A SCHOOL EXAMINATION.

(Jeems Kaye In " The BaMe,") Haelng been retnrned triumphantly, Bsilie, at the held o' the pole— altho' there wis nae pole that I saw — as the working man's candidate (aye stick m wit he working man, they hae maist voteß) o' the Sohule B?od, It wlsna laDg till I Bet aboot wark. At the first meeting I wis ap pointed principal examiner o' the sohules, co laton'cernadcifc my business tae eeo that the echnle-maißters under ua were doing their duty. To this end I Bent a note tae the head master, Mr Broon, Baying I wld cai n an bob if I approved o' the way In which the hairns were eddioated. Oa arriving half-an-oor before the time —it's best tae t»k' them unawares — the maiater look me up tae his platform an' made me ait doon In hia cosy chair, bo that I could see the hale echule at once, bb It were. "Sit doon, yer honour," Bays the maiater, while I show you my method of moulding their tender minds Into a proper discrimination ao atj.to fit them to take their place In this busy and bustling world of ours," en' wl' that he made a bow tae me. „ " If ye wld jlst han' me up the tawa, I aayo, " I wid feel malr at hame. Taws In the hann'a of the principal examiner o the Schnle Btod 'H lie like the sceptre m the haon 1 o' the klnp, ft Bhowß biß position •n' adds dignity. Thank ye. Noo pro ceed," an' I pnt a peppermint drap In my mooth an' prepared tae lletsn patiently. The echuleniftißter criea oot, "Dux m number four class begin." At this ;he. laddie KQt np an*. read frae a book, " Toe traveilera m five mlnutea were plunged into grosß darkness, an' m other five minu'.es they———" "Sropl etop!" I crlea. " Guid gracious, Miater Broon, d'ye no explain as ye go alang 1 Noo, what Ib ' groaa dark neßß V " I says tae tha iaddie. •• Great darkneßß," he replied. " Weel, In a manner so it te." I Bayß, " bafc that's no a scientific answer ; that's only a kin' o' gueaa. Work It oot by the rule o' three." The iaidie ccu'dna answer, an' the maister s?eiueil domb'foundered, bo I ■aya— '•ISToo I'll let ye ceo hoo tae dae it. Listen. Darkneßß. Ye a' ken what dark ness is : It's afier the tun has disappeared an" afore the lamps are lichted, an' a Is black an 1 dark. That is darkness. Weel, ye a' ken what a gross hi A gross la twelve dizz9n— a huner an' forty fower — multiply darkness by 144 an' ye have the answer — ' gross darkness.' " Here a 1 the bairnß gied a cheer, an' I aaya tae the maiater, "That's algebra for ye, Gang on wit he story." " m ither five minutes the tra vellers rested an' looked along the horizon——" " what'a that ?" "The horizon, air." "The horizm ! Let me see Ah, never mind thai big word, we'll mak' that a pass-over. I suppose it's the name o some French toon m the Heelan'e, an' I'm sure nane o' us il ever be there ; but lt'a your duty, Mr Broon, tae explain a' thae things tae the balms ; that's what we p»y ye for. I dcofc ye're no jUt as weel ap In your Latin derivations as ye should be. Weel, I wid like to try them wl 1 a coont or twa, an' aloo ma tae Bay, Mr Brcoo, that if they're no better up In the ooontin' than they are at the jography It 'Jl be my duty tae report ye tae the Parochial Board tae get your Government grant stopped, or at least made a hantle ama'er. it'B perfect nonsense tae keep np alch gran' Bohulcs if the weana are no kept better up tae the mark.

Noo try that." . No ane m the hale achula could work it oot, an' Mr Broon declared it wis a qaea tion otly fit for Profesfors m the ColJege. So as I mindit that I had forgot the way tae work it oot royeel' I thooht it best tae Bay nae mair aboot it, an' I criep, " Weel, weel, bairnß, j'st keep mm' o't an' try't at your leieure ; and noo maybe Mr Kroon '11 gie us a recitatioD, and then I'll gie yo a' a hanf-holiday." Mr Brcoa declared he couldna recite, bnt I grippii the taws an 1 Bays— 'Mr Brcon, when I'm no here you're maister, but when hrra I'm he : d man, representing the epayers, an' if ye dinna dae a9 I tell ye— recite or sing, aye, cr dance the Heelan' fling if I order ye — I'll jist hao tae gia ye a ta' te o 1 yer am taws." * Here a' the bairos gied a chr er, an' the approbation o' thie innocent minds nerved ma tae a sense o' my duty, co I rises up and aids — •' Mr Broon, coma up at onco.

PARISIAN LETTER.

