Matters of general interest were discussed, as
for example, the subject of making uniform
the school records and other statistics, and
whether practical uniformity in such details
shall be reached. The best methods of meet
ing the requirements Of the school board and
the statutes of the State in regard to school
statistics were considered. The general opin-
ion expressed was that, while all may now
have good methods, practical uniformity in the
same system of schools is desirable
On motion, the following committee was ap-
pointed by the chair to take into consideration
the matter of unifying school records, to report
early the next school year. Messrs D. H.

The Milky Way.

Many astronomers, from Herschel
downward, have spent much time in
observing and specializing upon the
structure and functions OF the great
stellar streams known as the Galaxy or
Milky Way. This part of the heavens
has recently been made an object Of
careful study by NJ. Houzeau. of Brus-
sells Observatory. He has indicated its
composition by means of curves Of
equal luminous intensity. Looking cas-
ually at the Milky Way, one might he
disposed to think its luminosity nearly
the same throughout. But NJ. Houzeau
finds it a series of luminous plates or
masses, to the number of thirty-three.

"Dat ar rooster am de berry same
one dat mus been spirited often de
roost of Mrs. Bennett, TO shuah," said
the venerable David Brown in Justice
Paulin's Court in Newark, Saturday
afternoon. Il knowed it by de winkin'
of de offeye. A niggah ez can't ketch
onto de pints in chicken amt WORT
muffin. Judge, l ken swar to dat
rooster wild my las breff."
Mr.. Brown was witness in the case
of Hittell against Bennett. The COM
plainant, q comely widow. sought to
have the defendant convicted Of breach
of the peace. for calling her chicken
thief. 1t was shown by the testimony
that Mrs. Bennett lost white rooster
last spring. and that recently she saw
in Mrs. Hittelrs yard what she was sure
was the missing chanticleer. She es-
sayed to take possession of it, but Mrs
Hittell foiled her. Then followed
much vituperative language, and all
the women in the neighborhood got ex-
cited over the affair. Some folks as
serted that Mrs. Bennett ought to know
the fowl that she brought up from the
egg; others insisted that the fact that
the chantieleer stayed on Mrs. Hittelrs
roost for seven months proved that it
was her property, while not few init
mated that it was strange that David
Brown obtained white rooster at the
time that Mrs. Benefits favorite dis
appeared.
Mrs. Hittell and Mrs. Bennett were
represented in court BY lawyers. and
nine white women. three cOlored aunt
les, two white men and David Brown
were present rs witnesses. A crowd Of
lawyers and politicians gathered as
spectators. David Brown was certain
that he recognized the rooster as the
property of Mrs. Bennett. He four
times offered her 81 for it. and finally
bought one like it just as hers disap-
peared.
Are YOU an expert on rOOsters?"
asked Mrs. Hittell's lawyer.
81 reckon is" was the reply. ''coz
ketched 'em in de woods on de ole
plantation"
Gould you tell your rooster from
Mrs. Hittelrs if they were put in room
together?"

said the LAWYER. '.for he has no sense"
Use got more sense than 4 lawyer

After all the witnesses had testified.
Judge Paulin dismissed the case. and
advised the women to go home and be
friends. They paid each IS to a law
yer, besides costs Of court, and twenty
men and women were kept in court six
hours. The rooster wasn't worth dol

Economy In Dress.


color or any other cause, should be
adopted only by woman who has
many changes of rajment, and SO may
wear il only occasionally, or the sight
of it becomes bore. even if at first it
is interesting from its novelty. The
woman who has many dresses can
afford also to give it away or convert ii
to some other use before it is worn.
while the unobtrusive dress easily
lends itself to some different adjust
ment, which gives it an entirely new
aspect.
A woman who has but one best gown
can "wear it with difference like
the rue Ophelia offers TO her brother,
so as to make it suitable to many occa-
sions. especially ii she have two waists,
or ''bodies, rs the English call them.
One skirt will easily outlast two waists,
and therefore this is a real saving. But
suppose that there be but one waist, or
the dress be made all in one piece
(than which there is no prettierfashion),
and it should be worn one day high in
the neck, with collar and cuffs. on
another day with the neck turned in.
and lace or muslin fichu gracefully
adjusted with bows or flowers. and 3
bit Of lace at the wrists. pair of long
gloves. and more elaborate dressing
of the hair, it will be scarcely recog-
nizable. But the dress must be OF q
very general character, like black silk.
or some dark color, or the pleasure of
the new impression is lost.
The wise person with small capital
never buys any but a good and lasting
thing. Each year she adds one or two
really solid possessions to her ward
robe, which, treated with care, last
her many wears. Thus on a really small
sum she may dress very beautifully.
Without a capital one is often obliged
TO buy what can last but for few
months; but there is choice even here.
There is certainly a great economy
in a woman's adopting for occasions of
ceremony one dress from which she
never DIVORCES. 1t becomes her char
acteristic, and there is even kind of
style and beauty in the idea. The
changing fashions in color and material
pass without affecting her. She is
never induced to buy ANYTHING because
it is new. She is always the same. The
dress in this case must have certain
simplicity. 1t costs her little thought
and little time, and when the old edi-
ton, becoming worn, gives way to the
new the change is not perceived. nor is
it noticed when the new in its turn be-
comes old.
Such dress as this must of course lie
within certain limits. Suppose it to be
a black velvet: it would last, with care,
at least FIVE or six years. Suppose it to
to be white cashmere-a dress of
small cost: it could. with care, last two
seasons; and then, cleaned. last another
season or two; and then dyed. be
turned into a walking dress to last two
