TLc English nro naiJ, by the Now Orleans Picayune, to bo amazed at finding, by tbo cxamplo of I'rosiilent Krngor, tbut a person cad bo a diplo mat without the uso of a monocle, bnt they aro sure that it is a very excep tional case. Tho New York Chamber of Com merce, tho City Club, tho Fine Arts Federation and other societies aro try ing to seenro legislation against sky scraping buiMings. Tliey would have the height of building limited by tho Width of tho street on which they aro built. There in no need fur n to lio awake at night woriyinjr over microbcH, as wo ha vo been wont to regard them, announces tho New York Merenry. A certain professor went to tho trouble of purifying tho air of all theso germ", and then fed it to pome small animals, which promptly died upon his hands. Tho enormous amount of wool now nHcd for milking paper every year may be judged from tho fact that a Paris ucwHpaper, tho Petit Journal, which has a circulation of over a million copies a day and is printed on wool pulp paper, eoiinumea in a twelve month 120,000 lir trees of an average height of nitty-six feet. This is said to be equivalent to the annual thinning of 25,000 acres of forest. It in not enough that a certain ptout woman on a certain little island across tho Atlantic should bo called Victoria, Queen of England and Empress of In dia, but oho must needs bo a goddess to boot, remarks tho Pathfinder. Thero is a sect in Orissa, Peugal, who worship her as their chief divinity, and it is discovered thHt her majesty is an object of worship in tho tcinplo of Phadong-Lama in Thibet. A plan has been announced in Lon don to lay a telegraph cablo from Shetland, tho not them most telegraph outpobt of Great Uritain, to Iceland under fivo thousand miles of sen.

Locke, supervisor of drawing in tho publio school of Chicago, told how tho children aro being trained to Benroh tlio columns of tho press iu working on topics of u public nature. It should bo one of tho functions of every school to teach tho children how to read a newspaper to tho best ad vantage and ulso what newspapers should bo read. Tho value of thoroughness in tho treatment of any subjoct has received a recent illustration in tho cuso of Professor Roentgen, who gave the matter of his X ray photography so exhaustive a study before publishing anything with regard to it that it has taken tho rest of tho scioutitlo world a month to catch up with him. lt is said that photographs taken by him aro better than tho majority of thos.3 token by other experimenters. Pro fessor Roentgen's modest paper on tho subject of his discovery, says tho Hoientiflc American, has not beon ox ccedud in interest, clearness of state ment, and precision of deductions, b all which has been published since. A Now Y'ork Press writer says that Menelck, Kiug of Abyssinia, had a de cided udynntago over tho Italians, when it oamo to a question 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 the troops wcro ofton obliged to go hungry, not because thero wus nothing to eat, but booauso it could not be got at. Mouolek man aged those things better. Accustomed as his peoplo aro to existing largely upon raw meat, they never think of butchering cattlo for their commis sariat, but drive thorn aloug on the marob, and when hunger Logins to pinch them they havo a habit of cut ting from shoulder nud flunk strips of raw meat, which they devour, lha poor animals staggering aloug till ac tually flayed alivo in this slow and cruel manner. But there are so bag gage wagons, no silver stowpans and rfvnpHujcona to annoy the army. AN EASTER LYRIC.

