SMANTHYJf*

Three miles away, by the road I had come, but appearing to lie almost at my feet down in the valley of Salt creek, was Georgetown, the only village in Indiana populated by gold miners. Nor are they miners, in a strict nse of the term, as their labor consists only of washing tho yellow dust from the beds of sand along the creek, where, according to one of tisose wonderful stories which geologists tell, it was dropped by a melting glacier from the far north.

But, however its presence may bo accounted for, there is a very light sprinkling of gold dust through the sand along the "crick" just at this point, and a score •or more of slow moving men, by close Industry and tedious washing and sifting, continue to maintain a laborious existence. The rockless extravagance and lucky "finds" which have been associated with the richer mining of our western states are lacking here, and there is elmply and without exception heavy labor with its meager returns. Even the unScempt farmer who 'tends his "craps" Along the rocky hillsides of the surrounding country has a better opportunity towrest a competency from the soil than /lias the "gold digger."

As I stood half way up tho ragged •brush grown hill, the valley below was in shadow, and tho windings of the "crick," from bluff to bluff of its restricted bottoms, appeared plain and white away to the north, where a jutting promontory closed the view. Agriculture has made light Inroads on the heavy growth of timber which hides tho angles and ravines of the earth's warm bosom. Here and there an irregular "claim." inclosed by a rudo brush fence, showed like an ugly patch on the green mantle. "I reckin you don't see many likelier sections o' kentry than that thar, stranger?" .The speaker had come down the hill unnoticed, as I Btood looking at the wild landscape and tho beautiful touches of •ccftor which tho sun was laying, with lavish generosity, upon the highest of the •dark, uplifted masses opposite me. "It suroly is a sight worth coming far to see," was my scarcely candid reply.

"After that it seemed like she 'uz sort o' stupid, an' nothin' Cajer n'r any o' the neighbors could do 'ud xnake her chirk up. She jes' sot there quiet, an' never said nothin' hardly, an' every day when the sun *uz a-shlnin' she'd hev one o' the children lead her down to the rock by the spring, an' then she'd turn her face up to'rds this hili like she 'uz a-tryin' to see the yeller light on the trees an' rocks up hyar. pit "I reckin her a-grievin' an' a sotfrowin' that way sort o' changed her, fer she got to be like a child agin.

She thinks nothin' 'ud be done if it warn't fer her, an' the rest o' 'em, they don't say nothin' to contrairy her. She scrapes the taters, an' strings the beans, an' ever'thin' o' that kind, an then'after she gits done one o' tho children takes 'em an' goes away whar she can't hear, an' fixes them all over agin, fer not bein' able to see, she can't do it right.

It makes a feller 'eel kind o' curus in the throat to see Cajer huntin' around in the woods fer flowers fer Smanthy to hold iu her hand an' smell of, 'cause he don't keer nothin' for sech things, an' 'ud a heap ruther bo a-workln' In the clarin'.

The Playground and tho School.

Two generations of flabby muscles will obliterato intellectual superiority and courage. One generation will impair it. Of course, tho influence of either parent may be peculiarly adverse, and this may account for the more remarkable cases of degeneracy. Take the case, then, of an exceptional Intellect In a weak body. It is the fruit of physical energy in parents and it is the end unless that weak youth is strengthened by regular physical exercise. Tne application of these truths is first of all to the public schools, and it has been shown by positive experiment that children playing four hours and studying four hours make more progress than children studying eight hour. Mr. Chadwick, in Eingland, has even taken factory children and taught them four hours a day and worked them four hours, and has shown that they excelled scholars kept at study eight hours.

Practical recommendations, therefore, arc that each school should have a playground and gymnasium, so that the children can take dally exercise Indoors or out. as the weather may determine that for each hour of study there should be an hour of vigorous physical exercise that teachers should understand how exercise must be taken and that among teachers at least half should be selected for physical combined with mental and moral qualifications.—Galveston

ALWAYS GROWING.

1 bold tMe ue- whoever wine Jlaa's highest stature here below, Must grow and never eeeeo to grow— War whra growth oeaaes death begins. —Alice Cerqf.

UNDER SURVEILLANCE.

One evening In April three yean ago found me standing on the pavement to front of the Euston Square station in London. 1 had crossed the ocean like any other tourist, simply to see the great dty of the world.

The next morning I started ont on a voyage of exploration. Chance led me to cross London bridge. A gang of laborers was repairing the roadway, and when 1 asked a bystander what the trouble wms, he moodily answered with one weed, "dynamite."

That same afternoon I went to the South Kensington museum. Signs were posted up at every entrance to the effect that nobody carrying a bag or parcel would be admitted. Corridors and exhibition chambers were patrolled by stalwart policemen, who closely watched the visitors. Wishing to see some models of railroad machinery, I happened to ask an officer their whereabouts. In doing so I nnoonsdously made use of an American idiom of speech. From that moment I was a marked man.

In whatever hall I wandered 1 could see a policeman's eye fixed upon me. Once I strolled in among a collection of antique engines and boilers. When I had finished my inspection and had left the chamber I saw, through the glass partition, a big officer carefully go over tne path 1 had takenr cautiously open the boiler doors, stick his head into the furnaces and poke among the machinery with his staff.

