THE CURFEW IN CANADA.

It Mean. That Children Mu.t He Cnder the Parental Roof at Nine O'clock. The curfew tolls the knell of parting day sometimes at ei^ht anil sometimes at nine o’clock in several of the towns in this province, says the Toronto Mail. It no longer means “lig-hts out,” but is simply a summons to little boys and girls to take themselves off the street to the shelter of the domestic roof, where their sphere of danger, of bad company and of mischief will be narrowed, while fuller scope will be (riven to their capacity for rest. The curfew bell mig'ht be looked upon as a piece of socialistic presumption on the part of the municipality, as an encroachment on the inalienable private riyht of the head of the family to order the affairs of his own household. Hut the moral sense of the town will wink at this clbowinir aside of the parent by the municipality. The parent who is jealous of iiis prerogative as the ruler <>f his children fails to exercise that prerogative and delegates it to the town when he allows them to be a public nuisance and such a worry to the public. The police should not be called upon to render service as nurses to truant officers. They should be left free to keep adults out of mischief. There is no more vexatious, tantalizing duty than that of keeping track of a company of mischievous boys. They are likely to absorb the attention of any policeman who has them on his beat. Consequently, older and worse offenders are given a freer hand. Nor is there anything that demoralizes a policeman more than that kind of service. lie is apt to lose his interest in larger game and sink into a spy on the conduct of urchins, who will then make it a point to iill up his time with larks and escapades. The curfew tends to take this strain off the police.

HIS ORDER.

The Colled.' President'll Injunction Wan i. inilicult Oil., to Obey. The speaker who has planned an address for a multitude, and finds himself confronted with but a single auditor, sometimes fails to readjust his remarks, and the result is apt to lie ludicrous. A little story illustrative of this point is told in connection with a former president of the University of North

Carolina.

< >ne day, as this dignified and stately personage was walking about the campus. he observed an unlawful assemblage of students at some little dis-

tance. lie did not hasten his steps, but proceeded slowly toward them with his head down and his eyes apparently bent in contemplation of his own boots. When this leisurely proceeding had brought him to the spot where the students had been gathered, only one young man remained, the others having

precipitately departed.

The president raised his head and surveyed the solitary culprit with apparent severity, although the young man always contended that he detected

a twinkle in his keen eyes.

“Sir,” said the president in a commanding tone, "instantly disperse to your several places of abode!” Difficult though the feat required certainly was, the young man executed it to the best of his ability by "dispers-

ing" without further delay.

WOMEN STATION AGENTS.

They Are Common In Australia, anil Kara from Thirty to Sixty Ceilt* a !>ny. "I spent two months of last fall in Australia,” said a traveler to a New York Telegram man, "and saw some very funny things, butjnothing struck me as more peculiar than the lady station agents, who are now quite common in some parts of the colony. To do the ladies justice, they appear to be perfectly competent to carry out the work assigned to them, and they have a way of answering questions without resenting each one as an insult, which is very refreshing. In some of the small stations a woman is in sole control, operates the telegraph herself, sells the tieketsdooksafter what little freight arrivesand is shipped,exercises general supervision over the train hands and sleeps in a little room either above or behind her office. None of them seems to be in the least disconcerted or alarmed in consequence of risks which they evidently run, and, as far as the public is concerned, the innovation is by no means objectionable. Rut just how these ladies keep body and soul together on the munificent stipend which varies between thirty cents and sixty cents per day is one of those mysteries the solution of which is known only to the ladies themselves and the soulless corpuratiuiia which employ them.”

He then followed the example of the others and ate the leek, when he found the butter instantly transferred into just as delicious butter as he ever tasted. The leeks grow up through the snow, and are the first green thing to be found in the fields and along the streams, and the cow.-, vat them with a relish; with the result that the butter made from their milk is strongly scented, and the disagreeable taste can only be removed by lighting it with its own weapon, and so leeks are provided for

ASTONISHED THE NATIVES.

