AN OLD-TINTE sCHOoL

From the Youths Companion.
 The third class having had their spelling lessons in words of two syllables, the little ones were called up to learn their "a b c's." !" The unlucky infants were kept to their duty by gentle raps on the head with the handle of a penknife used as a pointer, gencies of penmending.
 A dozen or two of mere babies were thus guided along the row of twenty-six letters, while the lesson was occasionally broken by such requests as, Please to g'wout to get CT drink CT wateri" Gas if there were a choice of drinksD and Please to mend my pen!' The statement that "they are a-crowdin' me- and an occasional rowl from some over-tired little mortal on the front bench gave variety to the exercises.
 It would now be time for the second class to read and spell. A iwhirl of feet and pet ticoats landed two rows of boys and girls standing on the floor, fancy the teacher, who gave the order, "Mannersw and the jerking of necks and the bobbing of skirts gave evidence that school etiquette was un- derstood. The spelling came first, after ward the reading from the same page. Here are few specimens:

 "We can burn fish oil in lamps"

 "You see, it's this way. While I was down there I invested in copy of the Philadelphia Inquirer Hated like sin to spend the money, but it was all for the best as it turned out. I got more out of 1t than it cost, same as everyone else, for In loolSin' over the pages I came across a piece on Fencin' as Fashionable Fad fer Wimmin.'
 'Say, that jest put an iddee in my head. Ye know my wife Mirandy's nothing if not fashionable. Every spring she'll have the gol blingdest biggest bunnet in the whole election deestrick, even if she has to pay [ cents piece fer the roses and carolation and such.

PUT HIM TO PRACTICAL USE

From the London Tit-Bits.
 An intelligent looking boy walked into a. grocers shop the other day, and, reading from paper, said:
 T want six pounds of sugar at 2Ad a pound.'
 "Yes,' said the shopman, "that will be one and three halfpence"
 Eleven pounds of rice at 11ad pound" "One and fourpence halfpenny," com mented the grocer. -Four pounds of tea at Is Sd a pound" '.Six and eight" And so he continued: 'Five pounds of coffee at Is Tod. seven tins of milk at 51sd, four tins of tomatoes at 61ad, eight tins of sardines at Is 1kd."
 The shopman made out the bill and hand ed it to the lad, saying: Did your mother send the money or does she want them en- tered?"
 My mother didn't send me at all," said the boy, seizng hold of the bill "It's my arithmetic lesson, and had to get it done somehow"
 I'll make a bet, too," she softly mur- mured. "If Bryan is elected you will agree to marry me-"
 There was a brief silence. Then queer smile struggled across the face of the agi- tated youth. Another smile lighted the countenance of the happy maid
 "Why wait for the election returns" he chucked
 Why indeed? she echoed
 And they were married the next week.

United States and China.

The German demand for "the surrender of such persons as are determined upon as being the first and real perpetrators of the crimes committed in Pekin against interna tional law coupled with the occupation of Chna's capital constitutes a condition that no other nation would stand for min ute until it had expended its entire strength in warfare. Germany, last of all, would submit to such humiliation. The demand really calls for punishment without the formality of fair and just trial. It strikes at the sovereignty of China, and at the continuance of the present dynasty. This country has declined to join Germany in this demand, and 1t is now reported that Germany, Russia and France are framing a new policy-a policy that will lead doubt less 10 more delay and to more opportunity for the partition of China.
 Disguise the case as one may. the fact cannot be lost sight of that the United States, Great Britain and Japan must stand together If they are to be influential in the settlement of the great Yellow prob- lem These three nations dominate the sea beyond the shadow of question, and what they unitedly say must be done will cer- tainly be done. Their battleships are elo- quent, and all the rest of the world cannot meet such eloquence.
 The two chief things that this country should strive for are, first, the integrity of the Chinese Empire. and, second "the open door, England and Japan both desire these two terms of settlement. Russia, France and Germany stand for the opposite policy. They are land hungry, and are not to be trusted, especially in China If Sec retary Hay, now back at his post, succeeds in preserving China intact and in opening the great Empire freely to the trade of the world, he will come out of the muddle with flying colors-otherwise he will not

