MEETING or SUPERINTENDENTS,
At the last annual meeting of the pub
lie school superinlcndcnts of Texas, held
in New Orleans during the great eXposi-
tlon, It was decided to hold the next con
yention in the city of Fort Worth. They
win accordingly assemble here on the
2sth inst, and TIE GAZETTE calls at
tention to the fact because they
constitute u body Of the best known
and most experienced educators in
the state. The superintendent OF
schools in the larger cities like Calves
ton, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Fort
Worth, and in smaller places also, where
Instruction is under municipal manage
ment have no common duties TO perform,
no ordinary responsibilities resting upon
them. On their tact, intelligence, zeal
and capacity for managing depends
the success of public education in
any particular place, Is any one
city ahead In this respect, to whom
belongs the honor To the superintend.
cnt Of course, just as much as the credit
of a glorious victory in war belongs to
the sklliul general who organized his
men and planned the conduct Of the bat
tie.
The superintendent Of our state are
supposed to represent, and doubtless do
as whole, the highest learn.
Ing, the broadcast culture and the
most scientific methods known to
their noble calling, 1t would not be
strange ii here and there were found OK
ccptions TO this high standard. Our sys-
TEN OF schools Is yet in It's infancy, and
perfection lies a long way In the future
This much, however, is certain, that the
incompetent men, those who are not in
tended by nature rs trainers OF youth, or
who are lacking in executive abil-
ity or scholarship, cannot long re-
main in such high and rcspon

TRUE ECONOMY.

Every one must practice true economy to succeed
in life But it is economy to buy ''shoddy'' arti
cles: bad Flour bad Butter and bad Food of any
kind are not economical to at any price; thou
sand times is 'tshoddy'' medicine that pre-
tends to cure, but makes the patient worse.
E- As the best food is the cheapest because it is
nutritious and strengthening to the whole system,
in small quantities, even in SIN II coses; there
fore always keep in mind these ten solid facts.

Hunts kidney and Liver Remedy, for the diseases
it is prepared for than in barrel of the so-caled
cures; the dose is from 90 to 80 drops.

the Liver, Stomach, Kidneys Blad Ter and Urinary
organs, creates marvellous appetite and rebulids
the entire system, and it is Never known to fail"

in this procedure, which may account for the
failure to appear of a few competent men.
On the other hand, it is reported that men
who scarcely know morphine from white
sugar are crowding into the retail trade. The
community ought to be protected against
such men.
In his recent Lettsomian lectures on indi-
gestion DR.. Lander Brunton declares acid
fruits to be indigestible and apt to cause in
testina1 irritation. He believes sour wines to
be peculiarly liable to cause indigestion, and
when taken regularly to cause gastric ca
tarrh. The tannin in tea interferes very con-
siderably with the indigestion of fresh meat
though such is not the case with dried meat,
such as ham or tongue. Tea at breakfast is
not apt to produce gastric disorders, but af-
ternoon teas are pronounced bad. Infusions
of tea should be eight drawn" and drained
from the leaves before serving. as by this
means only small portion of the taunin be-
comes dissolved in it.
The New York legislature called upon the
railroad commissioners to state whether, in
their opinion, it would be good policy to
reouce Gne ten per cent prom guarantee TO
the railroads before requiring reductions of
fare and freight, so as to equalize the reduc-
ton in the legal rate of interest. The ma
jority reported that the railroads were in
poor condition, sixty-nine having no net in
come, while about eighty-three remaining
roads have made only from 4.63 to $3.50 per
cent on the capital. The minority report
opposes reducing the guaranteed ten per
cent on roads which have been honestly con-
structed and honestly conducted or have suf-
fered from unavoidable drawbacks.

