THE last annual report of Hon.
Abram b. Weaver, State Superinten.
dent ofPublic Instruction of New York,
contains an interesting discussion of the
subject of Compulsory Attendance
at School," After stating briefly the
argument in favor of the compulsory
system, he reviews its history and sue.
cess. 1t has been thoroughly tested in
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzer.
land, except in four cantons, Prussia,
where it has been in force for century,
and in several other German States.
The success of the system in increasing
school attendance in these countries is
questioned. Mr.. Weaver thinks that
the Well-nigh universal education of
Prussia is due more to sincere and un-
animous belief in the value of educa.
tion than to the compulsory law. Uni
versal education is provided for Sin a
plan which employs every known facil-
ity and adopts every discovered i'm.
provement." The work of instruction
is intrusted to corps of thoroughly
trained teachers, and the supervision of
the system commands the services of
the best talent of the nation. The high
estimation in which the schools are held
secures Attendance. The example of
Holland il cited as a confirmation of
this view. School attendance in Hol-
land has never been enjoined by law,
and yet every adult citizen can read
and write" The success of compulsion
Is not observable in Switzerland, Ed
ucation Is as nearly universal in the
cantons of Geneva, Switz, Uri, and I'm
terwalden, where the voluntary system
prevails, as in the other cantons. Mr..
Weaver next contrasts the school atten-
dance of New York and Prussia. He
presents statistics showing that in 1870
more than eighty (?) per cent. of all
children within the State, between the
ages of five and twenty.one years, at.
tended some public or private school,
and those enrolled in public schools at
tended for an average of four months.
lie estimates the attendance of youth
in New York, between six and fourteen
1.-THE school period in Prussia as high
as ninety per cent. The number of pu.
pills enrolled IN the school in 1870 was
greater than the whole humber of per-
sons in the State, between the ages of
six and sixteen. These examples and
figures certainly makea creditable show
ing for the voluntary system, and we
hope that some competent person will
pursue the Investigation. Let us have
the facts. The compulsory system has
been attempted in Frauce, Austria,
Spain, Portugal, and Italy, but "has
wholly or partially failed" Austria
has again adopted the system, and Tur-
key now enjoins school attendance.
Compulsion in education has never been
adopted in the United States, except in
the form of laws relating to truant and
vagrant children, and even these law rs
have not generally been executed. Mr.
Weaver urges that our schools should
be made better "beiore resorting to the
doubtful experiment of compulslon."-

SHOT AS A MEDIcINE.-Dr.M Maydieu,
of France, has revived the old practice
of giving shot for bilious collie. His
method is, to take No. shot after care
fully washing them with sweet oil, and
give desert spoonful every half hour.
lie claims that in five or six hours the
vomiting ceases. The editor of the
Pacific Medical and Surgical Journal
relates the following anecdOte, illustra-
tive of this treatment: A clergyman
was taken very sick and stopped at the
house Of good old lady who was
familiar with the treatment, who stated
that she had no shot, buta bullet which
would answer the purpose. She gave
ii to the divine, who after being assur,
ed Of its great efficacy, swallowed it
and to his joy and surprise found that
in very short time he was entirely re
lieved of the collie. Before leaving h,
expressed some doubt to the old lad,
about the piece of lead so heavy finding
Its way through the bowels. "Oh
my" she replied, you need have n,
anxiety about that, as it has beer
through me ten or twelve times"

ious and shaky; he never stands on his

The chimpanzee Is the first of the
man.like apes that was ever brought
alive to Europe. One, supposed to be
a satyr, was presented to the Prince of
Orange about the year 1910. Chimpan.
zees resemble gibbons in some Of their
habits, and orangs in others. They oc.
casionally stand and walk but when
they see man they take to all.fours,
no doubt to increase their pace, and flee.
The position assumed by the animals
when standing is not erect, but leaning
forward, with the hands clasped at the
back OF the head or across the loins,
which seems necessary to their balance
or ease of posture. The toes are strong
ly flcxcd and turned inwards, showing
that the full. expansion of the foot
necessary for walking is not natural to
these animals. The chimpanzees are,
In fact, tree apes, swinging, like the glib
bon, with astonishing agility. Like the
orangs, they construct nests. They are
generally seen in companies of four or
five together, though it is said that they
occasionally assemble in large mum bers
for the purpose of amusing themselves.
Tho entertainment at their pleasure
parties consists for einost part of hoot.
ing and screaming, and drumming with
sticks on old logs of wood, for which
purpose they use their hands and feet.
They never attack man and when pur.
sued they seldom defend themselves. If
compelled to do so, they use their teeth
like the gibbons. They exhibit re.
markable degree of intelligence; thus,
when in danger, they have been known
to motion to the hunter with the hand
to go away, in the manner of human
being. When wounded, they press
their hands to the part, aud apply grass
and leaves to stanch the flow of blood.
The natives have tradition that they
were formerly men, who were expelled
from their tribe on account of their de-
PRAYED habits.

