A visit to Osborne.

The first thing that strikes the visitor to
Osborne is that her majesty has a capital
eye for situation. She occupies the west
ern wing, which juts out considerably
from the main building. From her rooms
she can look straight down the wooded
slope to the shore and right across the
Solent-a charming mixture of meadow
and thicket and water dotted with snowy
sails. The eauerries and staff live around
the corner. and, like Dick Swiveller, COM

The terrace in front of Osborne has q

PENNY BANKS.

A system of penny savings is to be es-
tablished in Boston, the plan adopted being
essentially that of the British postal saw
ings bank and the distinctive feature that
Of stamps and stamp cards to register the
amounts left in trust with the institution.
The enterprise is the outcome of several
similar ones in other cities, notably in Bal
timore, where ''penny provident fund"
was established, in New York "Charity
Organization society,"" and Detroit, whose
society has been but briefly established.
All these have proved surprisingly success
full, the first fourteen months of the New
York institutions existence bringing over
5000 depositors and 81, ,664 remaining on
deposit at the expiration of that time.
The system abroad has grown surpris-
ingly in the last few years, France, Eng
land and Spain having established penny
banks" under the direction of public school
teachers, and the city of Paris alone pos
sessing at present 224 institutions of the
sort. In Paris the system has been in
operation for thirteen years, during which
time deposits amounting to $4,000, 900
| francs have been made, and during the
last year 81, ,997 children have deposited no
less than 1856, 100 francs. Such total is
surprising when it is remembered that the
accumulation has been in sums of les.

The Bixbys live in suburb within ten

had their Saturday marketing sent out by

Saturday morning when Mrs. Bixby gave

THE RUSSIAN HEBREWS.

The revival of the old edicts against the
Hebrews in Russia has called attention to
the conditions under which they have
managed to live and thrive in that coun-
try. They are subject to the fulfllment of
all military duties, but no Hebrew may be
appointed even in the lowest ranks of the
frontier guard. They are not permitted
to form crown estates, nor hold shares in
any mines, they are not allowed to settle
outside of cities or towns, or without per-
init to carry on business or professions
out of their settlement regions. Hebrew
servants are to be employed only by their
co-religionists; although allowed to exer-
else the franchise, no election is
valid at which two-thirds of the
voters are not Christians. No book is per
mitted to be printed in the Hebrew Ian
guage, nor foreign book in Hebrew to pass
the custom house unexamined. In nine
| western countries Hebrews are prohibited
from acquiring land from peasant pro
| prietors, they are forbidden to migrat,
from the districts in which they have set

only be executed under conditions, no GER
ti6cates of lease may be delivered to them
for the management of such post stations
as are disposed of at auction and secured
by Hebrews, Hebrews must select Chris
tian attorneys. In the higher universitie
| the number of Hebrew students within tn
settlement region is limited to 10 per cent.
outside of that region to 5 per cent, an
in the two capital cities to 3 per cent, tn
same rules applying to the intermediar
public schools, nor are stipends awarde
to Hebrews in the public educational in
stitutions. A Hebrew cannot be electe
mayor, councillor, police or oral judge of
town, nor admitted to any other tow
Office. Foreigners who are Hebrews al
not allowed to settle in Russia nor to b.
come Russian subjects. In every town {
settlement one school only and one ne
synagogue are permitted to every eight
houses. In those places where Hebrew
are forbidden to live citizens who are thr,

to German. And so, with the warm ap-
proval of the minister of education in vi
emma, DIR. Kellner proposes that the Aus
trian education Office shall put any Eng
lish headmaster applying TO it in commu-
nication with a good Viennese or other
Austrian school; that the English boys
shall write German letters-about their
holidays, their games, their work, or what
ever they hke-to the Austrian boys as
signed to them, who will then return these
letters with all mistakes corrected, togeth-
er with German boys letter in English,
which the English boy shall then correct
to his hearts content and send back with
a second German letter to be corrected in
its turn in Austria. The mistakes in the
exchanged letters viii evidently be rare
fun to the respective receivers and give
some boy Barker fine opportunity for ar
ticles on English as she is wrote" Girls
schools may well join in the friendly ex-
change of letters and mirth, too, with
Austrian girls schools; and we doubt not
that many pleasant dqnaintanceships and
much mutual Improvement may spring out
of these letters. AT any rate, DIR. Leon
Kellner hopes to get trial made of his
plan.

Neebe's sentence was fifteen years in the

A foreign scientific paper gives an ao-
count of new vegetable fat discovered by
some German explorers in broom-ike
bush growing wild and in immense guam
titles on the west coast of Africa. It be-
longs to the Polygalia family of plants
and it has received the specific name of
butyracea. Its seeds yields over II per
cent. of yellowish fat that closely resem-
bles butter. 1t has an agreeable nutty fla
vor and melts at about the same degree of
heat that common butter does. These ex-
plorers found it to be an excellent substi-
tute for butter. 1t is greatly superior toit
in one respect. 1t does not become rancid
for a long time, even in hot climate, like

A company of capitalists is now prepar-
ing to obtain from the Niagara river the
greatest water power in the world. Their
plan is to make a tunnel from the river at
OF near Buffalo to the gorge below the
falls, and establish there, they say, ''the
greatest manufacturing center on the con-
tinent." The contract for the tunnel has
been made with responsible firm, and the
work will begin in few days. This plan,
if carried out, will not interfere at all
with the scenery of the falls, as the upper
end, where the water is to be taken from
the river, will be far above the fall and
the lower end, where the water is dis,
charged, will be far below them. MOI
will the amount of water withdrawn by
the tunnel sensibly diminish the volume
