Carl and his mother lived in small cot
toe near the end of the village. They were
very poor, and their garden was so small
that they could not raise enough vegetables
to supply them with food, and many times
they were obliged to go hungry. Carl
thought that if he only had one of the fields
belonging to the rich farmer who lived near
them, he would be happy and could make
his mother comfortable in her old age But
he had no money and the farmer would not
part with his land except for shining gold.
One very severe winter, after they had
suffered much from hunger and cold, Carl's
mother allowed him to go to the city to find
work; and with many tears she parted from
her only son, who promised to return as
soon as ne had saved sufficient to buy the
field; then they would live happy and con-
tented in their little home At first Carl
was very lonely in the great city, and had
some difficulty in finding employment; but at
length his honest face and earnest manner
secured work for him. He was not an idle
boy, and his duties were always promptly
and well done. He worked early and late
and in less than two years he saved enough
money to buy the field. He then took leave
of his friends in the city, and one summer
afternoon joyfully began his journey on foot
to his home, where he knew his mother
would give him a glad welcome. He had
gone but short distance when rider on a
6ery-black horse galloped by, and cried in
mocking tone:
"Hello, Carl, you must find walking
pleasant on such hot. dusty day." and
then rode on without waiting for reply.
But Carl had already recognized Otto, the
son of the rich farmer and terror to all
the village people. Otto, who was a cruel,

LeayinQ School Too Soon.

One of the London periodicals has this to
say regarding free education-and the words
apply as we'll to this country: The school
master is the best policeman. Juvenile
crime has diminished in 80 years from 20
per 100, 900 to 17.6. The general condition
of those classes of society which are affected
by the elementary school system is vastly
improved. But English children leave
school at far too early an age, so that this
thin varnish of education rapidly wears off
in contact with the friction OF every day
life, and too many of our children sink
back into what may truly be called the bar
barisms of our streets. Hence we ought to
endeavor to emulate the example of Con-
tinental countries, and not only keep the
children at school longer. but insist upon
their subsequent attendance at evening con-
tinuation schools. Until the richer class
feel that the thorough education of the
poorer is the greatest possible safeguard
against social upheaval, and the poorer
classes see that in education lies their best
hope of ameliorating their condition, the
full benefits OF our expenditure will not be
realized.

Fields for Investigation.

A scientific writer in the London Lancet,
referring to some of the unsolved problems
of science, remarks: Foremost among them
must be placed the question of the nature of
life. Life" says Herbert Spencer. sis the
definite combination of heterogeneous
chances, both simultaneous and successive,
in correspondence with external condolences
and sequences This is not clear. Life,
says Aristotle. ''is the primary reality of an
organism" This is true, but inadequate.
What modern science has really established
regarding life is that it always proceeds
from life
Next among the unsolved problems must
be placed the problem of origins. Whence
came this globe? Whence came man? What
was the origin of mineral, of plant. of ami
NAL? The nebular hypothesis and the Dar-
winian theory are subtle and profound, but
even if established they would still leave
the problem Of origins obscure.
In the realm of disease unsolved problems
abound. We cannot account for the origin
of any of that large class OF diseases, which,
beginning in definite particular virus. We
can discover and formulate the conditions of
their growth and development, but their
original source remains a mystery. Yet is
in just this department that the outlook is
most hopeful. The genius of Pasteur or
a Koch, however rare, is not without its
parallel. and the achievements of these OBJ
servers should make the work of future in
vestigators surer and less arduous. The
true scientific attitude is one OF legitimate
satisfaction at past successes with the frank
recognition that this is no time for calling
halt and sounding peans of victory.

Our blunt but shrewd friend, Mr.. Moss
back, writes the following open letter to a
young gentleman just married:
''My Dear Friend:
81 wish to whisper in your ear that your
wife is not an angel. know you used to
it, but should like to know how an angel
could get along living with such fellow as
you are. No, she's charming and lovely
and good-natured and all that, but she's no
angel; the wings haven't even begun to
grow. So you must treat her as a woman
should be treated-with love and good ma
terial support. She will want money to
spend and dresses to wear, and the bill for
what she puts on her head you will have to
foot, and should not wonder if a box of
chocolate creams once in while would be
acceptable II she isn't extravagant, just
meet these expenses like man. You must
expect them so long as you didn't marry
bona fide angel.
"Do not go to the other extreme, and when
you find out that she is not an angel, treat
her as though she had no more feeling than
a stone post or craven image. tell you,
man, she is very much the same sort of girl
after YOU married her that she was before.
She likes to have you offer her you arm and
pick up her handkerchief and show the lit
tie marks of Difference and attention that
you used to show before you were Joined in
wedlock Moreover, she is not 60 years old
yet; you wouldn't have married her if she
been. And yet you expect her to make Just
as good squash pies and plum puddings as
your mother makes. Why, your mother has
been at it for 40 years, more or less, SO OF
eha hnu tn a q
but you have hardly been married three
months yet.
"In fact, my dear fellow, you have mar
ried one of the dearest girls in all the world,
but she is made OF flesh and blood and isn't
quite perfect yet. That is all there is OF it.
1t would have been very unequal sort of
match if she were altogether perfect. You
have got as good bargain as she has. just
recognize these facts and you'll be as happy
in your married life as the years are long.
'Your friend, A. MossBACK."

The old soldier thanked the boy, and
leaned heavily on his shoulder. They had
gone but few steps whom they saw before
them large castle. =.
Here" said the soldier, sis my home. !"
And as they entered the gate, the old
man limped no more; but was noble
young knight dressed in royal attire. In
the castle were found all kinds of weapons,
shining swords, shields and helmets, which
had been in many battles. The knight told
Carl to take that which pleased him best
But the boy answered: ''They are all too
grand for me. am going home to work in
the fields for nv mother, and 1 shall not
need any of these"
"Then," said the knight. handing him
small bag of grain, take this seed for your
new land"
With his bag of seed and his fur cloak,
Carl came at last to his home, where he
found his mother, in spite of her great JOY
over his return, unable to rise from her bed.
Carl showed her the warm cloak that in the
coming winter would protect her from the
cold; and then threw it around her should
ers. To their great surprise all pain at
once left the old lady's body, and she was
able to rise and cook supper for her son.
Early the next morning Carl went to buy
the field; but he was told that he could not
see the farmer, as he was very i'll. Carl ran
quickly home and soon returned with the
iur cloak, which he begged the sick man to
put on. AS soon as he had done so he be-
came we'll, and showed his gratitude by CIV
ing Carl two fields and building pleasant
and comfortable cottage for him and his
mother, where they lived very happily.
And Carl's grain, grown from the seed
which the knight had given him, was the
envy of all the country. PAYSIE.
