The Detroit Free Press wisely OBJ
serves that it is not the newspapers
which Sare alone interested in keeping
the price of paper at moderate figure.
The price of cheaper school-books will
be affected by the high cost of paper.
So will all hand-bills, posters and other
Job work of the common sort, which
naturally affects the interests and purses
of the greatest number of people. 1t is
a blow at the poorer classes of the
people of moderate means, and touches
the pockets of the masses rather than
the wealthy.

The New Kind Of School.

The dicipline of the Quincy schools
of Boston astonishes the old-fashioned
teachers. While it was being explained
by one of the committee the other day,
an old teacher objected, but-this is
very noisy" Precisely, madam this is
a workshop, not funeral. You can't
have beehive without a buzz"
And" continued the critic, "that
little boy in the plaid jacket whispered
TO the little girl in white" ."Quite
likely, madam; we can readily find an
excuse, for bright-eyed, curly-headed,
rosy-cheeked little boys will whisper to
little girls in white. I'VE once had a
tendency in that direction ourselves,
and we do not see any occasion for pound
ing him or shaking him, or standing
him in the corner, or putting him in q

The SOko-Is He Man or Beast!


The tribes of Central Africa, all
along the Livingstone River from Ny
angwe to the cataracts, declared the
Soko to be a monkey, and as such
hunted it and ate it. They hunted and
ate men, too, it is true; but then they
distinguished the one from the other,
and never mistook men for monkeys.
Mr.. Stanley, however, brought home
the skulls of two "Sokos," which had
been eaten by an affable chief with
whom he foregathered one day,
and Prof. Huxley at once pronounced
them to be human. Was Africa in
conspiracy to play of a practical joke
upon the explorer, or is European
science wrong in its differentiation Of
man ard ape? The gorilla mas long been
degraded to its proper rank, and the
"mum" of Sind turned out to be no
nearer man than bear. But Cen
trail America has come forward with the
Susumeta, and so far as descriptions 60,
this animal or person, would appear to
come as near curse yes as the SOkO, fol
the other natives of the fsrest, whom We
call men and women, call the Susumeta
human Mr.. Auguste of Cay ayers that
he saw one killed, and has never beer
able to shake off the idea that homicide
was committed, adding that 1.-THE ami
NAL was as much human as himself"

The New England manufacturers and
merchants who favor the re-enactmcnt
of a National bankrupt law have made
good progress in creating Il sentiment in
favor.of the movement, and at a meeting
held in Boston, it was announced that
the business community generally ap-
prove of it. The State laws differ, and
all of them are cumbrous. The need OF
a National law, purged of the errors of
the former one, seems to be recognized.
Leading merchants of New York have
petitioncd Congress for the passage of
suitable law. The movement in the
East seems to be general in this matter.

WEALTHY farmer in Maryland

A WEALTHY farmer in Maryland,
forty-fve years of age, has married
girl of twelve, distant relation, and
there is talk of arresting or tarring and
feathering him, though the reporter who
sent the news ingenuously says it is not
known on what charge he can be arrested.
If that is the case it is presumed the
virtuous people of Maryland will tar
and feather him on general principles.
That is the way they will get even with
the law. There. is nothing like asserting
virtue. If the law is in the way 50 much
the worse for the law.

One of the members of the club said: "The
$4,000 appropriated for the station will
save the farmers 100000 year, Often
farms side by side will not grow the same
grain, and what the farmers want to know
is what manure or fertilizer will make the
land productive. When one crop IS sown
continuously for number of years on the
same land the soil becomes sick and will
not yield the crop again for perhaps ten or
twelve years, no matter if it is sown every
year. What we want is the remedy for
these things"
