' ROiS1AN CATti:Ol'.IZ'6 OIC' HOWE ISLAND TAKE POSSESSION OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ri On Howe Island, near Gananoque, one of the largest of the Thousand Is- lands, there are three school sections. A majority of the trustees and all the teachers are Roman Catholics, but so far no friction has taken place. On Sunday, Feb. 12, Archbishop CIealy preached in the island church and declared that the three schools should be erected into Roman Catholic Separate schools, and explained that as the majorityof the taxpayers eon the island ere Roman Cathlis, all that was necessary to do was to have a meeting on Monday afternoon, elect new boards of trustees, and as soon as new textbooks could be procured the trustees elected at that meeting were to take possession of the schools then in existence, and have nothing taught but what was sanctioned by him. Catholic trustees were elected on Monday and his Grace instructed the Cdthohc ratepayers to sign a petition setting forth the facts, that the schools might be given over as Separate schools. This petition is not yet suffi- ciently signed, and will be strenuously opposed by the Protestants. They severely denounce the arch - Bishop, accusing him of coming there to set creed against creed. South Huron Farmers' institute. MEETINGS AT HENSALL AND DASHWOOD WELL ATTENDED. The annual meetings of the South Huron Farmers' Institute took place on Tuesday and Wednesday last, and were well attended. The first day's proceedings opened at Hensall on Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, the President, Mr. S. G. •Ho- garth, of Exeter, in the chair. Mr. Hanna discharged the duties of Secre- tary. The afternoon meeting began at 2.30, when an excellent paper on "Im- proired Agricultural Methods" was read by Mr. Kernighan, of Benmiller. Addresses were also delivered by Mr. 'John McMillan, M. P. ; Mr. T. A. Rud- dick, of the Dairy Commissioners' staff, and Mr. A. G. Gilbert, Supurintendeet Poultry Department of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. In the evening the proceedings were inter- spersed with musical selections. The speakers were Messrs. Kernighan, Gil- bert and John McMillan, M. P. The hall was densely packed. Wednesday the scene of action was changed to Dashwood, where morning, afternoon and evening meetings were .held. All the meetings were well attended, the shall in the evening being unable to hold all who desired to attend. A very attractive musical pro- gramme had been prepared for the evening. Excellent addresses were de- livered by Mr. A. G. Gilbert, of Ottawa; Mr. Kernighan, Mr. McLean, Mr. Weis - miller and Mr. John McMillan. Mr. Weismiller spoke with his accustomed energy. Mr. Gilbert's address on the ' 'Science of Poultry Management" was listened to with great interest, and the speaker created an excellent impress- ion. The Institute is to ho congratulat- ed on their successful meetings. The Moral of the Tale. In a little Southern town, where the least happening was of vital import- ance and lengthy conversation, a worth- less citizen entered a store during the proprietor's absence, and abstrated his -entire cash capital, done up in two canvas shot -pouches. The robbery was soon detected, and the robber found. He made a full confession, delivered up the money, something over a hun- dred dollars, and was dragged to the county jail, several miles away. The incident, however, furnished conversation for the entire comm► lity, and the daring robbery was discussed on all sides. The news came to a • country -house, and was retailed at length to the family in the pres- ence of a small Ethlop, who acted as sub -butler and choreboy. After the capture and imprisonment of the offender had been related, the mistress. wishingto point the moral to the min, iature rakey, remarked : "Well, that is what comps of steal- ing. Isn't it terrible, Jennings ?" "Deed, mans, Miss Page," answered the bldek youth laboring under the iritnte of Jennings—'"Deed, it am tee - bib, Dat po' man didn'"have no chane "nal ter spend dat money."—From .the "Editor's Drawer," in Harper'Ps Maga- zine for March. ONLY MAGGIE. The two words, "only` Maggie," were a sort of by -word in the Olen-101AS fam- ily, where the young lady rejoicing in the baptismal appellation of Margaret was considered somewhat inferior in all respects to the three elder sisters. Miss.Nora Clements was artistic. Miss Georgina Clements was musical, and her hours were spent executing intricacies upon the piano. Miss Cordelia Clemente was a beauty. Maggie, the younger, was simply a cheerful, good-tempered, industrious girl, who aimed at • no display of either beauty or talent, but was quite content to be handmaiden for the others. Howard, the only brother, and the eldest of the family, was a physician and the head of - the household, the father and mother being dead. There was wealth enough