EST The proposition {lending in tlio State Legislaturo to appropriate $10,000 of S taU funds for the Orchard Lake Military Academy, is an ou t rage upon

the taxpayers. Such an appropriation would be a barefaced steal. The Acad-emy, in the first place is s imply an asy-

lum for rich mens ' sons: a sort of a high toned inst i tut ion where these youths may bo educated apar t f rom the com-

mon herd, and now to ask this same common herd to contribute towards the supoort of such a n aristocracic inst i tu-

tion is an act of unblushing effrontry. If an academy of this kind is any par-ticular gratification to a wea l thy few,

who have sons they m u s t provide amusements for. let them pay for the luxury ou t of their o w n pockets

and not filch it out of the hard

working fa rmer . Better, fa r . t ha t the Legislature appropriate this $10,000 to

the education of the lioot blacks and news boys and waifs, with which our

cities and towns abound, fo r if it is looking for the fu tu re generals and

W. Hine, Senator f rom the 22d (Kent county) distr ict , the most populous in

the State, whom we succeeded as Assis-tan t Secretary of the Senate in 1877, al though one of tho youngest mon in the

present Senate, has proven himself one of the best and most useful members of

that body. Coming wi th the parlia-mentary knowledge and skill acquired by four years ' experience as Assistant

Secretary in 1H73-4 and 1873-0, he a t once took a leading position among his fellow Senators; and by his close atten-

tion to public duties, his sound and practical judgement and his clear and comprehensive knowledge of w h a t to do

and how to do it, he has been able to make a record of which any legislator

might well be proud. Occupying the responsible position of cha i rman of the

Committee on appropriat ions and Fi-nance (one of the most responsible of all the 'committees), he has so guided the

legislation of the session now about to close, that no unwise appropriat ion bills

have passed the Senate, and none have

failed tha t should have passed. As Sec-retary of the Senate we have watched

his course, and aro glad to be able to thus bear testimony to the efficiency and

abilitv of a brother editor, who has for

several years been classed as one of the brightest and sharpest of Michigan's

journalists."—[St. Louis Leader .

f rom Stan ton to Hast ings via. Lowell.'* A new company is a l r eady organized, which will have turned over to it all the franchises of the K., L. & N. M. R. R. Co., north of Hastings. This now com-

pany proposes to construct a s tandard guago road ( four feet e ight and one-half inch guage) f rom Smyrna to Hastings

for railroad connection wi th some ot the t runk lines tha t run into your city. In

case the project from Kalamazoo to Saginaw, via. Ionia should be construct-ed via. Hastings, and this now company

great improvement . Many miles of the road north of Hastings are ready now to receive the ties, and the laying down of

T e a c h A m e r i c a n s Some th ing .

••I just would like to take you out nnd show you how we German umversilv fellows used to eat ." said an old Heidel-berg graduate and tutor to a //craW re-porter a few days ago. The proposition was agreed W), and the two started forth at once. For the first two or three blocks the German talked of nothing but pompcr-nickel, zwcineripschcn, kopf-case, lioberwnrst and the I'IKO.

"But ," Interrupted the reporter at last, " I don' t know that I hunker for that kind of a banquet."

"My dear friend," was the reply, " I only wish to show you bow you can just as cheaply live in New i ork to-day as we German follows used to live while we were students vet. And while we are about it we will tho same thing continue for three days, one after another. Then you shall see exactly how it is, and you may put it in tho pa-per for tho great benefit of many thou-n&nds of poor people in tho city of New If o rk . "

"rtToll, I'll try it ," said tho reporter, "but we must at least have one sqnaro meal to brace up on before beginning tho work. I'll pay for that, and you can pay for tlie swiner hips nnd book-case."

Tho Gorman assenting, tho two en-tered a well-known French restaurant down town. The bill of fare consisted of consomme, filet do bujuf, salad and Roquefort cheese, also a bottle of vin-ordinaire and black cofl'ee. It all came to 11,85. .. .

" I t is a lucky thing, after all, that wo have done this," said the German, as tho two walked out, "for now I shall be able to compare the cost of your way with ray way, and show you and all tho Americans tho great difference. Now wo will separate, and to-mor-row wo will begin on stomachs empty."

On tho following day at 12 o'clock tho two met according to appointment The reporter was taken to a dingy little restaurant in an out-of-the-way street. The order was given in an undertone, and the waiter brought two large bowls brimful of tomato soup and two soup

Slates. Midway between ,the two ho eposlted an immense plate of boiled

rice, all steaming hot. l ie also set on the table half of a long loaf of bread, perhaps a foot in length. It was about as large round as a teacun, and its color was dark brown. The bcead was ac-companied by a good-sized Inmp of fresh white butter. The German emptied about half his bowl of soup into his soup plate, and in that two large chunks of the boiled rice. He seasoned with pep-per and salt, and next took a piece of the brown bread, which ho spread gen-erously with butter. His example was followed, nnd both then fell to.

