results. At the Industrial schools at An
erly every scholar had his or her own bed,
and the wise authorities there-who had
improved the health of the children un-
der their charge until the mortality was
reduced to three in one thousand annual
ly-told him that few things had contri-
buted so much to the grand results
they had achieved as the one prac-
tice of having a separate bed for
every child. A daily bath with cold
water in the summer and tepid water in
winter was necessary for the
health of every person. Every effort
should be made to maintain an equal
temperature in the house-a temperature
OF sixty degrees Fahrenheit being the
test-and there should be system of
complete household cleansing once year.
He would leave his colleagues to descant
on ventilation, good food, good air and
other accessories to health, and though

Astonishing Faith.

Once upon time, years go, plain
Mr.. Disraeli was in Leeds, and he was
waited upon by the Secretary of GER
tain institution in that town, who asked
him to give lecture or an address. He
first made several excuses, then refused
utterly, and at last, being further
pressed, said: swell, I will come and
give you an address this time ten years"
With that assurance the Secretary went
away and waited. The ten years rolled
along, aud at their expiration he came
to London, sought and obtained an in
terview with the Premier, reminded
him of his promise, and claimed it's full
tllment. The great man had, of course,
forgotten all about the matter, but when
it was brought to his recollection he
again made polite excuses, pointed out
that circumstances in the meantime
had greatly changed, and that he had
other duties to attend to now. But the
Secretary was an old-fashioned man;
he had the curious and obsolete idea
that promise was promise, and
ought to be carried out, and said as
much. Sand did you really believe at
that time" said his Lordship, " that I
should carry out that promise?" Seer
tainly, was the reply, "if you were still
alive and able to do it." ''Well,' said
the Premier, in musing tone, 1T is
truly astonishing what faith people
have in me-" He did not deliver the
lecture, and is still, therefore, consid-
cred to have broken his word BY the
Secretary of the institution London
letter.

An Acadian COurtshfp.

The wooing must be done at balls, or
in the presence of the family. Flirting
being impracticable, it is always under
stood that the wooer means marriage,
and consequently he eagerly avails him
self of the few privileges deemed by the
rural Mrs. Grundy consistent with the
proprieties. These usually begin with
prancing, caracoling and racing his
horse on the road in front of his
"belle's" dwelling-place. He repeats
the performance as often as possible.
and enjoys it immensely. The more
spectators, the greater his delight. The
sweets of courtship are necessarily ex-
pended on the old folks. Macaboy
snuff, la vanille, a bottle of anisette,
etc, for maman, 60 far toward making
the course of true love run smooth.
With the old gentleman, tact at losing
half-dimes at play is equally effective,
always provided the lover comes under
that comprehensive descriptive "bon
garcon." While thus counting the par
ents, he avails himself of every oppor-

Passed In his Checks,

1t Is good to speak we'll of the dead,
but'it cannot hurt Old Charley Rip1on'a
feelings to state that he was one of the
toughest old drunkards in Detroit. He
has been gathered IN by death, and he
will hear not or read not. His lite was
as curious as his death. He lived as an
experiment. He wanted to see if he could
kill whiskey before it killed him, and
when he found himself defeated he owned
up like man, and was ready to die.
Think OF man being more or less in
toxicated every Gay in the "eek for forty
two years! That was old Charleys ex-
perience as near as he could remember.
Not man OF Lis acquaintance ever saw
him have as much money as a dollar at
one time. and yet he managed keep
clothes ON his back, food under his lack
ct, and to find bed. When men asked
him what he lived for. he answered ITO
take sol,d comfort" Perhaps he had it.
No one ever saw him angry; he never
made complaint: he never wor-
ried, and 1t wasn't hall the time that he
could tell the day OF the week.
Well, after fighting whiskey for about
forty two long years, Old Charley laid
aside his battle-axe the other day. No
body knew that he vas ill-no one had a
suspicion that his time had come He
had been given a bed in an old rookery
on Franklin Street, and in the night he
called out that he wanted doctor. One
was sent for, and when he had looked
Old Charley over, he remarked:
''You are going to liel''
"That's what thought, was the pla-
cid reply; and before daybreak the old
man was corpse.
When the news came out that Old
Charley was no more, lot of his old
whiskey-loving friends assembled to vie y
the body, and see that it was buried at
the expense Of the city.
