DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
Superintendent Cooper in his report
says: The immense increase in the work
required to be done. in the state depart
ment of education necessitates an increase
in the number and efficiency of the cler-
ical force of this Office. The daily CORE
spondence generally requires the entire
time of the superintendent and both his
clerks during the regular business hours
of the day, 80 that whatever is done be-
yond this routine must be done out of
Office hours. Little can be done in this
way for the general improvement of the
school system, although there is bound
less field for work in this direction. The
reports of superintendent and treasurers
require critical examination and compsri-

Mr.. Jones, of Pamela, made brief but
good argument'in favor of the bill, and
was followed on the same side by Mr..
Rentfro, who made one of the clesrest
and most forcible speeches of the session,
mainly upon the constitutional ques-
tions involved. Mr.. Rentfro is
a very fluent and graceful speaker,
and though not often disposed to
take the floor always commands the best
attention. He contended that q commits
sion was strictly constitutional under the
rules of Interpretation of such instru-
ments by Jefferson and other great ex-
Founders of the policy of the government,
and that a commission was not only con-
stitutional but exsedient and desirable 10
this as we'll as other states. His speech was
received with marked favor from the
friends of the measure and applauded.
Mr.. Rentfro, judging from his argu-
ment, will offer amendments to the bill

One Hundred Years Ago.

There were no burglar and fro
proof safes in those days. 1t is not
much over fifty years ago that a bank
in Southern Vermont kept its treasures
in an oak chest about two by four feet
This chest was made of two thicknesses
OF oak plank bolted together and
studded with nails rivited on the in
side and locked with a paddock about
the size Of bakery pie. The first
patent for fire-proof safe was issued
in this country to Daniel Fitzgerald i'm
1843. This patent was assigned to Il.
j. Wilder. and the safes made under il
were known as ''Wilder's patent
safes" In this safe the walls were
made hollow. the principal involved
being the well-known non-conductin.
properties OF common air. After this
asbestos mixed with plaster of paris
was used. A burglar-proof lock was
invented by man named Bramos
and claimed to be ''nonpickable, but
one Hobbs picked it in 1851. Tho
Yale lock was invented in 1s43 and
held sway until it was picked by his
son. Improvements have gone on.

LAKES DRYING UP.


Disappearance nj Large Sheets of Water
la Oregon aud Nevada.
The lakes in Eastern Oregon. as well
as in Nevada, are drying up. In some
instances the water in the lakes is SUBJ
siding because the streams which
empty into them have been diverted
from their natural channels for the
purposes OF irrigation. but the continu-
Gus drought doubtless, has had much
to do with the low stage of water in
them. The Herald, published in tho

THE GIANT REGIMENT.


Something About the Crack Oreanixatieu
0ths Prussian Army.
A Berlin correspondent @: the New
York Tribune, writing OF that giant
regiment 80 familiar to every school,
boy. says: A quarter of an hour later,
the guess were summoned to take their
places on the edge of one OF the ter
races. at the foot OF which was drawn
up the regiment OF foot-guarls. 1t
was the favorite regiment OF the
great Kings of Prussia, the ono
for which they spent such large sums
in order to obtain giants. There is
not n man in the ranks under six foot
in height. and when. us yesterday.
they were dressed in their parade uni
forms. the very same rs. those worn in
the time of Frederick the Great, white
breaches. high white CATERS COM
ing up over the knee, white
cross belts. and huge kind of
sugar-lOaf hemlets of antique shape,
and OF FURNISHED metal. they look alb
solutely gigantic. Among the privi-
legcs possessed by this. the crack re,i-
ment OF the Prussian army. is the one
that every Prince of the royal house of
iiohenzOllern shall begin his military
career in its ranks. Hence the first,
second and third companies are officer
ed almost exclusively by the near rel
atives OF the sovereign.
As soon rs the Empress ard guests
had taken their places on the terrace,
the playing of the national hymn by
the regimental band announced the
approach Of the Emperor, who canter-
ed up on amagnificcnt charger, attended
by brilliant: suite and wearing the
uniform Of IA General of infantry.
After riding along the ranks and close
iy inspecting the appearance of the
men. he refined up his horse in front of
the troops, and in a few well-chosen
words exhorted the regiment carefully
to guard ana preserve the new flag
which he now intrustcd to
their charge. As he uttered
the last words. the color company was
seen marching down the steps of the
terrace from the palace. with the new
dag in its midst. As it passed tho
Emperor he saluted il with his sword,
bending at the same time his head low
on his horses neck, and the entire
regiment remained at present arms.
As soon rs the color company had |
taken up its position on the right flank
