IN A TROPICAL FORC3T.
Who knoweth the joy of untamed forest
streams.
That laugh in »unless ravines and disdain
The rending cataracts with a «mile which
giearas
Like jewels flashing amid summer rain?
No vivid verdure that is born in spray.
No glistening fern that courts the floated
breeze,
No palm that sways in rhythm with the lay.
No lofty lordling among anrient trees.
No thing that's rooted, bound and moored to
place.
Nor even Roaring birds, who roam to die.
May know the joy of their untrammeled race
Who run in careless immortality:
I wandering on their trackless banks am
bound.
My thoughts alone their liberty have found.
—W. Clayton Pickersgill in London Spectator.
Napoleon III and the I'ainter Couture.
The favorite painter of the Third Umpire
was Winterhalter, as Delaroche had been
of the Orleans family." However, an o rtler
was given to Couture for a large picture
representing the baptism of the little
prince imperial. lie went to work with
great ardor, making sketches and prepar
ing a vast composition. In the course of
the work lie had to have sittings from the
various members of the imperial family
and their immediate followers. If a por
trait paiuter, when his sitters are ordinary
mortals, has nearly always to undergo
many unpleasant scenes, it is easy to judge
how his temper is tried and his nerves un
strung when those sitters are princes or
sovereigns.
It is likely that in Cou tu re's case the sit
tings were not agreeable either to the
painter or to his models. Napoleon III
wished to direct his artist, and of all art
ists Couture was the least easy to direct.
Finally ont* day, goaded beyond endurance,
the painter turned around and said. "Sire,
who is to paint this picture—your majesty,
or I?" And neither painted it. The em
peror gave no more sittings, turned his bafck
on the painter, and his courtiers turned
theimalso. The order was not maintained,
and all the work of many months was
wasted.—Li. P. A. Healy in Century.,
French Public Schools.
Germany will have to look to her laurels
respecting her position as the foremost
country in the line of popular education.
France has taken a vigorous start to over
take Germany, and made such great prog
ress in the education of her people that she
is now only a little behind her groat rival.
Twenty-five years ago not J>0 per cent, of
the recruits drafted into the French army
were able to read; at present 110 per cent,
of them are able to read and write.
In 1872 there were iVi.OOO public schools:
at present there are about (»7,000, an in
crease of 20 per cent. In 1872 there were
T6,000 teachers: at present there are above
100,(XX), an increase of 40 per cent. In 1872
there were 3,830,000 pupils attending public
schools: at present there are 4,400,000, an
increase of 21 per cent. Or. 11,000 new
schools were built, nearly 600,000more pu
pils are Iwing taught and 30,000 more
teachers are employed at present than

Once Every Fifty Yearn.
The Rrownia ari/.a is a liotanical curio»
tty. It Is a species of palm, and it is
known to bloom only at interval* of ex
actly fifty years. There is but oue speci
men of Rrownia in the conservatories tif
Europe, that in the collection at the (itr
man imperial palace. The blossoms last
but forty hours, and to get sight of n
Brown in in full bloom is one of the sights
of a lifetime. The one in question bloom: .-4
in July. 1888. The only other iustance or
one blooming iu Kurope was that at t*.e
conservatory of the Duke of NorfotK.
which bloomed iu June. 1831. It died in
1858.—J>t. Louis Repu Iii ia
Why It Hurt.

Small Fortune between the Cruel».
A cigar dealer was recently compelled
to move from his down town stand,
which he lmd occupied for £5 years, be
cause of the demolition of tho old build
iag.
lie packed his belongings with many
a sigh of regret. When he had got his
things all out, bo turned to tho work
men, who were waiting to begin tearing
doWn the building, r.nd remarked in a
rather sarcastic tone:
"Well, boys, you may kavo all you
find in this old trap."
The workmen begau on tho old Coor,
which had been worn into hollows by
age. It had not l «en replaced since it
was originally laid.
One of tho men l ipped up a board with
his crowbar, raising a cloud of dust.
When he got it out of his eyeo, ho saw
something shiny ia the crack. /
He picked it up, and it proved to be a
dime. Further investigation revealed
the fact that tho crack was lined with
silver.
This was an incentive to the workmen.
They plied their crowbars with remark
able energy for men poorly paid. In this
instance they were amply rewarded.
In ever}' crack of the floor silver dimes
were found. Some of them bore dates
of nearly half a century ago. The men
gathered the coin in liandfuls.
* The cigar dealer, in speaking of the oc
currence, said that he hadn't the slight
est idea that so much money could bo
lost through carelessness and a poor
floor even in 35 years.
14 But it won't happen again," he said.
"When I heard of it, I immediately gave
orders to have my new store refloored
with hard wood, and no cracks, at my
own expense."—New York Herald.
A Striking Presentiment.
It is carious how futuro events are oc
casionally prefigured by some anticipa
tory token which, unlike presentiments
and premonitory dreams, makes perhaps
no impression at the time on those whom
they concern.
