A Tribute.How memory at this time recalls

kind acts and noble deeds of departedloved ones, how the memorable gloryof a dying mother, father, relative, orfriend awakens and rekindlesvotion for them. How we cherishtheir virtues and adorn their_.Jjveswith tond recellections. How sad-dened hearts beat in unison wken thechord of affliction is touched by thehand of death, and yet occasions likethis, .serve to teach us that "deathneithers fears the mighty nor respectsthe lowly." Kingly powers andPrincely honors must yield to thisdread messenger who respects "neith-er the beauties of youth the strengthof manhood nor the majesty of age."

In the morning, noonday, and even-tide of life this inexorable reaper stalksabout and with an unrelenting handstrikes down the innocent, the reveredfhe wortTTy\ The"tears of sorrow andthe pleadings of affection he heedsnot; the exultant heart of to-dav thatillumines the home and makes it theblessed haven from the weary toils oflife ceases its throbbing tomorrow.

Before this resistless power all muetbow, for heavens demand must be ful-filled. How truly can it be said:

The glories of pur blood and stateArc shadows, not Mihstantial things,

The school at this place had beenmaking some arrangements to cele-brate Apr. 30 but on account of sick-ness the exercises were postponed. un<-til May 8th, in the afternoon. Earlyafter dinner several who were interest-ed in the exercises could be found ontheir way to the school-house in orderto be present all through. At about 2o'clock the school was called to orderand a very interesting program wasrendered, consisting of song and reci-tations. Althongh the room is verylarge and there were a great manysmall scholars present we could nothelp notice that extra i/ood order waskept and the same must be the ruleduring regular school hours.

The exercises wer« opened by thesinging of a Song of Dedicationwhich was sung by all who bad learnedthe music, and was very appropiatefor the occasion. A class from .theIntermediatff*fifth grade then inarchedin regular order to the platform andat a word from their teacher, MissFranc Burcli, recited in concert alenghty piece in a manner that showedthey had had some training. Withthe exception of change of voire, theyspoke nearly as one. After speakingin concert they each come to the frontof the platform; and spoke a : shortpiecewhichwere-all-very appropiate.

Following the fifth grade came sev-eral selections from different membersof the Grammer room, which werewell rendered and done justice both toteacher and scholar. It would be toolenghty to give the names and titlesof the pieces rendered.

The Intermediate fourth grade fol-lowed with a piece in toncert and ren-dered it finely.

Pictures and drawings ofthe buildings uud site were displayed andexplained, whereby it wus shown that thecollection, grouping and magnitude of thebuildings to contain the fair were never be-fore approached. Senator Palmer read astatement of the collective items of ex-penditure needed to muko a proper showingfor the state. It aggregates $300,000.Hon. Bon. Butterworth, the secretary ofthe world's lair, spoke also at considerablelength upon the importance of having thestate and the whole country well represent-ed. His remarks were well received. Dur-ing the course of his speech Gov. Winausentered the hall. Capt. W. A. Gavott alsospoke to the same genera} subject, and wasfollowed by Alfred Russell of Detroit. Themeeting closed shortly before 11 o'clock. Itapparently had an excellent effect in mak-ing known to the legislature the importance jof the fair, and the benefits to be derived jby the people of Michigan from an inspec-tion of it, and a good exhibit of the com-modities of this great state.

Dr.Rockwell of Herrien made a very eloquentspeech in favor of the bill. Tho vote wastaken under a call of tho house, and ActingSpeaker Richardson ruling that a two-thirds vote was necessary, it failed ofpassage by ten votes.

Tho. appropriation for the uationalencampment of tho Grand Army of theRepublic to be held at Detroit nextAugust, continues to bo the subject ofconversation among members. Gov.Winaus, speaking of the subject, said,that in his opinion, it was devoting public \money to a private purpose, and thereforeimproper. He felt that, taxation wasalready so heavy thut the people justlycomplained. Somq things had alreadypassed the legislature involving expensewhich he felt to be a mistake, but ho hudnot interposed his official objection; still,feeling that he ought to save everythousand possible,—i-f- the appmpf-iation forthe Gram1.

