A Race of Hairy 5iea with Tails.

Foreign Exchange.
There is now being exhibited at the
Royal Aquarium in London u strange
hairy little creature named krao. Krao Is
described as very bright. looking, intelli-
gent girl Of about yelrs Of age. She was
caught, according TO the account given Of
her, in the forest near Laos, and brought
to England by Mr.. Carl Book, Norwegian,
who, since tho expedition described by
him in "The Head Hunters Of Borneo,"
has been exploring Siam and the wilder
States 10 the northeast. Hearing In various
quarters Of the existence Of u race OF hairy,
TITLED men, similar in appearance to u
family kept at the Court OF Maudalay, he
offered u reward for the capture OF speci.
men. A man was caught, and with him
the child now exhibited, and woman oil
similar appearance then allowed herself to
DO taken. When the little one at.
tempted TO wander the parents called her
back with a plaintive cry, "kra.o," and
the call has been adopted as her name.
The eyes OF the child are large, dark and
lustrous; the nose Is tlIttened, The nostrils
scarcely showing; the cheeks are fat an,i

THE HACHINEiN EDUCATION.

What IL Is Aad why Il Won't Work.
Prof. YoumarH In Popular sCienee Monthly,
We hear much Of the bad effects Of ma
chine politics, but It Is questionable II the
evils Of machine education are not far
worse, BY machine education, we mean
the rigid, mechanical, law.estAblished
routine applied 10 great multitudes Of chill
dren Of all conceivable sorts who are got:
ten together in large establishments and
submitted to operations that so under tho
name OF mental cultivation. Machine
education Is Of the very lowest sort, and
the best that can DO said oilt Ia, that II
Is barely better than nothing at
all. The worst difficulty is, that 1t u
not capable OF improvement The meth
oil itself IL radically false, 80 that the i'm.
provements Of 1t but make It worse. Al
the same time It borrows influence from
It's enormous extension and the authority
by which Il Is enforced. The education
factories run In series, each has complex
grading, and the different institutions are
intimately belled with each other, and all
driven by the motive power Of legislation
As might be expected, the whole system
Is run with view TO popular effects

suits.
In the work Of the school there are two
modes Of dealing with the brain II can be
stored with information, or strengthened in
It's functional operations. True education
consists in the developement Of
brain.nower in accordance with the
laws OF It's activity, and Is sim
ply and always discipline In
spontaneous selfexertion. In the At
tainment OF this subject the engineer o.
the educational machine bus very little e
do. The office Of the teacher il important
but Il consists in encouraging, melting, and
arousing the pupil to put forth his OWE
efforts, and when this Is most etiectuAlly
done the result Is not Of that conspicuous
kind that Is suitable TO make snowy i'm
preston ut public parade. No methoC
has yet been devised for exhibiting sucl
results that Is not full Of rank injustice anC
that does not put premium upon inferior
work,

GgPUDLICAY CITY TICKET.


The action Of the Republican National
committee will in the main give satisIac'
ton to Republican voters. Tho
unit rule Is gonO-an OdiOus con-
triyauce which rested on no pIaus-
IDLE ground Of fairness, useful only to
schcmcrs, and an unjust and always mex
peditnt brake on the popular will.
The convention Of 1850 broke the unit
rule and saved the party from almost GER
tain disaster. That convention instructed
the National Committee to "devise such
methods or rules as shall include and So
cure to the several Congressional districts
in the United States the right to elect their
own delegates to the National Conven-
ton" The work thus marked out
has been performed by the COM
mittee. and district representation
ian fixed fact. The Republican voters Of
each Congressional district may choose In
district convention at home the two dele
yates to which they arc entitled or their
delegates to the State Convention will be
sub.divided into district conventions for
that purpose. We imagine that Republic
cans will generally prefer to make their
selection ia the district convention proper,
70 that the representation may be kept as
close as possible to the electors.
Mr.. ChandIers resolution, adopted
without dissent, provides for a call broad
enough to include all who arc opposed
to the Democratic party. The call is to
invite the cooperation Of "all citizens
who are in favor OF eIevating and defend
inv the American laborer, protecting and
extending home industries, giving free
popular education to the muses. OF the
people, securing FREQ suffrage and honest
counting Of ballots elIeetualIy protectingall
human rights in every section Of our COM
mon country, and who are willing to sup
port the nominees Of the convention"
There is to be no other test. Here is n
wide throwing open OF the doom to wan
derers and to those voters, not heretofore
acting with tlp Republican party, who
may be disposed to join with US to pro-
mote the general welfare. They may
come in on the ground floor aud have
their voice in the convention. From pres
ent indications there will be numerous nc
ceptanccs Of this polite invitation.
We should have been glad OF such a
change in the basis OF representation rs
would have given special consideration to
the Republican vote Of the respective
States. The States which will elect, II we
are TO have Republican President, ought
to have more weight in nominating than
States which arc aImos. hOpeiessly iettcred
by Democratic mnjorities. But Southern
committeeman were strongly opposed to the
change; strict constructor Of the order oil
the convention OF 1850 did not require it
rs some held, would not permit it-and
there is no Just ground Of complaint.
The harmony Of the committees proceed
inrs no les than its substantial good work
argues well for the success OF the party in

Angeles love for spiders was acquired
when a very young man. He was thrown
into dungeon in Naples for some political
ottense and his cage literally swarmed with
spiders. At first he experienced The
strongest repulsion toi bis many.legced
companions, but finally, having nothing
nothing else to do, he became very inter
ested In their movements. One large fat
fellow, who lived in crevice near the
dungeon eating, particularly attracted
Young Angeles attention by the cannibAl
Instincts displayed. 1t liIed and supped
entirely on smaller spiders, and possessed
such an enormous appetite that II not only
ate oil that II could waylay Itself, but
gorged itself with as many us Angelo chose
TO catch for It.
The large spider and Angelo became
good friends. The insect would come at
the mans call and run all over his body.
Occasionally it showed It's affection by try.
ing to spin web across portions OF Ange.
los body, and one night 1t made per.
sistent attempt to house Itself across the
chasm made by the Signof's mouth when
engaged in snoring. After a short I'M.
prlsonment, Angelo was rG!eased, and he
took the spider with him into liberty. He
had neat little box constructed Tor his
pet, which he always kept well supplied
with hies. The insect lived three years
IND eventually died from a surieit Of
bluebottle tiies. Angelo was inconsol.
able for weeks. He buried his insect In
consecrated ground in the cemetery OF
| pir0 and wore crane on hi9 Int fnF mora
than four months. Then he got another
spider and petted Il In course OF time as
much ~ the tirst. When the second died
he got third and hos kept up the supply
ever since. His present spider not only
eats ilies, but occasionally enjoys q raw
piece Of beef. Itlives In a square box pro.
yided with air holes, together with snuff,