 Even the Age-Herald is possibly un- aware of the full extent of its great enter prise in bringing about free rural mail de- livery for Jefferson County" said w. M Lindsay, the florist
 'This great work of the Age-Herald will be great blessing of immense business value to the people; for it gives them what they stand in greatest heed of-constant and rapid postal communication.
 Our own individual case is an example. Our gardens and greenhouses are about a mile outside of the postal system of Birm- ingham proper, on the Fifth avenue road; and the result is we have to send in for our mail every morning, and before we can get the mail the best part of the day Is gone Under the arrangements the Age-Herald is so enterprisingly and unselfishishly making, we will get our mail by o'clock and can give the carrier often a cartload of stuff for the postoffice, supposing he travels In a cart. It will mean increased revenue for the postoffice and vastly increased business for us. I am making great preparation for the free delivery"

In the Fourth District.

The Age-Herald was blamed in some quarters for its persistent advocacy of the nomination of Sidney J. Bowie for Con gress in the Fourth district; and 1t con- siders its course fully vindcated by the refusal of the opposition to put up can- in district that has been represented four years by a Republican of high standing and force, is also a great tribute to Mir. Bowie; for 1t is not only a practical &C., people, but 1t is also an acknowledgement of his capacity after election.
 Altogether the state has been we'll served in the nomination of MT. Bowie. If the wake up, thereby ensuring the reelection of MT. Burnett, it means a solid Democrat ic delegation in the Fifty-seventh Con- gress, and every vote gained in that Con- gress is of great value. The contest for the control of the House is confessedly close, and Alabama can be put down as contributing one to a Democratic control of it.
 The Fourth district will serve itself and all the rest of the state by keeping MT. Bowie in Congressional seat as long as he is willing to serve; for he is a man who will grow in Congress, and if he be kept there long enough, the country will come to know and respect him. There is the making of national figure in him, and he Will soon rank well up alongside our own Mr. Underwood

FROM "BALDER"

Sidney Dobell. He stands beside throne of golden hills, And up the steep steps of the royal throne The burdened forests climb like countless
 slaves Laden with gold. He stands and needs them
 not; Meanwhile his hand, with air abstract and
 wan, From the abounding tribute of the earth Scatters imperial largesse. All her fields Are his: they own their lord; his barns are
 full, His rivers run with wine, and his red plains Shout with the vintage Yet he stands be-
 side His golden throne, and looketh up to
 heaven, And sigheth in the melancholy winds. And smileth sweeter sadness. He hath
 learned The lesson of power; therefore his locks are
 sere. Therefore there is no light in the sunk
 eyes Which day and night reproach the sun and
 stars With the unsated hunger of a soul That is no richer though the world be won

Sanitary Trunk Sewer.

The mooted plan of building a trunk sewer at the expense of the county for the sake of the health of the county Is beyond reasonable objection. Even the taxpayer in the remotest corner. on its highest hill, is peculiarly interested in the preservation of the general health of the county in its freedom from epidemics. If he be farmer his customers would live on or near the trunk sewer, and his own pocket is touched if his customers lose their accustomed health. All are interested in preserving the public health, and the public health largely depends upon public cleanliness in the more crowded localities. Epidemcs rarely arise on farms. They spring from and are fed by filth, and the object of a trunk sewer is the speedy removal of filth.
 The Age-Herald does not see how any the building of a trunk sewer, when it would involve an extra expense of only five cents year on each s10O of assessed valuation. The public health is worth much more than that.
 There can be no assurance of health in the county unless the proposed trunk sewer be built by somebody or some corporation, and the county is plainly the organization that should undertake the task, for it will be one of general benefit. It will increase the value of all property in the county. It will when supplemented by ample supplies of pure water forbid dangerous epidemics, and the only wonder Is that the work was not long ago undertaken and completed. Better late, however, than never.

WOAiAN MOOD

From the Detroit Journal.
 We saw at once that the hideous practice of foot binding had crushed all but the mere semblance of womanhood out of the Chinese person.
 For when we spoke of her shoes how lit- tie they were, she merely smiled, sadly, and did not even intimate, let alone asser- vate, that she could readily wear two @ sizes smaller.
 "But happily she is unconscious of her pitiable degradation!" we exclaimed, when we had left her, and in this thought we found some comfort.