The Camera and Bhonograph Used with Effect to Induca Kanaka Kinlgrattoa. When one of the Australian squadron was patrolling the South seas lately, she came up with a sailing vessel, and one of her officers boarded the stranger, says the Sydney Mail. She proved to be a colonial craft, engaged in recruiting Kanakas for the (Queensland plantations. On hoard the naval officer noticed a phonograph. He was told that before the vessel left Queensland the captain visited some of the sugar plantations where South Sea Islanders are employed. He took a camera and a phonograph, and then he went into the business of photographing groups of natives on the plantations. also taking individual pictures of well-known natives from the New Hebrides and others from the Solomon group. Edison’s invention was then brought into service, the best known of the natives, especially those who have relatives and friends in the islands, being asked to speak into the phonograph anything they would like to tell their friends. Large numbers of these phonograph letters were procured. giving accounts of what sort of life the Kanakas were having on the plantations and any other news that would interest the "old folks at home” at Mallicollo, Ambryra, San Christoval, Malaita and other islands. After securing a good supply the ingenious shipmaster sailed for the islands, and. when last seen, was astonishing the natives. Many of the photographs he had transferred to glass for use with the lime light, and with the photographs and the phonograph he was in a position to give such an exhibition of life on a plantation as fairly changed the native doubts into an enthusiastic desire to emigrate. Nor was this all. At the lime light show he would produce a full-sized picture of an absent friend, a native who was well known in the island in which the shipmaster happened to be, and, to the amazement of his dusky audience, would make him speak words of greeting from his plantation home in liundaberg—a thousand miles away. If any misgivings were felt before the phonograph was produced, that bewitched machine dispelled them by making the lime light figure of their friend address the natives in their own tongue, and in the same voice that they knew so well when lie dwelt among them. Needless to say, the phonograph has proved a valuable recruiting accessory.

TOSSING COINS.

Chances of Three Pennies Falling All Heads or AU Tails. Supposing a man to toss three pennies in the air, what are the chances of their coming down all heads or tails? This is a question discussed in a recent number of Nature by Francis (ialton, of the Royal society. He upsets a popular delusion regarding the laws of chance. It is obvious that at least two of the coins thrown in the air must turn up alike, for when the coins are on the ground there must always be either two heads or tails showing. The question then is as to the chance of the third coin turning up a head or a tail. It is of course an even chance whether a third coin turns one side or the other. Is it. therefore, an even chance that all three coins will lie alike? Mr. Galton says it is not an even chance, and that the man who bets his money on such a theory would lose in the end. He says the relative chance of all three coins turning up alike is two to eight, and he figures it out in this way: There are two different and equally probable ways in which a coin may turn up, there are four ways in which two coins may turn up. and there are eight ways in which three coins may do so. Of these eight ways one is all heads and another all tails. While it is an even chance whether a third coin is heads or tails it is not an even chance that the third coin will turn the same as the other two. In order to test tliu matter Mr. Galton tossed three coins eight times. Only twice did they come up all alike, while the third coin was equally divided between heads and tails. Mr. Galton then made 120 throws of dice, with three dice in each throw, the odd numbers counting as heads and the even numbers as tails. 1 ne 120tnrows were divided into three groups of forty in each, and gave the result of all alike— 8, 12, 8, total, 28, as against not all alike—32, 28. 32; total, 02. This seemed to settle the matter, and indicated that the most probable expectation In the case of the dice was 30 to 00.

TAUGHT BY A CHILD.

A Learned Man Find* Something New In

Natural Philosophy.

As a change from the story of Columbus and the etrg. which may now very properly be laid aside until 1002, draws near, an incident related by a Frenchman of science and vouched for by him may be told. This gentleman relates that he was at his work before a glowing coal fire when some one tapped at the door and a young girl belonging to a family who lived in the "flat" above him came in. "Sir,” she said, “would you kindly lend me a live coal or two to start our fire with? It's gone out.” “Certainly, my dear,” said the savant. "Hut you have brought nothing to carry it in. Take my shovel.” “Oh, no. sir,” answered the child. "I will carry the coals in my hand.” “In your hand? IVhat do you mean?

You’ll be burned.”

"Oh, no, sir. I’ll show you how.”

THE LITTLE TERROR.

