The Rev. Win. N. Cleveland, Mrs. Hoyt,the President's sister, and Misi Rose Cleveland were at the j White House to greet the pair, and they with Col Lamont and his wife, composed the family gathering at supper.

A \ Puzzling 1 iizzun a Ouestion. tjuesiion. Some o persons seem wholly unable to tope with scientific facts, their inability bein^ doubtless due largely to circum- stances and their education. For hun- d reds of generations men were puz- teems so simple to us. A teacher in a western county in Canada, W'hile making calls among the people came into con- versation with a farmer’s wife from Ver- mont, who had taken up her residence in the “backwoods.’ Of course, the school and former teacher came in for criticism, and the old lady, in speaking of “Wa’ftl, his predecessor, what asked: do think he master, you learned the scholars?” “I couldn’t say, ma’am. Pray, what did he tench?” “Wa’al, he told ’em this ’ere arth was round ; what do yon think of such stuff!” Unwilling to come under the category nmrkecf n ° r8nt ’ tC “ Cher eVasiVe,y ^ “It* does seem strange, hut still there arc many learned men who teach those things.” she, “if the earth is “Wa’al,” says holds it round, aud goes round, what up?” learned that it “Oh, these men say holds it goes by round the sun, and the sun up of attraction .>» The old lady lowered her specs, and responded with ths roier: “Wa'aL if these high h.rnt men sez the sin holds up the arth. I should like to know what holds tUo art,)) up when the sun goes down?” Over the Sea. Over the sea in a sunny land Some one is thinking of me. lie hears the surf on a shore of sand, The snow is falling on me. Over the sea, over the sea, Surely he’s thinking of me. Over the sea where the palm-trees bend And lilies nod in the sun, Lives there one who is nearer than friend— My "greatly beloved” one. Over the sea, over the sea, To-day he’s thinking of mo. Over the sea till the roses come; Then back he will speed to me, To bear me queen to his island homo— To our home beyond the sea. Over the sea, over the sea, To-day he is loving me. —Rev. Wm. B. Olcson in Independent. A Moment of Temptation; “I can’t stand it any longer, Dolly. I’ll go out Rnd perhaps something will turn up.” “It’s a cold night, Robert.” “Cold, yes, but it’s not much colder out than in. It would have beon better for you, dear, if you had married John Tremain.” “Don’t t say sav that that, Robert KoDert. I 1 have nave never never regretted my choice.” “ Not even when there is not a loaf of bread , in . the house for , you and , the . chil- dren?” “Not even now, Robert. God has not forsaken us. lVrhans d ernaps on on Easter ioaster dav any the tne tide will turn.” ‘It’sbeen Lent all the winter with us, ” said Robert bitterly, “Day after day I have searched for employment. I have called at fifty places and received . , the , same answer everywhere.” A curley-headed boy crept up to his mother’s knee. “Mother,” he pleaded, “wont you give me a piece of bread ? I am hungry—- just a little piece, mother.” “There is no bread, Jimmy darling,” said the mother, with an aching heart. “When will there be some?” asked the little one piteously, Tears came into the mother’s eyes. She could not speak. “Jimmy, I’ll bring you some bread,” said the father hoarsely, and he seized his hat and went to the door. His __ wife alarmed, laid her hand on his sleeve sleeve, She one saw saw the tne look iook in in his ins eves eyes, aQ( j feared that he might be driven to some desperate 1 step. 1 “Remember, * Rob- she said solemnly, “it . . ham , to is « -er. worse.” He shook her off, but not roughly, and without a word went out. Out into the cold streets that would be their home ere long, for the rent would soon be due and then even the shelter of the cheerless room in the poor lodging house would be denied them, Rob- ert Bruce was a mechanic, competent and skillful. Three years since he lived in a country home, but in an evil hour he removed to the city. Here he vainly ] hoped to do better. For a while he was successful, but he found his lodging- house a poor substitute for the pretty cotta ge that had been his country home. He saw his mistake, but was too proud to go back, though his wife pined to do „ 0 Then a time of great depression came and business seemed suspended. Work ceased for Robert Bruce as for others. If he had been in his old home he could havc turned his hand to a^ething else, or at the most have borrowed of a neigh- bor t ffi better times, but now he felt hopeless. When he went out on the street he did not know how he was to keep r his protn- p lse to little Jimmy. He was absolutely penniless, and had been so for three days, There was nothing that he was likely to find to do that night. “I will pawn my overcoat,” he said. ^ eann °t sce nay wife ... and children starve.” “It was a well-worn overcoat and the night was raw with the blustering winds of March. He was so weakened by fast- ing that he was shivering even while wearing it, and needed something much warmer. “Yes,” he said, “it must go. I don’t know how I shall get along without it, but j cftnnot hear the poor little ones cry , bread ” He was not in general an envious man, but when he saw the slick, well-fed cit : - zens buttoned up to the chin in warm overcoats coming out of their grand homes, while his children were starving, he had some bitter thoughts of