THE man with the iron band, or the humao sledge-hammer, is giving exhl bitions of strength this week at Ep- stean's new Dime Museuii, Chicago. With one blow of the naked fist he drives aeix inch spike clear through a two inch plank without suffering any pain. There is no trick about the act, the plank being solid and regular spikes used. Another feature in the curio halls is the convention of giaats and midgets. The Starlight Specialty Company appear in theater No. 1, and the Juvenile Concert Company In thea­ ter No. 2. When in Chicago do not fail to go to the new Dime Museum, on Randolph street. NINE out of ten men who stop their heme paper say: "I would like it, but take so many other papers that I can't afford it." This is poor consola­ tion, What would your home merchant think if you would tell him that you were dealing with so many foreign firms that you could not afford to pat­ ronize him to the extent of a dollar and a half a year. Apply the same ex­ cuse to any other business and yeu can readily Bee the absurdity of if. If you have no Interest in your home town or its prosperity, if you have no apprecia tion of the efforts of your home editor or no favors to ask of him, say so. Don't be deiuded that tbe few cents a week you are paying him for your paper is making him rich, if our sub­ scriptions would pay our b^lls in Chi­ cago that have to be paid we would always be happy.

A Mll'Cll FUU litONCUDS, It is a pretty truthful adage which says that " Remind creates supply," and although at present (this country has uo very formidable navy or coast defenses it is more than^probable that in the event of a necessity arising we would be found well prepared to give any unwolcome visitor an uncomforta­ bly warm reception. One of the fac­ tors which mi jht be called upon in such an emergency is Capt. Ericsson's new craft, the Destroyer, and its sub­ marine gun, for defending harbors. The captain says that the gun has not failed in a single instance during a long series of trials to expel the sub marine projectile with a velocity ex­ ceeding 300 feet in thi'ee seconds. This projectile ia twenty-five feet long and carries 300 pounds of gun cotton, a charge sufficient to shatter the hull ef ironclad ?hlps of all classes so com. pletely that the boasted "water tight com part me uts" will prove of no avail in preventing destruction aud sinking. As long as we have inventors of Ericsson s genius among us there will be no need of lying awake o'nights worrying about the possible conse­ quences of the sudden appearance of a hostile flotilla In any ef our seaports.

It is in the home that the earliest and most last­ ing impressions are made. It is in the home that forms of expressions are learned whi :h afterwards become the characteri stic expressions In manhood and woraauhood. If these expressions are rough, impure, ungrammatieai, or partaking of the nature of slang, the efforts of a life time will be required 'to correct them. Much of the work done now In our schools would be*quite unnecessary if parents would be care­ ful to use language correctly in their homes. The senseless, ungrammatieai slangy babytalk which many mothers use before their little ones should nev­ er find expression from the lips of a sensible woman. Fortunate, indeed, is. that child who hears in the expression of love and tenderness from his moth­ ers lips only the correct use of the words of our mother tongue. His ed­ ucation in after years may be limited but he will bear at least one mark of culture which the labor of schools is sometimes unable to bestow. IN a Waukegan dispatch to the" Chi­ cago Journal under date of Feb, 18tb, we find the following: News was received this morning, of the death in Chicago, ot John Green- leaf. son of S. S.

He was teller in the original State Savings Bank, and was afterward In the National Bank of Commerce, and th^n in the Central National Bank. Then he went to the Merchants' Loan aud Trust Company, and was for four or five years paying teller in the Na­ tional Bauk of Illinois. He took ill over a year ago, aud went south for his health, and for a time derived great benefit Irom the trip, but the di sease from whieh he suflered had ob­ tained to strong a hold on him to yield to treatment.
