Supervision for Women.

Hon. John L. Thomas, in his adj
dress at the commencement of the
Eastern female high school. advo-
Gated the admission of women as trus-
tees of the public schools. The prin-
ciple is a good one. A large majority
of the teachers in these schools are
women, and there is no reason why
members of their own sex should not
have a voice in their appointment.
They are. as general thing, better
judges of character than men are, and
would be less likely to be influenced
by undue partiality. In Boston and
other portions of Massachusetts, and
in the state of New York, also,
women have been made eligible to
such positions; and, although they did
not at first take that interest in the
subject which might have been ex-
pected, they are now beginning to do
SO. and experience shows are making
efficient officers.

An Infant Industry.
[Philadelphia Record. /

An "infant industry" has been
wrecked in Canada by the operation
of the new tariff in this country. The
d ;ty on barley was reduced from
fifteen cents to ten cents per bushel,
and the tariff On malt raised from
twenty per cent ad valorem to twenty
cents per bushel. Under this tariff, y
says the Toronto Globe, at it is i'm
possible for the Canadian maltster to
compete against the American, and the
consequence is that our largest man
ufactured export is killed at blow.
Some hundreds of men and hundreds
of thousands of dollars viii be thrown
out of employment in Toronto alone"

The people of this world have queer
notions about damages. The laws OF
some of the states fix the value of a
human life at 5000; that is the max
ilnum amount that jury may give
for death by a railroad accident,
Yet in one of these states New York.
a jury gave a young woman verdict
the other day of S75,O 600 for breach OF
promise. The damage demanded by
persons who suffered at the New
York and Brooklyn bridge disaster
vary strangely. One woman who
had her head scratched wants $4,000.
while another asks 5000 for the loss
OF her daughter.

A curious story is told of the ap-
pointment of the Rev. j. b. Purcell
as bishop. At the time that the see
of Cincinnati became vacant. through
the death of Bishop Fenwick, Bishop
England, OF Charleston, S. c., was in
Rome. Bishop England was busy,
busting little man, much esteemed
at Rome, where he was called episco-
pus vaporeus-the steam bishop.
About the same time a coadjutor was
wanted by the bishop of New York.
Bishop England thought to recon-
mend two young priests having an es-
pecial fitness for the vacan-
cies. namely, the rough and
ready John Hughes for the new
western diocese of Cincinnati, and the
elegant scholar and gentleman, John
Baptist Purcell, for the metropolis of
New York. In few days the pro-
paganda notified Bishop England that,
according to his recommendation, Mr..
Purcell had been named bishop of
Cincinnati, but that the appointment
of Mr.. Hughes would be deferred.
Bishop England at first thought to
rectify the error, but concluded that
perhaps Providence had wrought a
wise confusion. Mr.. Purcell was con-
secrated, and five years later Mr..
Hughes was made assistant bishop of
New York. But for the mistake of
the propaganda, Archbishop Purcell
might to-day be the American cardi-
nal.

The four hundredth anniversary of
the discovery of America, now only
nine years in the future, is looked for
ward to with great interest in Spain.
King Alfonso is of opinion that his
own country should take the lead in
the festivities, and that they should
be held at either Madrid, Granada,
HuelVa or Barcelona, all of which
towns are in some way connected with
the life of Columbus. The king has
pledged-his word to do what is posi-
BILE to make it's celebration a decided
success, and expresses the hope that
the celebration will be one worthy
of the great deeds of
the discoverer of the New
World. Senior Castelar's view as to
the nature of the celebration differs
from that of the king. He would
have Spain, Portugal. Italy. France,
England and the United States join
to make the festival one of the most
brilliant ever held in the history OF
the world. Vessels of each of these
nations, beautifully equipped, should,
he proposes, on the third of August,
1892, depart from Palos for San Sal
vador in imitation of the voyage of
Columbus. AS CASTELAR, is to address
the British Athen9um next year on
the subject of Columbus" he will
have opportunity to interest that ma
ton in the scheme for which he him
self shows so much enthusiasm.

