sHoolBoY HUMOR.

Chambers Journal for August
contains an article by IL. ], Barker,
in the course of which he gives the
following specimens of the essay
writing power of some of the Lon
don school children:
GOVERNMENTS.
"0ur country has Queen who
cant do anything but what she
ought to do. She has been Mt the
Government for nearly fifty years,
and still she looks nice. Also
Georges l., H., Ill. and ", but
there were VIII. Henrys. There
is also houses called the Houses of
Parliament. One of these is full of
Lords, called the House of Lords,
but the other is only built for them
gentlemen as perhaps you have
seen some of them, and il is called
the House of Commons. No gentle
man can get in there unless they
know rs he can make laws. But the
Queen has TO look them over, and
see as they are made right. These
Commons are called Conservatives
and Liberals, and they try and
hinder one another rs much as they
can. They sometimes have sides,
and then you see it on the plack-
ards, and you can hear men and
your fathers talking and quarreling
about ii. Our country is governed
4 lot better than France. and Ger
many comes about next. Then there
= lot of others, and then comes
Persia. Our country always comes
first, whoever You like to ask"
"THE IRISH.
The Irish are so called because
they live on the island of Ireland.
II is beautiful country, which is
chiefly noted for three principal
classes of things, which is namely,
its great greenness its big bogness,
and its little shamroeks. 1t says
in our lessons as green is the fav-
orite color with all the Irish great
and small classes. Shamrock is
nothing but q little bit of green
clover. But the Irish love it. They
can't manufacture things in Ire
land same rs we can, from
traekion ingine to sowing
needle. But still the Irish
manufacture the following classes
very exceedingly. namely; Linin,
bacon, shop eggs, and whisky. The
Irish are nearly as fond of bacon
as they are of potatoes; and as for
that there whisky, the Irish love it.
The hearts of the Irish. the book
says, are all very warm. II you
are walking out in the country and
you met q poor man, you could
easy tell whether he was an Irish
man; for if he was al Irishman he
would perhaps be in Il Fashion and
have : pig with him.

Why Farms Run Down

The farm is the foundation of all other
callngs which trace their roots back to the
soil, and the farmer is the basis of all ma
tional strength. The dweller in the city
may in the hour of danger take worldly
wealth and flee, or if his wealth is in
buildings, may have them destroyed in an
hour. Not so with tie farmer. If he
leaves his farm he leaves all The build
ings are the minor part of his wealth.
National instinct eompels him to fight for
his home and country, although men in
all other eallings may run away. His call
ing is the base of all progress and prosper
ity, and he should, from the fact of his
position, stand at the head intellectually,
socially and politically under free gov
ernment like ours. 1t is the man that
honors the calling, and not the calling that
honors the man. The farmer must occupy
the position which he qualitiees himself to
fill, ard he cannot reasonably expect to
occupy any higher one. All depends upon
himself In a recent lecture Professor
Brewer. of Yale College, well illustrated
this idea by a case which came under his
own observation. a man bought a farm
for $50 an acre. He so improved it that in
few years he was offered $500 an acre for
H. At his death it sold for $3.50 an acre.
In few years the purchaser sold it for
$l60 an acre to a man who finally disposed
of it for $l2 an acre Here it was plainly
the men and not the farm that determined
there is difference in farms owing tC
location and the nature of the soil, yet
there is a wider difference in the men who
run them. and the laggards must ere long
drop out in accordance with the law of the
| survival of the fittcSt

An Indian Fights With a Bca

One day last week an Indian made an
excursion to a mountain near Chevantzie-
urn, State of Michoacan, in Mexico, to
look after some fuel for his hut While
cutting up dry oak he suddenly felt a
bite on the calf of his leg, given in the
fraction of a second. \ moment later he
felt coiling around his body the terrible
fold of a boa constructor. Instinctively he
leaned his head over toward the wounded
leg and was almost fascinated by the glare
of two bright basilisk eyes, that cleaned
like fiery Goals in the head of the serpent.
Quicker than a fash the Indian ducked
his head and caught the neck of the reptile
between his jaws, sinking his teeth in the
quivering flesh and clinging to it with the
desperation of the dying. The huge SER
pent lashed his tail and tried to twist its
head in order to bury its fangs in the In
dian. but the latter clung on and began to
chew away at the neck of the boa, which
| is the thinnest aud most delicate part OF
the snakes anatomy. After chewing for a
| long time the Indian succeeded in behead-
ing his antagonist, the folds dropped from
around his body and the Indian was free.
