THE GAZETTE is in receipt ola copy
of the report Of the Board OF Education
of the state Of Texas. 1t is volumin-
Gus document and embraces world
OF information. 1t goes back as far as
1879, and gives the names of the pu-
pills that attended the Houston Nor
NAL Institute during that year, which
is valuable information. lfthere was
any knowledge that the people OF
Texas were thirsting and hungcring
for more than anything else, it was to
know who went to school ut Hunts
vile four years ago. Many of them
have laid awake nights wondering
who they were, and now that the in
formation Is Vouchsafed them they
will sleep easier and bless the Board
of Education for providing
the means by which they obtained
this information. Outside of newspa-
Per offices and politicians there will
probably be "A hundred persons of the
one and half millions in the state
who will receive this report, and the
remainder will content themselves
with the knowledge that they were
permitted to assist in defraying the ex-
pense of its compilation, publication
and distribution. There is other sta
tistical information of great value,
from the fact that much of it is
guessed att and unprecedented"
The chief attraction in statistics is to
have them Appropriated" because II

The Irish Americans are not doing
their oppressed countrymen service
in commencing the attempts to blow up
the government offices in London
with dynamite. This mode of con-
Quoting their case against great Brit
ain will lose them more friends and

Americans everywhere sympathize
wiz Ireland, but they must not be
guilty of acts that would disgrace Il
barbaric nation if they wish to retain
that sympathy.

A Farmers Wife Kills a Wildcat.

f. Il. Beacham is a farmer living
two miles from Midland, Mich, and he
has good reason to be just a little bit
prouder Of his wife than most other
men. One forenoon recently Mrs.
Beacham heard a commotion in the
hen-house, and, in the absence of her
husband, seized a muZZle-loading shot
gun and proceeded to investigate. On
reaching the spot an enormous wildcat
emerged from the fowls abode, and a
big turkey gobbler appeared at the
same time-with the assistance of Mr..
Wildcat. This was "fowl proceed
ing" which Mrs. Beacham did not an
prove Of, and she snapped her gun at
the intruder, but the thing missed fire.
She then seized a sharp AK and en-
deavored to do some fancy carving,
whereupon his felineship showed fight
and drove the gallant woman backward
to the house, she constantly striking
at him with the AK and the animal as
adroitly dOdging every blow. Her
screams, however, frightened the in.
truder off, and he disappeared un-
harmed. When Mr.. Beacham re-
turned at dinner-time and learned of
the occurrence, he reloaded the gun
with a charge of buckshot that would
go off upon easy proyocation, and
asked his wife to call him if the fowl
hunter again appeared. Mr.. Beacham
was scarcely out of sight when the
wildcat was seen by his wife tO enter
the hen-house. Taking the gun, the
lady started to pass around the hem
house to give it to her husband, who
was near by, when the wildcat came
out OF the door and, with mouth wide
open, made straight for the lady, cle9f-
ing at one great bound high wag, n
box which lay in his way. When in
mid-air the crack Of the woman's gun
was heard, and the savage animal fell
at her feet dead, shot through the
head, a genuine "out on fly"

tion of insects to check the ravages of
certain kinds of pests. In Ceylon, the
coffee bug has done great damage to

it would be a good thing to introduce
the red ants, which feed greedily on
the cocus. Sure enough the ants did
that work well, but unfortunately
they also turned their attention to the
Malabar coolies and attacked them so
tiercely that they were with difficulty
induced to work on the estates.

A correspondent of Kno,oiedge offers
a plausible theory TO explain the on
ward motion Of ship in calm, If
a wooden sphere OF hemisphere, he
says, be dtopped from any height into
the water, it win sink and fise alter
nately until It comes to rest on the sur
face at the exact spot at which it first
struck the water. This is because the
resistance It's surface offers to the
water is equal in all directions. If.
however, the form be altered to that of
a ship, it will not be found to remain
in the same spot after repeated oscil-
lations, because the bottom offers more
resistance at one end than the other:
and, of course, the ship moves in the
direction of the less resistance. Now
ship is constantly being raised and
allowed to fall again into the sea from
a"swell' which exists even in calm
seas. Thus it is always oscillating up
and down, at one time q little more
out of water than it would if the
mass of water was perfectly still, and
at another time little deeper in than
1t would be under the aforementioned
circumstances. This up and down
motion of the sea is always acting;
but when the surface is rough, this
action on the motion of the ship is in
iinitesimal compared with that due to
the action of the wind, and so is not
noticed; but when there is calm,
there is no other force at work, and,
therefore, that is the only one noticed.

A Spoken Newspaper

The latest Partisan idea is a spoken
daily newspaper. A hall or opera
house of moderate size is to be hired,
a small admission fee charged. and
every evening variety of brilliant
takers will rehearse the events of the
day. The solemn talker, concise,
striking and inventing new phrases,
will discuss political questions. Then
bright general news talker will de-
scribe the accidents and crimes. He

tim was such color, the wounds were
so deep. l ascertained all the facts

pair of brushes, operated by steam,
were making the dust fly from car
horse in the stables. The stiff bristle
brushes are attached to the revolving
shaft by flexible arms, which permit
the brushes to be applied to any part
Of the horse and at any angle. There
are four sets in operation. The horse
Is placed between set consisting of
two brushes somewhat like cannon
swab, each of which is operated on
either side of the horse at the same
time. With these machines but few
minutes are required to clean a horse,
while under the old style, with curry
comb and brush, at least thirty min
utes were required to do the work.

Pat Him in the Bin.

The following story is told of ths
Earl of Stamford, "a great sporting no
bleman," who died recently in London:
He had unlimited faith in the power
Of money, the supremacy Of the aris-
tocracy, and the general worthlessness
of all the rest of humanity. One day
he and few patrons of the turf were
dining at the Star and Garter, at Rich
mond, where Thackeray says it will
cost you ten and sixpence to look at
the waiter 1t costs the earl some
what more than that sum. He had
some words with the waiter and. think
ing the man insolent, he sprang up.
and, to the horror Of all present, sent
the unfortunate man neck and heel
crashing through the window down on
the terrace below. The mans cries
alarmed the whole neighborhoOd, and
the landlord came breathless up the
stairs and said.
my Lord, you have killed the
waiter"
"Thash all ri" hiccoughed the earl.
"Jusht put the villain down in the
bill"
The injured waiter was interviewed
He named the sum that would satisfy
his wounded feelings, and it was put
down in the bill and cheerfully paid b5
the boozy earl.
