A Sleepy Old English Village.

An odd account is given by the
Western Morning Ne0S, of Yealmpton,
an English village within seven miles of
Plymouth, with population of nearly
thousand
Newspapers are not delivered till thirty
four hours after they are printed, and the
delivery of letters is of very meager
kind. This obliges the inhabitants to
resort to all sorts of shifts to obtain "a
bit of news" Interesting items are
scribbled on pieces of paper by those who
travel from Plymouth to Yealmpton, and
these are pushed under the doors of lead
inhabitants, who communicate the con-
tents to their neighbors. The vicar, who
receives 9480 a year. has long been
practically past active work, and was not
particularly active when he had health
and strength. Services are conducted in
fashion on Sunday mornings and after
moons, yet they are of such kind that
few beyond the wears household attend.
The vicar knows so little of his parish
oners that quite recently he directed that
some clothing should be sent from a
local charity to a man whom he had
buried four years ago.

The Earliest Rank.

The term bank is derived from. the
Italian banco, a seat or bench, Hause
the early custodians and dealers in
money in Italy were accustomed to sit on
benches in the market places of the prin-
cipal towns The earliest public bank
es ablished in modern Europe was that
of Venice which was founded in 1857.
About tn year 1850 the cloth merchants
of BARGE pa, then a wealthy body,
added the business of banking 20 their
other COMMERCIAL pursuits, being author
lied so to do by an ordinance oEthe King
of Aragon, which contained the import
ant stipulation that they should be re
stricted from acting as bankers until they
should have given sufficient security
for the liquidation of their engagements.
In 140l, bank was opened by the func-
tionaries of the city, the first of the kind
ever established in Europe.

Electrical Cremation.

An electrical crematory is said to have
been devised by a process described as
follows: The body, being shro ided in
sheets made of asbestos is laid upon a
frame composed of fire brick, while at
the head and foot are large copper plates,
to which the lSp2s from specially CON
structed dynamos of large electro-motive
force are attached. The body apparently
occupies the o,ition of the filament in
an incandescent lamp, and upon the cur
rent being pas cd through it, would be
instantly carbonized; while, as the air
would have free access to it, the process
of destruction, or rather decomposition,
would be immediate. The process APP
pears TO have the recommendation of
great rapidity Of action, and freedom
from many of the objections to crema-
ton in the ordinary way, and admits of
several little improvements upon all rec
ognized forms of burial Fire. Press.

SUPERsTITIoUs HUMANITY.-From the
time that King Saul went down to Endor
to get an old woman to disturb the dead
prophets rest down to last night, when 81
900 st. Paul people crowded into tie Expo
sition rink to witness spiritualistic per.
formance. there has been no interruption in
human desire to deal with the supernatural
and TO know something of that which lies
beyond this life. Although but few confess,
it is nevertheless true that superstition is a
principle with majority OF people. There
isn't one individual out of n thousand who
can be persuaded to start on q journey or 10
begin any important business operation on
Friday. And as for getting married on
Friday, there isn't u man or woman on the
two civilized continents but would shudder
with horror at the thought of such thing.
| And yet, if pressed for q reason Of this su-
perstitious adherence of Friday, the only
| response that would be given is that Friday
is an unlucky day. There isn't one person
| in ten who will pick up pin unless the
point lay before them. To see the new
moon over The wrong shoulder is the cause
of more apprehension to some people than
the approach of cholera. There are families
who would rather sacrifice all their house
hold goods than to move cat on the first
Of May although the family was only going
to move into the house just across the street.
Breaking looking glass has brought more
sorrow and dreful apprehension to young
hearts than war and pestilence.-St. Paul

THE PRINCETON GLEE CLUB.-The Glee
Club of Princeton College, n. j., have laid
aside for brief period their books and ath-
etic sports to sing their college glees and
some of the popular songs of the day. The
club is Il representative institution of the
college, and position on it is bee that con.
stantly buzzes in the ear of the modern un.
dergraduate. For weeks he is compelled to
snatch an hour or two each day from his
studies or his pastimes, and devote them to
a systematic training fhis voice. The club
is very charitable in it's motives. 1t has
been known to liquidate church debt, to
pay up pastors back salary, buy church
organ, add shekels to missionary society
treasury, place several cots in charitable
hospital. and accomplish other worthy OBJ.
jects. Many of the songs rendered by the
club are never heard outside the college
walls, and there they awaken the liveliest
enthusiasm and endear the undergraduate
to his class and his college. The tunes oi
some of the songs rendered are familiar to
every street urchin, but in the words lies
the novelty.

WHERE KISSING STILL FLoURIsHEs.-
ment of prurient literature there has grown
up in Sunday schools and temperance socie-
ties with a close membership an equally
astonishing development of kissing games.
The old-fashioned out door kiss in-the.ring
of school-treats and the equally harmless
forfeits played land paid) beneath the mis-
tietoe have given place to a set of kissing
games in which teachers and senior scholars
indulge for hours together, and which form
the great attraction of many gatherings. X
1t was our painful duty to visit a
London Sabbath school entertainment
where these things were being carried on
from six in the evening until midnight. We
protested verbally, and then left an en-.
teri tainment where we felt the presence of
God was not being recognized. 1t began
with can-can in which, to an idiotic song
and tune, first the upper then the lower
members Of the body were raised and swung
about. After this an hour was spent in
"kissing and hissiDg." Then came the
great treat called "the army" Marching
around in pairs these sunday school teach
ers went tarough a drill in which "present
arms" and fire volley" meant embracing
and kissing between the sexes. When we
state hat the male teachers" knelt down
before their partners 10 embrace them, and
that six "volleys" were ordered at ouce, or
that kissing in that posture was ordered to
couiiuue until The word "halt" from the
fugicipau, the reason Of our departure and
strong indignant protest will be evident
