AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT.

It is the general impression that children
 in the public schools have too many studies. and that both teachers and scholars are over | strained by trying to dotoo much, It would not, at first sight, seem that ths way to cor rect this evil is to introduce additional sub iects of instruction, yet MT. William Lant Carpenter, an English scholar, declares that | paradoxical as it may seem to assert that re- | lief can be given to overworked teachers and
 scholars in this way, yet it is fact, as the results of a well conceived and well carried out system of instruction in elementary science in ths> s1oRrd schools in London and Bir- mingham show He believes that, if even 8 small fraction of the time now devoted in the common schools, even those attended by the children of the poorer classes, who can have but limited time at school, to mechanical grinding in ''the three R. 's' be appropriated to instruction in elementary science, upon proper methods, the general intelligence of the children will be quickened that the re- suits no aimed at will be attained more easi- ly than in similar schools where the whole time is employed in the usual way. That variety of occupation has a beneficial eff ect upon the mind, he thinks, needs no other proving in this connection than is aff orded by the half time scholars in the cotton manu- featuring districts, who are found to make progress almost as great when their time is divided between the school room and the fac tory as though their time was wholly devoted to school.
 In Birmingham, where this idea has been for soma firna mt in is the extra study for the boys and Domestic Economy for the girls No text books are used, An expert instructor, specially ap- pointed, goes from school to school, giving practically the same lesson in each. The necessary apparatus is kept in central place and taken from school to school in hand cart. The demonstrator gives four lessons day. and has about 2, 800 children in his cir cult. He has two assistants. One of the regular staff of the school is always present at the lessons and he goes over the lesson again with the class, though without the ap- paratus, before the demonstrator' comes again. On two or three evenings of the week he also has classes and lectures. The ordinary disjointed, poorly illustrated ''object teach ing," unconnected with what has gone before or may come after, bears little resemblance to this systematic instruction. Those who have watched the system from the beginning sum up the results of this operation as the gene ral quickening of the intellectual life of the school, the sending of many lads to science classes after leaving school, the finding out of lads of exceptional ability and setting them on their road, and attracting the attention of ordinary teachers to science and the results of teaching it. Mir. Carpenter thinks that if this work can be set moving it will end in an intellectual revolution for the mass of the EncIish neople

GRATIFYING RESULTS.

Uudsr date of May 14, Mr. E. A. THOMSON, the wei known grocer and provision dealer, of 78 Greene street. New Haven, Ct, writes as folloVs: 'severa weeks since was taken very i'll with ktdnsy disor- ders and an examination of my urine showed a very diseased condition of my kidneys. and I had also symptoms of diseased state of my liver. The pass ing of my urine WAS accompanied with severe pains in the small of my back and loirs, followed by q burning sensation and after having stood awhile in the vessel the urine showed very heavy deposit of sediment similar to ground brick dust and in short found that was in such diseased condition to require immediate medical treatment, and as was anxious to obtain the best and most speedy remedy looked and inquired carefully and became satisfied Hunts Remedy was article of excellent merit, and therefore concluded to give 1t trial, and com menced taking 1t, and before had taken bottle found such great improvement that decided to continue its and by taking only two bottles the result most gratifying in giving restored health,

