A Non.part,san Opinion.

EDS. RECORD UNION The columns Of
opened to correspondents upon school mat
tiers, it is my intention to state briefly my
opinion upon the question as the case now
stands. The citizens and patrons of the pub
lie schools have always taken deep interest,
have always responded freely when called
upon to pay taxes never oDjecsing to the
sum to be raised to be expended in the inter
est of the schools, and the raid has
always been for liberal course of study. A
few years ago we had music. drawing and
penmanship introduced in our schools, and
the result was almost universally favored as
a progressive movement. These, however,
have all been dropped in the past two or
three years. Now favored Mr.. Felter's
proposition to ignore any political move in
making up ticket, and allow the patrons of
the schools an opportunity to select Di-
rsctor to serve who were known to
favor liberal course of studies,
and at the same time to select
men, who had the entire confidence Of the
people of Sacramento; this is what was
needed /; the people demanded it, Now, what
has been the consequence of this awakening
in the line of public interest? The Republi-
ticket; and they evidently, before making
the nominations, had studied the situation
and come to the unanimous conclusion that if
the majority of the committee favored the old
plan of making the nominations, that the
ticket so nominated must be unexceptionable
men of character, and pledged to maintaiH
and bring the public schools up to higher
standard than they'had been of late. The
nominations are good. No citizen-Democrat
or Republican-can or should object to the
ticket, from DIR. Lame for City Superintend.
emit down to Felix Tracy for Fourth Ward
Director. 1t is the best ticket from top to
bottom that has been presented to us for
many years, and there is no need of looking
any further for men better qualified to fill the
wants and requirements Of the school depart
ment; and it is to be hoped that this election
will result in the unanimous choice of the
ticket that has been presented by the Repub.
ican Committee. The Democrats have met
and adjourned without making nominations,
thus virtually acknowledging that they have
no better names to present to the people than
the ticket now before them, and so did the
Fourth Ward call end last week.

What Is Nickel!

Since the convenient Scent coin which
in common talk is called I" a nickel has
come into general circulation, the ques-
ton above is asked either mentally or
orally hundreds OF times every day, and
but few get an intelligent answer. In
China and India, white copper, called
pack tong, has long been known and has
been extensively used both there and in
Europe for counterfeiting silver coin.
About the year 100 peculiar ore was
discovered in the copper mines of Sax
ony which had the appearance of being
very rich, but in smelling 1t yielded no
copper, and the miners called II kupfer-
nickel, or false copper. Ia 1854 Cron.
stadt announced the discovery of new
metal in kupfer-nickel, 10 which he gave
the name of nickel. 1t was ia combina-
ton with arsenic from which he could
relieve it only in parts. The alloy of
nickel and arsenic which he obtained
was white, brittle and very hard, and
had a melting point nearly as high as
cast-iron 1t was not until 1898 that
pure nickel was obtained Ivy analysis of
German silver, which had for number
of years been produced ut Suhl in
SaXony. It's composition was ascer-
tanned to be copper 10 parts, zinc 8,
and nickel A. Ii more nickel be used
the alloy is as white as silver and sus-
ceptible of very high polish, but be-
comes too brittle and hard to be ham,
mered or rolled, and can be
worked only by casting. Pure
rickel is a white metal which furnishes
readily in the air. Unlike silver, it is
not acted on by the vapor of sulphur,
and even the strong mineral acids at
tract It but slightly. Nickel has the
hardness of iron, and, like it, has strong
magnetic properties, but cannot be
welded, and is soldered with difficulty.
Pure nickel has heretofore been used
chiefly for plating, for which purpose its
hardness and power to resist atmos-
pheric influences admirably adapt it.
Within the last year the French have
succeeded in rolling the metal into
plates, from which spoons and other ia
bile furniture may be pressed. Nickel

The Famous Three Mares or MOham-
med a Myth.

The Arabians believe with sincere
faith that their finest horses are direct
descendants from the famous mares of
their great prophet, Mohammed; but
this is about as much a matter of fact
as that he was the inspired prophet of
God. Count Lecaulterx de Canteleu.
OF France, has made q special study of
this tradition, and, in the Reveue Brit
antique, atlirns, that when Moham-
med fled from Mecca to Medina to save
himself from assassination the only ami
mails he had were nine camels. 9th
er writer's assert that he never had either
mare or horse, and that it was some
time after his death before horses were
made use of in Arabian armies. Hith-
erto they had employed dromedaries
alone for swift movements, and camels
for the transportation of baggage and
arms. The Arabians are nh excitable
people, with any amount Of credulity
aud gasconade. The braggadocio sto.
ries they get up OF the great perform
nnces of their horses must be taken with
considerable allowance, a it Is impOssi-

The following, from the French, gives
q comical description OF the miseries of
tenor's wife:
Yes, Jenny, we have 10000 francs
year; the praises OF my husband are
sounded every day in the newspapers, lac
is applauded every night he sings, and is
very king IN his art. But you don't

Those who hatter my husband, and they
are numerous. are necessarily telling
him, Monsieur Michael, you have mine

be true l don't say it is not, but if you
could understand what consequences il
entails---a mine of diamonds III q man.

bear because OF the temperature. A bar
ometer is less variable. He is con-
tinually opening and shutting the win
dows when they are open he wants
them shut, and when they are shut he
says he STILES. You have no idea of the
trouble we have at hotels To prevent his
taking cold. Even the style Of carpet
becomes study. And the carloads of
furs we carry about with US. And the
difficulty we have with the tires. There
is also long chapter as to what he may

and may not eat this is too strong and
that too weak. On the night he sings,
there is sirup which he must drink
five times during an act, land a wash OF
brandy and camphor with which to
rub his throat. From morning III night
tenor thinks of nothing but himself
he listens to himself sing; he studies
poses before looking-giuss he calls
