Wicliern's experiment is, however, widely known, and its suc­ cess has been demonstrated in its benif- icent results, while Burnham Farm is yet in its infancy, unknown even to many of the good people of our own State. The Burnham Industrial Farm was organized to save boys who are tend­ ing toward the criminal classes. The lack of proper classification or facilities therefor in the reformatory institutions of the State, forcing the boys committed who have not yet become depraved or incorrigible into the companionship of those in whom criminal habits are fully developed, was the condition which was strongest in urging the establishment of a home like this, far removed from the city, on a large farm in healthful surroundings where these truant or va­ grant boys not yet incorrigible might be sent, might lr-e under good influ­ ences, and have opportunity for the training of hand and mind. The farm, formerly an old Shaker settlement, comprises 580 acres of land, under a fairly good state of cultivation, in a "region of pure air and lovely fields and forests." Lake Queechy bounds it on one side and the mountains look down upon it. The farm is organized on the family plan. The cottages left by the Shakers nave become the home of each of a group of boys. The system of awards and punishments is that of Mettray. There is a depaatment of manual train­ ing for the boys, where those showing special aptness are taught full trades arid others prepared to enter trades us advanced apprentices. Some will be taught la,rming, some gardening, and all, that labor is ennobling. The disci­ pline is firm, yet kind, and each boy has some one who is interested in him individually. There ire no Avails about the farm; everything is free and open. Yet the boys who go there wicked, vul­ gar, petty thieves perhaps, li^rs, swear­ ers, truants, stay there, lead clean lives and learn to be honest, pure, and upright. Though established less than three years ago there are already good results to be seen. Fifty-two boys hg.ve been at the farm, and of those mor^ than twenty have been sent back to their parents or to places found for them, "It was when you made'the great jnmf in the riding exercises at your gradua tion." "Yes," whispered Grant, remem ber that very well. York was a won­ derful horse. I could feel hira gather ing under me for the effort as he ap­ proached the bar. Have you keara any­ thing lately of Hershberger?' "No, never since I left West Point years ago." "Oh," said the General, "i have heard of him since the war. He was in Car lisle, old and poor, and I sent him a check for fiftv dollars." to The Woodcock's Soi I have taken considerable watch them at sunset to learn, if pos­ sible, if they did have a song or note which I was not sure of before. I am now sure they have a note; and to my surprise it is a very fine one. I hardly know which of our song birds to com­ pare it with, but think it very much like the catbird's or brown thrasher's, If any one ever took notice of those birds' songs about the time they end up their song, they make a very line war­ ble or water note, something like a canary, but not quite as fine. I have watched and listeued to the woodcock for a number of evenings, and have been much pleased by their queer actions. They begin sharp at sunset and seem to keep it up until day­ light. This, I suppose, accounts for us never starting the cock bird through the day, as it.seems to be the cock bird that does the flying and singing by night. His spiral ascent is not as straight upaa it has been represented. He will leave the ground and fly in a circle of ten or fifteen acres, making the circle smaller each turn, until he reaches a height of some two hundred feet, all the time making a very uneven twitter with both bill and wings. Then, when the descent begins, he begins his warbling, -which, I must confess, is more than I ever be­ lieved of him, although I have watched the birds many times, and his song , is very sweet. After reaching the ground, which is always on a smooth place clear of grass or brush, he sits still for a few seconds, then begins to cry spate or fikape, I hardly know how to describe it. It is very much like snipe, only much lotider, and it is not strange to hear five or six at a time from the house through the evening arid up to midnight, in fact until daylight. Every time he makes the cry spate or*shape, just before it he makes a clucking sound, like a man hiccoughing, or something like a cuckoo, only muoli lower. I watched one last evening, in company with Mr. cured of bad tendencies, to lead upright A. B. Simonds, and it lighted within and honest lives. Indeed its capacity for good seems limited only by its means. Boys are pressing to the gates who cannot be admitted. We have spoken of the efficacy of preventive philanthropy. Is there a better oppor­ tunity to employ it than here, to dimin­ ish the number