ELL, I don't like to bo lectured 1 said Hylphide Egertou. .Sho rat on the rude etonn stile, with her flufly gold en tresses all disor dered by tho wind. her cheeks reddened with tho stormy brightnosss of tho March sunshine, and a next of littles field mice in her lap, whose mother had been killed by tho schoolboys under a fallen log. Sylphide a creature ot reckless im pulse had driven away tho littlo ty rants, who wero about to torment the helpless brood, and was now carrying homo tho nest of velvet-soft orphans, to caro for thorn as best sho could. "They are only field mice, to be sure," said Hylphide, "but they aro so helpless and so etinuing I And if no ono elso will snecor them, I will." So, in tho dishubillo incident to climbing half a dozen fences, wading across a brook and making hrr way through a thicket of tall bilberry bushes, Miss Sylphide found herself confronted with tho young clergy man, whoso spotlessly neat uttiro and air of quiet dignity were an unspoken tatiroon her own torn dross and brier scratched hands. "Can I belp'you over tho stile, Miss Egertoo," said Mr. Highland, cour teously. "No, you can't!" said Sylphide, secretly hoping that if sho kept sit ting thero ho would not discover that tho ilounco was half rippod off her ' dress, and that sho had lost one shoo in the mud. , lie smiled a little at her brusque reply. "Jt ii after sunset," he said. "The wind prows clull."Kr ' fvn '" iLjr.eJ SjfYut.A. "You don't cipect to sit here all tho evening?" "Perhaps I shall V' said Sylphide, darting defiance at him from under her level, golden brows. "I don't; know of anyone who has a right to die- j tato to mo upon tho tubject." Mr. Highland stood looking nt her with folded nrms and imperturbable gravity. "You have been on a long walk?" Paid he. "Yes," neknowludged Sylphide, picking at the fringe of u little scar let India scarf that slio wore. "And yet," he went on, "you tell me that you cannot lind time to at tend the daily afternoon service?" Sylphide flushed to tlio very roots of her hair. "I don't want to bo lee-lured," said the. "And I am the last person who lias any right to lecture you, Miss Eger ton," said Mr. Highland. "All I ask of you is to stop anil think. Indeed, I cinuot comprehend how it is that tho devotionul sweetness of your tasters can havo so littlo effect upon you." "Oh, 1 know I" said Sylphide, bo pinning to lose her temper, as sho ut ways did whou tho perfections of Josepha and Lcsbia were snug in her cars. "My sisters are angels, and I am a castaway." "Miss Sylphide" Put sho put both hands to her cars. "I told you I would not bo leo tared," auid slio. "Pleaso to remem ber that you havo brought this on yourself I" Mr. Highland colored a littlo, lifted his hat with punctilious courtesy and passed on. Why was it, he asked himself, stern ly, that this lawless little romp, with the deep blue eyes and tho cloud of golden huir, had such power to tor ment him with her iccklcss moods and wild caprices? .le had done his best to civilize her. He would abandon the task here, and let her go her own fantastic way. And not uutil ho was out of eight did Sylphido burst into a passion of tears. Sho would have cut out her tocgne sooner than tell Mr. Highland that she had moant to como to church that afternoon, but thnt tho cpisodo of the field-mice had entirely driven everything elso out of her head. "He always soes me at my worst," Bho sobbed. "Well, why need I caro? Let him fancy me a savage if ho likes. What is it to me?" Whou sho reached home still with tho nest of tleld-mico tenderly elapsed to her bosom Lcsbia, her tall, hund Bomo sister, met her on the threshold. "Goodness gracious, Sylph I" sho cried. "What a fright you have made of yourself I" "I am always a fright," said Sylp hide, with ironioal calmness "accord ing to you, at least." "Mr. Highland was to grieved at your missing the afternoon service," fluid toft voiced Josepha, who bad red gold hair and eyes of real pansy blue, like a picture. "Was he, indeed?" said the rebel of the family. "I wish he'd mind his own business I" "Oh. Sylphide," said Josepha, "don't speak no t And what havo yon got there? norrid little mice, as I hvo I Oh, do throw them away 1" "They are darlings," said Sylphide, her defiant eyes softening as sho gazed down at her drab treasures. "And I'm going to bring them up by hand and teach them all sorts of cunning tricks. I