Secular Education I'm Japan.

A returned missionary, who has been
many years in Japan, has just been
showing some curious effects Of culture
in that country. II seems that the
japanese have seized upon the idea OF
secular education with great ayidity.
While only 1000 children go to school
where religious knowledge is a part OF
the curriculum, over 100000 attend
where the teaching is purely agnostic.
The young men develop keen love for
metaphysical doctrine and research, but
their favorite authors are Mill. Spencer.
Darwin and Huxley. As this tendency
is accompanied by great demand for
English teachers, however, one would
think that the missionaries had the
means OF opposing il in their own hands

lille Child aud big Dog.

An amusing scene occurred on Essex
street, near the Phillips schooihouse, this
noontime. Two large dogs, weighing
perhaps 100 and 1870 pounds respectively
engaged in short and savage battle
which ended by the lc) pound dog re-
firing. Just as he turned tail little
girl about 9 years old rushed in on the
scene, grabbed the 1870 pound dog by the
collar, kicked him in the ribs, caiied
him soundly over the ears, and then
dragged him triumphantly from the
scene, the big brute submitting with 0
shame faced air, and his head and tail
down in an attitude indicating that he
realized his naughtiness, and acknowl
edged the kicking and pounding as de
served. Salem News
