''First Day" in a countsy School.

"Please remove your hats" she said. Each of the smaller boys turned toward the largest and first conner, and, upon seeing him take off his flop" hat, they very prop erly removed their own head coverings Six mops of light hair were revealed, and the row of white heads sat and looked fixedly and solemnly at the teacher. The oldest boy presently shifted his position and glanced in- quiringly about the room, and tA4 smaller white heads also shifted their positions and rolled their pale eyes about the room with questioning glanoes. With b ok, Ivy called the largest size of the assortment up before her, and the rest of the white headed band rose promptly and ''lined up" beside their brother. He turned stern face toward them. "Set down and stay tharl" he cona- manded, and, without a murmur, they re- turned to the bench, and gazed at She teacher and the boy in much the same manner as if they had expected to see the latter instantly torn to pieces by the former,

POLITICS IN FRANCE.

This is not the only country where
politics is absorbing public interest.
France is in the midst of political excite
ment, which from reports, exceeds any
thing likely to be experienced here IN that
line even during this presidential year.
The central figure over there is General
Beulanger who, it is said, is lacking in
none of the essential elements Of first
class candidate. He has supplied him
self with bureau that is industriously
circulating his political views, and he Is
now engaged in making campaign
tour through the northern provinces III
the most approved campaign style. He
is received in about the usual manner,
being treated on the one hand with over
whelming applause and shouts OF pleas
ure from adrniring people and on the
other hand with Kisses and contributions
of decayed vegetables, and the other in
cidental tokens of popular displeasure.
At one place where he spoke the dispatch
insigniicantly said that he was greeted
with showers of flowers and eggs. Thus
his admirers and his foes both extended
a characteristic welcome. AS Boulanger
is a good campaigner and understands
all of the veterans tricks in kissing the
babies and complimenting the women he
will undoubtedly return to Paris several
thousand votes stronger than when he
went away.