"We are now," said the host, "feed-ing every tissue of our bodies on food that is concentrated, easily digested and readily assimilated. The rice consists of nearly 89 per cent, of starch, or 69 per cent, more than is to be found in tho

Eotato. I t is poor in fat, to be sure, ut wo make that up with the butter.

Its percontago of albumen is also low, being about 7.60, but our rye bread more than makes up for that, for it con-tains quite as much albumen as eggs, and only 7 per cent, less than tho best beef, fts percentage of starch is Tory high, too; but in dextrine, which is starch partially changed into sugar, it is the richest of all the cereals. As for the tomato soup, I count that for noth-ing. It is little less than water, but it contains certain salts which make it very palatable. I t affords an excellent vehicle for the roal food, ami helps di-gestion."

"You shall see," said the German as he took his seal opposite the reporter at the same table on the following day, "wo are not feeding on the same kind of food that we poor but ambitious stu-dents used to eat at the universities. That would cost too much here, and this would be altogether too expensive there. If wo were in Spain or Italy the cheap-est and most nutritious food would bo yet somethingclse. Your country (and

mine, too, for the last sixteen years) abounds in starchy, or as we say, amy-laceous food, such as wheat, rye, oats, beans, peas and rice. These are all most excellent for food, but your people do not fully appreciate them. Ah, hero comes one of the best of them all and one ol tho most abused."

Tho waiter set before each of the din-ers a largo bowl, filled to the brim again, but this time with bean soup, in which there had been boiled a piece of salt pork. Ho also placed in the middle of the table a plaUj heaped up with slices of bread made of unbolted (Gra-ham) flour.

"Among Americans it is common to hear one person tell another that he •don't know beans.' I have for a long time thought that none of you know beans very well. My young friend, I take it for granted that you know i>eans. You know, then, that they contain about 55 per cont. of starch, and of al-buminous matter—the muscle m a k e r -no less than 25 per cent or much more than is contained in your best beefsteak. And this brings us just to the point at which I wished to arrive. All our peo-ple, rich and poor alike, seem to never think they have eaten anything unless they have had m e a t There never was a more mistaken notion, and it is a very expensive fallacy. When you have your beefsteak before you, what are you eat-ing? Supposing it to be the best, beef is made up of about 7.r) per cent, water to only 16 ncr cent, of albumen and 5 per cen t of f a t Why. s !r. the beef-eat-ers would soon die of tuarvation if it was not for the bread and potatoes."

"This is not very fancy living," said the scientist; " b u t if you keep il up, you will get fat on it, and feel good all the time. Now, how much do you think all these six dinners have cost me? Well, a little more than half as much as the two dinners at the French res-taurant cost you. So you have got a little idea what people of small means might do if they only knew, and would try. If you will meet me some other time, I will tell you a good many more c u r i o u s t h i n g s . " — N e w York Herald.

A Minneapolis lady, who had occa-sion to go down stairs late the other n igh t thought she heard a burglar at work on one of the windows, l ier first impulse was to scream, her next was to trip up stairs and awaken her husband, but her pride came in and she made up her mind to take all the credit of driv-ing off the burglar.

blnnched, a look of absolute terror seized her. the steel dropped from her nerveless fingers, she rushed from tho room screaming at the top of her voice. Her husband ran to meet her. and as she fell half fainting into his arms, .sho said: "Oh. that horrid mouse." Tho heroism that don't i|iiail at a burglar goes down lieforc a mouse like wax in the flame of a candle. ^ ^ -

A N e s t in a L i o n ' s M o u t h .

An artist friend has sent a sketch which he made of a gargoyle, or orna-mental rain-spout, on the'cloven towel of Heidelberg Castle, on the Uhino. Gargoyles, as perhaps you know, art very common in European arehriecture ami sometimes they are modeled aftei some portion of the human figure, and sometimes after parts of animals. This gargoyle roprosented a lion's head. It was carved in stone, nnd partly over-grown with vines. Years ago sonu birds, tempted by the shelter ot its great open mouth, built a nest there, which, my friend says, is mentioned by Mr. Longfellow in hta "Hyperion." a prose book, in tho chapter headed "uuor-lachen."

When tho artist wrote, tho nest was still remaining in the gargoyle's mouth. Perhaps some of our readers may bo passing through Heidelberg this coming summer, and if they slop at the castle they should be on tho lookout for this

Sueer home of a pair of birds.—Sf. Heholas for May.