Many petitions for and remonstrancesagainst Mr. Miner's bill amending tho lawin references to building and loan associa-tions are being received in the house.The opponents of tho bill make strongpoints against, the provision which author-izes tho .s'lbaoription ami payment for divi-dend stock as part of the capital of thoassociations, showing that it is iu %£e.ctestablishing loan and discount banks to bemanaged and run as everyday regularbanking, without any liability for taxa-tion.

A MAIDEN FAIR.BY CHARLES GIBBON.

CIIArTKR I.A FRESH BREEZE.

A prey day that would have been d«U any-where but by the sea. A strong' breezeblowing and the grey and blue waters leap-Ing Into white combs and points. A ltndjj-man would have called it a gale, but to fish-erf oik It waa only "a wee thin;? fresh." Thogrey old houses, with their red and brownroof8, looking out on the harbor, would alsohave appeared dull and dirty but for theirpicturesquely Irregular gables and heights.Then the busy figured of the fishwives intheir bright-colored petticoats and "ahort-gowns" (long jackets); the lounging groupsof the fishermen, and, above all, the bustleIn tha harbor and on Its walls which pro-jected out into the Forth, gave life to tho•cene in harmony with the atrong breezetad tha leaping •"•**>».I Out on the f artfc.«t point of the grey wallsa group of men and women, with the sprayflashing over them and the keen wind bitingtheir cheeks, stood watching a smack whichwas tacking to make the port.j "Will she win in, think you?" asks one.

"Safe enough—Bob Kuas Is steering," con-fidently answers a little weather-wlzeued-faced old man, by name Dick Baxter.

Bob Itoss had seen a smack capsize andwith five trusty comrades had put off to therescue.

"It was a daftllke thing for Bob to thinkbe could be out In time to help them."

"It was worth trying," said Baxter drily.Suddenly the prow of the bout is turned

towards the opening in the walls and comesBtraight and swiftly along, crosses the- bar,down goes the sail, and boat aud men are•afe in haven.

There was no cheer although brave workhad been doW; but~nft eager inspection ofthe boat to see who waa ia it.

"They hae gotten them a' but Jock Tanvson," said Baxter in a matter-of-fact tone,the circumstance being of too ordinary anature to call for much feeling; "puir sowl,he's gsu»n."

"My man, my man," cried a woman, rush-Ing down the steps to the boat, "whar's he?1'

There was no answer and the woman un-derstood. She bowed her head, covered herface with her hands and was silent. Thena couple of burly women, with broad shoul-ders and muscular hands, took each an armof the mourner.

"Come awa hame, Jeanie," said<one,quiet-ly, and the voice was tender although thenotes were harsh—"ye'll he better there."

And they led the widow home.Bob Ross was the first out of the boat,

helping one of the thres men who had beensaved to land. The others followed, andwere first assisted to a much-needed dramand then to their houses. The crew pro-ceeded to the inn, accompanied by a num-ber of friends eager to obtain more detailsof the rescue than had been given in thehurried answers to the crowd in the haven.

Ross dki not accompany them, lie gavehis stalwart fra:ue a shake, like a hugeNewfoundland dog after coming out of thewater, and that contented him. He was aman of about thirty, a handsome fellow,tall and sinewy, dressed in a pilot jacket,an<i boots over hi3 trousers.

His face was tanned by' exposure to thoweather, the features good, and the cleargrey eyes which looked straight at any manbespoke an honest, opoii, and fearless na-ture. He had begun life in his father's fish-Ing smack; Imt whilst atvfays ready to dohis duty in the boat, he had continued toattend school more than the other lads ofthe village, and to make more of what holearned there. The dominie took an inter-est in him and helped him to learn naviga-tion as far as It was in that worthy man'spower to do it. But his real knowledge wasgained by practical experience in his fath-f r'g uyn:><'ir fit>, bv the time he was twenty-two he was said to know the road from"Newluiven to John o' Groat's—ay, or fromNew-haven to Yarmouth—better than anypilot in L<Hth. Hu obtained his license andbecame a recognized pilot. lie soon earnedft high reputation as a trusty, steady, andskilful man. But ho still retained his in-terest in.the smack, and when occasion per-mitted wont out to tha fishing with as muchglee as of old. -;

