AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK.

knew a young lady who had every
thing which usually constitutes the
happiness of those who have not yet
climbed the golden stairs of matri-
monial paradise. Her age was twen-
ty; she was a brunette of graceful
figure. with a peculiarly animated ex-
preston of countenance. Her COM
plexion was rich and warm, her large
gray eyes were merry, and her feat
ures would pass muster among sculp-
tors. At receptions held in the armory
of the Twenty-third regiment she was
always observed with admiring in
terest and she had beaux by the
score. Well. at length she came to a
decision. and I heard of her mar
riage. / knew the young man whom
she chose and was startled. That was
five years ago. A year ago l was rid
ing uptown on car. The car was
crowded, and stood by the front door
reading. 1 heard my name pronounced
and looked down, but did not at first
recognize the face which was family
smiling at me. II was weirdly pale,
and wrinkled, and care worn. l looked
puzzled for few moments. and then
it dawned on me that this was the
wreck of one of the rrettiest girls in
Brooklyn. I accompanied her as far
as the door of her house. 1t was

in to-day" she said; my rooms are
somewhat disordered." l said moth

to see her trying to keep up the pre-

and prosperous. A week ago I heard
that her husband was in the lunatic
asylum and her baby dead. Now she
has gone home to begin life over
again. She had married man to re-

Here is an average of nearly eleven
hours a day of actual and often Sc
we're mental application. Pupil No. l
studies as a rule until midnight; the
next until eleven O. clock; the next I'M
til midnight; also the next. and the
next; No. 6 studies from seven until
midnight, also No. Z. while No. rare
ly gets through before one in the
morning. No. 13 says: IF 1 learned
my lessons perfectly every night l
would have no time to go to bed at
ALL" No. 80 is actually employed
eleven hours and quarter with study
and does most of the homework; con-
sequently she gets only six hours and
a half sleep. In all these cases ''com-
positions add about three hours of
extra work each week.
This is worse than murder. This is
preparing pupils to enter an insane
asylum. 1t is fact that not one girl
out of twenty can stand this sort of
thing and then enter upon successful
career as teacher without becoming
a physical and mental wreck. This is
the worst form of inhuman treatment
that can be devised No brain can
ever attain its best possibilities with
eleven hours day of actual applica-
ton. The pedagogues who demand
more of a pupil than the pupil can
gain in eight hours. or rather six
hours, of application. are destroying
the brain power of their pupils.
Whether thsl limited to pupils who
are preparing to become teachers we
do not know. Probably not. But
parents should consider this fact, that
the child who spends six hours day
in the school-room should not be al
lowed to study after school hours.
Teachers are not there merely to hear
recitations bat to instruct; and if they
can not give child in six hours all it
is capable of assimilating in day
they should go out of the business -

How to Rear Children.

One great point is to treat them
kindly.
Do not preach politeness and pro-
priety to them, and violate their laws
yourself In other words. let the ex-
ample you set them be good one.
Never quarrel nor have any I'M
pleasantness between yourselves or
with others in their presence. If you
must quarrel wait till the children are
gone to bed. They then will not see
you. and. perhaps, by that time you
may not want to quarrel
Never speak f1ippantly of neighbors
before children. They may meet the
neighbors' children and talk about it.
Teach them to think that the little
boy in rags has heart in spite of the
rags-and a stomach. too.
Teach them. as they grow older,
that respectful demeanor to others,
a gentle tone of voice, kind DISPOSE
ton. generous nature, an honest
purpose and an industrious mind are
better than any thing else on earth.
Teach them these things. and self-re-
lance, and intelligence, and capabil-
ity will come of themselves. Teach
them these things. / say. and your
boys and girls will grow up to be
noble men and women. Pioneer

SOME RELIABLE SIGNS.
A Set of Weather Signals Equal to Thos
Issued by Professional Prophets.

