Uneducated people sometimes have u
happy knaok in coming to the point.
Here, for example, is story from the
Boston Herald:
Dan and Nose, neither of them noted
for erudition, were partners in an enter
prise which it is needless to specify.
One morning customer called to settle
a small bill and after handing over the
money asked for receipt.
Nose retired to the privacy of an
inner room and after long delay re-
turned with slip of paper, on which
were written these words:
"We've got our pay. Me and Dan.

Death of Horace Eaton.

Mr.. Horace Eaton, one of Skowhegan's
best known and most highly respected
citizens, died at his home in the eastern
part of the town, Wednesday morning,
the 2ad instant, after an illness covering
several months, aged 70 years.
Mr.. Eaton went to California in De-
cember 1851, from there he sailed to
Australia, again returned to California,
and came back to Maine in the fall of
1857, since which time he followed ag-
ricultural pursuits in this town.
He was long an active member of

Meeting of the Woman's Club.

The storm delayed Maine meeting of
the Woman's Club, after two postpone.
ments, WAS held In the library parlors,
Monday evening. The ladies took this
occasion to invite their husbands and
other gentlemen friends, and many men,
bers from their sister clubs were also
80 fortunate as to be guests ut this meet
ing. The result was very large at
tendance, taxing the capacity of the
club rooms.
The program was similar In character
to that of the regular meetings Of the
club. Mrs. Clara Leavitt, the president,
presided and gave few appropriate
words of welcome to the guests. The
report of the previous meeting was read
by the secretary, Miss Lizzie Hussey.
A quartette consisting of Mdms. c. d.
Miller, r. B. Shepherd. j. N. Merrill
and M. I. Pooler sang a selection, the
words of which were written by Mrs.
Emily P. Webb. Mrs. Everett L. Good
rich gave an interesting paper upon the
history OF Mdlne, anu mrs. d. L. MeTTill
ably addressed the ladies and gentlemen
assembled upon the Men of Maine"
After short recess, Mdms. L. L. Nor
rison and Pooler sang duet, a poem
written for the occasion by Mrs. Emily
Webb of California, was read by Mrs.
Morrison, Mrs. l.. w. Weston paid a
glowing tribute to the women of
Maine" and Mrs. j. w. Steward rem
dered vocal selection.
The papers aud musical selections gave
much pleasure and were in every way
worthy of the complimentary remarks
heard on every side concerning them.
The latter part of the evening was
given over to sociability, and refresh
ments were served.
The Woman's Club has proven many
times its ability to entertain, and the
Maine meeting adds another to the long
list of enjoyable evenings it has provided
for its fortunate friends.

may be taken for the Yukon valley, both men and women are waiting, anx- ious to push on at the first possible moment, and the rush will be tremen- dous when it starts. How much the new corners in the gold fields will find remains to be seen. Shrewd and ex- pert men are there ahead of them and have been improving the shining hour in claiming everything in sight. The gold-bearing area is large. It covers an extent greater than that of all New England and the middle States of New York;, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware combined. Gold has actually been found in g. tract of territory as wide at some points as one hundred and fifty miles and six hundred miles long. It is only a small portion that has been developed in the vicinity of Dawson City. A man who goes there now will have to be lucky if he finds much that is good left. But thousands will go, and by and by many will come back effectually cured of the Klcndike craze.

TAUGHT BY THE PLAGUE.

At last the authorities at Bombay seem to have learned one of the most obvious lessons of the plague. They have become convinced of the urgent necessity for extensive sanitary im- provements, and they are going to make them. The new scheme is thor oughly comprehensive one, and provides not only for opening up crowded local ities, the construction of new streets with frontages for the erection of i'm proved dwellings. and the levelling up of low-lyi1fs areas, but for improving existing dwellings and housing large numbers of the poorer classes in new buildings to be let at an extremely low rent. It will provide for the accommo- daticn of population displaced and al- low also for the future expansion of the city. Vacant lands to the north of the city will be laid out, and, where necessary, filled in. Certain areas west of Colaba are to be reclaimed, and will provide sites for residences of a superb or class. As the cost of such a scheme will be enormous, and the borrowing powers of the corporation only sufficient | to meet the cost of certain necessary essential sewerage and storm water drainage improvements, it is proposed to create special agency, with a sep arate staff, to devote their entire ener- gies to the particular task before them. Large proprietary interests of govern ment will be involved, but in the board to be constituted the corporation will be strongly represented. The entire cost will not be less than five crotes of rupees, more than e3,500,o00, and may possibly amount to double that sum. None of the duties of the corporation will be taken away. It will still have to complete the drainage scheme, and retain control of civic finance, the wa ter supply, the care of roads and streets, the public lighting and many other du- ties.

4 QUESTION.

These are inquisitive times, and lots of questions are asked. Some of them are fool questions but once in awhile somebody asks question which is both intelligent and pertinent. Of such is a question asked by Walter Scott Burton of Somerset, Kentucky, who recently celebrated his sixteenth birthday. He says he married Miss Elizabeth Hud- son, a beautiful and charming young lady of the Fishing Creek neighbor- hood, at the residence of George Pol son on Christmas day, but was obliged to sell favorite mule in order to raise money enough to secure a divorce from another woman whom he had married the year previous. Why" he demands to know. should man have to give up a blamed good mule just to get free from wife whom he doesn't intend to live with any longer anyway"
 It is evident that a civilization that demands the sacrifice of "a blamed good mule" in order to straighten out matrimonial curve is faulty. Perhaps Walters question will be tackled and answered by Sorosis, or some other body of women. It ought to be an- sWered.

In recent lecture in Boston, Profess sity of Toklo, gave a description of the social life In his native country. which differs materially from many other &C., counts. The social unit of Japan, he said, is the family, each family having dts officially registered head, frequently the wife. Occupations in all classes as a rule are handed down from genera tion to generation, and it is matter Of family pride that that occupation does not deteriorate. The works of ances- tors are kept constantly before the fam fly as sacred models, and the result is the inimitable beauty of Japanese pro- auctions. Another interesting custom arising out of the treatment of the fact that the head of the family always has the same name, and that as each persons succeeds to the dignity he changes his youthful name to the fam fly name Though this custom still sur- wives in the country districts, there is no stagnation of social and industrial types, it being now within the power of the humblest to rise to the highest offices in the State by merit alone. The first known ancestor is regarded as the founder of the family; the names of an- cestors are kept on tablets in the most sacred place of the house, while the an- niversaries of the deaths of ancestors are observed with more or less of re- ligious ceremony. Women are held in commendable respect, while children are treated with deference; they repre- sent the future generations There is strong desire in the mind of the father that the memory of those who have gone before should be kept green; hence the idea of the family as the social unit is kept up by two factors filial piety and the longing for immor- tality.
