A postman belonging to the imperial
postoffice at Marking was suddenly
and summarily arrested the other day
by enc of the high mandarins in that
city and thrown into the district magis-
trate's yamen to be bambooed and
cangued. Upon inquiry by the postal
authorities as to the reason of such
arbitrary conduct it appeared that this
postman had been guilty of having de-
livered to his accuser's yamen in the
ours of his rounds an anonymous let
ter which contained whole pages of cut
ting sarcasms accusing the receiver of
the letter of a~varice, extortion, etc. The
irate mandarin made the unlucky post
man responsible for the obnoxious let
ter, saying that he had no right to de-
liver such matter to his yamen. The
commissioner of customs of Wuhu, who
had been notified of the affair, extri-
Gated the postman out of his difficult
ties. North China News.

Writing in The Century on Charles
Dickens interest in the cause of educa-
ton, Mr.. James L. Hughes says:
He was the first great English stu
dent of Froebel. He deals with 10 diff
ferent schools in his books. He gives
more attention to the training of child
hood than any other novelist OF any
other educator except Froebel He was
one of the first Englishmen to demand
rational control Of education, even in
private schools. and the thorough train
ing of all teachers. He exposed IA types
of coercion and did more than any one
else to lead Christian men and women
to treat children humanely. Every book
he wrote except two is rich in educa-
tional thought. He took the most adj
vanced position on every phase of mod
ern educational thought except manual
training. When he is thoroughly un-
derstood. he will be recognized as the
Froebel of England

GUESSING Cyrano's lawful nose, ooh.
Phyllis, won't you decide the question
MI. Barnton and l have been disputing3
Do you think it would have been easy
for Roxane to love Cyrano in spite of
his nose if she hadn't imagined herself
in love with the other man, or would
that fearful member have rendered any
girls love impossible?
Phyllis shifted audibly.
"Well. according to my opinion,

with decision, ''the girl who would
stop to think of the shape of a mans
nose after he had proved himself at all
worthy of her would be too small and
little, in point of soul and heart, to be
worth any mans love. 1t doesn't seem
to me such a little thing as a nose

St. DistaG,s Dav.

The 18th of January, which follows
Twelfth day, was in old times jokingly
called st. Distaff's day because the
spinning was supposed to be resumed.
says the Baltimore Sun.
The plowmen, who were not so will
ing to resume their occupations as the
women were theirs, used to set the fax
IN fire, in consequence of which the
women would throw pals of water up
on them.
In early days ladies of high degree,
as well as farmers wives and daugh-
tiers, were accustomed to handle the dis
taft and spindle, and the latter were
the emblems of womanhood. The fol-
lowing little stanza is appropriate to
the season:
Partly work and partly play
You must work on st. Distaff's day.
From the pillow soon free your team,
Then come home and fother them.
If the maids a~-spinning go,
Burn the fax and fire the tow.
Bring in pals of water then;
Let the maids bewash the men;
Give st. Distatf all the right.

The Best way to Sample WHISKY


One of the best judges of whisky in
Chicago is a man who never drinks it
He is Captain Joseph E. G. Ryan, for
merly of the Seventh.
Captain Ryan is a whisky expert.
He can tell almost to a day the age of
any sample submitted to him. Give
him a few drops of whisky. and he
can tell you the brand, the distiller,
where it was made, when, and detect
adulteration if there is any. Blend two
or three kinds of whisky. and he can
tell the blend.
And he never tastes it, being strictly
temperate in all his habits.
1t is all told by the smell. Captain
Ryan's nose is a very sensitive organ
and he has trained it with the utmost
care.
"Smelling is by far the most salts
factory method of testing" he says.
'If a man has a great deal to sample,
and tastes each kind. he soon gets so
that he cannot distinguish one from the
other. The sense of taste becomes blunt
ed, and he loses all the fine distinctions
"On the other hand. the more a man
uses his nose the more acute the sense
of smell becomes, and he is able to de-
tect the slightest difference between
samples Chicago Journal

HER PORTRAIT.

The night was warm, and the porch was vide,
And the soft wind waited the music's tune.
And a youth and a maid sat side by side
Meath the witching light of the summer
moon.

She's as fair as the daybreak and pure as
gold,
With a voice as soft as a cooling dove,
And a mouth like a bud with one leaf un-
rolled.
The CLEAN of her eyes makes the starlight pale,
And she's witty and clever, well read and
bred"
The maid cheeks flushed at this glowing tale,
And-"I love you, too.'' she said.

YOUTH N LOVE.

Youth and Love fell out one day.
Said Youth to Love: 'I'l go my way
And leave you broken hearted.
I'll go through life without your aid.
FL gaze on neither man nor maid"
And foolishly they parted.
OFF went naughty Youth alone.
He hummed a tune in merry tone
And never looked behind him,
While Love at home was sad and sore
And longed for merry Youth once more,
Alas, she could not find himl
But Youth had not been walking long
Before he hushed his merry song
His heart was full of sorrow.
He found it hard to. stay away
From Love, if only for a day.
He came back on the morrow.
For Love and Youth apart would die
Like flowers without dew or sky.
They'd fade if they would severl
As long as there are tide and time
In every land, in every cline,
Youth and Love will be together.
