Not n Fairy Tale.

Three good little boys, johnnie,
Jimmie and Willie went out for a
stroll in the woods one day, and, in
the course Of their ramblss, came
scroeS q queer looking machine. The
boys, innocent of any harm, began to
play around it, they climbed all over
it, and fooled with it until at length
by some hidden power, as it were, the
toothed wheel reVolved and caught
them, tearing their clothes, skinniug
their faces and peeline their noses.
After they had given vent to their
feelings in whines that woke the
echoes, they wiped away their tears
and began 20 discuss the cause of
their di1apidated appearance. John
ME was the first to speak, saying,
"What kind of a machine is that?',
Jimmie did not know, as such things
were not used where he was born.
But Willie, with the readiness Of
the American boy, spoke up and said,
II know what the blamed thing is.
It's a buzz saw" The Toys talked
the matter over, and concluded Will
lie was right. They could not under
stand, however, for a long time what
bad set the blamed thing in motion :.
Finally Jimmie gathered up bis wits
and ii mildly said, II know what start
ed it," TIE other boys went close to
him, and, with a sad voice, he said,
Somebody has stolen some of John
mes 'demagogic dynamite aid put #
under the machine and the dinged
stuff went Off" 49,
The boys went sadly homewar
after this bright explanation, not so
pretty us they were onoe, but they
had heap more sense to compensate
for their loss of beauty.
The moral OF this tale is that School
Trustees shoald not monkey with the
character of an editor when he criti-
cises their official actions.
Witt, this little story we leave til Q
Trustees to the misery of their con-
sciences until they break over the
fence again

A Caii1ornia Fish Story.

The latest fish story comes from
California and runs AZ follows:
One Winter there was such an un-
usual run Of salmon in the Sacramento
river that IN forcing their way up
'stream they ran against and broke
several piles that supported q railroad
bridge and it ssgged in the center,
making it unsafe for. q train 10 pass
over it. 1t was near train time. and
the salmon, noticing the damage they
had done, got together, piled one on
top of the other, raised the bridge to
Ats proper level aud held it up until
the train passed over it in safety.

In our article, yesterday, ON the

Trustees held the resignation Of the

statement is an unintentional error
and arose from a misunderstanding
Of the facts in the case as given to US.
That part OF our article should read
as follows; The Trustees received
tho resignation about the middle Of

Tho Contractors For Removing tho Del
ware River Islands We're Not Working
Satisfactorily.
The contract for the improvement of
the Delaware river in front Of Philadel-
phia entered into between the United
States and Messrs. Mundy & Co., under
which the removal of Smiths and
Petty's islands has been in progress for
some time past, was annulled Thursday
afternoon by the Secretary of War,
upon the recommendation of Major
Raymond, the engineer in charge and
the approval of the chief Of engineers.
This action was decided upon for the
reason that the contractors, owing to
insutliciency Of plant and consequent
delays in the prosecution of the work,
We're unable to complete the work in
hand to the satisfaction Of the govern
ment, The department has received
numerous complaints from citizens of
Philadelphia setting forth that the
interests of the city and of the govern
ment demanded that prompt measures
should be taken by the war department
70 push the work TO an early completion.
Recent acts OF Congress give the war
department authority to make contracts
covering the entire work, and provision
is made for providing the necessary
funds in the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill. 1t is probable that The department
will invite proposals and reet the con.
tract in time to continue operations in
the spring.

THE OYSTER.
At First it is Iuiinitcaimal, But it Grows,
rs we Know.

New York Ledger.
On beginning its career the oyster is
so small that 2,O0J00O oysters would
only occupy square inch. In six
months each individual oyster is large
enough to cover nickel, and in IL
months tt quarter. The oyster is its
own architect, and the shell grows as
the fish inside grows, being never too
small. 1t also bears its age upon its
back, for on its shell are successive
layers overlapping one another, techni-
cally termed shots and each one
makes years growth.
BY counting them the age of the
oyster can be determined Up to the
time OF its matnrity-that is, when four
years of age--the shots are regular and
successive; but after that time they be-
come irregular and are piled one upon
another, So that the shell becomes bulky
and thickGned. Fossil oysters have
been seen Of which each shell was nine
inches thick, whence they may be
judged to be more than 800 years old.
One to two million oysters are pro-
duced from Il single parent, and their
scarcity is accounted for by the fact
that man is not the only oyster-eating
animal. The stal-iish loves the oyster,
and prcys upon 1t increasingly. a.
variety of whelk is also very fond Of
young oysters, to get at which it bores
right through the shell and sucks the
fish up through the hole thus made.

