The first right of man is to have a
good school. The first duty OF demo
crazy is to train through the schools
its citizens to,vote intelligently; to work
effectively: to live honestly, and in
this country, where the many are poor
and where no titled name nor rank from
royal blood is recognized, the free
school is privilege and necessity
the one socialinStitution through which
the rich and the poor alike realize their
destiny and approach the goal of real
power and service. -Superintenden,

The Sunday Stone.

The Sunday stone" of the Oxford
museum was taken from colliery
drain and is perfect calendar of Sun
days and holidays. 1t is composed of
carbonate OF lime. When miners were
at work, the water running through
the drain left black deposit colored
by coal dust. At other times the water
ran clear, leaving the stone deposit
white. In course Of time these black
and white layers formed a stone Of
considerable thickness, which consti-
tutes very complete calendar Each
day of work has as it's record a black
streak, followed by a white streak,
which marks the hours of rest at night
Wider white streaks mark the Sundays
and whole holidays, and thus it has
taken it's name as the Sunday stone"

ROssini'S Memory.

Rossinis memory was lacking in re-
tentiveness, especially in respect to
the names of persons who had been
introduced to him. This forgetfulness
was frequently cause Of amusement
whenever Rossini was among compa-
ny. One day he met Bishop, the Eng
fish composer. Rossini knew the face
well enough and at once greeted him.
''Ah, my dear Mr. but the name es-
capped his memory, and to convince him
that he had not forgotten him Rossini
began whistling Bishops glee, when
the Wind Blows" compliment which
''the English Mozart" as Bishop had
been dubbed, recognized quite as readi-
ly as if his ecclesiastical surname had
been mentioned.

A Mob.

A mob is usually creature of very
mysterious existence, particularly in a
large city. Where it comes from or
whittier it goes few men can tell. AS
sembling and dispensing with equal
suddenness, it is as difficult to follow
to it's various sources as the sea itself,
nor does the parallel stop here, for
the ocean is not more tickle and uncer-
tain, more terrible when aroused, more
unreasonable or more cruel-Dickens.

planning Tapping of Pipes
of Company.

Milwaukee, April AFTER one Of
the most ingenious pleas ever offered
in court, Charles Ross, retired hard
ware merchant and owner of two
large fiat buildings, pleaded guilty 10
a charge Of stealing $4,000 worth Of
gas from the Milwaukee Gas company,
and was fined 500, which is the limit
for the offense under the statutes
Attorney Slower for Ross said that
his client was an inventor, who was
experimenting with water burner,
which would consume gas without
SCOT. He took the gas secretly, as he
did not wish the gas company to learn
of his invention, and because he could
not afford to pay for the large amount
he used.

POTATOES IN FRANCE.
Parmentier's willy Plan to XIII tn.
Prejudice Against Them.

Parmentier's willy Plan to XIII the
Prejudice Against Them.
The way In which Parmentier Gre
ated demand for potatoes in France
would have done credit to the widest
of willy tradesmen. Nothing would at
first induce the simple minded peas
ants to cultivate the popular tuber.
They would not listen to lectures on
its virtues nor accept seed potatoes
free Of cost for planting
Parmentier therefore decided to get
the better of their prejudice by artifice
and with this object leased as much
land as he could round Paris and plant
ed 1t with potatoes. just before the
rIpening of the crop he posted watch
ers round the fields and issued notices
that all persons stealing potatoes
would be severely punished, the crop
being intended for the tables of the
king and mobiles.
Such delicacies. continued the notice,
were too good for ignorant peasants.
who would touch them at their peril
or course watch was only kept during
the day, and at night the fields were
robbed right and left by the peasants,
who were curious to taste the strange
vegetable and jealous that 1t should be
reserved for their betters.
AS soon as they had tasted the sue
culent tubers the pllferers were only
too anxious to plant as many as they
could possibly purchase the willy Par
mentier's scheme thus succeeding be
yond the most extrayagant anticipa-
tons.
