The bays and girls going to the
public schools in that country must
get up every morning and he at their

school until o'clock, except in -"

ar dismissed at noon. There is n va
cation Of ore week 81 christmas, one
at Easter. one at Whit Sunday aud
three at barvast time, in September.
This harvest holiday corresponds to
our summer vacation. The German
students, therefore, get six weeks more
schooling each year than is had by
the school children OF the United
States. But worse than sll this, the
boys and girls must also 20 TO school
on Saturday. Two half days OF lei

cities these are usually spent in such
places as the botanical gardens, muse
ums, etc, where everything is fully
explained by their teachers, who al
ways accompany them.

IN SWEDEN.
Ii is said that illiteracy is almost
unknown in Sweden. All children
are expected to be in school between
the agss OF aud Ia, which rule is
strictly enforced after the ninth year.
Women in that country are allowed
10 belong to the School Boards. The
Swedish boys and girls have IL attend
school only 80 weeks in each year,
leaving only four months OF holiday.
Swejes do not believe 10 incumbering
the children Of the primary grade with
too much study, but add more practi.
cal instruction than is gwen in other
countries. For instance, one Of their
studies is "The Effects of Alcoholic
DRINKS on the Human Organism.

RussIA's STRICT RULES.

The rules governing school children
in Russia are applied net only when
they are at school hut when on the
street, or even at home. For instance
children in certain grades are forbid
den to visit institutions Of pleasure,
excepting only the botanical gardens.
Then can go to the theatsrs only when
permission is given by the authorities.
Ii is also against these rules for school
children to attend public balls, mas
querader, clubs, dancing evenings,
tea gardens, cafe houses, confection'
aries, billiard halls" ETC., or to 90
batting, take pleasure walks or be
out Of doors later than 3 o'clock.
Each schoolboy has a regular uniform
which must be worn at all times. To
this is added knapsack for books
and other school supplies. 1t is a
serious violation of the laws for a
child to appear on the street without
all OF bic bottoms buttoned. The law
also demands that scboolboys shall
salute teachers and officials of the
state with a polite bow, at the same
time removing their hats.
Switzerland has many strange Gus
toms regarding the public schools
Great care is taken in that country tc
teach the laws Of health and nleanli
, ness. In some places bathrooms ART
built in connection with the schools,
aud in these pupils are taught the
chemical effects of soap and water.

vester Malone of New York.
The sermon was by DIR. Thomas O'Gor-
man of the Catholic University at Wash
ington. his text being: 1.-The lips of the
priest shall keep knowledge, and they shall
seek the law at his mouth. because he is
the angel of the Lord of Hosts"
1t was an eloquent portrayal of the work
and preparation for the work of the priest
At the conclusion of the mass the build
ings were thrown open for the inspection
Of the multitude.

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
Mr.. Chugwater entered the store with the
confident air of a man who knew exactly
what he had come to buy and was prepared
to pay the cash for it.
Il want a pattern No. 99,674," he said,
for thirty-eight-inch waist"
Are you sure that's the right size?"
asked the young woman behind the coun-
ter.
"Yes, that's the size my wife told me to
get"
'Is it for her?" said the young woman,
with some hesitation of manner.
Il don't know that that makes any diff
ference" rejoined Mr.. Chugwater. slightly
raising his voice, but 1 have no objects
to stating that it is"
Il beg pardon, but--but would you mind
telling me how much she weighs?"
"She weighs about $50 pounds"
II thought so,' said the young woman,
reaching promptly for something in one of
the pigeon holes behind her. ITS 2S-inch
size the lady wants. A 3s-inch would be
about the right size for 3T5-pound person,
and we don't keep it in stock. Twenty-Five
cents, please"
Mr.. Chugwater paid the money, put the
pattern in his pocket, and walked out of
the store with a curious feeling that he had
shrunken three or four sizes too small for
his clothes and that forty gigglins girls
had seen him shrink.