ments of preparation are attended with
rigorous and austcre repression Of pub
licity. No one can tell you why. Ii is
simply so. 1t has always been so. ON
the contrary, as in Cornwall, funerals
are drawn out to the utmost limit of
sympathetic attention. The body is
carried, never driven, to the church
yard. Hours, often days, are consumed
from the start to the church. lnnumer-
able delays give occasion for innumcr-
able outbursts of affection, and the
singing Of an equal number Of lugu-
brlous psalms, intoned in such shrill
minor strains that the weirlest and most
thrilling of keening at Irish wakes is
often surpassed. The origin of this
custom is also a mystery. No matter to
the sturdy Manx. Anything different
would be sorrow for the living, a wrong
to the dead.
In the tender holiday time when these
words will be read, Manx folk Of the
remote countrysides will have already
celebrated their most cherished custom.
Though discountenanced by the clergy
it has almost tiercely held its own since
the Introduction of Christianity in the
island. This is the service of Oiel
Yerree, undoubtedly a corruption of
Feaill Vorrey, literally the Feast of
Mary. To supercede this, church au-
thorities hold Christmas eve services.
But they are of no avail. When the
lights are out, some one is always found
with key to the sacred editice. Then
from the remotest corners of the parish
come all, young and old, each with a
long lighted tallow dip, tied about With
a bit of ribbon or rosette.
AS the midnight nears, old men ad ;
vance toward the communion and chant
the widest, weirdest carols and dtties
mortal ears may know. Most are ad-
dressed to the Virgin. Some are in
honor Of Saga-time heroes. Still others
are of wreck and death. Singers and
listeners often reach tremendous pitch
Of exultation. Strange and wild these
midnight scenes at the moment Of Ma
tivity in Mainland. The bardc strain
OF old, held true and firm down the
shining line of thousand years, thus
once each year flashes its flames through
Christian ferVor in this dear little Isle
of Man" EDGAR l.. WAKEMAN.

There is no more phiianthropic work
in New York than the FLORENCE Grit
tenton Mission located at Nos. 81 and
% Bleeckcr street, New York, for the
rescue of unfortunate and erring
women. This bencficent home was
founded about ten years since by Mr..
Charles N. CrittentOn, and through its
blessed portals about two hundred err
ing and unfortunate girls pass annually
to better Christian life, and three
quarters of these are permanently re.
deemed, and become honorable wives
and mothers, or earn their living by
honest industry. The girls are given II
home, shelter, food and medicine, and
above all, they are pointed to the
saviour. Meetings are held every night
in the year, and the chapel is crowded
with the erring and the unfortunate,
and many conversions are the results.
The expense is very heavy for carrying
on the work, and it is hoped that alt
whose hearts go out to these darkcned
lives will aid this "AlisSou,n by dona-
tions of money, food or clothing, which
can I've sent to the mission" Nos. 81
and % Bleecker street, New York. All
money and checks made payable 10 the
order of "Florence Mission will be
duly acknowledged by the treasurer.
Dear Christian people, let your hearts
open wide to these, Christ's little ones,
and to you will come His benediction:

THE GERMAN lR.HY BILL,
1t is Generally Condemned in Its Present
shape aud VIII Never become IL Law.

Shhpe Huu VIII never become Il LAW.
BERLIN, Dec 22.-'The NORTH German
Gazette, an official organ of the govern
mcnt, to-day published an article on the
Army bill, in the course of which it
says that the Federal government re-
CARDS as impossible the Introduction of
the two years service system without
an increase in the military establish
ments and cadres. If these conditions
are rejected, the Gazette adds, it will be
necessary to revert to universal three
years service, as pieccmeal reform in
the army is impracticable.
The paper further says that the bill
was drafted under the conviction that
since 1871 Gcrmany's defensive power
has not Increased to the same extent as
that of Russia and France, and that in
the event of war Germany would have,
under present conditions, relatively
small force at her disposal. The measure
is now in the hands Of committee of
2S members of the reichstag, and it is
generally conceded that In its present
shape IL will never become law.
The Conservatives, who have never
before opposed the governments plans
for reforming the army, have stated,
thlouSh thell lcdueTs III lHe pelCHstag,
that they will support the two years
service system, but will oppose every
other provision of the bill. 1t is thought
that, TO secure its passage, even in q
modified form, the government will be
compelled to make concessions to some
of the political groups, notably the
Centrists or Clerical party, whose united
support of the bill, could it be secured,
would result in its adoption. That
changes will be made in committee is
certain, but what these will be cannot
be predicted at present.

Yet never a fairy we found on our way.
Do they hide from sight
Til the starry night,
And while we are sleeping steal ont and

Over the fields of the nsw-mown hay,

CARRIED DOWN THE LADDEN IN 4
IDAHo DIAMoND tIELps.


BoIEs, IpA., Dec. ga. Kunze, the
diamond expert who has been examining
the alleged diamond fields here, has gone
to Chicago. taking with him several speci-
mens. He said
THE lay of the country around the d;a-
mond field is precisely the same as in
South African fields and not unlike those
of Brazil. The only difference is that
these are not as much broken up. In my
opinion these diamond fields will be larger
than either those Of Africa or Brazil, the
blowouts or shafts being Il great deal
larger and more clearly dehnedm
