PnbUe Behoal Votl.v - - -To avoid misunderstanding between the patrons and teachers of our school, we desire to place before the patrons an old but important rule of the school; . It is this : ' Teachers are to require ex cuses from parents or guardians of pupils either in person or by written note, in all cases of absence or tardiness, or dis missal before the close of school, and no excuse shall be deemed valid except that of sickness, ; or very necessary employ ment. .' ; ' ' ' The teacher shall be the judge of the sufficiency of the excuse, subject to an appeal to the directors. When the unexcused half day's ab sence, and tardy marks of any pupil shall aggregate four in any four consecu tive weeks, the teacher may suspend him until he may gain the permission of the directors and principal for readmission, or. the ' teacher may employ any other appropriate punishment. ... 3-J4dwlt The-Oldest Hans in Oregon. . The Astorian says '.'The oldest .house in Oregon," is the title of an item in an an exchange which - locates that most ancient domicile in Oregon city. But there is a house in Oregon older than that. ,: It is a house not built with hands, bnt is not eternal in the heavens. ' It is very solid and stands about twenty miles from this city. It was built by the great designer and architect of the universe, or by one conversant with His system and plan; It was once a giant spruce tree, but two or three centuries ago the top broke off It was then hollowed gradually out by fire, and in the course of years there was a hollow place inside of the trunk about twenty feet in diameter. A wanderer who squatted and finally took up the tree claim on which the tree stood hewed it out and made it habitable, put in a floor, door, and windows, and there it stands, the oldest house in Oregon. It was a little growth when Columbus dis covered America. "It was a lusty young tree when Cortez found the Pacific ocean and stood silent upon a peak in Darien ; its branches tossed aloft when the Puri taiislbuilt'tbeir campoody by Plymouth Rock ; it was a giant of the forest when the Declaration of Independence was signed ; it was huge in. its growth and great in its dimentions when the Colum bia river was discovered: -Through six centuries it has stood and may stand six more. It is worth a visit, and till some one else jumps up an older structure of human habitation the Astorian holds this to be "the oldest house in Oregon." ' Two Brothers la m Battle. War means hot only public but private calamity. -Through its means nations are convulsed and family relations sev ered. During the Peninsular war one of the ' generals, observing" the numerous cavalry against which, his brigade had to contend, advised the officers in com mand not to weaken their ranks by con ducting prisoners to the rear, but after disarming them to let them, proceed of their own accord. It. was not .uncom mon, therefore, to see groups of French dragoons riding quietly to. the rear, look ing for some one to take them in charge. . : it happened, at" one time, that a cer tain hussar, having taken a prisoner ordered him also to fall back, but the man, having ridden some little distance, as directed, suddenly applied spurs to his horse and made a detour, to his regiment . The hussar , observing this, as quickly pursued, overtook him and shot him dead. Having secured his reint he conveyed him some little distance to the rear and proceeded to take off the dead man's valise. There, - on overhauling its con tents, he found a letter from his own father, which proved that it was his brother who had fallen by hia hands. ' Stupefied with horror, he sat motion less and speechless for some minutes then big tears rolled down bis cheeks, and be exclaimed. "The king has com manded, and ttod will forgive uier He put spurs to his horse and rushed headlong into battle. That very day be was killed near the spot where ne had innocently shot his ' brother. - Youth s Companion Newspapers of the World.

Paper - The Boaemarjr at a Wedding.' In the island of Crete, it is said, a bride dressed for the wedding a till calls, last of all, for a sprig of rosemary to bring her lock. And now we come, to find rosemary in close association with both marriage and death, just as the hy acinth was, and perhaps ' still is, among the Greeks.
