The Rev. George L. Perrin lectured be-
fore the Young Mems Christian Union o.
Boston recently, the subject being ''Thc
Ideal Newspaper" He admitted the
wide influence of the press, and said that
by detailing the history Of each day and
keeping men informed Of passing events
it immensely broadens the horizon
their observations and enlarges their sym
pathies. Then he gave his idea Of an
ideal newspaper.
First Of all, it would be a newspaper,
its first object being to find out and tell
what is going on all over the world It
would persistently aim to tell the exact
and uncolored facts, SO that in every
item of news the opponents of the paper
would accept them as unquestionabIy as
its friends.
The ideal newspaper would not be sem
sational. There is money in such sort Of
journalism, but SO there is in many other
things equally disreputable.
The ideal newspaper would be indie
pendent; independent of all party man
ayers, cliQues, sects, and quacks. It
would not be mere trimmer for the
largest circulation, but would be bold,
aggressive, full Of ideas, and fearless to
express them.
The ideal newspaper would be moral
in its aim. It would not undertake to
justify itself in pandering to the morbid
cravings of its worst constituency on the
ground that there was money in it. AS
daily historian, commentator, teacher,
and advertiser it would stand above its
constituency, and by emphasis, space
and comment be moral in its aim.

A very simple and valuable code of ice
signals has been published by Mr.. F.
Wyneken, of New York, which, the
Herald says, commends itself to officers
of transatlantic steamers. Mr.. Wyneken
divides the North Atlantic ice regions
into squares Of one degree of latitude and
longitude, and the most dangerous part
of this region into smaller areas, inserting
in each area on the chart two letters.
By the use Of the International Code Of
Signals any vessel which has sighted ice
can warn other vessels she may happen to
pass by single display of the new ice
flag" in combination with the flags of the
International Code corresponding to these
letters. By the adoption Of this code a
steamer approaching the ice region can
quickly ascertain from any vessel which
has crossed the Newfoundland Banks
just where ice was seen, and what kind
of ice (whether heavy pack, icebergs or
light field ice). Such ascode, the Herald
thinks, ought to be introduced at once
into all steamers sailing between Europe
and America, as it wonld undoubtedly
contribute very materially both to the
celerity and safety Of their navigation.

A Japanese Race Course.

We are just in time to see His Majesty
the Mikado arrive, sitting dressed in
dark uniform in his well turned d-out Ian
dau, and surrounded by an escort of Ian
GERS, who look smart enough in their
green and red uniforms. His Majesty
ascends to the royal box, to the some
what dismal strains Of the japanese ma
tional air. Close behind him arrives the
one and only four-in-hand in Japan,
owned by an eccentric American. The
dark painted drag and well matched
team Of dark ponies look smart enough; !;
but progression through the streets of
Toxic is slow, a groom having to run at
the head Of each pony, and outside Toxic
there is but little road fit for such a turn
out. And now five ponies emerge from
the paddock for the first race. Few Of
the Japanese PONIES exceed IA 1-2 hands,
but many of them are neat, well-built
animals, inclined to be weak behind, but
with fair enough turn of speed. They
are nearly all riden by Japanese jocks,
who are very light and fair horsemen, but
inclined to get excited and lose their
heads, and fog their mounts long after
the race is over
/ 1t is not my intention to describe the
racing, most Of which would be consid-
cred very poor sport anywhere else,
though some of the finishes were really
good, one resulting in dead heat. Suf-
fee it to say that a programme of nine
races per diem was successfully carried
to conclusion in three days. A vast
amount of time is always lost at the
starts, and the last race each day is often
run in the dark, SO much so that have
seen groom run into the middle of the
course at the finish, holding big lantern
in his hand, in order that the Judge might
see which animal passed his box first.
Wonderful to narrate, the ponies did not
seem to object to this proceeding in the
least.
A curious feature Of these meetings is
the day fireworks, which are sent up from
the island during the racing. They con-
sist Of fireworks in smoke, if may SO call
them, and are often extremely pretty.
Rockets are also sent up, which explode
into paper balloons Of various fantastic
forms, fish, birds, beasts, men, etc, which
float away gracefully in the air, to the
vast delight Of the crowds Of Japs who
throng the edgesof the course and the
hills around. AT dusk these give way to
most brilliant fireworks, the grand stand,
the island and all the houses round being
gorgeously and tastefully illuminated
with thousands Of Japanese lanterns.--

Where Children Abound

Speaking of Madison Square, the New
New York World says We challenge
the world to show such nosegay Of hu-
manity. Roses, lilies, peaches, nectar
ines, with here and there berry from
the Antilles. Girls with long tawny
hair-Undines la mode. Sturdy boys in
Knickerbockers, with their sailor hats.
Spidery boys, who seem all legs, on
roller skates Children with their round
frank eyes looking straight into your
own. with that calm, guileless look
which the angels may but mortal man
can never assume. Babies in their
nurses arms looking straight up into
the blue heavens; their wee wet mouths
and pulpy cheeks, all lawn and lace and
lightness, like thistle down, with halo
Of purity about them suggesting thoughts
of the breath Of hay, the COO Of doves,
the chirp Of chicklets, spring meadows,
running brooks, and all that is fresh in
nature. Children, children, children
everywhere, with their round, frank eyes,
round mouths, round faces and little
round noses. One grave and thoughtful
as little judge, dark haired. ox-eyed,
serene; another like turquoise butter
fly. Here an infant on it's nurses lap
breating breath as sweet as any fawn's;

HEARTsEAsE.


