rhe Threat Not Needed.

LONDON, June 29.-All the special dis
patches from Madrid agree that the threat
of the United States to send a squadron to
the Spanish coast causes no excitement or
apprehension in Spain. The general belief
on the continent is that nothing serious is
intended by the threat though there are
reports in Vienna that the powers are ex-
changing notes on the subject.

The Death of Coaching.

The coaching system died lingering
q lamentable death. l can remember
something Of few coaches In remote
districts which longest escaped strangu.
lation, and memory of those distant
days has been sweeter without them.
They resemble what Nimrod describes
rs the obsolete, old fashioned coach Of
his boyhood, drawn by dispirited, Ill
fed jades over long stages One Of his
paragraphs we'll describes what used to
make my blood boil with impotent
fury, imbittering the JOY of returning
home for the holidays, and deepening
the depression of the schoolward jour
ney:
1.-The four horse whip and the Not
tingham whipcord were of no avail over
the latter part of the ground, and some
thing like cat nine tails was pro-
duced out of the boot, which was jocu-
larly called the apprentice and a
shrewd apprentice it was to the art of
torturing, which was inflicted on the
wheelers without stint or measure, but
without which the coach might have
been often left on the road. e"

The autobiography of the late Rev
Charles H. Spurgeon contains an &C
count of what may be termed an early
business venture and it's influence on
his character.
Spurgeon was brought up on Watt g
hymns. but not altogether willingly.
His grandmother coaxed him with
money to learn Them; At first she gave
him penny, but when she S,w how
easily il was earned the old lady re.
duced the prize to halfpenny and then
to farthing There is no telling how
low the amount per hymn might have
fallen, but just at this time his grand
father made a discovery which seemed
more desirable to Sturgeon.
He discovered that his house was
overrun with rats and offered his
gran dson shilling a dozen for all be
could kill
The occupation Of rat killing gave
him more money than learning hymns.

says, ~ know which employment has
been the more permanently profitable

sydney Smiths Joke.

Sydney Smith was very happy in his
country life. and his children caught
bis spirit of delight over common
things. They loved animals and spent
long hours in training them. One little
beast, baby donkey, became under
their tuition perhaps the most accom-
plished of his species and unconscious
ly gave rise to quatrain which now
belongs to the fame OF Sydney Smith.
The donkey was well educated chap.
He would walk up stairs follow the
family in their rambles like dog and
when they entered his meadow run to
meet them with ears down and tail
erect, braying joyously.
One day, when Billy's head was
crowned with flowers and he was being
trained with handkerchief for bride,
Mr.. Jeffrey Unexpectedly arrived. He
joined in the sport and to the children 9
infinite delight mounted Billy.
Thus he was proceeding in triumph
when Sydney Smith and his wife, with
three friends, returned from walk and
took in the festal scene. The great man
advanced, with extended hands, and
greeted his old friend in an impromptu
which has become familiar to the read
ing world:
witty as Horatius Flaccus
AS great a Jacobin as Gracious.
Short. though not as fat as ,Bacchus.
Seated on little jackass!

"Real Daughters "

Monday afternoon last six members of
Eunice Farnsworth Chapter OF the D. A.
K. paid visit to their oldest member,
Mrs. Caroline Hight of Norrdgewock.
She Is one OF the four "real daughters
as the own daughters of the Revolution
airy soldiers are called, who have be.
longed to this chapter. The others are
Mrs. Hunnewell of Solou, who recently
died, her sister, Mrs. Merrill, and Mrs.
Hussey of Canaan. The ladies were cor
daily received by Mrs. Hight, her two
daughters, Miss Hight and Mrs. Butler,
and few friends. The object of the
visit was to present Mrs. Hight with a
souvenir spoon which is given to all
"real daughters" by the National Society
Of the d. A. r. After the singing of
national songs, an account of Eunice
Farnsworth for whom the chapter was
named, and other patriotic exercises, the
spoon was presented with appropriate
remarks by the Chapter Regent, Miss
Coburn. 1t is Of heavy silver gilt and of
exquisite workmanship. The handle is
in the shape of distaff, the fax parting
80 as to reveal maiden of colonial times
sitting at spinning wheel, the emblem
OF the society. In reply, Mrs. Hight ex-
pressed her thanks III an appreciative
manner and related some incidents In the
life of her father, William Farrand, dur
ing the Revolution. He was In some
famous battles and suffered many hard
ships, at one time being deprived. of ra-
tions for seven full days. AS these most
interesting experiences, told with so
much force and vigor OF the Revolution
airy soldier, we're listened to, it was diff
cult to believe that the daughter WAS
born with the century and would soon
celebrate her ninety-ninth birthday.
There were present that afternoon five
generations Of defendants from Revolu-
tionary soldiers, counting from this own
daughter down to greatgreat-great-
graHdchild of Eupice Farnsworth.
On Tuesday afternoon, delegation of
the d. A. r. drove to Canaan, to present
the last OF the four golden spoons to
Mrs. Sylvia Hussey, another ''real
daughter. After delightful drive of
ten miles, they reached the home Of Mrs.
Hussey and were greeted by a charming
old lady, who In spite of her nearly "a
years walked into the room quite un-
aided. The spoon was presented by
Mrs. Cabot, and Mrs. Hussey expressed
her thanks, seconded by her daughter
and granddaughter. She said that her
father, Jabez Hall, enlisted during the
last part of the Revolution and she re-
membered hearing him tell how at one
time he received shirt from the hands
of Gen. Washington and many other ill.,
teresting incidents of the war.
Mrs. Hunnewell and Mrs. Merrill of
Scion, received their spoons short time
ago while visiting 10 this village.
As there are less than 300 "real daugh
ters' 10 the whole country who belong to
the society, the Eunice Farnsworth chap
ter feels itself greatly honoltd to have
counted tour among its members. And
these two visits on lovely October after
moons will long be remembered by those
who were able to eujoy them.
