famines would
Ease.

California Has the biggest Bird.

The South American condor is no
longer the king Of flying birds. The
rare California vulture. which is now
only to be found in the Cocopah noun
tains. holds the honor. 1t stands about
four feet high, though it is neither rs
wetghty nor as strong as many birds
OF smaller size. II has much the same
appearance rs the turkey buzzard.
Years ago the California buzzard was
quite plentiful, but poisoned meat in
tended for animals led to their en-
tinction. 1t is fer this reason that the
eggs OF this bird are now more valuable
than those Of the great aux. There are
Is perfect specimens of the latter
known while only two eggs of the
California vulture are preserved.

The Greek bow was not more than
three or four feet in length, but wa so
stout and stiff that it required consid~
cradle strength and skill to use it.
The Romans carried the bow to Brit
ain, where ii at once obtained favor,
and during the middle ages was extern
sively used, forming ar important ele-
ment of the armies of thatperiod.
While. universally used by the an
clients the form Of the bow varied with
different nations. The Scythian bow
was in form of the letter C and the bow

ias just returned to this city after
spending nearly n year among scat
tering tribes, with some. so heads of
chiefs, squaws, medicine men-on an

renirs in the shape of Navajo blan-
jiets, bead~work, basket-work, pottery,

to impuFity. The child that comes out
of the pure home, knowing nothing OF
evil, is more predisposed to investi-
cation or the lines of evil than the
child who comes out Of the impure
home is disposed to search for some
thing which may exist in the lines OF
purity. The two elements are thus
br ought in contact with one another
in the public school, and it is not I'M
fair to say that the predisposition to
evil is much larger in it's force and its
power to proselyte than the predispo-
sition toward good is able to exercise
a commensurate control in the other
direction.
There will always be found in every
public school room a certain number
Of children who, unless they are prop
eIly controlled by moral influences, will
lapse into the class of degenerates. To
obstruct such an evil is one Of the
primal duties Of every teacher of the
young.
The proposition, therefore, to create
branch in the public school system
Of the country which shall have for its
supreme object parental control over
and instruction Of a certain class Of
children whose environments pre-
clude the possibility of education in
the lines Of morality is eminently one
that should be encouraged, not only
in Chicago, but in every city Of large
population in the country. 1t should
always be borne in mind that the chill
dren who are instructed in the public
schools of the United States are des-
tined hereafter to become the electors
OF the pation's policy and the creators,
IN a smaller or larger degree, of its
laws. Nothing possessed Of moral
quantity in the way of instruction, 50
far as it shall be applied to the forth
coming generation, should be with
held.
The teacher or the principal Of a
school does not always feel justified
in carrying to the extreme limit OF his
or her judgment the discipline which
is required in this regard. 1t ought TO
be a fixed ordinance in every munich
paIfty, that those VINO. seem to be pre-
disposed to q degenerate life should
receive q certain course of treatment
which will prove, in it's results, an
education and a disc pine calculated to
Intellect from the path which leads to
evil to that which leads to good.
Chicago may prove a model in It's
system OF thus treating the young
Which St. Paul and other cities may
reasonably initiate, in substantial de-
gree. The perpetuation of this republic
is unquestionably founded in the pur-
ity Of thought and the intelligence Of
the young, who are. by destiny, COM
PEELED to develop into it's fullest matu-
rity Of purpose the primal idea Of self
government.
The plan proffered by the Times
Herald is to supply a branch in the
public school system which shall pro-
vide a method Of discipline calculated
to alter the natural tendencies of the
young to evil pursuits. This is right
and should receive the commentator
Of every community in the country.

Parental Schools.

1t is creditable to the Times Herald
of Chicago, that the paper carving
that name should take so much interest
in subject which ought to command
the attention Of newspapers of every
community.
The point is simply this. Children II
large cities are introduced into the
public schools indiscrininately, and
upon the basis OF their own right TO
enter There are many unruly children
OF both sexes thus introduced. Tha
child or children Of the home where
correct principles prevail and moral
impulses are excited must inevitably
come in contact with the child or chill
dren of homes in which these ideas are
totally unTecogniZed.
If men and women would thought
fully trace the history Of the public
school through all the meshes Of its
cosmopolitan characteristics, they
would realize. perhaps, the force of
o intact Of nature with nature. DISPOSE
ton with disposition. good with good.
evil With evil produced during the pro-
cess OF education Of the Young and
demonstrated in the fUllness Of power
in maturity in every part. The good
child-that Is to say, the child that
has been brought UP under the in
fiusnces of a proper moral training
goes into the public schools and comes
in contact there with the child whose
earlier associations have been alto

Perhaps a good deal OF discomfort
has come to the people of st. Paul and
Minneapolis on account of the big snow
storm that they are obliged to enter
tain whether they would or no. But
the greeting which has been given 10
the blizzard, which, by the way, is said
to be one OF the most pronounced in
force Of energy during the past fifteen
years, has been most cordial from all
directions.
The fact of the matter is no snow
storm Of great dimensions has fallen
upon the Northwestern territory under
circumstances which seemed to carry
a commensurate amount Of value with
the discomfort that always follows the
early advent OF cold weather. The
temperature in the Northwest during
the autumnal season has been mild and
mellow. and the ground has only
frozen in spots. The snow came in
great blanket form upon this condi-
ton Of the earth. There is no big de-
post of frost underneath, and as the
snow melts IT will pass into the soil
deeper and deeper and with an ac-
ceptabiiity which the agriculturist may
not fully comprehend, but the advan-
tages from which he viii enjoy during
the next harvesting season. Every
body ought to be thankful for this
visitation under SO propitious condi-
tons The poor, who were not pre-
pared for the advent of a heavy snow
storm like that we have experienced.
may suffer, but it is the duty Of those
" n will ha hanaGfa6 ht-f
the snow at this season of the year to
look around them and relieve whatever
suffering may accrue. St Paul itself
does not require any reminder in the
way of supplying an index to It's duty
to the poor. There is no city on the
continent in proportion to it's popula-
ton which is more generous to those
who have fallen in the struggle of life
in its efforts to render substantial re-
lief
But speaking more specifically in re-
gard 10 the outlying country Of the con-
ditions under which this big snow fall
has come there is reason for thankful
ness. The nerves of nature are all in
tluencod by such a visitation; and the
advent of the storm so early in the
season and under conditions which are
So favorable ought To prove a most
hopeful sign with respect to the out
come of the next years production OF
the soil.
Tomorrow every family will be gath
cred together around the family board
for the annual Thanksgiving. Many
will look from the windows Of their
humble homes over a vast expanse Of
territory covered by the white sheet
which nature dispenses at this season
of the year. The view may appear
bleak and uncanny but everyone
should remember that the spirit of
resurrection exists underneath this
shroud, and that it viii exalt itselr
under the increasing power of the sun
light during the Vernal season and that
however hopeless the outlook may an
pear today, the fruit is surely to be
ganered in the days that are to fol-
low under the warming influences Of
the spring and summer glow Of
natures smiles.
