A certain professor went to tbo trouble) of purifying tbo air of all tbeso germ, and then fed it to some small animals, which promptly died upon bis bands. Tbo enormous amount of wool now used for milking paper every ycur may bo judged from tbo fact tbnt a Paris newspaper, tbo Petit Journal, which bus a circulation of over a million copies a day and is printed on wool pulp paper, consumes in a twelve month 120,01)0 fir trees of an average height of si.ty-six feet. This is said to be equivalent to tbe annual thinning of 20,000 acres of forest.

Tbo growing influence of newspa pers in Hchool education was illustra ted tho other day ut a eoufercneo of tho Public Education Association in Now York, when Miss Josephine O. Locke, supervisor of drawing in tho publiu schools of Chicago, told bow tho children aro being trained to search thn columns of tho press iu Working on topics of a public nature. It should bo one of tho functions of every school to teach tho children bow to read a newspaper to tho best ad vantage and also what uowspapcrs should bo read. Tbo valtio of thoroughness in tho treatment of any subjoct bas received a recent illustration in tho caso of Professor Roentgen, who gave tho matter of his X ray photography bo exhaustive a study beforo publishing auything with regard to it that it bas taken tbo rest of tho scientific world a month to catch np with him. It is said that photographs taken by him aro better than tho majority of thoso taken by other experimontors. Pro fessor Itoentgcu's modest paper on tho subject of his discovery, says the Scientific American, has not beon 0.x ccedud (in interest, clearness of state ment, and precision of deductions, b all which has been pubhshod siuco. A Now Y'ork Press writer says that Mciielck, Jung of Abyssinia, had a do cided advautago over tho Italians, when it oamo to a questiou of food. It was next to impossible for tho sons of Bunny Italia to get their supplies from one part of that rough country to another, and tho troops wcro ofton obliged to go hungry, not becauso tbero was nothing to eat, but bocuuso it could not be got at. Menelek man aged thoso things better. Accustomed as bis people are to existing largely upon raw meat, thoy never think of butchering cattlo for their commis sariat, but drive them along on the march, and when hunger begins to pinch them tbey bavo a habit of cut tingjfroro shoulder and ilank strips of raw meat, which they devour.

ELL, I don't like to bo lectured I" said Hylphido Egcrton. She rat on tho rudo stono stile, with her flully gold en tresses all disor dered by tho wind, her cheeks roddoncd with tho stormy brightness of tho March sunshine, and a next of littlo field mice in her lap, whoso mother bad been killed by the schoolboys under a fallen log. Hylphido a rrenturo ot reckless im pulsebad driven away the littlo ty rants, who were about to torment the Lelpiess brood, and was now carrying homo tho nest of velvet soft orphans, to caro for them as best sbo could. "They nro only field mice, to be sure," said Hylphido, "but they aro so helpless and so cunning I Ami if no ono clso will sncnor them, I will." Ho, in tho disbabillo incident to climbing half a dozen fences, wailing across a brook and making ber way through a thicket ot tall bilberry bushes, Miss Hylphido found herself confronted with tho young clergy man, whoso spotlessly neat uttiro and air of quiet dignity were an unspoken satire on ber own torn dross and brier scratched hands. "Can I help'yoit over tho stilo, Miss Egcrton," Baid Mr. Highland, cour teously. "No, you can't 1" said Sylpbide, secretly hoping that if sbo kept sit ting tbero ho would not discover that tho llouneo was half ripped off her 1 dress, and that sbo had lout ouo shoe in tbe mud. , Ho smiled a littlo at ber brusque reply. "It ii after sunset," ho said. "The wind prows chill. "'i ' r L 'w It t" jr-d Hjf.'xiiul "Ion dun t expect to sit hero all tho evening?" Perhaps I shall!" said Sylpbide, darting dolinui'o at him from under ber level, golden brows. "1 don't know of anyone who bas a right to dic tate to mo upon tho tubject." mt. Highland stood looking fit ber with folded arms and imperturbable gravity. inn bave been on a long walk?" said be. Yes," acknowledged Sylpbide, picking at tho fringo of a little scar let India scarf that h li wore. And yet," be went on, "you tell me that you cannot liud tiiuo to at tend tho daily afternoon service?" Hylphido llushed to tho very roots of ber hair. "I don't want to bo lectured." oid the. 'And I am tho last person who has any right to lecture you, Miss Egcr ton, " said Mr. Highland. "All I ask of you is to stop and think. Indeed, I cmuot comprehend bow it is that tho devotional sweetness of your sisters can bavo so littlo effect upon you." un, 1 Know I ' said Hylphido, be ginning to lose her temper, as sho al ways did whou tho perfections of JoBcpha and Lesbia were sung in her cars. "My sisters are angels, and I am a castaway." ".Hiss Hylphido " But sbo put both bands to her cars. "I told you I would not bo lec tured," said she. "Pleaso to remem ber that you have brought this on yourself!" Mr. Highland colored a little, lifted his bat with punctilious courtesy and passed on. Why was it, he asked himself, stern ly, that this lawless littlo romp, with the deep blue eyes and tho cloud of