A School in Tunis.

We visited a college for young boys in
Tunis, North Africa writes a correspond
ent, The class-rooms were small, without
windows, and lighted from the entrance
door only. Little benches a foot high
were used for desks, the scholars and
teachers sitting on the floor. They all
studied aloud. Each scholar in reciting
took his seat directly in front of the teach
er, and within easy reach of his rod, both
continually swaying their bodies back and
forth. Most of the professors were quite
young men, with very intelligent faces.
French is considered very essential in the
education of boys The poor girls are not
educated at all, very few being able to
read. We only heard of three who had
this accomplishment, and these were the
daughters of the secretary of the hey.
The women spend their time in making
their clothes, dressing and sleeping,

A Peculiar Weed.

A curious kind of weed which grows
in the Arkansas valley has often proved
misleading to sportsmen. 1t is shaped
like a ball and varies in size from one
foot or less in diameter to five or six
feet, some specimens, being as tall as a
man. 1t grows upon small stem,
which is, however, stout enough to bear
the mass till it had ripened and dried,
when a puff of wind will blow it over
and snap the slender support. Then it
is that every gust of wind sends it rolling
over the prairie, bounding over bushes
and rocks with the greatest elasticity
and lightness. When the wind is strong
and high these tumbling weeds present a
most peculiar appearance as they bound
from rock to rock, and in more than one
instance hunters have mistaken them for
bisons and felt considerable irritation at
the impossibility of bring them within
range of their guns.

Church Fires.

The Chronicle states that nearly eight
hundred churches-an average of about
eight per month-have been destroyed by
fire in the United States in the past nine
years. According to the fire tables of
the above-named journal, there were
one hundred and nineteen churches de
stroyed during the year 1882, at loss of
$672, no, and loss to insurance com
panies of $312, 2S0 Among the princi-
pal causes ascribed for these fires are de-
fective flues and heating apparatus and
incendiarism. The incendiary is no re-
specter of buildings, and not only bears
his flaming torch through the thorough
fares of our large cities, but also appears
at intervals in our smaller cities and OBJ
scure country towns. Churches, and
particularly those located in country
towns, are too often built of the cheapest
and weakest material, and present strong
temptations to the inherent lovers of fires
and easy prey to the fire tiend. Church
societies owe it to themselves to pay more
attention to the building of their edifces
as well as to the prevention of fire. -
