Noted Men Who Webe Newsboys.— The newsboy learns valuable lessons in his experiences in the streets, lessons the want of which has caused many failures in life. He learns littte of books, but u great deal of men. He learns with the utmost thoroughness the practical side of life; he learns Independencej.self-reLance and self-support. Many New York news boys have risen to positions of trust and h°nor in the world. Among prominent statesmen of the past who have been newsboys can be found distinguished name-; Daniel Manning, Silas Wright, John Kelly, and Thurlow Weed are among these? A dos men still a'ive, ex-Gover-nor Hill, prsent Senator for New York, ex-Governor Thomas Waller o 1 Connecticut, Lieutonaut-Governor W. F. Sheeban of New Yovk, ex-Senator M. C. Murphy of New >ork, Timothy Ji Campbell, and Timothy ‘Dry Dollar" Sullivan of the second district New York, are not the lea-t. Mr. L W. Halste, assistant trees urer of the Children’* Aid Society, in speaking of ex-Gov rnor Andrew H. Burke of North Dakota, says:‘lt isnow thirty-seven years since I took Governor Burke, with a number of boys from the nursery at Randall’s Island, and brought him to the Children’s Aid Society. It is remark ible that nearly all the children sent West in the particular company of which Governor Burke was a member, on Aug. 2, 1859, have not only done well, but have risen to places of distinction and trust. One is now cashier of the Citizen’s Bank of Indiana; another, after passing through Yale College, went as a missionary to Ala ka, where he has been appointed a commissioner; f-till another married a cousin of his employer, and is now a very successful Methodist minister.

FAMOUS NICKNAMES.

Frederick the Great was called Der Alte Fritz by his soldiers, the Philosopher of Sans Soucl by his friends, and the Monomaniac by his enemies. Thomas Hobbes, the philosopher, was called the Bear, on account of his ferocious manner and his habit of swearing on even the smallest provocation. David Garrick was the Stage Atlas, the English Roscius, Little Davy, the Proteus of the Stage and the Vain Tyrant, from his stage skill and presence.

Goethe, among many other nicknames, was the Man of Many Medals, in allusion to the decorations and orders bestoweu upon him by various Kings and Princes. Jean Sebastian Bach was called Father of Modern Piano ■ Music because his writings were largely for the piano, and he was the first to use the thumb In fingering. Gen. Grant was called Old Three Stars, In allusion to his symbols of rank; also, Uncle Sam Grant, Unconditional Surrender, United States, and United We Stand Grant Alexander the Great was denominated Macedonia’s Madman, because of his rashness. He was ever ready to attack, and disparity of numbers made no difference with him. John Adams was called the Colossus of Independence, because of his prominence in the debates and proceedings of the Continental Congress and Constitutional Convention. Lakman, an Arabian prllosopher, was called the Aesop of Arabia. He was a slave, ugly and deformed, but famous for his fables and wisdom. He is mentioned In the Koran. Disraeli was nicknamed Dizzy, from a contraction of his name; the Gay Lothario of Politics, from his facility In adapting himself to circumstances, and Vivian Grey from one of his novels.

We Have Room for Many More.

Have you any idea of the number of persons that the United States would sustain without overcrowding the population or even going beyond the limit of density now shown by the State of Rhode Island? The last census of the pigmy State just gives it a population of 397;500. The area of tlje State in square miles is only 1,250, thus we find that there is an average of 318 persons on every square mile of her territory. Scatter people all over the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Gulf to the British possessions as thickly as they are now in Rhode Island, and we would have 945,766,300 inhabitants, instead of an insignificant 62,000,000. In other words, if the United States could be peopled to their utmost sustaining capacity, we could take care of nearly two-thirds of the present population of the globe.

A fluctuation in prices at the seaboard is known the same day or hour in the remotest hamlet. The discredit or depreciation in the financial centers of any form of money in the hands of the people is a signal of immediate loss everywhere. If reckless discontent and wild ex-penme’-t should sweep our currency from its safe support the most defe iselees of all who suffer in that time of distress and national discredit will be the poor as they reckon the loss in their scanty support, and laborer or workingman as be sees the money he has received for his toil shrink and shrivel n his hand when he tend ers it tor the necessaries to suofily his humble home —Grover Cleveland.

The travelling secretary of the Uni v Association for th e Systematic Stndy of History, Prof. Brownlee, is now in the city in the interest of the Association. It is a good th ng. Historv, unlike higher mathematics and some bran *hes of science, is peculiarly adapted for home study. Professor Brownlee is organizing local associations in Northern Indiana, and the Sentinel nopes that one maybe formed in Rensselaer. The officers of the University Associatiu are:

This furnishes a sufficient guide to vent waste of time in the home reading. The plan is excellent and uo University in Am&rica can offer such a faculty of instruction in historv.

