Twenty years ago a new postmaster in New York City wonld have the jkiw- er to appoint 3000 snlmrdioatcs, while now tbere are bot tn-o positions not covered by the civil service rnles.

The project of turning Brnssels, Belgiom, into a seaport seems to have ¦et tbe oititens almost crazy. The mu- nioipal oonncil has passed a resolution for tha eoBStmotion of a huge electrio li(hihons« in the centre of the city, on ihe Place de Bronckers, to servo ns n beacon to ocean steamers, as well as an ornament to the city.
New Tork City is to have a now Academy of Design, to be erected on tbe Boulevard near the tomb of Oen¬ eral Orant, tbe Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and the new University ot Columbia, and will add another to the magnificent group of buildings tbat is Dow rising on the west side of tbe city between Central Park and tbe Hudsou Biver.   ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tbe Louisville Courier-Journal says: Viewed from nearly every staudpolut the outlook for tbe farmer is becoming more encouraging. We have divine assurance that seed time and harvest shall not fail, and if our crops do uot continue in over-abundance wo are anre of enough and to spare. Tbo misfortunes of India and of tbe Le¬ vant will inure to our benefit. Un¬ questionably a better day seems dawn¬ ing for onr groat agricnltural interests.
Mr. Oermain, United Blat«8 Consul at Zurich, Switzerland, reports that within a yaar tbe price of aluminum will fall to about twenty-seven cents a ponnd, so that only three commorcial metals—iron, lead and zinc—will be cheaper. Last year the output of aluminum, owing to its comparatively high price, was 14,7-10 pounds daily, of which 4103 ponnds daily were pro¬ duced in the United States, This year the plants will be increased to bring the daily product up to 4'J,4GU pounds.
Ignatius Donnelly says the great floods are caused by sun s;HitH. Why the sun spots, which must exercise en •qnal influence ou the eutire circuit of tha globe every twenty-four hours, sbonld cause the Mississippi to burst its ban^s and leave tbeBhine, Danube or Volga practically undisturbed, mny not be very clear. Bnt sinco Mr. Donnelly has said it, it is evident the planting forests or building levees on a broader plan is of no use. Tho ouly way to cure the floods, suggests the New Orleans Picayune, is to knock tbe ipota off tbe sun.
A itory was receutly started hjr Ihe j newspapers, relates  the Trenton   (N.  | J.) American, tp the eifeet   that Mrs.  | Cleveland had melted tli.; spoons in Ibe ! White House which had lieeii useil by i Dolly Madison and had had ilie silver made int»i prettier spoons.      The story ¦ was a circumstaiitiul one, going ou at ] much length  to state thai  the silver¬ smith had offered tbeir weight in (inlil for  the  spoons, but   tbat   Mrs.   I'leve    ¦ land rejected the offer, sent the sjuions i to the mint, had them melted  into in- gota, and then required an afiidtvit of tbe ailveramith that the same silver was put into the new spoons.  Il is seareely necessary  to  say that   the story was made out of the wbole cloth.     It was promptly denied  at the Wliite House. and the declaration was made thai Ihe Dolly Madison spoons are still there. The denial baa not kept paee, howerer, with the origiual   story, whieh  is still going the rounds of the press.

