"We are learning, ever Icnrnlug,
Tims our yctirs of life nie speni :
We nre yemiilng. ever yearning,
For the bliss of sweet conlenl i
Yet bow few have reully eurni'd
Right tosiiythtit they 'have learned. '
We are shaping nnd iidlusllne
Lives tlirougli which we merely plod,
While we should lie resting, trusting
In the promise of (lod:
Lives half wasted by our hurry,
Sliiidowed, shortened by our worry.
On their fiHid no thought bestowing,
'Fowls of air' their songs begin;
Lilies In their beamy growing,
Though they 'toll not' 'neither spin.'
Th("c rebuke us care unciiinlH'red,
While our very hairs are numbered.
Not some counterfeit presentment,
Serving but a feeble turn,
Hut i he grace of true contentment
He the lesson we shnll learn;
Curing most and mosl concerned
To say truly: I have learned."

SCHOOL NOTES.
The Alumni AsHisilutmn of the lleyri"
oldHvillo Public Schools met at tlio
mvt school building on Saturday after
onon lust and after adopting a consUta
Hon proceeded to perumnently organize
by electing tho followlngolllcors: Pres
ident, Thos. N. NofT; vlco president,
Miss Britta Butler; secretary, Eulalia
J'untz; troasuror, Mrs.Georgo W. Kline;
executive connriltteo, Thos. N. Neff,
"Britta Butler, ICulalia Pent?., Mrs. G.
W. Kllno and Prof. O. W. Ixinkord
Tho enrollment feo was flxod at 2.rio.
per capita. The meeting was adjourned
to moot on April 24, 181)7, In business
session.
Tickets for tho lecture course are bo-
ing rapidly guaranteed and the tickets
will bo ready for delivery by the severul
solicitors boob. Lot evorylxidy tnko
hold, as Prof. Lonkord will have the
best talont thnt can be secured and a
literary treat le In store for our people
Tho high school team played Mr.
Woodward's toot ball team on Saturday
last. The game was hotly contested
and ended with a victory for the high
school boys.
Hon. Henry Houch, Deputy State
Superintendent of Pa., paid our school
a visit on Tuosday of last week and gavo
the pupils an entertaining talk. He
was enthusiastic In his praises of our
new building and tho condition of the
schools.
"Bryant" raotuorlal exercises wore
appropriately observed in chapel this
morning by the pupils of the several
schools.
The orchestra held its first rehearsal
ob Saturday lost.
Why Is It?
That so many stores have growlers
attached?
That a man object to a public an
nouneemont of something that the
whole public knows he is doing?
That beat expands almost everything,
but contracts the attendance at a relig
ious service?
That some people's religion will only
last two weeks after a church revival?
That a man Is moasurod more by his
money than by his morals?
That men who fail In their own busi
ness always want to advise othors how
to succeed?
That many people who bollove in re
ligion will not work at it?
That so many young men of good
muscle and good brains lot their par
ents make a living for thorn?
That (he poor people think the rich
are happy, but they are badly mistaken.
Wedding Ceremonies.
Tho usage by which the priest, Join
ing tho hands of tho man and woman
after their consent to the innrringn,'
with such word as "Et ego vos cou-
Jniigo," etc., laid tho ends of his stole
ttpnn the hnnds so joined is ancient, but
was not universally followed. It is or
dered in some early Unman sncerdotnlla,
but disappeared from tho Iirninii ritnal
at or before the revision of Paul V. It
was, however, retained in tho local
books of many continental dioceses.
At Liege tho hands were bound to
gether with the ends of the stole, and tho
prnctlce was very possibly the same else
where, though I cmitidt at this moment
give another instance of this particular
detail. But it would seem that the usage
was not followed in England. I am
not aware of any trace of it in any an
cient English service book. Indeed the
ceremony with which it Is connected is
absent from most English books, prob
ably becnuso in the English forms of tho
service the joining of hands took place
at the time when the man and woman
gave their troth to one another. The
later joining of their hands by the
priest after the delivery of the ring was
Introduced into England in 1E49. It Is
a oeremony analogous to bat distinct
from that with which the action with
the stole is sometimes oon joined. Hence
it would appear that the use of that ac
tion in the marriage service of the
Church of England is of the nature of
innovation rather than of restoration,
and that the innovation is fonndod on a
mistake. Notes and (Queries.
Ife Got the Quarter.
Ho had deposited ills ticket in the box
on the down town station of the Sixth
avenue "L" road at Fiftieth street and
was counting his change in a search for
plugged dimes and nickels. A quarter
fell from his hnnds and rolled along the
platform tiutil it lodged under the raised
steps which form the edgo of the plat
form. There it lay in plain view, but as
unobtainable as the golden apples of
Hesperides. Tho loser was the picture
of rage.
"I don't care about the blamo coin,"
he wailed. "I'vo got 'em to burn, but
it jtiFt makes me mad to see that quar
ter tliero, nnd I oun't get it."
' Ulnimo a dime, mister," said a
messenger boy, "and 6 cents for ex

The mule ostrich hatches out the eggs,
looks after the brood, keeps his eyes
open for men, beasts aud birds, and
sounds a loud snorting, warning call
when lie sees an enemy. The brood,
when warned, fades out of sight. Each
chick squats motionless, its bead in the
sand, and its body so near in color to
that of the suud nnd scant herbage as to
deceive even an experienced .hunter.
Its. body looks like a gray desert bush,

In the American report of the com

lished at Washington, there is a most
thoroughgoing report on "Child Study,"

pages, In books and articles, shows how
much attention has been bestowed on
tho subject ill the United States. Dr.
Stanley Hill, president of a sisMcty for
this study, tells ns that in 1871) fonr
"kindergarteners" in Boston took some
children aside und endeavored to find
out tho contents of their minds, nod the
result was published in tho Priucotnn

Dr. Htunley Hill says: "Thirty-three
per cent of theso children on entering
school had never sccu a livo chicken; 61
per cent had never seen a robin ; 75 per

had never seen growing beans even in

on country life, and the city child
knows nothing, in the largo cities, of

John O'Oroat's IfnuM.
In tho reign of James IV of Scotland,
Joint O'Urnat and his two brothers,
Malcolm and Oavin, arrived at Oaith
ness nnd bought the estates of Warse
and Dugisby, situated ou tho northern
extremity of tho mainland of Scotland.
In time their family increased nntil
there wore eight households of the same
name. They lived us relatives and
neighbors in peace aud amity and held
yeurly reunions iu the original O'Grout
house. At last tho qnestion of precedence
arose among tho younger members, and
they disputed as to who should enter the
room first or sit nt the head of the table.
Old Johunio O'Urout wus made arbi
trutor of the dispute. He promised that
before the next meeting ho would settle
the matter to the satisfaction of all.
Accordingly he built an eight sided
bouse in which to bold the annual ban
aunt. This octagonal house was fitted
with a door aud a window on each side
and a round table in the center of the
room, so that tho head of each family
of the O'Uroats might enter by his own
door and then sit at a fable which was
practically mid actually without
"head. " John O'Oroat's bouse became
the best known building in Great Brit
ain. Its situ is now marked only by