After he had seen tho rescued men safeIn their homes, he turned on the way to hisown. Dick Baxter met him. He was afavorite of Dick's, and that was an honor;for Dick >vas a person of importance In theriling*. An accident thirty years a«?o haddisabled him from following his craft as afisherman; but he eked out a living by do-ing odd Jobs at the harbor and by the tipshe obtained from sightseers for Information•bout the place and people. This he gavawith the air of a proprietor showing his placeto his guests. Amongst nsherfolk he ob-talned^the reputatTon of being a wise man.lie was a pawky one, giving advice in a•low, learned way that impressed the simplealthough clever people. He pronounced asauthoritatively on tho position of currentpolitics as on religious affairs and "theweather. In short he was an authority inthe land notwithstanding the chaff whichhe had sometimes to endure from the young:er meruj

In/hls scaly old blue Jersey and corduroytrousers, and with his thin brown wizenedface, he was always at his post and kneweverybody's affairs,

"I was on the look-oot for you, Bob. Hoodid you manage? Itwusweeldoneonyway.1*

"We were just in time—poor Thomsonhad gone and the other three were just drop-ping off the keel. But you see we got them,and that's tlL"

"Ay, but it wns weel done, and there'llbe a paragraph in the Socitsman about youthe-morn."

"Well, it'll do nae harm," answered Ross,laughing.

"Is that a' y«u think o't? Man, I'd jrieonythinjr to hae them speak aboot me inprint 1 But be that as't may, wha do youthink is here?". "Aloutoo'f folk."

"J 1st that, Jist that; but I was thinkingyou would like to ken that Jwms" (pro-nounced with the t short) "is here."

"To seenls mother, I suppose, and gettome more of her siller."

"J 1st that, an' speaking1 that fine EnglishI could hardly understan' him. But I thoughtyou would like to ken, for he'g come to seeaomeane forbye his mlther."

That was what Dick Baxter had been-to-tell, *i.d ka enjoyed the look on

Bob Boss's face—a comical attempt to hidethe fact that the news disturbed him.

"But what can that matter to me, Dick? Isuppose he is free to go wherever he is wei-couie like other folk."

"Nae doot, and it's j 1st as you tak* It. ButIf 1 waa in your place, I'd be there aforehim."

"Where, man, where?""As though you didna ken!" exHaimed

Dick slyly, "llows'ever, you'll ken tinewhen'I tell you that I saw her yestreen andshe was speerin' for you, and there WUH »braw laugh on her face when I said you wasto be here the-day."

"Thank you, Dick," said Ross with evi-dence anuoyauce; "but I wish you wouldna'meddle."

"I didna' ken afore tha t it was ony harmto do a frien'a guid turn," answered DickBaxter in his most dignified way.

"Ho harm—1 hope.""I didna say onythinjj by ordinar," said

Dick a little sulkily, and yet with a desireto reassure HOBS, seeing him so much putout. Hut the "by ordinar" must have hadan extensive range indeed in his mind,sincehe had been praising his young friend with-out stint to Annie Murray, the only child ofCaptain Duncan Murray, who was soleowner of Anchor Cottage and the MeiinaUlsteamer. "And she didna take it that ill,"added Dick pawkily.

"Then it's all right."And Ross laughed again as he went his

way, and that way was to Anchor Cottage.He had been sent for by Captain Duncan ona matter of business. But the business wasnot in Bob Ross's mind as he walked rapid-ly along with head bowed against the wind,the spray dashing ovor the parapet, and thesun slowly beginning to make its waythrough the mist.

"I wonder can it be true! Was she think-ing o' me? Maybe, maybe, for she's no up-setting like other las.sies I ken o'—but whathavers is this? The captain is friendly andkindly; but he is proud o'his daughter,proud o' his steamer, and proud o' his siller—he would never hear o't when there's achiel like Car gill hanging about waiting foiher."

At this thought he stopped, teoth closedand feet went down harder and faster outhe ground. Again—

"But why 6hould he not think of his ownearly days and count my chances as g\M ashis were?" ^

Here a faint smile of hope crossed hisface; but the smile faded into a troubledlook.