of the criminal classes, to save boys who have no hand power­ ful enough, no heart strong enough to help them ? And from another stand­ point, is {here a more profitable invest­ ment for society? The "yearly average expense from one criminal would fur­ nish sufficient funds to rescue and train . many boys. A feature of the institution which in­ vites special notice is the Brotherhood of Institutional Workers now in process of organization. Jt is intended that the Burnham Farm in America, as the JRauhe Haus in Germany, shall become a training school for those who wish to enter upon institutional work in its dif­ ferent phases. Applicants who seem fitted for the work and who are willing to endure the sacrifice and hardships which the work demands and imposes, are admitted on a probation of six months after which they enter into full fellowship for a term of three years, "taking upon themselves a sacred pledge Of obedience, simplicity Of life, and to make Christian work in the line of in­ stitutional service the aim of their lives." At the end of this term of years, if qual- ' ified, they will be sent out to institu­ tions calling for them as trained at­ tendants, institutional managers, book­ keepers, carpenters, clerks, gardeners, <&o. The Brotherhood is nobly planned. There is no asceticism, but a true hu­ manitarian, a Christian spirit. Those acquainted with the need not only for trained but kind, patient, willing, trust­ worthy attendants in charitable and cor- rectionable institutions, will wish that it may be successfully established and carried on, ar?d that the principle un­ derlying it may have a wider observance. ->-Siate Charities Record. ten feet of me once, so I had a good chance to note its actions and hear th« sound produced before it made its cry. --Forrest and Stream. r ,<v Grant's Great Jump. '#'..fJadet Grant did not graduate from West Point "with the highest praise" of his instructors, but some of his class­ mates thought him the strongest man, intellectually, in the class. "Well, sir," said one of them, James A. Hardie, to an instructor, "if a great emergency arises in this country during our life­ time, Grant will be the man to meet it." An incident, related by General Fry Ancient Feet. A noticeable thing about the statues found in our museums of art, supposed to represent the perfect figures of an­ cient men and women, is the apparently disproportionate size of their feet. We moderns are apt to pronounce them too large, particularly those of the females. It will be found, however, that for sym­ metrical perfection these feet could not be better. A Greek sculptor would not think of such a thing as putting a nine inch foot on a five-atid-one-half-foot woman. Their types for these classical marble figures were taken from the most perfect forms of living persons. Unquestionably the human foot, as rep­ resented by those old sculptors, was larger than the modern one, and, in fact, the primitive foot of all people of whom'we have any record, either' in printiug or statuary, was considerably larger than the restricted foot of mod­ ern times. The masculine foot, forming an approximate average of four differ­ ent countries, was about twelve inches long. This would require at least a No. 12 or 12£ shoe to cover it comfortably. The average masculine foot to-day is easily fitted with a No. 8 J shoe, and is, therefore, not above ten and seven-six­ teenths of an inch. Now, by the old scriptural rule of proportion, a man five feet nine inches in higlit should have a foot eleven and one-half inches long, or one-sixth his hight. It was of no great consequence what size sandal he wore, but he would have required a modern shoe of at least a No. 101 for a medium fit or a No. 11 for . real comfort. For women, allowing for the difference in the relative size of the two sexes, which was about the same then as now, a woman of five feet three inches in hight would have had a foot -ten inches long requiring a modern shoe--it ought to be spoken only in a whisper--No. 6 as the most comfortable for that foot or a No. 5£ as the limit of torture. The reason for the difference between the old classical foot and the modern one is obvious. Restriction is what has done. --Shoe and Leather Reporter. First Impulse of an Excited Yonng Mother. A young mother was rushing about wildly, looking for her lost baby. She had left the intant out on the sidewalk that one man among the instructors, the riding-master, believed in Cadet Grant's ability to do great things. In June, 1843, Fry, a candidate for admission to West Point, wandered into the riding-hall, where the members of the graduating class were going through their final mounted exercises before the Superintendent of the Academy and a large assembly of spectators. The reg­ ular exercises having been finished, the class, still mounted and formed in line through the center of the