RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL

The great object Of school should be
to put the child in the way Of using
his own powers, and stimulate him to
continue to use them.-J. A. Cooper.
"A correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian says that while there are only
about fifty thousand Protestant native
Christians in China, there are 544, $40
Catholic native Christians.
There are no fewer than seventeen
different Presbyterian missionary soci-
cites, including the Reformed (Dutch)
Church, laboring in India. OF these,
eleven are American and Canadian, and
six are British.
The six Bibles of the world are: The
Koran of the Mohammedans; the Tri
Pitikes of the Buddhist; the Five Kings
of the Chinese; the Three Vedas of the
Hindoos; the Zendavesta, and the Scrip
ture of the Christians.-The Beacon.
Even in Asia Minor and Persia there
have been revivals of religion, five hun
dred persons having been added to the
church in one place, and four hundred
in another. The gospel is thus the
power of God for salvation among all
people.

Gypsie hadn't died.
All. poor Gypsie! Mrs. Graham
touched tender spot in her grand
childs heart when she spoke of her.
She was her special property, and many
a happy hour did she spend on the back
of her faithful little animal, while
Bruno bounded along by their side.
Now, alas! both were dead. One died
the victim of the dread disease, dis
temper, and the other was accidentally
shot on hunting expedition for which
he was borrowed. However, sad as
Grace felt as all this was recalled to
her memory, she answered her grand
mother lightly enough.
Yes. if Gypsie hadn't died, or
Bruno hadn't been shot, or we had more
horses, or grandpa's eyes were WE'LL or
Sam was not down with the rheumatic,
or we lived in town, or had near and ac-

eral If never did come out conqueror,

him the cold shoulder and have nothing
whatever to do with him, so If you'll
help me make out the list III start at
once"
She spoke lightly of her walk, and
little did Mrs. Graham know of the
thoughts that were coursing through
her brain as she took down the list. The
truth was Grace had read an account in
tne county paper Vic udJ oeloIe thao
terrible assault had been made by
tramps on an unprotected girl on the
very road cshe had to take. But
Grace was no coward. She knew she
had this walk to make, so she destroyed
the paper, that her grandmother might

call her a child, for in appearance she
was but a child while in reality she
was nearly nineteen. Her grandmother
often said that she was such brilliant
sunbeam that no shadow could exist in
her presence.
She rivaled the birds in her cry
songs as she tripped along the path. She
told herself she had ample time, so she
often stopped on her way to watch the
white swans glide majestically away on
her approach to the edge of the lake, OF
the tortoises' clumsy walking until they
would reach the brink and then plunge
to the bottom, where their bright backs
would look as though they were finely

vanished. She laughed at her own
happy reflection in the clear water, and
told herself that she had really spoken
the truth when she assured her grand
mother of the pleasant prospect before
her. The babbling brook seemed more
inclined to be friendly than ever before,
the birds sang their sweetest songs, the
holly berries were of brighter hue
than last year, and the flowers, the glo-
ries of the sunny south, which decked
the wood here and there like the finest
of embroidery on green plush, looked to
Grace as though they had put forth
their greatest efforts to look their gay
est, and, in fact, all nature seemed to
wake anew in honor of her coming.
"Upon my soul If that isn't too pro-
voking! What could have possessed me
to forget that chocolate?"
The sun was just about an hour high,
and Grace, having made her purchases,
was. about half mile on her homeward
journey, when. as we saw, she had for
gotten the chocolate. 1t must be had,
so our heroine retraces her foo tsteps,
makes her purchase, and was about
mile from the village, when she is
startled by horses hoofs on the road.
She turned, and saw horse coming at
lively rate, followed by an empty
buggy. She took in the situation at
once. The hitching strap was dangling
along, and evidently he had, upon find
ing himself loose, started for home
without waiting for his master. BY
strange coincidence the pony was the
same shade of her own and about the
same size of poor Gypsie. The girls

A COMMUNAL QUARREL.
Two English Birds That Acted In
Singularly Human Way.

Two English Birds That Acted in q
Singularly Human Way.
In the yard of Scranton bird student
a pair of English sparrows began few
weeks ago to get ready to 60 to house,
keeping. They took up their abode in
little box that was fastened to the top
OF a pole. Other sparrows undertook to
occupy the box, but the pugnacious first
corners soon drove them away, and from
that time on the plucky pair fixed up
their household and got every thing in
readiness to raise family without be-
ing disturbed by their apparently envi-
Gus neighbors
When the Industrious birds we're near
ly ready to settle down to quiet mar
ried life. an accident happened that
caused a row between the pair. One day
before the female had begun to sit, her
husband fitted away and was gone a
good deal longer than usual. During
his absence the female busted herself
by flying from the nest to the yard and
back, adding finishing touches to her
household and sprucing things up inside
Of the box BY and by Mr.. Sparrow re-
turned, but he didn't look as neat and
natty as he did when he sailed away.
In some way he had lost all of his tail
feathers while he was gone, and his wife
wouldn't have any thing to do with him
or let him enter the house. He seemed
to try to explain matters to her, but she
wouldn't listen to him at all, chirped at
him spitefuily, and fought him when
ever he attempted to approach her.
The student knew that the bobtailed
bird was the rightful husband by pecu-
liar mark on his head, and he watched
tho result of the family trouble with
deep interest For two days the un-
happy husband coaxed and begged his
wife to treat him as she had formerly
done, but his pleadings made her all tho
more determined to get rid of him for
good. All at once the bobtailed spar
row disappeared, and has never been
seen around there since. The female
continued to occupy the box, and inside
OF three days she got another husband,
set up housekeeping anew, and in duo
time Matched out nest full Of little
ones.-N. Y. Sun.

