SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

A census just completed shows that
there are 94,SS2 children of school age
in Boston, and that 1852 of them are
pupils in the public schools and 1861
in private schools.
The board of education of New York
city has decided to allow the Public
Education association and the Gaelic
choral union the use of two public
school buildings in which to give con-
certs on Sunday afternoons
1t is stated that in the historic vii
lage of Hermannsburg, in Germany,
there are four kinds of Independent
Lutheran churches, each Of which re-
fuses to recognize the other or to prac-
tice altar and pulpit fellowship.
Among the wonderful mosaics of the
ancient Church Of St. Sophia is gi-
gantic figure of the Saviour. Moham-
medan desecration has covered it with
whitewash and paint, but through it all
the original picture can be easily iden-
tilted.
The earliest extant manuscript Of
The Hebrew Old Testament is a copy Of
the Pentateuch, now in the British mu-

and the earliest manuscript bearing

The Chicago Tract society has closed
a year in all respects the most salts
factory and successful in its long rec
ord of usefulness. One million and six
hundred thousand pages of tracts in
81 languages have been distributed by
500 voluntary helpers, while 10 mission
airy colporteurs have made more than
$4,000 calls. six of them laboring among
the Slavonic population, and one giving
his whole time to the inmates Of the
poor house at Dunning. AT the annual
meeting, recently held, Mr.. Luther
Latin Mills was elected president.
The pastor of church at Napoleon,
O., has quite a unique way of utilizing
the graduate members of Endeavor So
sieties in the work of the church. He
has organized his membership into
committees of six each. Each commit
tee has charge of q certain district,
keeping him informed of cases Of sick
ness, and visiting all the inhabitants
in that district who are not members
of the church. In three weeks $50 calls
were made, and 20 were added to the
church, 20 from families not connected
with any church. Once month the
committees meet together and discuss
ways and means. The efficiency of the
work is promoted still more by pas
tors cabinet of so, representing all the
societies in the church, and the elders
and trustees.

TO "KEEP" THE CIDER.
Brown Tried II Formula Recommend
cd by Smith and There Was
Trouble In she Cellar.

at is a plebeian taste, l will admit,
said Brown, "but plead guilty to a
liking for cider | suppose my early
boyhood days, when l used to extract
it fresh from the press through the
medium of a strdAg, are responsible for
my desire. But give me a glass of
cider just at the point when it com
mences to sparkle with life, and l
would not trade it for all the fancy
drinks ever invented
Fall weather reminded me Of it the
other day, and CHANGED to speak of it
in the presence of Smith, bemoaning
the fact that there were no means to
keep cider from working and becoming
hard.
"That reminded him of a formula
that had been in his fathers family for
years. He said he had tried it and it
had always been a success. He guar
anteed that if it were put up according
to the formula it would keep for years.
"He was so enthusiastic aboutit that
I had him furnish me the formula.
Then while my wife was away I sent
to my old home-place and had barrel
of cider sent me from the cider mil!
that I used to play around when l was
boy. carefully followed Smiths di-
rections and bottled the whole barrel
and then regretted that I didn't order
another barrel at the same time.
When I had it all nicely stored away
down cellar thought of the many
pleasant times l would have during the
long winter evenings.
"The other night I was reading my
paper when there was an explosion
down cellar that sounded like re-
port of a 13-inch gun. l seized a
lamp and started to investigate. l
was half way down the stairs when an
other explosion took place, filing the
cellar with flying glass and causing me
to beat a hasty retreat.
"Since then" Brown continued, ac-
cording to the Detroit Free Press, my
bottled cider has been going off at in
tervals, with now and then a louder
crash, as it sweeps off from the shelves
the canned fruit that my wife has been
putting up all summer. No one has
dared to enter the cellar since the bonn
bardment commenced, and I shudder
to think what my wife will say when
she gets home and sees the ruin that
has been wrought among that precious
canned fruit of hers"

singular PIurals.

