"I don't know what the boys of Jlito-day are made of. The idea of a ;.^cliool-boy going into court to show three welts on the calf of his leg. _ That part of his leg, I think, must ex- ' tend all the way* up the boy. Three a welts! Why, in those days when Hki- inan taught the "three R's" ih Peoria, to get a licking with a forty-four inch hickory and be able & show the other boys a back like a Franco-Prussian < war map was greater than a King. And we didn't go home ar.d show our welts to father, either. If we did, the old man tenderly laid on a few broad ones with a skate-strap, to add variety to the general ofToet. And the idea of going into c >nrt about it! I would just like to see a liov stand before old Capt. Lee or Hcjuir© Bernard Bailey, or Jus­ tice Cnniungham and file information "against old Hinnmu for licking him iust because he pushed Bill Rodecker into the pond. Dear Old Hinman," the Jester continued, tenderly rubbing his legs with his hands, "when he snatched "up that old piece of slate frame and came charging down the aisle at you, the biggest boy in school began to howl in sympathy with the victim. I always • yelled like a Comanche, long, long be- ; fore he hit me. And when that old slate frame came down on a boy's thigh, f all the injunctions and rebutters and decrees and revevsals and replications and demurrers of all the courts in the State of Illinois couldn't soothe that boy's feelings or keep him from nursing sa blister a big as an air cushion. Do you remember the old chalk box Hin­ man used to demonstrate cube root with?" he suddenly added, turning to , the fat passenger. ' "I remember the long 'gad' he licked Bill Haskell with," the fat passenger ^replied, "the day Bill came whooping into school in a pair of Indian leggings | and bead moccasins. And every time the old switch whistled down, Bill would raise a yell like the cry of tor- ment and jump clean over a desk. How J the dust did fly! And talk about welts! v That boy's back looked like a wash • board. But he never thought of going to law about it. If he had, the old man would have licked him harder the next time." "And the day Dick Looms got ugly and kicked the leg out of a bench," the fat passenger said, "and the old man just picked up the leg and fanned Dick with it till the slivers flew. That was the daisy licking of that old school. Dick howled till the neighbors came rushing to the school, and the first man that • bounced in and demanded to know what this meant the old man climbed and rode him all around the room while the boys stood up in their seats and yelled and cheered in the wildest enthusiasm, and Dick forgot his own licking in his pride over his teacher's prowess. The neigh­ bors didn't wait for the second act. 'I'm teaching this school,' the old man said, proudly, and we believed him. Then he turned* to Dick and finished his licking. It would have been a rash court that interfered with old Hinman's methods of discipline." "Old Doty was the boss banger of that town," said the man on the wood- box; "used to teach in the Fourth ward, - and whipped the school all round twice a week. The other days he devoted exclusively to George Kent and Frank Jones. Then he came down to the First ward and put in most of his time on Andy Peters, Charley Balance and the two Burdettes, until one day he found John's desk full of rocks and brickbats, and in the exciting rastle that came after ithis discovery of a dynamite plot, John ibit the whaler's thumb nearly in two. Then he went to the Sixth ward, and there Billy McKengie knocked hip out with the big school bell, and he disap­ peared." "There were two-handed, double and twisted giants in the land in those days," the Jester said, "but when a boy got his liaking at school that was the end of it. If the was of a revengeful dispo­ sition, he stole chalk from the school- house and drew fearful and wonderful > pictures <ef his teacher on the neighbor­ ing fences, to the great wrath of the residents and property owners. And, that there might be no mistake, he wrote the teacher's name under the photograph, or on the nose of it, the length of the nose being proportioned to the pupil's hate and ~~ merciless vengeance. And no matter how voung the teacher was; if he was only a boy from college, 22 years old, the indignant jmpil always called him "old" so-and-so. But all the same, the 1K>V got licked sometimes when he needed it, rarely when he didn't, and never when he wanted it. And he rubbed his stripes and showed his welts to his cheerful and delighted fellows, , tor we were always well pleased to see another boy 'licked,* and he giinned rather ruefully over them him­ self, but he didn't go whining into a court with them. Great Scotland, some Thursday afternoon in June, when the day was warm and the room was close, and the flies buzzed against the -dingy window panes, and a storm was in the air, and a spirit of mischief pervaded the atmosphere, when there was a boy doing penance behind each blackboard and another one standing on the chalk- box, and another sat on the long