know it can be done." "Oh, indeed f'said Lesbia, severely. "You have timo to set up a private menagerie, and romp with all the cats and dogs, and ponies and calves on tbo place, but you have no timo to paint Easter cards for the Sunday school girls, although Mr. Highland especially requested us" "Mr. Highland again I" burst out Sylphide, passionately. "Yon may bo Mr. Highland's obedient slaves you and all tho other unmarried women of the congrcgetion bnt I havo declared independence !" And she ran away to tho barn cham ber, a fragrant little nook, where, ever sinco sho was twolveyear! old, she had possessed her own little sanctum, un disturbed by prying eyes, to make a warm nest for her little orphans until she could smuggle in some milk from tho kitchen. Aud Lesbia and Joseph1 met Mr. Highland the next day at church with sweet, sorrowful faces, like grieved Madonnas. "Wo aro so sorry," said Lcsbia. "But Sylphide refuses positively to help us with tho Easter work." "It is absolutely impossible tointet est her in church atliirs!" signed Jose ha. But Mr. Highland's heart gavo a throb of exultation when, as lie was half-way through the service, he caught a glinipso of a slight, veiled figure at the very back of the church. "It was Sylphide, he said to him self. "I am quite sure it was Sylp hide; but she slipped any before I Could get to the door to speak to h'-r. But what an incomprehensible little sprite slio is!" Tho work for thecomiu Easter wns progressing bravelv. Lesbia and Josepha Egerton wcro deep iu illuml- uated letters, sheets of leaf-cold aud autiqno devices. White calla buds and Bermudsj lilies were being coaxed tondorly into bloom, wreaths of ever green wuro being woven by busy hands, yet from all the industrious group Mr. Highland missed tho face of Sylphide Egerton more keenly than he himself would have been willing to confess. And when Mis Huberts Hall, an elderly maiden whoso matrimonial hopes wero not yet entirely blighted, groaued over Sylphide's iniquit ies, the youn elergymau found himself taking up tho cudgels iu her defense with some emphasis. "She is very vonmr. Miss Roberta." w.-u . t;-s' ijifiy. uur I line-. iilf I 1 lk- ... . -I And Miss Huberts, whose fault was asmrcdly not thnt of extreme youth, could only llush up au 1 bo silent. Jt was r.ai-ter Eve when Mr. ihtrh- land, after superintending the decora tion of tho church with the freshest of spring flowers nud the brightest of illuminated banners, ea:ne to look for littlo Willie Egerton, who had prom ised to L-ot him ho:iio rho lodeudron loaves and wild laurels Ironi the woo Is. "IIo'h out in the barn, I ' less, like ly," said Jones, the hire I mau. ".Shall I look for him, parson?" "No; do not disturb vourself," said Mr. Highland. "I wilfgo myself." Ho went into tlielntru, ascended tho narrow, wooden stairway and entered tho little bam chamber, whoso doois stood Wide open. A curious, quaint apartment it was, its side hung with drawings, engrav ings cut from idd magazines, ana o Ids and ends of chintz the sunset laying burs of gold a"ross its rude board floor, while the lield mice, now grown to a very respectable size, skurriud uuder the table and eyed the intruder with a startlod gaze. On the table iu the middle of tho room wero scattered painting ma terials, while u lovely, half-tiuished card displayed a device of passion flowers, wreathed around a cirolo of thorns. Besi.le it lay a brusb and a saucer of brilliant water colors, while one ot Sylphide Egerton's gloves had fallen on the floor close to tho chair. "Mr. Highland, is this tho work of a gentleman?" While ho wns still standing gazing at the half-untinished work, a slender ilguro had glided in, and Sylphide stood at his side. Never had sho looked so entrano ingly beautiful ; never had her eyes glittered with such sapphire light, or her lips worn such a rich scarlet. "Sylphide," he said, "I had no idea that this studio was yours. I cume hero to look for Willie. It seems I huvo surprised your secret." "Yes," Sylphido auswerod, pnssion ately, "you have! 1 have toiled here daily in solitude; I havo painted an Easter card for every child in tho parish; I havo embroidered an altar cover on white billiard cloth, all by myself. 