THE BAGGING TRUST CHECKED.

The jute bagging trust has come to
grief. Fostered by government draw
backs it attempted to push its grasping
paws farther into the surplus than the
law permitted, and received stunning
blow from vigilant treasury officials.
During the past three years the prac-
tice of the treasury department has
boen to allow drawbacks on iute bag
ging on the presentation of the ship
agents manifests, without requiring any
further evidegac of ownership. Under
this interpret9tio OF the law, Il gigan
tic combinatiSh was formed among the
exporters of New York and other cities,
for the purpose of cultivating the draw
back to the fullest extent. The jute was
used principally on cotton bales. The
southern cotton .!shippers were kept in
ignorance of the scheme, while the
commission man in New York and other
ports realized the benefit. The COM
bination grew to such proportions that
it practically controlled the business
and had stationed agents at all foreign
ports to which cotton was shipped to Sc
cure nanifests and powers OF attorney
to collect the draw backs. The success
of the scheme ntiated the members, and
IL plan was perfected to force through
the treasury department u claim for
drawbacks on all iute used in cotton
wrapping in the last twenty-four years.
They were securing the world for lists
of shipments from ship agents
| and exporters agents, and had
| employed prominent Maryland
| attorney to push the claim.
The arrogance of the combine caused
| it's downfall. The enormous increase
| in the claims for drawbacks aroused
the suspicious of the treasury officials,
| and an investigation developed the
true statesof affairs. In many instances
| drawbacks had been paid to persons not
| entitled to them, and the owners of the
cotton robbed of legitimate profits. The
amount wrongfully paid is not yet
| known, but is likely to reach into the
| hundreds of thousands, and it is certain
| that the government will be called
upon to refund the money.
| The vigilance of the treasury officials
| puts an end to "A grasping combination.
| Hereafter drawbacks will be paid
only to the actual exporters, upon
| presentation OF satisfactory evidence
that the baggiag was made of imported
material. The change in the regula-
tions will save the government thou
ands of dollars, and put quietus on a
claim which, If successful, would have
taken from twenty-five to forty million
dollars fro the treasury

WILL electric wonders never cease? ?
Every day brings some new and start
ling application of the subtle force of
electricity. The Electro Automatic
Transit company, recently organized in
Baltimore, has demonstrated that its
system of packet express can virtually
annlhilate distance. Mail matter and
light packages can be shot through
space at the rate Of three miles min
ute. The number OF uses to which this
system can be put are innumerablo, and
its successfully operation throughout
the country will effect a revolution as
important as the invention and opera
tion of the telegraph. New York mails
can be carried to Omaha in night, and
perishable goods and like hight freight
moved with equal dispatch. The posi-
bilities of electricity are boundless. Il
is the coming power OF the world.

AN interesting incident of the inn
proving thrift OF the southern people is
found in the growth of savings banks
In that section. UnUil three years ago
Maryland was the only southern state
which had bank that was exclusively
savings institution, but since then
such banks have been established in
North and South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama, and these states report over
twenty-three thousand depositors with
savings amounting to nearly six million
dollars. The development OF thrift
which this attests Is one of the hopeful
signs in the south.

THE appropriation of forty thousand
dollars for q statue of General Sheridan
is now available, and it is probable that
designs will at once be called for. The
statue is to be erected in Washington
and it is suggested that the library
committee of congress may choose as n
model the statuette by Thomas Kelly
representing Sheridan on his famous
ride, this design having greatly pleased
the little hero. The statuette shows
the horse in full gallon with ''all his
irons in the air." the support for the
figure of man and horse being tree
stump rising up under the right stirup.
The idea is said to be ingenious and
apparently capable of execution in
bronze. The statue of Sheridan ought
to be,a vigorous and impressive work OF
art, which would convey to posterity a
just idea of the hero OF the Shenandoah.

1t is plain that tubercles and bones
are composed of the same elements,
with the difference only that in bones
mineral substances predominant, in
stead that IN tubercles, on the con-
trary, they are animal substances.
But it might cicatriXically happen
ed to tubercles, what normally hap
pen to bones; that animal material
changes into salino-calcareOus, and
that tubercles pass to a cretaceous
state.
DIR. BoyerQ) remarked, that, when
cretaceous separation takes place,
tubercles pass by three phases, SIM
liar to those which occur in osteOgeny;
tubercles at first are gelatineous, then
pass to crude state, and at last, take
by degrees the calcareous form.
This transformation is not ontestsd,
ancients themselves acknowledged
the facts, and we fine examples of this,
in Gallienus and in Paul Egyna.
Amongst moderns, many authors,
such as Bonnet, Bayle, Laenne, Cru
veilheir, Andral, Royce, Matalis
Gulllot, Bean, have investigated this
subject.
And it is not on aged persons only,
that appear these fibrous or calcar-
eous cicatrix, they are found also on

NEW EDUCATIONAL IDEAS IN FRANCE.

Paris is providing Fairgrounds at
the public expense for its school
children. The work has been begun
by setting apart 4 portion of the
Bois de Bouogne for the pupils Of
the institutions analogous to our
high schools, and it is to be followed
by laying out Fairgrounds for the
other schools. France in the last
five years has seen great change IN
the attention paid to physical eXer-
else in the schools, and this is one of
the fruits. German gymnastics are
recognized as one of the secrets of
the physical efficiency of the troops
in the tield,and every effort is making
to introduce them in French schools,
where they are greatly needed. Any
American city, however, would pro-
fit by following the example of
Paris. City school children need
exercise more than they need any
thing else.- Philadelphia Press.