front bench, softly weeping into a dog-eared Webster's spelling-book and delicately rubbing the plaoe of the date-frame; iii over StS™ ing in ' ible' and 'ibltf when old Hinman sat watchful and suspicious with the trusty slate-framd in his hand, worrying some drowsy, stupid urchin 1" * Kiiictj-iumma oi iwettvt* what part of seventy-two ?' Sud­ denly some idle boy, supplied with work by the usual contractor, would fire a paper wad clear across the room 'spot!' on the old man's bald head. Soul of the tempest, how the clood would burst! Before the boy who shot that wad had time to yell 'I never done it!' more than once, he would be collared and yanked "over the desks and benches, back on the floor, heels in the air and the slate frame flying like the sails of a mill, and the shriek of 'I never done it!' changes to ' I'll never do it again!' ' Oh, you won't?" says the old man with savage sarcasm, 4 if you didn't do it this time how are you never going to do it again ?' And the slate frame whacks away like a trip hammer, the boy rolls on the floor and pounds a vigorous tattoo with his anguish stricken heels, the chairs go over, the dust flies in clouds, the boy on the chalk box gets upset in the melee, the prisoners behind the black-boards come out to see the circus,, smiling away theiri own disgrace, the culprit on the beach forgets his own welts in his joy at beholding new ones lo ated on another boy, the girls cry in shrill tones of fright and pity, covering their faces with their aprons or wringing their pleading hands, the boys on the back seats, farthest out of sight, joy­ ously repeat, in extravagant pantomime, the gyrations and contortions of the boy who is rehearsing his part in the great slate-frame act; and as oft as old Hinman gets in an unusually good whack, there is a general subdued ' O w-w!' all over the boys' side, ex­ pressive alike to the keenest apprecia­ tion of the neatness of the ' lick' and the painful situation of the receiver, and all the time the old slate frame keeps going like a wild, mad thing, until the curtain goes down in a glare of red fire and the low muttering of distant thunder in the mountains. That was an old-time licking in old Hinman's day, and no court can stick its nib into the matter, either. Go into court for a school licking in these degenerate days!" And the Jester suddenly drew hi® bauble and smote the cross passenger such a resounding whack across the legs with it that he howled with de­ light as he jumped clear over the back of the seat and said he hadn't felt so good since the day old Hinman made him dance on the carpet for smearing ink all over Steve Bunn's nose under pretense of rubbing off a flake of smut.

A misanthrope of ample nu tu «_ ...a ... . ... uiuitM w oau«M0 iM«uv Iiru w Mini uutttm Gotaffto too banks of the oaoal, found the Migration. We are accustomed to think that the United States is the one absorbent point of emigration in the world, and that it bids fair, like Aaron's serpent, to swallow all the rest. Most of our readers will probably be surprised to learn that there is a country which, considering the size, is drawing in more foreigners than ours, and that country is France. M. Leroy-Beaulieu has recently published in I? Economists Francais the statistics of the increase of alien population in France. In the first quarter of this century there was no immigration into that oountry. France was for the French alone. In 1857 a small but steady stream of foreigners began to set in. Their pro­ portion in 1861, however, reached only 1.33 per cent, to the whole population; in 1881 the proportion had reached 3 per cent. In each year the increase reaches 40,000. M. Beaulieu calculates that if it continues to increase in the same proportion as the last two years for the rest of the oentury -one-fourth of the admit population will be aliens. The large proportion of this immigra­ tion is from Germany, and the causes of it are, according to M. Beaulieu, the abundance of capital, the high wages and the fact that many of the trades are left unoccupied by French boys and men. The same -cause accounts for the 1 large immigration into our ©wn coun of skilled workmen. It is a very Vitntageous condition of affairs for the foreign skilled workmen. But how about the native Frenchmen and Americans, -yhose work, wage* and prosperity are thus suffered to fall into alien hands? The French young man, says M. Beaulieu, is too -effeminate to learn a hard, steady trade. He goes to America to cook, te dance, to play some light role in life, while the German comes to fill "his place at home. Pre­ cisely in the same way the young American makes himself a bookkeeper or salesman while the skilled trades are filled by Germans and English.--Ntvo York Tribwne. poor keepers. 