1t begins to look as though "Brews-

since he assumed the duties of law
officer of the government. and has
trusted the discharge of the actual
duties of his office to subordinates
who have been too much interested
in politics of their own emolument
to make their services a credit to the

Cost of Livino in France.

Some one in France has made an esti-
mate of the average cost of living among
the working classes in that country, and
he finds that the expenditures of Is fam
lilies, fairly representative of different
orders of laboring people, varied from
1922 to 5000 per annum. House accom-
modations, as rule, claimed Is per cent.
of the total expenditure, clothing Is per
cent. and food 81 per cent. S per cent.
having been reserved for miscellaneous
purposes. In the matter of food he
found that the highest.expenditHre reg
istered was 70 per cent. and this item
of expenditure was thus distributed: 33
per cent. for bread, IA per cent. for meat,
Ii per cent. for milk, "A per cent. for
groceries, and Is per cent. for miscellan-
eous ailments. The greatest expenditure
upon bread in any individual case was 48
per cent.

OUR PIG-IRON PRODUCT
merits.

The total pig-iron production for 1882
is SITS, 122 tons of 1900 pounds.
This is an increase of II IL per cent.
over the product of 1881, which, in turn,
was per cent. increase over 1880, and
that was 40 per cent. greater than the
pig-iron product of 1879. In that year
we made 3,07O,878 net tons of pig iron,
in 1873 it was 2, 866, 278 tons, in 1860 it
was 49,, no tons, in 1854, 1876, 218 tons,
which is little more than the single state
of Ohio turned out in 1881. In addition
to the large home product we imported
in 1882 COS, 1897 net tons last year. This
displaced just so much native pig-iron, of
which 429, 1874 tons were left unsold at
the close of the year. Pennsylvania
share of the pig-iron product is :, 49,
256 tons-very little less than half Of
the whole. It's increase for the year is
259, 40 net tons. Illinois shows the
next largest increase, 108,62 tons, and
its total product for the year is $780,
tons, which makes it rank fourth among
pig-iron states. New York, which is
the third state, produced 416,156 tons,
an increase of 56,637 tons over 1881.
Ohio, which ranks second in its pig-iron
product, produced but 698, 300 tons in
1882, against 10, SAC tons in 1881. In
respect to production by fuel in 1882,
5, 438, OTIS tons were made from bitumin-
Gus coal, 2,O42. 138 tons from anthracite
coal, and 697, 966 is charcoal iron. The
most prolific pig-1ron district is that of
the Lehigh Valley, which turned out
last year 6O9,338 net tons. Allegheny
County, which ranks second, produced
358, $40 tons, and the SchuylkilI Valley,
which stands third, made 342,7O1 tons.
The effect of the long strike in Pitts
burg and vicinity is seen in the falling
off of the Allegheny County pig-iron
product, which was 385, 453 tons in 1881.
All the anthracite regions in PennsyI-
vania show marked increase in the pig
iron product of 1882 as compared with
the year before.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1888.
THE DUTY ON WORKS OF ART.

American artists on both sides of the
Atlantic think that congress did pc
culiarly mean thing when it raised
the duty on imported works of art. 1t
seems that the increase was brought
about by the entreaties of a single Off
cious Philadelphia, who in no sense
represented the community of painters
and sculptors. Our artists have taken
pains to send to all the European news
papers formal disavowal of RESPONSE
biIity for, or approval of. the increase,
and those of American nationality in
Paris, echo the disgust which is ex-
pressed at home. Their views are set
forth in a letter to the American Regis
ter. This communication says that the
new rate twill, as matter of course,
exclude the choicest works of ancient
and modern art from the United States"
that ''if congress passed the bill for the
protection of our artists at home, it will
not only prove of no benefit to them,
bnt will actually deprive them of the
very models to study FROM that ''not
a single American artist worthy of the
name is in favor of this unwise legisla-
ton, and that cit is quite natural that
the news of the passage of this bill
should have created a sensation in the
world of art, since paintings, etchings,
statuary, ETC.. are admitted free of duty
IN every country in Europe, where they
are considered as objects of taste, and
not as mere articles of luxury"