to make a pleasant home when the separate incomes were combined, and Howard would have been most unwilling to see his sisters leave him for any but a home and husband of their own. "We can all live coinortably to- gether," he would say, "but you have not enough to live upon without work if You leave the house we oWn among Af first the two older girls were quite anxious to figure as areat artist and musician, but finally they allowed their brother to have his own way. The young doctor was very proud of his sisters and their various attractions, and when his warm friend and fellow - student, Paul Goddard, appeared to make him a short visit, he led him from the office into the house adjoining it, delighted at the prospect of showing off the girls to a city gentleman. n A tour of inspection in the drawing - room preceded the actual introduction. Thus Tlris scene upon the Catskill moun- tains was painted by myeldest sister,ter , Paul. We spent the summer there for the express purpose of allowing Nora to make sketches." "Very fine P" murmured Paul, trying his best to admire the mountains. "And the music is Georgina's. Geor- gina is Sig. Skyvallinni's best pupil." "A great talent," Paul murmured. "And this," continued Howard, open- ing the photograph album, "is Cor- delia." He added no more, and truly the face was sufficiently beautiful to need no comment. Paul spoke cordially : "What a beautiful face ! Who is this opposite your sister, Howard ?" "That is Maggie. Site is my youngest sister." "And does she paint or sing?" "Oh, no. Maggie has no talent and no beauty. She is a good little thing. But come to your room, Paul. Dinner will be ready at 6." "So Maggie is housekeeper," thought Paul, as he looked' round the tasteful apartment assigned to him. "I think Miss Maggie certainly has something of her sister's artistio eye. How exquisite- ly those floe. ere are arranged and how cool and fresh it is here after a hot,dusty ride." Seeking the drawing room again, Paul found the artistic sister contemplating the scene from the back windows with rapt enthusiasm. "Mr. Goddard," she said, advancing to meet him. Paul made the necessary speech of gratification, wondering if it was the brown of the Catskill mountains that was daubed so, extensively upon the skirt of Miss Noa's blue dress, and if it was artistic meditation, that had made. her pin her collar crooked, and -forget her cuffs altogether. She . launched at once into a bewildering sea of techni- calities, and called upon Paul to admire effects of cloud and shadow, light and. foliage, from the back window, till he felt like a reprieved prisoner upon the entrance of anot..er• sister, who was in- troduced as "my sister Cordelia." • The beauty was superb. Every curl of her glossy brown hair was arranged for effect. Her creamy complexion was heightened by a dress of soft white mus- lin, with tiny green leaves scattered over it. She bowed with languid grace, but sat as if actually afraid to move, for fear of disarranging any fold of her faultless costume. Georgina appeared as the bell rang and Georgina spoke but little. It made her hoarse to be always talking. 'Paul was inwardly resolving to cut his visit very short, when Howard open- ed the door of the dining•room and in- troduced : "My sister, Maggie." She was not pretty ; she was not artis- tic nor nWisoal ; but she was charming, to Paul's eyes, in five minutes. Her dress fitted her graceful little figure per- fectly t her collar and cuffs were white and smooth ; her hair was dressed care- fully and becomingly ; she wa exqui- sitely neat. Not fearing for her voice, she chatted gayly and pleasantly ; not being anxious about her dress, she moved gracefully and freely ; and having no specialty of talent, she could talk sensibly about the various topics her brother and his friends started. Dinner passed off pleasantly. Paul concluded that if Maggie was house- keeper her dinner certainly did her credit. A week passed away and Paul found himself groaning in spirit over the Misses Clements. He had wandered in search of the picturesque with Nora,had sacrificed gloves and boots in the pur- suit of wonderful boughs and inacces- sible flowers. He had listened to Georgina till his ears fairly ached, and be was divided in his own mind as to whether the performer or time listener deserved the most pity. He had ad- mired Cordelia in every variety pf cos- tume in every effective attitude; had seen her eyes raised, and the long lashes di the drooping lids; and marveled at the whiteness of her hands; at the pro- fusion of her curling hair; had consider- ed her a beauty, a Weariness, and a bur - em of spirit, ',Stele could find but little time to s1>, yk dl MatKgie, He itewthtl; evidence* lndu40y and 'facts, hi every detail of housekeeping; know whose Oklll directed theltervants, akittiee fingcrafilled the; flo1cf va, ntilJse eyeN Pereeyellr.

