would walxeup ina few seconds, but,
to our surprise, he did not, while al
the same time he suddenly ceased TO
snore.

sleep, and every one in the car was up
before No. z. In fact, he slept SO late
that the porter parted the curtains to
arouse him. After one look he jumped
back with a veil, and when we hurried
up we found the man cold and dead.

locked under his neck, and the clothes

Two ladies, while walking In Regent
street, London, were accosted by man,
who requested them to buy beautifullit-
tie dog, covered with long white hair,
which he carried in his arms. They pass
ing on without needing him, he followed
and repeated his entreaties; they looked
at the animal, and were atIast persuaded.
The man took it home for them, re
ceived the money, and left the dog in
the arms Of the ladies. A short time
elapsed, and the dog, which had mean
while been very quiet, in spite OF
restless, bright eye, began to show
symptoms Of uneasiness, and as he ran
about the room exhibited some unusual
movements, which rather alarmed the
fair purchasers. At last, to their great
dismay, the new deg ran sqneaking up
one OF the window curtains. SO that
when the gentleman returned home
few minutes after, he found the ladies

their astonished eyes. and, Of course, to

A returned missionary, who has been
many years in Japan, has just been
showing some curious effects OF culture
in that country. 1t seems that the Jap
anese have seized upon the idea OF
secular education with great avidity.
While only 1000 children go to school
where religious knowledge is part OF
the curriculum, over three million at
tend whore the teaching is purely ag
nostic. The young mon develop keen
love for metaphysical doctrine and re
search, but their favorite authors are
Mill, Spencer, Darwin and Huxley. Al
this tendency is accompanied by great
demand for English teachers, however
one would think that the missionaries