A single pangy-velvet eyed
The flower she loved so well to see,
When life was young and brave and we
Roamed mid the violets, side by side.
How sweet the sunlight ON the leas
As buds and blossoms, trees and birds,
Seemed charmed to silence by her wordsi
And in her hand this sweet heartsease.
Too short those daysI The tolling bell
Long since proclaimed with solemn sound,
That she had left us heavenward bound:
And now this flower she loved so wsl
Looks at me, with remembrance crowned,
Her grace deep in its velvet eyes,
And, many hued, its beauty lies
Upon her grave and all around
Hove it WELL And, if God please,
Its modest beauty, memory fraught
With raptures from those glad day.
caught,
Shall bring me then, indeed, hearts ease,
Though now pilgrim, bent and gray,
Upon each velvet blossom plays
The kindly light Of vanished days,
And pictured scenes long passed away.
So, when God takes this life He gave,
Plant pansies thickly DER my mound,
And let those flowers she loved be found
In sweet remembrance on my grave.

s'Hippophagy is nowseldom heard Of


"Hippophagy is nowseldom heard Of, :"
says the London ST. Janses's Gazette. GA
few years sgo it was strongly advocated
in many quarters; but the British public,
although ready to swallow almost any
thing in the way of food put before 1t,
never took kindly to horse-fesh, and
turned deaf ear to the persuasions Of
those who recommended the adoption of
this kind Of diet. It is probable, how
ever that horse-fesh Is often eaten un-
awares, and that its consumption is far
more common than is generally imagined.
Butchers whose consciences are not ten
der occasionally, it is to be feared, sell
horse-fesh as ordinary meat to unsus-
pecting customers. An attempt is about
to be made to put matters in this respect
on a more satisfactory footing. At a
meeting held recently for the purpose
of e,iciting an expression of opinion
from the butchers Of Manchester and Sal
ford with regard to the sale Of horse
flesh as human food, it was decided to
appoint a committee for the purpose Of
getting an act of Parliament passed to
compel butchers who sell horse-fesh to
label it as such.

The Cleveland Press permits little
facetious diversion in its State news col
umn, which is conducted by young
Norwalk newspaper man named Foster.
It is appropriate to say that he is unmar-

FACTS FOR the CURIOUS.


According to a New York medical
journal one-half Of the adult men in
America, living in our cities, are bald
headed.
Several specimens Of English fora are
said to have been exterminated BY mod
ern tourists, plant dealers, and botanists,
the lady's slipper, orchid and the holly
fern having disappeared among others.
Speaking of the musical perch of the
Ohio River, W. H- w. says: THE hum
ming or singing is produced by two cor
rugated bones in the mouth or throat,
which they rub together, and the sound
is on the principal of the violin or musi-
cal glasses.
Among the wonderful products Of art
in the French Crystal Palace was shown
q lock which admitted Of 3, ,e47, 3s5 com
binations. Heuret passed 100 nights in
locking it. Fichet was four months in
unlocking it; afterward they could
neither shut nor open 1t.
The heavy-armed Roman foot soldiers
had helmets, breastplates, greave-,
shields, spears and two-edged swords.
Each legion had also band of cavalry
with lighter arms; also had its own ar
tillery, not cannon, but battering rams
and machines for discharging great
stones.
After the Norman conquest of Eng
land the King and the upper classes
spoke French, and the English school
children were taught in French. As it
was fashionable to speak French rather
than English, those who wanted to ap-
pear "genteel" always tried to do SO. In
those days it wasn't English, you
know
The Scotch in old times reckoned the
value Of man in cows. A King was
worth 200 COWS, a Kings son or an
Earl $50. The lowest mentioned is forty
four cows, and a little money as well.
Even this man must have descended
from thane, 50 we dc not know the
value Of plain man. ANY one who
killed man of mark had to pay forfeits
in accordance with the aforementioned
figures.
A pet black squirrel owned in Savan-
nah, Ga, was left at home while its mis-
tress went away for visit. AS soon as
the little fellow missed her he hunted all
over the house, and, not finding her,
showed unmistakable grief. He refused
to eat day after day, until it was so evi
dent that he was starving himself to
death that his mistress was sent for.
When she came the squirrel was frantic
with joy, and then it tried to eat, but it
had tasted too long; it could not swal-
low, and the next day died, lying on the
knees Of its mistress.
