Gen. Schofeld, commander of the
Division of Missouri, with headquarters
at Chicago, in his report to the war de-
partment invites attention to the i'm
portance of schools for the practical in
struction of militia of the several states,
the urgent need for the education OF
both officers and men In the use OF
modern rifle in field maneuvers necessa-
nv to make the fire of rife effective, and
in detail of army life, both in camp and
in garrison. One year of such instruc-
ton to young men seventeen to twenty
years of age, would make, he argues,
excellent soldiers, far more valuable
than many times their number OF I'M
trained militia. The government might
well give reasonable aid tothese schools
in money, military materials and ex'
perienced instructors such as would
make the system inexpensive to the
state.

Five of the members of the New
York Press Club who ran for office were
triumphantly elected, to say nothing OF
the walk-over with which fortune fav-
ored Joseph Pulitzer in his race for
Congress. Colonel Merriman of the
Sun will also be a member of Congress.
1t is a question in journalistic circles
which has not yet been settled, whether
a newspaper man can accept any office
from president to coroner without COM
promising his dignity and Iessening the

Americans, as a rule, are growing
obese, and much interest is felt in the
discoveries for co~unteracting this ten
dency. DIR. S~chweninger of Munich
has discovered a new mode of reducing
the bulk of the human frame. 1t is,
never to eat and drink at the same time,
but to let two hours intervene. He
has, it is said, cured Prince Bismarck
of a tendency to obesity in this way.
Fat people have now their choice be-
tween four systems: l. The original
Banting, which consists of eating moth
ing containing starch, sugar OF fat.
2. The German Banting, which allows
fat, but forbids sugar or starch. 3. A
Munich system, which consists of being
clothed in wool and sleeping i'll flannel
blankets instead of sheets. 4. Not eat
ing and drinking at the same time.

German Riding School.

The "E~quitation" or officers riding
school in Hanover, Germany, is proha-
bly, the most complete institution of its
kind in the world, and it is mainly ow-
ing to its ~thoroughness that the light
cavalry of the German Army is so eff
Gent in the field. The best rider in
each cavalry regiment is, upon recon-
mendation of his Colonel, sent there for
a period of three years, and, being al
ready a good rider when he goes, re-
turns to his regiment at the end of that
time a most accomplished one, and rem
ders valuable service to the riding class
es of his corps. An officer at the "Equi-
ta5ion" rides four or five horses a day,
and, as these are continually changed
he becomes familiar with every vice
known among horses. Particular at
tention is given to the breaking i'll Of
"'remounts" or young horses destined
to the cavalry service, and the officers
usually find their relaxation in steeple
chases and ''paper hunts" wherein
Colonel Rosenberg, who was in charge
of the "Equitation" for a long time
earned the reputation of being perhaps
the most admirable horseman in Ger
many. Riding is very well taught a
West Point, but it seems a pity tina
officers assigned to cavalry regiments d.
not receive a special training that would
enable them to raise the standard o
Craftsmanship in their branch of tn,
J service.

At the late election New York adopt
ed a constitutional amendment forbid
ding counties containing a city of over
100, 900 population and cities of that
size to become indebted for any purpose,
or in any manner, to an amount greater
than 10 per cent. on the assessed valua-
ton, and provides that all debts in ex-
cess of this limit hereafter contracted
shall be absolutely void. The proposed
amendment further provides that the
tax rate for county or city purposes in
any county containing a city of over
100, 900 inhabitants, or in any city OF
that size, shall not exceed 2 per cent.
1t is said that the cities affected by this
prohibition contain one-half the popu-
lation of the state and three-quarters OF
its taxable property. The Evening
Post says ''the whole state is infected
with the disease" of running in debt for
purposes which do not pay. In some
counties the towns are indebted to four
ninths their valuation, and in others to
one-third. Since 1860 the property Of
New York city has doubled and the
taxes have q~uadrupled.

A movement is on foot to transplant
the Concord School of Philosophy to

Dry August and warm
Doth harvest no harm.

Within the arctic circle 1.-THE mid
night sun" has now lost his power, and
the forces of congelation are getting in
to play. But the first effect of this
change is small in our ATTITUDES. Tho
probabilities now are that, with two or
three "cool waves" intervening, which
Will cause frosts in the Northwest and
northern New England Cbut not so
heavy as those of last September), the
average temperature of the present
month will be higher than it usually is
in the sections east of the Mississippi
river. 1t is also probable that during
the next two or three weeks exception
ally heavy rainfalls will occur in the
Northwest and the upper Mississippi
and lower Missouri valleys, and rather
deficient precipitation on the Atlantic
seaboard, except in the event of the
passage of more than one hurricane
emerging from the tropics. In the abb
sence of distinct indications of these
much dreaded ocean disturbances, it
seems premature to say anything def
mite as to when one of them may be
heard from. But, looking at the recent
exceptional meteorological changes on
the continent and the period of the year,
it is highly probable that a West Indian
cyclone will be reported by or before
the 10th inst.-New York Herald.

The Anomalous Summer.


Though the ''harvest moon" has be-
gun to wane, the summer of 1884 has
up to yesterday tenaeiously held sway
over almost every section of the country.
1t has from the beginning been q sea-
son marked by anomalies. On the Pa
eifc coast, where usually the summer
rains hardly suffice to wet the gauges,
the rainfall for last June was at some
points greater than ever known. Al
one period it was relatively cold in this
torrid REGION of the Gulf of Mexico and
most unduly warm in the frigid North
west. Comparatively unfruitful in the
grand tornadoes, it was rich in local
transforms, though in the Southwest
it was a droughty season. In the all
important element of temperature it,
development was equally eccentric, the
midsummer being characterized by
"'cool waves" surging down from the
eastern Rocky Mountain slopes; and
when the season, astronomically speak
ing, had closed, its powerful reserve
force was displayed in the recent glow
ing "warm waves" extending from the
great plains to the Atlantic.
The meteorological reports for this
portion of the middle Atlantic seaboard
show that until the second week OF
August the summer of 1884 was remark
ably cool. The average heat of june
was slightly below the usual figures for
the Middle States, and three degrees be-
low for all the Southern States and
| T....-..o Nh o0aV Nap,4NnrafUpa al
New York for July was II deg.-the
lowest mean recorded here in thirteen
years. In Philadelphia the mean tenn
perature of July, as given by the public
ledger, is 71.5, which is also the lowest
recorded there for July within the
last thirteen years. The August returns
show that the thermal mean in Philadel-
phia and New York was also a little be-
low the average for that month.
On June Is the Herald prognostica-
lions for the summer stated that from
all meteorological data now within reacl
the probabilities are that the coming
summer willnot be marked by excessive
ly high mean temperature gin the lake
districts, nor generally on the eastern
side of the country north of the Caro-
linas and Tennessee" The observation
already published prove that the latte
part of this forecast has been fulfilled
The p%remonitions which we gave tn,
public in June-that the "cool waves
might be expected to occur till July 10
and there was no need to rush to tn
J seaside and mountain resorts-were alst
| justified by the very conspicuous mid
