1 suppose he saw the movement, for he
turned and looked up at me. Aiming straight
at him I fired; the smoke blew back in my
face, and when it cleared away both beasts
were gone. Almost instantly after l saw two
huge beasts CROSS an open patch not far from
me, and gave the biggest the benefit of my
other barrel Calling out to John to come
on with the dog, 1 ran to where 1 had last
seen the elk to find out the result of my
shots. John seemed in no hurry to come;
the elk / understand, are sometimes danger
Gus when wounded, but 1 should think very
rarely. After following the trail for some
time without seeing trace of blood, We were
satisfied neither of the two-had been touched.
could not believe that 1 had missed clean
and clever a steady shot at breast as big as
horse, and so we retraced our steps to
where they had been standing when fred
the first shot As soon as we got back to the
place pointed out to John where the one
aimed at had been, and on looking on the
ground 1 saw a large drop of blood on q
small dead stick. With shout of triumph
We started to follow up the tracks, and then
found there had been three of the animals
They had turned down the hill at first, then
two had wheeled round and passed up to
where had fired the second time, and so
away into the forest. The third track led
down the hill, every few yards there being
great splashes of blood, at sight of the first
of which John jerked out: dead, dead"
Yes, there, a few yards farther on, lay the
mighty beast on his side, stone dead The
bullet had hit him full in the throat as he
looked up at me and passed down into his
Lungs, killing him almost instantly An
enormous creature he was, big enough to
provide the village with meat for nearly all
the winter. The first feeling of exultation at
having at last been successful soon passed
away, and it was almost with q feeling of
sadness that We covered the mighty carcass
over with heavy bougbs, after having got
him ready to be carried off on the morrow
On our way home we again came across the
other two, Gov and a calf; they we're ap-
parently quite demoralized and after getting
nearly stuck in bog, they stood and Looked
at us on the open moor, not more than 100
yards away. suppose they we're looking for
their lord and father. If my second barrel,
fred in the excitement of the moment when
first saw them, had taken effect, might
have got into serious trouble for shooting
two on the same property, but there would
have been no objection to nay shooting either
where they were now standing; but the
sight of SO much blood had sobered me. and
was content to watch the stupid clumsy
beasts slowly cross the moor and disappear.
How such great uncouth beasts could have 30
long kept out of our sight seemed q perfect
miracle. AT first sight they looked about the

mended, but it was urged that oral examina-
tions should supplement or alternate with
written examinations. By some speakers it
was proposed that oral examinations should
be substituted entirely for written ones, be-
cause there were certain nervously consti-
tuted children who though naturally bright,
we're physically unable to pass with credit
examinations. While this was admitted, it
was, on the other hand, averred that some
children who became nervous when orally
examined could express themselves correctly
in writing. 1t was generally agreed, howev-
err, that it was depreciative of the value of
examinations to work up the children to
state of undue mental excitement at examine
ton time, as was habitually done in many
schools The children should not be embar-
raised or forced in any way. In regard to
examinations as basis of promotion, it was
held that examinations should not be the
only basis of promotion, but that regular at
tendance studious application and the gen
eral recommendations of the teacher should
also receive due weight in promoting child.
The system of percentage marking WAS held
to be of dubious utility. Superintendent
Seaver, of Boston, seemed to express the
sense of the meeting when he said that the
Judgment of the teacher should be the basis
of promotion, rather than any examination,
written or oral.

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
seventy-five thousand $4,000 lbs.
of 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 recon-
mended by him for it's excellence
and because it contained higher
percentage of gas (Which means it
will make lighter bread and bis
cuit) 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 COM
misSiOners, and were without the
manufacturers label or name,
and designated with q number
known only to the commissioners.
1T will thus be seen that when
Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder
8 submitted to an impartial test
it's superiority is acknowledged,
and the popular verdict so emphat-
icalIy expressed in it's favor is fully
sustained.

Fruit Crop Prospects.

Late frosts and backward spring do not
seem to have done any harm to fruit in the
vicinity of New York. Some cherry buds
were killed, but the trees are still fairly
loaded peaches have endured better than in
some places further south, and pears and
apples were never promised more abundant
ly. AS fruit is not one of the crops that af-
feet the balance of trade between America
and Europe it is frequently sneered at as of
slight account, but the three quarters of our
population that consists of women and chill
dren regard the matter from an entirely diff
ferent standpoint, and to them the promise
of the present season is full of satisfaction.

Such weather we had yesterday is better
for grass than for circuses. The hay crop in
this State now bids fair to be large one.
The grass was little late in getting started,
but the cold and dry weather of the early
part of the season gave it a good foundation
and the frequent rains and warm weather
lately have made it grow fast.

Horatio Seymour is much Interested in tree
planting, matter which he regards as of
great importance to all sections of the coun-
try. Three years ago Mr. Seymour suggest
ed to gentleman living near Omaha an ex-
pertinent in growing black cherry for timber
to be used in furniture house finishing and
other useful and ornamental purposes. Mr..
Seymour recently wrote to know how the
experiment was progressing, and was told
that in accordance with his suggestion %. 900
wild black cherry trees we;:e planted on land
seven miles from Omaha recent count
showed that $4,000 of the trees were living
and growing finely, and gave every evidence
of rapid and durable growth. The time is
not far distant when there will be great
many trees planted in this country, as good
timber is getting scarce and valuable.

Comparative Values Of Gems.

Scientists speak lightly of colcred
gems as alumina found in nature, crys-
tallized and colored with oxide Of iron,
and "valued at enormous sums" 1t
hardly raises the more precious in gen
eral esteem to know that the emerald,
ruby, sapphire, and amethyst are almost
the same chemically, or that the emerald
and the aquamarino only differ in color,
the former being absolutely priceless,
while the latter has no determinate value.
Pearls only are sold by the grain. All
other precious stones are sold by the
carat, which weighs four grains. Dia-
monds weighing less than carat are
more valuable than rubies sapphires,
or emeralds of the Same weight. But
all the colored stones exceeding carat
are more valuable than diamonds, and
the difference in value increases very
rapidly with increase Of size. If n ruby
is very perfect, and of rich, dark color,
II commands an eXtravagant price. A
fine three-carat diamond might be worth
from 5000 to 81, 900, according to quail
ty, while perfect three-carat ruby
would find purchaser at from $1,000
TO 81, 900. RubieS weighing four carats
have been sold in Eastern cities for So.

rubies exceeds the supply. 1t is not ex-
actly known where those came from
which are now finding there way into
the market, but it is presumed that many
are taken from old ornaments in family
collections Sapphires are very rare and
scarcely less valuable than rubies. They
make an exquisite appearance, properly
arranged, and having small diamonds
us foils, They are apt to show dull
color at night, and those are consequent

of fabulous value. The Baroness Bur

which throw their beauty into relief
Expert jewellers are not agreed as tC
whether the sapphire or the emerald il
the more valuable, but the last, perhaps
