The Educational Conference.

The Cincinnati Necs throws cold
water on the proposed educational
convention as follows: "a call has
been Issued for aconference or conven
ton Of the friends Of education in
Kentucky, to be held at Frankfort,
April 8. The purposes Of the conven-
ton are to assist In creating a pub
lie sentiment that will secure what we
want And right there arises the
difficulty in the way of this confer
ence. What do I'VE want2 There
can be no doubt that Kentucky needs
an educational revival, just as Ohio,

There's the rub. The call is signed

HARD.BoILED WATER.-A medi-
cal journal advises its readers to boil
all water used as a beverage. This
it says, purifes the water and renders
it wholesome. With all due respect
to the profession, of which it is an
able exponent, we would mildly sug
gest to our contemporary that direc'
lions should be given as to how long
the water is to boil. Hard boiled wa
ter might prove as indigestible as the
hard boiled eggs sold by the blind man

The inory Tree.

An "angry tree" species Of acca-
cha, is growing on a farm in Virginia,
Nevada. II was brought from Aus.
tralia and is now eight feet high and
growing rapidly. 1t shows all the
characteristics Of the sensitive plant.
When the sun sets its leaves fold to-
gether and the ends Of the tender
twigs coil up like pigtail. II the
twigs are handled the leaves move
uneasily for a minute or more, A
singular thing concerning the tree was
its apparent resentment on being re-
moved from a pot, in which it had
matured, into a much larger pot. To
use the gardeners expression, il
"made il very mad" Hardly had it
been placed in its new quarters before
the leaves began to stand up in all
directions, like the hair on the tail Of
an angry cat and soon the whole plant
was in a culver. AT the same time it
gave out an odor most pungent and
sickening, resembling the odor given
of by rattle snakes and other kinds of
snakes when teased. This odor so
filed the house that it was necessary
to open the doors and windows. 1t
was fully an hour before the plant
down and folded its leaves in
peace.

Pbotoonaobj1o Speech

The Photo. Neios says: The new
system Of teaching the deaf and dumb
by directing them to look at person
speaking, and to note the position of
his lips in giving utterance to different
sounds, has now been in practice for
several years on the Continent; and,
as our readers are probably aware, has
also been adopted in this country with
some success. A Continental teacher
has nov hit upon plan of futhering
the instruction by having recourse to
photograph. A model has been cho
sen whose lips are particularly ex
pressive in their action, and series
of photographs taken of him while
pronouncing the different sounds that
go to make up language. Such q
speaking likeness" has been obtained
that, in many cases, even an untrain.

guessing the letter on the lips OF the
model as the photographs are Ills
played one after another. Mr.. War
nerke exhibited several Of the pictures

The MoTHER-IS-LAw. The girl
looks TO marriage as the chief end.
When she marries and daughter lie
born unto her, the chief end of her ex-
istence is to get her daughter well
married. As soon as maternal assid-
uity and skill have achieved this ob
ject, she becomes the mother-in-law,
who is subject for the jibes of the
circus clown; for the elaborate jokes of
the minstrel end men; for the witty
newspaper photographers, and never
failing witticism for that successful
class of humorists who keep in the
sure line OF the old jokes. Thus does
woman achieve the supreme object OF
her existence in becoming an object Of
popular opprobium.

Government for Alaska.

Government fOT Alaska.
/ have an idea that the preva-
lent notion that the country is of
no value for anything but seals,
whales and Indian wares has had .
much to do with keeping congress
from giving a government to
Alaska. | believe a score of bills |
have been introduced into con-
gress to provide government for
the territory, but what would be
the use of going to the expense Of
4 government If our people would |
never settle there? But it will
surprise many to know that under
the rude condition now prevailing
there are over fifty thousand hu-
man beings known to be supported
here-how many more is not
known, for there has yet been
nothing but guess at the number
in the unknown interior. Only
six hundred of these are of our
own race, but it is q matter of
surprise that so many stay here,
for, be it remembered, there is no
law here; no person can have a
foot of land or a stick of timber
or hold a claim to a NINE. Any
one may rob or murder you with
out any law to protect or give you
redress. A man here must act
solely on his faith in humanity and
on his own right arm. 1t Is said
that one OF the reasons why no
government has been given this
territory is because there are but
few white men, but how can there
be men without you give them
right to hold what they earn? But
a graver question will come up
when a territorial government IS
considered-what To do with the
red men? The lack Of territor-
ial government prevents the white
men from bringing their wives and
families with them. They do not
come to settle, but t. make. But
after coming they take wives from
among the Indian women and we
are thus getting an enormous
number OF half-breeds, whose hab-
its, mode OF life and ways OF
thought approach our OWE. You
will not want to give the suffrage
10 them; but will not their increas-
ing numbers compel them to de-
mand it? Will they always be
satisfied to be slaves in a tree
country? Beyond this is the in
cressing civilization of the Indian
themselves. What will we do
with them after they are civilized?
Are they forever to remain with
out civil rights? Today there are
thousands of Indians in the terri
tory who are fully as deserving Of
suffrage as many white men. If
we are ever to consider this
question at all, we may as
we'll consider it at once,
and If we do, then the six hun
dred men-who certainly have a
right to some form of protective
government-is hugely increased.
The missions have done much to
civilize these Indians; but then
there are missionaries and mission
aries. Some have grand success,
while others we'll, l wonder how
ever they came to beSsent out at
all. They know absolutely moth
ing, and the Indians soon find it
out. - Corr. Philadelphia T,f-
