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 - ' n a PAINS S • CELERY • COMPOUND M ACTS AT THE IMMIX TIME 011 THE NERVES, THE LIVER, THE BOWELS, and the KIDNEYS This combined action gives it won- derful power to cure all diseases.

One •of his recent feats, in which almost au- perhulnan strength is called' into ate - count, was witnessed only a few days ago by a number of the best citizens. Re raised, apparently with the greatest Vase, a huge pedestal 'weighing 1,800 pounds, and held it aloft above his head for several seconds, Mr. Kramer is over six feet in height and tips the beam at 285 pounds. It has been frequently as- eerted by papers in this section of the estate that he has exhibited deeds of strength that would make the renowned Australian giant turn green with envy, stud Editor Tippett tllIs week announces In his paper that this modern Samson can tie Sullivan with one hared and thrash the "Boston baked beans" out of hila with the other. There are men in this county who will stake $1,000 that he is the strongest human being in existence todayt--Wheeling Intelligencer. 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. Chicago Tribune 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.

She sticks to that for the remainder of her life. Probably the longest "bee" linty railway in the world is that from i3nenos Ayres to the foot of the Andes.

A Signal of Distress. 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. gi•trng,a brilliant iilumination, and the tonite charge then explodes, the noise of the explosion being equal to the firing of 11 six pound gun, but being high up it is heard at a great diitanoe.—%"dun Let. 4tsr. 0 IENDALL'S SPAVIC ODE. roar Er.Lresa, Max., lkiny 10 1889. rt.
