the nineties, and old ''Sol' sheds his
somewhat too genial rays upon the
heated landscape, causing the hus-
bandman to linger betimes at his
MONDAY meal, the merchant to loll
over his counter, the lawyer to doze
over a briefless case, the minister to

narcotic narration of biblical events
at such a season as this, when nature
seems to relax all her hold upon

But to the credit of the American
people be it said, that, notwithstand-

metal, from the verdure clad glades
steal thrilling strains of martial music,

Queen Nictoria's Footman.

FROM YOUTHS Companion.
In the days when Prince Albert had come to
WOO the queen of England the crowd of people
who wished to catch a glimpse of royalty as 10
promenaded upon the terrace of Windsor castle
was greatly increased by reason of the general
interest in the young couple. One day a York
shireman who had determined to get good
look at the queen appeared at the gates by
which the spectators were usually admitted,
and thus accosted a man, a footman evidently,
who was at the moment crossing the court
yard:
Look here, John, Robert. whatever they
call you, / COON from the country"
so hear" said the footman
well, I've never seen & queen. and want
to get a good sight of her. Now, can't you
just let me through them gates just afore The
t rest o t folks! want to get good place,
We see."
We'll. sir" said the man. Il don't know
whether 1 dare. 1 might lose my place, you
see"
Nay. nun, thou'n never lose thy place for
such thing as that. Thou can say TO { queen
that she hasn't gotten a more loyaller subject
than John Stokes. not in all Yorkshire. / mob
but want to go IN just afore G rest on EN-"
Well come along, then" said the man. He
opened the gate and the eager Yorkshireman
rushed through. As he did So an idea seemed
to strike him. and he stopped TO tender the
footman half-crown.
NO, thank you, sir" said the man, 1--WE are
forbidden to take fees"
Take it, nun. take it. Nobody II know"
NO, thank you. SIR"
The 1orkshireman secured foremost place
and In due time appeared the queen and
prince. More than that, conversing Familiarity
with her majesty was the footman.
Just look there cried the country visitor
to abystander. He's a-laughing and talking
to { queen like anythingI"
"Who?n

When the listeners laughter would allow him
to speak he explained.

Superfiuous knowledge.


There is really an amazingly wide difference
between what passes currently for knowledge
and educational schemes are apt to be valuable
or worthless in direct proportion to the extent
to which they take this fact into account.
Whoever has considered the subject must have
been struck with the vast amount of material
which goes to make up our curriculums. which
is the most worthless of rubbish from an edu-
catlonal standpoint, and which were better
eliminated. There are few branches taught in
our public schools to-day which could not adj
vantageously be weeded pretty extensively,
and in not a few instances il would be found,
after the wedding was done, that not a great
deal remained.
The commonest form Of superfuities in the
branches commonly pursued is that of details,
which would be of some value il the study
were carried far enough, but which are abso-
lutely valueless as il is. The names and places
of the consultations are useful and valuable as
a matter of celestial geography 10 those who
follow the study far enough really to need such
aids in locating the heavenly bodies, but Of
what earthly use, interest, or value is il to the
ordinary scholar Beyond general knowledge
of the half dozen consultations which have
by name place in literature the pupil does not
even derive any satisfaction, even the most su-
perficial from the laboriously learned and
easily forgotten string of names which
makes up SO large a portion of the contents
of most text books on astronomy. The student
who passes DAYS. weeks and months in that
busy idleness known as ''analyzing" flowers
has doubtless given the time to pleasant and
strictly moral form of amusement, but the
mind would have been as well exercised. re-
suits would have been valuable, and the
process quite as pleasant and moral had the
same labor be expended in solving the enig-
mas and riddles of the puzzle department of q
juvenile magazine. The chief difference would
be that in one case the learner might feel the
distaste arising from forced task; and in that
case the odds would be in favor of the riddle
guessing, wherein the mind would act freely
and spontaneously.
The principle of modern education is appa-
rently TO take the least possible quantity Of
knowledge. mix it with the largest possible guam
tity of superfuous matter, and then force it into
the students brain by machinery. OF course
that the information actually acquired in Q
given branch Of study is not TO be put to prac-
teal use is not in itself proof that the course
pursued is useless, since the mental training
and discipline gained may be the end sought
But this applies only to reasoning processes
and not to the dry accumulation Of facts, the
committing to memory of more or less elab-
crate TRIES which have no significance or use
to the mind. In the end the mind retains only
the significant but why should it waste so
much valuable time and strength in acquiring
the superfuous only to forget il?

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
Subdivisions Must Conform
to Prospective Extension of Streets.

Some days ago the Commissioners received
from Mr.. G. B. Hemingway subdivision
known as ''Greenvale," which he desired re-
corded. The subdivision borders on Hickey
road. Mr.. Hemingway, in his letter, says the
land in question is agricultural, and it would
be folly to lay off city lots anywhere in the To-
cality, as there is no demand for smaller pieces
than now exist. sit seems to me-" continues
Mr.. Hemingway, shat a landowner has q
right to subdivide his agricultural land into
halves, quarters, or eighths and to open a road
giving access thereto, and that any interference
with that right would be unconstitutional"
The matter was referred to Capt. Symons for
his views. In passing upon the case he recon-
mends that the subdivision be not approved,
for while the land is at present used for agri-
cultural purposes, it will ultimately become a
part of the suburbs of the city and must now
be regarded such, for such a subdivision
would stand in the way of the proper extension
OF the streets into the country adjoining it.
Continuing Capt Symons says that any subdi-
vision of this character now held in bulk should
be made to conform to the city and sold if
necessary, by the block, as it then could be
used for agricultural purposes well as if sub
divided in the manner indicated. He says that
1t is probable that the District would have no
objection to the streets being used for agricul-
tural purposes until they are wanted, but the
ownership of the streets should rest with the
District and these streets should conform to
the plan of the city of Washington.

A Baby with a Big Head.
sEvEN-PoUND INFANT WITH A HEAD WI
WEIGHED FoRTY-FIyE PouNps

A sEvEN-PoUND INFANT WITH HEAD WHICH
WEIGHED FoRTY-FIvE POUNDS.
A special from Hanover, N. H, February IA.
to the Philadelphia Press says: The Dart
mouth medical college has found most start
ling case of chronic hydrocephalus, or, in
plain English, water on the brain, and already
the medical fraternity are puzzling their
brains over the strange human freak, whose
head weighed As pounds and its body only z
pounds. No similar case has ever been known
to reach such enormous dimensions. The
child has just died, aged thirty-two months.
Two physicians connected with the medical
college had the child's photograph taken for
use IN a medical work on the subject At
birth the child's head was Of normal size, but
in about two weeks it began to enlarge. When
twenty-eight months old the child weighed
81 pounds and the head was estimated TO weigh
40 to As pounds.
The child was never weaned and, after the
first two weeks of swelling was unable TO sup
port that tremendous weight alone or hold its
head erect The only symptoms of intelligence
ever given in the little sufferer was after, the
head had SO enlarged as to draw up the lower
lids and almost close the eyes, when he would
lift his hand and attempt to draw down the
tightened skin that he might be able to see his
mother.
