This Little Pig Stayed at Home.

1t was formerly the custom OF the
country folk TO work out their taxes
by boarding the teacher, which meant
that from time to time he was sup
piled from various quarters with
food.
One day boy named Tim Moore
head breathlessly sought the teacher,
exclaiming:
Say, teacher. my pa wants to
know IL you like pork"
Indeed do, Tim" was the reply.
Say to your father that there Is
nothing in the way OF meat that
like better than pork"
Some time passed. and there was
no pork from Tins father. fact that
in no way surprised the teacher, for
the old man was known throughout
the county as tight proposition.
Nevertheless, one afternoon the
teacher took the boy aside and asked:
How about that pork, Tim, that
your father promised me?"
"Oh," answered Tim, "the pig got
well. l."-Harper' Weekly.

Let Everybody Plant Trees.

If every land owner would plant
in every available place such trees
as would not only give present beau

of valuable timber. IL would SO sup

ment forest reserve that reforesta-

sable white oak is naturally only a

in a much shorter time, and it will
pay for itself from the time 1t begins

no other material can possibly take
the place of wood in the making OF
furniture.-Craftsman.

Early Christian School in Ireland.

OF the Venerable Bede that about the
middle OF 1t great crowds of Anglo
Saxons, among them Egbert and
Saint Chad, came over to Ireland,
and were kindly welcomed by the
Irish. who provided them gratuitous-
ly with food, books and teachers"
During the same century two for
eign kings were educated in ireland
-Dagobert III. Of France and Aldfrid
OF Northumbria, who has left an
Irish poem in praise of the country.
Irish geometers, geographers and as
tronomers were then far in advance
Of their age, and the study OF Greek,
which had all but died out I'm the
countries farther east, was common
in ireland. "At one time" says NJ.
Darmesteter. Armagh, the religious
capital Of Christian Ireland, was the
metropolis Of civilization"
The earliest OF celebrated Irish
schools was founded more than 400
years ago by Saint Enda, the son OF
a King of Oriel, on the wild, rocky
island OF Aran More, off the coast OF
Galway, whittier "feetsful" of schol-
ars came from all quarters.
Other schools as famous and nearly
as ancient were Clonard, close to the
River Boyne. and Clonfert or the
Shannon; but greater than either Of
them was Clonmacnoise. founded by
Saint Ciaran beside a wide curve in
the Shannon not far from Athlone,

Although many beautiful works
still bear witness to Irish achieve
ments in art and letters, testimony
ever stronger to the nations constant
love for such things abides in the

The Passing OF Courtroom Oratory.

Inspiration is lost art in the
courtroom. Nowadays no true law
yer advises, prepares documents or
tries a case without careful prepar-
alton. Forensic oratory has passed
away. No longer does the crowd
gather In the county courthouse to
listen to and be moved by the wit,
pathos and eloquence of the advocate
as for hours or days he addresses the
jury. The courtroom may be filed,
but 1t is largely with the ubiquitous
reporters, many of whom are as des-
titute of tears as Sahara of water and
as callous to emotion as the mum
mied sleepers of Egypt. No longer
is it true that weeping men and
women with handkerchiefs to their
eyes are moved by the eloquence OF
counsel. Time is a pressing factor.
Facts rather than eloquence Is the
demand.-D. c. Brewer, in Atlantic.

Here are tables similar to those in
the Casino gaming room, and each
pupil in turn takes the role Of croT-
pier, while others personate players
and stake money over table. At a
given signal the Croupier must be
ready 20 calculate and pay out the
winning stakes.
There are usually between forty
and fifty pupils in this school, and u
six months course is generally sutli-
cient to turn them into finished Crou-
piers.
\ very odd educational establish
ment is the school for grave diggers
in Belgium. 1t was founded by the
directors of the Great Evere Gene
terry, and all candidates for posts as
sections in Belgium must undergo
training in the school and pass an eX-
animation.
There are several schools Of house
wifery in England. the principal of

fact that it never was quenched by
all the water of afiiction through
which 1t passed. Wars, massacres,
pestilence and famine swept in wide
waves over the land.
A time came, and lasted for gener-
alton after generation, when 1t was
felony for the greater part OF the
people either TO teach or to be taught,
or even to own book or a manu-
script; a time when children might
be seen furtively learning their alpha
bet from letters chalked on their
fathers tombstone.
Yet in the worst days schools con-
tinued TO exist, however secretly and
perilously, and a scholar was always
an object OF respect and admiration.

of lreland's most famous vice-queens
in the last century's second half. As
regards social and fashionable dis
tinction these two ladies were about
equal. Both also took the same prac-
teal interest in reviying more than
one almost extinct Irish industry.
The true social parallel between
"the Spencers and the Cadogans' lies
in the fact that each OF these Coun-

SOME QUEER SCHOOLS.
EOr Policemen, Nurscmaids, Grave
Diggers, Judges and Croupicrs.


