REQUESTS OF BOOKS.
Early Encouragement of Learning by Ole
Londoners in Their Wills.

Early Encouragement of Learning by Ole
Londoners in Their Wills.
About the close of the fourteenth
century Londoners began to mention
gifts of books in their wills, and Simon
Bristowe, clerk, 1874, leaves his porti-
fory with music lying in quires to the
church of ST. Mary Aldermanbury.
John de Remington, rector of st. Dun
STAINS toward the Tower, left book
of the Epistles to that church, and also
money to buy books. But we find lit
tie encouragement given in these early
times to literature or learning.
Nearly 200 years later, in 1857, Thorn
as Lewen, ironmonger, directs that the
two poor scholars, one to be of Oxford
and the other of Cambridge; and DIR.
Sharpe adds in note that ''the sum
of ELS is now paid yearly to each Of
the exhlbitioners, instead of 81 los.
During the latter part Of the
reign of Henry VIII. bequestsfor ''pious
uses became rare, and the last of such
requests is made by John Watson,
brewer, 1874 Candles, masses, and
trentals have disappeared from wills,
and companies mo longer called
guilds, hospitals, scholars, and pris-
oners appear more frequently as lega-
tees.
The will of Sir Thomas Gresham,
mercer, 1879, indicates the estimation
in which the new learning was held in
Elizabeth's reign; he provides that lee
lures shall be read on divinity, astron-
omy, music, geometry, law, physic and
rhetoric. None to be chosen to read
lectures so long as he be married.
The Gresham lectures are still a power
in the land; do not know whether the

THE sHERlFF's MISTAKE.
He Thought the Lawyer Did Not Know Hi,
Business.

He Thought the Lawyer Did Not Know His
Business.
Some years ago country town in a
western state possessed an absent
minded old lawyer who was as strong
as the judge, at that time presiding,
was weak, and the lawyer felt such a
contempt for the judge that it was all
he could do to keep himself from being
fined for it. One day the judge during
a trial had to leave the bench for half
an hour and the court took a recess.
The old lawyer was studiously porting
over law book when all at once he
rose to his feet.
May it please your honor" he be-
gan, when the sheriff stopped him.
Whats the matter9'' he asked very
seriously.
"Why, sir, you forget YOURSELF re-
sponded the sheriff, who thought he
was in earnest.
"How, sir?" Numbered the old man
as if the sheriff had been witness I'M
der cross-examination.
There's no judge on the bench, sir, "
explained the sheriff.
"Well, who said there WASP queried
the lawyer Everybody In this coun.
ty knows that, sir, and has known it
for two years or more, and he sat down
amidst applause, just as the judge came
in Detroit Free Press.

WIN the children ChuckIed.

Speaking Of children-a story told me
by a mother of two little twin girls is
very funny.
The children were full of mischief
and the wonderful resemblance between
them served frequently for the subject
of some prank.
One night the nurse was giving each
of them bath. Having finished with
Edith she called for Edna.
About an hour later, hearing the chill
dren laughing in bed, she entered the
room, saying:
what are you children laughing
.about?"
80, nothing, replied Edna, ''only you
have given Edith two baths and haven't
given me any Philadelphia Press.

INTO thin air, but the reality remains. The
roads were still thcre-autonomy or coercion.
The choice lay between them, and the choice
made was TO repeal autonomy, and embrace
coercion. You cannot always follow coercion

Irish autonomy, according TO the conce ptions

plans, though they fell entirely short in prin-
ciple and in scope Of Irish self-government,
yet were OF no trivial or mean Importance.
They went far beyond what had, heretofore
been usually proposed in the way of local self
government for Ireland.

Newspaper Opinions.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Daily News says
OF the new home rule bill: at Is utterly
childish 10 call the bill separatist meas
ure. AS a whole, the bill Is so cautious
and moderate that 1t will probably con-
vert many moderates."
The Morning Post says: "The measure
Is more futile and fantastic than any be-
fore submitted to a civilized assembly,"
The Standard says: "The measure II
impracticable and impossible. The de-
tails are open to stronger objection than
those of the bill OF 49,"
The Daily Graphic says: "The prospects
OF the bill are not rosy. The measure
bristles with difficulties"
The Times says: "Those whom Mr..
Gladstone failed to convince In 1885 will
not be converted now by less powerful
and less persuasive appeal"
The comments Of q score OF leading pro-
vincial dailies show that the Unionists
have no disposition TO give the bill any
quarter.
The Dublin Freeman's Journal says:
"Whilst open to improvement, the bill IL
altogether n good water-tight measure"
The Irish Times says: "Ulster says
simply that IL will not have it."
The Irish Independent says: "On the
points OF police and finance, the bill
seenSs especially bad, and iustifies Mr..
Parnell's account of his interview with
Mr.. Gladstone"

ing tribute 60 Mr.. Gladstone ana oec:afed
that the provisions of the bill were on the
whole better than those of the bill OF 1886.
The financial proposals were less just to
Ireland than those of the bill of 1886. His
party was not disposed to make any
trouble concerning the retention Of Irish
members at Westminster, but 1t was
probable that when home rule had been
established their voices would be silent in
the House unless the other members
trou bled them.
Mr.. Gladstone, In answer to Sir Ed
ward Clarke, said the land question was
reserved to the imperial parliament for
three years.
Members then trooped out into the
lobbies where the speech was formally
discussed. The Gladstonian Liberals
were disposed to receive il as a concilia-
tory, we'll balanced and peacemaking
measure and seemed hopeful as to q Sec
ond reading. The anti-Parnellite MEM
bers, while guarded in their utterances,
favored the bill as a whole and were es-
pecially we'll pleased with the financial
arrangements. As to the vote, for the
present the anti -Parnellites would not
say more than that they would keep an
open mind in regard to it. All that the
Tories would say was that the new bill
was more sagacious and better drawn
than that of 1886. The Liberal Unionists
declared that the bill would never reach
the committee stage in the House OF
Commons.
Meantime, in the House, Col. Saunder-
son spoke vehemently against any and
every plan OF home rule. The Ulster
Loyalists. he said, would offer to the last,
the bitterest opposition to any home rule
scheme. On the motion OF Col. Saunder-
son, the debate was then adjourned.
Mr.. Sexton's speech embodied the re-
suits OF hasty deliberation of the Irish
party under the presidency of Justin
Mccarthy. The text Of the bill win prob.
ably not appear until the end OF tbs
veek.

Company OF Providence is the only as

that confines its business strictly TO Life
Assurance. Il was originated by men
who have had a practical training in the

for the benefit of the laboring class Of
people, giving them equal privileges
with the capitalist. Its plans combine
Life Assurance and Invest rent. In fact,
its policies are equal TO a Savings Bank
Book, as money can always be obtained
upon them after three annual payments
have been made. This Company issues
its policies on the monthly-payment