"I'm thinking he would do it, tno, if Car-wereua here with his fineries and his

siller that he had no hand in making. . . . .Puir auid Bell Cargill—it was a pity youspent your life in hoarding up your bawbeesfor a loon that's more than half-ashamed tocall you liis mother before his fine friends—ugh! Lord forgie me for thae hardthoughts. If Annie likes him let him haeher."

• The healthy nature of the man roseagainst this envious spirit which had for amoment taken possession of.him. He liftedhis head and looked Fate steadily in thefare, She should take him for his own sakeor hfi-.woaild-i'e--eu. let the boiinielass gang*"-

It was a relief to the man to feel this bet-ter mood "upon him before he reached thecottage, for he knew that usly thoughtsmake ugly fac;\s. It wtts a relief, toar thattho suit had scattered the mist aud brighten-ed everything.

ciiATI1 Kit n . -ANVIIOK COTTAGE

The cottage stood on the high groundoverlooking tho Firth. It was a square com-fortable-looking building of one story, builtof brown stone and slated.1 The only pieceof ojiKumuitalion about tho building was aporch. It stood in a piece of ground whichwas also square and planted' with thingsuseful—vegetables, fruit-trw-s, and berry-bushes. There were a few plots of flowersand some rose-bu-hes. hut these things -be-ing merely beautiful were kept well withinbound*. Xe TfTTeTe"ssTn"tFTVto]U hurt vcusy

torn the conversation might take—and he 'was aware of it.

k But he tried to detain her by the assur-ance that he was in no hurry and would rath-er wait until the captain was quite free.With a smiling shake of the head, she tookup her basket of fruit and went towards thehouse. A tall, winsome figure, in neatsimple dress; aud as she- crossed tha greenher ricli fair hair glistened in tiie sunlight

appearance and was attractive on that ac-count.

The ctiptain had been brought up to re-gard utility as the first consideration in life;and the only bit of fancy he had permitted1

himself when thfl grounds were laid out,was to placo an old anchor in tho center ofthe patch of grass, called tho i?reen. Thisanchor had one of its points stuck firmly inthe ground as if-it were holding the wholeplace steady.

"That auld anchor, sir," the captain would.«ay to any visitor, "saved the Mermaidoncowhen she was being blown out of the roadsby one of the clartie-t storms I have everbeen In. The Mermaid of that time was abit cutter you maun ken. And when I soldthe cutter and got the steamer I broughtthat anchor here and I'm proud o' it—raelproud—and so I named the houso after it."

As-soon as Hoss-passed through the gatehe I)a 11ed,_hejutatnig..whether to go straightto the door or cross the green towards thelass ho saw amongst the berry-bushes busygathering fruit. His heart's impulse had it*way, and ho went towards her.

As the gate closed behind him with afclang-ft-frank sun-browned face looked upfrom amongst the bushes and recognizedhim with a pleasant smile. He thought thatsmile as bright as the sunshine itself.

*'Glad to see you1 Mr. I loss." she said in ajlch cheery voioe. "Father has been ex-pecting you, but there is somebody withhim just now."

How cordially Bob Ross thanked that"somebody," and how earnestly he prayedthat the "somebody" might stay long.

"I could not come so early as Iwas mean*Ing to do, and I'm no exactly sorry."

"How is that?""You are here.**She lookeaVas if she enjoyed, or at any

But Annie was a bright specimen of wo-man nature—kind and generous, bonnieandbrave. The man who won her would befortunate indeed, for he would possess thatgreatest of all blessings, a faithful helpmatein all that concerns daily life—tender in hissorrow, blithe in hia gladness, and patientof his errors.

All this and more Ross thought, and itrendered the possibility of her becoming theprize of James Cargill the more bitter. Hetried to make allowance for his''own feel-ings in regard to Annie and the influencethey had upon his opinion of the man. Butwhen all allowance was made he could nutbelieve that Cargill was likely to make heror any woman happy.

