Mother Symptoms Prophecy.

The most remarkable prophecy ever
made by any one was undoubtedly that
of Mother Shipton. 1t was first pub
lished in 144S, and is found again in
papers printed in 164l, which was
still long previous to the realization
of any Of its predictions, all of
which have now been fulfilled except
the last.
These are Mother Symptoms words:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with
woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinklinR of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange shall yet be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold found at the root Of a
tree.
Through hills man shall ride
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under the water men shall walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black and green,
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown,
In land that's not now known,
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at last admit jew
The world to an end will come
In eighteen hundred and eighty
one"

thorized to arrange with the Railroad

\ Chicago man who has a large
number OF employees under him has
posted up in the various departments
of his establishment cards which
bear the above caption and the fol-
lowing terse rules. These make 1t
very plain what he expects and what
he noes not expect of those who draw
salaries from him:
Rule I.-Don't lie-it wastes my
time and yours. I'm sure to catch
you in the end, and that's the wrong
end.
Rule II-Watch your work, not
the clock. A long days work makes
a long day short, and a short days
work makes my face long.
Rule III.-Give me more than |

you expect. | can afford to increase
your pay if you increase my profits.
Rule IV.-You owe so much to
yourself that you can't afford to owe
anybody else. Keep out OF debt or
keep out of my shops.
Rule V.--Dishcnesty is never an ac-
cident. Good men, like good women,
can see temptation when they meet
it.
Rule VI.-Miud your own business
and in time you'll have business of
your own to mind.
Rule VII.-Don't do anything here
which hurts your self-respect. Tie

me is capable of stealing from me.

dissipation affects what you do the
next day. and you do half as much rs
] demand, you'll las only half as long
AS you hoped.
Rule IX.-Don't tell me what I'd
like to hear but what ought to hear.

| need one for my dollars.
Rule X.-Don't kick ii ] kick. If

Good boys are always admired. BY a
good boy we do not mean a sissy or
a mollycoddle A good boy can have
a better time than a boy whose par
ents are always worrying about him.
There is nothing which promises a
good time that good boy may not
do. The mean things boys do always
cause them trouble. And we firmly
believe that boys are becoming bet
ter all the time. Yesterday we wit
messed a boy BAH game, without hear
ing an oath or rough word. A boy
should always bear his future in his
mind; he is rapidly becoming a man,
and it is uncomfortable to become an
unsuccessful man. Therefore, boys
should remember that good boys are
the first to be offered positions. En-
ployers are always contending with
each other for the gooG boys. But
employers always say OF boy with
bad reputation: He isn't worth
the powder and lead to blow him up"

EUGENICS
And What it Means-TheOry
OF the New Doctrine of
Race Improvement.

Eugenics means primarily good re-
production, and to the degree that it
is possible to carry it out, it will eliL-
mate the congenital criminal, the in
sane, the idiotic. the dipsomaniac,
those tainted with hereditary disease,
the violent, and 1t is to be hoped, the
Philistine. 1t would also encourage
reproduction in stocks which have
shown themselves of a high degree
OF civic worth" And it would so
surround life after it is produced that
it cannot become bad. In this lat
ter point eugenism becomes associat-
&c in its aims and policies and educa-
ton.
At present eugenics is scarcely more
than an idea and a sentiment. There
is as yet no definite program to which
even its own advocates would all sub
scribe. For this, indeed, a more per-
feet knowledge OF biology is required;
and to make any program effective,
will be necessary. Certain things we
do now know. Children are at present
largely in the class of accidents; they
are not universally desired, and mar
riages are not arranged with refer
ence to producing the best specimens
OF our kind. The families of the eco
nomically better classes are not as
large as they were fifty years ago,
ard the same is true of the more Ca
pable artisan and working classes,
while the families of the very poor
are not diminishing in numbers. In
sanity, suicide, dumbness, dipsomania,
erotism and violence are on the in
crease, both because they are bred
rapidly and made possible by the. bad
social conditions.
The idea of eugenics does not i'm
ply that the family is to be Interior
Ell with or in any way modified, ex-
cept that the family situations may
be improved, as indeed it should be.
Marriage should not only be undertake
en- without a view to good offspring,
bu: the family should be developed
most acutely. 4 sentiment and a
calculation with reference to maxi
mixing the number of efficient indi-
viduals in the family and in society is
all that eugenics implies. And this
interest would cover not only the con-
ditions of the reproduction of chill
dren. but more fundamental interest
in their neutrality-suspicious. w. l.
Thomas in the American Magazine.

Haunting Spirit Makes Good.

Sterling. ILL.,, June 4.-Friends and
neighbors throughout Whiteside coun-
~ are discussing in awestruck wins
pers to-day the strange events as
sociated with the burial this morning
OF Mrs. Emma Stelzer, who vowed in
a death message that unless her flu
neral was conducted from the house
of Jacob Warner, the man she loved,
she would send her spirit to haunt
and to veX him for the remainder of
his life.
Warner scoffed at the strange
threats and would have nothing to do
with her funeral. The pastor scarce
ly had begun to read the burial SER
vice, when the earth around the open
grave caved in.
Just as the pallbearers were about
to lower the casket into the grave
one side of the grave caved in again
and caught the casket, holding it
like wise.
Warner. who laughed at the threat
that her spirit would return to haunt
him all his life, is now deeply stirred.