Oh, I knew what be was looking for, and the blood rushed rapidly to my cheek What if an explosion should really occur while I was in the building? There was hardly any more evidence against Cunningham and Burton, since hanged for the Tower mystery and then confined in Newgate.

I thought of this, and it made me a sorry specimen of a tourist. Every time I heard a littlo noise a shudder ran up my spine. I was afraid to le*ave the museum in precipitation lest I might be arrested as a suspicious character. And the more I brooded ovor my danger the more nervous I became, till my knees fairly tottered with anguish of spirit. Every policeman, I fancied, was looking sternly at me. as much as to say, "Ah. ha! me covey, you can't play any of your little games on us."

At length I managed to totter out of the establishment more dead than alive, when some strange attraction drew me beside a gentleman from Chicago, whose face told me that he had gone through a similar ordeaL

Dynamite was the theme of conversa tion in hotel, coffee houso, railway carriage—in fact, everywhere.

The Tower, the monument and British museum had all been closed to the public and vigilant watch kept upon them day and night. At all the big railroad stations policemen patrolled the platforms and were stationed in the baggage rooms. For a traveler to carry a valise or parcel on the underground line made him the victim of all sorts of police surveillance. A detective employed by this company assured me that over 2,000 spies, both government and special officers, had been employed at that time to guard the inner and outer circles of the road.

It was a stirring time when London trembled with fear and the police deteo. tivo saw glory and promotion above the gibbet of the suspect.

I had been commissioned to carry a message from America of a purely social nature to Mr. Thomas P. O'Connor, one of the Irish members of parliament. One evening about a week before I left London I called upon that gentleman at his chambers in tne parliament mansions, off of Victoria street, Westminster. After a pleasant chat, of perhaps an hour^ I departed.

When I emerged upon Victoria street 1 noticed a middle agea man who 1 saw at once was watching my actions. I hurried along up past the houses of parliament and turned off near tho Charing Cross station, on to the Thames embankment. When I looked back after a short time I saw that the man was following. I quickened my pace until I reached Blackfriars' bridge, when I walked over to the Lud-

KiverHill

te station of tho Chatham pnd railway, as I had promised myself a trip to the Crystal Palace that night. I purchased a ticket to Sydenham, and, just as the train drew in to the platform, my pursuer came up stairs and entered a compartment of the same carriage in which I was seated.

When I alighted with the crowd and entered the grounds of the Crystal Palace, I fancied that I had got the best of the gen tleman. But judge of my surprise when about midnight, as I returned to the railway station. I saw him languidly strolling to and fro upon the platform. I felt angry. But what could I do? If 1 had accused him of tracking me he would no doubt Indignantly have informed mo that he had as much right to visit the Crystal Palace as I had. Bnt I would now give him a dose to remember mo by. I was then stopping at Forest Gate, a suburb away off at tho other side of London, and I determined to walk homo. Years of journalistic work in New York had made me a good pedestrian. So off I started with the strange man behind me.

I gained the Dulwich road, which was completely deserted. and dark with the shaaow of overhanging boughs, and struck ont for glory. Mile after mile I covered, till Ilerne Hill, Tulse Hill and Denmark

Hill were left behind and the

more thickly settled region of Camberwell became visible in the moonlight. Still the man followed.

wagon that rumbled slowly down the Rumford road. Then off again 1 started past Maryland Point, until the red signal lights outside the Forest Gate railway shone out through the haze of the rapidly approaching dawn. When I mounted the stoop of my residence the man suddenly appeared at the corner of the avenue: 1 bowed sarcastically to him. but. without a sign of recognition, he turned upon his heel and disappeared. I had got square with him anyway. Then I entered the house and went up stairs to bed.

Five days later 1 stood upon the deck of the steamship City of Berlin, which was lying in the Mersey, off Birkenhead. The passengers were" all aboard, and an hour would find us steaming down the channel, with New Brighton on the lee. 1 had deposited the good sized portmanteau which I carried in the little room assigned me. and was standing beneath an awning near the mizzenhatch conversing with Chief Officer Charles Robinson, when some one tapped me upon the shoulder.

I turned, to behold a man attired in a tall hat. a fashionable light suit, with a massive gold chain hiding the expanse of a white silk vest. "I would like to see you for a moment." be* said, pleasantly.

I followed him aft to the taffrail, where he halted. "Now," said he, in a very different tone of voice, "I would like to know who is accompanying you to America?" "No one," 1 replied, promptly. "•'Are you sure." he went on sternly, "that you have no friend on board here— some one whom you are trying to smuggle out of England?' "No," I retorted simply. "I have not." "What made you act so suspiciously in London?" continued the gentleman. "In what way?" 1 asked with a sudden start. I could feel my blood growing cold. "Do you remember the night you went to Westminster—to the parliament mansions?" 1 must confess that I experienced a feeling of awe at that moment for the English police department. "1 presume." I said, with a little laugh, "that you mistake mo for a dynamiter. But had you been as careful in looking up my good qualities you would have ascertained that I simply came to England to visit relatives ana enjoy myself."

