a STRAIGHT ANGLE,
One of the Things Which Were Not Men
toned in Old-Time school Books.

One of the Things Which Were Not Mem
toned in Old-Time school Books.
Ask the first ten people you meet
what is straight angle" and see how
many of them do not show up that
hopeless look which implies belief
that there is joke but an admission
that they can't see it. Educated men
and women, even boys but lately ont of
the high school. will admit that a
straight angle is something they never
heard of. Webster, dictionary of
some Standing even in court, defines an
angle as bend or corner, the mectin g
of two lines that run in different direc-
tions. But now comes modern educa-
ton, the great selling agency for text
books, and it proclaims that a straight
angle not only is, bnt it is an important
factor in gaometryn
There is no difference between a
straight angle and a straight line-not
a bit. The live A, B, g is the angle A,
B, c.. An angle is Il straight line, a
bend" has no bend to it, and corner
is as open as ali outdoors. But modern
education finds in the theoretical angle
of $50 degrees something to puzzle the
children, and so we have a now geom-
etry, reconstruction on the customary
basis of doing things differently from
the old way.
One would think that education had
been a failure; that men and women
who had been reckoned educated and
intelligent had owed that reputation to
the ignorance of those about them, and
that nothing worth studying forty years
ago is worth teaching to-day. The
parent of to-day who would accompany
a child in its studies finds he must him
self undertake a course of study. Arith-
metic has changed, grammar has gone,
and everything else is different. Geom-
etry with its straight angles is only an
incident and an illustration.
All this makes you reflect what fools
those people We're who We're educated
twency-i i've to forty years a.;o; not fools
in the sense of knowing nothing, but
fools because they neglected the chance
to strike out in the lines that others did
not know and to write school books
that others could not understand, which,
therefore, should be adopted forthwith
to prevent one generation from using
the books used by the generation be-
fore it.-Chicago Journal.

GOING TO FUNERALS.
Morbid Curiosity Leads Many to Visit
Scenes of sorrow.

81 am often led to wonder" said a
lady. as she returned home from the
funeral of dear friend, what senti-
ment of the human heart it is that
prompts strange people who haven't
the slightest interest in the deceased or
the family. to go to every funeral within
reach. 1t seems as though there was
in MANY minds morbid curiosity that
leads them to present thems elves on
such occasions, and stand around and
look on with eagernesS, watching every
movement and feeling almost defrauded
if anything important escapes their
notice Such a tendency should be inn
mediately checked in the young, as the
sentiment is not by any means a credit
able one and often leads to the most
absurd exhibition of curiosity.
81 remember being present some time
siuce'atShe funeral of a neighbor. The
services were held in the churSh, and,
as is the custom in many places, the
casl<et was Opened so that the friends
might take 4 last look at the departed
if they so desired. The people from one
side of the church passed around to the
front, where the casket was placed and
down the opposite side aisle, either
resuming their seats or waiting in the
vestibule My attention was attracted
by a group of children in the little
procession, and to my surprise again
and again the same children passed
around the front and down the side
aisle crossing at the rear of the church
again to fall into line and continue the
round and round march. No one seemed
to observe them or put stop to their
promenade. | couldn't help but wonder
whether that wasn't the sort of senti-
ment which, permitted in the young,
makes inveterate and incorrlglble
funeral-goers in later life.
Very few persons, except those in
public life, have a sufficiently large
circle of acquaintance to Warrant g
church funeral. OF course, as affairs
at present stand, custom rules in this as
in many other matters, but there seems
to be a gradual narrowing of the limits
of funeral congregation.
Where there are many persons at
the church it is often the case that the
announcement is made that the inter-
ment will be strictly private. This is
or should be sufficient bar to the pres
ence Of the curious, who often go to
such places merely to crafty morbid
sentiment IN. Y. Ledger.

