The Methodist book room authori-
ties in London have recently acquired
by purchase a manuscript book of SER
mon notes, bound in vellum, by DR..
Adam Clarke.
The university of Pennsylvania

In New York city children between
eight and fourteen are compelled by
law to attend school. There are
twelve agents of truancy who are kept
continually at work looking up the de-
linquents, and endeavoring to enforce
the law.
In New York public school are
two hand-rails along the stairs, one in
the usual place on the top of the bal
ustrade, and the other at about half
the height of the balusters; a hand
rail for the little children as well as
for children of larger growth.
Pope Leo Kill, in recent inter-
view, says the Montpelier Petit
Meridional, said: Science can and
ought to march forward with religion,
and the discoveries of the one can be
nothing but the Qualification of the
other. Science should be the servant
of God, and it can be so, you may rest
assured, without losing any of it's indie
pendence and dignity"
Miss Bilgrami of Hyderabad, the
first Mohammedan girl to try uni
versity examination, has passed the
first examination in arts at the Madras
university with honors in Arabic. Not
being allowed to leave the zenana,
she pursued her studies by herself un-
der very great difficulties, as she
could not attend college lectures. She
took her examination in girls school
under the eye of the head mistress.
Barnard college, the woman's an
mex of Columbia, has just received a
gift of 500, 600 from a benefactor whose
name is not revealed. 1t is simply
known that she is woman. This is
the second gift of 500, 900 that the col
lege has had within short period.
The first was for college building, on
condition that the trustees get lot on
Morningside Heights. The last gift is
to go also to the erection of the pro-
posed building. An effort is to be made
to raise sufficient money to purchase
the lot, the cost of which will be $780,
900. Toward this $4,000 has been
raised, and it is necessary for the rest
to be provided by the first of March.
A good friend of the institution has
promised $4,000 annually for three
years toward the running expenses.
These are $50, 900 annually, of which
fully one-half has been raised by popu-
lar subscription.

care Of the Poultry House.

whitewash the poultry house inside,
so as to make the interior light and
cheerful. Poultry have a repugnance
to dark quarters, and will remain out
side, exposed to storms, in preference
to resorting during the day to dark
and uncomfortable poultry house.
Ducks must be kept in house with a
board floor covered with straw. They
should be laying now, as they usually
begin early in the season.

Cast thy bread upon the waters, and
1t shall return to thee after many days "
1t would appear III what follows that
the bread returned in time for the sec
ond generation. Many years ago Comp
troller Eckels was Il small boy IN ILL
nois. AT this early age he bad taste
for trade. His father was we'll to do.
but the coming comptroller had strong
notion of making money for himself.
The easiest avenue Of commerce which
opened to his young feet WIS the apple
trade. He was but 8 years old at the
time, and it was his wont to occasional
ly wcnd his way to farmer Of the
neighborhood who had III unusually fine
brand of apples and buy basketful, and
then sell them at u ripe advance over
original cost.
In this way young Eckcls amused "a
boyish fortune. There was one thing
which he always recalls to The credit of
the farmer. 1t would seem that tho old
agriculturist had warm place in his
heart for boys, and he ALWAYS gave
young Eckels about twice Ms many ap-
Pies for his money rs the market nat
urally called for. In fact, lie sold apples
to young Eckels for about 80 cents ON
the dollar, and this low rate OH fruit
very much assisted ,hc youthful mer-
chant in money making
This, AS stated, was long ago. The
Old farmer has boon dead these many
years, but he has II son older than Comp
troller Eckels, who is now practicinu
law in New York city And a good law
yer he is-capable, thorough and hon
est, although not perhaps growing ire
mendously rich at his profession. When
EckeB became comptroller of the cur
repCy, he was aware of the whereabouts
and professional fortune of this son of
the old farmer who had so favored him
in the apple business.
In memory of the farmers generosity
Comptroller Eckels has seen TO it that a
great deal of the New York law bust
moss which had its enanation in his de
partment has fellen into the hands of
the son. 1t may be safely and couserva.

evidence against j. L. Vaughan and
the woman who were recently arrested
here and taken to Norfolk TO answer
the charge of robblug Miss Salie

altogether ciroumstantial. The couple
on being indicted were ba!led aud
came back here. The detective has
secured history of how the robbery
was committed and what became OF
the stolen goods. Some were burned
and others were pawned. Mr.. Hall can
now give the Norfolk authorities ample
facts upon which to convict the two
persons.

ing, and part Of it sp0ttered on the

He offered testimony to prove tho PROV

PORTSMOUTHNEWS
Thov Arc Bound TIA Have

lee VIRGINIAS has had numerous
causes to complain about losing sub.
scrloers on account of people borrow.
Ing the paper from their neighbors,
which annoys them and causes them to
stop the paper, making US the losers
by 1t. Que family, whose name
We will not give, borrows the paper
every morning from another family in
the neighborhood aud sends for
1t at the time that the parties who sub
scribe are reading it, frequently it is not
returned. The husband of the family
who does not have an opportunity TO
road the home paper at home, Dor.
rows it from one of the stores, thus
saving 20 cents a week. If the gentle.
man feels that he is not able to sub.
scribe and will so state to us, we will
put him on the free list. If he does
not want to go there for common
decency nske, don't annoy your neigh.
bors and make them tnlk and have us
lose by 1t.
Another mean thing is after the lit
tie boys have delivered the papers and
feel that they have done their duty,
don't go and steal them, as was the
case the other day when on, of our
route boys delivered paper on High
street .and started of; man came
along and deliberately took the
paper, the little fellow returned and
demonstrated with the man and
said that he would report him.
This cansed the party to use come
very ungentlemenly language. For the
sake of the disgrace it would bring on
him we will withheld his name, but
should this occur sgnin we will have
him arrested and publish his name in
full. If you are bound to have the
paper get it honest. Be man and buy
it, but don't steal it.
