Education Among Different European
Nations.

An Italian journal, LEO dItaiia, contains
some interesting reports as TO the educationa
condition of different European nations. In
Saxony, education is compulsory; all inhabi-
tants OF the kingdom can read and write, and
every child attends school. In Switzerland All
can read and write, and have q good primary
education. Education Is obligatory, and greater
efOsts, In proportion to its means, are made to
1mpart primary instruction than in any other
European nation. In all the smaller states of
North Germany education is compulsory, aud
all the children attend school. In Denmark the
same is true. All the Danes, with but few ex-
Ceptlons, can read, write and keep accounts
fourteen.
In Prussia, almost all the children attend
school regularly, except in some of the eastern
districts. An officer who had charge of the mil
itary education OF the Landwehr, in twelve
years. had only met with three younH soldiers
who could neither read nor write. An inquiry
having been instituted, it was found that
these three were the children of soldiers who had
been born on the river, and had never settled in
any place. Instruction is obligatory.
In Sweden the proportion OF inhabitants who
Ian nei.her read nor write Is one In thousand.
Instruction obligatory.
In Baden every child receives instruction:
and in Wurtemburg there is not peasant, or a

In Holland public assistance is taken avav

Mary JOhnson's Two Husbands.

Temperance Of a Shiprrecked Wdriaer After q
Decade Among The SdUages.
Justice Lanes court turn ont an interesting
case. Twenty years ago John Carter and Mary
johnson we're married in Philadelphia. John
was sailor, not unfrequently shipped for vow
ages to India and Japan. The couple lived hap
PLY ten years. But in the spring of '6l Mary
and ner children were left without a protector.
In the beginning Of that year John had engaged
on board the clipper Columbia for Calcutta,
and the vessel was wrecked off one of the
islands of the East Indian Archipelago, and
az her crew were supposed to have persisted.
alter Aier the Lapse Of ys ws the sti eomsy
marriage they came to New York and took
rooms at No. go East Twenty-sixth street.
Wilson proved q kind and good husband to
the mariners widow, and everything went well.
Carter's children were by this time all grown up
and able to shift for themselves so that those by
her second husband now mOnopolized all her
care and attention. Wilson wasa shipcarpenter
and used to repair to the East River shipyards
every morning to follow his calling, leaving
Mary TO the performance Of her household dulles
While she was thus engaged about month ago,
poor, manned, weather-beaten stranger APP
preached the house in which they resided and in
CURED if George Wilsonl lived there He was told
that he did, but was then absent at work. Mrs.
Wilson was at home, and if he would walk up
stairs he could see her. For moment the way
fareT seemed to labor under strong emotion, but
presently recovering himself he assembled the
stairs and knocked at the door of the Wilson
domicile. Instantly an invitation to enter came
from within, and when he entered the room
Mrs. Wilson, instantly recognizing him, ex-
claimed, "John!' and tainted.
The loDg-lost husbands story is, briefly that
he had escaped from the wreck to a savage
island, among whose inhabitants he had lived
for years, practically a-prsoner. AT length,
after he had abandoned all hope OF ever again
seeing his country and family, a Dutch vessel
proyidentially touched at the island and bore
him to Europe, whence a generous American
captain gave him free passage to Phila-
delphia. There he learned OF the marriage of
Mary and OF her remoy al with her children to
New York. ...
Mrs. Wilson, on recovering her consciousness
anu presence OF mind, FASTENED to supply the
wants OF her long-lost husband; and which of
the two husbands shall have her to wife remains
TO be solved by the courts, or by the voluntary

ACCOUNT OF THE dixie PAMILY-sKETCH OF
THE PRESENT BAROyYT,

ACCOUNT OF THE dixie FAMILY-sKETCH OF
THE PRESENT BARoNRT.
The prominent position which Sir Charles W.
Dixie has acquired in British politicts invests
the history of his family and his own career with
some interest The first member of the family
publicly known was Charles Wentworth Dixie,
who was born in Il So and was a contributor to
Westp,inster and Retrospective Rsriers and other
periodicals. In 1914 he edited a valuable collec-
ton of old English plays in six volumes. He
was proprietor and for many years editor of The
4h.Hosm, the leading weekly literary published
His son, the first baronet, also named Charles
Wentworth was born in London i'm 1910, and was
educated at Westminster and at Trinity Hall,
Cambridge. He succeeded TO the principal
ownership of The AMen0um, and was for many
years editor thereof. He was one of the earliest
promoters Of the Great Exhibition OF 1851, and
acted as leading member Of the executive
committee. When rewardswere conferred upon
various members of that body for their services,
Mt. Dixie was offered the honor of knighthoOd,
which he declined. He refused all pecunisry
reward for his assistance, wishing his public SER
vices TO be purely honorary. He also aided in
bringing the Horticultural Society of London 10
the prosperous condition 1t has enjoyed for many
years. Queen Victoria appointed him one of the
five royal commissioners charged with the i'm
Portsnt duty OF organizing the London Exhibit
ton OF 1852. In January, 1852, she conferred a
baronetey upon him, and at the general election
I TN July, 1865, he was returned to the House of
Commons for WalliDgford.
The present baronet, Sir Charles Weutwor n
Dixie, is the eldest son OF the preceding and
was born in London in is43, and is consequently
only in his 18th year. He was educated at Trim
ity Hall, Cambridge, and received the degree of
Ii. b. in 1856, and was called to the bar at the

Fans of the western Emn;rc.

The Chinese, indeed, claim, with their char

the moment into her insipid head. She Is the
mother of those who would not ''be in maiden
meditation fancy Free" and who by their dex-
trous employment Tor manage. as Spanish
women say,) of this elastic and quick instrument
of expression, have won the title of ''Flirts"
The favorite styles of Chinese fans are the
simple palmleaf, the carved sandalwoOd, aud
the ivory-sOme of which are elaborately cut i'm
fine threads between figures, in relief, until
firm, Of a marble lace. There are too from
China, screen-shaped fans, set in bamboo
frames, and exquisitely embroidered in bright
glossy colors upon dimly transparent silk. And
most graceful OF all-fans made of various
kinds OF feathers, which occasionally, to a
highly priced effect, have pumes of snowy
whiteness mounted upon coal-black sticks of
ebony richly embossed with gold. But Japa-
nese fans have been the rage of late. Indeed, if
wind from the East had lifted the leaves from
thousand forests of fans and blown them down
tumultuously upon our coast, we could not have
been made more familiar-in street, and car,
and by-way, and dOor-step-than we are now
with these perfectly uncostly, amazingly deco
rated and truly refreshing Japanese fans. They
consist OF light framework of bamboo, some
times enriched with gilded lacquer, whose rods
are spread slenderly apart, like the quilts of
of paper of silken quality made from the fibrous
bark of mulberry trees. There are also fans
from Japan of c0stlier and much more elegant
order, upon whose taffeta or cedar wood leaves
pictures Of landscapes and figures are painted in
an Inimitable way. Some of these, drawn simply
IN India ink, are valuable artistic studies of the
dreamlike twilights of pale mezzotint Their
ivory handles are enameled with gold, and have
brilliant little bugs, beetles and flies and lady
bugs made of cOrnelian and pearl, set into them
smoothly as with a brush. There is something
sentimentally Interesting about japanese fans.
For IN that "sunny land" the Triangular form of
the fan is sacred, and the object itself is in
umately associated with the manners, laws and
religions of the race. A Japanese traveller,
starting on journey some bright morning, takes
with him a cOlorless fan. The delicious tenn
perature Of the day does not require him to use
it; but ever and again he draws it from his belt.
