A firefly or glow worm im prisoned under a glnss will show, in the dark, bright spots of light on his body, i A piece of salted fish or a chip of de cayed wood will sometimes give a pale cold light in t he night. Then there are certain chemicals like phosphorous and compounds of sulphnr, lime, strontium and barium, if placed in the sunlight in glass vessels and then taken into the dark, will give out dull colored lights. All these the drops of fire in the sea, ithe glow worm, the bit of decayed wood and these chemicals are sources of the light called phosphorescence. Tlie Wonieu 1 Sweden.

Mr. Chilblud Mr. Joseph Chilblud you will understand, not John, the happy, good-hearted ne'er-do-well en tered the breakfast-room on a chilly Autumnal morning, and glanced criti cally at tho table laid for the morning meal. Yes, it was arranged as it should be and as Mr. Chilblud always expected to find it spotless cloth and china, the coffee-urn bubbling and steaming, the little silver spirit-stove boiling tho water ready to re ceive the eggs, napkins properly folded, and finally the newspa per, ready , cut and aired and spread across the arm f his easy chair. Everything being satisfactory, Mr. Chilblud crossed over to the fire, and his position on the hearth-rug causing him to front a mirror, he naturally glanced at his reflection therein. A long, broad face,with very neatly trimmed, whiskers, no mous tache to hide the wide, thin lips," light, penetrating eyes, an aquiline nose, and carefully brushed dark hair, form ed a tout ensemble which, to one per son at least, was altogether pleasing, and timt person was Joseph Chilblud. It may be said with truth that Mr. Chilblud entertained a very hum opimnon or nimseii, both physically and morally, and it is equally true that he had grounds for doing so. Born in a somewhat hum ble position, he had, by steady perse verance and determination, raised himself Gradually until he held at the age of 42, the post of inspector of ele mentary schools, with a salary of be tween 400 aud 500 per annum. And from boyhood to manhood his life had been exemplary, no tempta tions having had power to move him from the paths pf virtue. Whether this was due to the coldness of his disposition or to the severe and extreme rectitude of his conduct, it is hard to say,;but certain it is that Mr. Joseph Chilblud of 19 Propriety Square was deemed a pat tern in the squadruple character of husband, lather, house-holder and in spector. His marriage, too, has been perfect as a stroke of business and a proof of good taste. For the lady whom he honored with his hand was pretty rich and good-tempered; and moreover she retained after seven years of matrimony the same respect for her husband and awe of his stu pendous talents that she had carried in her fluttering little heart to the altar. Mr. Chilblud was on the point of opening his watch when Mrs. Chilblud entered the room. He replaced it in his pocket and took his seat at the table, while his scrutinizing eye invol untarily turned to survey his wife's gown. Observing that it was in her usual correct taste, he gravely depos ited the eggs in the boiling water and placed his watch on the table to mark the time. "Joseph," said Mrs. Chilblud, while the meal was proceeding, "I wish you would look at Ethel before you go out; she seems a triffe feverish." "I. suppose she has been running and overheating herself again." said the tleman in a voice which was a nat ural concomitant of his whole person lear. cold and searching. "I told Sarah that for the next offense of the sort she would receive her dismissal; the children must not be permitted to overtire themselves with exercise." "No; it is not that;" 1 am afraid it is Ethel's own fault. She will try to" learn Arthur's lessons, though Dr. Sinclair, as you know, strictly forbade her touching a book for another year art least. He said: "Give her plenty of exercise and play, but no lessons until she is 5;' and yet she knows the whole alphabet, and can read little words:" Mrs. UnuDlud, s face was a mixture of dwmay and maternal pride in her child's capacity. "jjo you use your authority in the matter, my dear?" "1 endeavor to, but it is impossible to tell how or when she picks up hsr knowledge. And she asks me such strange questions sometimes I scarce ly know how to answer her." ; Mr. Chilblud pushed back his chair, and took up his former position on the hearthrug only with his back to the fire this time. A little frown