SAINT PAUL.

PAIR OF BOOTS.

Her manner was so pensive,
So sober was her air.
That | began to wonder
What grief she had to bear.
She was not dressed in mourning,
But in the latest style;
She wore a Paris costume,
But she did not wear a smile.
She looked quite chic and dainty:
Her hands were neatly gloved;
But, somehow, she looked just as if
She never had been loved.
And so at last asked her if
She'd lost her next of kin.
"Oh, no." she sighed. its only
These boots I'm breaking in"

THOSE Y. Nj. c. A. BOYS.

The Y. M. c. A. have left the relaxing
atmosphere Of White Bear lake and
Mahtomedi, DOTTED their tights and re-
turned to the city with all its repugnant
nineteenth century conventionalities.
~
A leader of the Y. NJ. G. A. has not
been very deeply impressed with the
summer Bible school, because he says:
''While we realize that there has not
been as much prayer as some of US
would have liked, still the meeting has
been very instructive one" He does
not say in what way it has been in
6tructive? Is it in antl-conventionalism?
-
The Y. NJ. G. A. boys do not display a
great appreciation of the teachings of
their Master when under criticism.
One of them attempted TO kick news
paper reporter on the head, while an
other talked with a big head about
throwing the ubiquitous in the lake.
~
Members of the Y. M. C. A. may, as
State Secretary Hildreth says, be
nice set of boys, but this
does not place them on higher
pedestal than the rest of mankind. The
fact of belonging to Christian organi-
cation does not give authority for ap-
pearing at'the hotel dining table, in the
presence of ladies, in tights.
~
The Y. NJ. G. A. boys will go to NAH
tOmedi next year. They will, perhaps,
have gathered experience by then, and
will take their mothers with them.

Parker's Army Coffin.

A veteran of the regular army said to me
while in a reminiscent mood: "The widest
madcap of the Federal army during the late
war of the rebellion was Dwight Parker, who
was on Hancocks staff. Brave as a lion,
handsome as O picture, he was the ideal sol
dier. Dwight got a furlough after he had
served long time at the front, and behaved
himself until his arrival in Philadelphia.
There he proceeded to 'inaugurate a howl
as you boys say now, but we used to call it a
spree He just climbed all over the town
If there was any resident who didn't know he
was in the city, it wasn't his fault He did
the best he knew how, and Dwight wasn't q
man of mean abilities in that line either.
Right in the middle of this spree he went to
the undertaker's and got measured for q
coffin. This with plate bearing his name,
with a blank space left for the date Of his
death, was forwarded to the Continental
hotel Dwight was proud Of it and celebrated
its arrival in q manner peculiar to himself
When his furlough had almost expired he
packed up his baggage and his coffin and
started for the front Hancock and the off,
GERS Of his staff were at first inclined to look
upon Parker's coffin as something ghastly,
but everything went in the army in those
days, and finally all hands got SO accustomed
to seeing the thing around headquarters that
they began TO use is as sort of waste paper
receptacle. What became Of itf Well,
don't remember. Parker died several years
ago on Governors Island, n. Y, but he had
a brand new coffin on that occasion, for
saw it, guess Parker was the only soldier
on either side who carried his coffin with him
during the war. Boston Traveller

An ALARMING SHOWING.

Papers have to Say on the Subject.

The leading question of the day among scientific
men, and In the leading papers, is the alarming
increase uf pneumonia, the death-rate showing an
increase OF over five hundred per cent within the
last few years. Dr. Gouvernsur N. Smith, In an
article In the Medical Recor says that while med

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Countries Where tho Law Requires q Ger

Countries Where the Law Requires Cor
tain Amount of Schooling.
Prussia has long had compulsory school at
tendance between the ages of land IA through
the whole school year, and the same laws In
regard to school attendance, with slight
notifications, prevail through all the states
of the German empire. In Norway. Sweden
and Denmark education Is compulsory and
universal, and it Is rare in these countries
and in Finland to find an adult who cannot
read and write.
Austro-H Hungary has compulsory laws SINH.
lar to those Of Germany, which are pretty
well enforced among the Teutonic popula-
iation, but are not enforced among the Hun
garians and other Slavs
Italy and Greece have compulsory laws
which are being better and better enforced,
though at present less than one-half of their
men and women can read Spain enacted a
compulsory law In 1857, but has never en-.
forced it, and 60 per cent. of her adults can
not read. Portugal has a similar dead letter
law, and still greater illiteracy than Spain.
In Switzerland compulsory education Is
well carried out in the Protestant cantons,
but less strictly in the Catholic In Belgium
and the Netherlands schools are provided In
every commune, but attendance Is voluntary,
and though lliteracy is diminishing there
is still about one-third of the men and women
who cannot read or write. To encourage ed
ucation in Belgium the local franchise has
been offered to all who can read and write,
independent of the usual property qualifica-
tions. In Russia. with the exception of Fin
land, education Is very backward, and in
lSS2 only 10 per cent of her army recruits
could read. Compulsory attendance in Great
Britain is left to the school boards, but Is
practically required between the ages of 6
and l3. France not only has compulsory at
tendance but her schools are more modernly,
more thoroughly and more expensively or
ganized than in any other country In all
European countries where education Is COM
pulsory the law requires attendance through
the whole school year, though in Great
Britain half day attendance is accepted by
some school boards The period to which the
compulsory laws apply is quite uniformly
from q to IA, except in Great Britain, where
it is from S to l3, and in Greece, where 1t il

A Revolving Russian Superstition.

a curiosity of unpleasant peasant supersti.
ton has been revealed at a trial in southern
Russia, which ended in the conviction of four
peasants for the murder of girl II years
old. The superstition recalls that about the
thieves and the candles narrated in connec-
ton with the Whitechapel murders These
peasants, it seems, were believers in the
superstition that candles made of human fat
rendered the bearers invisible. To obtain
these articles they first attempted to murder
a boy in the forest and next tried to kill an
old peasant; thirdly, Russian Clergyman,
and being disturbed on all three occasions, at
last succeeded in numbering Sukeria Cher
kaschina. With the fat from the child's body
they made candles, and with their help at
tempted to commit robbery. The light Of
the candles betrayed them, which seems q
singularly just happening, and on being ar
rested they confessed everything. The evil
dence in court showed the belief in the
thieves candle superstition to be very wide
spread in Russia.-Cor. Philadelphia Press
