dent of the Jesuits in North America,

borne off by two young ladies.
The Oldest preacher in the Provi-
dence, X l., Conference is Rev, War
rem Emerson, aged eighty-four. He has
preached fifty-seven years.
The Alaska Indians are SO fond Of
singing that an organ is called for to be
used in the mission at Sitka. Their
singing is not very good, but they make
up by earnestness what is lacking in
musical excellence.
The death of DIR. Bruce, a promin-
emit minister of the Free Church of
Scotland, is announced. He was the
last survivor of those who at the eve of
the disruption stood foremost in the
ranks of the Presbyterian ministers in
Edinburgh.
Maurice Koechlin, age sixteen, an
inmate of school for the deaf and

his examination for the degree of
Bachelor of Letters at Lyons, France.
He is stone deaf and cannot articulate

Brooklyn can no longer lay claim
to being the City of Churches. She
furnishes only one church to every L.
721 of population. OF other prominent
cities at least ten are ahead of her.
Washington has one for every 932;
Cleveland one for every 1,O44; New
Orleans one for every 1,345; Cincinnati
one for every 1850; Baltimore one for
every lap; and Boston one for every
1866. St. Louis is nearly as we'll of
for churches as BROOKLYN, having one
for every 1852 of population. As for
New York City. she is nearly as far be-
hind Brooklyn as Brooklyn is behind
Washington. The proportion stands
one to 2,613. In New York State the
figures are one to 805.
The Governor of New Zealand, Sir
Hercules Robinson, characterizes the
system of education adopted there, and
which it is hoped will be carried out, as
the most ambitious yet adopted in
any country in the world" It is pro-
posed in New Zealand to provide the
whole juvenile population with instruc-
ton free of charge in the following
subjects: reading, writing, arithmetic,
English grammar and composition,
geography, history, elementary science,
drawing, object lessons, vocal music,
drill, and, in case of girls, needlework
and the principles of domestic economy.
The scheme includes also provision at
the public expense for a system of
scholarships, for the maintenance of
normal schools for training teachers,
for the efficient inspection of public
schools. and for the erection of suitable
school buildings. As soon as sufficient
school accommodation has been pro-
vided the Education Act contemplates
that attendance at public schools shall
be made compulsory on all children
between the ages of seven and thirteen
who may not be otherwise under eff
cient or regular instruction.

Household Notes.

Ladies who do their own work will
find garnet ring quite becoming in the
marked contrast made by it in connec-
ton with the white dough of the morn
ing biscuit. Diamonds are no longer
considered in good taste, though they
are occasionally used with good effect in
mixing gingerbread.
Soap should be used sparingly on
children's hands and faces. Much
money is thrown away on soap that
might be more profitably employed in
buying bonbons and caramels. Even
children are aware of this fact.
The unesthetic gloss on marble may
be easily removed by setting glasses
wet with lemonade upon the slab. Al
most any acid will serve, but lemon
ade is the favorite agent.
A great many young housekeepers fall
into the very natural error of thinking
that boiled potatoes should be served
with the core au natural. They pre-
serve their form much better cooked
that way, it is true, but the men folks
have got into the incurable habit of
eating potatoes boiled into q formless
pulp.
In canning peaches, mothers should
have their little boys help them peel
the fruit. A great deal of labor is thus
obviated. A mother informs us that the
peaches she had supposed would fill six
Jars only made five. She had her lit
tie sons help in peeling, and therefore
got through canning quicker than she
had anticipated.
A great deal of sickness in children
may be avoided by parents eating the
green fruit ON their place themselves.
A united effort in neighborhood is
necessary to make this remedy effectual.
Hens and children are prone to ramble.
The only known way to make pickles
keep is to lock them up in the store
closet and then throw away the key.
Many other methods have been tried,
but this is the only practical one.

This is the only time when it is per-

A Silent Partner.

