siding Judge Thayer to-day delivered a
lengthy opinion, deciding in favor of the
trustees Of the General Assembly Of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States
Of America in its suit against the Board
OF Revision of Taxes of the city OF Phil
adelphia. The question at Issue was
whether the moneys and securities
which, it is admitted, are held by plain
tias as trustees for purely public charit-
able purposes, are taxable under the act
Of June l, 1850, for State purposes. The
opinion rendered by Judge Thayer is to
the effect that the purpose OF the trainers
OF the State tax laws was that charita-
Die and beneficial trusts were not to be
levied upon,

THE MINE EXPLOSION.

WlLKEsBARRE, Pa, March 4.-There is
no apparent possibility Of the rescue OF
the eight men entombed in the burning
South Wilkesbarre mine, or the recovery
Of tho bodies, until the mine has been
flooded. This will probably require a
week or more. &
At o'clock this afternoon tho third
exploring party returned TO the SURFACE
without having discovered the missing
men. 1t is impossible that they could
have escaped alive, as the only place Of
safety was in the tunnel and this has
been thoroughly explored. They dis
covered the tools OF the victims, but
nothing to give any indication as to
where the bodies may be. They proba-
bly, became bewildered by the burning
gas and took various directions. :,

Africa ana Our Race Problem.

1.-THE Congo basin,'' says an eminent sol
entific authority, Prof. Dupont, fresh from
a visit there, lis destined to be the granary
of the world.' Is this the ground to draw
the gathering electricity from that black
cloud spreading over the southern states,
which thus far has dropped fairness, upon
and given vast production to them, but
which is now growing big with destructive
elements, asks Col. Henry s. Sanford in the
June Forum. Perhaps here may be found a
solution of the race problem that presses on
US and must be met and must be solved.
What eminent statesman will give himself
to this great work, compel public attention,
and point the way thither for these disturb
ing elements2 Though condemned at pres

A a2ab.OOo school House.

The school board of Mannheim, in Baden,
Germany, claims to have the model COM
mon school house of the world. The build
ing has just been completed at an expense
of $225,O0O. It contains forty-two ordinary
school rooms, two rooms for drawing, two
for singing, two for handwork, a large gym
nasium, hall for public exercises, two
meeting rooms for directors, two sets of
rooms for servants and four little prison
cells for refractory pupils. The materials
in the structure are almost exclusively If on
and brick. The ceilings of all the rooms,
corridors and the big hall are of concrete.
The floors of the class rooms are hardwood
laid on asphalt. They are supposed to be
SO constructed as to render the accumula-
ton of dust and the breeding of bacteria
impossible. The building is heated by a
low pressure steam system. In the base
ment are swim-baths. The boys bath ac-
commodities twenty at once and the girls

The National Democrat, commenting
on another speech by Colonel Clarkson
regarding the alarming growth of the
democratic press, calls attention to the
discrepancies between Clarkson's state
ments and those Of Senator Hear, an
pther bigoted republican, who is SO fond
of iterating that all the virtue and in
telligence Of the country is in the repub-
!ican party. 1t wants to know il the
leading, thinking people of the United
States are nearly all republicans, how it
is that there are only ,255 republican
dailies printed in this country with cir
culation of over 1000 as against 800 DEM
ocratic dailies; if the intelligence OF the
country is republican, how is it that
1,346 democratic weelxlies have circula
tion OF 100000? The Democrat est
mates that the circulation of newspapers
and periodicals printed every week II
this country which favor the democratic
party or oppose the republican party il
more than 100000, or nearly two
thirds Of the entlre number OF people il
the United States. The number OF re

Common Sense in House Cleaning.

lady protests in the Boston Globe
against the custom of cleaning houses at
one certain time. "If carpet becomes
worn and dusty she asks, "why may it
not be renovated, be the season June or
january" If the paint Is soiled and
windows cloudy, what is the unwritten law
which leaves them until particular time
for cleaning? Why must every bundle in
the storeroom be unrolled to see which way
the nap runs, as one disguised masculine
declared? When an article is required
from some particular box, why not sort its
contents then and there instead of waiting
to add to the chaos of house cleaning? And
why, above all things, select for the reign
of terror the sweet spring time when nature
is putting on her robes of glory and the
sunshine brings baptism of life?''

THE newspapers ought to reform. The
magazine editors have said it. Last
month Harper's had an article objecting
to the newspaper made person. The
Century follows with an article on jour
nalists and newsmongers, in which it adj
vocates some sort OF press censorship,
and Charles Dudley Warner in the At
lantic for June discusses the evils of
desultory newspaper reading. The
trouble with the magazine editors is that
the newspapers are encroaching more
and more on their once peculiar field.
There is really very little to choose be-
tween the big Sunday newspapers, OF
which Mr.. Warner 30 feelingly COM
plains, and the magazines, so far as the
quality Of the matter goes. The ablest
writer's in this and other countries to-
FAY are contributors to the newspaper
press. In fact nearly all the popular
magazine writer's find ready and profit
able market for their literary products
IN the Sunday papers Of our leading
cities.

Benefits of Eorax Baths.

Delicate women, Gays the Detroit Journal,
writer's and sedentary persons who feel
chilly even in the summer should never sit
without foot warmers or fur-lined slippers
if at all chilly. Mental exercise exhausts
the bodily heat. You remember how George
Eliot always was chilly when writing, and
many professional worker recognizes the
familiar feeling. Hot baths. with plenty of
borax in the water, and friction afterward
get up a healthy action of the skin which
leaves the face fair and opal-tinted hours
afterward.
One Of the most beautiful compilations I
know is kept by this practice, joined to care
in eating. The eyes will be dark and bright
after such bath. but if you want to in
sure their brilliancy a pharmacist who
studies these things says one must eat freely
of tomatoes for the sake of the artropine
or its kindred quality they contain. Ger.
tainly wholesome tomatoes keep skin and
eyes in good condition as far as food can dc
it.
