SWISS SCHOOLS.
The Conne of Study and the Sratem
of TraluliiK.
The education given in tho schools of
Switzerland Is In many respects more
comprehensive and practical than that
offered In our currlculums. The girls,
for Instance, arc taught not only to
read and write and spell, but to cook,
to wash, to sew, says the Housekeeper.
In addition to being trained for the du
ties of hoinotnaking and housekeeping,
each girl is taught some useful trade.
Many of the pupils are daughters of
rich parents, and thero is little likeli
hood of their ever having to earn their
own living, but the paternal govern
ment takes the view that every nioni'
ber of society should possess the abili
ty to be self supporting even though
tho necessity to exercise that ability
should never arise. No expense has
been spared In equipping the schools of
Switzerland for the teaching of domes
tic science.
The boys, too, have not been neglect
ed In the Swiss system of education.
Physical culture and manual training
have prominent places In the curricu
lum, and every boy on leaving the pub
lic school Is equipped to earn his own
living. Fads and frills are absent from
the Swiss schools. The hard headed tax
payers want to see some return for
their money. They demand that the
education for which they pay shall be
practical and useful in after life. Aro
they not right ?
WHO IS INSANE?
No One or Every One, According am
We Am It the Qucntlon.
Who Ih Insane? No one or every one,
according as wo ask the question. No
one In an asylum will admit that ho or
die Is insane. Each In turn would re
sent such an insinuation. Certainly
no one out of an asylum will assent to
tho charge of being Insane. And yet
both parties readily recognize the In
sanity of others. An Intelligent old
lady, onco the head of a ladles' sem
inary, wished me to discharge her
from an asylum, alleging that all the
patients In the hall believed her sane.
Seven women were privately asked
their opinions as to her sanity, and all
declared that she was very Insane,
while asserting tliolr own sanity. When
informed of the result of the test the
old lady accurately described tho spe
cial peculiarities of each of her ac
cusers. S,lu every community tho
private gossip is much concerned about
those who nre called "strange," "pecul
iar," "deranged," "unbalanced," "light
headed." "a little off." "out of gear,!'

A WONDER OF RANGUN.

Rangun, the principal city of Bur
ma, grew ui "round the sacred spot
on which Is built the great Shoay Da
gon pagoda, onu of Its principal won
ders. "Ulslng to a height of MO feet,
Its size is greatly enhanced by the fact
that It stands on an eminence that Is
Itself 100 feet above tho level of the
city," says a writer. "It Is covered
with pure gold from base to summit,
and once in every generation this gold
Is completely renewed by public sub
scription. Yet throughout the Inter
val the process of regildlng goes on
perpetually. Pious people who seek in
this way to express their veneration
and to add to their store of spiritual
merit climb up dally with little flut
tering packets of gold leaf, which they
fasten on some fraction of its great
surface. There Is no more picturesque
sight offered by It than that of a group
of these silken worshipers outlined high
against its gold In the act of contrib
uting their small quota to its splendor.
The pagoda Itself has no Interior. It
is a solid stupa of brick raised over a
relic chamber."
Woi-Klilpera of Wnk.
The Borans aro a strange people In
habiting the frontier between British
East Africa and Abyssinia. The tribe
are polygamlsts when they can afford
It, and by religion they worship the
spirit Wak, which requires constant
propitiation. This is done by sacrific
ing their children and cattle. A Boran
of any standing when he marries be
comes a "raba," and for a certain pe
riod after marriage, varying from four
to eight years, he Is obliged to "throw
away" any children that are born to
him to appease Wak. After this period
he becomes n "gudda" and keeps his
children. London Express.

In Chesapeake bay, 112,") miles south
of Baltimore, with which city commu
nication by boat three times a week
may be depended upon during the sum
mer season, Is the strange isluud of
Tangier, so completely Isolated from
the usual lines of travel that it hardly
i seems possible that It can be a part of
the stato of Virginia. Imagine, )t
you can, an island about Ave miles
long and three-fourths of a mile in
width, with a population of nearly
' 1,500, where each house Is connected
with Chesapeake bay by a tiny canal;
an island where the population has
I built homes along one narrow street
but nlno feet In width, without side-
walks, roadbed or gutter; an island
where the women go about with bare
feet and calico gowns during the week
and where the men leave for their work
at an early hour on Monday morning
and remain away until Saturday after
noon; an island where Intoxicating liq
uors are not sold, where billiard rooms
and pool rooms arc unknown; an Island
where one physician and the minister
constitute the professional class; an Is
land where profanity Is punished by
fine; an, Island without n jail or lockup
and where religion Is the-rulo and to
bo outside of tho church Is to bo out
side of the pale of the best society; an
Island where public cemeteries arc un
known and where the dead of each
homo arc burled In the front yard. If
you can imagine all this, you may have
some faint Idea of the peculiar sur
roundings of the Inhabitants of Tan

A Story of Napoleon III.
Napoleon 111., who had no fewer poor
relatives to help on than any other sov
ereign, was trying one day to convince
a cousin, whom he had already gener
ously aided, that It was impossible for
him to increase her allowance. The
princess took the refusal angrily and
as she was leaving said In a taunting
manner:
"Decidedly you have nothing of tho
great emperor, our uncle."
"You mistake, my dear cousin," re
plied Napoleon, with a cheerful smile.
"I have his family."
