 The surface of the earth consists of land and water, said bright youngster, but when asked, What, then, do land and water makeG" he instantly replied ffMud''
 In many cases it is evident that the pupils do not understand what the questions mean, When inquiring, ''What comes next to man in the scale of being?" it is rather surprising to be told it is s'his shirt'' It surely. must have been the same boy who replied that the chief end of man was ''The end what's got his head on." The first man who went around the world was, in little girls opin- ion, ''The man in the moon" consonant is "a portiod of land surrounded by water" It was "Daniel in the lions den" who said ''it is not good for man to be alone;" and ''why the lsraelites made golden calf" was "Because they hadn't silver enough to make 8 cow"
 Reports of school board examinations will form quite a public library. ''What would have happened if Henry " of France had not been murderedf' The reply was: 'He would probably have died natural death.'' "Where was Bishop Latimer burned te death?" 'In the fre," replied little fellow, looking very grave and wise An equally unexpected reply was elicited from pupil when asked, F'What did the Israelites do when they came out of the Red seal" ''They dried themselves" F'What is the feminine of friar!" First bright boy: "Hasn't any," 'tNext." Second bright boy: ''Nun." That's right" First boy, indignantly: "That's just what I saidl"
 The following is still more ludicrous. A teacher asked a juvenile class some questions regarding their knowledge of electricity and inquired which of them had ever seen 6 mag net One sharp boy immediately said he had seen lots of them. s'Where?'' inquired his instructor, astonished at his proficiency. Tn cheese" was the ready reply.
 But the good things are not all monopo- lized by the boys Some little girls were studying the history of David, the passage for the day before that which describes the shepherd boys victory over Goliah. The teacher asked the question, "Now, can any of you little girls tell me who killed the gi- ants" Quick as thought one of the smallest responded, "Jack."

AN IMPUDRNT SCHEME.

This is 8 warm time, but there is some thing decidedly cool about the scheme which certain holders of Tennessee bonds have banded together to push. They intend, it IS asserted, to urge Congress to devote the na- tional surplus to the payment of repudiated bonds of Tennessee and other States. They are said to be determined to refuse to pre- sent their bonds for funding under the pro- visions of the Tennessee law, which offers them fifty cents on the dollar and three per cent. interest until they have made an effort to push this new scheme. They count upon the assistance of all holders of securities which the States issuing them have failed to provide for and all capitalists interested in American securities generally. The latter are expected to lend their aid on the ground that such an assumption of State obligations by the national government would tend to maintain the credit of American securities of every class and create confidence in them in the European markets. It is further stat ed that they look for the cooperation of the national banks because they are concerned to have the surplus disposed of without the re- demption of the bonds on which their circu- lation is based.
 This is an ingenious scheme, and, consid- ering what has happened, it is not impossible that it may find supporters. But of course it will never succeed. The New York Times properly eharacterizes it when it says: It is based upon 8 principle that utterly con- founds the well established distinction be- tween the authority and obligations of the States and those of the Nation. AS a cen tralizing proposition it is far in advance of any heretofore put forth It is calculated to sustain the mischievous and demoralizing policy of maintaining extravagant system of taxation which already weighs like in cubus on our industries and trade. It puts premium upon repudiation and encourages extravaganza in mourning State debts which the Nation would have to pay. It would lend new encouragement to the practice of appealing to the national government to take upon itself the burdens and expenses that belong to States and even to smaller politi- cal communities

OFFSETS.

A New Bedford church has a lady cor netist. The only offset to the infiction is found in the reflection that while she blows on the cornet she cannot talk.-Boston Tran script.
 'EYes, indeed, Brown is very sick man. :" ''When was he taken ill!'' Yesterday morning l was called to attend him." 'Ah, physicians pass each other as perfect stran- gers.-Boston Post.
 Speaking of devotion to art the other day, young Megelys said, "The most devoted ar tist I ever heard of was old Siccortif de Courtney, who died the other day." ''How so?" asked Potter Clay. ''Why, he drew his last breath when he died," was the an swer.
 It is the fashion in New York to dine on the roofs of hotels and restaurants. Those made of tar paper must be rather indigesti- ble. After awhile they will be pitching their tents there. This desire to live high is what is ruining the country.-Philadelph Call.
 Goodness graeiousl and has it come to thiss A lady in the horse car remarked to her companion, "Of course, like to go away in the summer. It's such change, you know. But then it is so tiresome to have ones husband around all day!"-Bos- ton Transcript
 Sarah Bernhardt goes to South America next year. Oh, you can laugh; but she is coming to the United States, too. Isn't it awful to reflect that we have got to go through the torture of those threadbare jokes on Sarahs petite fgure-fgure 1, for instance!-Boston Transcript.
 Miss Betty was remarkable young and handsome looking woman for her years, and sne never told anyone how old she was. Gracious me- Miss Betty" said an old acquaintance admiringly one day, ''how well you kt ep your age" "Thanks, 5 she replied with smile. ''How do you ever manage to do it?'' "Oh, easy enough; never give it away. ."-Merchant Traveller.
 During the administration of Mr. Buchan- an the daughter of Senator was married in Washington. The President, Cabinet and many members of Congress were in attend ance. After the ceremony MT. Buchanan stepped forward to present his congratula- tions to the bride, prominent feature of which was hearty kiss. A member stand ing in close proximity inquired: ''Is it un- derstood that am to follow suit?" F'No, sir" replied the President, ''it is understood that kiss for the nation.''
 Late from the lodge the husband came
 Late and with staggering step came he;
 He found the door which bore his name,
 But found no keyhole for his key. He dared not ring, the luckless wight
 His wife's fierce temper well he knew; So he slept upon the steps all night
 And the chill wind through his whiskers blew.