1?he ground should be plowed, alter it is perfectly dry in the spring, not over six inches deep. The manure should be well rotted, drawn on the land after it is plowed, and thor­ oughly fined and worked into the soil. The reason for this shallow plowing and surface manuring is because vines love warmth, and their roots naturally «eek for food near the surface, exactly the reverse from potatoes. If you wish to make money raising squashes, put at least forty loads of good, rotten manure on an acre. The last half of the manure will usually double the crop without any extra expense except mar­ keting. The manure will not all be used up. but will show good result* for years afterward. For such varieties as the Hubbard and Butman, the hills should be ten feet apart each way. Hoe out a s ight saucer-shaped hole and throw in a shov­ elful of the richest rotten manure you have, then pull the earth back and mix it and tramp it with your feet, so it may not be so loose as to ,dry out. Do not make a high hill, but keep the soil about level. Put five or six seeds in a hill, cover about an inch and a half deep, and pat down lightly with the hoe. In this latitude May 15 to 20 is soon enough to plant. The hills should be thinned out to two plants in a hill, after the bugs have got through with them, remembering to put into practice "the survival of the fittest." If it were not for the bugs, one could raise more squashescto the acre to plant seven by seven feet and leave only one plant in a hill, but this makes twice as many hills to fight bugs on, and hence double the work. The ground should be cultiva­ ted both ways and often, as long as you can get through. With such soil and manuring as I have described, after the runners once start, they will soon cover the ground with a perfect mass of vines, and thousands of the runners will shoot up into the air two or three feet, look­ ing for more room to grow in. About cutting the ends of runners off, to check growth and produce greater fruitfulness, I cannot advise, as I have done as much harm as good in all experiments thus far. The only bug we have much trouble with is the small striped bug (Galeruca vittata), and they are enough. They always come about the 8th or 10th of June. Before they are due, we dust every squash leaf with land plaster in the morning when the dew is on, and keep them dusted until they grow out of the reach of the bugs. Do not wait till the bugs come; if you do, you may go out some warm morning and find every hill destroyed. They often come in the evening, and always with a good appe­ tite. In showery weather we dust the plants as soon as it stops raining, and sometimes have to ,do it over two or three times a day. If there is no dew, sprinkle them with a garden sprinkler, with very fine holes, just before dust­ ing. I think this is an original idea, and it has saved my crop more than once. Beside, one does not have to get up so early in the morning and work so hard before breakfast. I prefer to use a common flour sieve in putting on plaster. Dip in a quart or so on one side of the sieve, and use a large iron spoon to work it through the sieve. After a little practice, one can make a little go a good way. There are a good many ways of fighting these little pests, but I know of no cheaper or better way than the one I have described, where squashes are raised by the acre. Cheese-box rims, or bottomless boxes, covered with cheese capping, would bo less trouble where only a few hills are raised. With such soil, manuring and care, you may expect from six to eight tons of Hubbard squashes per acre, and if you buy the purest seed to be got, from a reliable grower, the squashes will be of such choice quality and extra large size as to be worth double what ordin­ ary market squashes are.

A relative of mine residing near the Blue Hills, has developed a mania for cats. He is possessed of sixteen cats of all ages and sines. Being on a visit te tym and .conversing with him in the kitchen, I heard a Tattling of the latch of the door leading to the cellar. Sup­ posing sosae «ae was in the «ellar who wanted to get out and could not readily find the latch, I opened the door my­ self,'and there sat a grave and sedate old cat on the landing, and standing on her head was a half-grown cat, steady­ ing herself by the frame of the door with one paw, and with the other strik­ ing the thumb-piece of the lateh with the evident intention of opening the door. Finding the door open, they gravely walked in sad seated them­ selves in the family circle. "Do these cats ever open the door im that way?" I asked in great astonish m e n t . . . . "Oh, yes; we've left a pane of glass out in the cellar window, and when the cats are tired of staying outside they come up the cellar stairs and open the door for themselves; it saves us the trouble-" "Did you teach them how to do it?" "Oh, no; they found out the way themselves."--Z. A-* ^ Boston Transcript. Education. The question of introducing manual training of some sort into the public schools is still generally discussed in all parts of the country. The Louisville Courier-Journal refers to the success­ ful results of manual education in Sweden and Massachusetts, and closes with this advice: "We commend to our School Board and to the managers of our private schools the careful consul* eration of this subject."

