Obituary---Miss Maud Gribble.

Died, at Evanston, Wyoming,
Thursday, March 3lst, 1863, Miss
Maud Gribble, youngest daughter
of Mrs. Susannah Gribble. Maud
was born in Waldwick, Wisconsin,
where she resided with the eXcep-
tion of one year spent in the city of
Mineral Point. She was II bright,
intelligent girl of sixteen years, the
Joy and comfort of her mother, n
loving sister and a favorite compan-
ion with many school-mates and
friends. To know her was to love
her. 1t is sad indeed to think that
that one 50 young and beautiful
should be called from earth so soon.
Maud had not enjoyed good health
for some time past and about two
months ago, thinking change in
climate might in some way benefit
her, she went in company with her
mother to Colorado and later to
visit her aunt, Mrs. Dickinson, at
whose home she passed from earth.
During her last illness she kindly
remembered those whom she was
leaving and sent through hor moth
er an atfectionate farewell TO her
many Wisconsin friends. Later ON
she bade her mother loving good
bye. said she was willing to go, but,
oh, so sorry to leave her mother,
whose stay and comfort she so deireo
to be in the declining years of her
life. Monday the remains were
brought to HOllandale, then taken
to her farm home, where on Tuesday,
funeral services were conducted by
the Rev. Mr. Croft, in the presence
of many sorr0wing friends. She was
laid to rest in Graceland Cemetery,
Mineral Point beside her brothers,
sisters and father. She leaves TO
mourn her untimely death, a loving
mother, one sister and three btothers,
who have the sympathy Of the entire
community, in another great sorrow
added to their already overfiowed
portion.

Scribner's: Children pass through
stages when, while they may really be
tnking in much, they appear absolutely
TO have no power to give out anything,
and for these stages education, as we
commonly have it, makes no provision.
The most intelligent teacher is apt to
lose patience with what looks like stu
pidity OF sloth; and, in any ease, the
teaching progresses in the customary
order, with Il constant pressure on the
pupil for proofs of visible acquisition
Regardless of whether the internal
forces are intent upon either, and, at
the instant, more imperative func.
tional duties or no.
1t is true that some children have
more of these absorbent periods, and
longer ones, than others, but it is also
true that these eventually do not
prove to be the dullest children, but
often the reverse. In conclusion of
the whole matter what one would
like to have answered is this: Are
times OF this sort, i'll which it seems
impossible for the brain to discharge
or even to acquire anything OF value,
to be considered as part of the newt
abe constitution of things, something
no more to be fought against than the
farmer can fight with his fields be-
cause they must lie periodically faliow
if they are to Dear good crops; or can
education, thanks to the newer and
more enlightened recognition Of mind
stages in which all growth goes on
below the surface, so treat these
stages in childhood that they will be
less troublesome in later years? DO
the semi-comatose mental periods
come within the physicians ,iurisdic-
ticn-are they matters of bile or
lymph, liver OF spleen-or will future
teachers reach them? Are they physi-
cal wholly or also psychic? We know
of instances, surely, where they have
been triumphnntly forced off, during
a brilliant childhood and adolescence,
by intensive instructors and a stimu-
lativc educational regime; and where,
also, the pupil thereafter collapsed in
to insigniticance, showing no power
further of any sort, much less the Ell
viable power, that is v available, in
hand, ready for use.

A case in point came under ny notice
recently. l was in Blue Glass Ken

in the course of my visits to agents |
ran across a farmer who lived about five
miles from town and got to talking to
him on the subject. He was rather
progressive and conceded that the BIZ

the horse. 1t saved feed, toll. care,

expecting to be promoted to a proof

Sermons in books and stones in rum

A sporting compositor thought that

a writer on angling had the joy of
seeing his sentence, ''The young
salmon are beginning to rnn,', printed,
The young salmon are beginning to
SWIM another thoughtful compos-
itor having been at work.
Happier was the transformation of
the sentence, Bring me my toga' into
Bring me my toys"
There is a less subtle vein of humor
in the story of the editor who wrote
during an election, THE battle is low
opened" The compositor spelled bat
tie" with an %" and the other side
said of course, they had suspected it
from the first.
IT was by a similar mistake that the
late Baker Pasha, who might fairly be
described as n battle SCARED vet

pudged when the newspaper called the
gallant officer Il bottle Scared vet

announcement, "a sailor, going to sea,
his wife desires the prayers of the con-

had set. He told her all his experience sinca
he had left her and she found that he had
passed through London without even wait
ing to see Lady St Lawrence, so great had
been his longing to sec her.
But the next day Lady st. Lawrence came
down, and by Sir Nane's wish preparations
for the marriage We're begun at once. Pau
line preferred to be married at Audleiyh
Royal and among her WI people.
They tell now Of that glorious Wedding
of the sun that seemed to shine more bright
ly than it had ever shonc before-of the re-
joicings and festivities such as might have
attended the bridal OF an elnpresi-of the
tears and blessings of the p%oor-of the good

Every other topic failed before the one thai

standing that evening where she had seen
Vanc first, she blessed him and thanked him
with grateful tears that lie had redeemed hel
by his great love.
There was a paragraph in a recent issue CT
the Times announcing that Oswald ST. Law
renee, second son OF Sir Vane and Lady st.
Lawrence, had, by letters-patent, assumed
the name of Darrell. So that the old baro;
