The bill TO establish normal school in
Mt. Pleasant was called up in the house
again last week, and to the surprise of every
one. passed by vote of 81, and to clinch the
matter, the bill is given immediate effect.
Mr.. Brown who has championed the bill in
the house, Is confident that he can get it
through the senate, although that body has
passed the bill of Mr.. Shaw of Newaygo
upon this same matter, which is identical in
language and purpose with the one passed
10y the house. 1t Is not thought that there
will be any trouble in amicably adjusting
any difficulties that may exist and pass a
bill mutually satisfactory.

The Redfern pure food bill passed the
house the other day. Before its passage II
was amended restoring the provision of the
original dill prohibiting the manufacture of
fruit jelies and preserves which shall in
color and general appearance resemble the
real article.
No application was made of this same
doctrine TO oleomargarine; but the shrewd
plan adopted by the enemies of artificial
butter was shown when favorable report
was presented on bill prescribing penalty
for the manufacture of oleomargarine made
to represent yellow butter, On its receipt in
the senate the Redfern bill was referred to
the public health committee. the chairman
of which declares that before the Legislature
adJourns measure will be passed which will
be perfectly satisfactory 70 the farmers.

The date for final adjournment of the legis-
lature of 1895 has been fixed for May 81.
This date will make the session for 1895 two
days longer than that of 1893. In order TO
accomplish as much work a. possible both
branches will hold sessions Saturdays, and
II Is not improbable that night sessions will
be held frequently during the next two or
three weeks.

The gift of the Irish peasant for
making expressive and humorous
phrases is not by any means fiction
of literature fThe use OF pat" phrases
is natural to him. A clerical traveller
in Cavan not long ago asked a peasant
how far it was to certain village ana
was answered, 1.-TWO miles" What!
Only two miles?" said the traveller,
who had before traversed the distance
and found it long road. "Well, your
reverence" answered the peasant, sit
is two miles sthrong and rich, so to
spake." a somewhat similar story is
told by one of Lord zetlands party,
who were making inquiries into the di-
rection OF q distressed district They
were crossing lake; a gale was blow
ing, and waves were dashing over the
boat The gentleman referred to had
been assured that an Irish peasant. il
treated we'll, will always agree with
what is said to him, rather than ap-
pear disagreeable, 1t struck the gen
tleman that here was good chance to
put the assertion to the proof. "There
is very little wind, Pat" he said to
one of the boatmen. The answer came
through the bowling of the elements:
VERY little, indade, yer honor, but
fhwat there is is moighty sthrong."

The Massachusetts board of concili-
