ARBOR DAY.
Nebraska's Day Celebrated with
Appropriate Exercises
This day was set adde by the legisla
ture as a holiday to ho devoted to the
plnnting of trees, and in honor of its in
ventor, the birthday of J. Stirling Mor
ton lias been fixed for its observance.
This i truly a Nebraska institution but
one which has been borrowed extensive
ly by other states, which is made of good
judgment on their part. Arbor day has
been observed in Nebraska for many
years, and each year grows more in favor
with the people of the state. The spirit
with which the school children have be
come, imbued under the guidance of
parents and teachers is an evidence that
it is not a shortlived institution. The
Keliooli.throughout ths state have gen
erally observed the day, but PlatUmouth
schools have heretofore dune very little
Today, however, tliey did themselves
proud with the z:;al with which teachers
and children alike entered into the work.
At the central building the work is
under the direet supervision of Prof.
Drummoud, and presents a very tasty
appearance. About 200 shrubs and 150
trees arc artistically arranged on the
campus which has ben graded and put
in good condition for the work.
The class of '88 assisted by Prof.
Drummond an 1 Mr. Chatburn se'- out a
group of trees in the form of a star
which gracefully adorns the southwestern
corner of the campus. The various ward
schools spent the forenoon in planting
trees, from ten to fifty being planted at
each school house. The citizens generally
observed the day. but from appearances
no one was worked for a prize.
The Evangelistic Meetings-
Sabbach Morning, Kev. Mr. Clagett ad
dressed a congregation tilling the Method
ist church, on the words: "Terah died
in Ilaran" (Geu. 11 '32). Terah was on
the way to Canaan from Ur of the Chal
dees, but halted at Haran and died there,
lie had left the laud of -idolatry and
outbreaking wickedness and was bound
for Canaan, the land of promise. The
attractions of 'Ilaran were s'ich that he
staid there till he died. Ilaran was not
in Canaan. It was only half-way to
Canaan. It was the city of professed
morality. The street by which you enter
the tiie city is Moral ty street. On this
street live honorable business men, gcod
neighbors, worthy people. They plead
their morality, their good works, what
they do for they have nothing else to
plead. They cannot plead for Christ's
sake. Profession street is the business
street of the city on which live tho mem
bers of the church, who are not true
Christians. Half-conviction street is the
abode of those uIid one day are packin;
up to go to Cana m and on t he next day
are unpacking resolved tj stay awhile
longer They linger in Haran till they
die and never reach Canaan. The same
sad result characterizes those who live
on Time Enough street and Good He-solution
street.
Iu the afternoon service appropriate
i-xhortations to practical duties were
iiiwn to the young converts.
In thi evening a solemn sermon on the
text. "The Time is Short," was heard with
doep attention by an audience that filled

A BRICK INDEED.
And One that has a Most Glittering
of people stop daily in
front of the window of the Diamond
Palace Opera House block, to view the
gold brick that caused the death of sev

The story is briefly related ou a sheet
if paper which hangs xuKpended above
the brick, and is told iu.these words.
"His Royal Lowness, Fcdorico Gon

WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE.
flo KonnMiiliprol Unppy Childhood's Days
ou the Dear Old Homestead.
lie was a stout gentleman, with a silk hat
und a blue beaver overcoat, and when he
stopped to look at a squad of laborers nt
work in the digging of the new city hall cel
lar the other morning, a place was at onee
made for him on the- heap of granite blocks
that had once been a fence base. Surveying
the crowd, his eye fell upon two men who
were engaged in reducing the recently felled
trees to suitable lengths for hauling away.
He at onee gave vent to a sigh and sadly re
marked: "Ah, gentlemen, this reminds mo of my
happy childhood on the old farm !"
The crowd looked at him sympathizingly,
and one of the number ventured the question:
"Does it?"
"Many a time I have shouldered my us ct
daybreak, and gone out into tho woods over
near Muskrat creek, and chopped until sun
down. Yes, and I never felt it as much as I
do a walk down to the office."
"No times like the old times," observed a
little man in a faded overcoat: "old age
makes us indifferent men."
"I don't know my friend ; I think I could
swing an ax with the best of 'em, darned if I
don't!" announced the stout gentleman, as ho
began removing his gloves. "I'm going to
try if I can't get a chance."
I?y producing a silver quarter, ho was pi
lowed to take tho place of one of the chop
pers, and, removing his overcoat, spat upon
h'S bands. Swinging the ax around his head,
be knocked his silk hat into a wash rag and
brought the edgo down on a limb that en
dowed it with enough elasticity to cause it to
violently rebound, the helve striking him on
the chin. "Gosh!" he gasped, while the
crowd fell back to a distance of fifteen feet,
"I forgot that hat." Settling himself, he
brought the ax down again, with enough vio
lence to break a steel balL But he under
estimated the distance from tho tree , and he
missed it by a foot at least, striking the ax
out of eight. Some oi;o snickerpd at this
point, and the stout gentleman got three
shades redder.
"I can do it!" he gasped: "I forgot tho old
time swing." Then he blazed away again,
this time overreaching his work. The handle
struck the trunk, and with a howl of pain,
he dropped the ax.
"What's the matter?" demanded a boy with
a fur cap.
"Ouch! Gosh, all serpents! That stung
like blazes!"
Here tho owner of the ax suggested that
perhaps he was tired. This insinuation had
an irritating effect on the old time woodman,
and he indignantly seized the ax.
"?To, sir! I can do this for two hours!" he
replied as he again went to tho onslaught.
Amid the applause of the spectators he
buried the blade in the wood and then pre
jared to cut on tho other side. Prir.ging
down the ax, he scut a pound chip into his
face like a riflo shot. Dropping the ax he
stepped on a bowlder and fell liko a felled
giant of the forest into a heap of brush, from
vbieh he was dragged bleeding.
A ivliceman and the little man in the
faded overcoat took him &rpund the corner,
where they sat him on a barrel, iostructiug
the little boy with tho fur cap to tell hiiii
when tho next Central avenue car came
along.
''Much obliged, friends; much obliged,"
whispered the woodman as he mopped his
bleeding nose, "But that ax wasn't a bit
like the one I used to have. . Must have been
awful dull. Huc'u obliged." Cincinnati