1 hnvo visited the sick, taught the little ones and tried to help those who wore helpless. And yet and yet-" Tears choked her voico ; sho cov ered her eyes with hor hands. Mr. Highland took the little, trem bling hands iu bis with a tender and reverent clasp. "Sylphide dearest Sylphide!" he cried "try to forgive me, for I never can forgive myself, for thus rashly and preBuniplut"Iy during to judge yon I Nothing more was spoken just then ; but the golden silence was sweeter than bulm. Eve appealed to eye, and tender tears washed oat all traces of offense. "Sweet Sylphide, I lore youl" said he. And, with downcast lids and crim soning cheeks, she answered : "And I may confess it now Hove 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, Sylphido found tho little Easter card which she had paint ed tho cross anl the crown ot thorns in her husband's desk. "Oh, Ralph," she said, "why do you keep this poor little daub?" He took it lovingly into his band. "Dearest," said he, "no P.ombrandt nor Michael Angelo could be moro precious in my eyes thau is this I" Pontli America's Hesnurres, The sixteen republics south of the United States and inclndiug Mexico and Central America have a popula tion of over 50,000,000 people. Brazil is the largest of the sonthern republics. It is said to have more nav igable rivers than auy other country in the world. Rio de Janeiro is the principal city and it has nearly 1,000, 00O inhabitants. Rubber is the best product of the Amazon vall'ey,33, 000,000 pounds hav ing been exported in l1. Iron abounds, but tho mines aro uu level oped. The Government of Brazil enutrols tho telegraph system. In 18'JO thero were 12,467 miles of wir and Brazil communicates with tho United State by three Hues. Brazil's commerco is mainly with Prance, Great Britain and the United Mates. The principal articles export ed aro eoflee, hides, tobacco, gold coin nu l bullion, sugar, diamonds, rose wood, coeoa and rubber. Veuezu'dn is three, times the size of Franco and of Germany and five tirnei the size of Italy. It is, in fact, larger than auy European Nation except Russia. There are only two seasons the wet nud tho dry. The climate vuriei with the altitude. Venezuela is ono of the richest of tho South American republics in nat ural resources. It has lino gold mines, rare and precious wools and splendid agricultural facilities. Many of tho mines have never been developed. Mexico's miues aro many aud rich. They have been worked for over 400 years and although vast quantities of precious metals havo beeu taken out by far the greator port of the treasure is yet to bo mined. Humboldt, at the beginning of this century, estimated Mexico's mines nt MOO. Bolivia and Colombia have their greatest wealth in 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, tale and alabaster nro among tho things which will make these countries very rich. Sumo Kcmurkahl'' Jumps. ' Eo-ug jffJlijVWrf jyajsJ ., tHtilK-ibtSli worth seeing, says tho St. Louis Re public, when tho winner is forced to jump upwards of three-quarters of a hundred feet in order to gain the prize. At the great athletic nier ting liehl at Stockholm, Swedeu, in l8'.tt, there wero several competitors in tho 'running spring-board jump," eachof whom managed to clear moro than forty-four feet, tho winner making u record of seventy feet three inches. Tho Swedes and Norwegians, it is true, do not jump iu the same fashion that Americana do. They hate a run way at the athletic grounds ut Stock holm which is down the side of a hill 200 feet in height. At the bottom of this an immense spring-board is set iu such a way that the "spring" end is six feet above tho ground. It is from this that tho jump is takcu. However, if wo think of tho matter properly, this seventy-foot flight through the air is a wonderful feat after all. Hew Nails An Nuined. Two accouuts aro given of tho origin oi tho teims "six-penny," "eight penny," "ten-penny," and so on, as applied to the various sizes of nails. According to one statement, when nails wero made by hand, the penny was taken as a standard ot weight, aud six were made to equal 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 largo-sized, old-fashioned copper penny. Tho other 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 the larger kinds were, from a popular mistake, called ten-penny ami so on, without regard to size or weight. Of the ordinary six-penny nails, thero are eighty to tho pound ; of tho eight penuy, there are fifty; ten-penny, thirty-four; twelve-penny, thirty nine. St. Louis Globe Democrat.
