We would like to ask the Home
Journal how 1t is possible for pupils
to study at school when their time is
occupied in trying to learn lot OF
fumadiddles which nineteen out Of
twenty will never have any use for.
What is most needed at present is a
"lopping off" of some of those high
falutin,n time-taking studies and de-
voting more time to mental arithme-
tic, history, geography, reading, writ
ing and spelling. Pupils tell US tney
have no time to study at school and
that the teacher has no time to in
struct them-the whole time is occu-
pied in recitations.

Thirty-Fifth Wedding Anniversary.

Last Thursday evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Allen j. Eddy occur
ed one of the most pleasing and
pleasant and perfect surprises that
could be imagined. 1t was the 35th
anniversary Of their welded life and
as they sat ground the family hearth
IN their comfortable home spending
the evening in their usual quiet way,
happy in the thought of prosperous
ana contented years together, possibly
dreaming OF the ebb and flow of years
to come, they were startled by a knock
at the door and opening it with their
usual cheer and hospitality were
dumbfounded to see the happy crowd
OF neighbors that crowded in to help
them celebrate with befitting cheer
this happy event. AS they cast their
eye over the beaming faces of their
neighbors, their minds went in retro
spect, to lift the veil of the past.
twenty years ago they came to the
then raw and rolling plains of the
county and settled on the place they
still call home. Many were the dark
ening shadows that sped across the
horizon OF their hopes, but unfaltering
and undismayed, together they sought
the silver lining of every cloud and
triumphantly smiled upon the fleck
faced dome of happiness. Years Of in
dustry, frugality and honesty, have
given them deep seat in the hearts
OF their neighbors. The reward of
honesty has been an ever widening
circle of true and trusted friends who
had gathered on this occasion bring
ing with them happy, we'll wishing
hearts and well filled baskets. It
seemed as if the old house would have
to bulge its sides to hold its guests so
many were there. Lights twinkled
ana gllstened from every room and
every nook and corner echoed with
mirrh and cheer and comfort. 1t was
a happy affair to say the least and one
that will long be a happy remem-
brance to friends and hosts. Many
tokens were left by the welcome
guests, to recall the celebration. AS
they departed. each wished that
through years of joy and sunshine;
through days of pleasure and content
ment with their daily toll, they may
labor side by side, sharing the coming
joys and griefs, and still surround
themselves with an abundance of this
worlds goods-the common comforts
of life.

Some idea of amateur photography
as it was in its early days may be
gathered from an incident which the
late Bishop Walsham How coniided tc
his note book. Before he became q
bishop he used to call together the
old men of the parish on New Years
day, and on one occasion he displayed
to his guests photograph Of two old
men who had long worked at the rec.
tory. They were photographed N
their working clothes, one with a
spade and the other holding little
tree as If about to plant it. a very
deaf old man. Richard Jones, took the
photograph in his hands. and looking
at it said: Beautiful. Beautiful"
So the rector shouted: who are they,
Richard?" why" he said. ''its
Abraham offering up Isaac to be sac
rificed!" The rector tried to undeceive
him, and as the old men who had been
photographed were sitting opposite
him, he said: you'll see them before
you IL you'll look up" Richard
smiled serenely but all he said was:
Eyes. yes, sees 'em b.fore me-by
faith!"-Youth's Companion.

do you deliyer?"
''Ninety-one, SIR"

The gentleman made some remarks
about an early summer and, the state
of the roads, and then asked:
Thomas, how much milk per day do
your cows average?"
Seven quarts, sir"
"Ah, uni" said the gentleman, as he
moved off.
Thomas looked after him, scratched
his head. and all at once grew pale as
he pulled out lead pencil and began
TO figure on the wagon cover. Nine

quarts under the cows and multiply;l
that's sixty-three quarts OF milk. II

long been strangers to sleep, and he
seems as If he could not find anything
to say.
But at last words come.

He is white as chalk as he gazes
down at her; but Barbara is quite

smile that Is quivering and dancing in
her eyes.
George, have something to say to

her hands upon his arm. Come"
They walk down the road together.
It is their last interview. How shall
they crowd in all the VOWS and prom

when young hearts seem breaking?
1t Is over at last-the girls face
very tear-stained, and the mans pale
with feeling.

is little tremulous because he feels
like one who has been reprieved.
George goes off to Portraven, still
with that tremulous Joy and relief in
his heart, and feels very humble and
thankful.
George goes to the bank, cashes a
small cheque-a cheque that now he
feels ashamed Of because the money
has been won from a bookmaker.
However, 1t is the last time. he says to
himself, pocketing the gold and leav-
ing the bank. AS he runs down the
steps he comes face to face with Sc
bastian Saville. The two men nod to
each other in the manner of those who
foster a mutual dislike.
Afterwards they meet at the post
office. where George is dispatching a
telegram. In fact. he is transmitting
the sum of one hundred pounds
through the postofiice by telegram. A
little pile Of yellow gold is handed in
the Office window. Sebastian stares.
and George turns first crimson. then
white, and his hands shake. He feels
the eyes Of Sebastian Saville on him.
and his confusion increases
Again the two men exchange hostile
glances. George finishes his business
and swings out Of the postoffice. Mr.,
Saville buys some postage stamps. and
goes out into the sunny street again.

The Regicides' Well.

The contractors who are tearing
down the buildings near the Yale cam
pus to make room for the new Yale
bicentennial buildings discovered the
old regicides' well. 1t is about block
north of the Yale campus, under the
front porch of brick house. 1t has
been covered up for half a century,
but the wall remains and drain leads
from the surface into the shaft Of the
well. In this land, which was far out
from the center Of New Haven 100
years ago, tradition has 1t that the
three English regicides, Edward Wal
ley, John Dixwell and William COTE.
lived in retirement in a hut which
they had built in the woods. Near
this spot they dug the well. They re-
manned only a short time in their hut
and then went to Westville and West
Rock. 1t is said that the college will
put a memorial tablet on the walls
of the new alumni hall to commemo'
rate the well.-New York Post.
