THE proceedings OF the constitutional
convention show that the committee
on education has decided to elect school
trustees by the people. This is a grave
mistake and 1t Is hoped that the COM
mittee's report will be rejected. There
is not q city or county In the State
that has not experienced difficulty
10 securing good and competent men to
serve as school trustees. These men
receive no salary for their labors and
If they are expected to solicit the posi-.
tons and the eleotioneer aud spend
money to secure them but few desirable
men will be found who will do 60.
Then will school boards be composed of
Incompetent and designing men and the
schools will soon be used as part Of the
political machinery OF the party in
power.

MOON REcEDING FROM EARTH.
Slowly Increasing Its Distance From
This Terrestrial Planet.

Scientists say that the moon is re,
ceding further and further from the
earth, and will continue to recede for
countless ages until the terrestrial
day is shorter than the lunar month
Millions of years ago, when the earth
was a molten mass, it revolvei
around it's axis once every five or six
house. The moon then was a part of
the earth, but in time became broken
off and became it's satellite.
As the motion of the earth de
creased and the day became longer
the distance of the moon became
greater. Our day is now twenty
four hours long and the moon is 240,-
600 miles away. AS the length of the
terrestrial day increased so did the
distance of the moon. The two
quantities are connected by mex
orable equations. If one varies, so
must the other. Whenever the rota-
ton time of planet is shorter than
the period Of revolution of its satellite
the effect of their mutual action is to
accelerate the motion of the satellite
and to force it to move in a larger
orbit-to increase its distance, there

A QUEER HOSPITAL.

There's hospital down on AbssHaity
Square,
Where the queerest of patients are
tended with care
When | made them a visit saw in a
crib
A little Umbrella who had brokeS his
rib.
And then / observed in the very next
bed
A bright little Pin who had s~mped
his poor head.
They said a new cure they'd decided
to try
On an old Needle, totally blind in one
eye.
l was much interested, and soon
espied
A Shoe who complained of n stitch In
her side
And sad-loking patient who seemed
in the dumps
Was Clock, with a swell face be-
cause of the mumps.
Then tried very hard. though fear
twas in vain
To comfort a window who har bad
pane.
And I paused just q moment to Cheeri-
ly speak
With pale Cup of Tea who was
awfully weak
As | took my departure l met on the
stair
a new patient, whom they were
handling with care,
A victim perhaps of some terrible
wreck
Twas a Squash who had fatally
broken his neck.

ON CHRISTMAS MORN.

Only a baby sleeping
On gentle Marys breast,
The faithful mother keeping
Watch DER her infants rest,
Within a stable, holding
The IowIy ones of earth;
But heavenly gates, unfolding
Proclaimed the Savior's birth.
Only some shepherds tending
Their timid sheep by night,
Saw DER the hills ascending,
A star of brilliant light
That shed it's matchless glory
Upon the darkened earth,
While angels told the story
Of Jesus and his birth.
Only those shepherds, kneeling
First at the baby's feet
While on the air was stealing
Their gift of incense sweet
Worshiped the little stranger
AS King of heaven and earth,
Within the humble manger
That knew the SaviOr's birth.
Now Christmas bells are ringing,
And happy children sing;
While all the people bringing
Their offerings to the King
Repeat the wondrous story
That angels brought to earth;
They praise the Lord Of glory,
And celebrate his birth.

LINES TO A DESK.

No critic in the country
Would call thee picturesque;
Sure, there must be-dim yelled from
me,
A devil of the desk!
Right there were Jones poems
tossed
Right there were Jones poems lost.
And then-that coy corner,
With manuscripts content
Held Laura's songs in rhyming
thrOngs,
But-Lord knows where they went.
The bishops sermon, too. was there;
And now it's hiding-Heaven knows

Was ever such a mixture?

And springtime odes in fiowery

Rare lyrics of the land!
Prisons of pens not picturesque
Worlds Of confusion in a desk!

Coroner Green came down from
Rocky Ford Wednesday evening
to investigate the death OF Ii Bing,
the Chinese laundryman who died
in this city last Tuesday evening.
Several rumors were in circulation.
to the effect that there were sus-
picious circumstances attending
the death OF the Chinaman, buI
none OF them proved to be
well founded. Coroner Green de
cided that an inquest was not nee.
essary, as no evidence was secured
other than that the deceased came
to his death from natural causes.
