mercilessly handed over to the curse Of

can there be any health in the State if Jim
Bishops Bureau is cut of from supplying
it to the peoplei Unless the Legislature

After long and busy season, fashion
will wind up Its follies on Tuesday, Lent
beginning on Wednesday. The peniten-
tial period begins unusually late this year,
March 10th being almost the latest day it
is possible for Ash Wednesday to fall
upon. Last year it came on one of the
earliest days, and at this time we were
more than half through Lent However,
it is better to repent late than not to repent
at all, and we suppose fashions votaries
win enter into the business of repentance
with the same zest that they gave Them
selves up to the follies of the world when
il was the fashion to do that sort of thing,
Now, however, it will be quite the thing
to go to church every morning, and for
the next six weeks the churches win do a
thriving business, and Satan viii Detake
himself 10 other fields and pastures than
are found in the haunts of fashionable life.

built 10 the section where they were most
needed; but the Board, as we are informed,
has devised smother plan, which they
believe will give greater. relief, than could
bederived from the erection Of new
building any where. It is TO devote the
money which new building would cost
to charging and otherwise improving the
school-houses already built-a scheme
which will give relief to every district,
and enable the schools to accommodate all
the children In their neighborhood, which
now they cannot do. The public will lave
no hesitation in approving this plan, and it
is to be hoped the Board will carry 1t out
as speedily as possible The summer vaca-
ton would be the best time, and If neces-
sary, the vacation may be made to begin a
week earlier and end week later There
are, as is well known. several hundred
children in the vicinity of almost every
school who cannot be accorded the edu-

have, simply because the school-houses
are not large enough. II the Board scan

deserve the thanks of the community for
doing something which no previous Board
was ever able to accomplishment if the
attempt was ever made.

Mr.. Stimets's letter. The Democratic
representation of this county in the Board
is about to retire; aud to preserve the
party equilibrium, 1t was meet and proper,
and the law required, that a Democrat
should be elected to succeed him. The
Joint Caucus met TO pick out the kind of
Democrat they wanted, and they pitched
on Mr.. Stimets. But, he writes, II must
very respectfully decline the honor Of the
nomination; for, while / am not strong
partisan, consider that it would be dis
honorable in me, however much / should

fact IS, Mr.. Stimets isn't Democrat at all
and the JOINT Caucus knew it when they
selected him; but they thought he might
consent to masquerade in the disguise they
had picked out for him, and SO put him in
nomination under false colors. He does
himself credit in declining, and he fur
nishes strong illustration. too, of the
practical outcome of the vaunted nom
partisan legislation of last Winter. And
it is the expected outcome of that legisla-
ton, toe. The non-partisan bills OF last
Winter were not passed to take the School
Board out of politics, as these noisy
patriots proclaimed, but to get it into
politics on their own side. And the selec-
ton of Republican Stimets as Democrat
shows just how they expected and intended
to do it. But then no one had any idea
it would be given away SO soon and SO
forcibly.

sensation is felt similar to that which a

a bough of the espinosilla in the water

Napoleon III In 1s56..4
@rhe explosion of the nihilistic bomb
in Newmarket square brings to my mind
the attempt to murder Napoleon H.

THAT attempt WAS made, if my memory
serves me, in 1856, in one of the summer
months. l was a young man then and
had resided in Paris some years. at
tended a performance at the Italian
opera house and stood in the crowd
watching the approach of the emperor
and the beautiful empress Eugenia. The
royal party was attended by the guides,
or guards of honor, and when it entered
the Place de Opera three or four bombs
were thrown from the crowd. They ex-
ploded in the midst of the soldiers and
near the carriage. The emperor was
not harmed, but a piece Of shell went
through his hat. Some twenty-five
soldiers were killed and many wounded.
There were three of the would-be
murderers-Orsini Pierro and De Rudio,
all Italians, as their names Indicate.
There was a fourth man supposed to be
in the conspiracy-a DIR. Bernhard, OF
London, who manufactured the bombs.
Napoleon III. If yoI remember, re-
sided in Italy before he became president
of France. While there he became q
member of an Italian society, whose
members took oaths to make every en-

his breast. 1t was a CHASTITY scene-in
the early morning, before light, with
smoking, flaring torches all about. He
stood erect upon the scaffold, and was
strapped to n board from his feet to his
neck. Then the executioner touched the
spring. Orsini fell forward to his face,
and at the same instant the heavy, dull
blade of iron came darting down upon
the back of his neck, and rebounded to
its notch in the top of the scaffold. The

Methods of Protection Against Thieves.
Every large jewelry house has its Sc
cret methods of protection against
thieves. There is one place on Fourth
street that numbers among such
a popularity effective and ingen-
ious arrangement. 1t consists Of
a mechanical floor surrounding
the floor of the vault. For n space
of about ten feet the planking rests upon
delicate springs that would be instantly
depressed by the slightest weight. This
depression brings together the two poles
of an electric battery, and notifies the
police through an annunciator that there
is something wrong. The connection
with the battery is made every evening
at @ o'clock, and after that hour no one
is allowed to approach the vault doors.
In addition to this there is another in
sulated wire passing through the side
of the safe, behind the door and into the
steel knob of the combination. The least
turn would send in an alarm over this.
There is only one man in the establish
ment who understands the secret of
these two alarms. He has an interest in
the place and attends to setting both of
them before he goes home to supper

The man who has to carry a bundle
can never have quite as high an opinion
of himself as he might otherwise. 1t uIi-
sexes n man who is compelled to keep
it up. There are few things which make
a man appear so confoundedly awkward
as to go pushing through the street or
into a vehicle with a bundle under his
arm and his pockets bullying out with
others. 1t is like trying to find the
pocket in one of the modern and fear
fully made dresses for a man to handle
a bundle with ease and grace. A woman
may be so heavily loaded with packages
and bundles that no one would recognize
her. and yet she would carry them in a
graceful, if not an easy, IL
A man can't carry one bundle with
any sort of grace or ease. He puts it
under enc arm, and it works its way out
and slips down. He tries to catch it on
the calf Of his leg and totters over. Two
to one he loses his hat or, perhaps, falls
fiat on his face. Picking up the bundle
he puts it under the other arm.
1t either works its way IL or the
string gets united and the contents fall
out. If he gets into a car with it he is
sure to drop it. STOPPING in a crowded
car to pick up anything is not a pleasant
job and is seldom accomplished without
some calamity following. Then a man
can never find a place to put a bundle,
no matter how many receptacles there
may be in sight. He will hold IN to a
bundle if he has to drop a baby. Any
wife who will insist upon having her
husband load himself with bundles every
time he goes to the city might as well
put the petticoats eH-fHm first as last.

A missionary writing from Japan
gives currency to the report of a Kioto
papcr that the various Buddhist sects
have agreed to join their forces to com
bat the inroads of Christianity, and even
to begin a campaign of aggression by
sending missionaries to America, En-
gland and France to propagate their re-
ligion. Perhaps they were encouraged,
he thinks, TO attempt the conversion of
people in other lands by the recent addi-
ton of two American professors to the

ure, and one is a graduate of Harvard
