Is This Fair.

Men manage the schools very alb
surdly in some respects. For instance,
when teachers give scholars their month
" reports they are directed by board
rules to say, "Have your father sign
this. if he is living; otherwise your
mother" How ridiculous that is when
the mothers know ten times as much
about what their children are doing in
school as the fathersl But the rule is
natural enough. The father is the
owner of the child. Yes, that is true.
Legally, the father Of any child can
give it away or apprentice it or offer
it for adoption without the mother
consent or even her knowledge. The
society for the prevention of cruelty Il
children would probably prevent such a
thing, but the law is wrong just the
same. The mother knows most about
her children, does most for them, is best
acquainted with them, but her legal
rights are less than his. Is that fair?

Your Coming.

You came to my life as the morning

When night stole away with her dreaming,
Her tears in her pearly dew cleaning,
She folded in nantes of mist.
You found me enthralled by the winter
OF sorrow. You touched me, and loi
Life thrilled through my being with glad
ness.
Like a rill in its rollicking madness,
or daffodils under the snow.
You 90, and IL seems like the sunlight
Has gone Ger the mountains white

And the valley is somber and shrouded,
The murmurous river all clouded.
Flowing out TO the sea of the West.
But you leave new hope-inspirations-
That all Of my dreamings outrun;
And / wait in the soft, dewy sweetness,
In the Joy of my beings completeness,
AS the sunfowers wait for the sun.
Life waits for the dawn of the future.
And across the mystic beyond
An echo is rising and falling,
A voice DER the chasm is calling
Your soul and my own shall respond.

Probably no other show in the Midway
Plaisance attracted so much attention
from all classes Of Worlds Fair visitors
as "Hagenbeck's." Many persons went
again and again to see the wonderfully
trained wild animals. BY everyone it
was admitted that nothing TO equal the
horseback riding lions had ever been
seen in this country, and they were only
one feature of performance where each
act seemed only less marvellous than the
last. Karl Hagenbeck is unquestionably
the king of animal trainers, and Prof.

Capt. MOIIard's Figures.
Capt. Mollard of the military school
Of St. Syr recently published a
very interesting pamphlet on the armies
Of Europe and their relative grOwths
since 1869. Europe. says Capt. Mollard,
now devotes nearly FIVE milliards of
francs a year to her fighting forces. In
1870 she could at the utmost bring 7,0O0,-
900 of soldiers into active service. She
now dispOses of 1880, 900 and will soon
have p, 900, 900.
The conclusion Capt. Mollard draws is
that Prince Bismarck's policy of blood
and iron and the seizure of Alsace-Lor-
raine have given rise to these monstrous
facts, and that every nation might be
led to disarm were restitution made by
Germany to France. He takes his mill
tary statistics, he says, from official
sources only.