A N U N I Q U E SCHOOL.

Teach imr t i n Y o u n g I d u H o w N o t t o

Shee t .

"YCH," said t!io sc'ioolmaster at Rus-tler s (lulcli, as he rolled a fre.sh corn-liusk cigaro, ••the history of this school would nodoulti prove interesting from 1 iiowspaper point of view. Its most

startling incidetits, however, seem com-monplace ami tame IK a frontiersman. This school was starte'l live vears ago, nnd I am Hie fourtli leachei*. I havo lieen here two yeat's. About six years ago Mr. Ruhinsoii, a great sheepman

»m the lower eountry, Inoated in tlio gulch, and eslahlis.'ied* a rancli here. Many of his herders had families, and, being a n n n of inllueiiceand wealth, he had no dilllculty in establishing a public school afid he built this house. Tho teacher hung his hat up on the floor in one corner and shelved his books in an-olher. The pupils brought sheep-skins to sit upon, and every night rolled them up with their books and piled tho lot up in the two unoccupied corners. Well, after Mr. Robinson, the wealthy sheep man I spoke of, had completed his school house he looked about for a teacher, and lifially secured the services of an old fellow—an ex-stage driver, who could barely read and write. This

ountry was full of Indians then, and the teacher and larger pupil- went arm-ed. He took his meals at Robinson's house, but .slept here on the mud floor. He had a weakness for post whisky, and got drunk on tho slightest provocation. One Sunday, while he was lying there before the school-room lire in a drunken stupor, a wandering Apache happened in and carried awav the schoolmaster's scalp as an educatfonal trophy. This catastrophe caused the school to close, and it remained without a teacher about six months.

One day a very pretty and lad}-like young woman rode up to- Robin&on's ranch and asked for mat gentleman. He invited her in and she made known hcj' business. She w4s a school teacher and anxious to take charge of the Rust-ler's Gulch School. She gave her namu as Miss Kmma (iraham and entered up-on her duties the next day after her en-gagemenl. Miss (i/aham was about 18 years of age. RibiiKm had a s u n n

year older. There were Indians iu the ountry still, and it fell to young Jack

Robinson's lot lo escort the pretty Kchoolmarm to and from the school house. He rather liked it, and being a gooiUlooking fellow and a trille more polished than ranehnien's sons usually are Miss Graham rtithui' liked it also. They became friends, and this friend ship developed Into a very tender and romantic passion. One night Jack Rob-inson was missing. The schoolmarm disappeared also. They were both seen afterwards in Chihuahua, Mex., living together as man and wife. Jack was running a saloon and tho sometime schoolmarm was dealing monte.

It was more than a year when the school was again opened. This time the teacher was a woman from the States. The board assembled and bo-can the exaniinaHon with great so* lemnity. They asked tho most nonsens-ical questions with the greatest possible gravity, and received the most prepos-terous answers.

"Connected with the examination in mathematics is a story which eventual-ly leaked out and gave the whole thing away. One of the iKiard, Mr. Smith, had a large flock of sheep and they were nlllicted with the scab. He was preparing to 'dip' and had purchased many gallons of a patent compound fur the purpose. This liijiiid was to be pro|>-erly diluted with water. Smith had constructed a big dipping vat, but he did not know how much water it held and he was anxious to learn it* exact capacity so that he would know how much of the [latent dip to put in. He gave the dimen.^on.s of the vat, and the applicant for the school after a deal of figuring, told him how many cubic gal-lons it would hold. Smith jotted down this answer and turned the would-be teacher over to Jones. Now Jones was buibling a new house, and was going to linisli il oiT in the most approved man uer. with doors, windows, a shingle roof and plank floors and ceilings. 11 was about to order the lumber for this house from HI Paso,but he didn't know exactly how much to order. He gave the dimensions, and the schoolmarm consulted her little ligures and told him exactly how many feet of plank and boards and how many bundles of shin gles it would take to build a house of the dimensions given. Well satisfied with his shrewdness, Jones dotted down Ihe answers and passed the applicant to Brown. Brown is the cattle-king of tho county and bad just stalked ofl*ground for a big corral. He had employed an Irishman who had been a navvy ou the railroad to dig tho ditch for the pickets at so much per cubic yard of earth ex cavated. He wanted to lind out exact* ly how much his bill would IKS and ho asked Miss Green. She told him. This closed the examination. The trustees consulted a few minutes and gave her the school.

