Chicago Journal. Dr Georgo E. bhipman, the founder of the Foundlings' home, in an 1 interview with a re porter stated that from 7 to 90 per cent of foundlings fed on the bottle die. As the result of twelve years of experience, he pronounced it impossible to rear foundlings by hand. The home of which he is the head now receives only as many children as wet-nurses can be provided for, and since that plan has been adopted only Sper cent, of the babies have died. There are now in the home fifty-six babies, Taring m age from4 clays to 12 months. et nurses are obtained at a very .moderate expense in tins way. Any nealthy woman having a baby of her own is given a free home for nerselt and baby, providing she will take care 01 and nurse one baby besides her own. The result is that there are two babies to every wet-nurse. The nursing-rooms are not constructed like hospital wards, but like ordinary chambers. In each room there irp beds for three nurses, and cradles for six babies. No especial effort is made by Br. Shipnian to obtain wet-nurses, but as a rule they come along voluntarily about as fast as the babies do that need their services. Dr. Suipman is of opinion that tho city is bound to provide for its own foundlings. "If the city can afford!" he said, "to support the ex pensive WaHhingtonian Home for the sake of a lew drunkards, certainly it can afford to sup port helpless, outcast, and abandoned infants. Tho fact is" he continued, "the baby i the only one discriminated against by the city. There is a poor house, an insane asylum, a home for tho friendless, for incurables, for everybody except tho baby, that can't speak for itself. The city must understand that henceforth it cannot'erowd its pauper babies upon us against our will and beyond the limits of our capacity. " Tt'Iagara Park. Cfjmorests Monthly. At length it seems as if Niagara is to be res cued from factories and other disfigurement. It is to the credit of the Canadian government that it has not permitted unsightly buildings and workshops to obstruct the view of the great falls. But, so far, this Btate has taken no steps to Bare tho American side from the pro fanation of flour mills, 1? stories, and sight shows. Tho New York legislature, however, has taken measures to clear away all disfigure ments, and to permit this wonder of the world to be seen in all its splendor. All Americans should at least once in the course of their lives pay a visit to Niagara. The Victoria falls iu central Africa are said to bo even more stupen dous, but they have never been seen save by two white men. When aorial travel is perfect ed it may be possible to visit central Africa, but until that time comes we must be satisfied with viewing the great waterfall of our own Tountry. Jolly Satan. "When man lies," says The "Whitehall Times "the devil laughs." What a jolly old devil it must be, to be sure ! Alway on the broad grin, never glum or sorrowful; always laughl'ig ana tlway3 hurt of having something to laugh at. She Knew Him. Youth's Companion. One of our brisk Now England towns boasts a fine public library, bequeathed to it by one of its former citizens. The library is adorned with busts of uoted poots and authors. Some time ago a lady from the rural districts paid a visit to this "abode of books." After looking about with the greatest interest, she presented herself before the librarian and asked him who the men were whose busts she saw. "That," said he, "is Shakespeare; and that one over by the door is Hawthorne; the next is a bust of Webster, and that one iu the cor ner is John Milton" "What!" exclaimed the old lady, "is that John Milton I knew John Milton," and to the amazement of the librarian, she darted off to the corner. 