A Disguised Spirit.

Low, skeptical fellows are always
Exposing" spirits. The mediums
scarcely get hold of good thing, when
somebody comes grab game of some
sort and breaks up the seance. 1t Is not
very long since even Daniel Webster
was treated with signal discourtesy. A
base minded, scheming man obtained
entrance to seance where Daniel Web
ster habitually materialized, walking
from the cabinet across the room, look
ing as he had looked in life, but making
not the slightest sound of footstep.
This base-minded man tossed a number
of large trunk tacks, which have very
large heads and always fell point up
ward, upon the floor where Daniel Web
ster always walked. The consequence
was that when the expounder of the con-
stitution came out of the cabinet and
began to walk across the room he sud-
denly paused, and, lifting one foot, APP
piled his hand to the sole thereof. Up
on taking another step he paused again,
and in low voice remarked couch I"
Shortly after this he lost his balance and
sat down on the floor, and Immediately
became very profane, and retreated into
the cabinet greatly disgusted.-Every

Education In France.

They may well say in France that the
schoolmaster is abroad-in Germany,
probably. The recent reports presented
to the Assembly show that in full sight
of Paris is town only one of whose
Municipal Councillors can read; of /, 200
inhabitants in another in Charente- In
ferieure only six can spell and four read
writing; only few rich landholders in
another of 1000 souls In Vienne can
read, and so on. Before compulsory
education can be attempted to be en-
forced, it will be necessary to build
1890 parish schools, to enlarge 5, 458,
to repair 1871, and to put ordinary fur
niture into 1857. OF the existing schools
thousands are literally novels and caves
in the earth. Some have no light save
what comes in at the door; in one of
these it was impossible to hold recita-
tions on thirty-nine days in session of
fifty. Another had to be entered on all
tours; q third had earthen seats and
desks. In another case, not even cav
ern being handy, the master used to lead
his flock across the line into Spain,
where an eligible nook existed. There
are schools kept in wineshops, police
stations, dancing rooms, under church
porch, in a stable (held there for
warmth), in kitchen. In one case the
schoolmaster's wife had been confined in
the sole room, which was academy and
dwelling; in another his pig occupied
part of the apartment. And yet ia

A FACT mentioned in the Edinburgh
Review, in an article headed "The
Present and the Future of the East" is
highly instructive as to the tolerance
practiced by Russia in matters of relig-
ion. The writer remarks that no min
lister of another faith than that of the
orthodox church can even enter the
Russian dominions without the express
permission of the Emperor. Just be-
fore the late war, the Anglican Bishop
of Gibraltar wanted to proceed to Odes-
sa to confirm the children of British
subjects residing there, but the neces-
sary Elsa of his passport was perempto-
rily refused, although the British Am
bassador at Constantinople personally
exerted himself to obtain it. Gen. Ig-
natieff said he had not the power to
grant the visa necessary to enter Russia
to foreign clergyman.

AT length the Chinese, in spite of the
prejudice and superstition of centuries,
appear DESTROYS of utilizing the valuable
coal and iron deposits of the empire.
A native company is about to develop
the rich coal mines of the province of
Shantung. The coal and iron known to
exist in the province of Chill, to the
northwest of Tientsin, are also to be
mined on an extensive scale. If these
enterprises prove successful, the effect
upon the social and commercial condi-
ton of China will be incalculable.

The contest for the new House as
sumes unusual Importance from the fact
that it is quite within the range OF pos
sibilities for the next President to be
elected by that body, in default OF any
candidates getting majority of the
Electoral College. In the chaotic con-
dition of the old parties it is not unlike
ly that third organization may prove
capable of carrying some States, and
thereby throw the election Of President
into the House. In such case each
State casts one vote, and twenty States
will be required to elect. If the present
House were called upon to choose a
President to-day, there would be dead
lock, as each party controls the delega-
tions of eighteen States, and Florida and
California are equally divided.

How We Treat Our Brains.

Almost daily am in contention with
parents and guardians, schoolmasters
and schoolmistresses, clergymen and
professors, youths and maidens, boys
and girls, concerning the right way of
building up the young brain, of ripen-
ing the adult brain, and of preserving
the brain in age. Grievously i'll do we
take in hand to deal with this delicate
member, and we'll is it that innate de-
veiopment overruns our schemes and
brings the variety of natural good out of
the monotony of human folly. 1t is
dimly felt by society that the reign of
bone and muscle is over, and that the
reign of brain and nerve is taking its
place. Even the Giteonites now have
the hydraulic ram and the steam telling
machine; the specialized General of
forces fights in his tent by click of bat
terry and wire, and his Lieutenant hoists
an ironclad by the touch of two buttons
upon his waistcoat; the patient earth for
gets the tread of horse and OK, and is
plowed by steam, and ere long, no
doubt, our ministers will wind sermons
out of barrel-organs, and our morning
egg will be broken for us by wafer of
dynamite. Hence it comes that all
classes are for "education u The vii
lage grocer's son goes to theological
college," and sits up by night over his
"evidences" with green tea in his blood
and wet cloth about his brows. The
gardeners daughter pulls roses no more,
and has become a pil-teacher; she is
chlorotic at 16, and broken-spirited at
%. The country parsons son goes to
civil service or navy "coach," is
plucked in his teens, and Is left to begin
life again with an exhausted brain and
an incurable megrim; nay, even the sons
of peers are putting on the armor of
light, and are deserving the field for the
counting house. To meet this demand,
colleges of all kinds and degrees spring
up middle-class seminaries, theolog-
ical colleges, colleges of science, uni
versity boards-even the old universe
ties themselves are stirring from their
scholarly ease, are sending out mission
aries in partibus, and are examining the
youth of twenty counties in the art of
making most show with least learning
All this, in a way, no doubt, must be
and should be; but so sudden a volte-
face cannot be made without a wrench,
and it is my desire now to see where the
strain will tell, and how to perform our
social evolution with the least injury to
/ persons.-Dr. Z. a. About, in Popular
Science Monthly for June.