POetical.
Unto Thee.


When all the world seems nothing worth
And hope and pleasure fade and flee
When oll is doubt upon the earth,
And all Is darkness on the sea.
Where should come, but unto thee.
God who keeps me?
This burning soul, so long repressed,
That longs to pour itself, and weep,
And on some kind supporting breast
To Sigh and sob itself to sleep
Where should bring but unto thee,
God who nearest me?
These lettering bonds of toll and care.
Which make the striving spirit faint;
Ills load seems too much to bear;
rus trembling gush of deep complaint
Where should bring but unto thee.
God who pitiest meP
rus heart that mourns its death above.
lliat aches with hungry emptiness,
Ihat these poor husks of earthly love
Have failed TO satisfy or bless
Where should bring but unto thee.
God' who lowest me?
U Friend above all other friendsl
love beyond all other lowest
lhy peace into my life descends;
My heart beats calmly as n doyo,s.
When all my woes bring to thee,
U God who healcst me.

Spare the Birds.

Don't kill the little birds,
Who sing on bush and tree.
All through the summer days,
Thelr sweetest melody.
Don't shoot the little birds
The earth is Gods estate
And He provldeth food
For small as well as great,
Don't Kill the little birds
Whose plumage wings tho air.
Whose thrill at early morn,
Wakes music everywhere.
what though the cherries fall,
Half eaten from the stem?
And strawberries disappear,
In garden field and glen
SUI like the Widows crust,
There Is always plenty left;
How sad world were this
Oflittle birds beret.
Think of the good they do
In all the orchards round,
a grub we scarcely find,
Where robbins most abound.
In this great world of ours,
If we can trust His word,
There's food enough for all
Don't kill a single bird!

The total subscriptions to the new loan
reported up to last evening were, in
round numbers, sixty three million dollars
These, it should be remembered. are to the
five per cents only, and consist in great
part Of conversions of five-twenty six per cents,
which the holders are willing to exchange for
the new bonds rather than take the chances OF
arrangement of their investment, as threat
ened by the refunding process Curiously
enough the subscriptions are in great part
from the national banks, or those of them who
prefer to take the bonds at five per cent and
insure their privileges of banking upon them
for ten years longer. But then the national
banks represent a capital Of about three hun
dred and fifty million dollars. The inference
lie that even to these institutions, with whom
many more reasons exist for subscribing than
the general public, the loan is not very attrac-
tive. AT least only oue-seventh Of their capital

McxicO-Her Manifest Destiny.

The present condition of the republic OF
Mexico gives no promise for the future other
than that of anarchy. She has trodden the
downward path with such rapid strides as to
render stoppage almost impossible. AS n
nation she has reached almost the depths Of
degradation, and her leaders appear deter
mined to complete the destruction. Profting
nothing by her experience during the late
French invasion showing no appreciation for
being freed from the rule Of an Emperor, and
failing to follow the example set by her sister
republic Of the United States, she has per-
mitted civil war to exist almost constantly
since the fall and execution Of Macmillan.
If not in the whole country 1t has been in
several of her States and this condition OF
affairs has continued until she has be-
come utterly bankrupt, without credit
either at home or abroad. She oom-
mands no respect from foreign Powers;
in fact Mexico has become, as it were,
q blot upon the face of the earth-a foul
hlotch, that will have to be wiped out Sho
cannot be allowed much longer to stop tho
progress Of civilization or to impede the march
of enlightenment Something must be dono
ere long to end her present condition and
place her people in the right path-in the road
to prosperity and wealth, In the way to make
themselves once more respected. And now
the question arises, how is this to be accom-
plishedP When Napoleon inaugurated his ex-
petition to Mexico for the purpose Of conquer
ing that country and establishing an empire
he openly declared 1t was for the purpose OF
of America. How signally he failed therein
has become matter of history. Since tho
empire Of his creation ceased to exist--net 81
much by the act of the Mexican people as b.
