A Scotch Rain.

Loeb and adjacent mountains were
stepped in rain and mist; darkness
brooded over the moor; the green slope
of Ben dig was changed to yellowish
brown, and streaked with brawling tor
rents; and the one rambling street of the
little town sloppy and deserted, and over
cast with that appalling dreariness which
is to be found in its very acme only in
seaward town during rain-and mist

cry storm. / am patriotic Not only so,
but can gaze hopefully at a whirlwind

merciless Vermont tempest, that de-
scends at once in all its might and fury
and exultant ferocity only to be forth
with rent and hurled back into Erebus at
the peremptory, resistless beck of his
solar majesty; give me that, trebly en-
ragged, before the mean, oozing, pervad-

The Caledonia (Wis.) Courier says:
"The largest woman in the world, Mrs.
Ruth Benton, alias Fanny Wallace, died
at her residence in Vernon county, Wis,
on Friday last. She was tifty-four years
old, seven feet four inches in height, and
weighed 5s5 pounds. Her coffin was
made in this village, and WAS seven feet
eight inches in length, three feet six
inches in depth, four feet wide at the cen
ter, twenty four inches ut the head and
twenty three inches at the foot. 1t re-
quirod eight men with block and tackle
to lower the remains into the grave. She
was kind, good neighbor, a loving
mother, and was beloved by all who
knew her. Knowing that she inevitably
must shuttle off the mortal coil all the
necessary preparations were made, and she
died surrounded by her family and many
friends, happy, contented, with an .un-
shaken belief in her adopted religion,
which was that of an Adventist

Educational Notes.

In the educational classification of the
States North Carolina stands next to the
foot.
THE University Of South Carolina
which was recently closed by the trustees
will probably be re.opened sometime
next year.
The question of introducing algebra,
Latin and Greek, into the grammar grades
of the Cleveland schools, is under consid-
Grafton by the Board of Education.
In the schools of Rochester, N. Y, a
work on civil government is to be substl-
tuted for the study Of physics in the first
grades of the Grammar schools, and al
zebra is to take the place of history.
IT is said that at Oberlin not few OF
the students get through the year with
out spending over $3.50, all told. Twenty
seven dollars a year covers the entire cost
of tuition, incidentals and library ices IN
even the highest departments. Board
and rooms in the town are very cheap
Scarcely one of the professors, it is re-
ported, gets a salary on which he can sup
port his family. So they preach on Sun
days, teach during the vacations, write,
etc.
M. LEGouvE, the clever Frenchman,
SAYS that in America reading aloud is
counted as one of the elements OF public
instruction; it is one of the bases OF early
education; while in France it does not
even rank with the lighter arts; it is re-
garded at best rs curiosity. After many
years of study and experience, M. Le-
gouve has become convinced that reading
is an art, and heis desirous of introducing
it among the various branches Of educa-
tion in his country.
THERE are now in Paris about 427
schools for elementary instruction. The
number of pupils received is about 49,,
AIT. Notwithstanding the heavy burden
of debt upon the city, and the enormous
taxation rendered necessary by that debt
and by the necessities of the State, the
municipal government is making Strenu-
Gus efforts to provide every Parisian with
the rudiments of an education. Above
the elementary schools, the city has also
founded several superior schools, and a
few technical schools, and it is improving
them.

Soldier How Independent British Girls


The richest heiress now on tue engaged
list ia Miss Crawshay, the daughter of the
Vulcan of the Hills in South Wales. Her

Wales circuit. ] should be very happy to
take her sister upon the same terms, if
felt inclined to marry--for money. These
ironmasters' daughters have very
considerate way of selecting poor men for
their husbands, for Sir George Eliott's
daughter married one of the special cor
respondents of the Daily Ne,os, and few
DAYS ago the heiress of Durham colliery
proprietor bolted with the editor of a
north country newspaper. 1t is said Of
one of these ladies-perhaps it would be

ing with a gentleman on board steamer
which was engaged in laying a deep-sea
cable in the Atlantic, they very naturally y
took to flirting on the quarter. deck. The
lady was all alone except with papa. The
gentleman made himself agreeable, and,
being tall and handsome, of course soon
ipgratisted himself with the iron kings
daughter. One day, finding himself alone,
he proposed there and then. "Hush y
said the lady; papa is asleep on the sofa
and might hear you. Let US take stroll

lady, resuming the conversation on deck,
"but of course you did not know when
you were talking to me below that was

Perhaps, all things considered, it is as
well the British soldier was not sent to
Constantiuople the other day. The march
from Aldershott to Windsor and the hard
ships he underwent while being received
by the Queen were too much for him.
Too much if it be true, as stated, that the
casualties of the day amounted to near
one thousand out of the fourteen thousand
men engaged. The corps might have
gone through a tolerably brisk action
without losing a greater percentage. Heat
and fatigue were the cause of the gaps in
the ranks, and there are the usual ex-
planation that the men were overmarched
and kept needlessly long under arms.
Probably that is true, but there is no rea-
son to suppose it would be less true if the
troops had been in actual service. 1t is
affirmed also that the Queen had been ex-
pected to 60 to Aldershott and review
the troops there. Disliking to expose
herself to the heat and dust, she ordered
her little army to Windsor. 1t may ap-
pear to the impartial outsider that the
heat and dust were not likely to be less
for $4,000 men marching from Aldershott
to Windsor, than for one elderly lady
driving from Windsor to AldershOtt in a
carriage. But there can be no doubt that
the army ought to have been able to do
what was asked of it; and if it were not,
the sooner the fact was ascertained the
better. 1t will not do for staff officers
to complain of "short notice." 1t might
happen that the Russians would some
day be so forgetful of good manners as
to give them no notice at all.-L0ndon

The USE OF BALLOONS IN WARFARE
1t appears, from the report of the result
OF series OF experiments to determine
the utility of balloons for reconnoitering
purposes, recently carried on In Germany,
and extending over considerable length
OF time, that after repeated trials Il bal
loon was constructed that could be packed
in a comparatively small space, and
carried about without being damaged or
rendered in any way unit for immediate
use. A second difficulty arose in provid-
Ing portable apparatus capable OF sup
plying sufficient quantity Of gas for
the Initiation of the balloon whenever and
wherever 1t might be required to use this
latter. But this impediment was likewise
overcome, and an apparatus was designed
which could generate, in from two to
Two and n half hours enough hydrogen 20

unfortunately, however, there has been
found to be yet another obstacle in the
way OF using balloons for reconnoitering
purposes for which no remedy can as yet
Oe devised. From the height to which
uie balloons must ascend useful Observa-
u0ns can only be made by the aid OF

AN INCIDENT.-Gen. Santa Anna was
in command of the MexicaDs at Cerro
Gordo. He was utterly defeated and
com mpelled to retreat, with heavy losses
In prisoners, material, and killed and
wounded. Gen. Shields was dangerously
wounded in the fight, and of course was
left behind at Jalapa. When be became
convalescent he was informed that lady
living opposite the house where he lay
had been very kind, attentive, and had
been OF much help to his attendants.
AS soon as he was allowed to walk out he
went to thank her, when he learned to his
surprise that she was the daughter OF
Santa Anna. In the course of converse.
ton that followed he remarked:
But did you know who it was that you
were ministering to all the timeF
Not at first she replied 4 discov-
cred after a time that you Wee

REQUISITES FOR A NEWSPAPER MAN.

Boston newspaper men, said: "What

by days severe and exhausting work,
when, after listening as patiently as pos

in as few words as possible, the qualifica-
tions necessary to prosecute the business
successfully. He was somewhat startled
by the assertion thatthey were as follows;
