ed a resolution on the compulsory edu-
cation law, as fOllws:
Res0lred, That the Republicans Of
La Sale county, declare themselves
heartily in favor OF compulsory educa-
ton, and to insure for each child in the
state liberal cducation at the same
time they favor an amendment of the
existing law to repeal the clause which
submits the private schools to the
power Of local school board and
which has given cause for unnecessary
conflict.
The resolution elected considerable
discussion.
Mr.. Ralph Plumb said he wanted
the word Liberal" stricken out. He
was in favor OF common schools, hut
was not in favor OF the states giving
to any child a liberal education" or
Of forcing them To secure such.
, Mr.. lIaZlitt, Of Merlden, wanted the
resolution to say something about the
English language. Though Mr.. Rein
harts English was badly marred by a
German accent, he succeeded in max
ing Mr.. HaZlitt understand that IL he

find that that matter had been provided
for, as well as the other matter Mr..

Plumb and Prof. Jenkins. They sub
sequently reported the following as a
substitute:
The Republicans OF La Sale county
declare themselves heartily in favor OF
compulsory education TO secure for
each child in the state common
school education, but are IN favor OF
such modification Of existing laws as
shall remove objections IN regard TO
the control OF private schools by school

Much domestic unhappiness comes

pare your husband to other men to his

have myself heard men say, If I had
. wife like Won. Mr.. Se-and-so, I'd be
g3ad.' It wont do to say such things.
If your wife loves You It viii be worse
than blow to her to hear you say such
brutal things. And most of these
peppery wives and acrid husbands do
really and truly love each other, after
all. Hsne or the other of them should

A STRANGE and interesting class of
people live in the mountain regions of
Eastern Galicia and Bukowina. and in
the border mountains of Hungary. They
are called Huzuls, and are mixture
of two tribes which were driven out of
Slavonia and Mongolia six hundred
years ago. rhey are at present about
thirty thousand in number, and live in
small settlements, seldom more than six
or seven families in a settlement.
These settlements are called @staros-
ties" the "starost, or governor, being
always the oldest son of the founder OF
the settlement, and his direct descend
ants. This governor has ultimate con-
troll of the people, but he possesses nc
more land or focks than any other man
in the starosty, as the fields and sheep
which form. the wealth, and are the
pride of the Huzuls. are the common
property of the settlement. Although
they have regular homes, they make
very little use of them as abiding places.
As soon as the first signs of spring,
which they call the green time," APP
pear they are off, and for seven months
wander through the mountains as hunt
ers or herdsmen, and only the "black
time" of winter brings them back to the
settlement. As to their religious belief.
they are heather, and are filled with all
sorts of strange superstitions.
