tempted to tlininh one yomiK rascal, and
some other Ihivs of his own kidney Hew
to his rescue and gave tho teacher n
black eye. 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. The life of a brave
girl, who had evidently tried hard to do
her duty, was too valuable to le sacri
ficed in such a cause. Pittsburg Uul

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.

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.

saving service. Orlando (Flo. ) Reporter.

It is remarkable how many great men
are still alive and active, though over
eighty years of age. Kossuth, who has
just celebrated his ninetieth year, is
busy with his memoirs, besides being
employed in preparing a collected edition
of his works. Leeseps is hale and hearty
at eighty-seven. MacMahon is a year
older than Y.r. Gladstone, and has also
written his memoirs. Pope Leo XIII is
eighty-three, and thongh rumors of his
ill health are constantly being circu
lated, he is still able to be one of the
busiest statesmen in Europe. Belgium
has a O.O.M. in the person of M. Frere
Orban, a veteran parliamentarian, who
has just entered his eighty-first year.
