When at length two wrathful men departed, Jerry contin- ued down cellar to look at the furnace which would have burned on for a week before it could have eaten its way through the coal that Silas had flung on. For three/days Jerry nured the crossfretful old man. He would not have a doctor on account of the ex- pense, and struggled back to life alone. ‘When at length he was able to crawl out upon the porch again Jerry was very proud and happy. “What they saying about me down to the village 1y " asked Turner sharp- 1 don't know.

The government is about to be des- troyed: society is to be reorganized: that and the other thing are soon to happen and humanity is to be radically altered. The socialist, the scientist, the re- ligionist and the politico-economist, all have in them a strain of the milien- arians who used to expect the world to be about to come to an end at & a. m., May 26. Really, however, the world moves slowly. 'People are very much the same now as they were in Xenophon's time; at least we are very much more like the people who lived then than we are unlike them. We love, marry, have families, quar- rel and make up, work and play, eat asparagus and apples and boil eggs, just as they did. All the shattering reforms of history and revolutions of history have not changed folks much. The fact is that the race changes only. by evolution, which is slow as a glacier. We think and dream and talk of mighty changes, but go on raising hay and courting girls just as the subjects of King Solomon, Who said, “There is nothing new under the sun.” “The pace of the world is slow’ says Antole France. “Man has the genius for imitation. He invents with difficulty.” ODDITIES. The school board of Paris, Mo., af- ter consulting a number of dress- makers, will prescribe a regulation costume to be worn by all girl grad: ates of the public schools. The ob Ject of the rule will be to avoid clab orateness and expensivencss. Gerald Mandell, the three-year-old son of Matthew Mandell, of Fountain Springs, Pa.. was the sixth member of ihe Mandeil family, including the mother, to submit to an operation for appendicitis in two months. A well 100 feet, beneath the lowest of several sub-cellars of a building inhabited by Chinese, was discovered by inspectors for the department of public safety in an investigation of the traps in Chinatown in Phil- adelphia.
