A singular and important case has just
been decided in Paris, aud through it an in
sursnce company has found out what fire
10. The Countess Fitz James insured against
fire all her furniture and effects for 559, 900
francs, and in her policy were mentioned her
jewels, among which figured specially pair
OF earrings, composed of fine pearls, valued
at $4,000 francs. One of these earrings
which had been placed on the mantlepiece
was accidentally knocked down by the Count
ess and fell into the fire, where it was con.
sumed, Notwithstanding every effort made to
save the jewel. Expert jewellers were called
in by both parties to estimate the intrinsic
value OF the property destroyed, and 5000
francs was stated to be the amount, less go
francs for molten gold rescued from the
ashes. The insurance company refused to
pay for the burnt pearl on the ground that
there was no condagration, that tho fire
which consumed the object was an ordinary
fire; in other words, that there was no FIRE,
and that the company was not responsible
where combustion had only occurred by the
ordinary use of CRATE for heating purposes
The court, however, rejected this, and ruled
that "the word fire, in matters of insurance
applied to every accident, however unim.
portant such accident may be, SO long AZ il
is caused by the action of fire." Therefore
the company had to pay for the jewel.

CO.EDUQATION.

The experiment of co-education of the
sexes for the higher learning has been long
est tried at ODerlin, Ohio, it having been
begun there in 1888. 1t is therefore espe-
oially interesting to notice what President
Fairchild has to say in the Bibliotheca
Saofa about its success. It was adopted
mainly as practical necessity, not from
radical convictions as to the sphere and
work of woman. The original idea of the
founders was to repeat the idea of co-opera-
tion long established in the New England
academy. Practically this is the method
which has prevailed at Oberlin from the be-
ginning. The governing force of the insti-
tutien has been doubled. The professors
have been the faculty to which the young
men were responsible, and ladies' board,
composed Of professors wives and the lady
principal, has had charge of the young
women. The discipline of the one sex has
been entirely separated from that of the
other, and the regulations have been such
that the young women have been as If under
the restraints of their own homes, while the
young men have had the same freedom which
they would have enjoyed at Harvard or
Yale. The restraints have been wholesome
without being exscting. The literary socie-
ties at Oberlin have been the only point
where co education has been ignored. Here
the men and the women have bssn In sspar-
ate organizations, without the opportunity to
exchange their sentiments. President Fair
child quotes the practice at the State uni
versities in the West as indicating that the
treatment of women may be the same as that
of men, holding them simply responsible for
their university work, and paying no attsn-
tion to their personal or social life; and here
he finds that the same results are reached
which have emphasized for good the Oberlin
experiment

COMMUNICATIONS.
Thanks.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Please let me say thanks-thsnks to Mr..
Noyes and associates for their much endeavor
to avert the unpatriotio and most wanton
waste which had undertaken to utterly de-
stroy our stately old State House. Thanks
to the gentlemen, whatever their names, who
are brave enough to do what they can to call
o halt to shameless purpose of evil, which
seems to have seized the perpetrators like
demonial possession. That purpose, If sues
cessful, can never be excused or palliated by
the pretences of timid cowardice, though off,
set by whatever show of Importance. The
question Of preserving our own citizenship,
with It's patriotic and fair-souled history, Is
of more Importance than the mere name
of any one of US. We are in q
trial emergency. The old State House
has been one of our own historic memorials,
latterly grown to be more SO than ever. And,
to-day, it is innocsntly making history as
never before. And they who think they ere
getting good name for themselves and suo-
cessors, by accomplishing the destruction
now but begun, may find "their grapes are
grapes of gall-their clusters very bitter"
What is more likely and just than disap-
pointment to come out of the folly and
crime of such q destruction. A house of like
model may be erected, all new. But what re-
mains of this may be better, as far as it goes.
think 30, If rightly handled. But we want
the very same grand old model. Who is
going to be benefited by destroying what re-
mains of this structure3 Fools and blind,
we inquire of you, that ye, If ye ever do,
may inquire of yourselves. OBSERVER.

