Thccharocters Of two men arc very
fairly brought out in the following
incident: Thorwaldsen, the Danish
sculptor, was absolutely single mind
ed in his devotion to artistic truth.
Ho would never have consented to
falsify what IL for the sake Of what
ought to be.
Lord Byron, on the contrary, had
80 much small vanity that he could
not resist posing. When in Rome,
the poet went to Thorwaldsen to sit
for a statue Hc got into position
and assumed an expression of coun-
tcnancc quite different from his ev-
eryday look.
NY lord" said Thorwaldsen,
"be 80 good as to sit perfectly still.
Only, l beg Of you, do not look 80
disconsolate.
This Is the expression which
characterizes my face, said Byron
Indeed" replied the sculptor
And without any further attention
to Byron's suggestions he worked
away according to his own ideas
When the bust was finished, thu
sculptor was quito satisfied with it
and SO were Byron's friends. Only
one person complained, and that wa
the poet himself. \.
THAT is not my face" he said
Il look much more unhappy.

INnTIIEK NInE.

It Is expected that there will be many more or less wise attempts to induce the present Connecticut legisla- ture to deal with the temperance dues- ton. and among the plans to make men "temperate" that may be pressed is what is known as the Gothenburg system. Hitherto most of that which has been made public concerning this system has been very favorable, but that there are at least two sides to the system and its workings has been made plain by recent student of 1t. The system in Gothenburg itself IS conducted by a limited liability com pany known as the "Bolag," and its shareholders receive only six per cent interest on the paid-up capital. Seven tenths of the remaining profits are paid into the town chest, and the rest is divided between the crown and the district agricultural society. There are seventy-four liquor shops under US control, and they cover the whole or the retail traffic in spirits; but beside these. and not under its control are 7SO places in Gothenburg where beer and wine are sold. The retail trade in beer perYades the whole town, and is subject to no control whatsoever. It is thus seen that in Gothenburg the system is not one for the general con- trol of the sale of intoxicants. It Is success to the extent that statistics show that the sale of spirits in Goth enburg has diminished by about one half since 1875. It has also done much to reduce the number and improve the character of the public houses, but 1t has not reduced the amount of drunk enness, as measured by police con yictions, and it has not changed It's type and quality. It Is beer drunken ness, not spirit drunkenness, which af- fects the city of Gothenbufg; but the disease, if less deadly, has not been ] eradicated.
 If prohibition doesn't prohibit and fl
 the much vaunted Gothenburg system
 doesn't decrease drunkenness what car
 be done except to stick to a good license law that isn't enforced?

nINGRATS.

Anybody who is interested in any thing worth speaking of is, or ought to be, interested in the words that are or may be used in speaking of it. So the Boston Journals study of the word "dingbats" is well worth the attention of all who do not know exactly what a dingbat is, One writer, who spent his boyhood in Maine, thinks that a ding bat is a spanking, because his dear mother was wont to threaten to put the dingbats on him. From Wilbraham Academy comes the explanation that it means the breakfast biscuit, which the students dispose of by sticking it to the under side of the table, throwing it at the heads of other students or eating it. A Connecticut pupil states that to receive punishment at the hands of the teacher is known as getting the ding bats" Two Philadelphians agree that it means money. as in the sentence, rye got the dingbats for it." But New Hampshire agrees with Maine that it means spanking.
 It appears that the word dingbat may with much propriety be applied to tllt painful and violent action known g. spanking. Although the word does no exist in the aristocratic dictionaris
 the words "ding" and "bat" are bou there. To ding is to strike and 6 "bat" is a blow. So "dingbat" may fairly be a spanking, and there is nC doubt that it is in some parts of New England. A biscuit which is harl enough to use to hit anybody with may also we'll be a dingbat. When a bis. cult is so soft that it can be stuck or the under side of table, calling it 2 dingbat is a very soft and not entirely plain application of the word. To cal money "dingbats" appears to have little appropriateness, though if one has mon ev he can strike blows in the world il so disposed.
 Thirty years ago in at least one Mas sachusetts town dingbat meant some
 thing hard that could be thrown at any
 body. Hard as a dingbat" was com

Al GoOD MOVE.

At its meeting last evening the Board of Education voted that the su- perintendent notify the principals or the high schools that hereafter no meet ing of the pupils of these schools shall he held in either of the school buildings for any purpose not connected with their studies, except class meetings TOT ohiects approved by the principals of the schools.
 This is a good move. It is intended to discourage the ridiculous and hlgh- falutin secret society business that mas attained such proportions in the Hill house High School as to seriously inter- fere with study and in some cases with good-nature also. Some of the young ladies and young gentlemen who are profting by the bounty of the public in that school are as much concerned with their secret societies as are some of the young gentlemen of Yale With
 
 theirs. These societies breed rivalry break as well as make friendship, and in many ways disturb minds which should be mainly studious. Of course the board does not expect to break UT the societies, any more than the rulers of Yale expect to break up the trouble some societies of the university. But it has been thought best not to allow the members of the societies to longer carry on their fights and their friendli
 ness in meetings in the rooms of tht high school buildings. This action vii probably be looked upon by those against whom 1t is directed as a das tardly assault on human rights, but i
 will be approved by most of the mem bers of this community who do no want or think they ought to have tn use of public school rooms for thei | lodge meetings. It will perhaps hay l a. tendency to make the secret younl | gentlemen and young ladies more secre l than ever, but those who have be come disgusted with their too conspic | uous goings-on will call that benefit
