With this issue of the Union our
work as Oxbow correspondent comes
to a close. No, we have not had any
trouble with the boss, but circum-
stances call for a change of location
for a time at least. It is with re-
gret we leave the friends of this
neighborhood and, as we expect the
u to follow US wherever we are,
we hope to often see the old familiar
names in the paper.
The young ladies from this neigh
borhood who attended the Milaca
summer school say they enjoyed the
term very much and speak in high
praise of the people of Milaca, the
instructors and the county superin-

interested listeners-the speeches Of
Governor Eberhart and Hon. r. G.

a Dark Smoke,

Funny thing about smoking! If a
man were compelled to puff a good
cigar with his eyes shut the operation
would lose it's zest. A man who had
undergone a slight operation upon one

room for a week with his optics band
aged. After a few days his doctor
told him he could take a gentle smoke
if he liked. He jumped at the chance
and to his amazement found it af-
forded not the slightest pleasure. To
be sure, men often smoke in the dark,
but there's always the rosy glow Of
the lighted end to be seen and the
faint outline Of the cloud of smoke in
the air. There's no more fun in a
sightless smoke than a saltless egg Or
kiss implanted upon your own hand.

Serving Soup.

If anybody were asked to suggest
why the soup plate was made broad
and shallow the almost certain answer
would be that such an arrangement
facilitates the cooling Of the soup to a
temperature comfortable to the mouth
We believe that utilitarians drink tea
out of a saucer for the same reason.
While that may be the explanation Of
the peculiar shape of the soup plate
the advantage indicated is surely in
compared with the obvious
disadvantages which may probably
arise from exposing so large a surface
of nutrient fluid to the air. Soup
should be served in a cup, low broad
teacup. and the method. which is be-
coming more usual, is hygienic. Too
deep vessel would be an error on the
other side. It's advantages would be
cancelled by it's great drawback We
should miss some Of the delicate fla
vors of the soup.-London Lancet.

A FAMOUS DWARF.
BoruIwaski, the Pole, Was Handsome,
Scholarly and Wittv,

A notable dwarf. who had long
lease OF life over parts Of two centu-
ries-he was born in 1889 and died in
1S37-was BorulWaski, the Pole, of
whose debut an interesting tale is
told. AS a boy of fifteen, when he
was just one inch higher than a two
foot rule. Borulwaski was presented
to the Empress Maria Theresa, who
was so charmed by his good looks and
grace that she seated him on her lap
and gave him hearty kiss To the
queens question as to what he con-
sidered the most interesting sight in
Vienna the dwarf replied, "What 1
now behold, so little a man on the lap
of so great lady" This speech rem
dered the little fellow a great favor
tie.
He became a special favorite of
Stanislaus H., who took him to Eng
land and introduced him to George
ILL.,, and for more than half a century
BOrulWaski made his home at the
English court.
This dwarf, who at his tallest was
yard and three inches. had a sister
whose head just reached her big broth
ers shoulders. Borulwaski was not
only handsome and courtly man, but
a scholar Of repute. He lived in five
reigns, and when he died, lacking only
two years Of reaching the century
mark, he was laid to rest in Dunham,
side by side with the Falstaffian
Stephen Kemble.

Grey's government after the second
reading of the first reformed bill had
been carried by majority of one in
1881. and one Friday in April they
suddenly got the king to go down and
prorogue parliament in person. Some
body went off to the Tower to fetch the
crown, and with q scratch body Of at
tendants his majesty drove down to
the house Of lords. What happened
there is described in Greville's men,
oirs.
The king ought not properly to have
worn the crown, never having been
crowned. but when he was in the rob-
ing room he said to Lord Hastings:
Lord Hastings, wear the crown.
Where is it," 1t was brought to him,
and when Lord Hastings was going to
put it on his head he said, Nobody
shall put the crown on my head but
myself" He put it on and then turned
to Lord Grey and said. "Now. my lord,
the coronation is over"
The crown did not fit very we'll, we
are told, but the propagation was sue
cessfully efected.-London Chronicle.

WASHING AWAY THE LAND.
Erosion of the Drainage Basins Of tho
United States


investigations by the United States
geological survey of the erosion Of
numerous drainage basins of the Unit
ed States show that the surface of the
country is being removed at the aver
age rate of about an inch in 76O years.
Though this amount seems trivial
when spread over the surface of the
country, it becomes stupendous when
considered as a total or even in sep
arate drainage basins. The Mississip-
pi river, for instance, carries annually
to the sea 1876, 100000 tons of dissolved
matter and 34O,500,OOO tons Of sus-
pended matter, and of this total the
Ohio river carries S3,350,OOO tons and
the Missouri river contributes more
than twice as much. The Colorado
river, which has built up for itself a
vast delta, brings down more suspend
ed matter than any other river in the
United States, delivering annually 3S7
age basin or a total of 10O,74O,OOO
tons.
The rivers Of the United States car
~ to tidewater every year 27OOOO,OOO
tons of dissolved matter and 513,OOO,-
600 tons of suspended matter. This
total Of 7S3,000,O00 tons represents
more than 350.O00,0OO cubic yards of
rock or 610,0O0000 cubic yards of sur
face soil. If this erosive action had
been concentrated on the isthmus of
Panama at the time of American oc-
cupation it would have excavated the
prism for an eighty-fve foot level ca
nal in about seventy-three days.