oi uneasiness marred the customary se renity oi his aspect. ' : - ' "Marian," he said1, after a length ened pause, "we shall have to be extremely careful with Ethel. Tho child is nreternaturally quick, her brain-power preponderates un duly over the fragility of her body. She mu3t be kept back; as bin clair says, nothing must be allowed to excite the activity, of the mind, but every aid given to strengthening the delicate little frame. How is her ap petite now? " "Wonderfully good; infact.asa rule, she appears to be in very fair health I sometimes wonder at the constant surveillance we exercise is not as harm ful as allowing her to learn what she can by. herself." k "My dear Mpriqn in a case of this description a medical man must be the judge; and my own opinion entirely coincides with that expressed. by Sinclair. Wo must not allow Ethers intellect to be forced, or grave consequences may ensue. With Arthur it is entirely different. He is of a quiet, unexcitable, somewhat phlegmatic temperament, and will plod steadily on without makiog a particularly bnuiant show, i tnmic the wisest course we can take is to Bend Ethol into the country. It is, of course, impossible for me to lave London just now, so that we can not remove the household; but we can send the child to your sister's. The place is extremely pleasant and healthy, there are little ones near her own age, she would be out of doors the greater .part of the day, and the food fresh milk, eggs and fruit is highly desirable. What do you say? Suppose y.ou write to Mrs; uoie, ana we can talk the matter over this even ing." 'But Joseph," interposed Mrs. Chil blud,' anxiously, "you do not think she is going to be ill?" "Certainly not, answered her hus band in his smooth, precise tone, 'only I am a great believer in the old adage, 'Prevention is better than cure and with a child of Ethel's cal iber one can not be too vigilant and careful. Now my dear, we will have the children down; for I must go in ten minutes. I will try and see Sin clair later on to discuss our plans; iu the meantime, let there be a truce to all lessons to-day; and could you not invite the little Howlands over and let them all have a good romp to gether in the nursery? It would do Ethel good." "Well?" said Miss Burton, in an swer to the uplifted hand. "Please, teacher, Tommy Carter's asleep!" Brought thus plainly under her no tice, the teacher was compelled to see what she did not wish to observe at the moment. "Tommy Carter, come here;" and at the sound of his name the boy sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Why, Tom my, what is the meaning of this?" said. Miss Burto in a kind voice, for the boy was one of her brightest pu oils. and ehe knew something about his home life. He was a tall boy for his age, a little under 7 (all the children in Miss Burton's room were under 7), with a face that might have been any father's pride; such a hand some, open countenance, in spite o! its griminess, and the thick locks oi matted unkempt hair which fell over his brow. "Please, teacher, I didn't mean to go to sleep, but I wor so tired!" "How is that?" "I didn't go to bed till long past 12 last night, and father he woke me at 5 to light the fire, 'cos mother couldn't get up, 'cos she ain't well." "What kept you up so late?" "Where was your mother?" "Please, teacher, mother went to the Dolphin to fetch "father, and they didn't come out till they was turned out, and .then father and mother had a row, and he knocked her spinning, and she's bad to-day, she is." "And was there nobody to look aft er the baby but you?" "No,'cos the lady what lives in the next room she's gone away, and the baby cried so I took it and sat on the door-step till mother come in, and then it didn't stop. Father said he'd chuck it out o' window if mother didn't quiet its row." The boy spoke in a quiet, matter-of- fact tone. Why not? He was used to his life; such scenes were of daily oc currence, and if the previous night's, experiences had been a trifle worse than usual, there was one comfort to be derived from them his mother was too ill to get drunk that day, at least. "You may go to your place," said the teacher quietly. "I am going to give out the sums. Annie Blake, what are you crying for?" The little girl aqdftssed vouchsafed no reply, out aitei iittie hesitation the child who occupied the next seat volunteered the information that Annie Blake felt sick. Miss Burton called the little girl to her side. "What