golden hair, had such power to tor ment him with her icekless moods and wild caprices? .lo had done bis best to civilize bor. Ho would abaudon tbo task here, and let her go her own fantastio way. And not until ho was ent of sight did Hylphido bnrst into a passion of tears. Hho would have cut out her tongue sooner than tell Mr. Highland tbat she had meant to como to church that afternoon, but that the episode of tuo neld-mieo had entirely uriveu everything else out of her head. "He always soes me at my worst," sbo sobbed. "Well, why need I caro? m him faucy me a savago if ho likes. What is it to mo?" Whou sho reached homo still with tho nest of field-mice tenderly elapsed to her bosoin Liosbia, her tall, bund some sister, met her on the threshold "Goodness gracious, Hylphl" bIio cried. "What a fright you have made oi yonrsolf I "I am always a fright," said Bylp hide, with ironioal calmness "accord' jug to yon, at least." "Mr. Highland was so grieved at your missing tho afternoon service, aid soft voiced Josephs, who had red (told hair and eyes of real pansy blue, like a picture. "Was he, indeed?" said the robel of the family. "I wish he'd mind his own business I" "Oh, Sylpbide," said Josepba, "don't speak so I And what havo you got there? norrid little mice, as I livol Oh, do throw them away !" "They are darlings," said Sylpbide, her defiant eyes softening as she gsr.ed down at her drab treasures. "And I'm Roing to bring them np by hand and teach them all sorts of cunning tricks. I know it can be done." "Oh, indeed!" said Lesbia, severely. "You have timo to set np a private menagerie, and romp with all the cats and dogs, and ponies and calves on the place, bnt you hsve no timo to paint Easter enrds for tbe Sunday school girls, althongh Mr. Highland especially requested ns " "Mr. Highland again!" burst out Sylphide, passionately. "You may bo Mr. Highland's obedient slaves you and all the other unmarried women of tbe rongrcgetion bnt I havo declarod independence 1" And she ran away to tbo barn cham ber, a fragrant littlo nook, where, ever since sho was twelve years old, she bad possessed ber own little sanctum, nn- ili'iturLed by prying eyes, to make a warm nest for ber little orphans until sbo could smuggle in some milk from the kitchen. And Lesbia and Josepha met Mr, Highland the next day at church with sweet, sorrowful faces, hico grieved Madonnas. "Vo aro so sorry," said Lesbia. "But Sylpbide refuses positively to help ns with tho Easter work." "It is absolutely impossible toiutel est her in church affairs!" signed Josepba. But Mr. Highland's heart gavo a throb of esultation when, as lie, was half-way through tho service, be caught a glimpsocf a slight, veiled figure at the very back of tho church. "It was Sylphide, be said to him self. "I am quite sure it was Sylp hide; but sho slipped aw,ay beforo I could get to the door to speak to her. But what an incomprehensible little sprite sho is !" Tho work for the coming Easter wns progressing bravely. Lesbia and Josepha Egcrton were deep iu illumi nated letters, sheets of leaf-cold and autiqno devices. White calla buds and lSermuds lilies were being coaxed teudorly iuto bloom, wreaths of ever green wero being woven by busy hands, yet from all tho industrious group Mr. Highland missed tho face of Sylphide Egertou more keenly than ho himself would have been willing to confess. And when Mis Itoberti Hall, an elderly maiden whose matrimonial hopes wero not yet entirely blighted, groaned over Sylphide's iniquities, the youn clergyman found himself taking up tho cudgels in her defense with some emphasis. "Sho is very yonng, Miss Roberta," lip .'d '.'Wv. n.irl..,ciir-, ,er O'uie. " And Miss ltoberta, whoso fault was asmrcdly not thnt of extreme youth, could only llush up aa 1 be silent. It wns i.aster Lve when Mr. High land, after superintending tho decora tion of the church with tho freshest of spring (lowers mid tho brightest of illuminated bautiers, came to look for littlo Willie Egerton, who had prom ised to get In in some rhododendron leaves and wild laurels Iroiu the woods. "lie's out in tho barn, I guess, like ly," saiil Jones, tho hired man. .Shall I look for him, parson? "No; do not disturb voursolf," said Mr. Highland. "I will go myself." He went into tho barn, ascended tho narrow, wooden stairway and entered the little burn chamber, whoso doois stood wide open. A curious, quaint apartment it was, its side bung with drawings, engrav iugs cut from old magazines, auu o Ids ami ends of chintz the tmuset laying bars of g"ld u-'ross its rudo board floor, while the field mice, now g'rowu to a very respectable size, skurried under tho table and eyed the intruder with a startled gaze. Ou tho table in tho middle of tho room wero scattered imiuting ma terials, while a lovely, haif-tluishod card displayed a devico of lmsaion flowers, wreathed around a circlo of thorns. Besi.lo it lay a hrnsu and a saucer of brilliant water colors, whilo ono ot Hyliibida Egerton's gloves had fallen on tho floor elo.-.o to tho chair. "Mr. Highland, is this tho work of a gentleman?" While ho was still standing gazing at the half-unfinished work, a slender figure had glided in, and Sylphide stood at his side. Never bad sho looked so entrano- ingly beautiful ; never had her eyes glitterod with such sapphire light, or her lips worn such a rich scarlet. "Sylphide," ho said, "I had no idea tbat this studio was yours. I came hero to look for Willie. It seems I have surprised your secret." "ios, Hylphido unswered, passion ately, "you have ! 