IT was all out of place, you know, and very
reprehensible. but it was an incident that will
set many to thinking that the world is better
than we believe and that under all the guise Of
worry, and business, and pleasure there ever
runs clear stream Of natural veneration and
undefled religious sentiment It was in the
great Central Park, Of New York city, and the
day was Sunday. The keep off the grass
signs had been taken down. and tens Of thou
sands Of people smeu, women and children
gathered to hear the band play. It was
great treat in every respect, and when the
band struck up ''Old Hundred, there was "a
grand chorus from thousands of throats" Sin
and suffering are everywhere Why not carry
the melody and grace into every nook and cor
ner Of this great green world of oursg The
command Isl "Go We into all the world The
churches will take care of themselves, while
some Of the excellent things there enjoyed may
well be handed out to the hungry multitudes

ORDINARILY a man is supposed to be able to
identify himself except, perhaps. at the bank,
where some other man who doesn't know half as
much about himself as he himself does, must
swear that he knows more. And if ever in q
mans life he is supposed to say Il am myself
without mistake or wilful equiyocaton, it is just
before death. Still, there seems to be exceptions
to all rules, to this as to all others, and James
Brady, of Baltimore, if he were alive, would be
chagrined by the knowledge that his relatives
thought he lied when he claimed to be himself.
The short of the story is that Brady
found himself in Chicago and in the act of bur
glarizing house, when policeman he had in
advertently awakened, shot at and MORALLY
wounded him. At first he refused to reveal his
identity, but told that he must die, he finally
said his name was James Brady, and that his
relatives lived in Baltimore. The relatives were
notified and the remains shipped to them; but
when they opened the casket they pretended to
believe that a mistake had been made, and re-
fused to recognize the body as that of Brady.
The issue has not been settled but the public will
undoubtedly side with the corpse and take its
word in preference to that of biased relatives.

IT isn't well even for a newspaper reporter to
know too much, or even to pretend to know more
than other people particularly in Canada. Mr..
Dillabaugh, Hamilton correspondent of the To-
ronto Mail, has been placed under arrest on a
charge Of aiding and abetting certain parties to
blow up certain buildings belonging to her
Majesty. Mr.. DiIlabaugh, with a laudable de-
sire to infuse some life into his favorite journal
conceived the idea that dynamite scare would
be about the proper thing. He did not carry
any cartridges in his pocket but the real article
was not necessary in the carrying out of his
plans. He simply wrote the following note to
the contractor of the new postoffiee buildings:
Some Irish Invincibles are going to make
an attempt to blow up the new postofice on the
night of July II They belong to a society in
town. A few from Buffalo society will be
here, and have supplied the stuff. Mark my
words
Mr.. Dillabaugh naturally supposed that great
excitement would follow the receipt of this note
and that he could secure material therefrom fer
thrilling "write-up,' which would establish
his reputation as a correspondent and, perhaps
result in an increase of salary The expected
excitement did not Immediately occur but in
stead came period of ominous silence, which
was ended by the unexpected arrest and incar-
ceration of the writer Of the note, who had been
run down by detectives. The excitement and
sensation which were finally experienced existed
mostly in the mind of the enterprising Mr. Dilla-
baugh, who now languishes in Jail He will
probably spend portion of his now leisure time
in resolving henceforth to devote himself to the
markets and the weather, or similar safe topics

In England children have some rights which
school teachers are bound to respect. A child
in a London school was punished by the master
for not having learned certain lessons which it
had no time to study except at home. The pa
rents protested, and the case being carried into
the courts on a charge Of assault made against
the teacher, the magistrates decided that home
lessons set by teachers cannot be enforced. An
appeal to a higher court brought the same deci-
sion. The opinion is said to have been received
with general satisfaction, which was the great
er from growing belief among observant people
that children were being overworked in the
schools
