uany American Towns, Once Pop
uIous, Are Now Abandoned.
Not in the old world alone is TO be
found the "silent Amyclg" over which
Virgirs two words have kept scholars
puzzliug for nearly 1000 years. In
this United States, which we are wont
to think so new, there are scores of
dead cities" Nor are they prehistoric.
Many of them rose, fiourished, declined
and died within the memory of living
men. and most of them the spade OF
the excavator will never dig up. They
have vanished completely. In this era
are published some rambling notes Of
score of these dead cities. Naturally
most of them were mining towns, and
when the mines producing crop that
cannot be renewed were exhausted
they died. Some of them, such as
Bannock and Virginia City, in Mon
tana. were even political capitals.
Now there are fewer than fifty people
in Bannock and fewer than 100 in Nir-
ginia city. Then there was Bodie,
Cal. which less than fifteen years ago
had G.OO0 people and whose mines had
paid in five years $22,0OO,00O in divi-
dends. The mines failed, the town was
deserted, and a few years ago fire
swept the site bare.
But the failure of mines does not ac-
count for the death of all these dead
towns Springfield, Kan, was once
large enough to build $4,000 school
house and TO put In waterworks. At
last accounts there were 200 houses
and fewer than 100 people I'm the town,
and the hydrants were hidden in the
prairie grass. At Saratoga a $4,000
theater finds none to tread its boards
save the wandering tramp. At Fargo
Springs the $4,000 schoOlhouse bell
rings when the wind is strong but no
children come. These dead Kansas
towns are the fading monuments of an
error of observation as 10 the normal
rainfall of the western part Of the
state
Ancient Troy was found TO be buried
in its own rubbish. That also was the
fate of Yam Hill In the latter fifties it
was n prosperous gold camp. The pla-
GERS there were exhausted, but new ones
We're found farther up the stream. The
impatient gold seekers deserted the old
town and built new one. The earth
and gravel from the new placers were
washed down upon the old town and
covered its buildings. Now only the
gable of n large livery barn emerges
from the soil to show where Yam Hin
was. Perhaps when Macaulays New
Zealander comes to sketch the ruins Of
London bridge an antiquarian col
league may dig up Yam Hill and draw
all sorts of conclusions as TO the civili- |
zation of prehistoric America.
Nor are these dead towns to be |
found in the mining and semiarid re- |
gions only. At the junction of the Sa-
vannah and Broad rivers in Georgia |
are now only fields of grain and graz
ing sheep. Yet there once stood Peters
burg. regularly laid out and prosper |
Dus town of the days before the rail
roads came. Now there is not n single

The Penalty of PoIiteneas.

In London the other day n man was
sitting in comfortably full street
car when a lady entered and broke the
law by hanging in pathetic desperation
to the end of one of the straps. which,
although provided for the use of pas
sengers. are not tolerated by the police
OF magistrates of the British metrOpO-
lis. Gallantry supervened. The man
rose from his seat and relieved the
lady from the necessity of breaking
the law. hut by doing so he broke it
himself. Then the policeman entered
and all those standing were elected.
and the man was forced to walk home.
On the way any number of crowded
cars passed him which refused to take
him on. and so he walked, cursing the
position that medieval chivalry gave
women. But his injuries were not yet
over. He received a summons and was
haled before a magistrate in a police
court. together with others The con-
ductor explained the situation and told
how it was only politeness that made
the prisoner break the law. but it was
all of no avail to him. The magis-
trate sentenced him to pay fine OF
3 shillinCs and shillings cost. and an
embittered misogynlst left the court
declaring that next time he would keep
on reading his paper and let the wOm-
en- grapple with the straps.

NEW CLUBBING LIST.

AS this is the time of the year when
the people are considering what
papers they will arrange for for the
co ming winter we give below list of
papers on which the MONITOR will
make special prices. These prices are
a little in advance of former years
This is due to the fact that in past
years these papers have been sold to
the subscriber at the price we paid for
them, thus obliging us to stand the
postage, cost of ordering, etc. A GER
tain number of errors will occur,
m any of them on the part of the pa
per ordered, causing &C ditional cost
to us in postage and time. The ad-
ditional charge is expected to prac-
tically cover the expense in ordering
these publications. We have dropped
the magazines from the list because
nearly all of them are sold through
the large agencies, in combinations,
at figures which we cannot meet ex-
cept by making the combinations,
which it does not pay Us to do. We
will, however, order magazines or
other publications for any of our
readers if they desire them, charging
a slight advance above their cost to
US.
From this date, Oct 5. the MONITOR
will be furnished with the
Boston Weekly Journal for 50. %

Practical Arithmetic in Schools.

Practical Arithmetic in Schools.
Teachers of arithmetic in the upper
grammar grades will do we'll to send
to the Vermont Experiment Station,
Burlington, Vermont, for its free
bulletin No. 1O2 on The Measurement
of Saw Logs. 1t contains a new
simple, and closely accurate rule or
formula for the estimation of the
board feet in a log and briefly dis
cusses the general subject of sawlog
measurement. The school boys of
to-day in the rural schools will be the
log sellers and buyers of tomorrow.
This practical example in applied
arithmetic will be useful in the after
life of tens of thousands of school
boys. The bulletin will be sent with
out charge to any school teacher on
request. A postal card addressed to
the Experiment Station, Burlington,
Vermont, stating desires, is sufficient.

Education is not a matter of
schools, colleges, and universities.
Some men are better educated out of
college than in it. All highly
educated men, no matter how liberal
their advantages may have been, are
self educated. The school and the
college teach men how to study and
what tools to use, but, when they
have done with the school and the
college, they are only at the begin
ming of education.-Success

Why do the mobs respect the mail
cars and the men in the service of
the United States? Because they
know that they cannot modest United
States property or assail men in
the service of the Unit d
States with impunity. They know
that something will certainly happen
TO them and that no flimsy excuses
will avail if they attempt to set up
their law of the mob against the law
of the nation. Who taught the
Chicago mobs this lesson? Grover
Cleveland-a president who knew his
duty, who never sought pretext for
failing to discharge it, and who
simply discharged it, promptly and
uuswervingly, utterly regardless OF
all specious pleas, all opprobrious
epithets and all threats OF political
destruction.-Ch Chicago Chronicle.

1t is penny wise and pound foolish
policy for a state to neglect to make
an appropriation for such an exposi-
ton as the one to be held next year

seems to realize this now that it is
too late. The only thing that re-
mains is for the corporations and
private citizens to join hands and
raise a sum large enough to exploit
