The death of Bishop Peck recalls an incl
pense over thirty years ago--a clever trick
OF the undergraduate boys of Dickinson col
lege, perpe;rated soon after his accession to
the presidency of that institution. The now
distinguished Moncure d. Conway, then a
Methodist preacher in prospect, has the ira
ditional credit of being one of the devisers of
the scheme. In the spring of 1910 the Bal
timore Methodist conference held its annua
session in Staunton, Virginia. the seat of one
of the three state lunatic asylums. While
President Peck was on his way 10 The con-

SEES, will be found quite unable TO write an
Ineligible letter, to put the sentences to-
gether correctly, to spell the words properly,
or to exhibit neat penmanship. And this
may be true even after the high school is
reached. The lad who is thus forced to an
ticipate the more careful drill of the highest
class in the grammar school, finds himself
mortified as he seeks place in the
store, by his inability to write neatly
or to make change correctly. He
hesitates when he attempts to read, and feels
himself that he makes a very poor figure as
he starts in life, premature graduate from
the schools. In many instances bright boys
overcome all this when they feel the spur of
necessity, and 5y themselves seek, with
some good success, to remedy the mistakes
OF their school-lfe. This period has not in
deed been utterly lost. They have acquired
the alphabet of knowledge, and diligence
and perseverance will Insure them an unlm-
tied progress in any desired line of acquisi-
ton.
Still something should be done to meet
this great want. We are happy to know that
both the supervisors and teachers of our
schools are clearly apprehending it. 1t is
difficult, after line of studies and exercises
has been established, many of the branches
enforced bs the law of the State, and others
by the aesthetic taste of the hour, to cut off
any of them, to limit the number so as to
devote the time and careful training of the
skilled teacher 10 the few that are indispen-
| sable This is all the more difficult with
us, because the children of poverty elect
| generally the public rather than the private
| school 1t has been made, as Horace Mann
boosted it should be, SO rich in its appliances
and opportunities that other schools cannot
easily live by its side, or successfully COM
pete with it. 1t has always in its plan the
broadcast training, @sthetical as well as prac-
teal, and advanced as we'll as preliminary,
and does not consider the cases of those that
drop out by the way. An effort is now made
TO supplement the school by technical edu-
cation; the needle and the fret saw are
brought in. All this may be we'll enough,
but the chief necessity is to give these lads
and girls, who have only four or five prec-
ions years for school, the most careful aud
correct training in the very first principles of
knowledge, and in their application TO daily
life. They ought to know how to meet the
daily acquisitions upon their knowledge of
figures, to write neatly, and to be able to ex-
press themselves in the simpler forms of
| correct English. This, with rudimentary
history OF their own country, and general
| idea of the countries of the world, would be
"a good foundation, if thoroughly laid, for
personal reading and study, even when too
prematurely sent to trade or into business.
In some way the public school system should
give more emphatic recognition to this
very large class of its pupils.

In Cass county, Mo-. is tow with moth
ing peculiar about it except its name, which
is Peculiar. According to local tradition il
came to receive that singular appellation in
the following manner: When the settlement
had become sufficiently populous to need a
post office one of the prominent citizens sent
a petition to Washington to have post Of
flee established. In reply he was asked to
suggest name that would please the peo-
pie, to which he responded that ''the people
were not particular SO long as the name was
peculiar" Thereupon the post Office was
christened Peculiar, and the name has new
er been changed.

they choke, and they are found gorged with
the tiny fish, which can be seen in their

goods had been criticised by Mrs. Catlin.

insulting letter, which Mr.. Catlin forwarded

Drunkenness in Germany.

Germany has long been held up as
model for moderate drinkers, and wine
and lager been offered as substitutes
for rum and whiskey, and antidotes for
incompetence. But the serpent has be-
gun to bite there as we as elsewhere.
The Nation publishes a Berlin letter
upon the alarming increase of intern
perance and the use of alcoh Die drinks
IN place of, or in addition to, the use of
beer. Belgium has since 1910, more
than doubled the use of alcohol, and in
the industrial counties has dram-shop
for every seven persons. In Germany
the dram-shops increased in two years
l., POI about 10 per cent. The EN-
peror Of Germany, in his late address
to his Parliament, called attention to
the serious increase of crimes and mis-
demeanors committed by men in a
state of drunkenness, and Parliament
has sought to limit the number of L.
censed dram-shops. 1t is apparent that
wine and beer are no preventives OF
drunkenness. Rather they awaken and
stimulate the appetite for stronger
drinks.

Notes..

1t is stated that tho parties whe late
ly shipped lis fine Spanish Mcrino
sheep from Vermont to Australia paid
$4,000 freight on them from Vermont
to San Francisco, and S15 per head
from that point to their destination,
making an average of about So 80
each for the entire trip. The average
price received alb we cost of transport
tation, was about $40 head.
Sheep at this season are much trou-
bled with the gad-lly, which lays eggs
in their nostrils, and these Matching out
cause the grub in the head. Earring
the nose is said to be a good prcven-
tive. 1t may be done by giving salt TO
sheep in narrow dish that has tar
smeared on its sides, or compelling
them to lick their salt through tarred
ring barely wide enough to admit the
nose.
Will an effort be made at the next

tariff of 1867 restored? If 50, too early a
preparation for the fight (tor fight there
must be) cannot be made. The great
mass of the wool-growers of the United
States have made up their minds to one
thing that is, that the tariff should not
have been reduced; and now they need
to make up their minds to another
thing-that last winters congressional
action shall be rescinded. 1t is not