A Set of Weather Signals Equal to Those
Issued by Professional Prophets.
Many papers. from time to time,
print lists of Natures storm signals.
such as: Foxes barking at night in
dictate Storm" and ''Wild geese flying
over in great numbers indicate ap-
preaching Storm"
Not to be behind the times in any
thing, Puck has prepared the follow
ing set of weather signals, which may
be relied upon as being invariably
correct:
When you see a man going down
the street in new liver colored over
coat and shining silk hat with no
mbrella in his hand, it is sign that
there is going to BE- rain before night.
When you see a man purchasing a
fast horse and a thirty-pound cutter in
Novem Der. it means that the winter
will be mild, with little snow.
When you observe a man buying
tickets for trip to Florida, to enjoy
the balmy zephyrs during the month
of March. it is safe Indication that
we are going to have a very carly
spring, full of anemones and blue birds;
and that Florida is going to be torn
up and scattered about by the initial
blizzard of its existence.
When man drops the portrait OF a
burlesque actress out of his pocket at
home. and does not notice it, it is an
unfailing sign of q cyclone.
When your pump is broken and the
cistern runs dry, it means that there
will be no rain for at least three
weeks.
When you go away on visit for a
day or two, and forget to turn off the
water, YOU may look for the immedi-
ate approach of cold, pipe-bursting
weather.
Laying in carload of coal in the
autumn. because it is cheap, means
that there is going to be a summary
winter.
When you purchase a rubber over
coat, it is an unfailing sign of a
drought
When you live on splendid hill.
and can not afford the luxuries of a to-
boggan and fire-wood. it means that
there is going TO be cold. crisp wealth
er, and snow-storm that will stay on
the ground two months.
1t is not necessary to give any fur
Their examples. The value of these
hints could not be increased by print
ing any more. They SHOULD be pasted
in the hat of the weather-crank for
ready reference. They will be found
quite as trustworthy as the ancient
signs of pigs with straws in their
mouths, and the daddy long-legs
pointing his longest member in the
direction of the coming tempest, and
even as that infallible indication of n
rainfall. the Quakers coming 10 town.

ton. The sacks are laid out in the
open street and block up the whole
thoroughfare but for a narrow pas
sage through which the camels thread
their way. Passengers have to scram-
BILE along as best they can. The sacks
are heaped up two or three strata
high. 1t is arduous work clambering
over them. The goat-hair bags make
slippery surface. but if you fall. at
leastyou are not hurt These sacks.
when they are of the full size. weigh
about two kintals (say $50 pounds)
apiece, aud two of them form a
camel load. 1t is curious that
you never see more and never see less
than the two sacks. Some kind of
prescription fixes the burden, quite
without regard to the capacity of the
bearer. Some of the camels are
sturdy beasts that could easily bear
more than five hundred pounds on
their backs. while others are weak
and weary; the load is always the
same. Into these two streets at mar
ket time come the Greek merchants,
who are the middlemen in the fig
trade. Indeed, there are many mid
dlemen. and several series of profits
are realized before the article reaches
the consumer AS rule, the Greeks
sell to the packers, who in turn sell to
the shippers; though sometimes the
shippers buy and pack fer themselves.
The packing is, perhaps, the most
characteristic stage in the whole
process. First, there is the re-sorting,
and this duty is trusted to women,
Turks and Christians working togeth-
err in perfect peace. The sorting
done, the fruit is carried to
the pullers and the packers.
The pulling is not pleasant to think
of. The mentor it needs the
strength of male fingers-sit in long
rows on each side of temporary
table made of two boards on trestles.
They sit on stools; squatting on the
ground has quite gone out now in the
towns. Beside each packer stands a
pile of empty boxes. and near every
two or three is placed large fiat
basket full of sorted fruit. and beside
the basket can of salt and water.
The man chooses the fig he intends to
pull, and then. dipping his hand in
the salt water fattens it between his
fingers, at the same time splitting it
near the stalk He then places it in
the box. Long practice gives great
perfection in the arts of pulling and
packing. You see the fruit distrib-
uted in rows so neatly that a knife
might be dropped between them with
out cutting any of the fruit Nearly
all of the figs packed for export are
'pulled." The salt water bring out
the sugar. which, in about three
months, comes to the surface, when
the fruit is in the best condition for
eating. m Y. Commercial advertiser.