The local association elects own office-is, president, vie secretary and treasurer, and instructor. It meets weekly for recitation and investigation,"thus securing thoroughness and a free exchange of views.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

Uranus is really a gigantic world, more than sixty times as large as ours. Its vast distance, now about 1.700,000,000 miles from the earth, is what causes it to look so small. The white rhinoceros has become nearly, if not quite, extinct. There are two stuffed specimens in England and one in the Cape Town Museum. It is the largest species of the genus. Herschel calculated the total weight of the atmosphere at eleven and twothirds trillions of pounds; and yet with this inconceivably vast weight it is only one one-million two hundred thousandth of the weight of the earth Itself. Prof. Milton Whitney, of Johns Hopkins University, has determined that in an ordinary wheat soil there are at least ten thousand million soil grains in a gram (about a pint), and In some of the finest soil this number has reached twenty-four thousand millions. Fog is caused by the atmosphere being warmer than the earth. Warm strata of air meeting the cold earth are condensed and turn into fog. The principle is the same as that used in distilling, where the warm passes through cold water, condensing the steam from the mast and causing It to be precipitated as a liquid. An earthquake is not made up of blows at all. It Is a continuous series of intricate twistings and oscillations In all possible directions, up and down, east and west, north and south, of the Irregularity both in Intensity and direction. Frequently it is quite impossible to find among these any single Impulse at all adequate to do th® damage which Is actually observed. This damage Is not done by a blow. It is done by the combination of many small motions and twistings taking place in many directions.

GAVE AWAY HIS BIRTHDAY.

The Novelist Stevenson and a Little Girl in Vermont. A charming story of Robert Louis Stevenson sees the light now, it is believed, for the first time. He was visiting a friend, afterward consul to Samoa, In northern Vermont. This gentleman had a little daughter, about 11 years old, who very speedily became a devoted friend of the novelist In pouring forth her Joys and sorrows in existence, she confided to Mr. Stevenson the woeful fact that she was born on the 20th day of February, and, therefore had enjoyed only two birthdays In all her eleven years. The poet sympathized not only in comforting words, but also In action. He meditated a few seconds, then went to the writing desk orgl drew up the following document: “I, Robert Louis Stevenson, in a sound state of mind and body, having arrived at that age when I no longer have any use for birthdays, do give and bequeath my birthday, on the 18th of November, to Miss Adelaide Ide, to be hers from this year as long as she wishes it “ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON." The little girl’s delight at this rare and most welcome gift has shown its appreciation once a year through several years of birthdays, and low the anniversary will be doubly treasured.

A Gentle Rebuke.

When Senator Walthall, of Mississippi, who reappears in the Fifty-fourth Congress after an absence of two years, was in one of the back counties of Mississippi during the campaign of ’92 lie met.an ancient denizen of the back districts who was all powerful in ipolltics in that section. The old man welcomed the Senator vlith great cordiality, but there was a strange twinkle In his eye, as if he were thinking of something, and thinking very hard. After a little lie said: “Senator, before the war there used to be a young man down here wiio was one of the best talkers and one of the most brilliant young men the State of ississippi ever possessed. He became attorney of the State, and there seemed to be great promise before him. Everybody in the State thought great things were going to be done by young Walthall, and that he would make a national reputation. I think he ran for Congress or something of that sort, and then all of a sudden he dropped out of sight and nobody in this section of the State lias ever heard anything of him since. Was that young fellow a relative of yours?” The young fellow was Walthall himself, and the old denizen knew it, but this was the latter’s method of rebuking the Senator for inactivity at Washington.

Better than Law to Tom Corwin.

It is related that ma,ny years ago a wealthy merchant of Cincinnati desired to become a member of the bar. The court, hearing his application, appointed a committee to examine the candidate, naming as its Chairman Tom Corwin, then in the city. All adjourned under the trees at the side of the court house, and Mr. Corwin opened the examination with the customary question; do you know what law Is?” “No, Mr. Corwin,” answered the applicant, “I do not know what law is, but I know where we can get some good whisky.” He was duly admitted to practice.

Mining for Whisky.

An old steamer was sunk In the Missouri River at Elk Point, below Sioux City, before the }var. Included in the cargo were 100 barrels of whisky. The river has since shifted its channel, and the wreck is burled twentyfive feet under a sand-bar near the banks. Two young men recently .leased the site and have just sunk a shaft and reached the deck. They expect to have a choice lot of old whisky in a. few days.

CLEVELAND AND SILVER.