Then the gentleman grew very pleasant again and imparted to me in strict confidence the opinion of a certain London detective that I was a great pedestrian. He even went so far as to point out the various places of interest on the Birkenhead 3hore. until at last he suddenly excused himself for a moment, he said.

That was the last I saw of him. As the tender steamed off simultaneously with the disappearance I supposed he was one of its passengers. But now for the strange Incident.

When I awoke next morning I found Queenstown harbor fading in the distance. A brisk wind was blowing and I suddenly remembered a cloth helmet which 1 had purchased In London to wear during tho trip across. I ran down to my cabin and opened the portmanteau. But where was the cloth helmet? I distinctly remembered to have packed it away on top of my clothing just before leaving Forest Gate, so that It would be at hand when 1 needed it. After removing a few articles I found it wedged up on one side of the portmanteau But how did it get there? Everything was disarranged. This was not the way 1 had packed up my things before leaving London.

I saw it all now! While that detective had kept me engaged in conversation, as the City of Berlin was lying in tho Mersey, others had gone down into my room and overhauled the contents of my valise. They had hoped to find some eviaence to confirm the suspicion which a foolish whim of mine had caused to be cast upon me.

At the last moment they had thrown a web about me—a, web which would have drawn the guilty to tho scaffold.—Philadelphia Press. BEA3D THE KBXT *W

Production of **Old Maeters." There is no doubt that In London, Paris and elserfhere fraudulent pictures are produced systematically and on an extensive scale. One of our daily contemnoraries, dealing with this subject lately, asserts that half the old masters which go to America are painted in Paris. These manufactured pictures are not really the work of any one man. but |re made tu of that of several. Forexamjble, one artist will paint tho sky. a second the trees, a will paint tho sky, a second the trees, a third the foreground and va fourth the water, another will do the igures or cattle. and so on, according tc^ the specialties of the different men. Indeed, the division of labor is curled on lq making this olayi of picture as in any othir manufacture. It is not to say that b&ause a picture is built up of several potato's labor that it is necessarily bad as a *rk of art, but it is certainly a fraud upto the purchaser if it is sold as the worMof art of one of the old masters.—British fournal of Photography.

Heed of a TeehmieaX School. When the Pittsburg father of a bright boy wishee to make of the lad a man skilled in mechanical matters, a mechanical engineer competent to be his father's right hand man in the big workshop or factory or mill, the boy must be sent 500 miles from home to receive the education desired. This busy, industrial dty is full of men with muscles and eyes trained to mechanical work. But their knowledge is superficial and their brains have not been developed as have their muscles and their eyes. They can carry out but not evolve mechanical ideas. That power must be conferred by institutions way off at Troy, at Boston, or at New York. There is not even a good industrial school in Pittsburg, a place where the sons of mill owners can acquire practical knowledge of the processes which in after life he will be called upon to superintend, or be set down as knowing less than the cheapest mechanic in his employ. There are bright boys whose fathers do not care, for many reasons, to send them to a distant institution. The alternative is to let him go right out among the workmen, and there plant his feet firmly upon the lower rounds of the ladder leading to mechanical expertnees.

Ono such boy, a few months ago, determined to obtain a practical mechanical education, and was encouraged by his father in so doing, and his first week's experience was among colored workers in a steel mill. He is now foreman of one department. Most boys would find this a debasing companionship, and most fathers would find it impossible to permit a son to acquire information in such a way. Meanwhile, home institutions teach boys everything cxcopt practical knowledge of their father's business. They can, leaving adjacent colleges, boast of thorough knowledge of the dead languages, but they do not know the difference between cruciblo and Bessemer steel, and to design an improved furnace or bit of machinery would be harder for them than tho integral calculus. The founder of a school of technology in Pittsburg would roar unto himself abetter monument than if ho gave a costly library building to each city.—Chicago Bulletin. .i'j&i

Louisiana'* Queer Ponds

"I do not understand the lakes or ponds," said Mr. Ely. "Wo have passed today at least a thousand, I think, from three feet to threo miles in diameter, and all almost perfectly circular. The water in them, too, is live and sparkling, as if from springs, not stagnant. How do you account for their shape? Look at the one we are passing No surveyor could lay out a more perfect ring." "The Acadians have many superstitious reasons for their shape," the priest said, smiling. "They wero worn by the accursed Voudoo dances, or they wero the places where human beings were sacrificed in ancient times. Some of the fermiers will tell you that when two bulls fight they tear up a round hole with their horns and fore hoofs, into which tho water oozes, enlarging it year by year, but still keeping tho circular shape. It is a singular fact, though, that in the next parish there aro mounds of every size, exactly corresponding in shape to tho ponds hero." "How do you account for themF

Pere Nedaud shrugged his shoulders. "How should I know? There are many hints of other days, before ovon the Indians came to Attakapa8—many mysteries. Science cannot explain them. Me?—I do not meddle with them."—Rebecca Harding Davis in Harper's Magazine.