'You see. sir. I knew him Tears atro. Why. he used to preach in Dan vers; but f guess that bast was took when he was a vouiuzar man. I bast was took when he was a younger ISM. ttTOUBb a bT- of Jtfbu Miltou? J THE EGYPTIANS. What iieneral Stone, an Ex-Pasha, Sy Atout Affairs I11 the Land of the Pharoaiia. Goa C. P. Stone, th aotod American, who was known as Ktone Pasha during, the Egyptian ar, has returned to his naiive land. Gen. Ktone was present with the kbodive dnr- ug the bombardment of Alexandria, in tho palace of Itamlch, where he took refuge during tne bombardment, and remained with him until hJa rotura to Cairo, To &o interviewer he said: "I was appointed chief of staff of the khe- divo'e army and served for somo time under Ismail Pasha, a good and brilliant soldier. Being chief of Prince Tewfik's staff, in Arabi'a rebellion I was placed in a very awkward and perplexing position, as I hardly knew how to act But of that I do not care to talk. There are many things in regard to my position witfi the khedive that remain to be told, but to-day my tonguo is tied The time may come, how ever, when I can speak with freedom." In developing the morale of tho Egyptian army. Gen. Htoue said he had plenty of work. anu me question was how to do it without coining into conflict with ntlmnt T), la had become almost a nonentity In the matter or instruction aud education. Kaid Oeu. Stone: A large number of the officers eonld nnlthr read nor write, but quite a number of the Jun ior officers, who had come from the military schools, re-established by Ismail Pasha were fairly instructed. His highness, the khedive, during several mouths made no demands on me as to what was necessary for great im provements ia the army, leaving me full time to study the subject carefully. I found it necessary to enforce education with men an officers, and in that way the whole army was reorganized. It was no thankful task. Schools were established in every sec tion of the country. With the advantages of good pay. the men tried to make themselves as proficient as thev could, and from schools were chosen the most ira.lluit aiiiim-.. that the Egyptian army could well boast of. Tho schools wore not started as a charity, but expressly as the right of a soldier bearing arms for tho khedive to have his son educated. Un fortunately for Egypt, which was thus intro ducing instruction to the lower classes thn economies introduoed by the European admin istration of 1878-7U economized by the destruc tion of these schools." GOIUAGE. The Governmeat's Profit oei the Coin age of Mil ver and Xlckels. Somo curious facts relating to unredeemed obligations of tho government have been col lated by Tho Now York Sun, which show a con siderable source of profit to tho United States government Tho amount of paper money and coiu which is never presented for redemption comprises a largo sum. Muoh of this is de stroyed by firo. A large quantity of the coin is melted to make sterling silverware. Consid erable amounts of both papor money and coin are expected never to return. For long ago a Uuitod States bond,;issuod about 1819, was pre sented at the sub-treasury in this city. The interest on it had ceased over fifty years. It had come back from Europe through Baring lirotliors. The outstanding princiDal of the public debt of tho United States last vear wan nearly two billions of dollars, chiefly repre- Bcntea by bonds and treasury notes. It would bo. of course, impossible to mv hn-ar mucu 01 ii i in wm uwer ue presented tor re demption, but some idea may be formed from the fact that $57,o0o of it was issued so long that the date is not recorded. It &mar in r. port as "old debt" that may safely be put down aslprofit There is an item of 92,525 of treasury notes issued prior to 1W6. Some of thorn were issued nearly fifty years ago, and will not, ir all probability, ever be presented for .redemption. One thousand one hundred and four dollars of the Mexican indemnity of 1840 has never been claimed. The last of the fractional currency was issued under the act of Juneo, 1.SH4, yet, although nearly twenty years nave empaeu, ii,irn,vtl nas not been presented for redemption. Some of this is held as a'curiosity. Some of it is still used by banks and merchants for transmitting small sums by maiL Several New York banks hare considerable sums of new fractional currency, which they distribute for the accommodation of their customers. As to the coin, the government derives a con siderable profit from it The silver in one thousand silver dollars costs, on an average, avout $803.75. The coinage of a silver dollar costs about y cents. The total cost of one thousand silver dollars to the government is thorefore 8 31 o. 25. Since the organization of the mint, 1703, 127,190,018 silver dollars have been coined, on which the government has re ceived a profit of over twenty-three millions of dollars. In the same period $123,758,510 was coined into half dollars. At the same rate of cost for coinage the government profited $19,395,769 ou these. The total coinage of the government since 1793 is $317,7Gt;,7i. Estimating the profit on the halves, quarters and subsidiary coins at the same rate as on the dollars, the total profit received by the government on its silver coinage has been about sixty-four mil lions of dollars. In the coinage of the five cent nickels the government reserved to itself the ilberal profit I . 