Yo now she was always running for the dt tees. So now the little damsel has time to enjoy her- self, and we have had some lovely rides and drives. Maggie does ride beautifully and her horse is very fond of her." It was true that Maggie was finding many leisure hours while her sisters were away, and Paul found that the re- tiring, modest girl was one of the pleas- antest companions it had ever been his good fortune to meet. ' It was an amusement the young phy- sician enjoyed to draw out the accom- plishments that had been overshadowed by her sisters' loudly proclaimed talents and attractions, He found that Maggie could sing, with a sweet, birdlike voice, .though site never attempted the difficult songs in which Georgian was supposed to excel. She could play simple pieces with feeling' and expression, and her fingers would fairly dance over the keys in livelier music that required no won- derf'.tl talent or elaborate execution. And it was wonderful how pretty the child -like face became in Paul Goddard's eyes. There was ti charm in the con- stant Cheerfulness that kept the rosy mouth ever smiling and sweet ; there was a beauty of expression in the brown eyes that mere form and color can never give ; there was an attraction always in the exquisite neatness of dress that was never stiff and prim, though so careful- ly arranged. Howard Clements, who loved his friend, and had hoped to secure him as a broter during his former visit, open- ed his eyes wide in amazement as the days wore away and Paul lingered in os vale Durin his first visit Howard Mossvale. a hopedtosee innyield to thefasci- nations e asci• nations of the elder Misses Clements, and no manceuvring mother ever took more pains than this brother to display the talents and beauties of his sisters. That anyone would look twice at Mag- gie when in the company of the others had never occurred to Howard. But in the light of Paul's evident ad- miration the brother began to contem- plate with different emotions the possi- bility of losing his little sister. He had borne with perfect composure the pros- pect of parting with the others. It seemed no great hardship. even when the separation involved the disappear- ance of Nora's masterpieces and Geor- gina's music rack. But to lose Maggie was quite another matter. "Who," Howard asked himself in dis- may—"who would superintend the ser- vants and keep the house in order? Who would wait with cheerlul smiles upon hint, when the duties of his profession obliged him to ask for meals in all sorts of irregular hours ?'' Visions of Nora in paint -bedaubed dresses, Georgina with frowsy hair, and Cordelia in inert beauty presiding over the household filled Howard's brains; and, while lie lamented, he admitted that "Paul's head was level" in his ap- parent choice. Maggie could scarcely believe she heard aright when Paul Goddard pleaded for the gift of her love and promised all loyalty and devotion if site would come to preside over his home. "But," she said, "you can not really lorve me." "I really can and do,' was the reply. "But I'm so plain and so stupe. How- ard said—" Site paused and blushed. "Well, what did Howard say?" "Never mind." "Tell me. That's a darling." "He said then that I was sure to be an old maid, and after the others were all married I was to stay here and help him keep up a bachelor's hall. I really don't see," she added earnestly, "how Howard will get along." "He must do as I do." "How?" "Seek a darling little housekeeper for a wife," So, to the amazement of all concern- ed, the first Miss Clements who was married was not the artist, not the musi- cian, not the beauty, but only Maggie.— New York News. The Effects of Cactus Chewing, The Indians chew those cactus hearts and swallow them. They induce a con- dition of exaltation: While under the influence a man is lifted out of himself, as it were. He is wide-awake, yet dreaming. The intellect is not clouded, but stimulated in a high degree. But the most remarkable timing about this plant is that its peculiar effect is not fol- lowed by any reaction. On that ac- count it might be ideally adapted for sores. It immediately arrests the reac- tion which makes the toper so sad after a "jamboree." At the same time, it is neither a narcotic nor an opiate. The Southern prairie Indians, with whom the eating of a plant is a religion, re- gard it as a cure for all diseases, especi- ally for consumption. At their sacred festivals they remain for days in the state of ecstasy described. Each man consumes the cactus heart at the rate of about one an hour. The songs and ceremonies are of a dreary kind, appropriate to the method of in- spiration. Experts at Johns Hopkins University will obtain from the material furnished the active principle of the plant, Titus it is expected that a new medicine, valuable, perhaps, for many remedial purposes, will be added to the pharmacopoeia. Dr. Carl Lumholtz has recently dis- covered that four varieties of this cactus are known to the aborigines in North- ern Mexico. One,giant kind is regard- ed by the Indians in that part of the country as their greatest medicine,being much more powerful than the plant em- ployed by the ICfowas. They can drink any amount of corn beer, and this rem- edy will take away all ill effects, The name in use among them for this big sort of cactus is "hieurri,"—Washington Star, SHORT SAYli4Sia. dicier In'f'lielr, 3Yortbitllft 'Out molt Off, •Trgth, • Regrete,do;1ot,mnits redxess; • The 4ig tiliker.Is.p IIt,I@ :doe!'". rbe a to i Te y shAlf>i x!!an may a ; It, I/T'rAY !"lltte ipet riser #g ;generally' a slow .