in an Old-faShiOneC garden, with an or
chard full of weather beaten apple
trees behind it, while an outer circle of
ancient cedars drew up about it like
faithful guardians, the low, white
house, with its broad wings, made you
think of a mother bird brOoding over
her weil-tiled nest. But the nestlinGs
were all gone now, had wandered far
from. the old house, which seemed TO
them Shabbier and more cramped every
time they came back for visit.
Only grandma clung to it closer and
closer as the years went by. When the
busy sons and fashionable daughters
called it lonely, and the grandchildren
wondered over its queer little cuddy
holes, and remarked with open con-
tempt upon the stiff old furniture and
tiny -paned windows, the old lady lis
tened and said nothing. but her heart
throbbed with pain as though she had
heard the maligning of some dear
friend
They don't, of course, know" she
thought. excusing them in her gentle
way. Though to other eyes it may
seem poor and old-fashioned, to me il
never can be so, for it is the first, the
only home ever had" And after the
sad, tender manner of the old, who
only have a happy past and empty
present without Turing future here,
she fell a-drcaming of by-gone times,
when her faithful John had brought
her bride to this dear home, which
seemed so grand and beautiful then,
after an orphaned childhood and girl
hood without Il settled home.
How could it ever seem lonely and
humble to her, when it was SO rich in
a thousand happy. blessed associations?
Had not she and John planted that
very mountain ash together? Had not
that been Johns favoIite rose bush?
And could the roOps ever seem empty
and crampcd to her, when every nook
and corner spoke to her. sometimes of

as tongue could do?

she toasted the bread John liked brown

floor was where Baby May had turned
the ink over while she sat writing to
the soldier father far away, where the

a Case of Conscience.

A New York Sundly-school teacher
made an unsuccessful attempt to assist Il
little boy to comprehend what con-
science was. He asked:
"If you have been diligent in your
lessons and perform all yonr duties
faithfully, you sleep well, don't you?"
The little boy shook his head.
"Let us suppose that you have also
been obedient to your parents don't
you experience feeling of quietness
when you retire to your couch?'
NO"
"But after you have given something
to the poor, been kind to your play
mates, do you not then sleep more
soundly?"

the ldlnlllaf road, so with llgEIcHeC
hearts they went on.
Leaving carriage and horse at the
village, they followed the rest of the
way on foot When they came to the
swinging white gate through the wet
grass they saw a pathway trodden by
one who had visited he long mound,
with the tiny one beside it, under the
oak, but they also saw that she had
gone thence to the house. So, weep
ing softly, and not ashamed of the tears
either, the party tip-toed like children
up the low, wide steps, through the
hall and paused reverently at the door
with remorseful hearts that longed to
tell that gentle old mother, as they had
once done over some childish disobedi-
ence, that they ''were sorry, mother" :"
The stiffness in the old house grew
oppressive while they stood uncertain,
and though they listened, there was no
faint football as of one going about
after the fashion OF one just getting
home. They pushed softly open the
door of the old sitting-room. and there,
with her white head on the open Bible
and smile of JOY and peace upon her
dead face, knelt grandma, who had
gone home to find welcome from her

with John, prayed With her little ones
in fearful grief when he was gone,
prayed for them when they slipped
from her arms out into the world, and
where she still nightly bent her stiff,
old knees to pray for them and theirs.
Grandma only loved the old house
better as the-years rolled by, but when
old Phoebe, who had been half servant,
half companion to the old lady, died, it
was decided in family council that she

ployes would be invaluable as instructors
at each decenn;al census. There can be
no question as to the desirability of
having timely and trustworthy infor-
nation regarding industrial progress
and the conditions affecting it, and a
continuous bureau is the only way by
which this can be secured. Its adVan-
tages would undoubtedly be worth the
cost of maintaining such a bureau.
THE chief objection to a free trade
treaty with the Hawaiian Islands is the
fact that the labor Of the islands is
largely performed by Chinese coolies
and free labor in California should not
be subjected to that style of competition.