"She lasted a month. Smith mixed bis sheep dip according to her figures and nm through his flock. The next day the herders reported sheep dying

and, despite every effort to save tho woolly animals, they continued to drop oil'until his flock was diminished one-third. He learned then that the dip had been made about three times the re-quisite strength. The schoolmarm's ligures had lied and Smith was furious. Jones made out his lumber bill and sent the order to the merchant. The amount ordered was a large one, but Jones was good and, after some little delay, his order was consigned to him. It took a whole train of cars to transport it, and he nearly went crazy when he found that there were enough shingles alone in the consignment to cover half the houses in tlie c.unity and joists and plank.i ennugh for tlie new Stale Cap-itol.

"Two years a jo 1 was employed and have been here ever since. I like the place and the people, and, if I say it niVM-lf, have a school to IHJ proud of."

The cliildivu were beginning lo ar-rive as he linisbed .vteakiiig and he in-vited me lo slay and inspect the school. 'I here were about lifly pupils, varying in age fr MI 7 IM Ail over 10 were pay seimi T>v.» l .iir.U of the school were M .• ms .>.• half-hreeds. The lat-ter were Hie hrl^liiesi and the quickoit to learn. Manv of the children could not understand a word of English when they lirst entered the sehooT and were unable to read and write Spanish. Foi my benelit several of Hie scholars re-cited little meinori/ed speeches in both languages, I thouifht the performance very creditable and told the school mas-ter so that night.

"Yes," be answered, "they do very well. Did you notice that large boy sitting at the further loft-hand desk?"

"The one who recited "The Burial of Sir John Moore' in English and then re-peated it in Spanish?'

"Yes. Two years ago he did not know his A. H, C ' V '

"He must be 'JO years old." "Just 20, and at" IK he was as large

as he is now. His father is a wealthy cattle owner and this boy is tho only chihl. He had been petted and spoiled from birth. Iti the States that would make a ' sap : ' here it makes a desperado. He ruled the roost al home and his fath-er could do nolhing with him. He curs-ed and smoked, gambled and drank, and always went armed. His fathoi wanted him to enter the school as a pay scholar and I consented to receive him. He did very well the lirst three days and thou was absent. I sent a note to his father inquiring tho cause. He replied that the young rulHan refused to go any more, and ity and com pi smaller scholars informed me tlmtthb truant was out on the side of the moun-tain armed with Winchester and six-shooter. I sent him word to come inti. school and lie punished for truancy. He told the messenger to tell me to 'go to hades.' I deputized four of the larges: hoys to go after him, and ordered them to brin'j him into school if they had to knock him down and tie bltu. They re-turned back iu about half an hour and reported that ho bad 'stood' 'em oil with bis Winchester. Thereupon 1 placed the school in charge of one ol the larger scholars, loaded up my Win Chester and walked over to the moun-tain. After a little search I found the young rulllan. He was .sitting behind a rock, and before he was aware of my a p proach I bad him covered.

A Printar'a Ejiniaiaccac.s of Arhmui ' War J.

Every now ami then I read an anec-dote of Artemus Ward, and they nearly all point the same way—to his loudness for practjcal jokes, it fact, it seems to bo a nopular opinion that all humorists spenu or have spent most of their limo concocting and executing these alleged pleasantries. For one, I am inclined to doubt these stories. My acquaintance with the great Ward, and the impres-sion formed of him by if, makes it seem impossible that he could do anylhing to

Sjive another pain, even in the way of a oke,

Ifi IH.'JM, 1 was working "at cas;-" on the /Yrt/m/crt/tr, Cleveland. Ohio. Chas. F. Browne was then the local repnrier of that paper, and was just begiruiing lo gain a naliuiial reputation by having his productions eopied by Ihe papers all over the country. I had the honor— and I consider it a great honor to this day, though I lliought Utile of i l jhen to set up many of the "goaks," as he called them, fresh from his pen, that afterwards made him famous wherevci the English language was spoken.

The I'laindealer was a small evening paper of Democratle proclivilies, em-ploying, I think, only six hands, and, as is the ease in most small olllces, Iho editorial stall" and tlio mechanical force were on quite intimate terms, al least in the ofllce, Artemus was then working for the munilieent salary of ton dollars per week, and type-sellers received '.'.j cents per thousand. Ho was always in good humor, and very seldom "kieked" even when the intelligent eonipositor mangled his witticisms past recogni-lion. 1 have often seen him come into the composing room with a proof, take the galley, and correct mistakes, with the remark, perhaps, that "it is too fun-ny; I must fix it ."

