The University of Edinburgh pays its pro- fessors liberal salaries. In the medical de- partment the average salary of five professors without practice is $11 .000 year, while the average salary of seven professors who have a private practice besides is $7,000 year. The largest salary is paid to the professor of anatomy, who receives about $17, ,000 year. All the hard work of these professors is done by assistants, whose salaries are very small
 A recent study of comparative heights and weights among different classes of popula- ton in Great Britain shows that the criminal class average no less than forty-ive pounds in weight, and four and one-half inches in height less than their antagonists, the Metro politan police. Compared with the general population, too, this class is seen to be eighteen pounds in weight and two inches in stature below the average, standing on about the same plan in physical endowments as lunatics.

One side of the Irish land question is set forth with much ingenuity in pamphlet by Mir. Wentworth Erck, in which collected more than 300 examples of judicial rents set aside by the tenants themselves. In one in- stance, among those cited by NIT. Erck, 8 tenant farmer, paying yearly rental ot e9 Is. 10d, took the usual means of securing it's reduction as excessive, the court approv- ing his plea and reducing the rent to 97. With this relief he shortly thereafter made over his holding to thrifty neighbor for bonus of e13O. The interest on this sum in creases the rental to more than f13, or something over e4 more than the amount which the court adjudged excessive. In an other case a tenant who had obtained a re- duction of his rent from e4S to e40 sold the lease for 9630, which would bring the rental up to 971 Another, whose rent was re- duced from e45 to $40, sold out to pur- chaser at price which makes the rental e92

dream Of days now long forever fled
A time when life was earnest, real and

Before the hope of happiness was dead;
Before LIES SORROWS filed my heat anew

Ambition lured to heights I ne'er attained,

The squaws were dressed in garments
made in a style neve before seen, and
perhaps never to be seen again. A straight

tribe 'folded their tents and silently
stole away to the camps among the

Wood Ashes.

Wood ashes con tain, in q greater or
less degree, all the more essential Gle,
ments or substances which form the food
OF plants, except ammonia. or rather all
those which are not abundantly supplied
by the atmosphere. The most abundant
OF these are potash and earthly phos-
pilates. The quantity of these, however.
IS very variable in the ashes of different
plants. Those produced by beech wood
contain about onc-tifth part OF phos-
pilates, while those of oak yield sea: cely
any phosphates. The powerful effect Of
wood ashes in promoting tho growth of
clover of every kind is we'll known. In

Rules for Society.

You ask me for rules OF society,
Inc ioiloWing were given to me.
Alas! though they sound pretty simple,
l fail In each one OF the three.
Inc first Is the shortest, but hardest:
Forget yoursstJ-dress. looks and all.
Not wishing you're stouter or thinner.
Less dark. or less fair, or less tall;
Forget, though your dress may be shabby;
forget, too. the go of your hair;
Forgetting. In short, all about YOU,
Remember all else who are there.
Rule two Is: Think dl,Uayy of others.
And when you are thinking be sure
10 try and discover their best points.
Don't dwell on the faults they should cure
II only you look and endeavor
You always may find something good.
The most disagreeable is never
loo utterly horrid and rude.
Remember this one has had trouble,
That other one may have feeble health,
This mar has been soured by poverty,
Another no less SO by wealth,
These two are just the exceptions.
For out of the people you meet
You'll find only one who is sour
In proportion to ten who are sweet.
1t will not be hard If you try
And then you can AWAY say truly
sin his thing he's better than III
The third rule Is: Make them all happu:
Look around to see who is left out;
Amuse the old man with the con.
Take care OF that pale looking lady,
Aud mind that she's not in the draupht.
But don't let her see what you re doing,
~ needs be, with love mix some craft.
Talk politics now to the statesman.
Converse with another on trade.
TAX OF home and friends to the lonely boy.
And OF flowers and woods to the maid.
II ever you talk Of people,
Remember the rule says: "All,"
And you must not be entertaining one
At the Cost Of another's fan.
It: your mission to make all happy,
And never to drop q speech
THAT could carry sorrow to any heart
wherever your words might reach.
After all It's the Bible maxim
That puts II shortest and best:
3 kind. DO courteous, b full Of loven-
You may safely leave the rest