The captain's daughter was as famous asthe captain himself; for aWwmjh she couldplay.the "pianny," aud was reported to beable to sppak French "as well as the Trenchthemselves" {such a smattering of the lan-guage as any schooi-girl might possesswould suffice for this report), she was herfather's clerk and purser, besides being hishousekeeper. She accompanied him on allhis voyages, and in the wildest storm wasas eoul as the oldest seaman on board.

When the Mermaid was in straits shewould stand by iier father's side—her sailorhat and the pea-jacket over her ordinarydress giving her tall figure a somewhat man-ly appearance—ready to obey him in any-thing he might command.

And throughout this rough life she pre-served the gentlest characteristics of1'wo-manhood. When at home in the cottage nostranger would have suspected that thequiet-looking lass with the. merry smile waaaccustomed to such stern experiences.

The Mermaid was a small steamer whichDuncan Murray had purchased a bargain.Then, having sold his cutter, he employedthe steamer to considerable advantage incarrying goods along the coast, or to where^ever he might obtain a cargo. By this meanshe had made a good deal of money—a bigfortune his friends considered it—some ofwhich was prudently invested in houseproperty.

He might have retired and lived comfort-ably on his income. But he would not dothat; he only became more particular abouthis cargoes and about his rates of freightLikewise, he would' now employ a -pilotmore frequently than had been his custom,In order to give himself more ease on board.

Often he had beea heard to declare withan emphatic oath that he would never partwith the Mermaid or ills daughter "asas they could huud thegither." —

An eminent writer once said:"Those who do not plant corn sow

He is probablywhetting up his knife for someother victim.

People go to the two extremeswhen.speaking of newspaper workviz., That it does not cost any-

are said nowadays tarepresent greed and nothing more.This is probably duo tc the fact thattho gz-eody man as a iti!e has a kirgecorporation.

THEKK is a good deal of caloric aboutthe human body. Ono of the interest-ing facts of physiology is that the hu-man body generates enough heat dur-ing the day to melt forty-four pound*of ice and raise it to the boiling point.Of course, this rule has its exceptions.

AN Englibhman, in a letter relatingto a deceased friend, has this to say oldrinking as a tine art: "The secret isnever to attempt it in conjunction withany other career you may have inview. If you propose to make it youi•whole existence, it is wonderful how6hort and useless your life may be at avery small expense.11

THE secret of political power is pop-ularly supposed to bo lodged in merenumbers. The supremacy of the ma-jority is, perhaps, at prosont the onlyavailable basis of a constitutional gov-

ernment, but no thoughtful man will/fail to recognize tho peril of intrustingtho de-cision of political questions t<jpolitical ignorance.

TyE fatty degeneration of intellectualtissue that comos from wealth is re-sponsible for more paralysis of geniusthan all the poverty that has existedsince the beginning of the world. Thisbread-and-butter impulse can bo cred-ited with tho production of most of thework of genius in literature and thearts and not a little of it in the field ofthe world's conspicuous action.

The Boston Globe desires to remindthe pooplo of tho United States thattwenty-seven foreigners own an areaof land in this country larger than thewhole of Ireland; that our governmenthas given 175,000, (X)0 acros of land t

railroad corporations; .thaLaJand. sy.n .dicate in Texas got 3, 000,000 acres ofland for building the state capitol atAustin; and that,as a consequence, ournational domain is not as "boufidlesb"'as it was.

STATISTICS of European marin-olosses and accidents show that, aftermaking every allowance for the ex-ceptionally large marine of (ireatBritain, its losses are altogether ab-normal. Neither is . i t creditable toKnylish commercial morality to haveit said that many ship-owners do nothe-sitate to send unsafe ships to sea.

READING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

One Small Man'sPlan--Why a YouthResolved to Make Money —A LittleGirls Diary In the East.

One Small Man's Plan. «Tho "blue-line'' street-car stopped

at the corner, ami a rather anxious-looking young woman put a small boyinside.

"Now, Kob."she said, as she hurriedout t o the platform again, "don't

1 lose tha t note 1 gave- you; don't takeit out of your pocket at nil,"

"No'm," said the little man, lookingwistfully after his mother as the con-ductor pulled the strap. 1 ho driver un-screwed his brake, and the horses,shaking their bells, trotted oil withthe ear.

