es The Boston Herald favors the idea and
 has the following to say concerning the value
 of the school: Probably the school board
 never made an addition to it's curriculum that
 was as popular in all respects and was 80 we'll
 thought of by the parents of the scholars as
 this particular branch of study, which came in tke nature of an innovation. It is essen- tially practical in every respect, for the les sons received at the Tennyson street school admit of almost immediate application in the ordinary home life of the pupils. Before this instruction was given the knowledge of how to make bread was an art that was practical 1y unknown in g great number of households, the inmates of these depending for their SUD- plies of this kind of food upon purchases made at bakesheps. But of late in hundreds of households the compromising and baking of bread are now done at home with admira- ble results both in the quality of the article produced and in the expense attending it's production. So, too, in reference to the quality and character of food best adapted for sustaining life. The instruction given at the cooking school has led in very large number of instances to radical changes in household methods, this being especially ia the feeding of young children.

REFORm IN VOTING.


 The legislatures of several States will this winter try to make some reform in election methods. The New York legislature will be called upon to consider at least three bills dealing with this matter. One of them has already been introduced. It provides for the printing and distribution of ballots at the public expense, aad authorizes the ap- pointment of two ballot clerks of different political faith to attend to the additional work thus provided at each polling place. The polling places are to be enlarged and furnished with a compartment to which voters may retire to select their ballots. Two weeks before election day petitions to print ballots are to be handed to the officials charged with the conduct of elections. These petitions are to be signed in writing, and may come from county committees of each political party that cast one-tenth of the votes pelled at the last election, in which case they must be signed by the chairman and secretary of the committee. Petitions may come also from one per cent. of the vot- CTS themselves, in which case all the sigma lures of such voters must be appended and verified in the same manner as signatures to deed are. Every petition must be accom- panied by deposit of five dollars for every thousand votes cast by the political organiz- ation filing it. The money so received is to be used in aid of defraying the expense of printing, the county paying the deficiency in case the petition money is inadequate.
 The ballots are to be printed in books, each ballot to have it's own stub and to be numbered consecutively. Each set of peti- tions is to be entitled to books for it's own ticket, bearing it's party name or title, the same not to exceed two words. A full set of ticket-books is to be provided at each poll ing place before the polls are opened. When g voter comes to the polls, he will be handed full set of tickets, and his name and resi- dence will be inscribed upon the stubs by the clerks. He can then retire to the con- pa1tment and select one ballot of each of the kinds which he intends to vote and make such alterations upon them he wishes.
 This appears to be rather clumsy device At an election where there were several tickets in the field the voting would not pro gress very rapidly if the two clerks carried out the programme laid down for them. Some simpler plan than this will doubtless be devised

Ex-Letter Carrier Ipgharn.

B1~Aet69F C4rF1Sr 1D&MaHms To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I notice by 8 morning paper that Letter Carrier Ingham has been asked for and has given his resignation.
 Now, without at all going into the reasons assigned or real for the dismissal of so faith- ful public servant, or why it is that only known Republicans are in debt would like to make the suggestion that now as MT. Ing ham is out of the governments employ, and therefore at liberty to accept token of ap- preciation from those whom he has so faith fully served for so many years, those upon his route be offered the opportunity to con tribute to a testimonial fund to be given him. am sure that Hon. N. D. Sperry (although have not seen him on the subject) would gladly act as treasurer of such fund, and I am willing to start such a subscription with $500.
 Fred Ingham has been favorite all along his route for many years, always pleasant and obliging, and am sure that those he has served so long would be glad of an opportunity to contribute to such fund.
 Mir. highlands route covered the territory embraced by Orange, Elm, State and Law renee streets, requiring about twenty-three miles of travel each day, and I ana sure that the residents in that territory would be only too glad to assist in making him eontribu- ton in accordance with their means
 If MT. Sperry will signify his willingness to receive and acknowledge such subscrip- tions in the JOURNAL AND COURIER I think they would be forthcoming in good shape.

One Efeet of sham Battles.