Melton lighted the kitchen lamp and set it in the middle of tbe ta¬ ble.
"We might as well    bnve    sup¬ per, "  she    said. "Your     father prob'ly won't be back till late."
Fred and Polly drew up their chairs, and Oraudmother Melton brought a steaming bowl of mush from the stove aud dished it into two smaller bowls, "I'm as hungry as a liear," observed Fred, between moiithfuls. "I think it's A shame we have to go so far to sehiiol. There isn't a single boy or girl in Spriiigville that has to go half so fav as we do."
"I dou't see why father doesn't move down there," complained PoU.v, pouring more of tbe rich yellow milk over her mush; "be could get to his work just as well, and it would be ever so much pleasanter than this lonesome place. "
"You must remember that your father isn't a rich man," answered Oranilinother Melton, gently, "Ha owns this cottage, and if he moved be would have to rent another home, and perhaps he couldn't sell this one."
The Meltons had ouly been in their now borne since the summer before. Both Fred ond Polly had enjoyed it very much indeed during the pleasant warm weather of August and Septem¬ ber. Then the wide, swift Mississippi had gleamed through the willows, and there bad beeu unlimited boating and swimming and fishing. But with the coining of winter the roads choked full of snow and ioe, and tho winds swept up Ihe river sharp and cold, and it was a dreary, lonesome walk of four miles to school at Hpringville. As the win¬ ter progressed they had complained more and more, and now for a week, owing to the spring freshets, Polly bad beeu unable to go nt all, and Fred was cnmpelled to make a loug detour over t:ie bluffs to avoid the lagoons in tbe i'iver bottoms.
"They'll all get ahead of rae," Polly had sobbed; "aud I cau't pass my ox- aiiiiiiationH."
That morning Father Melton Imd gone np tbe river to belp watch the levees. Reports bad been eonling from St. I'nul, SI. Louis, Cairo and other points fortlier up the great river that the water wns rising rapidly. Tbe levees must bo watched night and day to jirevent breaks. On lenving his homo that moruing Mr. Mellon had told Fred that he would be back before dark, and that there was no danger to fear from tho wator. All his neighbors had told him that his cotlage was high enough to be safe, even in the greatest floods.
"It's after!) o'clock now," snid Polly, as she arose from tho table; "I won¬ der where father in'!"
"I'd go out and watch for bim if it wasn't raining so hard," said Fred, and then he liMiked around toward tbe diiorway, anxiously.
He caught his breath suddenly. Theu he half rose from Ihe table and IMiiiited at the floor. (trnndmother Melt«ii drnpped her fork noisily ou ber plate and ber eyes followed the direc¬ tion indicated by Fred's linger. Polly sat still and gazed at tbe other two, wondering what il all meant.
There on tho floor, crawling from the crack uuder the door, was a dark wriggling objeet. At flrst Fred had taken il to be oue of the swamp rattlers so common to the Mississippi iHittoms, aud his first impulse was to spring for his father's rifle which stood in the corner,
"It's the flood," said Oranduiother Mellon when she could get her breath.
Hy this^ time the block ribbou of water was spreading, flipping into the cracks and creeping out over the floor toward the table. Polly broke into a ery of terrnr. Even Oraudniolber Mellon   seemuil uni-ertaiu wlint to  dn.
Fred suddenly roused himself. He renieiiibered that lie was tbe man of the house, and that be must watch over and prntecl it in bis father's ab- seiii-e. So lie sprung fnnn bis seat and threw opeu the door, not witlumt a thrill, llf fi-ar It wns dark outsiile. nud the lain i-aine dnwn in Uirreiiti~. Curling up over llie step they eould see the muddy water, and they could bear the snuuil of it slapping agaiusi the house. It streti-lieil away into the darkness Ul all direi-tiniis as far as Fred i-siuld seo. He knew that already it must bo a foot or more high around the liiiiise.
"The levee'a broken, " said Polly. I in ft s,-nreil. awed vmee. "Do vuu! tbiuK well lie washed away'^ ' '       j

Oraudnii'ther     Melton    waited    nn liinir<-r    She crept up tbe narrow stair¬ way t.i the little atlie     Fred rau to the ' i-uplL-anl and  began   filling   Ins arms ' with dishes of fivid. nhile Polly in her I exi-ilenienl sei/e.l   the  first thing that came 1,1 hand —irranibunthers rlK•kln^' chair    and    struggled    up   the    stairs . with  It j

up here," suggested Graudinother Melton.
Fred tixiked up. The ceiling was low, nnd just nlmve hlni there had been au uld trn|i-door, now nniled up. In¬ stantly Fred seized the n\ and burst it open, Above they eould see the dnik sky nud the rain i-ouiiiig down in steady torrents. Fred piled a trunk on top of the table nud climbed oul ou the roof.
Ho couldn't see far. but be could hear Ihe roaring of the waler from every direcliun. His heart sunk; be felt sure thnt they would all be drow-ued. Suddenly        something
thumped heavily agaiusi the side of the liuildiug, and the next instant tbe front end of tlie room went up aud grandmother and Polly slipped down toward the renr eud. Fred narrowly escaiied beiug hurled off Ihn roof.
"We're goingi We're going!" screamed Polly.
"We're just off the foundation," an¬ swered Fred, ns bravely ns ho could.
Then he swung back down into the bedroom and helped Oraudmother Melton and Polly uji through the trap¬ door to the roof. He covered them up as well ns he could and told them to cling to the ridgepole whatever might happen. Then he ran dowu for a coil of clothesline. Thia ho tied firmly tn tho window nt ono end nf tbe bedroom, corried Ibe otber end nji through the trapdoor, along the roof nnd dropped it over the eaves. Down he went again And fastened it to tho other window frame." It would do to bold to. Hardly had ha finished his work whon the building gave nnotber great lurch, "Hold on!" shouted Fred. The words were hardly out of his month wheu he found himself thrown violently frnm bis feet. He couglit a glimpse of Ihe water pouring np tho stairway, and then tho lamp was cap¬ sized aud went ¦ out. Next he fonnd himself pounding about in the water. "Fred! Fred!" came tho agonized voice of Polly.
"Here I nml" spluttered Fred. In falling he had caught Ihe edge of tho trapdoor and I'oUv helped him to Ihe roof.
"We hnd   all  we could  do to hold on," gasped Oi-nudinnther Melton. "We're muviug," sbouled Polly. They    rocked     nud     scraped   aud bumped alnng, with the water sw irliug aud crashing nround theiu.
"It's onr lirst voyage," soid Fred, with an effort to laugh; ")i'rnp.s we'll wind up in Ibe (iiilf of Mexico."
But Polly didiit laugh, neither did Ornuilmotber Melton.
A few minutes later tbey heard .some one shouting far ont on the streniu nud they snw Ihe glimmer of a Inntern. Tbey shouted iu return, but there was no answer, and presently the lantern was swallowed up iu tbe darkness aud tbo three castaways were even more lonesome and terrified than before.
They were compelled to cling firmly to the rope and the ridgeiKilo all the lime, for the bouse was continually bunipiug against nbstrui-lions in the stream and esreeniug nud jolting like a bout ill a rniigli sen. Hesides this, tbey were wet tn the skin nud shiver¬ ing with colli and fright. Oeeasioiially huge fnrins wnuld loom up near them, and tbey would see the outline of trees or buildings floating down the river. They were iiiomeutarily afraid lest their boat should bump into something and be brnken up. If this Iiap|iened they kuew they wnuld have small hope of escape.
Quite suddenly they felt the build¬ ing grind on something, and theu, with a jolt, it come t.i a standstill. Tbey could bear tbe timbers strain and creak and the current of the stream splashing aboul it, but it did unt move.
"Well, we're anchored." snid Fred. "I suppose we're ont somewhere on a sandbar in Ibe Mississippi."
"Do you think we hare reached Memphis?" nsked^Polly, anxinusly.
To Polly it seemed as if they bad beeu drifting fnr hours.
Fnr a lung time thev remained al¬ must still.       I) isinnaily  they joined
iheir vnii-es in a grent shout, but there was no answi-r Fred said the water roared so Inu.I that nn one i-ould henr It. anyway, but it eased their spirits to be lining somelliing.
At last tbey started a.cain with a jerk and a shiver, as if sniiie nf the timbers n( tbe liiiilding hnd given nwny. Tbey buinpcil nil for wlial sceinod an endless time, nnd then, after si-rnping along for some minutes, they agnin stniiped. lly tbis liiue the rain ba.l. i-ensed and the uinon shone nut fniutlv thr.iugh the i-loiids.
"Tlieres lights." cried Pollv. jnv- fully.
Snre eiinugli. mi the hill, nnt such a greut ilistaiii-e away, they could see many lighls gli-auiing oul over the «at«-r Ni-arer, there were otber lights mnviug alsiiit, on if in Imats.

