TEE Irish constabulary is, in some
respects, the most remarkable police
force in the world. Candidates for ad-
mission to its ranks must be over 6ve
feet nine inches high, between the ages
of 18 snd %, and sound in wind and
limb. New members ato drilled, in al
respects like recruits in the army, for six
months. They are required, also, to 90
~ school, and receive special instruc-
tions in the powers aud duties of the
police force. The statutes are explained
to the new men, snd th,y ere taught tho
proper mode of sction in detecting, pre-
venting, or a,rcstiug particular clauses
cf ofenses. No member OF the con-
stabula-y force can bs stationed in his
native county, but they are given place
in counties next adjoining their own.
At night they are armed with repeating
rifles and with swords. The whole force
can be concentrated in twelve battslions
in twenty-four hours. The feature OF
their instruction by which they are given
some knowledge Of their duties and
powers before being turned loose on tho
community might well be initiated in
American cities, the police Of which, -
. rule, are ignorant Of the fact that they
cannot with impunity infringe certain
fundamental principles Of Ang!o-Sa1oa
liberty.

ULEoAAnoAE1SE Is = word of recsnt
origin, from the French oteine, Latin
o'e"Da, oil, the thin, oly part Of fat, and
from margarine, pearly-like substance,
extracted from vegetables, oils Al animal
fats. The butter favor comes from mix
ing milk, cream and unstable butter
with colored tsllow and other unctuous
ingl edients. The lard may come from
carloads Of dead hogs, OF suet from cat
Tie that may have died In overcrowded
cars, OF animals that died Of disease, Of
even more questionable sources, like

it an awful pinch. You ought 10 have
heard her holler. Mother run in and
turned up the light. There was May
all red in the face and her hair all
hanging down her back, hoiiering:
William has insulted me, and !
won't stand it. I'll never speak to
the nasty, impudent fellow the longest
day that l live"
There stood Bill. white as sheet,
and with his red hair standing straight
up, swearing that he had never touched
her. And there was me under the
sofa ready to bust with lafIin.''
Mother asked lots Of questions, and
by-and-by she began to look as if she
knew something was wrong, and |
began to be sure l was gong to catch
it. Then she came and looked under
the lounge, and there was, sure
enough. The licking that got was
good one, l am sure, and sister May
has never half spoken to me since, but
Bill Stiles always snickers when he
sees me.
My brother Jack-he is in college
is real bad boy, hear, yet the folks
always laugh at his stories. Last time
he was home he told us that when he
went to church Sundays he always
smiled at the girls in the opposite
gallery. Then mother she said:
"Oh, fie, John, that isn't NICE
But Jack says:
"Well, l can't help it. But one
day the teacher stopped me as was
going out of church and said to me.
Young man, what is your name ?"
l just looked at her as if WAS the
greenest young man you ever saw, and
said, please, ma am my mother told
me when l left home not to speak to
strange women l wasn't Introduced to.
TAen she was mad and went and told
the president Of the college, and he
laughed at her. That was all he did. !"
Then mother laughed till she cried,
and farther roared right out and said
"That's good one. l must tell
that to the parson when he comes.
lust know that when the minister
comes he will laugh at Jacks story
and say he is sorry to hear that l am
a bad boy. hate ministers, do.
What l want to know is whether
the fanny things boys do when they
are twelve years old are bad, and why
people laugh at them when ooys are
twenty years ole, and wear high collars
and high hats l don't like good
boys, because they are all made OF
putty, and l don't believe you do,
either. So please say a good word

through the MISUNDERSTANDING system, aud favor
tho General Government issuing all currency,
making it full legal tender, and keeping its
volume uniform with the requirements OF in
creasing business and population.

5. We ere opposed to tho present system Of
allowing railroad aud telegraph monopolc. to
determine the rates for transporting persons or
property over railroads, or for tho use OF tele-
graphs. and hold that all corporations created
by law should bc governed by law in the inter-
est Of the people, and W. regard the Iowa Rail-
road Commission ~ a willfnl and intentional
Lin,irancc 10 that end.
G. We are opros to the monopoly of land,

those forfeited by non compliance with law,
shsll bc held for actual settlers.
Z. We hold that the representatives Of labor
have the right to combine to protect all their

hands of either Of the old parties, and request
them to unite with III 10 assist in gaining these

Iowa, it is stated, has SO many col
leges-almost thirty that they have all
been kept more or less weak, not one Of
them advancing to the rank Of a thor

other States as we'll as in Iowa. II three-
quarters Of all the colleges in America
were utterly abolished and their value

would be Of incalculable benefit to the
