A Bel1icose Youth.

The boy is still father to the man. A
certain prominent political hustler,
who, like the British tar in "Pinafore, y
is ever ready with his fists, showed his
pugilistic taste at an early age.
The first day he went to school the
family were, of course, anxious to know
his impression of the new occupation.
"Well, Sammy" said his father,
"what did you learn on your first day at
school?' 4
Strengthening up and assuming a
bellicose attitude, Sam replied, Father,
I learned I can lick every boy in my
Glass;
A few days later his love of pugilism
and frequent battles led to his expul-
sion. He came home that day and sur
prised his good mother with the remark,
"Well, mother, thank the Lord, I have
been turned out!'-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Brides and Wet Weather.

A Breton bride rather likes to have a
wet wedding; it is held to signify that
all her tears are now shed and that she
will therefore have a happy married
life. l know of no similar belief in the
British isles.
The Era of Simbirsk call the day
before the wedding the weeping day,
and the bride and her girl friends weep
all they can, with the idea, it would
seem, of getting the mourning of life
over so that only joy may remain.

tain the same Snd by sensing the bride
with water. Some Greek tribes have a
similar belief isxthe virtue of a drench-
ing bringing good fortune.

Archery In a City.s Streets.

The military students of Tung-Chou
are a conspicuous nuisance. They have
a way Of using one of the main streets
in the city as a convenient spot for
practic!ng archery, and we have been
repeatedly obliged to edge up to the ex-
IRENE edge of the footpath to avoid
possible eccentric flights of arrows.
Enthusiastically it never occurs to
them to suspend operations for others
safety OF convenience, and minor acct
dents must not be uncommon.
A lad was brought to the hospital the
other day who had been struck by an
arrow just below the eye as he was edg-
ing along the highway. He was not
badly hurt and probably regarded his
injury as incidental to the ordinary
risks of travel on city streets. NORTH

"A.he. OF Angels" Cake.

I once knew an estimable lady who
in the absence of her cook undertook to,
make a certain kind of cake. She took
''some" of one kind of ingredient, ga lit
tie" of another and ga small quantity"
Of something else. To her delight and
surprise, the result was a cake of which
neither she nor any one else had ever
heard. 1t was an entirely new cake and
an extremely delicious one. Proud of
her achievement, the lady gave the cake
the beautiful and poetic name of ''ashes
CT angels" and on the very next occa-
sion when the absence of her cook made
it possible for her to venture into her
kitchen she tried to repeat her success.
This event happened in the year 1883,
and ever since that date the unfortunate
lady has been vainly trying to repro
duce her wonderful cake. She has never
once succeeded, although she has made
at least 900 different varieties of cake
and pudding, each one of which has
been more deadly than the other. She
is still hoping that one of these days
she may hit upon her ''ashes of angels
again, but as that cake was purely the
result Of chance the prospect that she
will be able to make i a second time is
not bright.-W. L. Alden in P~earson's
MAGAZINE.

a good deal OF it in Delawa and Sulli

a pound here in Manhattan. The Chinese
ascribe all sorts Of virtues to it. and the
value OF each individual root depends on
its size and shape. A big root brings enor-
nous prices in China. 1t has been ana
lyzed more than once, and the absolute
absence OF healing qualities in the herb is
perfectly well known to the druggists of
this country. That makes no difference
to the Chinamau, however He believes
it is the great cure-all, and the root
possesses a charm in his ewes. The
possession of a big root will make the
first baby boy in native Chinese family

is believed that after a bic root is secured
the first male child will turn out to be a
mandarin or something of that sort If
the root, besides being large, possesses
any peculiarities suggesting a resemblance
in miniature to the human form, then
that root is indeed jewel and worth
more than gold. Just how long the
Chinese will keep on believing in ginseng

Adva noes in College Requirements.

