Limitation Of Municipal Indebtedness.

a lengthy bill was presented in the
Maine Legislature limiting municipal in
debtedness, which provides that assessors
yearly shall assess taxes to an amount not
less than the aggregate Of all sums appro-
priated or lawfully expended by their re-
spective cities and towns since the last pre-
ceding annual assessment and not proyid-
ed TOR, together with all sums required to
be raised by taxation and all sums neces-
sary to satisfy final judgments recovered
against said cities and towns. il prevents
til" mourning of any debts except those for
temporary loans in anticipation OF the
taxes of the year in which the debts are in
CURED, and of the year next ensuing.
Debts other than these authorized, are on
ly TO be incurred by a two-thirds vote. All
debts contracted are to be paid within
period of ten years and q sufficient amount
l. to be raised yearly by taxation to pay
the, Interest, and shall also raise not less
than per cent, of the principal until
sufficient sum is raised to extioyuish the
dcot al maturity. 1t also provides for the
payment OF water loans. establishing a
sinking fund, and also limiting their total
indebtedness to three per cent. of the valu-
alton. The restrictions of the bills do not
except cities or towns from their liabilities

OF religion which 1t was the policy of the
State to force upon, or even recommend to
the children OF the nation. We have not be.
lieved In Its presence there. That the State
would be better with the Bible as an ac-
cepted standard Of morality in all the
schools. we do not think admits Of oues-
ton; but that Is not the point at issue.
The point at issue Is, whether the Protes-
tant version OF the Bible, as the record of
the Christian religion, shall be forced upon
the chiluren OF the State by the State, when
the State is full OF dissentients in great va
riety. We very strongly suspect that we.
who have hitherto been the advocates Of
the Bible In the schools, are weak at this
point, and that We shall be obliged to
yield 1t. If We teach our form of religion
In our public schools, the Catholic will
wish to teach his form of religion In his
schools, and to do 1t with the public mon
ey. the same as we do. Can we blame him.
and can we resist his claim so long as we
maintain our own! II we are going into
an action, it is well to clear our decks.
But we are not going to have much OF a
struggle on these questions II we settle
them now. II We do away with the
grievance OF the Catholic, we do away with
his claim; and we mark out for Catholic
and Protestant alike the path Of peace to
walk in side by side. 1t seems to US that
the Presidents recommendations are not
only worthy of the universal consideration
which they are receiving. but that they are
destined, sooner or later, to pass into the
Consultation Of the country. The children
will be educated by the State the churches
Will look after their religious training; and
neither Christianity nor infidelity, in any
form, will be inculcated at the expense OF
the Stste. The President has taken broad
ground. and that which seems to us to be
entirely defensible. Let us stand by him.

Why he Wanted the Tiger.

Those who attended the sale of animals
frsm Barnum's hippodrome in Bridgeport,
the other day. report the following occur
renee: A tiger was being offered. The
bid ran up to $4,000. This was made by q
man who was stranger, and to him it
was knocked down. Barnum who had been
cycling the stranger during the bidding,
now went up to him and said
Pardon me for asking the question, but
will you tell me where you are from?"
Down South Bit" responded the
man.
Are you connected with any show"
No"
And are you buying this animal for
yourself?-
Yes"
Barnum shifted about uneasily for a mo-
ment, looked alternately at the man and
the tiger, and evidently trying his best TO
reconcile the two together.
Now, young man." he finally said,
you need not take this animal unless you
want to, for there are those here who will
take 1t off your hands"
IL don't want to SELL" was the quiet re-
ply.
What on earth are you going to do
with such an ugly beast il you have no
show Of your own, and are not buying for
sOuIe one who is u Snowman?
We'll, I'll tell you" said the purchaser,
'My wife died about three weeks ago. We
had lived together for ten years. snd-I
miss her." He paused to wipe his eyes and
steady his voice, aud then added-"so Eve
bought this tiger"
Il understand you," said the great show
man in a husky voice.

Tales from Bologna.

BOLOGNA is full Of beautiful stories
There Is that of King Hensius, or Enzio. |
remember Of reading in an old annual many
years ago, this story, told by Mrs. Norton.
1 think the very gilt edges of the precious
volume rustled in my memory as l entered
grand room in the Palazzo del Podesta,
and was told that here poor King Enzio
was captive for twenty-five years.
Enzio was the natural son of the Emper-
or Frederick III. He led Ghlbelline army
against Bologna, was taken prisoner in

of his life; but love laughed at locksmiths

came TO confess the royal prisoner was ac-
companled by beautiful boy. who brought
wine and fruit, and who begged to be al
lowed to remain as his page. King Enzio
had fever, and in one OF his delirious
moments: he imagined that the page
took 'ff his cap and allowed to flow down
some long golden hair. Perhaps instead
OF being deirious he was gaining his sen =

cover, but finally he was well tenough "a

1t love would console him. No one knows
what King Enzio replied, but the good
priest coming in opportunity, married
them on the spot. For the long years OF
his Imprisonment this noble creature lived
and wrought for the King Enzio. She

THE GOOSE BONE AND THE WEATHER
The Louisville Commercial says: The
goose-bone predictions are perhaps more
closely watched in Kentucky than any
where else, and it may be called the Ken
lucky weather prophet. In many parts of
the State the farmers consult il and pre-
pare for handling their crops in accord
ance with its predictions. Ii is said there
is a family in Woodford county that have
fifty OF these little prophets carefully laid
away, and declare that not one of them
mad. mistake in their predictions. Let
US turn to this years prophecy.
We must take the breast bone of last
springs goose-none other will do, for the
prophecy does not extend beyond the year
in which the goose is hatched. Thanks to
a friend, we have such bone. 1t must be
divided into three different parts, which
represents the three divisions OF winter.
The breast bone of goose is translucent,
but at places has cloud-like bots upon it.
These blots denote cold weather. Looking
at the bone before US. we find q little cold
weather about the first of December,
which we have realized, and there is anoth-
er blot beyond the centre of the bone, de-
noting cold weather about the middle of
January; this cloud we are passing now,
and so far our little prognosticator has
guided US right.
We are to have warmer weather after
few days, but the worst is to come The
darkest blots are near the end of the bone,
and if the prophecy fails not. winter will
verify the saying of coming in like tiamb
and going out like roaring lion. Our cold
est weather will come after the middle of
February. and our warmest fires will be re-
eeuired for the parting days of winter and
a nj tSt tha
bone prophecy, and as we have the word of
good old farmer that it has not failed for
fifty years, we would advise the laying in
OF good supply of coal and general prep
arations TO meet cold weather-for the
goose-bone has said it, and old Winter will
be after young Spring with great big ici-
cle."
