Moral Reflections Please Enslishmen.

One great mistake which most news
paper editors make is to believe that
the English have become so Ameri-
canized that what succeeds in the
United States Will be successful here.
The English in many circumstances
are altogether unchanged, and still
like much which their predecessors
were fond of. A newspaper now has
to be read in a hurry and in motion,
and, therefore, clear descriptive head
lines, large print and short paragraphs
are popular. But for quiet reading
the English public still like the same
kind Of matter which pleased their
predecessors; useful information,
moral reflections, and short stories.-

THE ROAD TO FARMLAND.
The day is dun and dreary.

The day r. dull and dreary,
And chilly Winds and eerte
are sweep ig through the tall oak trees WI

They send the dead leaves flying,
And with n mournful crying
They dash the western window panes OF

My little 'Trude and Teddy,
Come quickly and make ready
Take down from of the highest shelf the An
book you think so grand.
Well travel off together
To lands of golden weather,
For well we know the winding road that Bu
leads to Fairy Land
A long, long road, no bywny
= The fairy kings broad highway
sometimes We'll see castled Hill stand To
up against the blue.
And every brock that passes,
A-whispering through the grasses,
ls Just n magic fountain filled with youth An
and health for you:
And we'll meet fair prlncesses

Some pacing by on palfrcys white, some Yoi
humbly tending sheep;
And merchants homeward faring
With goods beyond comparing,
And in the hills are robber bands WIN To
dwell In caverns deep.

Around a mountain bending.

Live Woodmen, to whose dwelling
Come wicked witches. telling
wondrous gifts OF golden wealth.
There. too, are lonely mines.
But busy gnomes have found them,
And all night work around them,

There waterfalls are splashing,
And down the rocks are dashing,
we can hear the sprites' clear call
above the torrents roar,
Where quiet rivers glisten
Well sometimes stop and listen
tales n gray old hermit tells, or wan
dering minstrefs song.
Well loiter by the ferries,
And pluck the wnysidc berries,
watch the gallant knights spur by
in haste to right n wrong

Woman Officer to See That Unattend-
ed Girls Are Not Molested.

Seattle, Wash. June THAT wom-
en- visitors to the Alaska Yukon Pa
cific exposition may be free from prof
.fered insults Of the 'masher'' class,
the Womens Christian Temperance
Union has appointed one Of its mem
bers to the Office Of policeman.
Miss Mary Brown, has been Sc
lected for the position, and will be
ably assisted BY other members when
occasion requires. Miss Browns Of
fee will be in a booth in the east
gallery of the Manufacturers build
ing, and in this will be an exhibit
demonstrating the purposes and
workings Of the society. Miss Browns
duties will require her presence on
the grounds much Of the time. but
the booth will always be in charge
Of some competent person, and every
thing possible will be done to pre-
vent and punish any one attempting
to force attention on unattended
women. 81
The office of police woman will be
assisted by the regular police force
Of the exposition, and MASKING" in
any form will be severely dealt with.
Miss Brown is at present touring
the state and during a course of Tect-
ures will impress upon mothers the
Importance Of permitting daughters
to attend the exposition. 1t is con-
fidently expected that this branch of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union will result in a vast amount
Of good being accomplished, and
every effort will be made to keep the

tirely free from many of the I'M

To work out and put into practice
such a course would require few ma!
terials other than the children can
themselves bring from home. With
some one to direct the work. and with
two or three hours to devote to It
each week-it appears that we may
place this course Of Manual Train
ing in our grammar grades at very
little expense; and every individual
effort will help to uplift the whole
school.
It is sincerely hoped that some one
or many, having at heart the better
ment Of our schools, may put serious
thought upon this subject, that that
thought may be carried into action,
and that the coming year may find
in our schools from the first to the
eighth grades, . thorough and practi-
cal course Of Manual Training.

HEROES IN TURKEY.

Humanity instinctively pays trib-
ute to the hero. When Lieut.. Shack
Teton comes nearer to the South pole
than any other explorer, when DR..
Grenfell fights death In three forms
on the ice foes Of Labrador, when a
railroad engineer saves the lives Of
his passengers, at the risk of his own,
or a fireman plunges into a burning
building regardless of consequences
to himself, all the world applauds,
and justly. A modern writer says
that Paul's heroisms have done more
to popularize him than his theology.
Perhaps the stories Of splendid cour-
age that are coming to us just now
from Paups old home in Tarsus, and
the neighboring region, may popular
lie the work Of foreign missions.
