The Wingham Times, 1889-10-04, Page 7about whom ninny remarkable stories
are of course Ioltl. The author of
"Gleanings from Japan" writes in re-
gard to a visit there:
I found at Nikko a strange looking
picture of something which aright repre-
sent anything, from a fungus with a
hole in it to a figure of a plan drawn
by a child 2 years old. leaked my friend
what it Vitas.
"Oh, that is11ashiri dal Miojin."
"And what is Rashid dal Miojin?"
"It is a dried rat, a god."
"You do not mean to say that any mass
worships that?"
"Oh, yes, everybody about ere woo'.
ships it. Shodo, says the legend, had
made a companion of a rat, which ran
about with hint, and in case it should be
lost he tied a silk thread to its tail, When
Ile died the rat was lost, but many years
after the silk thread was found and
traced to a hole, inside which was found
the dried. rat."
"13ut you do not mean to tell me tha• t
any sensible man worships that?"
"You will find the landlord does," and
clapping his hands he asked the maid:
"Would you ask the landlord if he has
a Hashiri dal Miojin?"
Up came the landlord and took from
his bosom a neat, silk covered ease, in-
side which was the identical representa-
tion of a dried rat, and looking so used
as if Ile worshiped it every day of his
lite.—Youth's Companion.
The Spirit of Manual Training.
It is believed that the specific purpose
of education is to cultivate character, to
induce sound thinking and to make a
necessity of scientific inquiry. Its high-
est end is ethical. Of great value, but
secondary to its.supreme purpose, are the
skill and the information which would
be the natural result of such cultivation.
The aim of the school is to prepare for
completeness of life. The central thought
in its entire organization is always the
boy himself, and everything that is done,
every study that is taken up, every Influ-
ence that is brought to bear, has for its
sole purpose his development. In this
view of its proper function the school is
a purely educational institution, and is
industrial' only in making use of the
tools of industry to accomplish its chosen
purpose. The manual work, like the
work in science and literature, is simply
a means of development. It bears the
same relation to the process of education
that a railway train does to travel.
One may select slower modes of ap-
proach if he choose, in his delight at the
rapid transit, he must not confuse the
journey with the end for which the
journey is made. Those who hold this
view of manual training watch with
sincere regret any encroachment of that
spirit which places the inanimate prod -

The Buffalo Motet.
Tuesday night the women of Philadel-
pida slept but little; for there was an
enemy of theirs in the city that they
have long dreaded. The enemy was the
celebrated "buffalo moth," the destroyer
of carpets. Millions of these moths were
blown into Philadelphia by a favoring
wind. The Philadelphia Inquirer says
that "in a short time millions and mill-
ions of the little insects were holding
high carnival around the electric lights.
As fast as they'd rush into the strong
glare they would curl up and die. For
hours they fell in showers on the pave
tnents and pestered passers by. At Wan-
amaker's, between Eighth and Ninth
streets, where three large aro lights
make a brilliant glare, the atmosphere
was thick with the buffalo extermina-
tors, and the pavement carpeted so
thickly With their dead bodies that they
fairly crunched under the feet of pedes-
trians. It was like walking over a eoft
rug."
Welcoming a Son -in -Law.
One of Detroit's gilded youths Is soon
to be married to a pretty girl who is the
youngest of a family of six. When he.
offered himself to the girl she referred
him to her father, who is a plain, sensible
man with no nonsense about him. Ise
looked the young man over and asked
him about his collaterals, and learned
with some surprise that he hadn't any;
he was a clerk on a small salary which
was hardly enough for one to live oil
Comfortably. "But I love your daugh-
ter," he ended by saying. "I love her
very tenderly and she loves me, and I
promiso if you will give her to Ise to
Make her happy."
"All right," said the old plan grimly;
"take her, I've only six to. provide fot
now, and one more won't make much
ditlererice."—Detroit Free Press.
A Dpg's Wonderful Instinct.
About four weeks ago Bill Webb, of
Iron Mountain, traded his bulldog Jack
foram Irish setter belonging to Professor
Williams, a traveling showman. Will-
iams took Jack with him to St. Paul,
Minn. This morning Jack hopped off of
as freight train in Iron Mountain on
which lie had jumped from an ore train
at the "Y," some distance up the line.
The dog musthave made its way here
from St. Paul, a distance of nearly four
hundred miles, by stealing rides on
freight, passenger and ore trains. When
it found its old master here it was much
emaciated, and how it had sense or in-
stinct to got back to Iron Mountain is a
mystery -.—Iron Mountain (Minh.) Cor.

The Absentees Were =There.
A young Englishman, on a visit to Ire- _
land during the shooting season (says
America), asked his host if there were
many of • the neighboring land holders
then at home.
"Devil a one, faith!" was the answer,
"the couuthry is schwarming with ab-
'sentees."--San Francisco Argonaut.

Probably the longest "bee" linty
railway in the world is that from
i3nenos Ayres to the foot of the
Andes. It covers 310 kilutnetres, or
about 275 miles, and is as straight as.

.3 feet to the mile. It crosses no
ravine and no stream, and therefore

A new nautical distress signal has been
successfully experimented with in Eng-
land, the notable feature In this device
being that no stink is required and there
is no back fire, the rocket taking the
form of a metal Cylinder, in the base of
which is the propelling charge, above
this being the charge of tonite and above
this again a star composition. The pro-
pelling charge is tired by simply pulling
a lanyard, and the signal is propelled
upward at one impulse until the rocket
has reached the maximum height. which
is 600 feet, The stars aro thrown out.