"What 's your name, Huh?'' asked amischievous looking yuuiy man sit-ting beside him.

"Robert Cullen 1 Veins," he answered,politely.

"Where are you going?""To my grandma's."

! "Let me see tha t n o t e in y o u rpoeket." *

The look of innocent surprise in thei round face outfit to have shamed thoI baby's tormentor, but he only said• again. "1 ,et me see it ."

"I tan ' t , " said Kobert Cullen Deems.! "See here, if you don't, I'll scare thej horses and make them run away,"The little boy cast an apprehensivelook at the belled horses, but shookhis head.

"Here. Hub, ['11 give you this peachif you pull t hat note half-way out ofyour pocket." .

The boy did not reply, but some of' tin1 oKier people looked angry.! "1 say, chum, I'll give you this wholebag of peaches rf you just show me thecorner of your note," said the tempt-er. The cliild turned away, us if he,did not wish to hear^ any more, butthe young man opened the bag, andheld it out just where he could see andsmell the iusciouyir-tB&v —

Ingenious and Original Device of a ThriftyTavoma Woman.

Mrs. Hannah Dobor, the mother offive little Dobers, has invented themost unique toilet apparatus on record,says the Tae.oma News. It la a ma-chine t^hat bathoH, rinses, drips anddries the entire. Oobor brood simultane-ously by the simple turning of a crank.

The Dobers live on tho water front,near the old salmon cannery, back ofOld Town. Like many ofNJie housesin that vicinity the homo of u^o Dobert*is built on piles. At high tido^ho backporeh of this humble homo extendsover the water, and this fact was fa-vorable to the _ idea which MotherDobor had worn concealed in her mindfor some time. With the assistance ofher husband, tho enterprising butoverworked woman cut a hole in theflooring of tho back porch about fourfeet square, and then built a windlasslike those in uso on old-fashioned wellcurbs. Then sho got a quantity ofstout wire gau/.o or screens and madea crato or basket that would oasilyslip through tho hole in tho iloor. Thisbasket, which was about three feetdeep, was hung in slings fastened atthe four cornel's and then attached tothe drum of tho windlass. Tho babywasher was now complete and readyto be put in operation.

Bright and early every morning thefive little Dobers are hustled out ofbed, tho eldest, a girl of nine, thoughsmall for her age, is an extremelyhandy young miss and a great help toher mother. She peols tho nighties oft"her little brothers and sisters, likewiseher own, ami loads thorn into tho wire-basket. Next she throws in a handfulof wafered soap and then joins tho littloband of candidates for immersion.When everything is ready MotherDobor, who has been attending to her.household duties in the meantime,comes out and mans the windlass crank.She lowers her happy littlo flock downinto the clear, cold water and givesthem a thorough dousing by workingtho crank backward, and forward. Thismovement and the commotion made in.the basket by tho children produces alather from tho soap and cleanses thekids in a mannerequal, if not superior,to the regulation hand bath.

Unlike most children, who "kick andraise a fuss when being scrubbed, tholittle Dobers actually enjoy their matu-tinal plunge bath.

' it is de.sirab'.e that everycompetent voter should be required tovote in all public elections. The ad-visability of adopting and enforcing alaw to that end is debatable for the rea-son that such a law would force uponthe minority of penee'ul well con-ducted citizens the surrender of a con-Btitutionally guaranteed liberty of ac-tion. If voting were mude a conditionof citizenship under the Republic state ;legislation could specilically deh'ne thoobligations of citizens under that gen-eral requirement. As it is now, votingis a privilege, not a contract, a moral ;duty, perhaps, but not a legal obliga- !tion; and it is extremely doubtful ifany state legislation can tranfrfer itfrom the one thing into the other.