The DomestiontIon of Monkeys

Is. M Williams in the Gentomans Magazine.J
 The remarkable intelligence of dogs, and in minor degree of cats, is doubtless due to education and the hereditary transmission of the cerebral development induced by educa- ton. A pointer that has been reared from puppyhood in town and has never seen a partridge will point the first time it is taken in the country at it's first sight of game. Collies and other specially trained dogs ex- hibit similar hereditary aptitude, What would have happened if monkeys had been similarly domesticated and as carefully trained to useful work, such as fruit gather ing, lamp-lighting, &c., during a few hun dreds of generations? The monkeys in our menageries usually die of consumption. Re- cent investigations, which connect pulmona- ry tubercles with bacilli, and indicate that the germs of these pestiferous creatures may be communicated by the breath, render it 8 matter of small surprise that the poor crea- lures, confined together in the detestable at mosphere of such places as the monkey house of the Geological Gardens, should be- come thus infected and speedily die. It is 8 curious fact that the keepers of caged ami mals in menagerles are usually victims Of pulmonary consumption. This shows that there is something more than mere coldness of climate concerned in promoting the mis- chief. There are monkeys and monkeys, some spiteful and dangerous, others docile and gentle as kittens. A dozen palrs or the latter sporting at large in the Crystal falace would be immensely amusing thelr trapeze performances throwing Leotard deeply ID the shade; and living thus in something ike their natural condition they would probably increase and multiply sufficiently to afford an opportunity of observing the hereditary re- suits of dcmestication and the soothing charms of much music. What would they do during the performances of the Handel festival 1? Would they select the reporters gallery, the royal box, the upper regions of the orchestra, or the reserve seats on the foor2 Or would they crouch behind the ef fgies of the Kings and Queens of England at the most remote end of the transept? These and many other questions concerning their habits are sufficiently interesting to scientific and popular curiosity to render such an ad- dition to the attractions of ths palace prof itable investment for the shareholders. Some years ago was much interested in observing the exceptional frontal development and very intelligent expression and movements of 8 very pretty little monkey at the Regents Park Gardens, so much so that I made in ouiries of the keepers concerning it. He told me that it was born there. Were these characteristics accidental, or the result of he- reditv under domestication

The First Warning.


 People don't lose tn cir memory all of a sudden, of course. The commencement of it's failure is with the small cards of the plain suits, nobody (but your partner) thinks much of that, but when it comes to the large cards and the trumps, you had better sit out and content yourself with watching the play. Your own part in the game of whist (and of ite) is over. Royal families (because per haps in their case not to know folks is a slight and therefore the art is worth cultiva- ting) are said to have san extraordinary memory for faces" I yield to no crowned heads in Europe in this particular. I recog- nize with ease, but I cannot identify. A man. face, tonce seen, becomes familiar te me, but not necessarily welcome; I don't know who it is It may be my Lord Thinga- my whom was so gratiied by meeting at What dye call-um's the other night, and who conversed so affably upon the weather, or it may be the young man who irons my hats at Lincoln & Bennetts or it may be one of the club walters out for holiday. Or, again, may connect mans face with his individuality know him for my friend or neighbor perfectly well but his name es- capes me. When one's friend asks to be in- troduced to another hitherto a stanger to him, and you can't do It for the life of you on account of this temporary oblivion, it is very inconvenient. There have been occa sions when I have forgotten them both it is IASA hSStS7oiy Io pub OA dpRCd1dAC0 OL excessive GOnhOnaie, clap them both on the back, and exclaim: You two know one another by name, of course '' and if they don't, it's unfortunate, but not my fault. I eau remember good stories but, unless the persons of whom they are narrated are nee essary to tho jest, they are very apt to es- cape me. There was one, with more humor than grace in it. told of certain money lender of the last generation. Finding my self after dinner next to man very obnox ious to me, but whom, for my hosts sake, I wished to treat civilly, I favored him with this very anecdote; it was better, under these circumstances, than conversation, and, dull as he was. felt it could not fail to tickle him. The effect was unmistakable, but it did not take the shape I expected. He grew graver and grayer his face became bluish purple, and his eyes slowly pushed them. selves out of his head. Then suddenly it flashed across me that the hero of this very funny, but not complimentary, narrative was his own father. Well, he said in an awful voice. as stopped short, ''what then?" My brow was bedewed with horror, and seemed to see sparks. My very dear sir" I said, ''I am ashamed to say that I have drank little too much wine. I have clean forgot ten how the story ended !" But have not forgotten how near I was to telling 1t, nor shall I ever forget it.

Judge She'll of Washington, who recently pleased bicycle riders by deciding that they had the same rights as riders of other vehi- cles. has just fined bicycler $2o for assault, because in reckless riding on the street he ran down and seriously injured man. The bicycler said he was trying to dodge lady when he ran into the man. The point of Judge Shells decision was that 8 bicycle is quite as dangerous 8 carriage and the rider must use as much precaution as the driver of horse. In riding through the streets at a rate of fifteen miles an hour he was doing what no driver of horse is al- lowed to do.