A LEAP FROM THE CLOUDS.

Prof. Hogan, the Aeronaut, Makes a OAR
ing and Successful Descent with a Para
chute From an Altitude of Ten Thousand
Feet.
JACKSON, Mich, April 5.-Prof. Hogan
made magnificent leap from his balloon
shortly after noon yesterday. The first
attempt at an ascension was failure, but
the second effort was success, and the
ship soon reached a height estimate
at nearly ten thousand feet. At this ele-
walton the balloon seemed to stand still,
and by the aid of glasses Hogan
could be seen edging over the side of the
car. Suddenly cry went up,
f'He's jumped!" and the crowds craned
their necks to see the man dashed to
pieces. The parachute failed to work at
first, and the daring aeronaut was seen to
start to the earth with lightning speed. A
moment later, however, the umbrella
shaped life-preserver opened its wings,
and Hogan's rapid descent was checked.
From that point he dropped slowly, and
reached the earth safely in four minutes,
at point about one and one-half miles
from the city. The foolhardy man dropped
five hundred feet before his parachute
opened.

CALLED AWAY,

Death of Benz amin H. Brewster, Attorney
General of the United States Under Pres
ident Arthur.
PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-Benjamin Har-
riS Brewster, ex-AttOrney-G of the
United States, died this morning.
Benjamin Harris Brewster born in Salem
County, n. j., October 10, 1916. He graduated
at Princeton College in 1854, in the same year
entered the law office of Eli K Price, of Phila-
-delphia, and was admitted to the bar in 1886.
He was appointed by President Polk as COM
missioner to adjudicate the claims of the
Cherokee Indians against the Government. On
the breaking out OF the rebellion he was most
jealous in his support of the Government. In
1867 he was appointed Attorney General
of Pennsylvania by Governor Geary. Short
ly after the assassination of President
Garfield and the resignation of Hon. Wayne
MacVeagh, he was appointed Attorney General
OF the United States by President Arthur.
Mr. Brewster was versatile and brilliant
esSayist, a correct, original and profound think
er, a graceful eloquent and forcible speaker,
and was known in private life as a man who
was always open to the appeals of charity. He
had been suffering for long time with kidney
disease, but his condition was not considered
serious until the closing days of February, and
even then he was able to be out part IF the
time. A relapse, however, came on one week
ago last Saturday, which resulted in his death
this morning.
The funeral will take place on Friday
next, at 3 p. m.

CAB-MEN OF PARIS.
A Large Proportion of Their Number Sal
to Be Educated Men.

The French capital contains a small
army of about 5000 cabmen. who,
strange to relate, are mostly well edu-
Gated men who have seen better DAYS.
Quite large proportion of their num-
Der are unfrocked priests of the
Catholic Church. 1t is we'll known
that of the vast body of young men
who are brought up to the priesthood
and ordained only a comparatively
small average are fortunate enough to
obtain appointments to the relatively
limited number of parishes at the dis
posal of the ecclesiastical authorities.
The remainder. with no resources at
their command. and dependent for
their daily bread on stray mass here
and there, now drift into courses which
result in censure and ultimately in: de-
crees of suspension on the part OF
their diocesan superiors. In order to
realize the magnitude of this
evil in Catholic countries. it
may be of interest to state
that in Italy alone there are to-day
over 35, 900 of these suspended and
unattached priests. whose adventurous
and precarious existence constitutes
grave and serious danger to the COM
munity. In Paris, fortunately, how
ever, the profession of ''cocher de
facre" absorbs to certain extent the
overflow of the seminaries; and hence
it happens that the astonished traveller
is occasionally dumfounded by the
correct manner in which his ''cabby'
renders the translation of the Latin
inscriptions on the public buildings
and churches, or interlards his witty
and intelligent remarks with an apt
Greek quotation. Occasionally also
broken-down noblemen, such as the
Marquis Tregain de Treguillec and
the Comte de Chevronay, belonging to
the most ancient families of Brittany
and Savoy, respectively, together
with disgraced schoolmasters, ruined
trades men, and considerable num-
