Rights OF Parents rs to Religious Edu.
cation.

A CURIOUS question was passed upon
by the English Court of Appeal in the
case of Agar Ellis against Lascelles,
namely, as to the authority of father
to control the religious education of his
children, and the effect of an ante-nup-
tial agreement with the mother in rela-
ton to such education. In this case,
the father was Protestant and the
mother Roman Catholic. The father
endeavored to have the children edu-
Gated in the tenets of the Protestant
faith, but the mother, without the
knowledge of the father, caused them
to be baptized as Roman Catholics, and
to attend the services of that church.
The father, settling upon each of the
children . certain sum, caused them to
be made wards of the court and pro-
cured an order from the Vice. Chancel-
lor, declaring that they should be
brought up as Protestants, and re-
straining the mother from taking them
to any Roman Catholic place Of wor-
ship. The mother opposed this order,
claiming that she agreed to the mar
riage with her husband, relying on q
promise made to her and her relations,
that the children should be brought up
in her religious faiths The Court Of
Appeal affirmed the order of the Vice.
Chancellor, holding that the father had
the legal right to bring up the children
in his own faith, and that he had in no
way forfeited or abandoned his author
ity. The decision is in harmony with
the general rule, that, as to religious
education, the child is to be educated in
the religion Of the father.-Albany Lasc

half-hour during the day and once an
hour during the night, would be able
to keep up these signals for two days
longer before my stock was exhausted.
# they tarry beyond that time. God
have mercy on mel l placed my rifle
close to 3 crevice and fired. The
sound of the charge reverberated
through the mountain tops. If they
are within three or four miles of me
they will certainly hear that. During
the fourth day fired regularly, listen
ing with feverish anxiety for some
sound to mark their coming. My con-
dition was now becoming appalling;
my form was emaciating, and an in
tense thirst made my mouth and throat
feel like fiery furnace. The day
passed, the night drew on; but still
they came not. Sleep was q stranger
to my aching eyes, and to my wakeful
musings I was at bounteously-lade
tables, drinking great draughts from
limpid springs. I was bordering on
insanity! The fifth day came. With
great difficulty I raised the rifle, now
heavy in my weakness. to give the last
few signals. Great blotches began to
cover my limbs-would complete in
sanity follow?
Of what followed I remember only
with slight shade of reason. On the
sixth morning my last signal was fired,
and in the last frenzy of despair COM
menced to scream 10 the full extent of
my weakened condition. Several times
1 sunk prone down with exhaustion,
but would rally for q mighty exer-
ton. How long remained in this
semi-comatose state was difficult for
me to determine; but I was aroused by
several reports of rifles, and the fierce
bowling Of q dying bear. Hope sue
ceeded despair, and with strength
amazing to myself, l put my cracked
and bleeding lips to the crevice and
screamed until my exhausted frame
seemed unmindful of the little life it
contained My last effort was not
witaavut avail, for my friends had heard
my cries and fastened to my aid; but,
strange to say, they had not heard any
of the many shots I had fired, and
would not have found me had not the
wounded and bleeding bear, which they
had followed several miles by its bloody
trail, led them directly to my prison.
They removed the rock. and for many
months carefully nursed me, but to this
day the indelible results of that terrible
experience have not been eradicated.-

"A clever little passage at the ex-
pense of q member of the Belgian Le-
cation is current in Washington. A
young attache recently reached here
fresh from London, his last station, and
greatly vexed over what he was pleased
to call his exile. 'At all events" he
was in the habit of saying, and the re-
mark came to be widely quoted, II
shall speak no English in Washington.
l learned it in London, and I don't in
tend to spoil my accent" Time passed.
The attache was at q reception. Some
friend of his asked a bright young
American woman to permit him to
present the attache to her. "Oh, dear,
no." was the reply, and it has travelled
over Washington; II couldn't think
of such a thing. I learned my French
in Paris. and it would ruin my accent
to talk with q Belgian"

A Wonderful Rat Story.

WHILE wOrkmen were tearing up the
old floor of the Central Freight House
at Auburn, N. Y, lately, preparatory
to relaying, they came across an un-
used scale-box some eight inches deep
and about four feet square. 1t was
pried up from its position, and as it
was being raised q rafting sound was
heard inside. The men broke it open,
when out jumped q monstrous rat.
Chase was given the rodent, but the
animal managed to escape by running
into pile of freight. The rat was as
large as q good-sized kitten, and SO
gray from age that it was almost white.
The bottom of the box from which it
emerged was found to be completely
covered to the depth of an inch or
more with peanut shucks, corn, corn
cobs, and the like. The only opening
that could be discovered was q small
hole, about an inch and three-quarters
in diameter, through which . rod had
passed. When young and small, the
rat, it is supposed, crawled into the
box, and after gorging itself with plum
der was unable to get out, and thus be-
came voluntary prisoner. 1t gradu-
ally grew until it reached enormous
proportions. The materials found in
the box indicate that other rats fed it,
and thus kept it from starvation. The
rodent was undoubtedly confined for
several years, and the action of the
other animals in supplying it with
means of subsistence shows q degree
Of intelligence that the rat has rarely
been given credit for. How the inn
prisoned rat obtained water or other
liquids to quench its thirst is a mystery;
but that it was in the box for several
years there can be no doubt. Its long
imprisonment did not seem to impair
its physical qualities to any extent, as
was evidenced by the sprightly manner
in which it lodged about to get away
from the workmen when it was released.

1t is not generally known that
boiled carrots, when properly prepared,
form an excellent substitute for eggs
in buildings. They must for this pur-
pose be boiled and mashed and passed
through coarse cloth or hair sieve
