A NOVEL EDUCATIONAL SCHEME.

NOVEL EDUCATIONAL SCHEME.
 : Signor Baccelli, the. Italian Minister of Edu- cation, believes in compelling the young Ital- fans to learn something, and in pursuance of this belief has thought out what seems to be ratter extraordinary plan, which he intends, it is stated, to present to the Italian Parlia- ment in November The Minister divides the Italian population into five classes, as follows Peasants and laborers; the artisans, the traders and the manufacturers; the land owners, who are subdivided into three sec tions, according to the respective amount of their rents. In the view of the Minister all citizens are equal as to their right to culture and all equal as to their obligation to con- form to the demand of the State upon them in this matter; but those who have leisure and wealth, and are freed from the pressure of daily toll for bread. ought to render more than those whose advantages are limited. The citizens of the first group, according to Signor Baccelli's project, are to be compelled to attend the first and second elementary classes. Those of the second group are to extend their period of learning until they have passed the third and fourth elementary classes Those of the third group, after completing the elementary course, are to be compelled to visit a gymnasium or technicum, and there acquire some degree of classical and technical culture, according to the choice of their parents or guardians. Citizens of the fourth group must proceed further to ly- ceum or to higher technical institute, so that every young man in the Italy of the fu- ture, amongst the Jews of old, may pos sess at least rudimentary fitness for an actual profession or trade. The citizens of the fifth group, which includes men of large fortune and the wealthier aristocracy, will be obliged to enter themselves in one of the scientific or literary faculties of the Univer- sites, and after obtaining their diploma, they must spend some time, after the ancient aca- demical custom, in foreign travel. The pen alties upon citizens of the two latter groups, in the event of their failing to comply with the requirements of the law, are severe enough. Those of the fourth group, if they reach certain stage without having passed an examination satisfactory to the education al authorities, will be deprived of certain civil and political rights, and condemned to a money fine of not less than one-fourth of their income. Citizens of the fifth class will be subjected to 8 corresponding penalty. Noblemen who fail to comply with the legal standard of education are to be deprived of the diploma of nobility, and will be punished if they continue to employ their former aris tocratic title.
 If this comprehensive plan could be car ried out it would make a new Italy, but it may be doubted whether it could be. It may, however, serve as the basis for some practical and benefcent educational scheme

AWheat Corner Closed.
The Cincinnati Clique to Leave Chicago Several Millions Richer.
 From the New York Sun

From the New York Sum-
 CHICAGO, Aug 31.-The great corner in August wheat closed this afternoon, and the Cincinnati manipulators will go home to- morrow several million dollars the richer The closing act was marked by decorum and quietness. The course of the market, In view of the fact that trick of some sort or a great flank movement might be sprung at any moment, was cratic. It opened weak and wa
 vering, but after slight fall in prices it ral- lied, and for the remainder of the day was quite firm on both wheat and corn. Rumors of hot wheat and the uncertainty of the future were not enough to bf sak down prices. No organized effort was made to break the price of cash wheat, and it re- mained steady to the last, 13S to 40 being
 the standard quotations. At noon it was re- ported that certain of the shorts had got out an injunction to prevent the clique from delivering the wheat on Au-
 gust contracts, but this was soon denied All who were caught prepared to take their medicine except J. M. Sey- | mour who, though his principal, J. A.Baker | of New York, sued out writ of injunction.
 Bakers loss is 800, 900. Nobody else failed | to come to terms, and the ring brokers made settlements with parties defaulting contracts | to the extent of one million bushels. The l clique protected itself to day by taking from 1 the elevators the wheat about which there | was any doubt. They still maintain that | there is no hot wheat in store, but admit that | there is some which is suspiciously warm.

"Harboring'' An Untamed Stag.

