will be erected in Chicago during the
coming year in the vicinity of Hull
house. While the two institutions
will have the common purpose in view
of eleyating mankind, they will be
different in that the model school will
endeavor to occupy the same relation
toward the children of the crowded
district that Hull house has taken
toward their parents. One hundred
thousand dollars will be devoted by
Mrs. Blaine to the founding of this

"Yes, we've got "a concession from
the Egyptian goyerpment, which gives
us the right to mine for emeralds and
other precious stohes on the coast of
the Red Sea for tho next five years"
said well known Bond street jeweler.

sion, but it's all right. Egyptian

least of ore or ia 9cose schist, from
which the emerplds are derived.

"We expect to get some good
stones, of course, or else we shouldn't
have made the arrangement. Why,
Cleopatra's famous jewels were mined
there, and you will remember she
gave as presents to ambassadors por-
traits of herself engraved on emeralds.
The stones during her reign were re-
garded as strictly royal property. and
Egypt was described hy Vaudeville
some 500 years ago as "a country of
fair emeralds.
"Where are the mines? In the
centre of great mineral field formed
by depression in long range of
mountains which runs all along the
Red Sea coast. There are two main
emerald mining centres. That Of
Sikail, approached from the sea by
the Wadi Jamal, is the largest and
most extensive, aud some ten miles
north OF these are the Jabel Abbara

There is an old rule for finding the
length of mans life if the present
age lies between ~ and Sc years.
Subtract the present age from 81, and
divide the remainder by two; the re-
suit will give the number of years
you have yet to live. This old rule
was discovered by the mathematician
De Moivre, who emigrated to England
from France in 1865, and became q
member of the Royal society. NJ.
Schooling, who endorses the rule, af-
firms from his calculations that of
1000 individuals of 60 years 500 will
live to be 20, 100 to be 80 years, and
II to be 90; while of 1000 nonagena-
rians four will reach their hundredth
year. We may add that for men of 50
the average expectation of life is

A government official is causing
trouble because he will not draw his
pay. He does not need the money
and allows it to accumulate, using the
treasury as sort of bank, till he has
thirty warrants ahead, amounting to
several thousand dollars. And this
mixes up the bookkeeping of the gov
ernment badly, since it is unaccus-
toned to, and has made no provisions
for, this kind of an officeholder, IA
cetiously observes the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. 1t really seems
as If he ought to be put out and his
place given to man that will appre-
ciate his pay enough to take it out on
pay day. There are plenty Of worthy
men that would be glad to agree to
this stipulation; many, indeed. would
sell their warrants months in advance,
and at discount. The government
has worries enough without having
to trouble over men that will not draw
their pay when it is due.

The collection of mail in Hartford
by trolley-cars, operative since April
l, has been highly satisfactory, and
has benefited the service in many ways.
Prompt advantage of the opportunity
was taken by the people. and during
the first month of the service, 90, 200
letters and cards were collected from
the boxes in the cars. This number
was increased to over 10000 in the
second month, and in that number
were2241 special-delivery letters. This
was an increase of more than one
fourth in the number OF special .deliv-
cry letters over May in the preceding
year, showing ready appreciation by
the public of this method OF quick
communication. From the extremes
of the trolley-car routes letter ar
rives at the postotfice in half-hour,
and the subsequent immediate deliv.
cry of a special-delivery letter affords
cheap substitute for other messen-
ger service. The probability of the
establishment of a like service in
o'her cities of the relative size of
Hartford is increased by the good re-
ports from that city.