Ths shan battle ahoat and ashore, while undoubtedly of great value in schooling officers and meH in a1ertness and precision, can scarcely be made sufficiently realistic to even approach the real thing. Those who know what the torpedo and torpedo boat have done in war must have been surprised to learn how small part they are made to take in the sham battle, and will find it hard to understand why, in all the sham engagements of recent years, the torpedo attack has been gravely set down as beaten of. In the sham battle it only seems nsces- sary to pick up torpedo boat out of the darkness at long range with an electric light to have it counted out of the fight; but it is certain that in war you can't destroy 8 torpedo boat with flash from voltaic arc

The Trick SOnae Boys Tried to Play
 on 3 College Professor.
 From Harper's Bazarl
 good story is told of the sage instructor in natural history at one of the eastern ool- leges. His class of fun-loving boys was en- couraged to bring to him any rare specimens of insects or other interesting natural ob- jeets which might be found, and there was quite rivalry in the collecting of these rari- ties
 With prospect of some rare sport, vari- ous of the common insects were dismem- bered, and the head of one kind, the legs of another, with the wings of 8 third, were carefully glued upon the trunk of one still different. At last an indeed strange-looking bug had been manufactured, and the design CTS of this new insect were satisfied that their work would certainly perp1ex the short sighted professor.
 With sober faces the committee took the wonderfully constructed specimen to the teacher, who at first sight thought he saw in in valuable acquisition to his collection. The class had crowded around with the ques- tion, 'fDocter, what kind of bug is that9' With considerable expectancy he had placed 1t in his microscope, and the latter was evi- dently too much for its artificial joints, but without changing his expression or removing his eye from the glass the professor replied, "Beys, guess this is Q member of the spa- ciea humbug."

THE HUSTLE IN A NEW ROLE. The Way ia Which 1t Saved 8 Young
 Lady's Life.

The Way ia Which 1t Saved a Young Lady's Life.
 THaywards (Cal) Journal.]
 We don't believe history has chronieled moro singular escape from death than occurred in Redwood canyon last week. The male sex, who an unfeeling lot, taken altogether, have severely criticised bustles, which are most important part of the female wardrobe, but after reading this thrilling episode they should forever hold their peace." A handsome young lady of sweet IF arrived from Arizona a couple of weeks ago, and spent 8 very pleasant visit with friends in the above canyon. One evening when the head of the family was away the milking naturally fell on the female portion of the household. The Arizona fair one at once offered to do her share, but the aunt protested. The protest was of no avail, however, and shortly afterward she started for the corral, pail in hand, typical Maud Muller. The young lady was just in the act of milking when ferocious bull spied her. and at once started the warpath. It was critical position; and, as the bull came charging at her with lowered herns and blood in his eye, the young lady quietly dropped on the ground, face downward, and lay as still as death. This naneUvrs was something new for the bull, and he was for a moment nonplused; but he soon re- covered from his surprise and made for the prestrate maiden; and had it not been for that hustle the young lady never would have lived to tell this exciting experience. The bull gored that tenderly framed air castle called hustle, until it gave way, and he retired with the trophy. The aunt saw the charge and was about to run in, when the brave girl called out to keep back or else both would be killed. As it turned out, the bull, after discovering the hustle, concluded that he had made a slight mistake, and retired from the battle. Had the young lady started to run the bull would very likely soon have overtaken and killed her. Hereafter all young ladies should have an extra hustle in reserve when they go into the country and play the milkmaid ant

Indeed, if only one got close aboard and dis charged it's projecrile, life preservers would, like enough, be in greater demand even than gunners.
 Our French contemporary, Revue de Cava- lerie, cites one instance of the fatal effect sham battle exercise has upon cavalry. At the battle of Worth (Franeo-Prussian can- paign) a small body of the Eighth Cuiras siers and Sixth Lancers, while in retreat from Morsbroun, came suddenly upon the Thirteenth Uhlans Prussian), supported at short distance by more cavalry. A captain of the Eighth promptly formed upon his men, the charge sounded and the Frenchmen dashed forward. But the Prussian cavalry did not move, as if determined to receive the shock at standstill. This was so unexpect- ed that the French horse, as if remembering the order of sham fight, drew up their horses ct pistol-shot range. Neither side did any thing. Had single man rushed forward with the standard at this point it were cer- tain melee would have followed. As it was both sides emptied revolvers and carbines, and the Frenchmen, discovering they were vastly outnum bered and that there was noth- ing to be gained by lighting, turned and fed
