NLMBEfi 4. i HZ WHISPERING corn F* v ® you e'er walked at early morn Of this round world, mist-wet and dim! Often have I, if but to hear Mysterious whisperings far and near. TI. jut* waking tta* While hillsides yet are white with rime, And whUe the flm lark, rising w'ingsT flings Dew-spray from off hi, early L*t*ls And now and theu a faint Where cattle rise and shake their bells. 1 "e® a hun ter hither run. Oh, trembling hare, far inward hie; Ue close, oh, partridge, do not fly.” The hunter lists. It seems to say; “No game is lurking here to-day.” Sometimes the farmer comes to see, And theu it says: “Here’s gold for thee. Which sun and air and sky and soil Have gathered to reward thy toil. Ten thousand sentinels in line Guard each gift for thee and thine.” Or if some Dives walks for health, Worn out with care of useless wealth. It whispers: “You make gold of tears, Of hunger, curses, prayers and fears. But here are alchemists whose gold Must feed the hungry, warm the cold.” Sometimes with heavy heart there goes A love-lorn swain along the rows; Then “List,” it lisps, “at husking bee, When rafters rise with rustic glee Of brown-cheeked maids and merry men, Ah, you shall kiss her, kiss her then.” Thus oft in low mysterious wise Soft voices from the toll com rise— Lulled lispings, as though unknown tongue Whispered the long lush leaves among. They tell me secrets sweet and true; They’ll whisper, if you wish, to you. —George Horton , in Chicago Herald. PITH AND POINT. In small business—The dwarf.

The Americans who come home from Paris now on every steamer appear to have a much greater idea of Edison and a much better knowledge of what Edison has achieved in the electrical and scien¬ tific world than the stay-at-homes imag¬ ine. “The megaphone,” said one of them yesterday, “in the magnificent ex¬ hibit which Edison made and which, by the way, was the very finest thing in the American exhibit, seemed to attract more attention from the Frenchmen than did any other of the Edison exhibits, not ex¬ cepting the graphophone, which is so well known on this side. Going into the American exhibit with a friend, you sent him to a point a half mile away and asked him to whisper certain words into the megaphone. As soon, it seemed, as the syllables had left his lips, they came bounding over the wires to your ear so greatly magnified that what he spoke as a whisper reached you as a mighty roar, powerful, resonant, yet as distinct as if shouted at your side. The popular American topical songs, as rendered through the graphophone, attracted con¬ tinuous and enthusiastic crowds.”— Ness York World. Experience of a School Teacher. A student at one of the medical colleges, in talking of his past life, said: “I used to teach school, and some ot those taught were terrors. 1 remember at one school there were a number of half-grown boys who seemed to be in¬ spired by the evil one. They carried railroad spikes, stones, billies and other instruments with which to intimidate the teacher, and incidentally I learned that one of them carried a revolver for me. One day I noticed him committing some small infraction of the ruins and called him forward. As he came toward me I perceived that he wore a tight woolen jacket. "When he had got as far as I thought necessary, I halted bjm and step¬ ping up to him, told him tohnbutton his frock. He declined to do it, wherupon I grabbed him by the throat, telling him if he made a single move I would drop him to the floor. I then unbuttoned his jacket, took his revolver from him, and gave him the worst whipping that ever a boy got in that district before or since. After- that the school was a paragon in the whole country. The lesson was a most salutary one and never forgotten." Judge Keatley, of Iowa, who has made a personal inspection of the schools of Alaska, reports that there are about, four¬ teen schools in the Territory, children, three of which are for white the rest being for natives.