is the matter, Annie? Have you had anything to disagree with you?" The child shook her head, bhe was very clean ana tidily dressed, tnougu in woetully patched garments. "What did you have for breakfast "Nothing, teacher," said the little girl, looking up with timid eyes. "Mother couldn t give us any this lla i morning, oecause an tne Dreaa was gone. "is your lather out oi worsr" "Yes, teacher, he's got a bad foot." Miss Burton led the child into the head-mistress' private room and gave her a roll out of the bag that contained her own lunch. "Sit down and eat that, and if I can manage it I will go round and see your mother after school.". The teacher's heart ached as she re turned to the school-room. It was horrible to think of a child, little more than a baby, sent breakfastlesa to school. She knew well the extreme destitu tion there was among many of the children, for the school was situated in a very poor neighborhood. She did what she could to relieve the most pressing cases in her own room, but it was only a drop of kindness in an ocean of distress. Many a parcel oi old cldthes and boots she collected among her friends and distributed to the children, but there were some to whom it was worse than useless to give the children of idle, depraved parents, who would strip every tidy article of apparel off their own and their children's backs and pawn them tot a few pence, to obtain what was more than decency or natural affec tion to them drink. The teacher did her best even in these cases. , "Now, Mary," she would say, fastening a warm petticoat on a little girl, "tell your mother if you come to school without this to-morrow that 1 shall send you back. You are tto wear it every day." Occassion ally the , hint had the desired effect, but hot often" ' Returning to the . school-room, Miss Burton stood still for a moment at the open door. The children had tak en . advantage of her temporary ab sence to vacate their places, and were amusing themselves in various ways. And wor 3e than all, at the other door, leading from the main corridor, stood the inspector, the man whom they all dreaded because of his influence in high quarters, and because of his Cold, calculating nature," which regard ed the maintenance of discipline as the first law of the universe. Thert ho he stood, his light, inquiring eyes calmly taking in the whole scene. ' 'Cirrr mrrtiinT Mice "Rnrt.nn T am afraid my call is rather inopportune May I asTc, do the children often dis port themselxes in this manner?" - Miss Burton colored at the sarcas tic tone, but replied quietly: . "It is very unusual. 1 had occasion to take a child awap who felt ill, and I am sorry to eee that the others have behaved badly dnring my absence." ' ' ','Hum! Perhaps it would have been better if you had sent a monitor, in stead of leaving the room yourself. Kindly place the children; I wish to examine them. -That is-right.- Now, children, attentionl Wait! Do I see a boy asleep?" Miss Burton once moreroused Tam my Carter, at the same time endeav oring to explain soto voce to the In spector the reason of the little fellow's fatigue. "Yes, yes," he said in his lofty but polite voice; "one hears so many of these kinds of stories generally ex cuses for idleness, you know." "But, I believe, I am almost posi tive, this boy's story is correct, for his parents are both "Pardon me, but I should never get through my duties if 1 stayed to listen to all the stories the children bring. The way to do the work in a place of this kind is to go straight on, regard less of obstacles, and, above every thing, to discountenance chatter." "But we are bound, in fairness, to listen to any reasons the children may have to account ior their absence, late arrival, etc." objected the teacher, with a shade of warmth, "otherwise I should have punished a little girl just now for crying because she had had no food since yesterday." "Iam really afraid, Miss' Burton," said Lr. Chilblud, impressively, "that you are a little too sensitive for yout post. Think of the cause in which you are enrolled as one of the workers, the education of the masses a truly noble work. Do not I pray you, sharpen your teelings on tho woes, real or imaeinary, oi ludividual cas es." "But," said the teacher, bravely. "It is with individual cases one must deal. How can I compel a child to work whose eyes are heavy and limbs weary for want of rest, and pro per nourishment? What can one ex nect from the exhausted systems of these