A Missionary In Distress Is Taken
Aboard the Schooner 'sSophle,'-The
People OF Labrador and How the
children are Taught to be Expert
Sealers-HabIss and Resorts OF Seals
and the Rxtent of the Sealing Indus
try-An Imperial Policy as Set Forth
by an Englishman.
ON BOARD SCHOONER "SoyH1E," July %.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
At Mingan Islands we had the good for
tune to find o man and brother in distress.
This was a wild and hairy missionary of the
Wesleyan Methodist persuasion who had
been expatriated from his sammy home in
some pleasant English village, to pass four
years In tireless, and he confessed almost
useless, mission work along these wretched
shores. "Discarded by the cannibalsl"
seemed to be written In every line of the
poor mans face. He had been waiting at
Ningan Harbor more than a month for op-
portunity of reaching Chateau Bay, at the
shoulder of the bowling Atlantic coast, and
we gave him free passage, not only on gene
raj grounds of libelality to the cloth, but in
consideration of the added dignity chap
lain would give the schooner Sophie, as well
as because he knew much of the Labrador
to telling what he knew. Altogether he was
excellent company; and what he told as of
the sealing industry alone proved valuable
and entertaining.
He related to begin with that a children's
game called "copy," similar to that of your
own children who "follow the leader" q
wild and dangerous psstime, but heartily
encouraged by parents, as at the basis of all
success in seal hunting. When the ice be-
gins breaking up in March all Labrador and
Newfoundland children hail the arrival OF
their annual play spell with joyous delight.
Copying" consists of leaping from one foat.
ing slab or pan of Ice to another. The most
daring of leaders are selected. and the sport
is followed with tremendous vigor 80 long al
| the floating ice remains. Its utility lies ir
its eduoative power. The very expertnesl
| and bravery thus sngendsred are the su
preme requisites in youth and men as sea
hunters. Only a few years ago seal hunting
was carried on in these waters exolusivel,
from schooners, built Of enormous strength
whose home ports were the little villages 0
the Labrador and northern NEWFOUNDLAND
coasts, and St. Johns, Newfoundland. Bu
immense sealing steamers finally supplante
these, causing a desperate state of war
among the native fishermen. Latterly th
steamers have been given up to some extern

new activity to the industry. The tot'

ed over his shoulders.
The experiment of taking western buyers
to Philadelphia at the expense of few tray-
cling statesmen has proved so successful that
1t has given stimulus to the project of es.
tablishing central show-rooms for Philadsl-
phia manufacturers. It is proposed to erect
q large clubhouse near Broad and Market
streets, with show.rooms, where will be
exhibited samples Of all the manufacturers
OF Philadelphia usually sold in country
stores. The clubhouse will be open to
merchants from other cities, and be provided
with reading-rooms and all oonveniences for
making their stay comfortable. The pro-
ject, which received little support xix months
ago, is talked of with more favor now that
half-a-million dollars worth of goods have
been sold to merchants induced to 20 to
Philadelphia by the offer of free excur-
sion.
Senator Hoar recently wrote to Washington
territory, where the question of putting
woman suffrage into the constitution of the
new State was under consideration: I hope
there will be established in the State constiS
tutions the principle of impartial suffrage
without regard to sex. Where this cannot be
secured 1t is very desirable that the legisla-
lures may be empowered to make such pro-
vision hereafter at their discretion. There
need not be the least fear that the admission
of the State by Congress will be in the least
delayed or imperilled thereby Nearly ma
jority of the United States Senate favor
woman suffrage. OF those opposed to it,
many have committed themselves to the doc.
trine that the control of the matter should be
left to the State. President Harrison, as is
well known, voted when in she Senate to
submit u woman suffrage amendment to the
States, or paired on that side.

Near the campf1re's fickering light
In my blanket bed lie,
Gazing through the shades of night
At the rwinkling stars on high,
Ger me spirits in the air
Silent vigils near me keep,
As breathe my childhood's g prayer,
Now lay me down to Sleep"
Sadly sings the whip-poor-will
In the boughs Of yonder tree,
Laughingly the dancing rill
Sweis the midnight melody.
F'oemen may be lurking near
In the canyon dark and deep
Lew breathe in jesus ear;
II pray the Lord my soul to keep
Mid those stars enc face see-
One the Saviour turned away
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near,
In this lonely mountain brake
Take rue to her, Savior, dear,
"If l should die before I wake"
Fainter grows the 1ickering light,
AS each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds Of night
Fill the air with saddening cries.
over me they seem to cry:
You may never more awake
Low lisp: 'If should die,
pray the Lord my soul to take.''
Now lay me down to sleep,
l pray the Lord my soul to keep;
II should die before wake,
pray the Lord my soul to take.'
