SAPRlSTll MORBLEUI
Common Continental Oaths of a Very Mild
 Type Indeed.

1t is curious that we arc quite un- able to realize the cnormity of some of the cOmmoncst continental oaths. We can, of course, to d certain extent, ap- praise such terms as sacrc, sapristi and morbleu (euphcmistic for mort dicu), but on the other hand we wholly fail to appreciate the swearing value of mille tonncrrcs and tausend don nerwetter Even though these latter be regarded as an invocation of Thor, the god of thunder and summer heat. we can not sec any thing very dreadful or juratory i'll them. Anglicized they become perfectly harmless. and indeed would be welcomed in the room of some of our own more opprobious idioms. ''Thunder," or even "Thun- der and lightningm we consider very temperate exclamation; So, too. thought the author of the tragic story of the bagman's dog, which may be consulted with advantage on this head. Applying the Johnsonian maxim of "claret for boys, port for mon and brandy for heroes;" we should cer- tainly be inclined to class either or both of them with the claret. nay, even with the yet milder variety of Gladstonian claret, a vintage happily unknown to the learned doctor. To our insular minds they convey abso- lutely no idea of impropriety. We might go about Donncrwettering for ~ month together and not feel one atom the better for it, or the worse; while our character for propriety and decent speech would not be one whit dam. aged, whatever might be thought oi our sanity. The German soul, how ever, is conscious of a distinct sense of relief after judicious indulgence in the same pastime. Hence we are confronted by the strange paradox that what is a round oath in one coun- try is not even smart ejaculation in the next -Macmillan's Magazine

 There is some satisfactory evidence that the duration of human life is greater than it was half century ago pr. Todd, president Of the Georgia Medical Society, affirms that mortuary statistics confirm this theory Thu. the average of life in France is now forty-fvc years, against thirty eight fifty years ago. The present average found in fifty cities and towns in En- gland ho places at fifty. He claims that the United States leads all other countries with an average duration of ffty-fve years These estimates are extremes. IL is probable however, that the average duration of life in this country is gradually increasing Temperate living prevails t0 a greater extent than ever before. With tenn peranco and moderation there is less excitement. consequently more rest and more sleep. It is certain that the gift of Sleep goes with longevity San Francisco Bulletin

 In former times education, especial ly in countries where the masac. did not constitute the governing class, was Q largely private affair, with which the State had nothing in particular to lo. AS parent clothed lis child. so he educated him; and the quality Of the clothing and the cxtcntof the edu- cation depended upon tho mean, and wishes of the parent. This Govern mcnt was basel upon the principle that there should Dc no politically privileged class and that with the u- iv,duals of tho community should rest tho governing power. That q government of this kind might be success general intelligence was nccCs- sary; and as none were to bc privi- legged, equal advantage had to be given 10 all Tho State, therefore, c.tab- lishcd schools ana became an educator, thus relieving the parent of d part of tho responsibility in tho rearing of his child. Because the State has assumed a part of the parental office. there has been q tendency on the part of parents to throw too much responsibility upon tho shoulder, of tho State The public school is apt to bo looked upon as an intellectual and moral mill. The mill CT places corn in the hopper and it comes out ground In much the same way many a parent p'acos child in a school and expects him to come out, at the end Of the course. branded: "Educated, mentally and morally. At- test; O- K-, principal.' Teachers generally agree that there is d sad lack of cooperation on the part of parents of school children, especially when they have reached the high schools or upper grades in the gram mar schools. Too many other parents leave the whole matter of the child's progress to the child and the teachers It is pre-cmincnuy the duty of tho teacher 10 instruct and to discipline, and il is equally the duty of the parent to cooperate with the teacher in every possible way. The parent should bo interested in helping the child to form studjous habits and should superin- tend the progress made The parent should teach the child that going to school is q business and must not be neglected The objects of the teacher nad parent are identical and they should work together Boston Globe,

Your Picture on a Stamp.

The latest fad in photography is the portrait stamp. This unique device is miniature photograph on piece of paper the size of a postage stamp. It is gummed on the back side and is used in a variety of ways. In writing to absent friends the portrait is pasted at the head of the letter or in place of the signature. The stamps are also used on birthday and wedding cards,
 programmes of entertainments, and in autograph albums. Businessmen who are anxious for notoriety use the stamp on the outside of letters. The idea is English. and the photograph stamps have been in use on the other side for several years. They are now being introduced in this country. The cost of the photograph is 50 low that large sale is expected.-N. '. Mail.

Noted Artist Tells SQncthing About Ho
 d Battle Is Nketchpd

Battle Is Sketched.
 Many persons have said that since my duty was only to sec. and not to fight, they should think that I would not be shot at, and so did not incur much danger Of being hit.
 Ordinarily. of course. the fact is that, in a general engagement. special individuals who do not seem to be prominent are seldom selected as tar gets, but if your own chance is no worse, it is surely no better than that of others near you. To really see a battle, however ono must accept tho most dangerous situations, for in most cases this can not possibly be avoided
 There have becn occasions when some industrious sharp-shooter tro ub- led me by a too personal direction of his bullets No doubt the man ro- garded me as somebody on the other side, and considered he was there to shoot at any thing Q, any body on tho other side. My most peculiar experi- ence of this sort was having a sketch book shot out of my hand and sent whirling over my shoulder. At an other time, ono chilly night after the day of q hard battle. as I lay shiver- ing on the ground with single blan- ket over me, forlorn soldier begged and received a share of the blanket. awoke at daybreak to find the soldier dead, and from the wound it was plain that but for the intervention of lis head the bullet would have gone through my own.

 "A man who has roughed 1t out among tho mountains" it was sad at a sales-stabe the other day, 'remem- bers the mules about as well and as long as any thing"
 It is just about at this time, the speaker told when asked why the mlnd should be particularly impressed by the familiar quadrupod that good many are rounded up for the summer work after being turned out all winter, As natural to expect a mule that has had no restraint for several months IS inclined to show the worst side when the hand of would be master begins to be felt.

FACIAL PERCEPTION.

Remarkable Fact Bearing on the Subirc
 of an InrecoEnized sense.
 Mir. w. H. Levy, who is blind says in his book, 'B.indness and the Blind, that he can tell when he is opposite an object and clnA2rcotvr whether it is tal-9r short, sleadag or bulky. He can also determine whether it be solitary object or continuous fence; whether d close fence or an open one. and sometimes whether a wooden fence stone wall or a hedge
 None of tho five senses have any thing to do with this perceptivo power, but the impressions ara made on the skin of his face and by il trans mitted to the brain He therefore names this unrecognizod sense Facial Perception.

In this condition the bats flew about the room, avoiding the sides and flying out of the door with out touching the door-case.