Meaning Of the World-How the Noble
 Beast is Found.
 TExmoar CEnglandl Letter to the London standardl
 To the reader who boasts of no sporting nrocIiyities, harboring an untamed stag may seem an experiment not less dangerous than nurturing a serpent in one's bosom; 7; and to the minds of many who claim some know ledge of hunting in it's mere common phases the phrase will perhaps convey very vague meaning. It is better, therefore, to be gin at once by explaining that harborlng IS tech nical term used by experts ln woodcratt, TOT which there is no substitute Nor is any wanted, for it is 8 very good word as 1t stands It means simply the task of tracing the noble beast to his lair amid some dense thicket of the far-stretching converts that clothe the steep hills and deep combes of this wild and picturesque west country. This has to be done not with the aid of fkeen-scented hounds, but merely by the highly trained 1ntellg ence of single man. who has devoted many years of his life to the study of red deer and their habits. The harborer begins his work hours before the earliest of those who take part in the more exciting scenes of the chase are out of, their beds, and few among these habltual followers have any idea of the toll that is un- dereone by this man in providing the means of pleasure for them, or of the patient skill displayed by him in pursuit of his calling
 Long before the first pale streak of dawn gllmmers above the tops of those heather clad ridges and while the valleys are still wrapped in darkness, he sets out on his lone ly way over moors where there may be noth- ing but devious sheep track to guide hlm, and that often lost in a painless swamp; He and his forest-bred pony, however, have tray eled these solitudes together for many day To them every swell or hollow of the open heath are as familiar as the features ot broad highway to ordinary beings :; ana through the thick mists that roll from seaward across these wastes they make their way with an instinct that is as seldom at fault as the needle in which sailor places implicit faith When the fixture is at Cloutsham Ball, as It always is for an opening day with the Devon and Somerset, his labors are a little tighten ed by intimate knowledge of the feeding grounds most affected by the lordly wander CTS.

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with thousand (75,OOO) lbs. E6f Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recOm- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuiG than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government conn missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 twill thus be seen that when Rockers Perfect Baking Powder Is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

The Chinese government for some reason not stated, recently issued decree com manding its subjects to abstain from shaving the head for period of one hundred days. Detected in the act of disobeying this arbi- trary regulation, between fifty and sixty per sons of the city of Foochow alone were sen- tenced to receive castigation with bamboo rods and to pay each fine of 5000 cash (about $6). It is stated by the local jour nals that before liberation the heads of the offenders were as wholesome warning to others, carefully painted and vanished.

It seems to be thought by shrewd. .calcula- tors in New York, Chicago and San Francisco that for many years to come the American States may be relied upon to produce an an- nual wheat crop of four hundred millions of bushels, after making due allowance for fail ures of local character. This estimate is based upon the enormous increase of the area of wheat cultivation in the new West which is quite sufficient to make up for all allowances for short crops in particular States.

It has been raining for about three weeks in England, and the damage done to the crops is sad blow to the English farmers, who have not had really good harvest for seven years. It is stated that all hope of even half a harvest this year has been aban- doned. The farmers clubs in Norfolk and Suffolk report that the cut grain is now worthless and the standing grain reduced to pulp In the East Riding of Yorkshire and the south of Scotland the ''stouks' are in many places floating in the fields. In Devon shire the destruction is complete In Cheshire 95 per cent of the wheat has not been housed, and most of it is now worthless. In Lincolnshire the fields are flooded and mildew is eating up the grain. In the mid land and southern counties the cut grain has sprouted, and grave fears are felt for the root crops, which are literally under water. Oats and barley were mostly housed in the south before the rains set in, but in the mid land and northern counties they are almost destroyed. It is estimated that Great Britain will have to import almost as much grain as she did in 1879, and as much of it will go
 from this country the western farmers will
 obtain high prices, and perhaps very high l ones, for their grain.

Crops are wofully short in this
parish, of both corn and cotton,
and it is safe to say that there will
not be more than third of crop
of each made. 1t is said to be the
poorest crop ever made in the par
ish, and we presume it is true. On
our richest land in many places the
cotton will not average more than
two feet high with from five to ten
bolls on stalk, where formerly it
grew as high as a mans head. The
fields have burned up under the
parching sun with no ram. The
drouth set in here early in June,
and we have not had good rain
since-an unprecedented dry spell
of nearly three months. It looks
really distressing, and whilst this is
generally true throughout the State,
we can't see why the city papers
report the crop nearly as good as
that of last year. It is not true,
and the facts ought to be given.

should be done if it takes the whole

world for the condition Of some of
our thoroughfares, and we will be
disappointed if the Grand Jury let's
overseers off as lightly as they have
heretofore done. Work the roads,