The United States Patent Office at
Washington indicates more prosperity
this year than at any other period in its
history. From Jan. to May its re-
ceipts were 1858, 1853. The expenditures
during the same time, exclusive of
$45, 900 paid for repairing models in
iured by last years fire, were $1SS, 377,
leaving surplus to its credit of $75, 5S5.
Last year the surplus for the whole
twelve months was only 1921 900. The
Office has now in the United States
treasury to it's credit funds amounting
to 81, 1885, 07.

A llistriOnic Feat.

A remarkable feat was accomplished
some years ago, says Al the Year
Round, by John Sloman, actor, singer
and manager of the five theaters consti-
tuting the Kent circuit, who, while play
ing at Canterbury, made a wager that
he would act Tom in the interlude of
Intrigue" and sing comic song in
three of his theaters on the same night,
between the hours of and IL. The
theaters selected were those of Canter-
bury, Rochester and Maidstone, between
which places there was at that time no rail-
way communication. On the appointed
evening the curtain rose at Canterbury
exactly at Z; Sloman went through his
part and sanga comic song, then jumped
into postchaise and made for Rocbes-
ter as fast as four good horses could take
him, reaching that town in an hour and
forty Enthusiastically good work con-
sidering the distance was twenty-six
miles, and he was obliged to halt at Sit
tingbourne to change horses. Part of
the company had been sent on before,
and they were ready to ring-up as soon
as the manager arrived. The interlude
was played, the song sung, and Sloman
posted to Maidstone, eight miles, in
forty four minutes, TO be welcomed by q
house crowded to the ceiling, and win
his f100 by getting through his task
with fifteen minutes to spare.

An Associated Press telegram from
Washington says: "The Evening Star
has an elaborate article on the resump-
ton Of specie payments, which is be-
lieved to have had the sanction of the
Secretary Of the Treasury. 1t is said
that there can be nothing in the way of
the Secretary having in the treasury
next January the amount of coin for re-.
Stunning he has calculated on, namely,
$2O5, 900, 900. With this amount he
can, without difficulty, redeem the then
outstanding $685., 200, 600 in greenbacks.
The Secretary does not anticipate that
he will be called upon to redeem more
than $102, 900, 600, but is securing coin
to meet any emergency. It is thought
that greenbacks, being redeemable in
gold or silver, will be preferred by the
people to bulk coin. The only thing
that keeps gold above par is, likely, the
fact that custom duties are payable alone
in this coin, and the chances are that
the passage of bill making greenbacks
receivable for such duties will cause the
slight premium to disappear. The i'm
ports are larger than the exports, MAX
ing the balance of trade in our favor.
The yearly gold payments by the Gov
eminent for the interest on bonds is
about 800, 900, 900, which is more than
covered by the receipts from customs,
which are not calculated for use in re-
sumption. The national banks will also
have to resume. Their total circulation
is about 1929, 240, 475; deposits, $685.
575,577, making their total liabilities
aboct $500, 816,05 Their total cash
resources, including the 5-per-cent. re-
demption fund in the treasury, as re-
quired by law, are about $3.50. POI, 055.
Every dollar of their notes is secured
by United States bonds to an amount at
least 10 per cent. greater than the
amount of notes outstanding. These
bonds are of ready sale, and can, in the
ordinary course of business, be easily
converted into any kind of money. In
banks other than national there are de-
posits of some 81, 500, 10000 These are
private and individual banks, however,
and their liabilities are not in any way
connected with the Government"

AN interesting case has recently been
disposed of by the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court. A lady riding in a street-car had
to stand up. The car stopped suddenly,
and she fell over, breaking herknee-pan.
She sued for damages. The company
claimed contributory negligence on her
part in that she did not take hold of the
strap that is provided for standing pas
sengers. She set up, on the other hand,
that she could not reach cor hold the
strap owing to the stays which she wore,
and that with the present fashions no
lady could do so, at least without incon-
venience and possibly injury. The lower
court decided that the lady, in taking
hold of fellow passengers hand, had
done all that was necessary, and that,
under the circumstances, she was not
obliged to stretch up to the strap. 1t
awarded her $1,000, and the Supreme
Court, reviewing the case, declines to
interfere.

THE Cologne Gazette estimates the
army which Russia can place in the field
at present at6OO, 900 men. This strength
may be maintained, but cannot be in
creased. The Russian forces now in
European Turkey and Roumania amount
to twelve and half army corps-312,-
900 men. About 100, men must be
employed for the occupation of Asiatic
Turkey; so that only seven and half
army corps-1S7, 500 men-remain still
disposable. In case of war with En-
gland the Russian troops could not be
withdrawn from Turkey and Roumania.
The disposable seven and a half army
corps would then be employed for occu-
plying the coasts of the Black sea and the
Baltic. Poland and st. Petersburg and
Moscow, where recent events have shown
the presence of very dangerous elements,
would also require strong garrisons.

AN exhibition of the photograph was

AN exhibition of the photograph was
advertised as part of benefit per-
Torrance in the Grand Opera House,
San Francisco. Sol Smith Russell
made an address explanatory of Edison's
invention, and then a box was placed on
table. Russell turned a crank, and
from the box came talk in tones like
those of various public men we'll known
in the city. The audience soon discov-
cred that an actor, concealed under the
table, was giving limitations. Almost a
riot ensued, the people refusing to view
the deception as good joke.
