It is one of the ironies Of fate that
fond parents with dissipated sons
should send them to the tropics in the
hope that the outdoor life and new

with disastrous results, and nowadays,

Grams who have for years been on their
way to the devil via the tropics, mutter
cynically: "One more unfortunate.
Wonder if he has any good money to

sation ask the newcomer to take a
drink. If he takes the first one, it is
generally all off with reform, and the
chances are ten to one that he will
drink from three to FIVE times as much
as he did at home.
There are men, of course, who arc
strong enough TO resist the temptation
to drink, but they are even fewer than
one would expect. Indeed, It is only
natural that it should be so, since there
is every inducement to forget present
miseries In drink and few reasons for
not doing so. While the tropics CON

dreadful place. We all followed our
guide the one walking behind the
other, and everyone carrying a lighted
candle. The narrow ways and OPEN
ings hither al thither coupled with
the dead and heavy air soon blotted
out in all of us any recollection Of the
track by which we had come. The
triumphs of our faith are not above
the ground in our splendid churches, ;
said the Francican Father, looking
round upon us as we stopped to rest
in one of the low passages with bones
and dust surrounding us on every side.

"To visit the catacombs unless one
is prepared for the trip by some pre-
liminaty study, is more depressing
than interesting. One traverses mar
row galleries where two cannot walk
abreast. Then you come to larger ex-
cavations on whose ceilings you catch
uncertain glimpses of faded pictures.
Then you go down a staircase. where
the spectacle is repeated, only the
darkness seems darker, the stiffness
deeper, and the mystery of the place
more oppressive. But if to know
something of your surroundings and
of your religion you will come away
with i%nvigorated faith. The man is
little to De envied whose piety does
not grow warmer and whose love for
the chucrh does not grow stronger in
the gloomy depths of the catacombs."

State Superintendent Makes the Annual
Ap~portionment.
State Superintend of Public Instruc-
ton W. W. WEIGH has the
annual apportionment of the state
school income fund. The amount this
year is $105, 842. 20, being larger than
that of any preceding year. The APP
portionment last year amounted to
$40, 428. so, and was at that time an
exceedingly large amount when com
pared to former appointments. The
basis of the superintendent this year is
$1.85 per capita. Last year it was
81. SO.
State Treasurer Barrett will mail
vouchers to all of the county treasur-
ers in the state this week and they
will distribute the money among the
districts.
The entire amount of money dis
trlbuted is the cash income from the
lease and sale of lands held in trust by
the state for the school fund. The
apportionment is based upon the school
census taken last fall, showing 57,212
children of school age in the state, an
increase yer the preceding year of
1858.
Yellowstone county's census shows
1888 school children. The apportion-
ment for this county is 81, 466. O5, being
$3.50. so more than last year.
