Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works.

From the London Chronicle
The horror of night in a waxwork
show is not suggested for the first time
in the new Drury Lane drama. Dickens
tells how Little Nell slept in the COM
pany of Mrs. Jarley's figures: There
were so many of them with their great
CLASSY eyes. and, as they stood one be-
hind the other all about her bed. they
looked SO like living figures, and yet so
unlike in their grim stiffness and
silence, that she had a kind of terror
of them, and would often lie Watching
their dusky figures until she was obliged
to rise and light a candle. or go and sit
at the open window and feel COM
panionship in the bright stars. And
Mr.. Lucas has written that he would
rather be chairman of haunted house
inquiry committee than spend night
with Tussaud's figures. Surely they
move a little at night. Very slowly.
am sure very cautiously = You

two glass eyes being painfully brought

Recent Discovery in Pompeii.

From the Scientific American
A discovery of great interest was
made not long since at POmpeii. where
the excavation work is being steadily
carried on. Under the ash deposits there
was found an extensive villa of a hand
some construction and Ornamented with
very fine frescoes. The villa contains
statues and other works of sculpture both
Greek and Roman, besides very rich fur
niture which Is we'll ornamented and also
many vases of different kinds. There
were also found Golfers filled with gold
and silver money. In the basement are
great amphorae which were used for stor-
age purposes, and in the triclinium the
tables were prepared for a banquet of
thirty persons. An abundance of silver
ware is one of the features of the ,discov
cry and 1t is said to be equal I'm weight
and artistic character to the silverware
discovered in the villa of Boscoreale and
now possessed by the Louvre. Some of
the silver pieces seem to have been taken
out at previous epoch. for there are
traces of clandestine search which was
made at a former date.

A practical farmer as we'll as a
business man of this city made the
observation not long ago that 1t he
could have the difference between
the yield of few Of the good corn
raisers of Redwood county and the
average throughout the county, for
a single crop. he thought he would
be able to retire from the business
of trying to make money. 1t was
along this same line that James J..
Hill compared the average yield of
wheat in Minnesota with the average
of the whole United States, "sloven-
ly and wasteful as it's agriculture
is" and arrived at the conclusion
that if Minnesota wheat raisers had
even done as we'll as the average
they could have been two million
dollars richer, while if we had aver
aged as we'll as our sister state of
Wisconsin, it would have meant
twenty million dollars to the good
for Minnesota grain raisers. The
average of oats also was compared
with Wisconsin, showing that the
latter state raises 40 per cent more
per acre than Minnesota farmers do.
In few states do potatoes grow as
well as in Minnesota. said Mr.. Hill

Minnesota's slovenly farmers only
averaged 76 bushels. The differ
ence amounts to more than three
quarters of million dollars.

What is the value of a boy? The
question is suggested by the five
days sensation which terminated
last week with the recovery OF the
Whitla boy, after his father hao
spent $4,000 in detective expenses
and the ransom of $40, 900 which was
finally paid. and later recovered
with the arrest of the man and wo-
man who worked the scheme. Many
boys have cost their parents more
than that, when their market value,
so far as their ultimate productive
capacity is concerned. was only a
fraction of the amount at best. But
this was a seven year old boy, and at
that age the average parent sees in
the boy the prophecy of a man who
will make his mark in the world.
The pity is that many live to be dis
illusioned and to realize that their
own indulgence of the possible bene-
factor of mankind is largely respon-
sible for the failure of their hopes.
Too many boys go through life assum-
ing that the world owes them a living
and a good time-that the matter of
duty relates manly to what is due
to them rather than what is due
from them, in the way of service to
their parents and society. This is
particularly true with boys whose
parents are well-to-do. Bows born
to honest poverty and compelled to
work out their own destiny may
think their lot hard one, but in the
long run it is such boys, rather than
the pampered sons of the wealthy,
who really have the best opportuni-
ties for developing into useful and
honest lives. What boy is worth
depends of course upon the boy
and not upon his opportunities.
The right kind of boy will always
find the opportunity to show himself
a man.
