HORSE CLIPPING.

A DISCOVERY FOR WHICH WE ARE m
DEBTED TO THE PRINCIPALrrY OF
WALES.
Sands, the circus proprietor, was the
first to clip horses in this country, in
1874. There was opposition to the
practice at first, but experience proved
that clipped horses escaped many
maladies.to whichlthc animal Is subject,
such, for example, as the colds that
are taken from the congealing Of per-
spiration under thick coat of hair.
The clipped horse does not perspire SO
freely as the animal whose hair is slf-
fered to grow: he is, therefore, less
likely to catch cold after heating
drive in a freezing atmosphere. More
over, the clipped horses skin Is more
easily kept clean. This is the time of
clipping for the winter, and at two
establishments in this city the work Is
done. A knife is made to revolve over
a comb, cutting off the hair evenly as
| it projects above the teeth. Thus rap
idity and evenness of clipping is secpr-
ed, and there is no danger of cutting
the skin. A horse can be clipped in
this way with one machine in two or
three hours, but several machines may
be operated at once on the SAM
animal, thus greatly expediting I he
operation. The price varies and the
operation is usually repeated later in
the season. Horses used in running
races are not often clipped, because
they are not used in winter, and be-
cause their fine coats are not benefited
by the shortening of the hair.
The custom of clipping is believe ed
to have originated in Wales, where
rough-coated ponies are in use.-Er.

COSMOPOLITAN SCHOOLS.

San Francisco has but recently passed
through an exciting period, the question
being whether the Cosmopolitan Primary
Schools should be continued or abol-
ished. There was great agitation
among the German and French-born
citizens, who insisted that their native
languages should be taught in the pri-
mary public schools and paid for out of
the public treasury. The following reso.
lutions were finally adopted by vote of
to 5, and that PIT an end to the con-
troversy:
Resolved, That all languages other
than the English, hereafter taught in the
public schools of this city, shall be re-
stricted to the High Schools.
Resolved, That all teachers OF Ian
guages other than the English, whose
services are no longer required by this
Department, be and are hereby dis
missed.
The Genital idea of our common
school system is to afford an opportunity
to every child in our country to obtain
an English education. Inasmueh as the
English is the language of the country
that in which the laws of the States and
of Congress are printed and published
there can be no objection to teaching
those who are to succeed the present
generation knowledge of the English
first. German and French are accom-.
plishments-so are music and drawing
and we interpose no objection to any
child being taught either or all Of those
accomplishments, provided it is not done
at the public expense.

Leading Features Of the New Banking
Law.
CHICAGO, Jan. "a. - A Washington
special to the Inter-Ocean says the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency have come to o very important
conclusion. The Committee at first de-
cided against Kelley's bill and against
abolshing the national banking system.
Having settled these questions, the CON-
mittee then framed bill, of which the
following are the leading features:
First-That the restriction of the total
amount of banking circulation shall be
repealed, which is equivalent to author
izing free banking under the provisions
of the present law, except as modified by
the Committees bill.
Second-That the requirement that
banks shall keep reserve OF greenbacks
in their vaults to redeem their notes shall
be repealed, and that instead, every
bank shall deposit in the Treasury green
backs amounting to five per cent. of its
notes, and shall keep this reserve good.
Third-That the banks shall not be
allowed to pay or receive interest on de-
posts with each other.
Fourth-Thst country banks shall be
required to keep their deposit reserves at
home.
Fifth-That gold banks shall be al
lowed to issue notes to the amount OF
eighty per cent. only Of their bonds, in
stead Of ninety as at present.
1t is understood that only three men,
bers of the Committee voted against re-
porting the bill. They were Hawley,
Phelps and Mitchell
