The new school book law cannot affect a former contract with a pub lishing company. The law pro vides that the books and supplies shall be owned by the district and furnished the pupils free. The mat ter of making a new contract rests with your own judgement, but since under the new law the dis trict is protected by the board bond of the publisher, filed in this ollice your district officers may deem it best to make and sign a new con tract. August 14th, IK'.tl. Does the new school book law obligate publishers who have filed sworn statements of contract prices and bonds to furnish their publica tions at said prices to districts which do not make contracts? No. Districts which do uot make contracts are not. entitled to con tract prices, nor to the protection of the publishers' bonds. The above question has been sub mitted to nit: and the answer imme diately following said question is the opinion of this office. A. K. Goi'DY, Supt. Public Instruction. MY SAILOR LOVER. RULES RELATING! TO THE NEW SCHOOL BOOK LAW. School boards should make pro visions at the annual meeting for carrying out its provisions by levying tax sufficient to buy new books. Of course, the new law will not affect those districts which have already supplied the pupils with free text-books further than to make it necessary for them to know for their own protection that school book publishers with whom they may enter into contract have complied with the require ments of the law by filing in this ollice sworn lists of prices and necessary bond. The law is compulsory upon the school districts of the state. It is not (necessary for those dis tricts whose books are satisfactory to discard these books and to adopt others; it will be wiser whenever the books now in use are fairly satis factory to retain them, and merely to supplement the present supply by the purchase of enough books to meet preseut needs. I do not understand that it is nec essary in ompliauce with law for a school district to enter into a for mal contract with a publisher ex cept incase of a wish of the board to make a permanent arrangement with a publisher for suppying Jthe district for a specified time, as one, two or more years. Forms of con tract are in course of preparation and will be Jfurntshad the districts iu the course of the summer. Certified copies of prices of books will be supplied from this office as publishers may avail themselves of the privileges granted by this law. June, 1851.

Fighting a Fashionable Dressmaker. In reference to obstinacy in dress makers for carrying out ideas I had an amusing experience. Mv sister's stav in Paris was too short for my dressmaker to undertake all she wanted made. For the best things we went to a big dress maker, whose importance lies in great pretensions. Among the things ordered there was one for which I wanted my own way. The woman exclaimed: "But that is not practical. You women have ideas, but they can't be carried out." "Well, if it cannot be carried out I will be responsible for spoilt cloth if there be any." I knew she opposed it because the idea was not her own, and that it did not go to swell the bill with yards of lace, feathers, furs, passementerie, etc. She consented at last; the dress was a great success. A few weeks after I had occasion to call on the dressmaker, and what was my surprise to find several dresses in the showroom with my idea very practically carried out, and what was my greater surprise, when the wom an came in, to find she was wearing my idea practically demonstrated on her own back.

Bartholdi was no ordi nary iierson, and on her ninetieth birth uay sue looicea so full of life and beamed so with mental vigor and heartiness that I wonder she did not live to a hundred. She was left a widow early, and devoted herself to the education of her sons and me stewardship of their paternal prop erties, which under her management were increased to fortunes. Though io wen enuoweu wun tne money making faculty, she was a person of agenerow ujupoemon ana given to hospitality. In youth she was reputed the hand somest girl in Alsace. As an old woman she was more than handsome. The pure outlines remained, and the fire of the kindest, quickest and most lambent pair eyes unaginanie was never niinrll so long as life remained. The son must have had her in his head, as he remem bered her in her younger days, when he was sketching the design of the statue oi "Liberty Enlightening the World.' It was her idea that Liberty should not be en pate de guimauve, but of a grave aim severe anpect. .Liberty was the best of all conditions, she used to say, for mono wuo were severe upon themselves, aud the worst for the self indnlirent One never saw a truce of self righteous harshness in the old lady. She was very iimuigeiii iowara me erring; but that grace, nlie said, enne with the wide ex perieuce of old age. It was a source of enjoyment to her to drive to the Isle of bwans, in the Seine, and look at the re duced copy which was set tip there a few years ago of the famous statue which now stands at the entrance of New York harbor. One of her sayings was, "Do not repress badness; crowd it out with good ideas." London Truth. A I'aris Candle Story. "Every traveler who stops at a Paris lodging hon.se," laughed a woman the other day, "has a candle story, and here ia mine: We were served with two candles every morning, which we never half used up; these would be taken out, however, and fresh ones appear in their places. Knowing that we were being charged for every candle we determined at least to enjoy added illumination, and my husband looked around for a place to hide them during the daily doing up of the apartment. On the top shelf of a cabinet arrangement in a corner stood a largo Japanese vase, wide and deep. Up to this Mr. climbed, to discover that we had been forestalled, for in its capa cious hollow we found seventeen can dles, every one burned down perhaps an inch. "Some former lodger had resented the candle swindle like ourselves, and had put his daily allowance where it would do the proprietor no good. That night a brilliant illumination of nineteen caudles, each set in its own grease on the marble top table, gave us something like light. During our stay we hid and accumulated candles, so that we had always enough to read by, and when we left we deposited our overstock in the vase for the benefit of some searchinir SUCCeSSOr."

The three great religions of China are Confucianism, Buddhism and Taonism The bulk of the people are Buddhists rather than Confucianists, and there are millions of infidels. The tomb of Con. fuciu8 is at Mecca, for many of the Chi nese, and they make pilKriuiatros to it. Confucianism is more a philosophy than a religion, it contains many of the beau ties which we suppose to be exclusively the properties of Christianity. The golden rule in a negative form was an nunciated by Confucius, and as a system of morality it is beautiful. The Taousts have more superstitions than the Con fucianists. They began about the same time as Confucius, their preacher being one Liaon-isze. Tho state religion, in connection with which all these religions come in, is the worship or the emperor, who is the son of heaven and the prophet, priest and king of the people, lie worships for mem in the temples at Pekin. When the great Temple of Heaven was burned down a shudder ran down the 300,000,000 spines of the great Chinese nation. It was thought that this was a warning from heaven that the emperor should be de posed. Frank Q. Carpenter in National tribune. Ilegclng I.etten from London. "Ever since I was abroad." said a well known New Yorker, "I have been pes tered with all sorts of begging letters. They are mostly from the managers of fcngusli charitable institutions of vari ous descriptions, though some are from private individuals. The former inclose a variety of printed matter illustrating the purposes and work of the institution. The latter are abject appeals of appar ently professional begging letter writers, with which London abounds. I was talking with a friend about Hand he said he had the same experience for abont two years after he had built a fine house here, a description of which and his wealth got into the local papers. He was deluged with begging letters from almost every capital in Europe and es pecially from London. "Ttf.'se people are the worst and most persistent beggars in the world. Fancy an American mailing begging letters to Londoners! I suppose there must be money in it or they wouldn't do it." New York Herald. "Brno." The Intelligent foreigner is highly amused at the indiscriminate way in which English audiences use this word. regardless of the number and sex of the performers whom they wish to applaud. tenor is, or course, bravo; but a prima donna is brava. More than one male artist can only be bravi, and if there are more ladies than one on the stage, aud no man is to be included in the applause, they should be hailed as brave at least according to Italian grammar.