Dr. Pierce resigned his in th;; Con­ gress of the United States, simply from sense of duty towards others His associates in th 3 great sanitarium represented to the doctor that the immense business of their association demanded that his personal at­ tention should be paid to the great army of patients crowding upon them from every clime. Dr. Pieroe is also the founder of tne Invalids Hotel, at Buffalo, N. V.

It is generally thought that they should be kept warm; but I keep them as cold as I do my seed potatoes --between 33 and 35 degrees as much of the time as possible. Before there is any frost, they should be picked and allowed to lie in the sun two or three days, for the stems (which should always be left on) to dry. After that thev may be drawn to market, or put up in the barn until there is danger of freezing, when we take them to the ccllar. They keep in barrels or bins, or in almost any way, if they have been grown on the right kind of soil, and are not bruised in the least. The hard shell begins to form first on the under side of a Hubbard squash. When you cannot stick your thumb nail into it, it may be called ripe enough to pick, and only ripe ones should be carried to market (al­ though many people do not know the differenoeHf you want to get a reputa­ tion and keep it. A good many of the soft ones will form a shell after they are picked, if they are spread out in the sun during the day, and covered up from the fxiest at nights. The cost of rais­ ing and marketing an acre need not ex­ ceed $80, as part of the manure should be charged to following crops.

Slang Words and Phrases. • Just listen for a moment to our fast young man, or the ape of a fast young man, who thinks that to be a man he must speak in the dark phraseology of slang. If he does anything on his own responsibility, he does it on his own "hook." If he sees anything remarka b l y g o o d h e c a l l s i t a " s t u n n e r t h e superlative of which is a "regular stum ner." If a man is requested to pay a tavern bill, he is asked if he will "stand Sam." If he meets a savage-looking dog he calls him an "ugly customer. If he meets an eccentric wan, he calls him a "rummy old cove." A sensible man is a "chap that is up to snuff." Our young friend never scolds, but "blows up;" never pays, but "stumps upnever finds it difficult to pay, but is "hard up;" never feels fatigued, but is "used up." He has no hat, but shel­ ters his head beneath a "tile." He wears no neckcloth, but surrounds his throat with a "choker." He lives no­ where, but there is somev place where he "hangs out." He never goes any where or withdraws, but he "bolts"-- he "slopes"--he "mizzles"--he "makes himself scarce"--he "walks his chalks" --he "mhkes his tracks"--he "cuts his stick" or is "fired out " The highest compliment you can pay him is to tell him that he is a "regular brick." He does not profess to be brave, but he prides himself on being "plucky." Monev is a word which he h*s forgot­ ten, but he talks a good deal about "tin," and "the needful," "the rhino," aid "the ready." When a man speaks he "spoutswhen he holds his peace he "shuts up;" when he is humiliated, he is "taken down a peg or two," and "made to sing small." A bey wiih a top tried to spin it, But his hand got a thorn right in it, The sport didn't spoil For St. Jacobs Oil, Cured his hurt in less than a minlti A red-haired clerk in Savannah* Slipped on a pit'oe.of banana," ; Great pain he endured, But St. Jacobs Oil cured, lie now goes dancing with Hannah He Was a Minister. When M. Thiers was at the summit of his glory as President of the French republic, he went to spend some days in Marseilles, his native city. There he met an old school companion, a poor humble man who had never taken the slightest interest in political concerns. Thev greeted each other with effu­ sion! "And what are you doing?" asked Thiers. "Raising cattle." Then they talked a long while of their youth, of memories pleasant to both. Finally, "And what do you do in Paris?" asked the old friend/ M. Thieis, somewhat wounded in his amour propre, and not wishing, under the circumstances, to avow his high rank, contented himself with replying: "I am Minister." "What! You have become a Protestant!" exclaimed, in stupefaction, the com­ panion of his youth.

"I live in Wisccnsin, I do, and over three years ago I blazed out a railroad thir­ teen miles long, from my house to Squar' Turner's saw-milf, and though I have written to Gould three different times, offering to sell my claim dog cheap, he won't even answer my let­ ters!--Wall Street News.
