The following incident happened at
the Criterion theater in London the 9TH
er evening. At the end of one of the
scenes Mr.. Wyndham tells fellow actor
to go down stairs and he will follow
him in three minutes. Then, as he takes
out his watch, the curtain should de-
scend. On this occasion, however, it
failed to do SO, and the Squire of Danes
reclined on the sofa, patiently waiting.
An almost painful pause occurred. The
curtain jerked, but would not fulfill its
mission, and Mr.. Wyndham, realizing
the situation, again pulled out his
watch, and said, "Ah, two minutes
have passed" There was another pause,
after which he arose and announced
that "the time was up and he must go.
As he left the stage the curtain at last
descended and Mr.. Wyndham's ready
wit was much applauded. - London

Eduuatiou In Old Prru.

Education was monopolized by the inca
and the nobility. The teachers were called
'amauta. The ''quipu" were the books.
The quipu was a small cord from one to
two feet long, made Of variously colored
threads twisted together. From this, other
smaller, thinner cords were hung, forming
fringe. Az the cords were OF different
Uolors. The colors represented objects,
such as gold. silvers sometimes white sig
nifled peaces red, war; but they werc
chiefly used FOR calculation. The fringe
end cord were tied into number Of knots,
which stood. for oiphers, and these, used
in conjunction with the colors, could be
made to represent any amount required
These quipu were also the records by
which statistics from all parts Of the coun-
try relating to population, trade, military
and local affairs, etc., were preserved.
They were deposited in the Peruvian
Somerset House" at CuzGo.
In this respect the Peruvians were far
behind the Aztecs, who had a systsm of
hieroglyphios which, although poor SUBJ
stitute for an alphabet of arbitrary signs
was yet capable of expressing more and in
clearer manner than could the quipu
These records were under the charge of
the amauta, who taught their pupils from
them. This was the way history passed
down from generation to generation, and
Ii is easy to understand how an eveMb
might become exaggerated and aiStorted.

Obituary.

RoUscH. Mary A. Rousch was
born in Welchburgbauger, Germany,
July 18th, 1919, died in Henry coun-
ty, o., January 4th, 1896, at the age
of rs years, months and % days. To
her union she was blessed with s
children, girls and 2 boys,
40 grandchildren and Z great-grand-
children and vast circle of friends
and relatives to mourn her untimely
departure. She was laid to her last
resting place on Tuesday in the
Knipp cemetery With Rev. Fisher
officiating. She was a kind mother
and hard worker and always tried
to do others good and make others
happy as well as herself. She bore he
aches and pains patiently till the
master called enough, thou faithful
servant well done, and went to her
long sleep in peace never to see this
earth's sun rise nor set any more,
but to wake in glory up yonder in
the city of pure gold where the sun
never sets and the leaves never fade
and to meet her loved ones gone on
before, who have already worn the
starry crown and sang the songs of
melody, Peace to her ashes.
Only waiting till the shadows,
Are little longer grown,
Only waiting till the glimmer,
Of the days best beam is flown,
Till the night of death has faded,
From the heart once full of day,
Till the stars Of heaven are breaking,
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the reapers,
have the last sheaf gathered home,
Forthe summer tide has faded,
And the autumn winds have come,
Quickly reapers gather quickly
All the ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is withered
And hastened to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the pearly gate,
At whose portals long I've fingered,
Weary, poor, and desolate,
Even now Ihear their footsteps
And their voices far way,
III they call me am waiting, .
Only waiting to obey.
Waiting for brighter dwelling,
Than ever yet have seen,
Where the tree of life is blooming.
And the fields are ever green,
Waiting for my full redemption,
When my Saviour shall restore
All that sin has caused to wither,
Age and sorrow come no more. x

Life Saving Crew Take Them Ashore in n
 Brooches Buoy.
 New York, Feb. 1.-The life-saving men at the Patchogue station took off all the men from the steamship Lam- ington this morning. A line was shot out to the vessel, and the eleven men of the Merritt Wrecking company, Cap- tain Duff of the steamship, the mate and three engineers, were taken in the brooches buoy to the shore There is no one on the vessel now She is high on the sand and will probably go to pieces. All the men are at the Pat chogue life saving station and no at- tempt is being made to float the ves- sell
 The steamship Lamington hung to- gether through the storm that all last night was pounding her as she lay on the bar off Blue Point, L. l.
 The eighteen men who were on her when the storm broke remained on her all night, though they were in constant peril of their lives. The life savers were unable to get them off This morning, when day broke, those on shore learned that there had been no lives lost on the vessel.
 The Lamington lies far enough inside of the bar to be protected from get ting the full swell of the sea. The Mer- ritt wrecking men have been unable to do anything toward floating the strand ed steamship except to throw overheard some of the perishabe cargo of fruit Oranges, lemons and other wrecka ge from the steamship are strewn along the shore.

 When he had spoken of secession be- ing right he had spoken of the circum- stances then existing. The question had been submitted to the arbitrament of the sword and settled forever.

 MT. Barrett offered his resolution as soon as MT Talbert finished. It recit- ed the words taken down and declared them Unreasonable and seditious' and in violation of the oath taken by the gentleman from South Carolina at the opening of the session,and directed that they be excluded from the record. It was evident that many republicans were not in sympathy with MT. Barrett, | and believed the matter had gone far l enough.
 Mr. Cannon, rep, of Illinois, tried to move that the resolution lie on the table. This motion evoked applause on the | democratic side, but there were cries of "No, no," from some of the republi- cans.
 | Mr. Barrett, however, amid the great est confusion, insisted upon his right | to discuss the resolution he had offered, and none of the motions proposed by the conservative, republicans could be put The Massachusetts represen- tative then addressed the house in fa- | vor of the adoption of his resolution. There was a chorus of hoots and misses from the democratic side, joined in by many republicans. when MT. Barrett, pointing his finger at MT. Talbert, de- manded to know whether he would rise | to his place and succinctly and definite | ly disavow and apologize for any re- marks upholding secession and treason. MT.

 Guilford, Feb. 1.-The east side of Faulkner's island was washed away last night in the gale, and the fog towers and light house are now almost on the edge of the east cliff. For years the is- land has been growing smaller with each heavy east storm, but the inroads made last night on the little island reduced 1t more than it has been at any one time in many years. The east bank, which is about thirty feet high, is con- caved from the effects of the waves. The sea level being fringed with big bould- CTS, which are slowly forming a natural breakwater. as they roll down out of the sand and the cliffs. Faulkner's island has always been a big menace to navigation, but if it washes away at the rate it has in the last twenty-four hours it will shortly be reduced to noth- ing but a most dangerous shoal. and the light house and fog signal buildings will have to be removed. Steamboat captains consider Faulkners island the most menacing point in Long Island
 
 departures as they pass by it with any | exactness. The tons of sand which have recently been washed away from the east bank have been turned north of the island, and very dangerous shoal has made up under water for a distance of nearly a mile north of the island. The sand has been nearly all washed away from Gull island, a mile 1 west of Faulkners. It is now nothing but barren waste of boulders, which would be fatal if any ship struck it.
 MEETS WITH APPROVAL.
 | Stamford, Feb. 7.-The news that the railroad commissioners have approved the plans of the Consolidated railroad to eliminate six grade crossings here was received with satisfaction by some, but not by the residents of Meadow street, which will be blocked at one end by the changes. The property owners on l this street are loud in their complaints of the commissioners action tonight. They apparently have no remedy for | the loss which their estates suffer by l the blockading of the thoroughfares. | Judge Finch will grant hearing in the estate of John l.. Dixon tomorrow. The circumstances attending the draft 1 ing and settlement of the will are un- usual. In 1891 Judge Finch committed Dixon to the insane hospital in Mid- l dletown and appointed Frederick Taft of Stamford conservator of the estate. l A short while after the men died and l the settlement of the estate was in the I hands of Taft. Recently Charles F. Dixon, brother of the dead man, ap- peared before the court and asked to take out papers as executor The hear ing in the matter was set for last Sat- urday, and a sister of DiXon's, Mrs. Sarah Wilson, living in Florida, was notified to attend the session. She did not come, but in the morning mail of that day the judge received letter from which contained will purport- | ing 10 have been made by her brother August 19, 1879, in which he devised that, the property be divided equally between her an'ti her brother Charles. The testament is written on ordinary note paper, and If it is proved valid at to-morrow's hearing Charles F. Dixon