hall, waited for the word of dismissal. But "old Hershberger," the riding- master, wished to exhibit to the assem­ bly a deed of daring, self-reliant horse­ manship. He placed the leaping bar higher than a man's head, and called out, "Cadet Grant!" "A clean-faced, slender, blue-eyed young fellow, weighing about one hun­ dred and twenty pounds, dashed from the ranks on a powerfully built chest­ nut^ horse, and galloped down the op­ posite side of the hall. As he turned at the farther end and came into the straight stretch across which the bar was placed, the horse increased his pace, and, measuring his strides for the great leap before him, bounded into the air and cleared the bar carrying his Tider as if man and beast had been welded together. The spectators were breathless! " 'Very well done, sir!' growled the riding-master, and the class was dis­ missed." In 1886, forty-two Vears after this gal­ lant leap and Bardie's prediction, Gen­ eral Fry was in General Grant's room in New York City. The hand of death was upon him and he was almost voice­ less. Sheets of his forthcoming book in his "Military Miscellanies," shows frout of a prominent dry goods store and when Bhe went out again it had dis­ appeared. "It was in the baby cab," she explain­ ed, "and I often leave it out that way and nothing ever happened to it be­ fore." "I think likely," said a man who had stopped to see the excitement, "that you will find it in the hands of the Hu­ mane Society. Fm sure that's where it ought to be," he grumbled as he walked off. , Meanwhile a young saleswoman in the dry goods store was sitting cosily in one of the offices, chuckling a strange baby under the chin to make it laugh. "Darling itsy sing, did its naughty muzzer gooff and leave it all loner toky?" The young woman had just made ths lucid address when another clerk hur­ ried into the office. "Whose baby is that?* "1 don't know." "Its mother is in hysterics! I'm sure that's her baby. Is this the cab? Do let her have it." They wheeled the perambulator out into the store and as soon as the young mother saw it she made a rush at the baby took it from the cab, turned its pillow over and drew out a pocketbook concealed there. "Thank goodness it's sfcfe, she said gratefully. AN exchange speaks of a "new tobacco scenter." Ah old tobacco scenter is the man who smokes a vile cigar in the parlor.--Norristown Her­ ald. WHAT are fcfew years of oall sorrow and what men d burden beaming to an eteraity of blessedness? Evolution of the Jeke. "Let me illustrate for your benefit the evolution of the chestnut, or 'The Rise and Fall of the Comic Skit," re­ marked the Hon. Erastus Gurley, lighting a post-prandial cigar at the Merchants'. The many satellites of the eminent statesman immediately scram­ bled for chairs in his vicinity. "How often we hear the question 'Who fakes up the comic gags we «ee in the newspapers?'" continued the politico-philosopher. "Well, I can as­ sure you that one comic--originally comic--idea is made to cover a good deal of ground nowadays. It is hashed and rehashed by hundreds of cheap humorists all over the country. The same idea reappears in a dozen dis­ guises, and it plays many parts on the journalistic stage. Take an example; 'The Ycnkers Statesman says: " 'The man wh» is willing to take things as they come finds usually that they never come." "This skit you perceive, contains a conceit which attracts attention. Bones, hired humorist of "The Wigville Wall,' sees it and, presto, the succeeding issue of 'The Wall' contains the following: " 'Nibsey--Cheer up, ole chappie; take things as they come. " 'Nobsey--Yes, but things don't come.' "Masquerading this time you see as a colloquy. "Tambo, hired humorist of the •Yellingville Yelp,* sees the last version; has not seen the original, and he tries his prentice hand on transposition of the scale. 'The Yelp' soon after con­ tains the following: " 'Some raen decide it is best to take things as they come, and die just before the thing comes.' "Slight variation, you see; almost imperceptible. "Paintpot, comic artist of 'Snicker's Weekly,' sees Tambo's effort, and sits down and draws a comic sketch, which appears soon, showing a big sign blown from its moornings, and about to strike a man in the back of the head, the man meanwhile explaining to a friend: " 'I'm the coolest man you ever saw in your life; I always take things as they come.' "Young Pegasus, humorist of 'The Tickleville Te-He,' is of a poetical cast. He sees the comic picture and his muse yearns with a big yearn to tackle it. It does so. The next issue of 'The Te- He' is brightened with this jeu d'esprit: * 'The man who takes tilings ensy; Who takes things as tbey come, Will find when old im<i wheezv, That, things avoid his home. •'A man must up «-)<3 rustle ; Must, innke tbiugR spin and hum; then in life's lioree tilsnle, j^,,-He'll things as they go ma/ ...