DAIRY DOTS.

MILK from cows in good health and
apparent contentment only should be
used.
WE give summary of Professor Rob.
ertson's excellent bulletin on Milk for
Cheese Factories"
TIN pals only should be used.
ALL milk should be strained immedi-
ate1y after it is drawn.
Cows should be MIXED with dry hands
and only after the udders have been
washed or brushed clean.
PURE cold water should be allowed in
quantities limited only by the cows
capacity and desire to drink.
AN abundant supply of cheap, succu-
LEM, easily digested, wholesome, nutri-
tious feed should be provided.
MILK is better for being kept over
night in small quantities, rather than in
a large quantity in one vessel.
ONLY pure, clean, honest milk should
be offered. Any deviation from that
will not always be UNPUBLISHED.
In warm weather, all milk should be
cooled to the temperature of the atmos-
phere after it has been aired but not be-
fore.
WILD leeks and other weeds common
in bush pastures give an offensive odor
and flavor to the milk of animals which
eat them.
MILK stands should be constructed to
shade from the sun the cans or vessels
containing milk, as we'll IS to shelter
them from rains.
A BOX or trough containing salt, to
which the cows have access every day,
is requisite indispensable in the prof
liable keeping of COWS.
Cows SHOULD be prohibited from
drinking stagnant, impure water. The
responsibility for the efficacy of that
beneficial prohibitio rests wholly with

oEINrEREsr1o SHIPPERS.

In reply to request for information
as to the risks taken by shippers in
consigning grain to Minneapolis and
Duluth, Woodward & Co., a reliable COM
mission firm, of the former city, under
recent date wrote as follows:
The laws of Minnesota are very fav-
orable to consignors. Summed up,
YOUR commission man is your employe
for the transaction Of certain business.
He must account to you for your grain
or money the same, as any other clerk
or agent. 1t is felony for him not to do
SO. Will say, in this connection that
nineteen-twentieths of the losses made
through commission men in the last
five years here or at Duluth, have been
on grain or erchandise purchased, not
consigned. When a house becomes
weak or unsafe, its first thought is for
consignment liabilities, and its first
effort, to change its responsibility as
agent to the ordinary one of vendee to
vendor.
The Chamber of Commerce here and
the Board of Trade, Duluth, are also
very strict with their members. Proof
of intentional false return of price or
weight, the addition of a charge not
paid, however small, would surely sus-
pend, and possibly expel the offender as
we'll as ruin his business forever after.
The Inspection and weighing here
and at Duluth is done by sworn State
Officers, under heavy bonds. Any ship
per can get certificate of weight or
grade of any or all the cars he has
shipped, even years after, through his
commission man, or by sending to the
State Weighmaster, or State Inspector
where the grain was sent. In Mime
apolis almost all grain is sent by sam
pie as we'll as grade. In Duluth sales
are usually made by grade only.
Shippers should remember their COM
mission man represents them and that
he always tries to make sales on such
terms as will net them the most. The
cost of delivering is fully considered in
negotiating sales and larger price is
obtained when sold otherwise than ION
track" sufficient to cover the additional
expense. Sellers, in order to avail
themselves of the fullest competition
between buyers of all classes, have to
meet the various requirements of the
latter in the matter of delivering, the
expense being fully covered by the ex-
ira price agreed upon for the property
according to the terms of delivery.

spect But Very Expensive.
Peruvian young ladies marry at four
teen, and, like their sisters in the
United States, they look with favorable
eyes upon young man who has wealth.
If young man sees girl who pleases
him, he haunts the street where she
lives, and if he finds her on the balcony,
where she spends half her time, he
raises his hat and bows to her.
If she smiles in return, he sees that
his advances are accepted and then he
applies to her father for an introduce
ton. Even if the father consents he
never can meet the young lady alone,
but always in the presence of the fam
lily.
If he invites her to concert or thea
ter, he must always invite her mother
and all the female members Of the fam
lily. During the courtship the couple
are never left alone, and frequently the
father or mother orders the daughter to
retire, when the young man has re-
manned long enough.
Every Peruvian must have a god
mother and godfather who officiate at
the baptism, at confirmation and at the
marriage. Tie same persons may act
in all the instances, or an entirely diff
ferent set may be elected.
The marriage must inevitably take
place in the church, and both parties
must 60 to confession and partake OF
the communion before the ceremony.
Invitations are issued to the gentlemen
friends of the contracting parties, who
attend the ceremony at the church and
afterward the reception at the house,
where the only ladies in attendance are
the bride and her female relatives.
Each guest is presented with solid
silver medal, made at the mint, with the
name of the bride, bridegroom, god
father, godmother, and the date. The
medal is prettily tied with bow OF
ribbon. After the wedding congratu-
latory calls are in order, but the bride
makes no calls and remains secluded for
three months. Journal
