An rnterrnnted Grafton.

An Amherst graduate, night or two
ago, in q reminiscent mood. related the fol-
lowing story Of school days to some friends;
Good old DR.. b. had the somewhat dis
couraging task of training us TO become
the country's future orators. We always
called him 'prexy Rhetoricals.' lie was an
eccentric old fellow, and had a habit Of
cutting our weekly declamations short that
he might go home early in the afternoon.
We never could know when one OF us might
be cut off in the most eloquent part Of some
stirring bit of oratory with the stereotyped
remark, Very well done; nextN
"Tom Cotting was the most promising
member of the class for the oratorical lau-
reateship. One afternoon when 'Prexy
was in greater hurry than ever 20 finish
declamutions, Tom held us spellbound bya
mastery rendering of the speech of spar
tacus to the Gladiators.' just as he was
launching out his defiance Of the Roman
tyrants, prexy' cut him of in the usual
way.
"Tom, the next week. when his turn
came, mounted the platform, and, making
most profound bow, carelessly remarked;
AS / was saying last week when was
interrupted, after Spartacus,' and then he
launched into the remainder of the speech.
'prexy' was speechless, and that afternoon,
and for several afterward, the boys were al
lowed to finish their pieces without inter
ruption. boston Globe.

A volume Of memoirs has been published
giving the experiences of a French prcsi-
dent of the assize 1t bears curious testi-
mony to the inaccuracy of women on the
subject of their own ages As the writer's
information is from the calendar, be speaks
only of the criminal classes The only in-
stances in which he finds correct dates
given by women are when they are under
twenty-five or over eighty-five. At these
periods of life, he says, they are TO be
trusted.
At all other periods the sure controlling
tendency is to understate. The magistrate
has been able to give rule for guidance.
He finds that female prisoners invariably
state their ages as twenty-nine, thirty-nine,
forty-nine or fifty-nine, and from this re-
markable circumstance he deduces hisrule.
If their ages are in the forties they boldly
set them down in the thirties, but con-
science asserting itself, they keep as near
the truth as they can and fix them at thir-
ty-nine Whether male criminals do the
same the magistrate does not state.-Lon-

Want the Delinquent Law.
Some of the Kent county Democrats
will make an effort to have the old
delinquent law re.enacted, so far, at
least, as to apply to Kent county. Under
the present law, it is impossible to drop
a man from the list and the Republicans
take advantage of this condition of
affairs to simply keep their men qualified
by bogus tax receipts, or, when these
fail, to pay tax for them every two or
four years.