(FKOM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.) Not m Germany alone, but m Paris bb well, the chief event la atill the death of the Emperor of Germany. By the side of this decease, big wlih unforeseen oon sequences, all other polltioal bualnoaa has paled into insignificance. The French Press comments on the death cf tha German Emperor m a respectful, if not In a sympathetic manner. The impression, howover, is general that a em's ia at hand, m which France will bo called on to act a part one way or the other. It is admitted that the peace of jJEorope has been dne of late yeara to the direct action of the late Emperor, and doubts are expressed whether his snoces- j cora will have the B»me influence on events aB he poßeeseed. It ia, at any rate, mnoh to be thankful for that the " man of peace " 1b eucoeeded by a Sovereign of moderate and paoifio views. That his life may bn spared ia, m the Interest of peaoa, ardently to bo desired. It has now been arranged that France should be worthily represented at the ceremony on the occasion of the Kaiser V funeral, by the appointment of a military deputation constating of General Billot, who is m command of t o First Army Corps, General doSesmaisons, and Lieut.- Colonel Kornprobet, who is attached to the Household of the President of the Republic. The German Emba3sy m Paris has ordered a special tervice to be solemnised at t.hi? Lutheran Church of the Redemp tion} at the) ntkve hour aB the obaeqnleß iv Jioilm. M. Oarnot, senator, and father of the President of the Republic, is Buffering from an attack of pneomonia. Hla medloal advisers reported that the malady was was following the normal course, aud that the condition of the patient was on the whole satisfactory. The Chief of the State has received from numerous mem bers of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies expressions of their cordial sympathy with him during the illness of his father. M Carnot, senior was born on the 6th of April, 1801. The discussing of the military estimates m the Chamber of Deputies which has recently taken place, Illustrates the danger of frequent changes m the direction of the War Office. Each new Minister has naturally his own peculiar views on mili tary matter?, and dur ng his brief tenure of effioe his principal work seems to be to ondo what his predecessor has done. The great preoccupation of every succes sive Minister would appear to be, to con ciliate the political inquiries of dominant gronpa In the Chamber with Military re quirements. uLb Soleil " Bays :- " The different Ministers of War have never been m any kind of agreement as to the manner m which the approptiatlons rated by the Chamber should be applied. General Loqerot, for example, believes that it ia incunabent for him to change an essential measure proposed by his pre deoeßsor General Terron, and agreed to by the Chamber— that' of creating new regimentß out of the fourth battaltons be longing to the old regimentß. It would seem that this idea would cause disorder m care of mobilization. M. <3e Martimprey states that the law of 1882, creatiog a corps de contrdh, is doing considerable harm to another essen tial corpß, that of L'intendance, M. Keller the asserts that finanolaldlatreaahas reduced effectiveness of regimental oompanies. The j average atreDgth of a company is 110 men, and the peaca establishment 1b by 60,000 men leas than the effective provided for m the Budget. On the question of Inspector-Generals, there ia considerable difference of opinion among military authorities, and they Beem to be as divided m Parliament on military as on political matters." Italy has offered some farther coocea sions to France m the Treaty of Commerce question, and the negotiations, are pro ceeding m Paris between M, Flourena the Minister for Freooh Affaire, and General Menatrea, the Italian Ambassador m Paris.

MAN AS A HOUSEKEEPER

Man la a creature that haa already elicited oar unqualified admiration j he Is m many capacities useful, and by a judicious arrangement of blua cloth and brass battonß can often be rendered to a certain degree ornamental. In -the sphere of action for whioh his many estimable characteristics have qualified him we accept him without a murmur ; but when It comes to having him foisted upon db as a housekeeper, we indignantly reject him. Wo have wintered and Eummered him In th^t capacity, and he ia an Ignominious failure. For the ornamental part of housekeeper he la peculiarly nnfhted : his soul fa closed and his vislou dim to the t uly beautiful. fle acorns brlc-a-brlc, and Is a not ans captlble to the ennobling and refining irfluence <f that home angel, the tidy. If there were fifteen tidies on the ohalr he would manage to crumple ton under him and get up with the rest on his back. He Is an enemy to all decorative art, and if not watched will go to bad on th.c pillow ehams. Be pulls the bed-olaVhes out by the roots when he gets op; he leaveß water m the wash-bowl, and hangs the towel on the floor. He mukea a hat rack of the piano, and expeots to find his slippers just where he left them last week. Hialdoa of being comfortable is to throw opan every <\oor and window m the houEe, and, aa to becoming arrange ment of lights and ehadea, bis mind ia a perfect blank. Be was- nevet koown to make a knot lv a towel t^i «^ 4B e flies out of the room, and if ha does noi. boo what he wanta the minute he opens the bureau drawer, he knows it 1b not there and you oannot convince him to. t'ae contrary. He lacka adroitness and alwaya, drags out the weak-legged chair for a visitor to sit on. Hlb mind h not nimble at taking hints. We have eeen a philosophical man help himself to the last Biles of cake, with company present, and unblushlngiy call fot more, notwith standing his wife was touching him under the table and bluaking at him for It. It will readily be seen that he is, by nature and education, totally disqualified to aot bB goddess of the home. Hlb occasional presence ia necessary to have him patronize the deserving institution at least three tlmea a day, and it look? well to sco him Bitting around m the evening ;. but it would never do to leave i .him In charge of the dearest Bpot on I earth. He would bankrupt domestic I blljs m a week.
