only he, but all others who had sinned
like him, should be forgiven, and that

fifteen years debarred them from re-

proposition was put to vote in the

mitted sinner had the power to remit
the sins of his fellow-sinners; this ex-

led in transgression against his country.

A Democratic Protest.

During the late controversy in the
National House of Representatives over
the Mackey-Dibble election case,
after several days opposition by Demo-
Gratis to prevent the contamination of
the great outrage, the Republican ma
jority secured an amendment to the rules
which enabled them to dispense with
Democratic obstruction. After the an
nouncement of the vote had been made
Mr. Cox, of New York. offered the fol-
lowing protest:
Whereas, The minority of this House have
heretofore, under the rules of the House, sue
consider the case of Mackey us. OConnor be-
cause proper hearing has not been granted
to the contestee by the Committee on Elections

Whereas, The minority have ogered to pro-
coed to the consideration of the case (Mackey Us.
OConnor) as soon as said allegations forgery
and fraud in the evidence submitted by the
contestant have been duly investigated; and
and avoid such Investigation, have proceeded
to change the rules in a manner not provided
for in the rules in which alone they can or
ought to be changed; and
Whereas, The Speaker has made ruling

I'm Corsica the octopus, first boiled

The ancient Romans called leader

the others of the crowd were invariably

The rule is that the storm signal is
ordered up at a station when the indi-
cations are that the wind will reach q
velocity of twenty-five miles an hour,
without reference to snow or rain.
"A novel blowing arrangement is
reported from Monroe, Ga. A negro
was opening a furrow, with mule
hitched to the pillow. Behind him came
girl dropping seed. The man had u
sort of harness on and was pulling an
other pillow, which was guided by the
girl to cover the seed. Having but one
mule he put that on double duty by
making it help pull him, while he drew
the second pillow. This economical ar
rangement must have put the sturdy
plowman's strength to a severe test.
The recent discovery of a bag of
watches on Jericho Beach, Scituate,
Mass, reminds Mr.. Welcome Fits that
in 1850 or Whereabouts he found q bag
of watches in the cabin of a wreck that
came ashore, and buried it in the sand
as temporary expedient. Since that
time he has not been able to find it,
and he very naturally thinks that those
now found are his friends of 80 years
ago. The surprising point is that every
man in Scituate doesn't remember
burying bag of watches in that
locality.
Recently, at Melville, a wagon
loaded with four thousand pounds of
goods passed over the foot of Louis Mil
Ter, milkman. The wheel passed be-
tween the toes and instep. The wagon
was in such position near building
that the foot could not be extricated
without having the wheel pass over the
crushed member a second time, which
Mr. Miller suffered, and despite his Sc
we're injuries is selling milk to-day in

ton under the circumstances.-Irov

And now the soft, sweet, balmy
days come floating along, showering
roses in the fields and making the birds
sing on the budding boughs of the Or
chards. The brooks are beginning to
purl, and the stage driver is laying aside
his army overcoat and getting his straw
hat in condition. The farmer is raising
lettuce, and the hotel man is raising his
rates. The woodman is cutting down
the maple, the old lady is cutting down
the paternal overcoat to make the boys
trousers, and the yellow dog is cutting
down the street with kettle.
The French habit of employing
dates when speaking of important po-
itical events, is, doubtless, very con-
venient, but, all the same it is rather
puzzling for the reader who hasn't fol-
lowed French politics closely. For in
stance, republican paper remarks in a
leading editorial: ''The men of the
10th of May have nothing to fear from
the men of the 4th of September, unless
new 18th of March, resuscitating the
days of June or those of May, should
conduct us to another I'd of December.

A PROBLEM.

Sandy and Ned were brothers;
Ned was older than Sandy;
And they were busy dividing
A stick of peppermint candy.
Ned was earnestly trying
To make the division true,
And he marked the place with fish-hook
Where the stick ought to break in two.
But. alas, for little Sandy
And his poor painstaking brotherl
Twas Il long and short division
One piece longer than the other.
Ned gravely looked at the pieces
And their quite unequal length,
And he wrestled with the problem
With all his mental strength.
And, at last, he said: s'Oh, SandyI
/ can make it come out right,
If take the piece that's longest,
And bite off just one bite
Their four eyes beamed and frightened
AT this plan, so very handy,
Of disposing of the problem
And distributing the candy.
So Ned ate the pieces even
Twas the simplest way to do it;
And he cheated little Sandy
And they neither of them knew it'll

How Spiders Seek the Light.

At the last meeting of the Academy
of Natural Sciences the Rev. DR.. Henry
G. McCook reported the results of ex-
periments recently made by him on the
subject of the sensitiveness of spiders
on light. The brood of young spiders
which he had for some time been study
ing in his library were found to dispose
themselves during the day on lines of
web upon which the light from win
dow fell with the most effect. On the
approach of evening, when the study
lamp was Lit, they moved in body
toward its beams, and when the position
of the lamp was changed it Immediately
produced a corresponding change of
resting place in the brood. During his
studies of the winter habits of spiders
he had recently found adult specimens
of Epeira Uulgaris at Atlantic City
which had evidently survived the VIM
ter. Although the season had adj
vanced somewhat, there seemed to be
very few young. which might be due
to the fact that they had been eaten
either by the old spiders or the stronger
young ones, as there seemed to be but
scant supply of insect food in the vicin-
ity of the webs. He mentioned in this
connection that, although the spiders in
his study had been supplied with water
only since their escape from the cocoons.
he had not detected among them the
slightest disposition to eat one another.
Prof. Lewis stated that saltigrade
spider confined by him in glass tube
was evidently able to distinguish the
waving of handkerchief at a distance
of six feet. In connection with the re-
ported cannibal habits of spiders, the
President stated that the common wheel
or saw-bug, Reduvizs aoueaaariats, GER
tainly eats its young. The President
also described colonies of the white
aphis and red coccus kept separately as
captive herds by species of little red
ant of the genus lasius. philadelphia
North american.

Music for Children.

Fear is entertained by some parents
that their children will begin the study
OF music so young that literary tastes
will be crowded out. This is an error
arising from the supposition that child
can devote all it's attention and time to
literary studies until it reaches degree
of accomplishment in that line, and then
turn to music and do likewise. The rea-
son of so many failures in such an at
tempt is plain--too numerous are the
physical and mental wrecks who have
attempted such task. No child can
work without play. Music is the lead.
ing popular plsything of The present
day, especially among the lady workers.
1t ought not to be generally called bu-
siness pursuit, but rather pleasure pur-
suit. Therefore, it will ever be more of
an auxiliary than a &C mpetitor of other
s udies. To illustrate, student who is
a musician may usually be observed,
when an instrument is within reach, to
seek no ether respite from his hooks
than musical rehearsals; and to feel the
z.st Of inspiration for study arising from
such recuperation nne needs only Try
this sort OF heaven. Some of the great
est and purest minds are the result of
this course of treatment from childhood,
and am positive that when one half the
present play hours OF children can be
employed in music, We shall have one.
