COMPULSORY EDUCATtoN.-Mr. GLADSTONE

letter on the subject of compulsory educa-
ZION, in which he states, with regard 70 the

always le;IBed very much TO a scheme the
main point of which was that il should be
made penal 70 employ for wages persons be-

plan OF this kind was prematurely proposed

Prom Leayenwortn Commercial, 10TH
During last "Wednesday night three trains
arrived NJ Junction Cey- which were block
aded u hours IN a snow bank, six miles east Of
Namego. The train which had on board the
2UO Methodist ministers, we understand, was
so located as not TO admit OF any egress where
by they might obtain something 10 eat, and
there was nothing aboard the train bat a hog
and seventy dozen eggs. A wicked wag sug-
gests that, in devourlng the eggs, they We're
getting as near chickens as was possible.
Rev. n. Fisher, writing TO a Lawrence paper
says:-Beans, pork without salt, ana eggs
Were the only diet we had for the whole party
a colorec girl became cook, with one skIliet
and shovel for pans. We commenced 10 pre-
pare for supper, which was discussed with
much less criticism than If served at home.
The passengers appeared 10 enjoy the situation,
by various pleasant recItals OF incidents and
anecdotes, among others the folio wing.
General Fisher stated that after has return
from the explosion Of White river he was

soldier stepped up and requested the General
10 read his letter. The General broke the seal
and commenced TO read-first, about temporal
affairs; then referred 10 a quarterly meeting

the absent one very ardenty; she closed.her

THE "oLDEsT INnABlTANT." ."-The oldest
man in Allegany county, Md, doubtless, is
Mr. Henry Lewis, living in Accident dis
'ficl. Mr.. Lewis was born in Hanover on
lAe s9d of August, 1865, and is now lOs
years of age. His father lived 10 the age OF
lOB years and six months, and his mother to
Tie age Of 100 years. He came to this coun'
.ry in 1922, he has never been sick day in
n's life, has no gray hairs, except few
scattered through his beard, and performs a
lull days wo k cnch day in clearing his

CANARY BIRDs.-Parasites arc among the
most deadly enemies of canary birds, gold
finches and other household pets. Many
people have observed bird in state OF eX-
citement and anxiety, plucking at himself
continually, his feathers standing all wrong.
In vain is his food changed, and in vain is
another saucer of clean water always kept
in his cage, and all that kindness can suggest
for the little prisoner done, but still all is of
no use; he is no better, because the cause of
his wretchedness has not been found out.
If the owner of pet in such difficulties will
take down the cage and look up TO the root,
there will most likely be seen mass of stuff
looking as much like red rust as anything,
and thence comes the cause of the poor
birds uneasiness. The red rust consists OF
myriads of parasites ipfesting the bird, and
ior which water is no remedy BY procur-
ing a lighted candle, and holding it under
every particle of the top of the cage till all
chance of anything being left alive is gone,
the remedy is complete. The pet will soon
brighten up again after his "house-warm-
ing;'' and will, in his cheerful and delight
full way, thank his master or mistress for
this important assistance.

A JAPHET IN SEARCH OF A FATHER-A
romantic story IS told of man In Newark,
N. j., who is searching for his father, who
he has not seen tor thirty years, and of
whose existence he was ignorant until few
weeks ago. II appears that when mere
lad, this mans father gave him in charge of
a neighbor, whose name the child took, and
the families separating, he grew up suppos
ing his guardian was his father The latter
remained poor, but in the meantime the
bows father became rich This fact the son
did not know until recently, when clergy
man who was familiar with the facts visited
Newark, and told the story. The son went
TO New York and saw his two brothers, who
declined to give him the address of their
father, saying that the excitement attendant
upon a recognition would surely cause his
death. 1t is believed that their motives are
purely mercenary, and that they are afraid
tha property will he divided into shares
instead ol halves, should the third son be
acknowledged. Itis a curious family history.

A RToT CAUSED ny SUPERsTITIoN.-A
riot, originating in m extraordinary super
slition occurred at Myross, Qreland,) in
the west of county Cork, few days since.
A hody, supposed to be that of the captain
Of an American ship lost on the western
coast, was washed ashore near Myross some
Tine since, and after an inquest had been
held, was inferred III Myross church yard.
Friends of the drowned sailor came recently
10 Myross 10 claim the remains, and to carry
them back TO the United States for inter
ment in the burial ground where others OF
the deeeased's family rested. When 1t be-
came known that the body was to be re-
moved, there was great perturbation amongst
the country people, who have supersiitious
belief that the exhumation of a corpse which
has been buried for some time causes un-
usually great mortality during the ensuing
twelve m0nths-one of those extraordinary
notions deep rooted in the popular mind
which defy human ingenuity 10 analyse OF
explain.
To prevent the threatened calamity, the
country people resolved 10 oppose the re-
moyal by force. On the morning on which
The exhumation was to take place, the popu'
aon of the district armed with the mis-
Cellaneous weapons that the farm yard af
lords, rose en- masse against the strangers
and drove them and their assistants out o
the graveyard. The parish priest was ap
pealed 10, and slrovc TO reason the people
out of their absurd apprehensions; but hi
influence, all-powerIul in everything else
failed 10 make an impression on their super
slitious fears. The people still refuse T.
permit the body to be removed, and noun
guard day and night over the grave. Th
friends of the deceased are determined nc
oNllow their pious mission to be Illustrate
by popular superstition, and it is state
That the aid of the military will be called !
II other influence cannot induce the peopl
to desist from their cruel and nsensible ol
position to the removal Of the hody.--Co'
Examiner.