Here is a striking example. One of
Charles Dickens' sons, from some childish
oddity of expression in his large, won
dering eyes, was given by his father the
very unique sobriquet of the "Ocean
Spectcr," by which he was always called.
The great novelist never knew of the
weird significance his playfully bestowed
appellation was to bear, for he himself
had been nearly two years in his grave
at the time his little "Ocean Specter,"
then a lieutenant in the royal navy, died
and was buried at sea.—London Tit-Cits.
A Miniature Volcano.
One of the curiosities of this country—a
cariosity that does not appear in the his
tories—is the burning mine at Summit
Hill, near Mauch Chunk, Pa. ft ha* been
on fire since 18Ô8, and no scheme or device,
though hundreds have been tried, has l*en
able to suppress the liâmes. Vou can see
nothing but a hill from which steam and
gas escape at a thousand different points.
The rocks arc so hot that sometimes it is
impossible to touch them without pain,
and all vegetation on the mountain has
long since disappeared. How deep the fire
extends there are no means of knowing,
but it certainly must be a miniature Vol
cano, and millions of tons of coal since the
fire first started have thus been slowly con
sumed.—St. Ixmis Globe-Democrat.
A Cliance for Inventors.
There is still a chance for invention in
electric railway control ling switches. The
awkwardness of regulating a car's speed
by a brake which turns one way and a
rheostat crank which turns the other is
evident. Sooner or later a lever arm or some
similar device will replace some of the
confusing number of crauk motions with
which manufacturers at preseut equip
their cars,—New York World.
JJogn à na« i/bii irot.
Dogs that can trot in fast tune r.re
somewhat rare, but Canada holds one
and the United States possesses another.
The result is that there has arisen talk
of an international race between the
two rapivl canines.
The dog that trots tinder the British
flag is named Doc. and is owned and
driven by Willie Ketchnm. of Brighton.
Ont. Doc iu an old campaigner, and has
trotted exhibition heats at races and
agricultural fairs for several years. He
pulls a tiny sulky, and on ice or a hard
track he can trot half a mile in 1m. 31s..
end a quarter iu 45 seconds. Doe is
rather a small setter, but his stride is
said to be extraordinary. From two to
four furlongs is the distance the Cana
dian wonder usually covers.
The proud upholder of the stars and
stripes is a pointer owned by Willie
Circe, of Carson City, Nev. The dog is
only two years old, but liefore he was
much more than a puppy his young
master had discovered that he always
trotted whenever hitched up. One day
Circe raced with and passed his father's
trotting stallion Black Prince, on the
main street of Carson City, much to the
elder Circe's discomfiture, aud from
that day to this the fame of Nevada's
trotting dog has waxed greater and
greater. Neither dog is allowed to trot
more than half a mile at a time.—New
York Mail aud Express.
A Painter's Memoirs.
The memoirs of Delacroix, the painter,
written between 184i> and 1863. are in the
press. They are in the form of a diary.
Few persons knew of their existence.
Dumas tils was one of the few. and long
tried to get them into his possession.
After Delacroix's death they passed into
the hands of his devoted friend, the
painter Andrien, who was his pupil and
studio assistant. Audrieu kept the di
ary as a relic, thinking that publication
wonhl be desecration. He died a short
time ago. and Iiis widow took the manu
script to another of Delacroix's pupils
to ask what she should do with it.
A sheeting of the author's heirs was
called. They decided on publishing and
appointed a Mr. Flat to edit the manu
script. What gives it so much artistic
value is the great number of marginal
and other illustrations of the text. The
frankness with which the author speaks
of the men, women and eveuts of his
time makes excision obligatory. Delà
croix is as frank about himself as about
his friends, many of the children aud
grandchildren of whom are still living
—Paris Cor. London News.
Tlie Onyx Quarries of Arizona.
There are now on exhibition at the
Institute of Building Arts alnmt thirty
specimens of onyx from the recently
discovered deposits in Arizona. Until
the discovery of the Arizona quarries
the only source of supply of this stone
was in the La Pedrara mines iu the
state of Puebla. in old Mexico. Speri
meus from the Arizona de ]k >sit show
that the stone can be obtaiued in this
country in a size suitable for architec
tural purposes and of the Hnest quality.
While the Mexican deposit was only
three acres in extent originally, and is
now practically exhausted, the Arizona
quarries cover about 300 acres.
The specimens on exhibition show in
finite variety in color and take the high
est polish. . T exhibit consists of thir
ty odd «Iah» '"it one inch thick and
varying fr«r VAtir to twelve square feet
in area. Arizona deposits are lo
cated abtftirtwenty-seven miles sonth
west of Prescott. and a branch railroad
has already been projected.—Chicago
Times.
Footers ICiitcrtaininent.