habits?" "Madam, vou know the schedule. It was arranged with a proper knowledge of what can be and is done Dy chil dren under 7." "Yes, but it is right to expect so much from these ill-fed; ill-clothed, and in many cases, diseased children? Many of them bring their dinners to school. You should see what is pro vided for them. I would venture to assert that in this room there are pretty well twenty chifdren with the same fare . to-day a thick slice of bread, with a disgusting-looking com pound they call dripping, but which more resembles cart-grease, l have frequently seen the dtlicate ones turn almost with loathing from this their customary mia-day meal. "Very sad, oi course; out Decause a child has not proper food is no argu ment why it should also remain ignor- Win you allow me to ask you one question, Mr. Chilblud? Would you force your own children, who have ev ery advantage, to do what is required by the School Board?" The Inspector looked at this daring teacher much as one regards an impu dent menial who has the effrontery to dictate to a superior. "The cases are not parallel, he said icily, and then proceeded to his work of examination. This he conducted in a manner one would have expected from him. Going the most round about way to ask the simplest ques tion, and thereby puzzling the little brain needless, wras Mr. Chilbluq's notion of discovering how much the children really knew. But, to do him justice, he could, as a rule, in spite of his supreme egotism, form a tolerably correct idea of how they had been taught disciplined, although he had never yet met with a teacher who fully satisfied his requirements God be thanked. School over, Miss Burton hastily donned her walking attire, and hur ried round to a dismal, dirty street not a stone's throw from the school. Quickening her way through groups of loud-voiced, gossiping women and miserable, squalid children playing amid the dirty bones and garbage of all sorts that filled the gutter, until she reached the house where little Annie Blake lived. Finding the child'a. tale was perfectly true, she left with her mother what money she could spare, and went on hea way again. But a sudden thought striking her as she was nearing the top of the wretch ed alley, she retraced her steps and knocked at the door of a house about half-way down. It was opened by a thin, pale women with a baby in her arms. "Good faternoon, Mrs. Collier; I just called to aak why Bobby has not been to school to day." "I am very sorry, miss, but I could not get him to go." "Why?" "He wouldnot go without his boots, and they won't hang on any longer." "Is ytur husband still out of work? ' "Yes, miss," said the women, sadly: "it's just over three months now since he earned a penney." "But you get help from the parish!" "Not v farthing they say we must go into the House; they will not give out-door relief; and Jim, he's set against taat. He can't bear the idea of breaking up the home, poor as it is; besides, we don't want to make pau pers of our children." There was quite a flash of pride in the poor moman's white, hungry face as she 8 poke. "But you can not go like thisl" said Miss Burton gently. "Jim's got hopes of a job in a week or two he has been half promised, and it may lead to something con stant. I go out washing and char ing four days a week, so if we can only hold out a little longer things may get a bit brighter soon. If it wasen't for the little ones I should not mind, but it's hard to see them hungry and the cupboard emDty." The mute sufftr ing in the - woman's fa.ee was far more painful to witness than a demonstra tive eri'ef. ': t ' ' ' ' '-, -u Miss Burton laid her hand on her arm and said:. "Try and bear up, Mrs. Collier: you have at least the consolation of knowing you do your best. As to Bobby, tell him that he is to come to school to-morrow. I will arrange about some new boots. I mean we will see to it among us." JNot waiting to hear the woman s thanks, the teacher hurried away. . ; Dinner was over in Propriety Square. The children, who. always came down to dessert, had been captured and car ried Off by their nurse. Mr. and Mrs. ChiiDlud had indulged in a quiet con' versation about the arrangements for Ethel's deDarture: for Mr. Chilblud ha3 Inanaged to see the floctor,who highly approved of the country plan. uonsequeutiy, it was to be put into execution without loss ox time. "We shall miss her dreadfully." .said Mrs. Chilblud. with tears in her eyes. ; '.Ov'. .