Dr. G. T. Moore, late of Dartmouth college, has become the government Ugologist It is not so slangy an offls<e as It sounds. An algologlst is an expert on alga*, or seaweeds.

It has been decided to abandon the teaching of vertical penmanship in the public schools of New York City, but this does not imply that the formation of upright characters is to be any less sedulously sought by tho teach-

This is the way the case was put by. Judge Danforth. of the Maine supreme court, in speaking of a convicted bank cashier: "I wish that the law permitted me to send with the accused every one nf the bank directors who, through a long term of years, expected >xu to do rour-a|prk, live respectably, bring up a lar^i family and be honest—ail on a salary of *600 a year."

The Norwelgian women have Induced the government to sanction a new marriage ritual. The present ritual, dating from 1889, baa created much dissatisfaction, as it contains the .words: "The woman must be subordinate to her husband." 'To end the controversy the government has now sanctioned an alternative ritual, which the woman can choose, in which the words "is not" are Inserted' instead of "must be.”' So far no opposition "an the part ofdhe men has been heard, •anything to preserve peace” evidently befqg their maxim in this case. Kindness and consideration play a most important and salutary part In the upbringing of children, reflects the 'Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. The littel ones brought op In an atmosphere of kindness are much more ily governed than those living in other surroundings. Kindness begets content, cheerfulness, trustfulness and confidence: Unkindnlbs invitee revolt. Ill-will, fretfulness, hostility and deceit. Permanent impressions Of good or ijr are left on the character of children by the treatment they receive at the hands of those having their training In charge. Parents and. educators cannot be too careful in / keeping this obvious, truth constaktiy s to view. No one. even in the most advanced years, forgets the kindnesses received'in youth. The mother's gen- - tie ^persuasion, the father’s kindly counsel, the teacher’s friendly Interest are remembered till the very last hour of Ufe and form one of the brightest of memory's dearest treasures.

Dr. Jotlah Oldfield, author of a new book on "The Death Penalty.” says that be wrote to all the Blahops of the Church of England for their opinions on the subject, and not one of them Savored the abolition of capital punishment. The English clergy's opinion in this matter is certainly inline with that of the mass of Englishmen. Their opinion Is no doubt strengthened by their observation of the results of abolishing the death penalty In other countries, wholly, as' in Italy, or partially, as In the United States. Italy leads all nations in the cumber of Its homicides. In the United States the results of a neat proacb to the abolition of the death penalty are seen in our historical statistics. .No less than 19.712 persons were capitally punished In the United States by private executioneri from. 1896 to 1800 inclusive. .In ihe fame, five years the law capitally punished wnly '579 of these nearly ,40.000 believers in the death penalty—excapt for themselves.

"Let us have war with England, if Is be." said the most of Ihe people of Northern Stales in 1SC1. when Mason

Slidell, the distinguished Southernera, had been taken by our navy from tbs British steamer Trent, and the English Government resented the act of our Govrrnment in slopping one of their skips. "Give up those prisoners," said Great Britain. "No," said the almost unanimous opinion ol the North, "do not give them up. Let us have war with England rather tnar. surrender them." Then William H. Seward, Secretary of Slate, laced one of the fiercest storms of public opinion ever seen in this or any other country. Seeing that the retention of these two men was of no importance to our country and that their retention would nut Great Britain and the United States into immediate conflict, said, "We give them up." They were given up. and through the resistance of popular clamor hy that one man a

world-wide calamity was averted. How many there are who give too much

TELEPHONE EAVESDROPPING.

How a Han Was Caught White Listening to His Neighbor*. It is a common falling of human nature to take too much interest in other people's affairs, and curiosity sbm'ctimes extends so far that one person will listen to a conversation between two others alien they are all on the same telephone line. The groaing Ufe of the telephone In the rural districts opens the way to a new form of eavesdropping. It is difficult to indulge In this practice without detection, however. "The Electrical Review” tells the following story: A man In Ohio baa been made by his neighbors to pay a fine of *25 for eavesdropping over the telephone. Some time ago the farmers- of a certain town organised a telephone company and installed their Instruments on the party principle, hy which arrangement all tbe bells on the circuit ring when a call is made. Aftar a while the subscribers became aware that some one listened to their telephonic conversations, and they determined to find out who the eavesdropper was. It was. however, entirely by accident that the culprit was discor££ed. One afternoon a week or two ago two of the farmera 'were talking over tbe line, when the unmistakable sound of a transmitter being removed from Its hook reached them. Instantly they ceased their conversation, and In the momentary silence that followed both distinctly heard the sharp, clear clime of a clock striking the hour. Tbe clock in queation bad a chime whose peculiar tone when struck was familiar to both men. who at once knew who the listener was.