How Kaby Amuh»*«1 Itself and Others on the Street Car. It was a very cunning little child, just beginning to talk, says the New York Herald, and its mother manipulated it so as to show its sweetness to the best advantage for the rest of the passengers. The lady who sat beside the mother on the cross seat of the car smiled at it, the woman opposite chirped at it, the man'across the aisle let it play with his cane. Amid all these attentions the little one crowed and laughed and squirmed around in the very ecstasy of pleasure. Every now and then, however, the child turned toward the lady next to it and regarded her with fixed admiration. Finally it put out its chubby hand and cautiously felt her nose through her veil. Then everybody looked at the nose and saw that it was very red. Conscious of this observation the woman with the nose got red cheeks and a red neck. The nose in the meantime lighted up like a beacon, greatly to the delight of the baby, who grabbed at it under the impression, evidently, that the nose had been colored up for its especial enjoyment. “Pittyl” cried the child, trying at the same time to take hold of the nose. The unfeeling man with whose cane the baby had been playing grinned as he picked up the discarded stick and the mother tried to choke the baby off with kisses. The other women smiled sweetly—all but the woman with the red nose. She was mad enough to bite the child's head off. But the little innocent began to pinch its mother's nose, and make a mental comparison between that organ and the nose shining through the veil. This was certainly odious. Hut the closer the infant studied the two noses the more satisfied it appeared to be that the red nose was the prettiest and most desirable. So it playfully grabbed the red nose once more, to the equal discomfiture of the owner of the nose and the owner of the baby. At that point the woman with the nose arose and made for the door, the baby began to yell with disappointment, and the spectators laughed merrily.

A PENURIOUS RICH MAN.

Traveled Without IlaaKage ami Did Not AVihli a Herth in the Sleeper. "I have a friend," said an out-of-town coal operator to a Pittsburgh Dispatch man, "who is worth nearly five hundred thousand dollars, and yet is the most penurious man 1 ever saw. The other night we were going on to Chicago on business. Wo went into the sleeper together, and as I was quite tired I suggested going to bed. ‘Where's your berth?' I asked. ‘Herth?’ repeated my friend; ‘why* I’m not going to take a berth. I shall sit up in the day coach.’ When I told him there was nothing but sleepers on the train his face fell and he seemed worried. I knew what the trouble was; he was thinking of the few dollars he would have to spend for a bed, so I said: ‘I guess you'll have to hand over tonight.’ He appeared much distressed, and suggested that we double up and both sleep in one berth, ‘for,’ he said, ‘it will be cheaper for both.’ I laughed at the idea, and informed him that I did not care to make myself uncomfortable for the sake of a few dollars. Well, he resigned himself to his fate, and I noticed when a berth was assigned him he was without a handbag of any sort. As he was going to stay in Chicago but a day I said: ‘Where’s your bag? Surely you didn't bring a trunk for one day?’ He then sat closer to me, and. crossing his legs, began in a most earnest manner: ‘That’s just where you fellows make a mistake. You carry a hag with you as a sign that you are a good subject to beat. Now, I carry nothing—not even so much as a package for my night shirt, for I have that on now, under my other shirt—and you see that I dress shabbily. Why, if I carried a bag hotels, hackmen, porters and everybody would charge me double what they do now. I’ve got too much common sense to lay myself open to high prices.’ He seemed satisfied with himself after he had given me this oration. As I crawled into ray berth I wondered for what object some people with five hundred thousand dollars lived, anyhow.”

HIS IMITATION TOO GOOD.

•Junt Retribution Vinlted l T pon a Frolicsome I'ennftyl vanlan. A well-known resident of Manayunk has the reputation of being the best imitator of the calls of birds or beasts in the city. His imitation of the caterwauling of a Thomas cat, says the Philadelphia Record, is simply irresistible, and when he gets out into the hack yard for practice all the felines for squares are soon gathered in close proximitj*. A few nights ago he came to grief in an effort to have some fun with a crabbed neighbor. About 11 o'clock he stationed himself outside of a board fence surrounding the man's residence and began meowing in a low tone, gradually rising, until a high 0 note was perfected. In a few minutes the window was raised and sundry articles were thrown in the direction of the supposed night howler. The howls then increased in volume, finally reaching the ear-cracking quality. The aroused neighbor could stand the racket no longer, and, stepping downstairs, opened the door quietly, slipped out. seized a clothes-prop and made for the vicinity of Mr. Thomas, who at that time poked his head above the fence and received a stunning blow, which, knocked him inscn'ji’d.c. lie was carried home and revived with stimulants.