- ':'.. "Of course we shall." . asserted her husband, "but it is a case in which we must make our feelings subservient to the child's benefit," and with what sounded like a sigh he took out his tablets to look over some memoranda penciled on- them. Mrs. Chilblud bent over her work. and there was silence, save for the crackling of the fire and the subdued netting oi tne timepiece. At was a coia, cnui evening, ana the room looked very comfortable with its handsome furniture, rich, soft carpet, and heavy plush curtains, on ail oi which the firelight threw a thou sand dancing gleams. "Joseph," said Mrs. Chilblud, sud denly looking up from her work. J want to ask you something." "I am all attention." renlied her lord and master. "I was reading In the paper this morning about a child dying from overpresure. Is it true? Do they really make them work so hard in these Board Schools?" Mrs. Chil V.'ud's eyes were full of pitying won cer, which her husband's cold orbs quickly quenched. "My dear, pray do not you indulge in the absurd, mock sentimentality that is so much in vogue at the pres ent time. These people the parents whose children can for a nominal sum receive an excellent education hate to be dragged from their wretched ness and ignorance. Born in vice and darkness themselves, they would rear their onspnng the same way they put forward every obstacle to prevent the children's attendance at chool, and wh9n forced to send them, they make complaints about the amount of work. Those cases, of which you speak are rank impositions to work on the feelings of the. public." . "But there was a letter the other day, signed A Teacher,' stating that far to, much is expected from young children. Did you see it?" "I can not say I did not; but I know the style of the thing. I came across a young woman only this raornins who is, I should imagine, iust the one to air her foolish notions m that wav: but probably she will have leisure for reflection presently, for I doubt if she will be retained on the staff after I send in my report. I am determined fully determined to do all I can to crush out this abomin able spirit of resistance to the ad vauce of education and the upholding of discipline. "Yes Joseph," said Mrs. Chilblud, returuins to her work, convinced that her husband was, without ex ception, the wisest, most far-seeing and learned of men. Killing of a Great Grizzly. The largest grizzly bear ever killed on this coast was shot by old Trap per Hendrix, near the source of Bat- tie creek, in Tehama county. The bear was famous throughout North ern California as old "Clubfoot," and was the terror of the Sierra. For 20 years he had seemed tobearacharm- ed life. Many human beings and hundreds of cattle, sheep and hogs have fallen victims to his appetite. Many parties started out to bag him, but returned -without his hide. The beast weighed when dressed .2,300 Dounds. the lanrest animal of this species ever seen on the continent. Hendrix feels justly proud of his achievement, and a purse of $500 has been made up for his benefit by the residents of eastern Tehama county. The bear was in rather poor condition when slam, as old age had clogged his blood somewhat, and time had commenced to paralyze his former supple limbs, so that he was not able to capture his prey. The hunter is tanning hide, which he pro- Eoses to use as a cover for his winter ut in the foot hill. San Francisco Special. mm a a The Only Two Who St ood Up. Ihe illiterate whites in the moun- tains of Tennessee and Georgia, said President Spence, of Grant university, Sunday evening, have a keen sense of humor, and, despite their ignorance, are at times witty. It was related that Sam Small at the end of one of his breezy sermons requested those of his hearers who wanted to go to heaven to rise. Every one in the house but one man rose. Then Sam asked those who wanted to go to hell to get up. A tall, lean mountaineer rose and improving the opportunity for a ioke, pointed a long, bony finger at Small and said: "If pears, parson, tnat you ana. me s xne oniy .it ia i fellers stimdin.' President Spence asked Small what 11V DtAlU 1U icpij. If Xid' V U X DtlJ i replied the whoop-it up-like-fury preacher, "W hy, 1 couldn t say a word. It took fifteen minutes to get the crowd quieted down." Probably only a few of the audience, knew what Small had been preaching to them, but every man had just enough in telligence to appreciate the joke. Buffalo Express. Electrical Engineering.
