FIRST ENGLISH NEWSPAPER. It Was Only Allowed to Print News From Foreign Countries. The first newspaper printed in the English language, with its old English type and its quaint account of events in foreign countries, was a pamphlet issued in 1621. Its title, “Corrant, or Nevves From Italie, Germanie, France and Other Places,” is as curious as its contents. For many years it had been supposed that no copy of the Corrant was in existence, but recently a copy of ! this interesting document, which• was the first step toward the mod-' ern newspaper, was discovered. At the time the Corrant was published freedom of the press was a thing that did not exist. The publication of domestic news in England was forbidden by royal decree at that time and until 1641, and this accounts for the fact that all the news in the Corrant is from foreign countries. Even the privi-, lege of printing foreign news was taken away by star chamber edict in 1632. But in 1641 the restrictions against both domestic and foreign news were removed. Crude as the Corrant may seem, it was the outgrowth of a long period of “journalistic” progress. Early in the sixteenth century news letters, each intended originally to keep some nobleman or member of the royal family informed, but later supplied to small lists of subscribers, came into vogue. These were written by hand. Then came the printed news book, issued at irregular intervals in a numbered series having a common title. The next step was the Corrant, which was followed by other pamphlets of the same class. This copy of the Corrant is owned by a New York collector, who discovered it in a volume of miscellaneous pamphlets which he had bought at an auction of old books without suspecting its value.—Popular Mechanics. No Such Name. t Paul Armstrong tells of a friend -of his, an exceedingly deaf man, who was being introduced to a young woman. The young woman was pretty, but she had a strange name. Her name was Dinglefugle. “Mr. Smith,” said the mutual ac quaintance, “this is Miss Dinglefugle.” The deaf man cupped his hand behind his ear. “Please pardon me,” he said, “but I’m hard of hearing. What did you say the lady’s name was ?” “Miss Dinglefugle.” ‘Tm awfully sorry,” murmured the afflicted one with a strained and puzzled look in his eye, “but I haven’t caught it yet.” The other man raised his voice to a shout. “Miss Dinglefugle 1” he blared. Resignedly, hopelessly, the deaf man shook his head. “It’s no use,” he said—“sounds like Dinglefugle to me.”—Saturday Evening Post. No Old Maids. “We’d have no old maids if we took a lesson from the ancient Babylonians,” a spinster said. “In Babylon unmarried women were graded by the state according to their looks. For a beautiful young wife the state demanded a large number of gold pieces, a less desirable wife cost a smaller number of gold pieces, and this money was all paid out again as rewards to those who married elderly, unattractive girls. Thus it cost a fortune to marry beauty, but if you married ugliness a fortune came to you; hence all was happiness in Babylon, and old maids were unknown.” Australian Birds. Some Australian birds lay their eggs in black sand, as if aware of its superior power of absorbing heat. Others select the neighborhood of hot volcanic springs, whose warmth plays an important part in the hatching. The mound builders collect heaps, of earth and leaves as much as eighteen feet high and thirty feet in diameter, and in this hotbed their eggs are hatched. An Irishman In India. ‘lndia,” said an Irishman welcoming a Welshman to Calcutta, “is just the finest climate under the sun, but a lot of fellows come out here, and they drink and they eat, and they drink and they die, and i then they write home to their friends a pack of lies and say it’s the climate as has killed them!”— Cardiff Western Mail. Marble Statues. To clean marble statues nothing is better than a paste made of Spanish whiting and a teaspoonful of washing soda dissolved in water. Rub the marble well with this, using a flannel cloth, and after allowing it to stand an hour wash it off with warm water, dry well and polish, Mrs. Sol Lung is visiting at Cromwell. J. W.

Lutes and family. Manna a Fungus. It seems that in the present day Arabs who are obliged to traverse the sandy wastes of Arabia depend to a large extent upon “angel’s food” both for themselves and for their camels. The manna is in reality a fungus which is found in great quantities on the sand after rain. Os a gray color and of the size of a pea, it has a pleasant, sweet taste, and, although its analysis shows that it is by no means a perfect food, it is sufficiently rich in nitrogenous matter and carbohydrates to sustain life for a long period.—Chambers’ Journal. Normal Schools. Normal schools originated in Germany and were for a considerable period confined to that country. The first was organized in Stettin, in Prussia, in 1735; the next by Frederick the Great at Berlin in 1748; another was opened in Hanover in 1757, and others followed in various parts of Germany. The first school for the instruction of teachers m France was established in 1810/the first in Holland in 1816 and in England in 1830. The first normal school in the United States was opened in 1839.—New York American. He Wouldn’t Set. A Washington photographer once ' told how in his youth he was practicing his art in Cleveland when Mark Twain visited the town to lecture. Impressed with the humorist’s splendid features, the photographer at the lecture’s end sent up a note asking Mr. Clemens for a sitting. The reply that came back was characteristic. It said: “A sitting! Is thy servant a hen that he should do this thing?” - The Parsees. The Parsees of today are the direct descendants, religiously, of the ancient Zoroastrians of Persia. They still maintain the fundamental beliefs and ceremonies of the old faith. The modern Parsees number about 150,000, the greater part of them being found in British India. Their moral and intellectual standing is high, according to the statements of all who have dealings with them. —Alsyke and timothy . seed for sale by A. W. Strieby & Son.
