The Best Boy in School.

For twenty-five years, or thereabout,
has been observed at the Chauncy Hall
School custom which is unique among
the schools of the country. 1t is vote
by the boys and girls of the school for
the best boy in school. No conditions
are imposed, save as they are implied
in the explanation which is given to ac-
quaint the young people with the pur-
pose of those who established the prac-
tice. Each pupil is free to vote for
anybody of the school who has been a
member for any length of time, except
since December l last. AS Mr.. Ladd
said in his remarks, it has been the GUS
tom to select a boy from the oldest class,
but it is not compulsory to do so. For
mer members of the school, not all of the
same class, but intimate friends there,
believing that prize given on the prin-
ciples they proposed would help in de-
veloping a manly spirit at the school,
began the practice of giving medal to
the boy who receives a plurality of the
votes of the school as the best boy. At
noon yesterday the scholars were gath
cred in the school-room, and after other
business Gncluding an explanation of
the medal system of the school, based
on absolute, not relative, merit, so that
a medal is within the reach of every
pupiD, Mr.. Ladd explained the intent
of the gentlemen who give the best-boy
medal. 'This does not mean," said
he, "the best classical scholar, nor the
most noted catcher or pitcher at base
ball, nor the ablest mathematician, nor
the best-drilled soldier, nor the most
elegant declaimer, nor the fastest run
ner, nor the most accurate Shaks-
perean scholar, nor the pluckiest
fellow at football. You young boys
will do well to vote for the
person who seems nearest to what your
father and mother want youto be-what
you mean to be yourself wher
you are in the first class; and
you, young girls, will do we'll tc
vote for the boy who comes near
est to being what your parents are try
ing to have your brothers become. The
older scolars are tolerably familiar with
ancient and modern history. Vote fol
that one of your number whose charac.
ter comes nearest to the noblest men OF
whom you have read" All the school,

officers passed the ballots, and each pu-
pill prepared his own. At the head he put

An EmperOr's Little Joke.

The late Emperor Nicholas happened
one day to be engaged in inspecting
State Penitentiary in one of the provin-
cial seats of government, and took it in
to his head to question some of the con-
victs respecting the nature of the Of
lenses for which they were suffering
punishment. "What are you here forP"
he asked of one. 'I am innocent, I'M
perial Majesty" replied the prisoner,
falling on his knees; ga victim of false
witness! A church was robbed bea-
die knocked on the head-the peasants
caught hold of me, and knew nothing
about it." Similar replies were given
by other prisoners. The Emperor, OBJ
viously bored by these Successive prot
estations of guiltlessness, cast glance
along the line of prisoners until his eye
fell upon ragged, wretched-looking
gypsy, whom he beckoned forward with
the words, "Of course you, too, are here
on false chargeP' s'Not bit of it,
your Majesty" replied the Tsigan; ''it
is all fair and square as far as | am con-
cerned. l stole pony from trades.
man" "Stole pony, did youP" said
the Car, with a laugh; and then, ad-
dressing the governor of the prison with
well-assumed sternness, "Turn that
good-for-nothing rascal instantly out OF
doors. l cannot allow him to remain
minute longer in such honorable and
virtuous company, lest he peryert all
tSese good, innocent people!"

more. She improved on Nick's receint.
of course, and soon was not able to bake
enough pies to supply the great people
of the Allspice Islands-often having or
ders ahead for nine hundred pies. When
she became rich she gave the recent to
a poor deserving young man who had
saved Nick from drowning while he was
playing around the wharves one day.
"After Hephzibah gave up the pie
business she was married to the Exceed-
ingly Grand, etc., and in that way she
became the Exceedingly Grand Admir-
aless of the Allspice Islands. Nick was
given gold collar with his name carved
on it in graceful fiourishes, and was ar
rayed daily in purple and fine linen.
Hephzibah also sent q copy of the re-
ceipt to England, and there it was that
aunt Debby learned to make these mince-
pies"
The Professor happened to be pass
ing by Uncle Toms store just as the
story was finished, and he heard such q
stamping of feet, clapping of hands,
pounding on tables, and uproarious
laughter that he went into the store to
see if some of his boys were not miscon-
Quoting themselves. But the moment
he saw Uncle Toms jolly face he only
smiled and said, "Nou too boisterous,
boys" and pretended he had come in
purposely to order some jelly-cake for
Mrs. Professor.-JdnteS B. Marshall, in