A Sort of Indefinite PromissoryNote and a Bottle of Hair Tonic.Last spring, says the Albany Jour-

nal, whon one of the younger niinisLorsof the city wua devising ways andmeans for ix summer- vacation trip,there was a ring at the door-betl anda caller upon the minister announced.The stranger introduced himself, ex-plaining that hu was recently fromUuifalo, but now of Albany, and attalesman of barbers' supplies. Withvery few introductory words the gen-tleman asked the minister to preformthe marriage ceremony for him in twoweek's time. Promptly at the hourappointed the couple came. An oilicerof the church had been invited in towitness tin; ceremony. While the nec-essary papers were being filled out thegroom opened a small traveling bagand produced a half-pint bottle withglass stopper. "There," said he,placing the bottle on the minister'sdesk, "1 leave this with you as i to-ken." Then the marriage ceremonywas performed, congratulations of-fered, and the certificate placed in thehand of the bride. As the happycouple were leaving the study thegroom drew from his pocket an envel-ope and handed it to the minister. Afew minutes later the envelope wasopened and the following found: "Al-bany, May 19—i will call on you onSaturday Night and Pay you my feawhat you may ask." Many Saturdaynights have come nnd gone since then,but the enthusiastic salesman of bar-ber's supplies has not been seen by theminister, but he still ha,s the bottle.

Two Curiosities,There is a curious legend regarding

an altar in a little church in the ViUlage of St. Hilary, on the Island ofAnglesea. The central panel of theoak support of this altar has been lostfor many years—so long, in fact, thatnot even the "oldest inhabitant" cangive the date of its disappearance.The opening is hardly a foot wide andthe altar itself is also very diminutive,not exceeding sixteen inches in width.The belief is that any one who can getin under the altar through this open-ing, turn around and come out willthus gain a twelve months'lease of life.So many persons having implicit faithin this superstition have endeavouredthus to lengthen their days that theunder side of the altar has becomehighly polished by the contact of theirheads and shoulders.

Another curiosity jn the samechurch is a pair of peculiarly-shapedtongs or pinchers, oTi|wliicli|are^iiysdrib-ed the name of the churchwardens,together with the dates at which theyserved. These show that this articleof furniture was in use upward of 200years ago. It was employed to catchdogs who inadvertently strayed intothe churehrduring service, and as it iavery large and stoutly made wascapable of giving thtrunfortunate can-ines a severe pinch which they we'renot at all li-kely to forget in a hurry.

-have btt-ii n vury edify in.uspectacle to see a pompons church-warden capturing a dog in this mannerand conveying him at arm's lengthdown the aisle until he reached thedoor, where his dogship was uncere-moniously tossed one to reflect on hisaudacity in thus disturbing the sanc-tityof the chapel.

Early Journalism in IndiaiAn important movement in India in

the latter half of the "18th centurywas the founding of the periodicalpi ess. The first newspaper establishedin India was ''Hicky'sGazette," whichbegan its history on Jan. 29, 1780,and soon took its place as an organfor the representation of the largoAnglo-Indian colony in Calcutta. Thofreedom with winch it discussed socialtopics made it a great power."Hicky's Gazette" was the parent ofa large number of newspapers andperiodicals, net only in Calcutta, butin other parts of India. These period-icals, which had grown into a very re-spectable number by the year 1830.became the medium by which youngEnglishmen of liteyary tastes maclotheir acquaintnwee with the public.The Calcutta "/Literary Gazette," es-tablished abom; 1835, and edited byP. S. Richardson \va"s ably conducted.The editor himself became known inEurope as the author of-"..LiteraryLeaves," "Home Visions," "TheOcean Sketches" and the "Selectionsfrom the English Poets." Maoaulay,during his residence in Calcutta, wasso pleased with his last work that hedrafted a plan for a similar book ofselections from tho British prose writ-ers, but never completed this under-taking. The "Hengal Annual," of1833, was a great favorite with ambi-tious young Anglo-Indians. It had alist of fifty contributors, and thereseemed to be no end to the enterpriseand daring of those young and a:/!ir/ing tyros of literature in ths far-offland of their adoption—From "Eng-lish Writers in India," by th$ Rev.John F.

MY STOCK Of DOUBLE AND SINGLE HARNESSESis first-class hand made work. J do not deal in Mpchinc made or Shodyharnessrs. Only a slight diftieroncc itv'the cost.

So go and get the standard goods sold atthe very lowest bottom prices, at the Agricultural Hall and you'will alwayssave Money.
