TRAVELLING EYANGELISTS.

Cincinnati Commercial -GaZstte.
Some of our religious brethren of the
press, including the editor of the Western
Christian Adoocate, are beginning to see
that the travelling eVangelists who go
about the country stirring up sensations
are not the most commendable agents in
church work. Strange it is that the truth
has been SO long breaking in upon them.
In years past it was painful to see the
churches given over to the monkey
shines of boy preachers and slang sling
ing evangelists, hired at fancy prices,
while the pious old ministers of grace,
grown gray in the service of the Mas
ter, were required to take back seats. 1t
was folly, though to breathe a word
about this then, for he who dared had a
storm of wrath hurled upon him as one
denOuncing the work of salvation. So
has it been also with the prohibition en-
thusiasts, who have broken loose in late
years, assuming to array the Church on
their side, and charging those who OppOs-
their indiscreet movements with being
public enemes of all that is good. Some
of these were so unwiSe or dishonest as
to ally themselves with the avOwed en-
emies of the cause they affected to es-
pOuse, in order to defeat their more con-
servative friends, and avenge imaginary
wrongs But time sets things right
Patience has its reward. If they who
labor in the right have time to wait,
they will win at last.

DISTRICT SCHOOLS.

Columbus Dispatch.
Judge Dial, writing upon the town
ship schools, made strong point against
the present great waste of money in
keeping open, upon full pay, more dis
trict schools in many of the townships
than are necessary, the number of pupils
being less than is required by existing
law and due regard for reasonable econ
Omy.
The law requires not less than sixty
pupils to each sub-district, by enumera-
ton, except in cases where, in the Opin-
ion of the township board, it is neces-
sary to reduce the number"
What is the result? BY some process
which is working great injustice to the
people at large, this necessity to reduce
the number" has resulted in 400 school
districts in Ohio, with an enumeration of
less than twenty-five, and scores of sub
districts numerating less than dozen.
The cost of running these small schools
is practically the same as the cost of OPP
Grating a school with from forty to sixty
pupils. The reason, we assume, why
the legislature made the legal number
of pupils to district sixty was because
out of that number it was evidently be-
lieved there would be likely to come
enough children to give teacher proper
employment.
In the counties wherein the practice
of making Sub-distLictS, with smaller
number of pupils to each than is legal,
is in vogue, the extra cost, according to
Judge Dial, is from $1,000 to $4,000.
The nearest the General Assembly can
come putting a stop to this needless
waste of money the better for all con-
cerned. The main question, which should
be settled by the Albaugh bill, is the
nearest approach the General Assembly
can make toward wiping out the sub
district lines and giving the townships a
board of education elected by the peo-
pie at large. This, as Judge Dial says
is the only way in which the financial
evils complained of in the sub-district
system can be eradicated.
But, of course, there may be obstacles
in the way of doing, at this time, all that
ought to be accomplished in this direc-
ton. The obvious course, under those
circumstances, is to do the next best
thing which points in the direction of an
ultimate wiping out of the sub-district
lines.

THE HELL OF THE DRUNKAED Is DEEP.

He stood on the walk
In a duSter arrayed;.
ON his cuffs there WAS chalk.
Meath his hat. no pomade.
His sleeves were frayed AT the edges;
Ger his bosom his coat lapel stayed.
Bitter cold was the air.
His blood felt like ice.
As p0rterhouSe rare
He'd been done neat and nice
BY a chap who could juggIe the pastrboard
With preStidigitatiye device.
The wind cut him through
Like the edge of knife.
His nose it was blue,
But his memory rife
With the thought Of that last glass of whisky
For three fingers he'd have bartered his life.
His vest was in'pawn.
No friend said Good day.
This poor fellow forlorn-
Now. how could he pay
For glass of dcectahle piZen
That would drive all his SorrOwS away?
"Oh Lord. muttered he
In pitiful way,
Must my job alluS De-
To beg night and day?"
Then he uttered this fateful inquiry:
'Why don't some rich cove pass this way?"
''Say, mister" he said
To chap passing by,
Who looked sleek and well fed
To the buns bleared eye:
won't You give a poor snoozer nickle,
Who wants square meal for TO buy?''
The chap ran his hand
In his pocket so deep
Such scenes in this land
Make the angels To weep
Then he gave the poor rOunder this tractlet:
"The hell Of the drTmkard is deep
Earnest JdTT-0ld.