There are some very strange edu-
Cational establishments open at the
present day. A school for cash boys
was opened some time ago, says the
Boston Transcript.
According to prospectus pupils,
who must not be under fourteen
years OF age, are taught arithmetic in
every day use, bookkeeping, penman-
ship and the quick handling and
counting of money. Many of the
boys who have attended the school
are earning good wages as cashiers
in some of the largest stores in New
York aud Chicago.
1t is proposed TO open in London a
school for nursemaids, where girls
over sixteen years of age may be Civ
en- lessons in the management OF in
fants, preparing of Children's food,
plain sewing and laundry work and
the kindergarten system of educa-
ton.
Such an institution already exists
in Berlin. 1t was founded two years
ago by clergyman and is in Connec-
tion with founding hospital. The
growing girls of this establishment
are taught 20 become competent
housemaids. and positions are found
for them in the houses of the best
families in Germany.
Russia possesses a school FOR po-
licemen, where young men are
trained for the force. The school is
situated in st. Petersburg, and in a
museum connected thereto the pupils
make themselves familiar with jim
mics, drills, chisels and other tools
used by profe sgional thieves. \ par
ticular branch of thA school Is the
Russian passport system, which every
budding policeman has to study in de-
tail.
A remarkable educational estah.
Iishment is the school for Judges
opened recently in Paris. Here make
believe trials are held by pupils un-
der the supervision of we'll known at
torneys. The whole procedure, from
the issuing of warrant for arrest to
the summing up and the Judges yer.
dict, is carried through in a busiLess
like manner.
At Monte Carlo there is a school
of croupiers. IL IS held during the
siz summer months in the club room
of the Tir aux Pigeons and the Sale
dEscrime In the Casino building.

, of double gamble, and many men can
not resist the temptation TO speculate
upon the chances simply i'm order to
have the fun Of drawing the little en-
velopes.
or course, many of the raGies are
for cases OF genuine charity, and il is
an easy way 10 raise funds for some
worthy object. Many a person who
would not accept an outright gift,
even in case of sickness or death, will
permit friends to ralfle off piano or
a bicycle for good round price in Or
der to obtain fund TO tide him over
an emergency. To buy tickets for
this kind of a raffle is praiseworthy.
But sharpers are not above getting
money by the same means. II "a
strange man, or a doubtful looking
woman, wants to sell you chance for
the. benefit of IAN old soldier" or a
little orphan girl" or striker out
OF work" it might pay you TO inyes-
tigate.
But here Is whore the easy money
comes in for the sharper. II Is too
much trouble to investigate, and the
tender hearted person would sooner
give up the ten, twenty-five or fifty
cents to an unworthy CRATER than to
take chances of refusing to aid case
Of genuine need.
Then, too, there is what might be
called a legitimate rafIle business. OF
course, the raffic is lottery under
the law, and, therefore. is n criminal
transaction. But in many cases goods
OF known value but slow sales are
disposed OF through raflcs, and the
drawings conducted honestly. A
north side man disposed OF an auto
mobile in this way. II had been a

the type was old. He wanted to get
a new one. and as the makers would
not allow him anything in exchange
for the old, he sold rafIle tickets 10

got real bargain-the losers paying
the bill
A group OF young men who wanted
to build themselves little clubhouse
in the Fox Lake region resOrted TO
rattle that was almost a downright
steal. They had the printer make
them tickets and each one went
among his friends and organized
suit club, selling chances for $50
tailor-made suit. OF course those
who invested understood that the suit
probably would be worth about SIS,
but they were satisfied to help build
the clubhouse on that basis, and be-
sides they thought they had fair
chance to get the suit.
II was learned afterward by acct
dent that there were twenty series"
OF tickets sold by these young men.
and instead OF each series standing
for suit, only one drawing was held
and only a single suit made for the
entire twenty series of tickets. I'm
other words, they sold $500 worth
OF tickets for a $50 suit of clothes.
They built their clubhouse. however.
and laughed at the man who kicked
because he thought he did not get Il
square deal for the half dozen tickets
he bought. They thought 1t was "A
good joke. .-Michigan Tradesman.

EARLY SCHOOLS IN IRELAND.