the room in which she dwelt, and then in
serted a funnel over il and commenced pour
ing water upon her devoted head, with the
intention Of filling the room and forcing her

A DIsAFPoINTED WoMAN.-A few months
lose his wife, literary lady of some reputa-
tion. After grieying for number of weeks
a bright idea entered the head of the widow
er. Hcthought that he could do something
TO lessen his sorrow, and Tor that purpose
he called upon a lady Of his acquaintance,
and requested to speak word with her IN
private Thinking that she was about to
receive a proposal, the lady prepared to
listen with becoming resignation.
tMyrrha," said he, with downcast eyes,
as he took her hand, 'you knew my wile?"
Certainly"
'It is not good for man to be alone"
"PerhNps not"
"Did you ever reflect upon that part OF
the marriage service which requires couples
to cleave unto each other till death do them
part?"
"I have"
II have often reflected upon it myself.
Now, death has parted inc from my wife,
and feel very lonely
81 should think 1t likely"
81 think must do something to restore
to me her kind consultations, and the memory
OF her virtues.
He pressed the lady's hand and sighed.
She returned the pressure and also suffered
a sigh to escape her,
"NIy DEAR" he said, after long pause,
"rll come to the point at once have u
proposal to maken
"a proposal p
"Yes; have resolved to write my wife's
biography. Now, have but little skill in
literary matters, and if you will correct my
manuscript, and write headings for the chap
.ers, will give you fifty dollars"
She sprang from his side, and her eyes
flashed with anger.
"You wretch-monsterl'
She left the room, not being able TO ex-
press her rage. The widower sighed, took
his hat and went home, He has not yet
published his book

In SEARCH OF A RETAIL SToRE.-A green
appearing genius, on his first visit TO Boston,
observed sign over store thus; "Whole-
sale and Retail Store" He worked his way
through the crowd of ladies until he faced
one of the clerks who was exhibiting some
article to young lady, when he broke out
with:
sSay, Mister, who's boss here2
"The proprietor has just stepped out, sir "
"Woll, is this retailing store9"
eyes, sir, a wholesale and retail store"
"Guess you understand your trader"
"oh, yes" replied the clerk, wrapping
up bundle for his lady customer, "what
can do for you."
"Well, as the cold weather is coming on,
1 thought / mought as well come and give
you a job"
81 don't understand you, SIR" replied
the clerk, who began to think the fellow had
got into the wrong box"
"'zactly so; wei, III tell you"
"Explain what you mean, my friend,
said the clerk, as he saw him produce a
bundle from under his coat
swell, as said before, the'cold weather's
coming on, and Thought l might as well
be fixin' for IT. Come mighty near lreezin'
pother winter, tell you did; but"
81 hope you will tell me what you want,
so may serve you"
Certainly, Squire, certainly; l always
do business in hurry; and just as quick as
the old master will let you, l want you to
retail these old shirls-let lem CONC down
about to the knees, kasc don't wear draw
ers.r
The effect can be imagined, but, as the
novelists say, can't be described.
The loud burst of laughter which followed
served to convince the poor fellow TINT he
had committed himself, and his long legs
were soon put in motion for the door.

MUTUAL DIsLIKE.-An ill-natured fellow
quarreled with his sweetheart on the day
they were to be married. After the cere-
mony had hegun he was asked;
"Do you take this woman to be your
welded wie?" etc.
lie replied, mo"
"What is the reason?n asked the minister
"1've taken dislike to her, and that's
enough" was the surly reply.
The parties retired-the bride in tears
and after much persuasion the groom was
induced to have the marriage proceed. 1t
was now the lady's turn, and when the min
lister asked the all-important question
"No,n said she, resolutely, "l've taken
dislike to him."
The groom, admiring her spunk, made
the matter up with her as soon as possible,
and third time they presented themselves
before the minister, who began the ccre
nony by asking the usual questions, which
were satisfactorily answered this time. But
TO the astonishment of the party the minister
continued:
"Well, Pm glad to find that you're willing
to take each other for husband and wife, fol
its good thing to be of forgiving temper
You can go now and get married where yol
WILL will not tie the knot, for have takei
a dislike 10 both of you"

SHREwD WAY OF CATCHING THIEVES
The Paris papers reveal new style of theft
by which jewellers are losers. The thlai
enters the shop OF dealer in diamonds and
pearls and asks to see some small unset
stones. He is well dressed and wears color
ed speclacles The stones gre laid before
him, spread on paper. Being very near
sighted, as his glasses prove, he is Obliged
to bring his eyes so near to the gems that
he can pick them up with the tip OF his tom
que, and he keeps them in his mouth until
out of the shop. Ifhe fears detection, which
seldom occurs, he swallows his treasure
whence the slang name of "Swallow it raw "
given TO this class by tho thieves fraternity
One of them was caught the other day. The
diamond merchant, put upon his guard, said
he had no small stones but would have n
large supply the next day. A policeman
was in waiting; the diamonds were laid ou'
upon paper previously impregnated with an
extremely bitter drug, which when the THE
mt his tongue to them acted so violently OIL
his sense of taste that he instantly rejected
what he had just taken. The policeman
onneared and the thief was taken in the act