In 1747 Fcote arn:ngc j d an entertainment
at the little Ilaymarket theater called
"The Diversions of the Morning." which
had extraordinary success: nearly all the
characters were rude portraits of person
ages well known in town. The public
rushed to see, hut as he also performed the
regular drama iu an unlicensed theater
the authorities interfered. He then
thought of a rather colorable device to
elude the law: "Mr. Foot« liegs the favor
of his friends to come and driuk a dish of
chocolate with him, and he hopes there
will be a great deal of comedy and s'ome
joyous spirits: he will endeavor to make
the mornirvg as diverting- as possible.
Tickets for t his entertainment, to lie had at
St. George's coffee house, Tem»)Ie Bar,
without which no persou will lie admitted.
N. B.—Sir Dilbery Dibble and I*ady Froth
have absolutely promised.''
It was found impossible to suppress this
sort of performance, and Mr. Foote's
"show" became the rage. His plan was to
introduce a number of young |>erformers
whom he affected to l>e instructing for the
stage, rehearsing with them and making
sarcastic remarks on the leading writers,
politicians, etc. of the day.
Kmlmldetied by success, he presently
changed t lie season of performance to the
night time, and called it "giviug tea."
Later he held an "Auction of Pictures,"
another framework, in which he introduced
well known characters, such as "Orator"
Henley and the magistrate who had made
himself active in "puttingdown" hisshow.

What tho Mormons Did.
It is to the credit of the Mormons that
they opened the path of civilization across
the contiuent. It is chieliy through: tlia
Mormons that the roads were made more
safe than they otherwise would have been
by reason of the large number of Indians,
many of whom were very savage and en
tirely unfriendly to whites, that roamed
from one part of the continent to the
other. These Mormons had l>een driven
out from Nauvoo and Arkansas aud Mis
souri. They fir^t made a settlement on
the east bank of the Missouri river at
what is now known «is Council Bluffs, but
was then named Kauesville. They crossed
the Missouri river and established the
town at Florence, and in the early spring
of 1848 they started out across the conti
nent on foot, with wheelbarrows or what
ever conveyance they had at hand. Men
and women walked all the way from the
Missouri river more than 1,000 miles
through a wilderness where not a blade
of grass had been grown by the baud of
man.
The Mormons were largely instrumental
in the construction of the Pacific telegraph,
and Brigham Young constructed a great
portion of this pioneer line Ijetween Salt
Lake and Julesburg. where the connection
was made on July 4, 1862, which placed the
Atlantic and Pacific states in telegraph
ic communication.—-Edward Ilosewuter's
Omaha Address.
lUt Sparrow Nuisance.
A venerable ornithologist was standing
in a group of people the other day watch
ing the movements of a fiock of English
sparrows, as they flew about from tree to
tree in one of the down town squares. Oc
casionally one of the most during would
secure a bit cf food from the sidewalk, and
Hying off would be pursued by the whole
company in post haste, v. hen an incessant
twittering and fluttering would l>egin.
The old gentleman looked at them wist
fully and said:
These are the birds that were brought
over from England to protect the trees in
our city parks by eating up the destructive
worms and bugs, but they have turned out
to l>e a most lamentable failure, and have
reproduced so rapidly that they are now
the pest of this country. They are regular
pirates, driving the robin, thrush, wren
and all our choice songbirds almost out of
existence. Then they won't touch a worm
so long as they can get anything lietter to
eat, and they have no more regard for
their young than the king of the Cannibal
islands.—Philadelphia Press.
Easter Lilies by Thousands.
The Easter lily may be seen by the thou
sands in the fields of Bermuda. From
these islands there used to be received
quantities of the flower. They were packed
in moss, but more often than not reached
us here in a faded condition, discolored by
the packing and too soft to handle. After
some years home florists liegan to raise
them, and now they furnish a lily with
which the Bermuda flower cannot com
pare. The trade from the island has falleu
off to almost nothing—so far as florists
north of Washington are concerned, at
least. Perhaps the increased popularity
of this flower is due to its longer life and
superiority over those of former times,—
Boston Transcript.
Julia Ward Howe and Her Grandpa.
With all his gravity. Grandfather Ward
had his gleams of fun occasionally. It is
told that Julia hail a habit of dropping
off her slippers while at table. One day
her father felt a wandering shell of kid,
with uo foot to keep it steady. He put
his own foot on it aud moved it under his
chair, then said in his deep, grave voice,
"My daughter, will you bring me my
seals, which I have left on the table in
my room?" And poor Julia, after a vain
and frantic hunting with both feet, was
forced to go, crimson cheeked, white
stockinged and slippcrless, on the re
quired errand. She would nevur have
dreamed of asking for the shoe.—Laura E.
Richards in St. Nicholas.
A Church Organ Pumped by Hydraulics.
One of the large church organs in Eng
land is supplied with wind by powerful
feeders worked by three hydraulic engines
and an electric motor. The pncninat-ic
lever is applied to the great and swell
organs and the couplers in connection with
thcin. The solo organ and pedal organ art
played by means of an improved tubular
pneumatic action. The draw stop action
is also pneumatic.—New York Times.