Quite small children were sent to
school in ancient Ireland, and, writes
Jane Barlow In Youths Companion.
like children of to-day, began their
studies with the alphabet. The let
ters were sometimes stamped on
bread or cakes, which the youthful
scholars might eat when their lesson
was learned--a sort of kindergarten
device.
The chief school-founding period
in Ireland was in the seventh CEN
tury. We learn from the chronicles

Nine Rules For PROPOSING
by NORRIS SALMONSON, Marriage
License Clerk.

Proposing Is the crucial point in
love, and love, | have learned from
these young men, resembles business
in many ways as far as the proposing
point is concerned. The psychologi-
cal instant in many cases is a matter
OF mathematics, and can easily be
prearrauged by any young man who
cares TO make study Of women.
Most young men rush blindly into the
game without observing its rules, and
that Is one OF the reasons why we
have suicides before marriage and
the divorce courts afterward. Write
down these rules:
/. Propose before the winter sets
in.
2. Propose In the moonlight, twi-
light, gaslight (turned low, and
never in the sunlight, daylight or
electric light (unless you've got
smoked glasses).
3. Propose to a girl when she's
hungry or just after she has eaten.
4. Never propose TO girl before
4 o'clock in the afternoon.
5. Don't make up your mind be-
forehand as To what YOU are going to
say when you propose.
6. Don't get on your knees to pro-
pose.
Z. Don't propose to girl too soon
after gaining her acquaintance.
&. Don't wait too long.
.. Play your cards carefully, and
the average girl can be made to pro-
pose TO you, in actions at least.
Why should the proposal be de-
laycd until the winter sets in? My
boy, that is an important rule. In
the spring, You know, a young mans
fancy lightly turns TO thoughts OF
love, and i'm the winter young wom-
ans mind leans TO dreams of a cozy
Of home, and they dream OF IL most
when the parks are dreary and the
bleak winds blow.
A girl should be proposed to either
just before she has eaten or imme-
diately after. If her lover pops the
big question when his lady love is
hungry she is apt to glance down the
stretch Of years that make the future
and to think Of the probable occa-
sions when she will be hungry again,
and in that event it is more than like
ly she will reply favorably. A busi-
ness man is most approachable just
after he has eaten, and why shouldn't
girls be the same way?
It's no use to prearrange your
speech for the momentous occasion.
because you are sure to forget it
when the time comes. and then you
are in an awful predicament. For
getting what you intended to say,
you cant collect your thoughts to
think of anything else.
A girl likes TO be wooed before she
is won, and for that reason it Is not
safe to propose too soon after gaining
her acquaintance.
Girls are so anxious TO get married
nowadays that they will take desper-
ate chances If young man shows the
least hesitancy, and "A lot of worrying
that young men do is entirely useless
for that reason.

A story is told of two printers who
lived for month on a cheap silver
watch which they raffied of almost
daily, until they had "worked" nearly
all the printing Offices Of any size in
town. Those typographical grafters
are unworthy of the noble craft TO
which they belong. They pretended
30 be iobless on account of last years
strike. and unable to live with their
families on the money furnished by
the union.
During the noon hour, or about
closing or opening time, one of the
men would saunter into composing
room and put mp a hard luck story.
He had an o'd silverinc watch that he
wanted to ranle OFF If he could sell
twenty tickets at twenty-five cents
each. He usually managed to sell the
tickets.
About the time the drawing was TO
take place the confederate entered
and cheerfully took a chance and won
the watch without any difficulty.
Thus they had the watch and the s.
also. They would split the money,
and on the first convenient occasion
the raiie would be repeated at anoth-
er place. and by some trick known
only to themselves the drawing was
manipulated so that the confederate
always won the watch.
A south side woman recently had
500 rattle tickets printed to be sold
at ten cents each, the drawing TO be
on Thanksgiving Day for a grand
parlor clock" the proceeds TO be for
the benefit Of a poor widow" AS
the woman herself happens TO be
poor grass widow, and as the place Of
the drawing could not be learned,
neither could there be obtained
sight OF the clock, II Is not difficult to
guess the final destination of $50 for
which the tickets will be sold.
At many saloons and cigar stores
there is continuous rafle in pro-
gress for a fine gold watch" 1t is
well for those who buy chances TO in
spect the timepiece with a critical
eye. One of these watches was sub
mitted to a jeweler by the man who
won it. It's what we call an auction
watch" said the expert. "lt is worth
about eighty-seven cents wholesale.
The case is gided, and the works are
of less value than the movement of
saty-nine-cent alarm clock. II may
keep time until the brass begins to
show through the plate, and it may
not"
One of the most attractive forms
OF the rattle ticket game is valuing
the ticket at from one cent up to as
high as desired The man who buys
"A chance draws little envelope con
tanning his number. II he is lucky
and secures small number he is en-
couraged to try again. This is "A sort