Old Dabbs and Jim Carter, two col
ored men, having grown tired of farm
ing, came to this city and opened kind
OF grocery store. Dabbs was a shrewd.
bow-legged man, with broad feet, and
with nose shaped like the half of a
pear. Carter was young and inexperi-
enced. After the stock had been pur-
chased Dabbs remarked:

The two men signed the instrument and
called in witnesses. Next morning
Dabbs came down to the store early,
and when Carter arrived all of the
witnesses were sitting in the storcroom.
"Good mornin', Dabbs," said Carter.
Dabbs didn't say anything, and Carter
continued: why de deuce doesn't yer

Carter appealed to the Witnesses,
but was informed that he had broken

Courteous Highwaymen.

The robbery of stage passengers on
their way to the Mammoth Cave, Ken
lucky, was by two men who explained
that they were not ordinary mercenary
rascals, but were moonshiners, who re-
quired money with which to escape
from Government prosecution. Come
out of the stage, please" said the
spokesman. The passengers saw the
muzzles of the revolvers covering the
vehicle, and. as there was not q weapon
in the party, they could not resist.
There were seven men and one woman.
The latter was not compelled to alight.
As each man stepped out he was told
to take his place in line and hold up his
hands. Then one robber kept his re-
volver aimed, while the other rifled
their pockets of about 81, 200, talking
pleasantly Is he did so. He asked each
passenger his name and residence, and
noted them down, saying that some day
he would repay. When the Lady gave
her home IS Lebanon, smile lighted
up the robbers face, and-he asked:

nice girls. Give them my regards when
you see them, and tell them l will make
this right some day" After getting
all the valuables in the party the ma
rauders returned the pocket-books,
with the railway tickets, and rode of.

A High and Well. Born German Child.

AT This place saw Cne yOuHSeSt H.
male scion of the house, a little creature
of six years, who as probable type of
the high and well-born girl of the period
is worthy of mention. She rejoiced in
the name of Hildegarde (and how
many more only her tombstone may re-

member the little girl watching the
"busy bee improving the shining
hours" in Mrs. Barbauld's Hymns for

was the exact reproduction of that

Roman-nosed governess during our
visit, but sat in one corner, with folded
hands and q preternaturally grave and

antics of my little Elsa, who tluttered

The American child was evidently q

Hildegarde was made to don large hat
with broad ribbons, linen frill was
tied around her neck, and long linen
mitts were drawn over her skinny little
arms quite up to the short sleeves; for

those democratic woOers, Sun and

her unpleasant governess, still keeping
her gaze fixed upon Elsa. All at once

How Children Learn to Talk.

AT the session of the American Phi
Illogical Association in Philadelphia
the other day Prof. S. o. Halderman
read a paper on the invention of words
by children. The child which the Pro-
fessor used to illustrate his remarks
was his own grandchild, who came to
Philadelphia from South America upon
q sailing vessel The child could not
speak when it started upon the voyage;
but the hustle upon shipboard stimu-
lated him to make several distinct syl-
tables which had no significance. One of
them, however, was "boom," and this
was the first word the child spoke. After
reaching this city the child's vocabu-
larry increased, but he continued to use
''boom" to indicate noise, blows,
steam; and cars he called by initiating
the noise of escaping steam. These
he continued until he learned the
names for these articles. He used con-
sonants in place of novels. and only
inserted the latter when taught them.
The child also called certain food
which its father liked by the latter's
name. The word '.good-bv'' was used
10 indicate the last of anything, and
the rear car of q train was called the

Regular Exercise.

REGULARITY and constancy in the
pursuit of exercise are important, says
The London Lancet, if perfect health is
expected to result from its employment.
Its far better for men to lead altogether
asedentary life than to be irregularly
active. This caution is the more needed
since the transition from sedentary
habits to arduous and exhausting
physical labor is of frequent occurrence.
Again, the transition from active
habits 10 sedentary pursuits is generally
accompanied by marked disturbance

the case, into idle habits as far as ex-
ercise is concerned, an attempt was