the ine- quality of fortune’s gifts. Why should they be happy while he was so miserable? Ther , n . JU* , . with ... h,s , . « a _ P-win* hands thrust deep m the pockets of his shaggy overcoat. There was a jolly smile on his face. He was doubtless thinking of a pleasant circle nt home, Robert knew him as a rich cabinet-maker, whose ample warehouse he often passed. jj e applied to this man only two davs bc- fore for employment, and had been re- fused. Just as he passed Robert Mr. Grimes drew his handkerchief from his pocket. As he did so he did not per¬ ceive that his pocketbook came with it and fell on the pavement. He did not perceive, but Robert did. His heart leaped into his mouth and a sudden temptation entered his mind. He bent quickly down and picked up the pocketbook. He saw that , h» ,, movement had not been noticed. Mr. Grimes went on unconscious of his loss. “This will buy bread for my wife and children,” thought Robert instantly. A vision of the comfort ths money ■would bring into that, cheerless room lighted up his heart for an instant, but then he was not dishonest. Conscience spoke. The money was not his, much as he needed it. “But I can’t see my wife and children starve,” ho thought. “God hassent thin, lie dropped it in my way—it will save their livos—a life is worth more than any¬ thing—God will forgive me.” But all this was sophistry and ho knew it. In a moment he felt it to be so. There were some things worse than star¬ vation. Dolly had said so the last thing before he came out. Could he meet, her gaze if he returned - with food so obtained. “I’ve lived honest so far. I wont turn thief now,” he said. Ho hurried after the owner of the pocketbook with Jimmy’s cry for bread sounding in his ears. It was with a sub¬ lime effort that he stepped forward aud placed his hand on the tradesman’s shoulder and extendod the hand that held the pocketbook. “Thank you,” said Mr. Grimes, turn¬ ing round; I hadn’t perceived my loss. I’m much obliged to you.” “You have reason to be,” said Robert, in a low voice. “I was very near keep¬ ing it.” “That would have been dishonest,” said Mr. Grimes, his tone altering slight- iy- “Yes, it would; but it is hard for a man to be honest when he is penniless aud his wife and children without a crust.” “Surely you and your family are not in that condition,” said Mr. Grimes earnest- iy- “Yes,” answered Robert, “it is too true. For two months I have looked for work in vain. I applied to you two days ago.” “I remember you now. I thought I had seen you before. You still want work?” “I should feel grateful for it.” “My foreman left yesterday. Will you take his place at twenty dollars a week?” “Thankfully, sir,” cried Robert, tremb¬ ling with joy. “Then come to-morrow morning, and take this for present needs.” He drew a note from the pocketbook and put it into Robert’s hand. “Why, this is a twenty dollar bill!” cried Robert in amazement. “I know it. The pocketbook contains a thousand dollars. But for you I would have lost the whole. If I find you de¬ serving I will give you twenty more as a bonus at the end of four months.” “God bless you!” said Robert in .a choking voice. “Good night.” “Good night.” Dolly waited for her husband in the cold and cheerless room. An hour passed, and there was a step on the stairs. Could it be that her hus¬ band was coming up with that light elas¬ tic step? She ran to the door eagerly. Yes, it was he, and he carried a huge basket in his hand. Jimmy danced at the sight of it. “Ob, it’s bread, isn’t it, father?” “I should say so,” cried Robert radi¬ antly. “What do you call this?” He heaped on the table the crisp rolls, the golden pat of butter, the delicious links of sausages, the packages of tea and sugar and coffee, and some rosy apples for the children, which made their eyes sparkle. Soon a man appeared with a sack of coal; a bright fire warmed the room, and there was a gay and merry laughter about the little table that night. The next week they moved to more comfortable quarters. Mr. Grimes proved a firm friend and Robert has an account in a savings bank. He thanks God for the dark hour in which he resisted temp¬ tation. —New York Journal. Are We Losing Our Teeth? Man’s dentition has to be judged from our experiences made in the mammalian group. Hence, first of all, it is a reduced dentition. True, we do not know the definite stages by which it was attained in man, any more than we do in the ease of the anthropomorphous, and all the other r.pes <*f the O! 1 \Ynrld, but we ‘.hull not hesitate to maintain that the ancestors of iimn ■ 1 u fu.ier num- her of teeth, as loag as deductions are justified from the observations of facts, Our teeth hav.e decreased in nuraoer dur¬ ing the course of our geologioo-zoologi- cal development; we have lost on either side, above and below, two incisors, two premolars, and one molar. By this we transfer ourselves back to those periods from which the jaw of the otocyon has been preserved. Baume, our eminent odontologist, in a recent work which wc have repeatedly referred to, has success¬ fully followed and pointed out cases of atavism or reversion in the human jaw, by tracing cases of “surplus” teeth—and certain dental formations met with in the jaws in a large percentage of cases—back to those portions of the jaw in the ani¬ mal ancestors of man which h»ve disap¬ peared in the course of ages.