That Gander Would Set
" John Beard, living south of Morriee,
missed his gander • several days ago
and, of course, supposed it had gone
the way of all stolen fowls. As he was
turning over some boards one day last
week he got a genuine surprise wben
he came across the missing gander,
complacently and J with undisguised
and earnestness of purpose setting on
a nest of goose eggs behind the lumber pile. The biped is of the Wild
French African species, and had
plucked its plumage to .feather its
nest. This is the second time this
gander has undertaken to play the
part of an inet|bator. The other occasion being earlier in the season, when
it was taken from a nest and shut up
until its^setting proclivities were temporarily subdued in the "present instance Mr. Baard will reward the ambitious bird for its perseyerenee by
Leaving it alone and waiting to see
what happens,—Tribune.

Narrow Escape From Death.
By a narrow margin of three.Xtet
Miss Sara Wheadon, teacher of English in the high school, escaped death
under the wheels of a train at the
Michigan Central depot Wednesday
night. She happened to be standing
on one of the tracks and the noise of
an approaching team on another track
distracted-her attention and drowned
the noise of the one upon the track on
which she stood. She was entirely
unaware Of her danger until a man
with a cry of alarm sprang forward
and dragged her off the track, scarcely
three feet ahead of the rapidly moving
train.—Ypsilanti Press.

Education by horoscope for the mental development of the young is having a remarkable vogue in England.
With the education bill in parliament
exciting discussion among hoth clergy
and laity, the new idea of arriving- at
the mental condition of children—
namely, by means of casting horoscopes—may be one way-of solving
the various problems before the country. A new society has come forward
and offered "Horoscope Scholarships,"
each worth $75. Strangely enough,
these scholarships, while competitive,
do. not depend on the efforts of the
children themselves. Parents who
wish to win a $75 horoscope scholarship have to fill out "a competition
form, giving the name of the child,
date and hour of birth, and where the
birth wa-s reglstere'd. The last condition is essential in order to prevent
parents who may know something of
astrology themselves from "faking" a
brilliant horoscope from a hypothetical date, and thus even doing the stars
out of their job.
The child whose horoscope shows
the most promising future 'will be
awarded One of the prizes. Each of
the application forms will be turned
over to a number of "well-known and
skilled astr-ologists," and the child
having the best "future" is to be given
the chance, as it were, of living up
to it. For instance, if, among the
competitors, there are any young Napoleons, Miltons or George Washingtons, this fact at once wiil he revealed, and all the budding genius has
to do is simply to "bud" and the future will do the rest.
That the new idea is "Catching oh"
in England is demonstrated by the
fact that hundreds of i>arents have
gone in for the, prize offered. If the
metho'd becomes general, it will save
educational authorities a vast deal of
trouble. Instead of wora-yin'g with the
mentally deficient, the casting of the
horoscope will show where the shortcoming lies, and the child can be dealt
with accordingly. There is no use in
wasting an education, fit for Isaac
Newton on a child who vrill never rise
above the' mathematical attainments
of Simple Simon, for instance, and so
trouble Will be saved all 'round.
Children who receive the horoscope
prizes are to get the money in "hard
cash." The idea of giving ©ut real
money in connection with these mystical problems is a novel one in itself,
and that alone will account for the immense popularity of the new scheme.
If mystical money were paid for horoscope scholarships, or the children
had to wait until the future corroborated the predictions of the stargazing experts, very little interest
would be taken in the matter. The
scholarships are to be given on very
practical subjects. Eor instance, if
the horoscope indicates that the child
has musical talent, the §75 award is to
be devoted to developing the musical
faculties, and this course will also he
followed with reference to artistic genius, business capacity and even "all-
around a-bility." Just what this last
term signifies it is a little difficult to
say. It seems, however, that the horo-
Feopists are not to limit their award.
1" a child's career points, for instance,
to a brilliant fntnre as a trust magnate, every facility—to the extent of
the $75—is to be given to develop the
"all-around ability" in the specific directions indicated by the star chart.
The scholarships for the best horoscopes are not to he confined either to
girls Or boys, but either sex is open to
compete. The first three awards are
to be made to children under the age
of 14; while the fourth goes to the
hoy or girl hetween the ages of 14 and
17 whose horoscope denotes the possession of those qualities most essential to success in a, commercial career.
