aid. Engines from st. Paul and Min.

EFFECTS OF OPIUM.
How Caiifornians Enjoy Life In

CHICAGO, April 6.-Jennie Woods, Q
handsome woman OF 20, was taken from
an opium den here yesterday, and died
soon afterward from the effects OF smok
ing-as it is declared-ten pipes of the
deadly opiate. Her husband, travel
ing agent for the electric light company
was in New York at the time. 1t il
stated that she went out with medical
student and accompanied him TO den
kept by a ChinaEan named Sam Lee
and his white wife, both OF whom were
arrested last night. She left there with
her male companion. who succeeded in
getting her to her room, where she died
before a physician could be sum.
moned. Her companion has dis.
appeared. Her identity has not been
made clear, but ii is stated that she is
from California, where her parents are
now supposed to live. Her maiden
name was Jennie Ii. Reynolds. One
result of her death was the raiding Of
three opium Joints last night and the
arrest OF thirty inmates in the basement
at the corner OF Charles Place and
West Van Buren, street. Am Yuh, the
proprietor and live white visitors were
found, among whom was Pat Kelley
an escaped convict from San Quentin,
California. Three others are described
as "crooks" from California who first
learned the habit among the Chinese
dens Of San Francisco.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1886-04-07

many of the subjects Of instruction
taught in our high schools. Leaving
out all considerations OF culture and
treating of the subject only in the light
of money getting, men who have
made money witheut much education
usually overlook the advantages Of a
good education in childhood.
No one can say for himself how much
difference there would be to him be-
tween having a knowledge of certain
subjects and not having it. But
though education cannot create inher-
ent qualities it can and does develop
those we have.
Each of the sciences has its appropri
ate application. Astronomy for in.
stance being of harmless nature is con.
sidered particularly appropriate fol
girls.
A State cannot become bankrupt
through educating its children.
| Prof. Ira More, of the State Normal
School, spoke at some length on the
| subject, "What are correct habits OF
study, and how can we aid pupils in
forming them?' That only is study
which consists in shutting out every
II
such study is worth five hours of that
mental wandering which some people call
study. People who go through life
without knowing where they are or
what they have been doing, are not
thinking at all but only resting.
Children do not look very far off for
their rewards. We must give them
tasks that have definite end. Work
well done brings a Abstraction that play
never does. 1t is not necessary to
spatter children all over with praise to
| get them to do their best.
Prof. Mors's remai ks proved very in
teresting. After pleasant recess of 20
minutes and music by the committee,
the following question was discussed
Resoiped, That strict method OF
grading ia accordance with the course of
study cannot be maintained in the DIS
trict schools.
j. N. Keran, for the affirmative,
maintained that nothing good can be
accomplished without a plan, and it
should be left to the teachers own
originality to adopt the course to his
special circumstances. The district
school does not continue sufficient
length of time, nor do the children at
tend regularly enough.
Mr.. Keran showed many good reasons
why the course cannot be strictly fol-
lowed.
Mr.. L. T. Pierce, Mrs. C. B. Jones,
Mr.. w. w. Seaman, Mr.. j. w. String
field and Mr.. A. w. Plummer.
The result of the discussion was that
both those on the affirmative and those
on the negative agreed that on account
OF irregul Ar attendance and other causes
it is very difficult, if not impossible, to
follew out the course except on the sur
face rather than in substance.
Superintendent Meredith. of Ventura
county, was then introdoc ID by the
President. He expressed his emphatic
belief that uniform course should be
carried out, and desultory pupils should
not he allowed to interfere with the
grading of the school at all A great
part Of the difficulty is because these ir-
regular pupils themselves come from
schools not properly graded. He thought
it very good thing to have course OF
study, and a County Board on which to
heap o great deal of the abuse that the
patient teacher is often called upon to
endure. And it is also safeguard to
the people against the inefiiciency Of
certain teachers.

How the Trunk Lines captured

1t.
SAN FRAScIsoo, April 6.-The Chron
icle tomorrow will publish an artiel'
showing the methods adopted by tn,
overland railroads in the disposition oI
the so called Pacific mail subsiding fund
The article in substance charges that
altogether undeithe last agreement o.
the overland roads to pay the Pacific
mail eighty-fve thousand dollars month
ly to cease composition. The railroads
shipped an average of fifty thousand
dollars monthly by Pacific mails;eamers,
leaving balance Of only thirty five
thousadd dollars month to be paid. The
Chronicle says that even this amount
the overland roads managed to avoid
paying. They collected, as charged
through the medium Of an advance rate
system, from all Eastern trunk and Iowa
lines, a certain proportion TO be applied
to what was termed steamship fund, :
and out OF which the balances due the
Pacific Mail were paid. The Chronici,
will publish figures to show that in the
division Of the excess which remained in
this fund after pay ing the Pacific Nails
balance, the Eastern trunk aud Iowa
lines were completely ignored notwith.
standing the fact that the latter roads
had contributed 25 per cent TO the
fund.
