M. Levasseur recently read to the Aoad- emie des Sciences an interesting report upon the progress made in primary education thronghont France during the last five years. Tne annual ordinary expenditure has in- creased during that period by 37 per cent, from £2,988 696 in 1877 to £4,690 402 in 1882, while the extraordinary expenditure provided for by the law in 1880 foe equipp- ing and endowing primary schools bos been between eight and nine milpoas during the Fa-ne period. The number of primary sshools has increased daring the fi«e years from 71,- 547, to 75 535, the increase being chiefly m public and lay schools. The number of pu- pils in the public and free schools bss risen from 4 716.935 in 1876 1877 to 5,341.211 in 1881-1882, and of this hitter total 4 350 256 were students in the public schools. Toe progreeain public educatipnlws been entirely oenfiaed to the lay schools, which have gam- ed 584,968 student? nnoe 1878. while tbe public religious schools have lost 208.514. Bat in the free schools the reverse has' hap- pened, the relioions ones having increased bv 140.337 stunt, while the laj^ frw sshools have lost 44,667- The number of pupils in the infant schools has increased during the same period from 532,077 to 644,334.

I^averal soldiers were then stationed m the church, and when the thiol's cenfederttes arrived in the morning they were taken into costody. At first they denied all knowledge of the conspiracy, but after a little one of them confessed and told the whole story.

The bone is set in a stick, and then the tendon is put on the flesh with their feet, as they beat the picture in bit by bit. Snakes, fish, and alligators are their strong points. The Japa- nese and Gninese are experts after a fashicn. Tney draw only Chinese cr Japiness pictures, and generally put the name of the object nnder what tbey portrav.

The in- •.tmments were iminense taaabourinea, per- aaps two and n half feet in diameter, whieh they tuned to the i^ht aud^al pitch by oc- casionally heat'ng them over the charcoal fire. The noise produced by these lustra- meats was deafening and monotonooa. Tliay continued ponndinfl; steadily for parhapa twenty minutea with no reanlt^ when all at once a yonng nun mshad into the centre of the drole with a scream aad commenced to PAMCIAirD OaaXiniTLATR WILDLT. He was immediatdy M'zad l^ the attend- ants, who divested htm of hia enter garmenta and orcaments. -He tiien, with a yacaat, staring expression, began to dance wildly betore the tall candle. It could hardly be cdled a dance, as htefeet were stationary. He simply threw hia head and holy back- ward and forward, all his mussles being completely relaxed, his head almost ton ib- ing the flame of the candle at it swung for- ward. His face soon became red and be. be- gan to froth at the mouth. He was soon joined by two othiars. Au attendant kept them in line, not dlowing them to get too near the candle, and ocoadondly joining their bands. Swn a wild looking, ema- ciated old man sprang into the oentre of the circle with a soream. After he had been divested of his outer garments he did not dance, but commenosd pointing with wild sort ams, at different persons in the room. He then placed his heel in the oentre of the burning oharcod until the smoke and odor of burning fleah filled the room. The per- formance waa rendered more cff .ctit e by hia continual streams and by the unearthly noise of the tambourioea. He then with- drew his foot, snd a redhot shovel Jiaviog been handed to him, he rapidly struck u with his open hand and then drew his fingw slowly across it, prodndng, probably, a dight blister. A heavy sharp pointed in- strument wa? then handed to him, which tbe old man placed against his abdomen and proceeded to pound against the other end with a heavy brick, whioh he broke into several fragments. He then, with app.ir- eatly great effort, pretended t j withdraw it, but as its withdrawal was not followed by blood, and as he immediately covered up the spot with his clothing, we concluded that the instrument did no: penetrat)t^e flesh at dl. He then kissed the priest and ran into an adjoining apartment, where he placed his foot in water and af Ctr ivard re- sumed his seat with the others. Meanwhile the three dancers, who had continued hobbling wildly up and down, had fallen to the floor in an exhausted con- dition and had been assisted ottt of the room by the attendants. The performers, though some were wild and emaOiated in appear anoe, did not show scars, and though those whose heads were not shaved showed irreg- ular losses of hair, as though it might tiave been pulled out, still they all appeared to be in fair physical condition. At tlus time there was a temporary lull in the proceed- ings. The tambourines continued to beat monotonously, and the habitues of the place were evidently awdting some new develop- ment. An Arab iriio aat near me sp^ke to me in French, saying: "Watch that old m n: he is tiie best pwformer of the party " The man in question was a fine looking old AxA richly dressed, weariag spectacles, who was STBOKOrO HIS LOKO ORAT BBABD and amiling serenely. Near him waa an- other old man, watcliing the prooeedii^;s. Toe chief evidently did avaiy thug in hia power to exdte him.

Tbe headquarters f the sect are m Morocco. Toera, during the rdigous festival of last winter, the disciples of this creed rushed wildly through the streets, seizing living sheep, tearing them limb from limb and eat- ing ibe raw flosh. At that time Europeans were cautioned not to approach them. Their ptrforoianoes are said to be discountenanced by the more intelligent Arabs. â€" Boston Transer^t. Bob Bordette'g Ideal Old Man. Man nevsr attains hit ideal. He comes nearest it the day he leaves school all that year he hoVers around it in pleasant prox- imity. Sonetimei I think he quite attains it 01 commmcement day. But a year away from achool, he and Itis ideal part company. He saes it drifting farther away from his eager hands. I have, in my own brilliant and aggressive cai«er, pursued several fleeting ano more or less perfect ideals. From where I now stand, at the distance polo, I can see the majority of them scooting under the wire, and I feel that I am shut out. Cue, I can see, is yet m nearer dght, and I am very loth to see it get entirely away from me. I have my ideal.of physical psrfeetion in the aged. This is the manner of old man I want to be. I am not a tall man no v. I do soi really have to stand up to loak over the back of a car seat. I stand merely be- cause I see farther. Bat as I grow old I want to fat up. I want to develop a capa- cious bay window, so that ^hen my sum- mer vest is hanging on the line it will look like a schosner coming down "wing and wing." Then I can wear my watch in my fob, with a great big seal dangling from it like a bell clapper. I want to be short in the breath and wheeze when I climb up stairs, and puff and pant when I walk up hill, and havo to take two steps to cross the gutter. And I would wear a clawhammer coat, with wide lapels, all the time, and carry my hankerchiet in my hat. I would like my bdr to ram snow white or else fdl off, I am not very partic^ulir which. I would like my moustaoho to bleach out until it looked like a streak of flour across my lip. I beliere this is dL I think that is a pno'^ograph of the kind of an old man I would like to ba. This my ided old mzn. Cane and wherzy lauh, of course. Aid I am j lat as confident as I am that I will die rich that, as I grow old, I will â-  rival up and dry out until I look like a iiuestring with clothes on! "Ctood MMnlng."