For more than twenty years after the
establishment in numerous American cities
and towns OF high schools with classical
courses, says President Eliot in the Octo-
Der Atlantic, the requirements for admis-
sion to college remained what they had
been for generations, Latin, Greek, and
elementary mathematics, with ancient
history and geography. Harvard College
has certainly been as ready for expert
ments and changes as any other American
college; yet down to 1869 the requirements
for admission to Harvard College were the
subjects Just named, with the addition Of
the elements of physical geography and
modern geography. Although hundreds
of nigh schools for boys had been establish
ed between l84) and 1869, and had made for
themselves large place in American edu-
cation, the requirements for admission to
the American colleges were practically un-
changed for the twenty years between
1919 and 1869. The scientific schools
throughout this period had but little in
tluence on secondary schools whether pub
lie on private; because their requirements
foI admission were set very low. Thus, the
requirements for admission to tie Law
renee Scientific School We're, in the chemi-
cal department, the elements of chemistry,
arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigono-
meUy; in the deparmo MT of engineering,
algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
The chemical department. might be said to
have encouraged the study of chemistry
in secondary schools, and both depart
ments encouraged the study of trigonome-
try. Such were the limits of the influence
of the La yrence Scientific School on sec
ondary schools previous to 1869
By gradual process, extending over
thirty years, Harvard College has come to
recognize for admission the following ad-
ditional subjects: English, French, Ger
man, English and American history, the
history of Europe, physics, chemistry,
photography, anatomy, physiology and
hygiene, trigonometry, astronomy, and
meteorology, is, all these new sub
jects may count toward admission to
Harvard College; SO that the modern Ian
guage, including English, the natural sci
ences, history, have obtained from that
college, at least, full recognition as suitable
elements of secondary education. For the
Lawrence Scientific School, all the sub
jects just mentioned may now be counted
for admission, and, in addition, botany
and zoology, shopwork, and drawing.
The shopwork may embrace one or some
of the following: woodworking, blacS-
smithing, chipping, filing and fitting,
mach inc tool work.

A DumbfOunded Editor.

In an article by the late James Payn,
the novelist and magazine editor, pub
lished in The Youths Companion, occurs
the following diverting story:
"On several occasions | had had some
very bright sketches of country life from
a young sportsman who, although he was
mostly on horseback, seemed to have
eyes about him for other things than
horses and hounds; then he sent me a
short story of military life, little erring,
as was to be expected in youDgster,
upon the side of fastness, -too much
cigar smoking and too many brandy and
sodas, but very graphic and entertain
ing. AS my people were mostly military,
1t Interested me more, perhaps, than it
would have done, and it interested them,
which it was rather difficult for any
story teller to do,-and thereby proved
its genuine character.
81 was rather pleased when the young
fellow wrote that he was coming up to
Town to see me, and | made him an ap-
pointment for that purpose. At the hour
arranged for was annoyed by my conf
dental clerk bringing in card with Miss
Norman on it. l said, 4 do not know
this lady, and you are we'll aware that l
do not see people who have not an intro
duction.'
"'She is very ladylike, sir he an
swered,' and pretty
ct was a wrong remark for him to
make, of course, since it almost suggested
that good looks were a passport which
should be reserved for true merit, but |
said could give her two minutes.
Accordingly she was ushered into the
hall of audience, an apartment, by the by,
on the third floor, and always in a state
of litter. She was c9mely enough, but
at once explained to her that my time
was precious, and that | had made an APP
pointment for that very hour. You will
show Nj. Marchmont up, when he comes,
at once, | added, to the clerk, with sig
nificance
Z" But l am Mr.. Marchmont,' said the
lady.
you might have knocked me down
with a feather Nothing she had written
had given me the least hint of her being
of the fair sex; nay, what would to my
mind have done away with all suspicion,
had | entertained any, was that she had
always taken my alterations in her
sketches with the greatest good nature.
As rule, if you venture TO hint that this
or that falls short of excellence in a lady S
contribution, she is surprised and by no
means pleased Any other fault she
could have imagined in her composition,
but-you must excuse her remarking-
the paragraph in question was written
with particular care, and if excised the
whole article would be spoiled. Miss
Norman had acQuiesced III every sugges-
ton, and never demonstrated, even at a
deleton.
