THE REASON OF BIRDS.

May I tell you few facts to prove
that birds can be, like their human
friends, both reasonable and unreason-
able? First, several years ago pair of
my canaries built; while the hen was
sitting the weather became intensely
hot. She dropped and I began to fear
that she would not be strong enough to
hatch the eggs I watched the birds
closely, and soon found that the cock
was devoted nurse. He bathed in the
fresh cold water I supplied every morn
ing, then went to the edge Of the nest,
and the hen buried her head in his
breast and was refreshed. Without
hands and without sponge, what more
could he have done? Second, the fol-
lowing spring the same bird was hang
ing in the window with three other Ca
naries, each in separate cage. I was
sitting in the room, and heard my little
favorite give a peculiar cry. I looked
up, and saw all the birds crouching on
their perches, paralyzed with fright. On
going to the window to ascertain the
cause Of their terror, I saw large bal,
loon passing over the end Of the street.
The birds did not move till it was out of
sight, when they all gave chirp Of re-
lief. The balloon was only in sight OF
the bird who gave the alarm, and have
no doubt he mistook it for bird Of
prey. Third, I have green and vel.
low canary banging side by side. They
are treated exactly alike, and are warm
friends. One has Otter refused to par.
take of some delicacy till the other was
supplied with it. One day I had five
blossoms of dandel lion; I gave three tc
the green bird, two to the yellow one
The latter few about his cage, singing
in shrill voice, and showed unmistaka
BILE signs Of anger. Guessing the cause
I took away one Of the three flowers
when both birds settled down quietly tx
enjoy their feast.-Lond0n Spectator.

Secrets of the Printing Office.

Printers have never, we think, re-
ceived due appreciation for the honora-
bic confidence which they have preserved
in regard to the secrets with which they
have been intrrlsted. Such a case as
this often happens. An article in
newspaper or magazine makes what is
called sensation" It is entirely
anonymous. and public curiosity is ex-
cited to the utmost to discover the name
Of its author. The writer may be
Cabinet Minister, high official, court
ier, or any Of the thousand and one per-
ssns who, if he were suspected OF writ
ing for the press, would at once lose his
position, his office-perhaps his reputa-
ton. On the other hand, the writer
may be struggling author, a hard
working journalist, or mere literary
amateur. In any case his secret is pre-
served; his anonymity is safe as long as
it is confided to the printers.
Some years ago there was a great stir
made about book entitled Ecce
Homo" It was clever work, and had
an unexampled success. ''Who is the
author?" was the question on every
body's lips. Some scores Of persons
were named, and they repudiated their
participation in it. All sorts of conject-
ures were hazarded. and no doubt large
sums would have been paid by several
conductors of journals for authentic in
formation as to the name of the author.
Yet that name was known to master
printer, his overseer, and at least some
Of the compositors, but it was never re-
vealed. When the name was published,
it was not through the instrumentaity
of the printers, but entirely independ-
ent of them. They had faithfully kept
their secret.
Going back a few years, the author
ship of the "Waverly Novels may be
referred to as remarkable incident of
literary history. Sir Walter SCOTS
authorship, although known by twenty
persons, including number Of printers,
was so we'll concealed that the great
novelist could not, even in his match
less vocabulary, find words of praise SUI
ficient to express the sense of his CRATE
full acknowledgment and wondering
admiration for the matchless fidelity
with which the mystery had been pre-
served.

TWO FROM ONE LEAVES ONE.

Boys caught in using or making orig
inal arithmetic are lucky if they are
shrewd enough to prove it:
Two urchins sitting on a doorstep
with their states in their laps were
heard, by passer-by, saying, ''Two
from one, and one remains" he at
once challenged them with, "IIl give
you sixpence if you can prove that,
my boys" They took him at his word
and ran into kitchen where their
mother sat nursing twins. In amoment
each boy had a baby in his arms, and
was pointing at the wondering matron
as proof that their novel arithmetical
proposition was correct. They had
taken two from one, and one remained,
and honestly won the reward.

plate the state was in with anything
like the composure I felt at the time,
though T distinctly thought to myself,
"This is certainly the last" yet it was
with something Of relief at its being so
we'll over. ...'..-
Even that consciousness of existence
went, and there was nothing in place of
it for I know not how long. The whole
affair from the first injection of the NOR
phine to the complete loss of sensibility
seemed to me to last some five or six
hours; but, of course, I cannot be sure
that I am right, as I had nothing to
measure time by except my own sensa-
tions.
The next thing I have any idea Of was
the feeling of external warmth applied
to my cold body. This felt all over
me at once. Then came terrible strug-
gle within me, but in which I seemed to
have no will it was probably the first
attempt Of the involuntary organs to
commence their work again. It was
distressing, and if I had Known how to
get away from it would lave done so.
At last I became aware Of people NOV
ing about me, and Of warm sunshine
around me. With terrible effort
opened my eyes and saw where I was
out on the veranda, upon which my
room opened, with the morning sun and
fresh breeze pouring their benefcent in
huences upon me.

THE SCHOOL DIFFICULTY.

EDS. RECORD UNION The criticisms made
on several occasions in your careful editorials
concerning the methods employed in the
School Inquest" commend themselves to
every thoughtful and candid mind, The con-
duct of this investigation by the Board of
Education has been reprehensible in the high
est degree, and they are mainly responsible
for the indiscriminate injustice unavoidably
resulting from the middle into which they
have carelessly allowed themselves to be
drawn If the Board were right in choking
off further investigation, on Thursday night,
into Mr.. McDonald's competency, in general,
under the charges preferred by Mr.. Hancock,
aud in ruling out testimony which every right
minded and unprejudiced person considered
germane TO those charges, then they were
Wrong in entertaining the charge In the first
/nstance and equally wrong iii admitting the
testimony previously allowed to be given I'M
der those charges. If, as alleged by Mr..
H0rDblower, and argued by counsel for MIR.
Mcdonald, the latter was beyond the
jurisdiction of the Board on Thursday
night, by reason OF not being a teacher in the
public schools, he was equally beyond such
jurisdiction when the investigation was first
set on foot The fact is undeniable that the
Board OF Education, in their joint capacity.
have been astOnishingly inconsistent In their
rulings in this whole matter-hrst, If they
had no jurisdiction Ia the case, i'll allowing
the inquest to begin and second, ii they had
jurisdiction, in refusing to allow it to pro-
coed. From this weak and vacillating course
double injustice has resulted, on the one
hand to Mr.. Mcdonald, from damaging testi
mony admitted by the Board up to the close
of Thursday evening and made public
through the press, when he was not properly
on trial; and, on the other hand, to Mr..
Hancock and those he represents, on account
of the action of the Board IN abruptly tef-
miaating the inquiry and choking off their
most important testimony Either party
can Justly claim to have been i'll
treated by the Board. The one has
been injured in reputation and the other
placed in most embarrassing position before
the community. The Board of Education
are trustees of the people, to guard the in
terests of the public schools. To them alone
are the teachers and principals responsible,
and before that tribunal alone can they justly
be arraigned. The action of the Board in
endeavoring to shirk responsibility in the
Mcdonald investigation, by converting the
inquiry into general town meeting af-
fair, goes a great way toward proving their
incompetency to FIJI, properly and faithfully,
the positions to which they have been chosen
by the people. These structures are made in
no spirit of unfairness. The writer claims to
be as "non- partisan" as your correspondent
of yesterday, and simply DESIRES as we'll
mentioned citizen, having at heart the best
interests of our entire educational system,
that the burden of responsibility for all this
disturbance should be placed where it rightly
belongs. ZACCHRUS.