1 1. . i n-T . ui uciijr .jv yoi ueiik x uis gave o me gov ernment last year the handsome revenue of over 9100,000 from nickels alone. The wide margin between tho intrinsic value of the five cent nickel and its face value led to extreme counterfeiting. Several years ago an assay was made of some counterfeit nickels, and it was discovered that the conn terf overs had put into their coins more valuable metal than the government uses in making the genuine coins. Ieath-I!ed Repentance. Indianapolis Review. Death bed-repontances are no longer ap proved by the most enlightened part of the human race. The grossest form of faith is that which fancies it cau "make its peace with God" iu a moment of abject terror after a life time of wickedness or impious regard of His laws. It would bo pitiable if it were not so shameful. Alexander Stephen's physician, Dr. Steiner, tells that several years ago he was in attend ance upon him when his recovery was very doubt fuL A friend who was present said to Mr. Stephens. "If vou have no obiectiona I will'road a chapter in the Bible, and we will have a prayer." With a flashing eyes the eick man said quickly and decisively: "I do object, and most decidedly. I have no objection to prayer, for I believe in it, but I do object to death bed repentance. I have made it the rule of my life to live each day as if it tics I have sometimes forgotten myself, but I am no better to-day on my death bed than I have tried to be every day of my life, and I have no special preparations to make-and no spocial pleas to offer." To "livo every day as though it might be the last" is the highest philosophy, the truest re ligion. Draining the Dismal M warn p. Scientific American. The Dismal swamp in Virginia is much re duced in extent compared to what it was twenty years ago. It now contains, says a re cent.visitor there, some of the beet farming land in -the state. A railroad runs across it, and it is on its way to final extinction. The drainage of Lake Drummond, a central body of water lying higher than the average level of tho swamp, wouid mko the whole area fertile. This is a project of Gov. Benjamin F. Butler, who once had surveys made, bnt at length abandoned it The 0:10 great industry of tho swamp is lumbering. It is penetrated by small cuicuos in connection witn me larger canals, and by rude traniroada. over whu-h the logs are hauled to bo s.wed up into shingles, rail road ties and fencing. The lake, however, with its fringe of cyoress aud its projecting roots and stumps, is just as dismal as ever. Au Even Trade. Arkansaw Traveler.

Bob E. lUymond in Han Frajicisco Chronicle The-; wine vault of Inon are situated down under the olj London and St Kathar ine's dock. They are vast cellar under bond, like the government warehouse in America, aud are very elaiilarly couductod They contain over SKO.OOO.OOO gallons of wine enough to supply at least seven gallon to every man, woman aud child in the united kingdom. The vault are vast cellars, Wie sixteen or eighteen f-ct.high and embracing an acreage of thirteen and a half. Home Of them are very old, dating, indeed, from that lastoentury. Through them Lav passed the wlno of nair a uoaen tippling generations, and their re cesses are burdened with odors of many an old butt of Malmsely and nob-fruited Madeira that has giving a headache to some reveler of the time when Oeorge IV. was regent The odor is none the better for its age and although a sniff of old wine is not half bad, one remem ber the choice of that utterly utter young Persian who was given by the Shah (he choice of death "Let mo die amid sweet perfumes " he murmured; and ao they chucked him Into a hogshead of attar of roses, where he expired fF"1 8y- Ho i happened that the visitor w uio win vaults gew.too much eoent for his own good, and unless be ha a strong head Set quite tight As a preventive, the visitor a hi stomach fortified with a preliminary drink.