GATHERING A CITY CROWD.
Experience of it AVasgiith tub Mhii at a
New York Drinking I'ounlalii.
I have a friend cf the clubs ::s mad n
wag as ever livrd when the humor of bis
before dinuer absinthe is upon him. Wo
were crosing a public square, ono balmy
evening last .spring; 0 o'chx:k hud just been
j-crceched at us by every factory whistle
wilhing hearing, and the sidewalks were
a swarm.
"I'll lay you the dinners," said my
farceur, "that I can create a riot here in
side of live minutes."
He stopped at the public drinking foun
tain and took up the tin cup that was
chained to it. The passers by stared a little
1 losi-e so elegant a geii'li-niati stop to tlnnit
at a common fount of cheap refreshment.
Several halted, after tAins on a few
paces, to look back, lie Idled the cup
: deliberately. The waiting several had
' become a score, lie raised the cup slowly
j toward his hps. The score e.rev t;j lifty.
' Suddenly he dashed the water into tie
basin and lilied the cup again, only to
again empty it untouched. Liy this time
We were encircled by so many people that
they could not be counted, and 1 could
hear such observations ami inquiries all
'around us, as:
"He'll drink it this time."
"Jtet you the d-lnks Le don't."
"Must be dirty." ; ,
"What is it"
".May be the cup leaks." 'J'
"lie must be some crank."
"What, uil3 him, anyhow?"
"May be common water isn't good
enough fur him."
There was also addressed to him,
through this running lire of comment,
many more or lesd friendly and disinter
ested suggestions and instructions, like:
"Wrench the cup out" from u motherly
fat woman, pokinir her umbreila at him.
"Have :i stick in it," by a man with a
shiny black hat and a shiny reel nose.
"Tell the waiter to open another
bottle."
This sally, which proceeded from a
young man in crossed barred trousers,
with n very large and massive cane, which
he carried like a yard stick, was hailed
with such applause that a park police
man found himself called upon to inter
fere; whereupon my friend hitrled the
cup into the basin with an expression of
the face indicative of great disgust and
loathing, and shoved his way out of the
crowd as quickly as he could. We could
hear the roar of voices and the sharp
rapping of the policeman's club when we
turned into the restaurant, a block and
more away; and I learned by the papers,
next day, that the shiny red nose and the
shiny black hat slept in a station house
cell on a general charge of disorderly con
duct and the. utterance of murderous
threats against some person or persons
unknown.
It is the same crowd that inspects the
sewer hole into which a shiny man de
scends, the cellar excavation where the
men are not working because it is wet
weather, the house Mrs. I.angtry lives iu,
or the man at the fountain. This same
crowd will invest a shop window where a
pasteboard cobbler is stitching at a paper
shoe under the propulsion of the heat
from a gas jet, or rather under a three ton
safe that is being hoisted up to a tenth
story window by a rope that may be rot
ten and machinery that may be on the
point of giving way, for all the thought
they give to it, or pack a si reel where
some roofers have kit a tar pot boiling
while they have sat down cm a doorstep to
cat their dinner. The quality and quan
tity of amusement an average New York
street idler can extract from an hour's
stare at an tint ended tar pot will, no
doubt, ever remain a mystery to you and
me. Hut such as it is, he extracts it, and
is, to nil appearances, quite satisfied with
his bargain. Alfred Trumble hi The
Argonaut.
ITair fprir-g of a Watch.
The making of the hair spring is really
the most delicate operation about the
manufacture of the watch. The wire is
received in spools, and is nothing more
than a round thread. This is inn K-t wee a
hardened steel rollers and ilattened, and,
bting wound on tho roll, is then drawn
between diamond dies, which give the re
quired thickness and width.. The spring
must be cf exactly the same width and
thickness, and before being used is tested
on a register which marks down to one
two hundred and fifty thousandths of an
inch.
To show to what fineness this meas
ures, a Lair placed between the jaws
marked 400 , and moved forward halt
an inch registered 803 :.
Of course, every one knows that a hair
varies in thickness, but that it should be
so exactly measured is a surprise; and
when it is remembered that the hair
spring of n watch cannot vary even so
much us the variance in a hair from the
hurnau head, the delicacy of the operation
will be emphasized in the imagination.
The wire is received in lengths of 1,'j'j0
yards, and in this entire length must not
vary J , or one-thirtieth of what a hair
varies in half an inch.' The spring Is then
cut into lengths of twelve inches, and
these are wound, four at a lime, and very
quickly, the tool resembling a large pen
holder, and turning from the end, into
the shape of a spring and of seventeen
coils. The wire is hardened, but winds
very easily, and is removed from the
winder in copper hoses. Globe-Democrat.
A Bnrated rianet's Silver.
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter,
at a distance of about 2-iO.OOO,000 miles
from the sun, there revolves some
little bodies whose diameters vary from
8 or 10 miles to 200. Whether they are,
as Professor Young once described them,
parts "of a planet spoiled in the making"
or not is unknown, and perhaps may never
be solved. But certain it is that there are
almost numberless little celestial bodies
of this character, whose revolutions
around the sun sire performed as uner
ringly as those of the larger planets. They
are called planetoids, from two Greek
words, which mean resembling a planet
or wanderer. Public Opinion.