1 have toiled here daily in solitude; I havo painted an Easter card for every child in tho parish ; I have embroidered an altar oovcr on white billiard cloth, all by myself. I havo visited the sick, taught tho little oucs and tried to help those who wore helpless. And yet and yet-" Tears choked her voieo; sho cov ered her eyes with bor hands. Mr. Highland took the little, trem bling hands in his with a tendor and reverent clasp. "Sylphide dearest Sylphide!" he cried "try to forgive me, for I never cau forgive my del f, for thus rashly and presumpiut"sly during to judge yon !" Nothing more was spoken just then; but tho golden sileneo was sweeter than balm. Eye appealed to eye, and tender tears washed out all traces of offense. "Sweet Sylphide. I love yon I" said he. And, with downcast lids and crim soning cheeks, she answered: "And I may confess it now I love yon!" Never were prayers more earnest than those breathed by Sylphide Eger ton as she knelt at the sacred altar that Easter morning; and long after they were married, Sylphide found the little Easter card which sbe had paint ed tbo cross and the crown of thorns in her husband's desk. "Oh. Balph," sbo said, "why do yon keep this poor little daub?" He took it lovingly into his band. "Dearest," said he, "no P.ombrandt nor Michael Angelo conld be more precious in my eyes thau is this I" South Americans Resources. The sixteen republics south of the United States and mclndiug Mexico and Central America have a popula tion of over 50,000,000 people. Brazil is the largest of the southern republics. It is said to bavo more nav igable rivers than any otber country in the world. Rio do Janeiro is the principal city and it has nearly 1,000, 000 inhabitants. Rubber is the best product of the Amazon vall'ey,3.1,000,000 pounds hav ing been exportod in l. Iron abounds, but tho mines aro undevel oped. Tho Government of Brazil controls tho telegraph system. In IH'.W there were 12,467 miles of wire and Brazil communicates with tho United States by three lines. Brazil's coiumeroo is mainly with France, Great Britain and the United Mates. The principal articles export ed aro eoflee, hides, tobacco, gold coin and bullion, sugar, diamonds, rose wood, cocoa and rubber. Vf ueziida is threo times the sizo of Franco and of Germany and livo titnoi tho size of Italy. It is, in fact, larger than any European Nation except Russia. There aro only two seasons tho wet ami tho dry. Tho climato variei with the altitude. Venezuela is ono of the richest of tho South American republics in nat ural resources. It has lino gold mines, raro and precious wools aud splendid agricultural facilities. Mauy of tho mines have never been developed. Mexico's mines nro many aud rich. They havo been worked for over 400 years and although vast quantities of precious metals havo been taken out by far the greater part of tho treasure is yet to bo mined. Humboldt, at the beginning of this century, estimated Mexico's mines ot 3000. Bobvia and Colombia havo tlieir greatest wealth iu mines. Their de velopment is very slow, however. Vast coal fields, gold, silver, precious stones, iron, copper, tin, lead, bis muth, mercury, platinum, zinc, rock crystal, alum, talo and alabasKr aro among tho things which will make these countries very rich. Some liciiiurkanlu Jumps. worth seeing, says tho St. Louis Re public, when the winner is forced to jump upwards of three-quarters of a hundred feet in order to gain tbo prize. At tho great athletic meeting held nt Stockholm, Swedeu, in 18'.M, there wero several competitors iu tho running spring-board jump," eaehof whom managed to clear moro than forty-four feet, tho winuer making a record of seventy feet threo inches. Tho Swedes aud Norwegians, it is true, do not jump in the same fashion that Americans 1. They hate a run way at the athletic grounds at Stock holm which is clown the side of a bill 200 feet in height. At the bottom of this an immense spring-board is net iu such a way tbat the "spring" end is six feet above tho ground. It is from this that tbo jump is taken. However, if wo think of tho matter properly, this seventy-foot flight through tho air is a wonderful feat after all. How Nails Arc Named. Two accounts aro given of tho origin ol tho teims "six-penny, " "eight penny," "ten-penny," and so on, as applied to the various bizos of nails. According to ono statement, wheu nails were made by hand, the penny was taken as a standard of weight, aud six were made to equul the weight of a copper penny. This explanation is open to criticism on account of tho very small size of tho nails of which six were needed to balance even the lurgesizea, old-lastnonod copper penny, luo otuer is much more prob able. It affirms that six were sold for a penny, and tho name grew into use, even when the price changed, and tho larger kinds were, from a popular mistake, called ten-penny and so ou, without regard to size or weight. Of the ordinary six-penny nails, there aro eighty to tho pound ; of tho eight penny, there are fifty; ten-penny, thirty-four; twelve-penny, thirty muo. St. Louis Globe Democrat.
