Then as they grow ill wisdom, they should also be supplied with iirst-class magazines and gooc books. Such opportunities are above the worth of gold.

Monarchy Doomed.

In the light of the significant events of the past few months, we undertake to say that the days of ty- ranny and oppression are rapidly drawing to a close. Meme. meme, tekcl upharsin," are already being written on the totterin- walls of the old world monarchies. and the prin- ciplcs of justice and equality are as- >erting themselves as never before. The marvel is. that the down trod- den nations have submitted so long to the expressions and inequalities and unjust actions of crowned-heads and cruel despots.
 The example of grand old Brazil is producing it's legitimate effects everywhere-strengthening the cause of popular rights on the one hand' and weakening the cause of monar- chy and despotism on the other. The revolution by which the old system of monarchy was thrown off, and a republican form of government inau- gurated in it's stead, was perfectly pcaceable in ite character, and with out a parallel in history. Let us hope that the time is not far distant when the groans of serf-ridden Rus sia and other eastern despotisms will be hushed in the triumph of republl- canism and equal rights.

One by One the IDOLS Are Failing

The papers have been full of para.
graphs about Edward Grub, ''the Bris.
tol Centenarian," who is described as
having died at the age of 100. Grubb
was not centenarian, for, according to
his own account, he was living at Kings
land, where he was born, when the
battle of Waterloo was fought, and vet
he went to settle in London ''three or
four years before he was 90" It is clear,
therefore, that, as only seventy-fve years
have passed since Waterloo, Grub can
not have been more than 80 when he
died.
A still more conclusive proof is af-
forded by the tombstone over his fathers
grave in the churchyard at Kingsland,
which records that he died in 1903, at
the age of "a; SO that if Grub was a
centenarian hewas born when his father
was 16 years old, and if he was 100 he
must have been born when his father
was years old! 1t would be Just as

The Fish Learned to Walk.

Henrik Dshl. of Aalesund, Norway
was reader and follower of Darwin.
Wishing to apply his theory of the
limit of adaptabiGty of species to its
environment, he procured a herring
from neighboring ford and carried il
home in tub of sea water. He renewed
the water daily for some time, and grad
ually reduced the quantity, with SO little
inconvenience to the herring that he
concluded that the fish might in time
learn to breathe air undiluted with
water, like the cat and the man.
1t turned out as he expected, and the
water was finally turned out of the tut
of the herring, never to be replaced ever
for bathing. Henrik next removed the
fish from its tub and placed it on the
ground, where it Topped about very awk
wardly at first, but soon learned to move
freely and rapidly.
In little while the herring was able
to follow its master without difficulty
and then it became his constant compan.
ion about the streets of the city. On q
certain unfortunate day Henrik had oc.
casion to cross dilapidated bridge
which spanned an arm of the harbor.
The herring coming gracefully along,
needless of danger, now and again spring.
ing at the ephemera, for which it had
acquired an especial fondness, missed its
footing. slipped through crack into the
water beneath and was drowned.-For

Reading and Crossing the Legs.

Men often cross their legs at public
meetings because they go there to listen
OF to be entertained. They are not the
factors in the performance, and they
naturally place themselves in the most
comfortable position known-namely,
leaning well back in their chairs and
crossing their legs. A man almost in
variably crosses his legs when he reads a
newspaper, but is more apt to lie down
when he reads a book. He reads the
paper, of course, to inform himself, but
at the same time the perusal of its con-
tents is recreation to him, and his body
again seeks its position of relaxation.
When man is reading newspaper and
waiting for his breakfast his legs are al
ways crossed, but as soon as the break
fast is ready he puts the paper aside,
straightens out his legs under the table,
and turns his whole mind on the duties
of the day.-St. Louis Republic.

Good Sense.

1t will preserve us from censorious-
ness; will lead us to distinguish circum-
stances; keep us from looking after Wis
ionary perfection, and make us see things
in their proper light. 1t will lead us to
study dispositions, peculiarities, accom-
modations; to weigh consequences; to
determine what to observe and what to
pass by; when to be immovable and
when to yield. 1t will produce good
manners, keep us from taking freedoms
and handling things roughly; will never
agitate claims of superiority, but teach
us to submit ourselves one to another.

There has existed in Japan for MANY
centuries O curious law to the effect that
whenever the emperor or empress ap-
peared IN public no other person should
seem to occupy higher place than this
member of the royal family; therefore
on such occasions the shutters of all I'D
per stories were drawn, and the upper
parts OF the houses through which the
royal party moved were seemingly de-
serted. This law is still in effect. Three
months ago, when the empress went into
the country for brief period, an elab-
crate announcement was posted in con-
spicuous places along the line of her con-
templated route commanding the public
to observe strictly certain requirements
Of etiquette, to wit:
When her majesty shall pass along no
one must look at her from the frame
built on houses for the drying of clothes,
or through cracks in doors, or from any
position in the upper part of their houses
1t anybody wishes to see her majesty
he or she must sit down at the side of
the road by which her majesty will pass
All children must be taken particular
care of that they do not play in the road,
and SO obstruct the passage of her ma
Jesty through the streets.
No one must look at her majesty with
out taking off his hat, neckcloth or
turban, or whatever else he may be
wearing on his head. Moreover, no one
must be smoking while he or she is look
ing at her majesty, nor must any one
carry stick or cane Only women
wearing the clothes of foreigners will be
permitted to retain their head covering.
Although it may rain, no person will
be allowed to put up an umbrella while
her majesty may be passing
Dogs must not be allowed to wander
on to the road by which her majesty will
pass.
Until the passage of her majesty, the
route by which she will come will be
kept free from all carriages and iinri-
kashas. The roads which she will take
must be completely free from all traffic.
AS her majesty passes, no one must
raise his voice, nor must any sound be
heard, nor must the crowd close in and
follow her carriage, for no noise must be
made. When hermajesty reaches Umeda
station there will be discharge of fifty
fireworks. - Eugene Field in Chicago