Well, our plumber's boy was "Rats" to the letter--the same torn hat and ragged clothes, the same happy-go- lucky disregard of property--in short, the true vandal Bpirit. He knew his business, too, for he kept us in a chronic state of unrepair, and so had what was almost a permanent job. His name we .never knew; his boss called him "Boy"; to us he was simply "llats." One evening just at dusk "Rats" was putting the finishing touches on some work he was doing in the library. I sat in the back parlor with the gas unlit, and Kittie was playing upon the piano; and in the gathering gloom I could but notice thai; tattered "Rats" was a picturesque object as he bent over his little furnance, now in relief, now in shadow, now with the ruddy glow upon his brown face. Kittie played on and on--gay gallops, dreamy waltzes, bits of ballad tunes, lullabies. The strokes of "Rats'" ham­ mer grew fainter until finally they stopped altogether. Kittie began singing very softly: "Hush my babe, lie still and slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed." I looked through the portiere at "Rats." Totally unconscious of my presence, he was whistling under his breath an accompaniment to the sweet old air. "Heavenly blessings without number, Gently falling on tby bead," sang Kittie and a great tear rolled down "Rats'" cheek, then splash! it dropped with a sizzle on tiie hot soldering iron. The quick sizz roused him. Rat-a-tat-tat--bang! went his ham­ mer; crash came Kittie's hands down upon the keys. The spell was broken! I lit the gas. "Rats" was humming "I Owe Ten Dollars to O'Grady," and the light shone brightly upon his face. Had it been all my fancy ? No, there was a white streak down his sooty cheek, and somehow I was glad to see it.--Chicago Tribune. She was Learning to Talk English. A lady, who keeps a domestic, was about to enter her kitchen one even­ ing when she heard voices. She was surprised, as the girl never had com­ pany, a fact which Bhe had often commented upon. "She bring more clothes by me every Monday when my wash be most done," complained the girl. "What for you then stay mit her?" asked another voice. "I like not to go more place than so many Ihaf been," answered the first speaker. "Her have the two goot chil­ dren. I mit them stay." "You t'ink her you like, Tina?" "Yaw, I t'ink, but she make me mooch work, an' I not that like." The mistress had heard enough. She rattled the door and walked in on the two, without further ceremony. There stood the girl us neat as a new pin. her blonde pig tails hanging down her back. She was washing and wiping the tea dashes, and was entirely alone. " Who were yotf talking to,Christine?" asked l|br mistress, suspiciously. "I talk with myself," answered the girl, "so I the Englis' speak." This curious phase of the girl's char­ acter still exists. On certain evenings she holds long conversations with her "double," and the two voices are as dis­ tinct as if they belonged to different persons. The mistress who appreciates her faithful service and her Jove for the "goot children," does not object to this sort of company,' and is more consider­ ate of the girl on Mondays, so in her talks with herself she has no longer reason to complain. * The Coming Revivalist.

Reporters are credited with having a great deal of gall, and some of them have. One of them who belongs to the latter class is said to have attempted to interview the author of "Ragnarok" with about the following speech: Approaching the sage one morning in the office of the Merchants while en­ gaged in conversation with a friend, the reporter thrust his hands into his pock­ ets and himself into the conversation. Without introducing himself he sauvely inquired: Anything startling in the Farmers' Hauce this morning, Mr. Donnelly?" Mr. Donnelly paused, looked inquir­ ingly at the intruder, politely answered, "Not that I know," and continued his conversation. The reporter, nothing daunted, made another assault. "Mr. Donnelly, what do you think is the future of the colored race in America?" The famous politician stopped, fixed his eves upon the reporter and in­ quired: . "Young man, would you like to get rich ?" "Well, now you're talking," quickly responded the reporter.

A crowd of revenue officer* were4tfl1^> ing yesterday, when one of them remarked: "Do you know it's a heap harder to hit a man, shooting at him, than it is to hit a squirrel the same distance?" "Of course it is," was the general assent. It was a harder question to decide why this was so. "One,time," resumed the first speaker, '"I shot eleven timet at a man not fifty yards away from him. He shot ten times. Neither of us hit the other. Both were dodging behind trees, but all of mine were pretty fair shots. I'll give you my word, I wasn't frightened until after the whole thing was over. I aimed like I was shooting at a target, and I'm not a bad shot, either.

In this case, however, pretty much every one was sewing, and all seemed to be performing the same task of Bewing some sort of a pioco into the breasts of their coats. "My curiosity was aroused, and I asked one of the men what it was all about. " 'Nothin' much, sir,' said the soldier, saluting, 'only the boys fillow that we're goin' to get it hot to-morrow, an' they are just sowing their names on their coats, so that it they go under, as a good many of us will, sir, some one can tell who we are.
