Where he Delivered the Milk.

Senator Sherman lately had seven
tons of coal sent to his residence in
Washington. The manllole Of tho sewer
is near the hole IN the sidewalk down
which tho coal should have been
shovclcd. But tho intelligent colorcd
man in charge of tho operation put all
the coal into the sewer! This reminds
the Portland Transcript Of the blunder
of tho Chelsea m:lknan, q story tho
late Ethan Spike used to tell. He had
been in the habit of leaving pint Of

of the window of a basement kitchen.
Ono morning. in the absence OF the

was very deaf, happened to be in the
kitchen when the milkman called
Not finding the basin put out rs usual,
the milkman raped impaticntly on
tho window until he attracted tho at
tcntion Of tho old gentleman, but he
couldn't make him understand what
was wanted. Finally, after much

from tho outside. the old man thought
of his car trumpet. lie opened tho
window and put the bowl OF tho trum.

steads.

In the case OF Webster againgt Bowman
ct al. in the United States court, at St.
Paul Judge Nelson recently denied q motion,
and in doing SO cnunciatcd u very impor-
tant principle, towit: The title to u home
stead remains exclusively with the
government until the final patent tn
the hOmcsteader is given, and no mort.
gage upon it is valid. 1t liz understood
that there are IL good many lomcsteads in
Minnesota which have been mOrtgagctl
while the homcsteader had not fulfilled al
the conditions Of ownership, and that n
large number Of mortgages have been fore
closed: and this decision, il subsequently
sustained, would render all those fore
closures and sales under them invalid. Il.
II. Bennett OF Worthington writes making
tho following inquiries:
First-Was the date o? the mortgage
prior to the receiver receipt?
SecOndEHOw was the receivers receipt
obtained-that is, did the homcstcader
commute by the payment Of money, or did
he got it by virtue OF scrvingin the army?
To these inquiries Samuel Appleton, at
tnrney for the plaintiff. makes the following
replies:
The mortgage was dated and money
loaned on the day OF the
entry OF the homestead. The final
receipt was not received until some
time after the mortgage was given,
and the homestcadcr was credited
ON his five years by the length of time he
served i'll the army. The mortgage was
held void, because ut the time it was given
the land belonged to the government, and
not to the ho,nesteader until he received
his final certificate.

Acopy of q letter sent by Pope Leo XIII.
70 the Roman Catholic hierarchy OF Eng
lsnd has just been received in Baltimore
by Archhi.hop Gibbons. the primate OF the
ter 70 Christian education.
The Pope commends the ereat vigilance
o. the clergy in looking after the Christian
education of the children Of England. He
encourages md pr,sises them and assures
Them OF his special commendation and
good will In the prosecution Of their meri-
tortous work. The laity also come in for
share OF the pope's commendation Tor
shetr readiness to supply what is needed
lot tho maintenance oi the schools; not
only the wealthy contributors, but those
who are OF very slender means and poor.
The pope then continues: I'm these days,
and in the present condition OF the world,
when the tender age Of children is tempted
ON every side by SO many and various
dangers, hardly anything can be imagined
more hitting than the union with literary in.
struction Of sound teaching in faith md
morals For this reason we have more
than once said that we strongly approve oi
thevnluntary schools which by the work md
ltbcrality Observation-Disclosures have been es.
tabltshed In America and elsewhere. Wedc.
sire their number Increased as much as pos.
eshle.f We ourselves. seeing the condition ol
eAtnks in this city, continue with the great
est effort and at great cost to provide an
abundance Of such schools for the children
ot Rome, for tits in and by these schools
that the Catholic faith our grcatest in.
!eritance, is preserved whole and entire.
In these schools the liberty of parents is
respected ,and what's most needed especial
" in the prevailing license OF opinion and
action is supplied by these schools. Thus
good citizens are brought up for the state;
Tor there il no better citizen than the man
who has believed and practiced the Chris.
tian faith from his childhood. The future
condition Of the state depends upon tn,
enrly training Of the children. The wisdom
OF our ferefathcrs and the very foundations
Of the state are ruined by destructive errors
of those who have children brought up
without religious education. You see,
therefore, venerable brethren, with what
earnest forcthought parents must beware
oi entrusting their children to school in
which they cannot receive religious teach

of tacks into u bed occupied by the
editor of tho Linkv;llc Star. When
the veteran of tho quill showed his legs
between the sheets and tho tacks pcne-
trat"d his tender pink skin, he sat up
in bod and inquired OF yours truly
whether our bed had any insect inhab.
itants. Ho said hc was experiencing
sharp pains like wasp stings. We re.
marked carclcssly that while such
pains were almost invariably followed
by paralysis we hoped he would live
until morning. He made another dive
under the covers. A cold clammy
frog was disturbed and began drawing
its Shiny length up the journalists off
leg. Two more awosc, stretched and
yawned, and with cxultant croaks,
performed Il doub'o clog on thJ
alarmed mans stomach, which was
more than he could stand. Ho gave "a
yell. and sprang into tho middle of the
room. "I.oos, Loos," he cried, "I'm
growing cold-thc paralysis is sottin'
in. Go bring two doctors, Il preacher
and gallon of whisky, for I'm nearly
a goncr." just then frog jumped
out of the bed and struck him in tho
small of the back. As We had struck
light tho time honorcd journalist com.
pretended the situation at a glance,
and rs he piled tho bed sheet, in u
corner hc remarked good naturcdly:
