A Very Bad Boy.

The conductor tells story of very
bad and very bright boy. The boy
got on his car at the lake. He did not
look like a bright boy at all and there was
no appearance of deep viIlainy about
him, but he was fearful example OF the
fallibilty of a Judgment based OIL what
is perceptible to the eye. The car had
reached point some distance up the hill
when the conductor asked the boy for
his fare and was puzzled to find that the
urchin only looked at him vacantly and
grunted in the painful way that marks
the mbecile. He decided to collect from
the rest OF the passengers, and attend to
the boys case when the car stopped at
the switch and he should be at leisure.
At the switch he approached the boy
again with no more favorable result.
The idiot child said loom, oom," and
nothing more. The conductor spent five
minutes telling him all the things he
would do to him if he did not pay up.
Throwing him off the car when the
vehicle had attained full speed was
among the mildest of these, and even
that was expressed in more forcibIe
language, but the boy only said loom"
Then the car started from the switch
and the perplexed man in blue decided to
wait until it had reached the top ofthe
hill and then put the boy off. As the
summit was attained he forced the
youth to the footboard, a proceeding
which was accomplished with deliber-
alton and in silence, and rang to stop
the car. The boy stepped off, said april
fool" and walked away Worcester

Sanitation on the Farm.

A correspondent writing from New
England farmhouse thinks The Outlook
does not realize the need of sanitary
knowledge in the farming districts. She
is writing from house where the win
dows are kept closed and darkened in
summer; where the cellar is never venti-
lated, though vegetables are kept in it.
She says that mold is found on the
carpet Innings over the cellar, that the
house is damp and unhealthy, and the
whole condition is due to the ignorance
OF the householders. This writer has
described thousands of homes in the
farming regions of this country. 1t is the
knowledge of this dangerous ignorance,
with it disastrous results on the cumula-
tive wealth OF this country, that moved
the Michigan University to establish a
department of domestic science relating
particularly to the home needs as well
as the needs Of what might be termed
the womens department in agriculture
the dairy, the hennery, the care of fruits,
etc. We long ago discovered that the
finest types, physically, of men and
women were not to be found on farms
that physical development is not mere
question of exercise and full stomach.
The science of food is new science.
Professor Atwater and Mr.. Atkinson,
Mrs Richards and Dean Talbot, the
pioneers, are living on the sunny side of
fifty, yet they can point to results in the
period of their working years that,
measured with the progress in other
sciences are phenomenal. Sanitation is
a part of the new science, and the in
crease of kno wledge in this department
is marked. The lack of money prevents
the spread of knowledge in some farming
districts, but the school of agriculture,
and the attempt to introduce into the
schools in the rural districts studies that
have a special bearing on the life in the
farming districts, argue well for the
future.

No less than seven Republican Sena-
tors have formerly held Cabinet posi-
lions, viz, John Sherman. Secretary Of
the Treasury under President Hayes;
Don Cameron, Secretary Of War under
Grant; Senator Teller. Secretary of the
Interior under Arthur; Senator Chandler,
Secretary of the Navy under Arthur;
Senator Proctor, Secretary Of War under
Harrison; Senator Elkins, who held the
same position, and Senator Gear was AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury. On
the Democratic side only Senator Villas
has served in the Cabinet, he having
been Postmaster-general and Secretary
Of the Interior under Cleveland. This

1t is said the great British naval DEM
onstration about to be made is intended
as a sort Of object lesson to the world
and notice that Britain is still mistress
of the sea-" In a sense she is. Her
naval power is far greater than that of
any other single power, and she could
make a stiff fight on the sea against
any combination likely to be made
against her. But the claim that she is
literally mistress of the sea was not sus-
tanned in the war of 1912. and has not
been established by any recent war.
No doubt England's naval power is
greater now than ever before, and her
spirit of colonization and territorial ag-
grandizement seems to be still active

of her power. Nations. like individuals.

ity and of decline, and ii is only ques-

pected, but that 1t will come is certain.

fact iii the celebrated passage in which,
speaking of the vitality of the Roman
Catholic Church. he said: she may

You come and with your necromancy win

You draw the very best that is within US!

The people of bartholomew county, Indi-
ana, seem determined to keep up with the
rest of the State in musical culture. Not
long ago Columbus had 'iddling match,
at which a large number of old-time fddlers
played old-time tunes, and now the town
of Clifford, in the same county, has been
holding singing contest. The contest was
to settle the relative merits of Messrs.
Dave Phillips and Bill Pancake as singers.
AS Clifford is one of the few towns in the
State that has not an opera house." the
contest was held in Mr.. Pancakes store.
and took the place of the usual evening
gathering and discussion Of current events
which is held there. Barrels. nail kegs and
empty shoe boxes furnished comfortable
seats for the audience, while the three
judges sat by themselves. The contest con-
sisted Of song and song about by the two
contestants Messrs. Phillips and Pancake
belong to the class of musicians who are
born, not made. Neither of them has ever
taken lessons in music, yet both have sung
from their earliest childhood. They sing
because they cannot help it-and because
nobody else can help it. They sing by ear,
and each of them has two ears for music.
The acoustic qualities of small country
store are not ideally perfect, but it was
agreed in this case that what was fair for
the one vas fair for the other. AS an in
ducement for the contestants to do their
best prize of half a bushel of good eat
ing apples was offered for the victor and
1t was agreed that lung strength and en-
durance should count in the marking more
than quality of voice, method and phrasing.
In fact, both singers and judges admitted
that the latter elements ought not to figure
In the award at all. With this understand
long as they could. Mr.. Phillips made the
windows rattle and Mr.. Pancake was able
to raise the roof a little. 1t was thought
that if the door had been open Mr.. Phil
lips's voice would have reached further,
but, on the other hand, Mr.. Pancakes voice
showed a more reverberating quality. If
Mr.. Phillips's notes could be fifty compared
to the crack of smooth-bore rifle, those
Of Mr.. Pancake almost resembled the roar
of a loaded anvil on the Fourth of July.
In discharging the voice Mr.. Phillips showed
greater projectile force, but Mr.. Pancake
more momentum, making it difficult to tell
near at hand which had the greater lung
power. At one point in the contest Mr.. Pan
cake showed signs of weakening, but as Mr..
Phillips's next selection was a long one he
was able to rally. BY the time both had
sung all the pieces they knew they were
nearly exhausted, and even the audience
and judges showed signs of fatigue The
judges retired to consulting room behind
coverlid at the rear end Of the store,
and In a few minutes returned and awarded
the prize to Mr.. Phillips. Mr.. Pancake was
not at all satisfied with the decision, and
his friends think he is entitled to a rehear-
ing. The contest was the musical event of
the season in Clifford. and is likely to give
quite an impetus to musical culture In
that part of Bartholomew county.
