There is considerable excitement in
NestbIook over the action of the school
board in refusing to give diploma to one
OF the high school graduates after allow
ing him TO complete the course and take
part IN the exercises. Their reason Isl
alleged immortality on the part of the boy,
said to be a bright young scamp who gets
drunk and cuts other naughty capers, but
has kept up his studies. A. high school
diploma Is testimonial of mental rather
tnan moral achievement, and the boy has
actually graduated, the school boards DO
sition is rather shaky. We are of the
opinion that all who take full course in a
High school are entitled to diploma re-
CARELESS of moral attalnments. If we have
an incorrigible in town we would be glad
to see him enter our High school, apply
himself to study. comply with the rules,
take full course and receive diploma.
He would certainly be none the worse for,
the diploma, and we do not think the,
school would, for giving it.

sister skeptically. "Ahl that is another

Not every one is so frank about their re-
lnctance to take cold plunge, but it is
certain that the love Of water is not as in
herent a quality with our men as with our
British cousins. We are greatly on the
mend, however, in this respect, and this
generation of tall, finely formed youths
and maidens proves that the regime of the
day is a good one.-New York Tribune.

in mind: Never leave your race on the

SINGS OF A DAY.
Reasons why Every Poet Is Not RecoE-

Reasons Why Every Poet Is Not RecoE-
nized by Posterity as Famous.
| II the Boston of sixty years ago had ven
tured to prophesy for itself literary re
nown, it Ia easy to see upon what reputa
tions Of the time IL would have rested its
claims, But If the most familiar names OF
that time are familiar no longer, II Kettell
and poems from The United States Gazette
seem 10 be cemeteries of departed reputa
tons, the fate Of the singers need not be
deplored as if fame had forgotten them
Fame never knew them. Fame does not
retain the name of every minstrel who
passes singing.
But to say that fame does not know
them is not to dispraise. They sang for
the hearers of their day, as the players
played. Is it nothing to please those who
listen, because those who are out of hear
ing do not stop Co applaudp II we recall
the names most prominent in our iitera-
ture, whether they were destined for a
longer or shorter date, we shall see that
they are undeniably illustrations Of the
survival Of the fittest. Turning over the
noble volumes Of Stedman and Miss Hutch
inson, in which, as on a vast plain, the
whole line Of American literature is drawn
up for inspection and review, and marches
past like the ghostly midnight columns of
Napoleon's grand army, we cannot quar-
rel with the verdict Of time, nor feel that
injustice has been done to Thamis or Cav
dor.
There are singers Of day, but not less
singers because they are Of a day. The in
sect that flashes in the sunbeam does not
survive like the elephant. The splendor Of
the most gorgeous butterfly does not en-
dure with the faint hue OF the hills that
gives Athens its Pindaric name, and there
are singers who do not sing. What says
Holmes, with eager sympathy and pity, in
one Of his most familiar and most beauti-
full lyrics;
We count the broken Tyres that rest
Where the sweet waiting singers slumber,
But DER their silent sisters breast
Tho wild flowers who will stoop to number
A few can touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud TO win them;
Alas, for those that never sing,
And die with all their music in theml
But as he says also that the capacities of
listeners at lectures differ widely, some
holding gallon, others quart, and Others
only pint or gill, so Of the singers who
are not voiceless, their voices differ in vol
nme. Some are organs that fill the air
with glorious and continuous music; some
are trumpets blowing a ringing peal, then
sinking into silence; some are harps Of
melancholy but faint vibration; still others
are flutes and pipes, whose sweet or shrill
note has a dying fall.
Some are heard as the wind or sea is
heard; some like the rustic of leaves; some
like the chirp Of birds Some are heard
long and far away; others across the field;
Others hardly across the street. Fame is
perhaps but the term of n longer or shorter
fight with oblivion; hat il Is the warrior
who drinks delight of battle with his
peers" and holds his own In the fray, who
finally commands the eye and the heart

Some cases reported Of persons of great
age, where the hair has returned to the
normal color, are very remarkable By an
inscription on tombstone at Breslau it
appears that one John Montanus, who was
dean there, recovered three times the
color of his hair. A Mr.. Marazella, OF
Vienna, died in 177s, aged one hundred and
five. "A few months before his death, &C
cording to the account, che had several
new teeth, and his hair, grown gray by age,
became black, its original color"
John Weeks, OF New London, Conn, at
the age of one hundred and six married a
girl Of sixteen, at which time "his gray
hairs had fallen off, which were renewed
by dark head Of hair" He died eight
years later. Susan Edmunds, Of Winter
bourne, Hants, at the age of ninety-nine,
five years before her death, acquired new
hair Of fine brown color" She died in

If one were dancing for show or dancing
for pleasure in a solitude a deux, reversing
would be a variation Of the proceedings,
with a good deal TO be said for it. As
things are, however, reversing in respecta-
BILE bathrooms causes collisions or perils of
collision nine times out of ten, and so few
couples can reverse with complete success
that in the tenth instance those who re
verse invariably produce the impression
that they are showing off at the expense of
their less artful neighbors, which impress
sion is usually correct.
There cannot be complete success in re
versing without continual recollection of
the fact that a reversing couple is like a
ship on the starboard tack, and is bound to
get so far out of the way of every couple
not reversing as to allow them to hold their
course unimpeded. Therefore, under ex.
isting circumstances, and at all places
where more than three or four couples are
gathered together, reversing is sin and
should not be practiced in public.-Satur-

a most substantial manner, with every
modern convenience. 1t is in charge
OF Agent Ed. Madigan, with tNenty-

more printing of another variety. The
coming of this big Forepaugh show to

is the only point on Bellingham bay
where it will exhibit, and special eX-
cursiOnS will be run from Victoria,

fully estimated that fully six thousand

The Fairhayen date has been as thor

great card for Fairhaven, and this
city will probably reciprocate by turn

fact that it requires fifty
railroad cars, each sixty feet long, to
transport it, while sS3 people are on
the pay rolls. There are AS head Of
horses, sixty cages of animals, twenty
elephants, whole herds of camels. and
many rare specimens from all parts of
the world. There are fourteen water
