IN his library. He has, what compare
lively few persons possess, a complete
copy of the Talmud, In twelve vol

1888. This enormous work, embOdy-
ing the accretiOns Of ages of JEWS

Rabbi Hess has also one Of the only
four copies in existence in the world Of

THE manner in which our schools
both public and private are broadening
their educational methods is made man
ifest As often as their annual reports are
Issued or their commencement exercises
held, and most encouraging feature of
this process of extension Is the practi-
cal character of it which is conspicu-
ously shown in the attention that is
given to those technical branches of
education that help TO equip our boys
for bread winning. The establishment
Of manual training schools into the
public educational system is a along, use
tul step towards most helpful end A
suggestion of what our private schools
are dong is given by one of them, the
Penn Charter of Philadelphia, sending
classes under the direction of accom-
pllshed teachers to Europe, with especial
reference to the study Of the arts and
sciences as their products are displayed
at the French National Exposition. and
incidentally painting. sculpture, archi-
lecture as seen at the great European
galleries; commerce as seen in the Old
World ports; engineering, as seen In
the roads, bridges, viaducts, dykes.
&c, as shown IN England, France,
Germany, and the Dutch countries
history, as it is written in Its monu-
ments everywhere abroad, and archi-
lecture, ancient and modern. rs Europe
teaches il in its public and private,
religious and secular edifices. Other
classes from Ihis school viii spend their
vacation in the Adirondacks under
capable teachers, where they will study
botany, geology, and live meanwhile
the wholesome tent life in the woods
and by the lakes and streams These
are common sorts Of educational
methods in Germany and Switzerland,
and they cannot be made too common
here. The beginning having been made

To TIE record of great rain storm.
this year, which is remarkable In sew

snce Of the Island of Dominica, one of
the Wmdward Islands. In eight con-
'ecutive days PSI inches of rain fell,
and the record for the month of June
showed over II inches OF rainfall Uur-
rie.'nes were frequent and of great vio-
.ence, and great damage was done to

GERMAN EMIGRATIOS--A Berlin

emigration since 1871. The total for
the period is l, 769, ,297 persons. OF
these emigrants, the destination OF no
fewer than l,6IS,s SIG was the United
states; 33, 443 went to Brazil; 10, ,599 to
other parts OF South America; lG,34l
TO Australia; ALSO to British North
America; 4O+7 to Africa, and 1855 to
Asia. There remains unaccounted for
over 1900 emIgrants sailing from
French ports, though it is believed that
nearly all Of these went TO the United
states. The year Of highest emigra-
ton was 1881, when 22O,9O2 Germans
left their fdtherland. The lowest num-

The Platte River.

The Platte river is a queer stream.
1t has very large circulation, but very
little influence. 1t covers a good deal
OF ground, but is not deep. In some
places it IS mile wide and three-quar-
ters Of an inch deep. II has a bed OF
quicksand, which asst Is it very much
in drowning people. The Platte makes
very little fuss about il. but succeeds in
being quite fatal. You might cross
that river without even getting your
hose wet, and then again you might
ind that in crossing the stream you
had struck an entirely new country,
from whose bourne no traveller returns.

ANOTHER story OF cruelty practised
upon the insane comes from Raleigh,
y. G. Every few months for several
years back there have been serious
accusations of cruelty in the manage
ment of some insane asylum, now in
one state and again In another. TAX
ing care of Imbeciles must be a very
Tksome business, and it is to be
expected that in many cases the persons
who are least tit Will be the most
ready TO undertake it. They can make
the work much more easy by treating
their wards rs if they were mere ami
mails, which conscientious people could
not do. That such i crime against the
helpless sufferers is possible, and has
actually been often perpetrated, ought
20 arouse the Indignation of all humane
citizens TO the point OF insisting on a
strict and systematic supervision of all
aSylumS, whether public or private, by
thoroughly competent authority. Every
pub.lc-Spirited legislator in each State
ought TO make it his especial duty 10
see that this is done.

CRITICISM Of the government for the
purchase of glazed bricks in England
does not seem to be well founded, if It
IS true that, after advertisement, no
American bids were received. 1t is
true, also, that Euglish-made glazed
bricks are, or ut least have been,
superior to those made in this country,
for the reason that great deal of
experience Is required to get the glaze
Just right and evenly distributed. If it
Is not evenly distributed the bricks are
not true, and nice Job cannot be made
with them. No doubt good enameled
bricks can be made here, but the busi-
ness IS 10y no means as simple as would
appear at first sight, and time is
required to perfect the manufacture.
