An EnDeror Rebused

A French journal tells a story, which
deserves to be true, of q Chinese man
DARN who dared 10 speak the truth to
the cmperOr--not a very safe proceed
ing, rs is commonly supposed, when
the emperor happens to DE in passion.
The favoritc horse of Emperor Isl
had. died through the negligence of the
man to whose care he was intrusted.
The emperor, in his rage, would have
run him through, but. the mandarin
TentrSe interposed and parried the
blow. .-..-..
Sire" he cried, "this man is not yet
charged with the crime for which he
deserves to die" -.
"Well, then" said the, emperor, tell
him what it u.s."
."Listcn. you scoundrel," said the
minister, "to an enumeration of the
crimes that you have committed: First,
Jou have allowed horse to perish
which the emperor had intrustcd to
your safe keeping. Moreover, it is
owing TO you that our sovereign be-
came so eXaspcratcd that he was on
the point OF killing you with his own
hand. And lastly, it is your fault that
he was about to disgrace himself in the
eyes of everyone by killing man for a
horse"

'Why was not that place reserved

"Well. sir, I'm very sorry replied

CHRTSTIAN COURTESY.

The Columbian Catholic congress at Chi cago was big affair. One of the most notable and significant incidents connected with 1t was the invitation given to eolored dark colored) Catholics to take seats on the floor of the meeting place with the members. It looked for . moment as If
 there might be slight friction on the pro-
 posal The motion was made by adele gate from Texas A delegate from Mary
 land feared that there might not be room
 enouvh h on the floor to admit all and sug-
 gested an amendment, which remained
 without a second, that only a committee
 be invited. Archbishop Ireland, with the
 breadth of spirit which ohsracterizss all
 his views on public questions, asked leave to speak to the motion, and with 6 brief burst of characteristic fervor he bore the house unre sistingly along with him ir support of the motion not only to give seats to all the colored delegates and visi tore, but even in an expressed regret | that their number was not hundredfolC greater.
 Such an exhibition of Christian courtes, | as this is cheering. There have beer | meetings of Christians where the idei | seemed to be that though dark -coloret Christians might get seats among the cleo in heaven they were not entitled to seat | among the elect on earth.

The old arguments for the self perpetua- ton of the Board of Education gre once more trotted out. They are wind-broken, spavined and knock-kneed, but they can still stsgger around the course.
 Oh, how those members of the Board who have repominsted themselves have lsbored for the good of the schools they 80 much love! Oh, what thankless and un- appreciated task theirs has beenl Oh, how they have sat up nights and wrangled and squabbled among themselves in fruit less effort to help make up the Boards mindl Oh, how much they do know about education Oh, how little does anybody else know about 1t in comparison with thems Oh, how capable they are of spend ing the districts money! Oh, how incapable of such work is anybody elsel And oh how they do want to stay in the places that are 30 hard and thankless! They have been martyrs to their public spirit and sense of duty for many years, but like some of the martyrs of Fox's book they are willing to be most thoroughly roasted for that which they do believe in.
 Dear brethren, and also sisters who can vote, let's not persecute these worthy suf- ferers for the public good any longor. even if they are willing to suffer further. They are entitled to rest on their own showing. Let's put fresh ones on the gridiron. It is wrong to ride free horse to death or to roast even a willing martyr fo death

ABANDONED FARMS.

We are hearing a good deal just now about the abandoned farms" of New Eng
 land, and efforts are being made to induce people to buy them and live on them It Is interesting to note that the same tend eney which has led to the abandonment of farms in New England is operative in Ger many. Not only has the city of Berlin in- creased in population nearly two hundred per cent. in the last quarter of a century rate of progress four times as rapid as that of London-but almost all the great towns in Germany exhibit 6 similar ten dency to augment their population at the expense of the country. In many parts there are not enough laborers to perform the necessary agricultural operations. The country Is, in fact, becoming deserted, and in some cases land Is approaching its "prairie value." In the kingdoms of Saxony and Bavaria at this moment there are eaid to be many small farm houses each with @ large plot of garden land advertised for sale at prices which elsewhere would bare | ly suffice to pay the ordinary conveyano- ing fees. One little property of this sort, for instsuce, is offered to any purchaser for the ridiculous sum of twenty dollars, and another for less than fifty dollars,
 house and land included, all freehold.
 People do like to live in the city, and
 they can't be easily persuaded that 1t ii
 better for them to live in the country.

The sleeves have huge puff of the accor- deen pleated cloth with insertions of lace and are finished with a pleatei frill that hangs over the tight cuff and is gar nished with two lace insertions The puff is tied above the elbow with black satin ribbon. The skirt of the dress it trimmed all It's length with three inch bias folds of white cloth piped with black