A QUAINT SAXON CUSTOM.

Among some of the numerous corpo-
ration customs in England may be men
toned the blowing of the "BurghmOte
Horn" by the sound of which the men,
bers of the corporation were, in days
gone by, summoned together. This Gus
tom probably dates back to Anglo-Saxon
times, having been in some places con-
tinued until our own times. At Ripon
an ancient horn is preserved, which is
sounded every day. ''If a visitor should
remain in the city," writes Mr. Walbran,
'during the evening he may hear the
sounding of the Mayors horn. 1t for
merly announced the setting of the
watch, whence the chief officer of the
town derived the Saxon style of wake
man. but it is now of course lapsed into
formality. Three blasts, long, dull and
dire, are given at 9 o'clock at the Mayors
door by his official hOrn-blower, and one
afterward at the market cross, while the
seventh bell Of the cathedral is ringing.
1t was ordained in 1853 that it should be
blown at the four corners of the cross at
> O'Clock, after which if any house on
the gate sod within the towne' was rob
bed, the Wakeman was bound to com
penSate the loss if it was proved that he
ana his SERVANTS did not their duty at
the time. CdSseFS MGgdzilie.

A ROYAL CIRCuS RIDER

THE PASSION FOR HORSES WITH WHICH
THE EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA Is POSSESSED.
Philadelphia Times.
The Empress Elizabeth is now seldom
seen in public. Her withdrawal from
public has its good reason, as she is af-
| flicted with rash on her face, which
makes her shun society In IschI, one
of her favOrite summering places, when
ever she appears on horseback her face
is concealed by heavy veil, and when
she is driven out she has the habit of al
ways holding fan up to her face, even
when returning the greetings of her royal
admirers. The wicked people of IschI
say she does this because of her affiiction.
However, it must be said that when the
Imperial lady is on horseback she has
very beautiful, slender figure, and that
she rides in wonderfully graceful man
ner.
And no wonder, if all the stories one
hears are true. The people of Vienna
used to have constant grievance that
the Empress never showed herself in
public except when RenZ's circus came
to town, and that then she was seen in
her box every night, while she never at
tended the opera or the Burg theater.-
The Empress life in Vienna was, few
years ago, as interesting and curious in
its way as was that of King Ludwig, of
Bavaria, at the LinderhOf, or at HOhen-
schwangan. She knew only one passion,
and that was her love of horses and horse
riding. She had her own special riding
establishment attached to the Burg in
Vienna, and there only the jockeys and
Mile. REM had admittanee. There she
ruled supreme. Glorious specimens of
hOrseflesh were trOtted out, the Imperial
lady mounted, and then the fun COM
menced.
She was not satisfied with the ordinary
exercise of hOrsewOmanship, but was as
skillful in what is called the high school
of riding as the most finished circus ri
ders. She dressed, too, like the circus,
and standing on the backs of two steeds
would drive tandem team before her at
a relentless pace around the ring, having
fresh relays of horses every few minutes.
The Imperial lady was not content with
this alone, but could vault through the
hoop as well as the best of lady profess
sionals. Indeed, she lived with and for
her horses, and had place fitted up in
the stable of her favOrite charger where
she could sleep if she felt so disposed,
and where she frequently dictated letters
to her private secretary, while her favor
ite horse looked over from his stall and
was patted fOndly by his Imperial mis-
treSS.

THE ORIGIN OF LEAP REAR.

A correspondent of the New York
World thus writes as to the origin of
Leap Year:
"The custom observed every fourth
year of permitting the fairer sex to as
sumo the rights and prerogatiyes apper-
tanning to their brothers during the re-
naming three is very ancient one
When it originated is not definitely
known, but law enacted by the Par
lament of Scotland in the year 1888 is
doubtless the first statutory recognition
of the custom. The law was as follows:
1t is statut and ordaint that during the
refine of Her Maist Blissit Megestie, ilk
fourth year, known as Leap Year, ilk
maiden ladye of bath high and low es-
TAFT shall hae liberty to bespeak We man
she likes; albeit, gif he refuse to tax hir
to be his wyfe, he shall be mulcted in
We summe of ane dundis or less, as his
estait mott be, except and avis gif he
can max it appear that he is betrOthit
to ane ither woman, then he shall be
free
"WhO can say, in the face of such
testimony, that the rights of woman
have ever been diSregarded?"