A correspondent who keeps watch
full eye on our columns wants to know
what are the correct plurals OF mon
goose" and phoenix" One is tempt
ed to write "mongeese" as one Is
tempted to write "Musselmen'"
though neither man nor goose has
any claim to consideration in these
words. "Mongoose" is quite. a fancy
spelling, and you may spell it mum
gous" or "mongouS" or "mungoos,"
as YOU will. Therefore, we think
"mongoose" is quite plural enough to
cover all the specimens that are like
" to come up for christening. AS to
the phoenix-its case may be dis
missed with the swiftness of police
court magistrate. There is never more
than one on the active list at the same
time. so the phoenix does not require
a plural at all-London Chronicle

The poet, Walt Whitman, was, as is
we'll known, dependent during most of
his life upon the kindness of friends
and admirers for support, making
little or nothing on his writings. A
few years before his death one of
these friends called upon him in his
little house in Camden, a suburb town
of Philadelphia. "Well, Walt" he
said, show goes it this winter? Any
subscription needed for Christmas?"
NO." said Whitman. mo, I'm at work
now. I'm in the employ of George
Childs. He pays me $50 a month"

cars. l fall into talk with the drivers
and conductors, and find out which
of them have no overcoats and guess
at their size and notify Childs, and
then he sends the overcoats. It's not
hard work." said the poet. "And then,
you know, it helps Childs along"

INSIDE A GREAT DAM.
Interesting Description of the Work
ings of n Mammoth I'm
dertaIxiuR.

Down in the hole, $50 feet below the
completed part of the wall, in a chasm
of natural powders and masonry
rocks, the pumps drum and gurgle,
taking out of the pit for their daily
task half a million of gallons of wa
ter. Far overhead the buckets go fly
ing swiftly by along the cable ways,
then stop as suddenly and slide down
to the ground, to rise again empty a
minute later and be swept out of sight
over the edge of the wall, says de-
scription of "the Greatest of Power
Dams" in Leslie's Monthly. Great
hooks suspended from heavy chains
swoop down, grasp an enormous stone
and then, far above the confusion,
slide through the air again to lower
it to its place on the wall as accurate
w and gently as if it were mere peb-
Bile. The great cranes that raise and
lower their enormous arms and circle
around in a narrower radius add to the
orderly confusion. Far above the hole
towers the huge dirt wall of the cof-
fer dam with It's latuce work OF sup
porting beams, the ends of great logs
sticking out through the sides, and on
top the scaffolding of the cable towers
standing high against the sky, looking
altogether like nothing so much as
the familiar drawings in the back of
Caesars commentaries of the Roman
method of attacking a walled town.
Useful Thing with n Hard Name.
For 40 years physicists have been
seeking some substance to serve as a
screen, cutting off all the light and
heat-giving rays of the spectrum, while
allowing the invisible ultraviolet rays
to pass. Finally, Prof r. W. Wood of
the Johns Hopkins university, has dis
covered the long-sought substance
which bears the unpopular name Of
"nitroso dimethylaniline." When
combined with cobalt glass this sub
stance furnishes a screen which allows
only ultra violet rays to pass through

COURAGE OR FATALISM 2
Japanese Soldier Who Went to the
Front Expecting to BE
Killed.

The little lieutenant who lived just
across the street from o. X. Da-
Wis, the New York Suns war CORE
spondent in Tientsin, said to him one
day:
- should be very happy to have
you visit me in my home in Japan
after this war is over, but l expect
to be killed"
He was perfectly sincere and unaf-
fected, says Everybody's Magazine.
His belief did not alter his attention
to duty in the slightest. He went
wherever he was ordered as gayly as
if it were to a feast, no matter if
the field was swept with bullets.
When l saw him in Peking a day or
so after the legation had been re-
lieved, he said, simply:
perhaps L shall not be killed this
time, after all"
Would you call it courage when
| such a man as that leads a little col
umn against a stone wall, and, when
he can't get over at first, sits down
and waits until he can? He hasn't
any conception of courage. He is
brave, but with the bravery of bull
dog. There is more real courage in
the old hen futtering over her little
chickens to protect them from the
threatened hawk. If it were not for
them she would flee fast enough from
the danger.
There you have the essential differ
ence between courage and bravery
and between the American soldier
and the japanese or Russian. The
orientals, counting the Russian as an
oriental, are dangerous men to meet
because they have no care for the
result. How much more dangerous
is the man who sees through the
end and discounts it all, yet goes
ahead to the desperate finish.
