Ny mother welcomed Munette, and
when | related the sad story of how
found her, the sympathetic woman
took the child in her arms and kissed
her a few days afterws rds, when !
returned home after a short absence,
she flashed upon me in a CAV red dress.
She was more of a child than | had
ever seen her-mOre s. than [ had
thought it possible for her to become.
My mother was delighted to see her
innocent pranks, and l, for the first
time, kissed the child.
''You have kissed me at last" she
said. lis it because L look better in
this dress?"
1T IS because you look more like a
child. Before, YOU reminded me so
much of woman.
''Do not women like to be kissed?''
laughed and my mother, shaking
her head can see her gray hair now
said: "Ah, Ambrose, our young
girl has very old head"
We sent Munette to school. The
teacher, a man who had the reputation
of being profound, met me one day and
said:
Look here, Munette is the most re-
markable child [ ever saw. She has
read so many books and makes me
such wise observations that l am con,
stantly surprised. To tell you the
truth, | cannot advance her Not that
| am not intellectually able-ahem-
but er-because do not think that at
her age it would be safe. Therefore |
would advise you to take her from
school. l know the effect that too
much learning has on youth. l know
how narrowly escaped"
When spoke to Munette, she said:
That school is a very dull place. 1t
is a constant hum of arithmetic.
don't like to cipher, as the children
call it. Fractions make my head ache
and miscellaneous examples make me
sick. Let me study at home"
| took her from school. She was a
devoted student, but was never so alb
sorbed that she was oblivious to the
little attentions which woman of NV
mother age prizes so highly. Munette
grew rapidly and was pleased to see
that she was daily becoming more
graceful

met by The Tribune scribe last evening in the

Russia, in 1884.

The Russian N0UOe VreaayG reviews
the year of 1884 in a series of articles,
in which the affairs of the empire as a
whole are described as being consider
ably better than they have been for
some years past. The maintenance of
order, the establishment of better con-
troll over the administration, and the
regained dignity of the organs of gov
eminent have been especially marked
in the past year. The commission for
the reform of local administration has
counted among its members not only
those who advocate the Capitalization
of power, but the delegates of the self
governing party have been invited to
all the deliberations. One of the great
reforms marking 1884 is that of the
Russian universities, although it will
be long time before the benefits are
fully appreciated. New statutes for
ecclesiastical seminaries and acade-
mics have been made, and attempts
have been made to increase the influ-
ence of the clergy in secular schools.
A special commission has been prepar-
ing scheme for the establishment of
a system of technical schools such as
are common in Sweden. Measures
regulating the employment of children
in factories have also been legaliZed.
Among administrative reforms the es-
tablishment of the government in the
Amur district and the incorporation of
Poland in the empire in matters con-
corning the organization of the affairs
of the peasants are the most important,
Curiously enough, the financial posi-
ton has considerably improved in
spite of the continued commercial and
industrial depression. The expert
ment of building state railways having
proved too expensive, the construction
of the line Npvorossisk, Rostof-Vl adi-
kavkas will be conceded to a private
company. Recent legal actions against
banks have shown that the legis-
lation concerning them is in need of a
radical reform. The St. Petersburg
maratime canal has been completed,

course of development, and the canals

Transcript, recently returned home
from a short visit to his old friends
in Michigan. While in Tecumseh, that
State, the local reporter cornered him

dents are always interested to know
how our new citizens speak of this gen.

We raise wheat, corn, oats, rye, ETC.,
in abundance. All these crops yield
bountifully, and in addition we raise
immense quantities of garden truck and
small fruits. Our water communica-
tion gives us the best facilities for tran
