A BILL has passed both Houses of
furnishing of school text books at the
least possible cost. Under its provis
ions each Board of Education is au-
thorized to agree upon what books are
to be used in the schools under its
charge. and to purchase them at whole
sale direct from the publishers at the
least cost possible to obtain good books.
The books are then to be furnished to
the pupils at their Wholesale cost price,
and books once adopted cannot be
changed for five years. This will tend
to cure many of the evils that now
exist. and will tend to cheaper the
price of books to our public schools.

Fuel of Largo Steamers.

An English contemporary, In reply
ing to correspondent who asks how
many tons Of coal slsrgs steamship
consumes in a day, quotes the follows
ing facts from a pamphlet entitled
Bottled Sunshinss, issued by It. b.
Purnell x Sons, of Exeter: Ocean
steamers are large consumers of coal.
The Orient line, with their fleet Of ships
running to Australia every two weeks,
may be mentioned. The steamship
Austral went from London to Sydney
in thirty-five days, and consumed on
the voyage 3.64l tons of coal; her coal
bunkers hold 2,750 tons. The steam
ship Oregon consumes over $50 tons
per day on her passage from Liverpool
to New York; her bunkers will hold
nearly 1900 tons. The Sterling Castle
last year brought home in one cargo
100 tons Oftea, and consumed $500
tons of coal in doing 40. Immense
stocks Of coal are kept at various coal
ing stations, st. Vincent, Madeira Port,
Said, Singapore. and Others; the re-
serve at the latter place is about 10000
tons. Ii is remarkable with what rap
idity these steamers are coaIed; for in
stance. the Orient steamship last year
took in over ! 100 tons at Port Said in
five hours"

Rest Awhile.

You are wearing out the vital forces
faster than there is any need, aud in
this way subtracting years from the
sum total of your life. This rush and
worry, day after day, this restless anx-
Iety for something you have not got, is
like pebblestones in machinery; they
CRATE and grind the life out of you.
You have useless burdens; throw them
off! You have "a great load of useless
care; dump it! Pull i'm the strings, COM
pact your business; take time for
thought of better things. Go out into
the air and let Gods sun shine down
upon your busy head. Stop thinking
of business and profit; stop grumLling
at adverse providences. You will prob
ably never seen much better time in
this doomed world, and your most OPP.
perfume season is now; your happiest
day is to-day. Calmly do your duty
and let God take care of his own world
He is still alive and is the King. Do
not imagine that things will go to
everlasting smash when you disappear
from this mortal stage. Do not fancy
that the curse of heaven. in the shape
of the vain tasks of righting up a dis
jointed earth, IL imposed upon you.
Cease to fret and fume; cease to jump
and worry early and late, The good
time is coming. but you can never
bring it. God can and will. Take
breath, sir; sit down and rest, and take
II long breath. Then go calmly to the
tasks of life and do your work well.

A Wsrk for the Common School

Who of us do not look back over his
early school days with regret for the
hours spent In memorizing rules OF
grammar and arithmetic and dry de-
tails of geography and history, only to
be forgotten long before the time came
for their use, while knowledge that
would have been of daily service, and
therefore could not have been forgotten,
was allowed to lie neglected?
Why should We not teach our chill
dren the names and rabbits of birds,
insects and flowers, things which they
see in their daily playing, and which
they will soon recognize as assistants or
competitors in the struggle for exis
tence, rather than burden them
with names of distant and obscure
places, dates of long past events, or
abstract rules of grammer and math-
etics which they cannot now compre-
bend, and which they will oe compell-
ed to relearn when they come TO the age
at which they can use them?
These are hints, only, at the posi-
bilities Of the common school. They
are offered by one who sorely realizes
the loss suffered in his childhood, by
the failure of teachers to comprehend
that through the medium of natural
history lay the opportunity for the
most valuable training in habits of OBJ
servation and refiection-just those
habits most needed by the citizen
as well as for the accumulation of such
a store of knowledge as would have
been of greatest service in the life
work of his maturer years.
| 1t is very true that there are as yet
but few teachers who have any quail
fication for this peculiar work; but il
lies with the Grange, and with the
very few agricultural colleges W hich
have shaken Off the educational super.
stitions inherited from the dark ages, to
see that the work of preparing such
teachers be no longer neglected.

A Washington dispatch says the
United States Senate, in its last execu-
tive session, consumma Ell one of the
grossest Outrages upon West Point and
the army which it has perpetrated at
the present session. A cadet, who was
about to be found deficient u short time
since, resigned to escape the disgrace
He at once, through social influence
exerted there, secured nomination
from the President as Second Lieuten-
ant. The Senate had full knowlede of
the case, ana still confirmed him. As
a result the young man, who could not
maintain himself as a cadet, takes rank
in the army two years ahead of those
cadets whom he left in his own class to
struggle through their course.