He was a great favorite, and every-body ifi Cleveland knew him-- not a few by his nose. Now in all the anecdote^ I have read of Artemus Ward (and 1 never allow one to escape me) that groat index to a man's eharaeter, the nose, has never appeared. To illustrate tho hugeness of that organ possessed by him, I will relate a couple of inci-dents:

A fashionable hatter in Cleveland offen-nd as a prize a line silk "stoye-pipo'' hat to the man who had the largest nose. Artemus got the hat and wore it.

Ward invited the printers in the ofllco to a little supper one evening. Of course we all accepted. There was

umig riiinuii rWiisuu iw uuy I adjured me to use my author- 3 0 , n 0 P'jnch, and all in the party par-impel him to go. One of the l"ok quite freely. Strange thmg if they dudiiiM infitrmeil me fimt tin-1 didn't, you might think. I remcmlier

one of the toasts was: "The Nose of Artemus—fimy its shadow never grow less." In great good humor he arose and replied at length, making us cry with laughter.

This nose was of tho extreme Welling-ton type, and I never saw but one to equal it—I mean in dimensions—and it belonged to a tramp printer named Williams. He was called "Ham-Nose" Williams for short by his familiars,-r-N, JI. Turks in Texas Sifliivj.i,

What

Wore Himself Dowu. A half-drunken convivialist met a

poor fellow whose legs had been ampu-tated above the knees, and who walked on the stumps.

"Great goodness! my friend," saitl the convivialist, "how did you wear yourself down so short? How far havo you walked?"

"None of your business." "But a man ought not to bo allowed

to wear himself down in that way. Why don't you ride?"

"You attend to your own business." tho poor fellow replied, putting his hands on the ground, and giving the coiiviv ;ili-l an expressive look.

"But 1 don i want to see you wear yourself out. First thing you know, you'll wear yourself down to tlie back of your neek."

"Are you going lo let me pass?" "No, sir; 1 feel that 1 am lo be re-

sponsible for yunr welfare, I cannot allow you In grifid yourself down any more."

The poor fellow pressed the ground with his liands,swuiig his body around, and knocked the eonvivialist's legs from under him, anil walked away. The sportive man arose, looked after Iho cripple, and remarked: "Give len dol-lars lo the fellow that tells me how that trick was performed. I shall wait un-til he wears liim-^'lf out, before I laeklo him again. Tual 's what a man gefsfor taking :i;i intere-i in the liumaiifamily."

• ArkniiMiw Trut'eh r.

Here is a Boston portrait of the Mur-quis of Lome, Ihe Governor General of Canada: "His eounlenaneo, ihou^hnot unlike Ihe familiar portraits, had much more of expression and maturity of thought than they suggr.fed. The well-marked fealures.espeeially the penetrat-ing eyes and slightly aquiline nose, gave an expression of quick discernment and fearlessness. Hiscomplexiofi is the ideal of health in ruddy freshness, his bear-ing is erect, and bis step easy and elas-tic. A shapely head. Ilaxen hair and mustache, and well-delined chin also catch attention, so that even the humble habitues of Cambridge street, who had no knowledge of his presence in Bos-ton, looked after him as he passed along with expressions of admiralion, blended with euriosilv."

Hame wavering. "How is this done?" It is because ho employs exactly tho quantity of breath needed to carry the sound of the notes. If you or 1 were to try it we should simply waste our breath. In the chapter on "Pronuncia-tion" M. Legouve insists, and tho point can hardly be too much pressed, on the value, the absolute need, in fact, of clear articulation as opposed to mere exertion of voice. This lie illustrates

plants was still young and imperfect. Vegetation was characterized by the abundance of green parts suscepli'blo of rapid growth, and of an almost itidelln-Ite development. It was, however, des-titute of two characters which havo been acquired by the later plants; those of tho periodical and gradual increase of parts destined to endure, and of an ali-soluto specialization of the reproduct-ive annaratus. The vegetable king-

actor began to scream out the words as he was accustomed to. At the end of a few minutes the sound died away on his lips, atid ho was compelled to continue in a murmur. What happened? That he was a thousand times more true and more touching than before, because he was obliged to make up for weakness of voice by force of articulation. Il is true that one cannot speak without a voice but voice alone has so little to do with diction that there are readers, orators and actors to whom the very extent of their voice is a drawback. Unless they are skilled in articulation, tho volume of sound devours the sense.

Had either of these conditions lieen essentially differ-ent or left out. we would have had no coal. The inlluenco of situation is shown by the fact that the coal-liedsare always intermittent; that they are lim-ited in extent, and pass laterally into shales and sandstones, so as to show that there was nothing universal in the phenomenon, and that it was liable to interruption by physical changes. It is also e:tsy to conceive that the forma-tion of coal could not have gone on un-less the vegetation was adapted to tho process, and the conditions of the cli-mate were suitable. The coal-plants