Well, in these days of great mechani- cal improvement, stoke -holds are losing their terrors. They are getting to be quite comfortable. Great strides have been made in the last twenty years in increasing the speed of ships, and it isn't too much to say that most of it comes through better and stronger boilers. Twenty years ago the boilers of the fast- est ships sustained only 70 pounds of steam -pressure to the square Mel', but now they sustain with ease 165 pounds. This means more than double the steam than formerly, 'utd rnuclm faster tw1 st• ing of the screws. It also means more coal and more stoking, but not near so Much in proportion to the -gain in steam. This is b. cause s have also been improved, 4`uruncebut thework of feeding their 'angry throats is hard enough ; su Lard, indeed, that steamship owners have found` that it pays to look after the comfort of the stokers as well as others of the crew, and hence stoke -holds are beginning to be ventilated and be more cotcfortable as working -places. The temperature of eteke-holds is still above 100 o when brisk work is going on, but ventilators keep pouring fresh cool air into the place, and time stokers almost never suf- fer from exhaustion in new steamships. The stoker works only eight hours a day, and this is divided into two "watches" of four hours each. That is, he works four hours, then has eight hours' rest, and theta works four hours, and doesn't think' his lot is such a bad one after all. To be sure, on merchant- men he has to be hounded all the time to do lets work properly, and he expects it, for he has a chronic objection against working without being driven to it, and oftener than not doesn't think it worth whileto wash his face in his eight hours' interval of rest, He probably wouldn't thank you fur your sympathy if you tried to tell hire that his life is •hard.— Harper's Young People. Men's Senses .Keener Than Women's. Thoughtful and observant persons do not need a demonstration that the senses are less keen in won -pan than in man. Their own experience has revealed that natural law. But since we are not all thoughtful or' observant, the experi- ments of Profs. Nichols and Brown are welcome; 'These American physiolo- gists have begun to experiment with the sense of smell. 'Tuey took four sub- stances most strongly odoriferous—es- sence of cloves, of garlic, of lemon and prussic acid. Each of these they dilut- ed with pure water in a growing propor- tion, filling a Set of bottles at every de- gree of the scale, until the last set repre- sented one part of the test substauce to 2,000,000 parts of water. Then they shuffled the bottles, so to speak, and called in 44 men and 38 wo- men, chosen from the various ranks of life, ail young and healtnny. These re- presentatives of either sex were instruct- ed to rearrange the bottles, guided by time sense of smell, puttingmelt set of tinctures by itself—garlic to illi garlic, lemon with lemon, etc. To put results shortly, the women were not in it. None of them could Ire t prussic acid beyond the dilution of 20,000 pars to 1, whilt most of the wren traced it up to 100,000 parts. Three of the latter ac- tually passed the extreme limit, identi- fying prussic acid at it single part in 2,000,000. Beyond 100.000 parts all the women failed to tecoouize essence of lemon ; all the men detected it at 250,- 000. This proportion represents their avefage superiority all around. ---Pall Mall Budget. The Shah and the Cat. It is said that the Shah of Persia, in spite of some rather unamiable eccentri- cities, has many kind-hearted traits. There is a venerable story, invented by some antediluvian Joseph Miller, of a man who found a cat failen asleep upon his coat-tails, and, rather than disturb the beast, cut off the coat-tails and walked away in a round jacket. Now, it is said to be a matter of authentic re- cord that the shah ou a certain occasion was aboutto set forth on a tour through his dominions attended by all his court and a vast retinue, .all of whom were ac- tually on the road when he found his pet cat fast asleep on the Identical fur mantle which he wished to wear, where- upon he sat him down to wait until puss should of its own accord wake up and leave its couch ; and that not coming to pass for some time the court and retinue were dismissed for the day -and the start postponed until the morrow, when, bo it observed, the shah's attendants took good care that no cat again should use the mantle for a bed.
