resignation, to take effect on the 10Th

" denied the truth of the statement that he
had requested the resignation of Secretary

the I'D that the latter would soon resign, as
he had intended doing so for some time, but
had held on at the request of the President.
DANGEROUS counterfeit fve-dollar note

to grant Executive clemency. Hooper
was atnrst much agitated and trembled
like leaf shaken by the wind, but soon

day seemed to have become more recon

connection with this case is an exempli.
fication of the oft-told story that mems
hair sometimes turns gray in a sin ie
night. When Hooper was sentenced by
Judge Pottle last month his hair was
perfectly black. The morning after the
sentence was imposed Mr. Bridges keep

condemned mans cell that a portion Of
his head was perfectly white. He imme-
diately asked him where he had obtained
flour to put on his head. Hooper was
surprised and said he knew nothing
about it. Mr.. Bridges then went up to
him and discovered that large part of
his hair Immediately on the crown of his
head had actually changed from deep
black to q snowy white during the night.

Sea islanders. Goats have been intro

people deride the settlers for using the

As for pork, it is on religious grounds
that the Jews and Mohammedans abstain
from it, as the Hindoos do from beef.
But the Christians of the East seem to

the like prevailed lately in Scotland.
Maize or Indian corn has been intro

Herodotus relates that Persian Kins
asked the Indian soldiers that we're il

them to bury the dead bodies of thei
friends instead of eating them. They re

anything SO shocking.
On the other hand the New Zealander
before their conversion, who seemed
to have considered that the proper die

habit of eating only their enemies.

The Philadelphia Press says: "Pres-
byterianism seems admirably adapted
for developing the administrative powers
of womankind. The management of the
fair in aid of the Presbyterian Home,
which has just closed, announce a clear
profit of $4,000, with several tables vet
to hear from. The fair was entirely a
feminine affair in conception and man

allowed, we believe, to come about ex-
cept in subordinate capacity"
The Toledo Blade says: "That the
study of any foreign language in the
the English student, who must neces-
sarily neglect the elementary branches
to follow its pursuit, we firmly believe,
and can furthermore testify, from per-
sonal observation, that no advantage has
been gained, either by the study of the
modern or classical languages, until the
pupil has been we'll grounded in the
rudiments of English"
The spelling mania has caused the
raising OF the old question once mo re,
"Why not make the English language
phonetic?" The same question was
widely aud persistently advocated and
agi'ated by eminent philologists some
twenty years ago, both in Great Britain
and in this country. Newspapers and
school books were printed in phonetic
type, and many persons were SO sanguine
as to believe the reform possible. But
those who worked hardest and plead
longest for it then are now satisfied that
a radical reform in spelling is imp essi-
bic. An extra letter can now and then
be knocked out of word, but the
English language has too great history,
has too much literature in the old spell
ing, is too composite in its structure to
permit the reform, valuable as it would
seem to be, to become practical. The
demands of etymology ale great, and ety.
mology depends rather upon visible form
than upon sound. To reform the En-.
glish language and place it upon pho
netic basis means phonetizing all the
French, Spanish, Greek, Italian, Latin
or other languages that form elements OF

County, with headquarters at Ashland,
Clark, who came from Halifax. His
duties were to preach wherever he was
needed, and for this service he received
the sum of 5000 a year and whatever
donations the inhabitants might feel in-
clined to give him, and, as the parish
was poor, 1t did not amount to much,
except they would invite him to their
houses and keep him for a week or two
and thus save his board. He was a
bachelor and hired a room in an old
house in the village of Ashland, with a
man who was poor, miserable drunk

soul and body together, and when Mr..
Clark was not boarding with some of his

Mr.. Weeks brought them to Catskill and

it was found he had willed to St. Luke's

the amount to his brother, if alive, if not,
to his brothers son, and appointed his
brother, or his son, executor. He also
gave each church that he ever preached

that he had ever had, giving the name

taken to notify his friends, if alive, of

The origin of the American races is
pretty plainly limited at by some facts col
lected by c. w. Brooks, for seventeen
years Japanese Consul at San Francisco,
Mr.. Brooks finds that since 1882 forty one
wrecks Of japanese vessels have been
borne upon the coasts Of the Sandwich
Islands and of America, twenty eight of
them since 1850, and all but twelve of
them bearing human lives. These wrecks
were borne eastward by the Japan current,
or as the Orientals call it, 1.-THE black
stream" kur0 si,co japanese navigation
laws since 1880 have favored this course
Of affairs by prohibiting the shipbuilders
from making sea-going vessels. When
the navigators got blown off into the
stream the heavy sea knocked out the rud-
ders and masts and left them to the mercy
of the ocean currents. This accounts for
the Monaghan words mingled with the
language of the present Pacific coast In
dams and possibly for the origin of the
aboriginal Toltecs and Aztecs.
