She closed the school, went home and swallowed a dose of mor phine. How such a story makes ft man's hand itch to jtet among those hoys with a stout switch! It is undeniable that a group of rebellions boys of fourteen or fifteen years of age nro little better than a hand of savages. In most schools in cities, thero nre men nlmtit the building, hut in some country places, where thero is otdy a woman to conduct a school, she has a hard time of it. This poor girl in Canada told her piti ful story in tho few words she hart crawled before swallowing the poison: "I Bin tired trying to teach bail lioys." What a pity she had not some brother or lover to go to her assistance and thrash tho young blackguards within an inch of their lives.

There is a popular delusion that a three day storm is inevitable nt nlxiut this time of the year, and also when the "sun crosses the line" iilMiut the 31st of March. The unsettled state of the weather at almttt this time, as well as nt the time of the vernal equinox, is al ways sjiokeii of as "tho equinoctial torm." Mow the fucta are the equinox has little or nothing to do with these storms; and, excepting that the weather is in a general unsettled condition, caused by the changes that are taking place in the atmosphere, there is no more sense in expecting a series of storms at the time the sun "crosses the line" than nt nny other season of the year. Meteorolo gists and weather exports in general, who have worked for years to uproot this popular fallacy, doserve the great est credits in fact, there is hardly a standard by which we can measure our indebtedness to these men who work untiringly to discover and root out pop ular errors and establish scientific truths in their places. St. Louis Republic. A Handy Rummer Girl. Judge C. G. Butt enjoys the nice dis tinction of which few men can boast Tlx., that of being rescued from what was at least a remotely possible watery grave. While out bathing on Ortnond beach with two Orlando young ladies Wednesday afternoon he was seized with an adventurous fit, disengaged himself from their hold upon him and went out into the surf beyond his depth. After vainly endeavoring to regain the shal lows he yelled for assistance and Miss Maggie Fitto, who is more than his equal in height as well as in many oth-r respects, boldly waded out and towed the judge to the shore. Beyond being externally and internally saturated with salt water ho suffered no Inconvenience. Miss Fitts should be attached to the life saving service. Orlando (Flo. ) Reporter. Soma Bright Old Men.

MacMahon is a year older than Y.r. Gladstone, and has also written his memoirs.