lfrOm Cne SATURDAY ReVleW.l
To certain extent the aims of the Camor-
ra in Sicily have grown with the growth of its
power. In the face of so powerful an asso-
citation it became necessary for those who
did not belong to it to take steps to guard
their own interests, and most of them did SO
by seeking its protection. This could be OBJ
tanned by the payment of tribute, which
consisted of fixed tax OF a percentage on
profits. Thus the association claims, and
has long claimed, right to levy an impost
on all meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables
posed for sale in the markets, on all goods
sold in the streets, on the winnings in all
games of chance played in public, and on all
cab hire. Very stringent laws have been en-
acted against this practice, and the govern
ment has from time to time made energetic
efforts to suppress it, but without success.
The peasants and fishermen are eager to pay
the illegal tax. The threat not to accept it
will awe the most refractory among them in
to obedience to the other regulations of the
association, for they know that if the
tenance of the society is Withdrawn it will
soon become impossible for them to visit the
market. For week or two they may thrive
under the exceptional care of the police, but
as soon the attention of the authorities
lakes, customers will be crowded away from
their stalls, their goods will be pilfered, and
their boats carts, the case may be,
either seriously injured or put vexatiously
out of gear. The mere fact that the Camor
Ia has ceased to favor so and SO is enough to
expose him to the violence and the wiles of
half the roughs and thieves of the district, as
well as to the tricks and torments OF the
most impish crowd of street boys that any
European town can show. The Camorra
dues are, therefore, an insurance against
theft and annoyance. Those who pay them
are not members of the fraternity; therefore,
the most part know nothing of the constitu-
ton, and they can make no claim upon it,
except for protection on the way from the
gates of the town to the market place, and
during their stay there. This, however, is
highly valuable, and it is honestly exercised.
Some years ago party of fishermen brought
rather unusual supply to market, and left
their wares standing at the accustomed place
while they went into a neighboring coffee
house to breakfast. They were stolen, and
the men applied to the official representative
of the Camorra naturally an English
man would to the police. He asked some
questions, took few notes, and then bade
them leave the market for a time, and como
back at certain hour. They did 50, and on
their return found their fish standing where
they had originally left it; mot a sardine
was missing" SIch events are constantly
occurring

THE WHALES TAIL.
The Tremendous Propulsory ApPara-
tus of the Great Fish.

tuS of the Great Fish.
[From Longman's Magazine.l
The power of this tremendous propulsory
apparatus is almost beyond conception. The
weight of a full-grown whale may be appre-
ciated when the reader reflects that the ia
nous elephant Jumbo would have to be
multiplied many times before his weight
would equal that of large whale. Yet the
late Captain Scott, Royal Navy, told me that
when on the quarter deck of his own ship he
repeatedly saw the whales leaping in mere
play SO high out of the water that the hori-
zon was clearly visible under them. Now,
Captain Scott lived to be nearly one hundred
years old, and when he was in active service
the quarter deck of a man ofwar was at
least thirty feet above the water; add to this
measurement his own height Che being rather
a tall MANI and the reader can then appreci-
ate the terrific power of the animals tail. l
may here mention that this habit of spring
ing out of the water is called preaching" by
vhalers Besides the great muscular appa-
ratus which has just been mentioned, the
whale possesses another muscle which sur
rounds the body; it is scientifically and hap
pi1y called the ''pannieulus carnosus"--or
sEfeshy rag'-and is developed in various
ways according to the animal 1t is with
this muscle that the dog shakes his skin
when he comes out OF the wafer
The hedgehog has it very powerfully de-
veloped, IN order in enable it to coil itself
into tha spiky ball with which we are SO ia
miIiar. The manis, arnladillo and echidna
also possess it and use it for similar pur-
pose Man has hui very little of 1t, tie
chief vestiges being the muscles of the face,
which give to the human countsnance its
changing expressions. The whale wants it
for tive purposes. He wants it to enable
him to bend kis body-a function easily OBJ
served in the dolphins as they curve their
graceful course through the sea; but chiefly
he needs it because by contracting it he can
make his body heavier than corresponding
bulk of water. This he has no difficulty in
doing, and when he wishes to seek the sur
face he has only to relax the pressure, when
the body regains the original size and be-
comes lighter than the proportionate bulk of
water. By means of thus muscle the hippo
potamus, the elephant and the seal can sink
themselves below the surface and rise again
without moving limb. For want of it man
cannot perform this feat, and the best swim
mer in the world would not be able to SINK
or rise again to the surface without moving
hand or foot.
