Kentuoky's Sligo Education


The Superintendent of Public In
struction for Kentucky announces
that the common-ss school fund this
year will be large enough TO give
$l.65 for the education of each child
of requisite aye in the State. In
most districts no additional money
will he raised for the benefit of the
schools. Only $l.65 for years edit
cation! 1t is less than the price of a
glass of beer once week; not as
much as the average voter is begin
ming to get for going to The polls too
little to buy circus-tickcts for taml-
ly; il is such a sum as every man III
the State might afford to throw away
once in year without feeling any
loss. One dollar and sixty-live cents
is a paltry sum in any connection,
and there's almost nothing that can
be bought with it that would not be
deemed insignificant. Education
that costs only $l.65 a year is not
worth enough to be respected. l;
suggests lazy, unkempt, tobacco
chewing teachers, in Lighthouses with
broken Window anes, from which
poor children absent themselves for
the want of clothing to keep out the
cold and richer children stay away
from pride. Six years are as many
as one attends q common school, and
at $lG5 a year Kentucky expects a
young man to be educated on 50 80!
Ii wouldn't buy a decent suit of
clothes, or a reliable six-shootcr, or
take a man OH a single trip across the
State. 1t is 10 wonder that the Ken
lucky is full of people who seem not
to appreciate education. They
wouldn't appreciate many other
things that cost only $l.G5. This
$lG5 education is something fol
KcntIckians TO blush at; it makes
other people mock at us. Yet the
Taxpayers of Kentucky say that theil
burdens are as heavy as they can
bear. 1t may be that they are right
And when we point TO other States
with bigger school-funds and bette
common schools, the people respond
that The taxpayers alone in thos'
States did not build up those grea
educational systems. From Comec
ticut to California, from Michigan I,
Texas, the liberalty of the Fedora
government enabled the people to of
fer their youth something better tina
a $l.65 education. If Kentucky ca
not afford to do better than this with
out help, it is false pride that wi
prevent her from accepting such hel
from the outside as has advance,
other States.

IRON CRYSTALS.
Good Steel Presenting the Appearance Of
Groups of Beautiful Crystals.

An exchange says that the microscop-
ic determination of the different quail
ties of iron and steel is now regarded as
one of the most valuable aids in metal
lurgical industries. Thus the crystals of
iron are double pyramids in which the
proportion of the axes to the bases sva-
ries with the quantity of the iron; the
smallness of the crystals and the height
of the pyramids composing each ele-
ment are in proportion to the quality
and density of the metal, which are seen
in the fineness of the surface; and as the
proportion of the carbon diminishes in
the steel, the pyramids have so much
the less height. In pig iron and the
lower qualities of hard steel the crystals
approach the more closely the cubic
form Forged iron has its pyramids
fattened and reduced to superposed
parallel leaves, whose structure consti-
tutes what is called the nerve of the
steel; and the best quality of steel has
all its crystals disposed in parallel lines.
each crystal filling in the interstices be-
tween the angles of those adjoining,
these crystals having their axes in the
direction of the percussion they undergo
during the working. Practically, good
steel has the appearance, microscope
cally, of large groups of beautiful crys-

The Draft Horses of France.

While some people in America call
all horses imported from France Nor
mans, IL is a fact that there is no breed
in France called by that name by the
French people; the name. Norman,
therefore, is purely American. The
principal breeds of France are known
as Percherons and Boullanais. The
Percherons are the most highly priced of
all French races, and all departments
of France 60 to the Perche for stations
to improve their local breeds. The
Percheron stud book of France, pub
lished under the authority of the French
Government, is the only stud book of
draft horses that is or erer has been pub
hshed in France, and now contains the
pedigrees of about 5000 animals. But
some importers are offering certificates
from France of Norman draft horses
that may mislead people who do not
understand the French language into
believing these records of origin. Not
one of them issued contains pedigree.
They are furnished at the request of
American buyers by the secretary of
one of the French Agricultural socie-
ties, who says there is no intention OF
publishing them in stud book form. as
they have no pedigrees and are of no
value whatever. 1t is a well known
fact that what man gives for horse
over from $500 to $SO0-the price of a
good grades paid for purity of blood;
and where the seller is not able to give
the recorded pedigree of the animal
sold as evidence of additional value, he
has no right to ask it. With these facts
before him, no intelligent man will buy
horse imported from France unless
he is recorded with his pedigree in full
in the Percheron Stud Book of France.