— Popular Science Monthly. Saratoga is making grand preparations for a grand demonstration next autumn to commemorate the surrender of Bur- goync to Gates. VOL 1, NO. 38. “The Milking of the ‘Alabama.’" ?, From the account, in the accond Centurg, officer bjj in John McIntosh Koll, the command of the Confederate cruiser Ala¬ bama, we take the following: “Whon the firing ceased, Captain Semmea order¬ ed me to dispatch an officer to the sinking,j Kcar- sarge to say that our ship was and to ask that they send boats to savo our wounded, as our boats were disabled.- The dingey, our smallest boat, had es¬ caped damage. I dispatched Masters- mate Fullam with the request. No boats appearing, I. had one of our quarter boats lowered, which was slightly injured, and ordered the wounded placed in her. Dr. Galt, the surgeon who was in charge ot the magazine and shell-room division, came on deck at this moment and was at once put in charge of the boat, with or¬ ders to ‘tako the wounded to the Kear- sarge.’ They shoved off just in time to save the poor fellows from going down in the ship. ‘ ‘I now gave the order for ‘every man to jump overboard with a spar and save himself from the sinking ship.’ To en¬ force the order, I walked forward and urged the men overboard. As soon as the decks were cleared, save of the bodies of the dead, I returned to the stern-port, where stood Captain Semmes with one or two of the men and his faith¬ ful steward, who, poor fellow 1 was doom¬ ed to a watery grave, as he could not swim. The Alabama’s stern-port was now almost to the water’s edge. Partly undressiug, we plunged into the sea, and made an offing from the sinking ship, Captain Semmes with a life preserver and I on a grating. ‘ ‘The Alabama settled stern foremost, launching her bows high in the air. Graceful even in her death-struggle, she in a moment disappeared from the face of the waters. The sea now presented a mass of living heads, striving for their lives. Many poor fellows sank for the want of timely aid. Near me I saw a float of empty shell-boxes, and called to one of the men, a good swimmer, to ex¬ amine it; he did so and replied, ‘It is the doctor, sir, dead.’ Poor Llewellyn! he perished almost in sight of his home. The young Midshipman Maffit swam to me and offered his life-preserver. My grating was not proving a very buoyant float, and the white caps breaking over my head wero distressingly uncomforta¬ ble, to say the least. Maffit said: ‘Mr. Kell, take my life-preserver, sir; you are almost exlipusted.’ The gallant boy did not consider his own condition, but his pallid face told me that his heroism was superior to his bodily suffering, aud I re¬ fused it. After twenty minutes or more I heard near me some one call out, ‘There is our first lieutenant,’ and the next moment I was pulled into a boat, in which was Captain Semmes, stretched out in the stern-sheets, as pallid as death. He had received during the action a slight contusion on the hand, and the struggle in the water had almost exhaust¬ ed him. There were also several of our crew in the boat, and in a few minutes we were alongside a little steam-yacht, w hich had come among our floating men, and by throwing them ropes saved many lives. Upon reaching her deck, I ascer¬ tained for the first time that she was the yacht Deerhound, owned by Mr. John Lancaster, of England. In looking round I saw two French pilot-boats en¬ gaged in saving our crew, and finally two boats from the Kearsarge.” Advice to Stoop-Shouldered People. A stooping figure is not only a familiar expression of weakness or old age, but it is, when caused by careless habits, a di¬ rect cause of contracted chest and de¬ fective breathing. Unless you rid your¬ self of this crook while at school you will probably go bent to your grave. There is one good way to cure it. Shoulder braces will not help. One needs not an artificial substitute, some means to devel¬ op the muscles whose duty it is to hold the head and shoulders erect. I know of but one bull’s eye shot. It is to carry a weight on the head. A sheepskin or other strong bag filled with twenty or thirty pounds of sand is a good weight. When engaged in your morning studies, either before or after breakfast, put the bag of sand on your head, hold your head erect, draw your chin close to your neck, and walk slowly about the room, coming back, if you please, every minute or two to your book, or carrying the book as you walk. The muscles whose duty it is to hold the head and shoulder erect are hit, not with scattering shot, but with a rifle ball. The bones of the spine and the intervertebral substance will soon accommodate themselves to the new attitude. One year of daily practice with the bag, half an hour morning and evening, will give you a noble carriage, without interfering a moment with your studies.— Hull’s Journal of Health. Japanese Athletes. Dr. Oswald says that the superiority of Oriental athletes is not so much in theii absolute muscular strength, which they cun hardly match against that of the bulky Caucasians, as in what turfmen would call their “staying powers.” In Ohasaka, Japan, a German traveller saw a pair of rough-and-tumble wrestlers fight with short pauses for six hours and thirty minutes, and only quit after their knees and elbows were flayed and their faces battered out of all resemblance to human countenances.
