ENGLISH POLITICS.

The British Parliament will open on
Thursday of this week and some inter
esting developments in Government al
fairs are expected. z London CORES
pondent SAYS it is tacitly understood be-
tween King Edward and Lord Sails
bury that if the war; is not finished by
HE, date set for The coronation, Salisbury
will resign, whercupon the King will
commission the Earl OF. Rosebery to
form an administratio chiefly offLiberal-
I1nperialists, together with the Duke OF
peyonshire and the Marquis OF Lans-
downe. to bring the vert an end, and
that if&t this nninistryis defeated by the
Tory majoritytsin the House of Conf
mons the King will dissolve Parliament.
This goes to show that tire English
people are getting very tired of the war
IN South Africa. 1t has cost them huge
sum of money, piling UP the countrys
debt in away that must-alar.m the tax
payers; it has cost the lives of many or
Great Britain's brightest and best SOL
d;ers. and it undoubtedly had much to
do with the death of Queen Victoria But
for all that Great Britain will fight it out
to finish.

HUMAN VANITY.
Il Has Often . Very Small Foundation to sus.
tain It.

Il Has Often . Very Small Foundation to sus.
tain Il.
From the Spinster Book.
Vanity of vanities. One woman has
stone, no larger than a pea, brought
from mine in South Africa. Vanity
sets it proudly upon her breast and
leads other women to envy her its pos.
session, for purely selfish reasons.
One woman's gown ia made from a
plant which grows in Georgia and she
is unhappy because it is not the prod.
uct of a French or Japanese worm.
Vanity allows a tender-hearted woman,
who cannot see q child or a dumb
brute in pain, to order the tails OF
her horses cut to the fashionable
length, and to wear upon her hat the
pitiful little body OF song bird that
been skinned alive. One woman's
coat is woven from the covering OF q
sheep and she is not content because
it has not cost greater number oi
silver pieces and more bits of green
paper besides the life of an Arctic seal,
that never harmed her nor hers. All
is vanity. The mad race still goes on.
It is insatiate vanity which wrecks
lives, rules homes, torments ones fel-
lows and blinds the clear vision of its
victims. 1t harms others, but most oil
all ones self.

Gated for each. Men have not thought
80 much about the size OF heaven.
They have probably always felt that
there would be ample room for those
able to get there. If q lack Of room
we're possible, in the divine order oi
things, it would probably be at the
other place, judging from the pro-
nouncements that are made from
time to time. Room has never been
a matter of serious consideration with
men who have paused long enough in
the whirl OF events to mediate on the
blessings which are to follow life of
righteousness. The main question,
and the one in which all men are
most concerned. is the simple question
Of the shortest, best and safest way.
Put in different language, they want
to know how to get there, and if the
studious statistician will figure out
some plan that will meet with general
satisfaction along this line he will
probably smooth out the burrows
which now mark the faces of uneasy
sinners.

A Hit at the New Pedagogy.
Kansas City Journal.

Modern children, whose education
is in the hands of advanced" ex.
perimentalists, are the victims of
every kindergarten fad and new
tangled method that pedagogy can de-
wise. A boy who had been the patient
of some school teachers nonsense was
brought by his mother to consult an
occulist. The physician, says a New
York paper, went about in the usual
way to discover the defects of vision.
He placed chart before the boy.
The first word was chat"
"Now read this word" said the doc
tor.
"Hhhhuh ah-tuhhh," gurgled the
boy.
"Then try this" said the doctor,
pointing to "big."
"Buh-ih-guhhh," was the sputter-
ing attempt.
L" Madam" said the physician,
there is some trouble here that has
nothing to do with vision. The vocal
organs seem to be affected"
"Oh, no." answered the mother, che
pronounced the words correctly
Pronounced them correctlyp
Yes; that was all right. That is
the phonetic method he is taught in
school. He used to speak and see as
other people do before he began to
learn this method"
Madam" said the doctor gravely,
" send him to good school or take
him out of school and put him to
reading good books in clear type.
Then there'll be nothing the matter
with his sight or his education, and he
won't talk like bullfrog."

occupied by the door keepers at the
main entrance to the House. An old
man came up.
"Will you please go in and see if
Mr.. Mudd is there?" he asked of
Mudd, thinking he was doorkeeper.
"He is not in the house at present."
replied Mudd.
"But wish you would 60 in and
see," insisted the old man. "I came
quite piece to see him, and I want
my pension fixed up"

ago." said Mudd, "and he hasn't gone
back yet"
Please 60 in and see," pleaded the
old man.
Mudd got up, went into the house,
stayed a minute, then came out, held
out his hand to the old man and said
Z" l am Mr.. Mudd. What can / do
for your" and listened patiently to
the tale OF woe.