I will not get drunk on the fumes either." Ala for the promise of this young blossom from the wheat fields of Minnesota! Gentle reader, we led him forth from the vaults, after a two hours' ramblo through their tortuous wind ings, a howling inebriate drunk all over. He wanted to fight, got facetious at the expense of our. f,uiao" utl ""ins vociferously and without melody. The phenomenon which this case il lustrates is frequently observed in the older vaults, although it takes effect on some people with more emphatic results than others. Xatare'a Protective Celora. Youth's Companion. Nature, like a careful mother, equips her children as best she can for the battle of life. She gives to animals colors that, by roscmbling their surroundings, protect thorn against their enemies. The brown or gray'color of the wild rabbit blends with its surroundings and hidos it from hostile eyes. The mottled feathers of tho quail and partridge Closely resemble tho iauen leaves, among which the young birds eonccal themselves. Animals that roam at night, as do the rats and mice, bats and moles. are usually of a neutral tint, such as escapes notice in the dusk. The helpless tree-toad takes the color of tho tree on which it lives, and his bitterest enemy has hard work to find him. The animals and birds of the hot desert are tawny and gaudy in'.hue. So the lion con ceals himself by crouching in the sand, and thenc springs upon his unsuspecting prey The tiger stalks among the jugles of India. The vertical brown lines which adorn his tavny skin enable him to lurk unseen among the bamboo stems. The spotted skin of the' jaguar imitates the changing spots of light and shade among the leaves, and thus conceals him ia his lair. The Suma has neither bars nor spots on its skin ; it oes not need them. It waits for it prey by crouching along the limb of a tree where it dull color escapes notice. White animals and whit birds are, as a rule, dwellers in Arctic regions. The white suit of the polar bear indicates at once it distant home amid the snows and snow-fields of the norm, some animals, like the Arctic foxes and Alpine hares, wear their white livery only in winter, and appear in summer clad in brown r gray. In the thick tropical forests, whose bright foliage is never touched by frost, live the brilliant green parrots and paroquets that seem so out of place here. Nature also seems to take pains in prnvtdin" for her weak and helpless creatures. The up per surface of the wings of some of our com mon butterflies is of a bright color, but the lower surface is dusky. When they light on a tree or wall, and close their wings, the color of which closely resembles the surrounding sur face, the insect collector need sharp eye to find them. Moths that fly by night are gray, er neutral, in tint Some tropical butterflies resemble withered leaves-, and even the marks on their wings appear like the veins of a leaf. Our grasshoppers take the color of the grass. Beetles frequenting mossy banks are green in color. Beetles that live on the bark of trees are rough like bark, and frequently resemble lichens. Some defenseless insects 'are protected by their resemblance to insects able to defend themselves. Somo flies, which possess no means of defenee, resemble wasps and hornets. In these and in many other ways nature watches over her children so that none, from th least to the greatest, shall lack protection. ignite a Coincident. Boston Courier. The following conversation between two ladies, which was started nobody knows by what train of thought, was overheard in a horso car Saturday afternoon. First lady "By the way, whatever became of that man down on Cape Cod, or somewhere, who killed some of his children because he thought the Lord ordered him to, and brtlieved they would bo raised to life again in three day?" Second lady "I really don't know. I believe though, he's in a hospital somewhere. But what a strange and shocking delusion, wasn't it?" First ladv "It was, indee 1; but it would h ive been rather funny, wouldn't it, if they h d come to life as he thought they would?" Soco.nl lady, with severity, "I'm sura I don't sec any thing funny about it." First lady "Well, "at any rate you must admit that it would have been quite a coincident " Theme for a Siew Cemle Play. Thiladelphia News. The peculiar election of Tabor, his six weeks career as a senator, his bang-up style of doing things at Washington, bis divorce and his mar riage and his display of a set of night shirts worth $250 apiece, ought to present a good theme for a comic play. Can any one now say that the character of Hon. Bardwell Slote, in "The Mighty Dollar," was an exaggeration. An Acceptance "on a Ply." A lover was taking his young lady out for a drive.

"What has my darling been doing to-day, To pay for her washing and mending? IIow can she manage to keep out of debt For so much caressing and tending? How can I wait till the years shall have flown And the hands have grown larger and stronger? Who will be able the interest to pay, If the debt runs many years longer? De.ir little feet!