After the flood was subsided tbo Meltons went duw-n to look over their home. Fother Melton hardly knew whot to do, bnt Polly spoke up qnite promptly.
"I tell yon, fother, let's leave it right here and live in it; Fred nnd I won't have so fnr to go to school."
Aud what dn ynu think? Tl.e.t in jnst wbat Father Melton did. H ¦ straightened the house around, built o uew fouudntion nnder it, nnd the Mel¬ tons nre livi:;g there todoy, quite hap¬ py and contented. So you see the flood helped two persons at leost — Polly and Freii. —Chicago llecord.

Iu St. Nicholas Franh H, Spearman lias rt paper entitled "A Shifting Boundary," which i4 particularly timely just at preseut, as it tells of tb© way the Missonri Kiv>>r has of smb deuly changing its bouudnrics. Mr. •Speariiion says;
Of course you've henrd of the cnri- iiua freohs of the Missouri Hiver—the "Big Muddy:" how the suddeu, treaeh- erous uiouutHiu waters roll down iu mighty floods from Montana aud Wyoming, ricochet from side to side of the broail volley they hove eateu deep iuto the soft prairies, and pour bead- long into the Missi.ssippi near St. Louis; lloW, night nnd day, winter and sum¬ mer, the twisting torrent shifts its chnunel, cuts ita banks, nndermiuea railronds, n-t'inishes tbo muskrnta, keeps tho fish studying guide-posts, worries the bridge gnnrds, and sets tha farmers ernzy. For, just think of it; the Nebrosko farmer whose loud stroti-bes along the river goes to bed thinking ho will cut his brood acresof goldeu wheat in the morning; bnt lol in tho n'ghi Mii<t madcap river boa en¬ tered his waving fields, and the like snow- they have melted away. Otain, fences, trees, buildings, laud—are gone! Aud a great, sullen, yellow flood boils and eddies whero his harvest smiled yesterday.
Next week, very likely, tbe reckless Rtroam will make his neighbor acroas the river a present of a hundred or moro acres, just because ho dqesu't need thcui. Of course It was natural for 0 man who lofit his lond thnt way to look longingly across Ihe river, and think, after o w-hile, that the newly made land over there belonged to him; and mauy a wearisome lawsuit hns begun to recover lille to "made" land which lies, maybe, exactly where tho lost farm lay, but on the otber side of the river. Perhaps there is some equity in such a claim; but the troublo is, that sort of thing is going on all the time, nud the courts snid they couldn't keep track of such pranks; thnt londs acquired by accretion—mark that word —should belong to the farmer who owned the river-bank where they were thrown np; thnt if the river look your farm, you would have to fish it ont of Ihe stream ynu lost it iu; nt least, you needn't ask the courts to give you an¬ other for it.
