The publication in the European

cable from New York stating that
a New York paper had printed a
despatch from Paris to the effect that
the United States pavilion at the

the members of the American Com

All the articles bought are now in

Speaking of the postal service and
the incidents leading up to his sus-
pension, Mr.. Rathbone said:--
"The public shouldn't forget the
amount Of work done by the depart.
ment, and the difficulties Eve had to
contend with. To the credit of the

the vast amount of money orders

An American
PatriarC.
Father Of Forty one Children,

A despatch to a New York paper
says that Levi Brisson, of Daysville,
Connecticut, seventy-two years old,
is much distressed over the report
that for the forty-Secoud time he is
happy father.
"Forty-two9 No. Not, yet; but
1 hope some day to be the father of
fifty" and the little French.C Canadi-
an threw out his chest and drew his
ITO pounds up to look as big as pos
sible.
It's Brisson's modesty that now
tronbles him. He does net relish
the vainglOry that has come with
the false announcement of the latest
birth, He boasts of forty one chill
dren, but will not take one bit of
credit to himself that he does not
deserve.
Brisson, his wife, and seven of
their progeny live in an abandoned
schOslhouse in Foster township,
Windham county. Halt the time
Mrs. Brlsson does not know whether
the little Brissons are in Connecticut
or Rhode Island, the line runs so
close to the house.
Brisson reminds one of a scrub
oak that has stood through many
winters. He boasts that at seventy.
tive he is just as young as when he
was forty. He is five feet four, and
does not look his Ito pounds nor his
seventy-twO years.
He swings the axe each day and
his average is up to that Of the youn-
ger uoodchoppers. He has had ele-
ven children by his present wife,
twenty-four by his second and six by
his first. Four OF the children by
his third wife are. dead.

Cuban Faith in Amer
leans.
A Cuban Missionary says
they have lost it.

With the s.o1Ssyor of his Southern
nature in his words, Cuban mis-
siOnary created somewhat of a sensa-
ton in the Marble Collegiate Church
in Neso York, recently, at the
seVenty-ffth anniversary of the
American Tract Society.
The Rev. DR.. James BurrelI,
pastor of the church, introduced the
Rev. j. M. lopez Cullen, a Cuban
missionary, to explain the religious
situation in his country.
"Dr. Bdrret nas just referred",
the missionary said, "to Cuba as an
island possession. Why, the Cubans
believed you came to their island to
give them independence. They do
not know what you mean when you
speak of Cuba being possession.
1t is an idea detestable to them.
The spiritual condition of Cuba
cannot be understood till you realize
that the Cuban has lost faith in re-
ligiOn, in Almighty God and,n here

am telling you the truth now just as

The women Of Cuba, he said, are
faithful to the old religious ideals,
and through them the literature from

Of Cuba.

Mr.. Peck was naturally quite slr-
prised by this important bit OF news.
When he had recovered his breath
he said:--
"The statement is absolutely un-
true and should not require any
answer. The building was construc-

How important part the Irish race
has played in the wars waged by Great
Britain Is attested in a few instances,
that the South African war has illus
trated. The Comma mander-in-chief, Lord
Wolsey, like his ancestor the Duke OF
wellington, is an Irishman; Lord
Landsdoun, the minister of war, is also
a native OF the green ilse; so is Lord
Kitchener, though his name is German;
Bobs, the hero of Kandahar, his full
title being Lord Roberts. Under Sec.
retary of war Windham, and grandson
OF Lord Fitzgerald are full-blooded
Irishman; General French, the dashing
leader is to the manner of Roscommon
born; Gen. Kelly-Kenny isa Clare man;
Gen. Clery Cork man and Gen. White
halls from Antrim. And these rames
are hnt a few of those Milesian heroes
who have shed lustre on Briton's
armies. No wonder the Queen and her
subjects go into extasies and rapture
at the mention of the prowess of the
Irish soldiers.

We conscientiously, and even pros
foundly, believe-in the line with other
great men who have expressed them
selves-that the solution of the edu-
cational evil in the country districts
Is fewer and better schools. We
charge nothing for this opinion, but
whether 1t be worth much or little, the
fact remains as an incontrovertable ar
gument that whatever is obtained with
much sacrifice Is better appreciated
and does more good than its antithesis.
But you ask what has this to do with
the school question? 1t applies thus:
where there is practically school at
svery mans door, the salaries are so
low that as rule only teachers OF in>
experience and meagre ability can be
employed. The result is naturally u
lack Of interest on the part Of patrons
whose children fail to learn. Where
the schools are fewer in number, the
salaries are better, the teachers are
better and the father will make great
er sacrifice to place his children with
a thoroughly equipped teacher mile
or Two further from home than he
would we're the school located right at
his door with an Inferior teacher.
Then as matter of fact the school
which to atterd becomes a sacrifice,
but where the teacher knows his bus.
iness, there is an increased effort. the
need Of an education is more appreci.
ated, and the good results are intensi-
fed ian hundred fold" This truth
should appeal to the reason Of every
right-thinking patron, and we sincere
lv trust Il will find nermanent lode

members of the school bosrd.-Monti