Hurtful Reading.
Weekly Gazette.

"A bad book, magazine, or newspaper
Is as dangerous to your child Us a vicious
companion, and will as surely corrupt
his morals and lead him away from the
path of safety. Every parent should
set this thought clearly before his mind
and ponder it well. Look to what your
children read, and especially to the
KIND OF papers that get into their hands,
for there are now published scores of
weekly papers, with attractive and sem
suous illustrations, that are as hurtful
to young and innocent souls as poison
to healthy body. Many of these
papers have attained a wide circulation.
and are sowing broadcast the seeds of
vice and crime. Trenching on the
borders of indecency, they corrupt the
morals, faint the imagination, and al>
lure the weak and unguarded from the
paths of innocence. The dangers to
young persons from this cause Were
never 80 great as at this time, and
every father and mother should be on
their guard against an enemy that is
sure to meet their child. Look to it,
then, that your children are kept as
free us possible from this faint. Never
bring into your house a paper or peri
odical that is not strictly pure. See to
1t that an abundance of:the purest and
healthiest reading is placed before your
children. hungry lambs will eat
| poison, but if well fed on good food, they
let the poison alone. If you wish to
save your own children and the chill
dren of Others, do all you can to sustain
and circulate healthy, moral literature.

How to Save Your Boy

The land is overrun with tramps and
the increase. Ii IL time to look these
evils in the face and ascertain their
origin and the social conditions which
promote their growth.
In pursuing this investigation it is Of
the highest importance TO find out the
most potential factors of vagrancy and
vice. Fortunately, this is no very diff
ficult task. The statistics furnished by
some of our best and oldest prisons
throw flood of light upon the question.
The report of the warden of the West
ern Pennsylvania penitentiary may be
accepted as a reliable statement of facts,
and il is an easy matter, after reading
it, to draw the proper differences.
According to the report referred TO, of
the 574 prisoners received last year,
AZ never learned any trade, business
or profession, 20 learned a trade, and
% did some occasional, work without
having a regular calling. OF this num-
Der, 49s could read and write. and IS

moderate drinkers; l9l were occasion

Ii will be seen from these figures that
sobriety did not save these men, as 6S
per cent. of them We're temperate.
Education did not save them, as 81 per
cent. had an ordinary English educa-
ton. But So per cent. had no trade,
and when that fact is stated no further
explanation is required. 1t is utterly
useless to expect temperate and fairly
educated youth to make his way i'm the
world unless he is taught some useful
calling. IL he starts out in the world
wholly unprepared to earn an honest
living, sobriety and education will not
prevent him from becoming tramp or

his stand among those classes unless he
inherits wealth or some wonderful
IL is well TO brush away the generally
received idea that ignorance and in
temperance fill our prisons. The sta
tistics which we have quoted from a
State with white population are
matched by similar facts and figures
from the prisons of England and
France. Everywhere it will be found
that idleness and the lack of industrial
training are the main features of crime.
The lesson to be learned from this brief
summary should be kept before the
mind of every parent. The only way

On arriving at the island each was Ia

minutes, and then go about the island
until the meeting took place. The

been agreed on, the seconds went to the

are unnatural, and lack energy. The

Chimes and How They are Rune


Bells may be rung in two ways; first,
by swinging them with rope and wheel;
and secondly, by striking them either
upon the outside or inside with ham,
mers, the bell itself heing stationary.
In England the former method of rope
and wheel was almost universally
adopted, requiring a man for each bell.
From this method We get that inter-
esting and peculiarly English kind of
chime music known as the "changes,"
which gave England the name of the
Ringing Island. In Belgium, however,
the stationary method was used.
Chimes played i'm this manner were
runS by one person and called carillcns,
because the Italian quddriglio, or quad
rifle, ga dreary kind of dance music"
was the first ever played upon them.
To play upon carillons the performers
used an instrument known as the
"clavecIn," a kind of rough keyboard
arranged in semi-tones. Each key was
connected 10y wire or rope with hams
mer, which struck the bell when a
sharp blow was given the key with
gloved fist. This machine was neces-
sarily extremely crude at first; and,
since chimes have never been PLAYED
half so well as in the days of this ill.,
vention, il is all the greater wonder
that the art ever progressed at all.
Recently some great masterpieces in
chime music have been found, which
were composed and played at Louvain
in the latter half of the last century by
the most skillful and wonderful chimer
who ever lived, Matthias van den
Gheyn- No one In Europe or America
can now be found who is able to play
this music, which rivals in the depth
and subtlety Of its composition some
OF the finest works of Bach, Mozart or
Beethoven. Hence the inference is
that the art of playing carillons has
sadly declined, with small prospect of
ever recovering the lost ground.