[lndianapolis Sentinel.] V e publish elsewhere a letter from an ! old friend who has returned to the fold | »ftor a digression iu 1894, which h explains to have been due to a belief that Mr. Cleveland was “try ng to force the party into a ein> legoid standard party." Unquestionably a great many honest democrat s were put inti a dissatisfied condition in the fame way, and it is not surprising, sot when w* find hundreds of men who rank as statesmen and hundreds of newspapers that are rated asab'e, who do not understand the rudimentary pi inciplea of the silver question, uo one can expect to find a satisfactory understand, ing of it among the. people at large. And yet there are a few fundamental principles which, if carefully kept in mind, wo tld dispel much of the common misunderstanding on this subject. Of these the first and most important is that this country was put upon a gold standard by law in 1873, and has been ou a gold standard ever since. It cannct by any possible legislation go to a g<dd stand aid any more than it now is, and hasbeei sii oe 1873. The only change it can make is to goto a silver standard or to a bimetallic standard. T ere is no possible half-way business about a standard.. It is absolute. The standard is the money by which all other money is measured, and in wuich all other money is ultimately redeemable. A second principle is that the demonetization of silver consisted in takiuv away its quality of being standard money. It makes no difference, as to demonstration,

how much of it is coined or to what extent it is a legal-tender, or whether it is used to redeem naper money, or whether it is forced into circulation, or any of the other things that silver nouometallistn have been getting excited about. As soon as it ceased to be standard money d was demonetized, and it cannot possibly be remonetized until it is again made standard money. Anyt ing less than that is mere child’s play, and nas no effect whatever on 'ho evilsof gold monometallism. Until silver is made standard money it remains token money, just like our nickel and cop er coins. The only reason it circulates on an equal value with gold is because the government ‘maintains the parity,” or, in other words, oonstnnlly redeems it in gold. The Sentinel would especially impress on its readers the fact that Mr. Cleveland is not a gold monometallist. No one oan point to* word he has said intimating that he is a gold monometallist. He is a bimettalist, but ho realizes th .t free colna eof silver bytnis country alone means silver monometallism, and not bimetallism. He understands that international action is necessary to Hecr re bimetallism, and to secure the fixed value of any kind of money. He understands that artificial efforts to bolster up silver must not only be unsuccessful, but must result in encouraging European countries iu adhering more firmly to the gold standard. Two years ago The Sentinel predicted that Mr. Cleveland would prove a better friend to silver than any American statesman living. He understood whst he Was doing. He has been acting in abso.ute accord with t e most intelligent bimetallists in this country. The proof is at hand. In two years he has made more impression on European sentiment than all t e makeshifts of the last twenty years had made. To-day we have the remarkable result of Germany, France and England all asking for an international congress for the re monetization of silver. In each country the movement is backed by organized political forces that are pushing forward both education and practical political work at a rapid pace. What more can you ask of the president's policy? Is it not at least woith while to stop and ask you. self if it is not possible that ho is right, and the Bryans, Blands, Joneses and Stewards wrong?

Women Kiss Each Otheb Now —“A vulgat display of mawkith affection* used to be the unkind comment that oame so often from kindly folk a. the sight of women kissing in public. ’Tie odd enough, but since her Majesty Queen Fashion ha t announced that she not only approve!, but recommend .kissing in public, > oone hears on any hand the old sneer at the affectionate demonstlation. 'Tin the fashion now to kiss one’s hostess when calling, to kiss one’s guests—women guests, of course—who airive tor an informal cup of the best Oriental brew or for a stately dinner-party. Give the salute lightly, like tht touch of a flutterfly’s wing, just in the center of the cheek; give it ihe sound of swaving silk draperies or falling rose p tale, holding one hand of the woman iou kiss. Only ealute relatives on the lips; older women kissyouitg girls on the brow. On the street it is perfectly proper to kiss a woman t' roufh your veil; or very prettily the kiss is given by lifting the gauze a bit and pressing a li tie kiss on y ’>ur companion’s chin, just below her lip.—From ‘‘Soci iyFads,” in Demorest's Magaz ne for Msy.

An insidious attempt is made to create a prejudice against the advoc tes of a safe and sound curr ncy by the insinuation, mor<- or iess directly made, that they b - long to financial and business classes and are. therefore, not only >ut of sympathy with the common people of the land, but for selfish and wicked purposes are willing to sacrifice the interests of those outsidv their circle. I believe that capital and wealth, through combination and other means, sometimes gain an undue advantage; and it must be conceded that the maintenance of a sound currency may, in a sense, be invested with a greater or less importance to individuals according to their condition and circumstancs. It is, however, only a differ* ence 11 degree, it is utterly impossible that any one in our broad lam , rich or poor, whatever may be his occupation and whether dwelling in acentreof finance and commerce, or in a remote- corner of our domain,Jean beireally ban?fited by a financial schema, not alike beneficial to all oar people, or that any one should bo excluded from a common and universal interest in the safe character and stal l value of the currency of the country.—Grover Cleveland.

Make our dollars equal in valne. Mr. Cleveland is a bimetallist. — He states his position candidly and fairly, and simply isks that the people consider camly the siti nation and not act with haste. We frequently hear the ‘green, back’ spoken as the best money we ever had, and yet many will remember the time when one gold dollar would buy more goods than $3 50 in greer backs. Free and unlimited coinage of silver is the demand of the silver mine owners and speculators. Just how the country at large will be benefited by the government mak* ing, free of charge, a dollar out of every 40 or 50 cents worth of sil* ver these fellows may control, is beyond our ken. Rev.
