SCHOOL TALK.-Prof. G. F. Viebahn,
superintendent of our public schools, adj
dressed fair-sized audience at Turner
Hall last Friday evening upon the topic
of "Home and School Education" His
remarks were intended principally for
the parents and patrons of the public
schools, although by no means uninter-
esting nor Improbable for the ears of
others. The speaker held up the neces-
sity of better appreciation and under
standing of the circumstances surround
ing the teacher and dwelt upon the prop
er relation scholar, teacher and parent
should bear enc to the other. He closed
with some good advice to teachers, rela.
tive to the matter of partiality towards
scholars. The talk was we'll received
and the facts brought out, will, we think,
be fruitful of good results.

Josh Billings ON Charity.

Josh Billings thinks the charity Of this
world conundrum, and be gives 10 up. One
cold, snowy afternoon this winter he saw
thinly-cla man trying to sell couple OF
lead pencils nj the foot of an elevated rail-
way station, imploring each passer by TO pur.
chase, as he was starving. Seven passed,
without buying; "Josh" was the eighth, and
he thought them and passed on TO the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. Soon, having an errand In
the Gilsey House, he thought he would try
lis luck selling pencilson the way. Hetook
the two pencils he had bought, pulled his
coat collar up and his hat-brim down, and
ut out In the dark. At Twenty -fotirth street
he stopped benevolent-looklpg pedestrian
with "Please buy my two pencils for ten
cents piece; am starving; have had
nothing TO eat for twenty -four hours" etc.
The man Pushed him aside, saying grufiiy:
Il can buy three for quarter down the
streat.h and went on. Three Others being
appealed 10, did about the same. AZ last he
slouched into the Gilsey House and tried
the dodge on man At the bar, who tossed
him quarter, saying: stake that, old man,
DOM want any pencils" Then ''Jssh"
revealed himself. and told tho story OF his
experiences as an amateur pencii-selier to the
great amusement OF the assembled COM
pGny.

Women who Speculate IN OIL.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune
One OF the curious features la the late rise
I'm oil Is the extent TO which the ladies Of this
city have yielded to the temptation Of ac-
curing wealth suddenly and have gone to
specializing on the exchange. In the gallery
your correspondent counted seventy-fvc OF
the fair sex watching the fluctuations as
keenly as did the spectators and brokers on
the floor beneath. Half of the number were
resting notebooks OH the railing, and little
shower of notes was continually dropping
down into the hands of brokers beneath,
containing instructions for their guidance.
There were fair young girls in silk and
satin, whose notes were entered with jew
eled pencils on the daintiest of books; hard
worked shop.girls, eagerly looking over their
business-like figures; matronly ladies trying
10 look uncancerned and dropping their Or
ders as stealthily as possible, and here and
there brokers' wife, whose face showed
superior knowledge oftrade, but whose deal
incs, as a class, were the least fortunate OF
all. These ladies we're all respectable, many
of them moving in the best society in. the
city. There has been for long time much
speculation among the ladies here ION the
Quiet" but not until the last few days has 1t
been 30 open. Familiarity osercame the first
flavor OF wickedness attached TO this form Of
gambling, and the practice no~ so firmly
founded will probably continue so long as
does the present excitement. Society life Is
Certainly dull enough In q town like this,
and IL Is no wonder that the ladies are driven
into the ranks Of spectators for something
to do.
And they do not deal so lightly either.
Az nearly ~ could be ascertained, the gal
Iery occupants to- day purchased In the neigh
borhood of two hundred and fifty thousand
barrels of oil, and the most lucky specula-
tor. the wife of we'll known broker, clear
ed six thousand dollars on her days transac-
tions. Two shop girls found themselves
possessed Of a, 10 them, small fortune,
twelve hundred dollars, at the close Of busi-
ness. and other winnings were fourteen hum
dred. one thousand, and several between five
hundred and one thousand dollars. As q
matter of course, there are losses; and these
arc borne without tear-in public, at least.
A society belle drew her check for two
hundred dollars to margin oil she was hold.
ing, when the market went the wrong way,
but she pluckily stuck to 1t, and has good
chance Of getting even tomorrow.

The Editor and his Room.
Denver Tribu ne.

The popular impressions that an editorial
room Is battle ground, that editors arc be-
Ing constantly bounded for copy, that indig-
nant subscribers rush In with complaints and
honswhips, that the editor ID . prosecuted
crsature--is all fallacy. The average edi.
torial room Is quiet sort Of place. spot
where loafen are seldom tolerated, and
where disturbances ipfrequcntly occur. The
idea that the foreman Ii inveterately bowling
for copy is an erroneous ono, invented prob.
ably by some amateur journalist, long ago,
who did not know that well-rsgulated editors
make It one Of the most important details Of
their business never to let their printers
stand around and charge time.
The editorial room Is not luxurious spot
but 1t Is invariably quiet. II Is especially q
rare field for the STUDY of human character.
In the course Of brief year every phase Of
the human nature passes before the eye Of
the editor in his ssnctum. and 1t is theirs
that the cant and hypocrisy Of humanity are
most frequently sslfexposed. The hollow.
ness and rottsnness Of politicians are first
discovered by the editor, for he has conf
dant In the editor, and 1t Is SO with mer-
chants, lawyers, preachers and.every manner
OF man who steps Into the editorial sanctum.
II they are weak and hypocritical the edit
or IL the first to discover It, for the editorial
room IL sort of disrebIng room for the rest
Of the worlds chamber where people come
and lay on their masks and toggery. and dis
play their blemishes and weaknesses. To
those who arc In the secrets Or the sanctum

armcd cynics.

THE KNOT AND THE MILE.
Correcting Popular Errors In Regard To
Their Relative Distance.


Tie "knot" and the emile" are terms often
used INTERCHANGEABLE, but enormously So.
The fact Is that mile is less than eighty
seven per cent of knot. Three and one
half miles are equal, within very small
fraction to'three knots. The knot Is G,0S2.oo
feet In length. The statute mile is o,2eo
feet. The result Of the difference is that the
speed In miles per hour Is always consider
ably larger than when stated In knots, and
II a person forgets this and states aspeed at
10 many knots, when II Is really 30 many
miles, he may be giving figures verging on
the incredible. When We hear parties say
that such vessel is capable Of making
twenty knots per hour, We usually take
the statement with very large grain Of salt.
for twenty knots Is 23.o4 miles per hour, q
speed which very few vessels have made,
and IL doubted by some who have the best
opportunity for making actual measurements
whether any vessel has made twenty-five
miles in sixty minutes. 1t has been said
that some of the English torpedo boats have
made a. high as twenty-four or twenty-five
knots. Twenty-four knots are ever twenty.
seven and half miles per hour, and twenty.
five knots are upward of twenty eight and
three quarter miles per hour, distances that
are incredible.
