FORGETTING THE PASSWORD. RD.-Numhcrless amusing instances might be related of ihe fix officers occasionally find themselves in by forgetting ihe password. Two sentries wrte mounting guard inside the walls of the pris-s on at F., one at each angle,s with strict cr- ders to detain any one attempting to- pass without giving the sign. The Lieutenant on his round of inspection passed the first sentry, giving the word correctly enough. When half way between the sentres, a s0und on tie outside of the wall attracted hts attention, and w while endeavoring to investigate the matter, the word quite slipped his memory. Finding his suspicious groundless.. he approached the second sentry, and was again challenged, but in spite of his utmost endeavors, he could not remember the word. Cant pass without the word, /" was all the reply given him. Returii- ing to the first sentry, he was challenged as before, but as he could not givethe word was not allowed to pass him either. No enirca- ties could prevail. The sentries, not knowing but that he was testing them. and rather en- toying the joke if the truth must be told, proved obdurate to all persuasion. Here, then. he was kept all night between the two. shivering and cold, till the gray dawn appears ed, when he was relieved by the change of guard = Chambers Journal

The education of our youth is sadly

people there is no such thing as know
ing one tune from another as with
others tits impossible To acquire facility
and hardness in the use Of tools.
Modern ingenuity has tasked itself to
make up to a suffering world for the
incapacity or negligence Of people who
never close door by the application of
weights or springs that will automati-
cally do what every man, woman and
child ought 10 do instinctively. But
these appliances themselves shirk their
duties, and they are not susceptible of
universal application.
There ought to be a thorough course
of instruction in our schools in the art
of shutting doors. The first lesson
would incucate the elemental and
simple duty itself. Boys and girls
should be kept passing doorway, each
one opening and closing the door for
himself and herself until not a mothers
son or daughter Of them could leave
door ajar. Then the finer features of
the accomplishment might be intro

slam a door; there are others who hold
it open and close it so slowly that a

colds in the head, catarrh, sore throat,
diphtheria, Inflammation of the lungs
and the epizootic can march through.

it is important that every one should be
taught to close the door and fasten it
in some way. The amount Of time

travelled all over the United States for
eleven years, and known all phases of