The recent decision concerning the tele- phone is not generally understood Mir. Church, who made the decision, was asked what it meant, and he replied that, so far as the art of telephoning is concerned, the first who succeeded in transmitting and reproduc- ing spoken words, Alexander Graham Bell, has been held to be the prior inventor. This simply continues the principal patent in it's present perfection, but, passing minor i'm portant but not material inventions. the pres ent form of receiver, or ear telephone, is awarded to McDonough of Chicago, with in- terests antagonistic to Bell. There are, per haps, other forms of receivers that can be adopted in place of the present one, but so long as this decision is unreversed, the Bell Telephone company cannot legally use the receivers now attached to all it's instruments. There is, however, s chance that appeals will be taken from the decision, sixty days being allowed the parties interested to bring the matter before the board of chief examiners or the Secretary of the Interior. The Blake transmitter is also continued in the Bell company.

 The New York Times Is standing by the striking telegraph operators in way that will add to the good reputation of that jour nal as a hearty defender of the right It stated some truths yester day which ought to receive general attention at this time It said The right of association is as open to the employed as 10 the employers It is practically a natural right, and is limited only by the obligation not to infringe upon the rights of others. It is in the exercise of this right that laborers everywhere have made any progress whatever from 8 condition very much like servitude. With all it's abuses, the right still exists, and when 8 body of in telligent men and women resort to it, with energy and firmness, but with observance of order, respect for law, and fidelity to the rights of every one else, their action is en- titled to cordial commendation, which, as 8 matter of fact, 1t undoubtedly receives- Those who condemn the perversion of trades unions-their arbitrariness, their violence, their disregard of the rights of others-make a grave mistake in condenan1ng the course of the brotherhood. They ought to see that the greatest possible service to the cause of order and justice is rendered in a strike con- ducted as this is. The principle of the trades union can no more be destroyed in this country than can the right of peaceable as- sembly The one thing to be desired is that the trades union shall be fairly and honora- ply used, and to that end the Brotherhood of Photographers has most powerfully contribu- ted.
 The Emperor William requires a good many clothes in which to play the various parts assigned him. He is the owner of about many military uniforms as there are imperial regiments He has special uniforms that belong to high military offices in the armies of Baden, Bavaria, Saxony, and Wur- temberg besides others that are peculiar to the Austrian infantry and the hussars, and four that belong to the Russian army. He is thus enabled to don any costume at 8 mo- ment's notice that diplomatic visits, military reviews, official receptions, court balls or any other occasions of public consequence render desirable. He has also large array of civil costumes, chiefly of dark fabrics with occasional trousers of lighter shades His hunting attire is confined to 8 few arti- cIes of wear that are allowed to grow old and comfortable, with little pretension to stylish ness. One gray coat, in particular, is en- deared to the aged monarch by long service, and is the most comfortable piece of apparel that he possesses. It is said to have been in use for twenty-five years The Emperor's clothes are all furnished by one family of tailors, whose older members made his first uniform in the days when he was only Prince. Some of the t-off articles are already in the possession of the museums for preservation and display; but the dress worn when Nobiing fired upon him and nearly killed him has not been surrendered for this purpose, though eagerly desired and sought. The Emperor's civil head gear is usually high stove-pipe hat.

An official list of the liquor dealers of Cuyahoga county, Ohio, who have complied with the requirements of the Scott law has been published. According to the summary given, the number of dealers in liquors of all kinds in the county is S7O, and of dealers in malt and vinous liquors only 433, making 8 total of l, ,303. About one-third of the whole number of drinking places in Cleveland, therefore, confine themselves to the miIder beverages. The total amount received from the beer and wine dealers is $43.o66 7G, and from the dealers in the stronger liquors $173, 516 A. Thus the dealers in the milder liquors constitute but about one third the number and contribute less than one fifth the amount of tax.

A number of the graduates of Williams college residing in Cleveland, Ohio, have sent the trustees a petition in which they ex- press their regard for the professor of poll tical economy who teaches the students of the college that free trade is the one thing needful They say that they do not dep'e- cate the fact that he takes decided position on one side of the great economic question, nor do they grieve because the majority of young men go out from his instruction also with decided views. eff they are advocates or defenders of the weaker side they ought soon to discover their error when they come to meet the question educated men, if the stronger side is strong enough to show them their error. If not, what harm that the right should be taught them?' This is "healthy" reasoning.
