JUDGE BECKNER's suggestion to
hold an educational conference at
Frankfort to discuss the common
school system and devise means for its
betterment, is meeting with an encour.
agement from every quarter that is
truly gratifying. AS now conducted,
the system is the worst of any of the
States and the schools as managed
are absolutely worthless beyond the
A. b. c. period. There is enough
money collected, if it were paid out
without such heavy expense, to Sc
cure good teachers, but the small
amount which finally reaches them
after months of waiting, is insufficient
for much talent. The assembled wis.,
dom of the State can suggest remedies
for this and the other defects and we
look for great good from the proposed
convention.

lT is scarcely agreeable to think
that the cockroach could ever
become an active agent in medicine.
Yet il is used almost universally in
Russia as a diuretic in certain diseas-
es, and il is also frequently used in
European medical practice as a cure
for Bright's disease. The Professor
of Materia Medica in Jefferson Col
lege recently stated that cockroaches
are not entirely unknown in the med.
ical practice 10 Philadelphia, though
physicians do not care TO have it
known that they prescribe so unpopu.
lar an insect in their practice, and
few druggists will acknowledge that
that they keep it in stock, The Pro-
lessor says that cockroach tea may be
used with good effect in certain cases.
It's medicinal properties resemble
those Of canthsrides, and when pre-
scribed il is in the shape of a pill,
made with the powder of the dried
insect. The cockroach is no more Of
fensive than the cantharides, both be-
ing of the came class Of insect, and
the smell is not so Objectionable as
hat of the Spanish fly.
