occupied by the schools. This large increase
in the number Of buildings for the schools,
however, 10 not yet sufficient to meet the in
creasing demand. The new appropriation bill
authorizes the erection Of four sight-room
buildings during the present year. which will
be located in the first, third seventh and eighth
divisions. An eight-room building will also be
built in Anacostia.
A new high school building for the seventh
and eighth divisions will be erected on n
street between 1st street and New Jersey
avenue. The steady increase in the number of
pupils attending the public schools 10 shown
not only by tho increase in the total attend
ance, but also In the addition to the number Of
school buildings. During the past Eve years
thirty-two new school buildings have been
erected In the District, and yet the accom-
m mo are not equal to the demand
While there will be no new school buildings
to be occupied at the beginning of the coming
school year, yet the number Of new schools
is estimated as follows: Seven in the first
division, fve in the third, two in the fourth,
one in the fifth, two in tho sixth and
eight or nine in the seventh and eighth
divisions. Last year there were about 81, 600
pupils in attendance at the public schools
Of the District, an increase Of about 1000 as
compared with the previous year. 1t 10 esti-
mated that the same ratio Of increase will be
maintained for the coming year. The addi-
tions made to the number Of the schools with
rooms is explained by the system Of having
halliday schools, SO that one school
room will do duty for two. The new bill APP
propriates for teachers salaries q total Of
S544, SIS and has fixed the average salary to be
paid not to exceed e6S5. This average salary
is IS higher than that Of last year. The num-
Der of teachers provided for Is 795. an increase
as compared with last year Of fifty teachers.
OF this number Superintendent Cook states

WHY CATS ARE THIN.
They Are Constantly on the Alert for
Food or Danger.

From the New York Evening World.
Have you ever inquired how it IL that cats
can combine with their proverbial idleness
such great agility? says Lagrange's Physiology
Muscular inaction leads just as much in other
kinds OF animals as in the human species to
obesity; sns dog which does not hunt, the
horse kept in the stable, becomes fat ana slug
gish. Wild animals even, if kept in a cage,
where they are forced into the repose Of do
mestic life, very rapidly lose their slenderuess
Of figure and their case Of movement.
Why does the cat escape the ordinary Law
and why, in spite Of the fact that it rarely
moves, does it seldom become fat, as does Q
dog or horse under similar circumstances2
1t Is because its inability il not that of in
action, and Its nerves are working while ITS
muscles seem at rest. Like the fencer waiting
the moment to attack the eat 10 constantly
ready to spring. II is always watching some
thing rat, fly or a joint of meat.
A drawing room cat only makes three or four
springs in the course OF = day, but each Of
them has been preceded by two OF three hours
OF latent work.
When we believe that the animal 10 engaged
in happy dream it is meditating capture,
calculating the distance of its spring and hold
ing Its muscles In readiness for anything that
may happen.
Hence II is never taken by surprise. II q
little bird escapes from its cage il IL caught
and eaten in three seconds. The cat has beea
watching ii for a week. When il seemed asleep
1t was lying in wait.

that 10 as big AZ an ordinary mans thigh
aud his fellows are all athletes. The
squad has plenty to do. Dozens of persons
afflicted with one form or another of de-
mentia are turned away by them from
the Executive Mansion every day. The
moment an individual appears whose aspect
ls not entirely satisfactory he il asked
what his business is, and unless this reply 10
reassuring he Is not admitted. A few days ago
q man called to see Mr.. Harrison with tin box
under his arm. Tin boxes are suspicious arti-
cles and he was pressed closely about his er-
rand. Finally he said he had . now kind of
religion in the box to show the President OF
course, that settled him. Perhaps the funniest
Of all the queer people who come to the White
House are those who demand per mission to
visit the most private rooms of the President,
on the ground that they, representative of
the public own the establishment Thanks TO
the precautions taken, Mr.. Harrison is safe in
in the Executive Mansion; it was at
the theater he WAS attacked. Gar

station. ANY crank who attempted to get at
the chief magistrate to attack him In the White
House would be grabbed, disarmed and car
ried OF to the nearest police station with sur

IN rHk EVENING.
But suppose that Mr.. Harrison executes
another strategic movement and instead of
staying in the White House goes out to re-
ception or q dinner. There again he is
badgered compelled to shake hands with every
one and stared at because he 10 o public per-

CANADA'S PROSPECTIVE RULER.
Lord Aberdeen Getting Acquainted
With the Country.

There no longer remains any doubt that Lord
Aberdeen's present prolonged visit to Canada
means something more than passing event.
His political career has always been watched
with more than ordinary interest by Canadians,
probably in some measure accounted for from
tho fact that ON more than one occasion his
name has been mentioned in connection with
that of the governor general OF the Dominion.
The enthusiastic way in which he has been re-
ceived by all nationalities aud creeds since he
hrst landed in Canada furnishes undoubted
proof OF his great popularity, and Il all rumors
are correct, the object Of his visit to Canada
has been attained in establishing this fact Al

Aberdeen comes to Canada on q short proba-
uonary arrangement, or on trial a. il were,
and judging from tho hearty reception he has

of the Adirondacks. reporters swarmed
In his neighborhood as thick as the
flies for which that region is famous. with
special wires to the metropolis, whence the
news of his latest movement was distributed.
Furthermore, his wIfes affairs we're considered
to be as leSiiimately open to newspaper scrutiny
as his own. Was she not, forsooth. the wife OF
the President? She could not buy dozen
handkerchiefs without gossip for the benefit of
81, 100000 of people.
ME-. HARRIsoN's LACK OF LEISURE
President Harrison has fairly surrendered.
He has not tried to escape from his official
cage. His Cape May cottage is merely place
to which he is permitted to transfer his Official
cares. For you see that the President il
man from whom all things emanate and in
whom all things center. SO Tar as the govern
ment OF this great people is concerned. He
never has any time to suck molasses candy and
never was known to swing on a gate.
Take. for example, his legitimate official
work. To begin WITH all the departments of
the government are engaged in preparing
matters for him to determine. The Secretaries
of War, the Navy, the Interior, State, Agri-
culture and all the others come to Mr.. Harrison
whenever anything important in the executive
way Is to be done. All matters that come up
in Congress reach him sooner or later for his
consideration and decision. and even in pr-
waite affairs the voters in this country regard
him "a a last resource for advice. Thousands
VI pfiNdtc Ictters on every cOncelvaDle SQD1ecy
reach him each week from all parts OF the
United States. How much time does he have
left for the routine of his official duties?
THE DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENTS OFFICE
have increased every year. Each year new laws
made which are referred to him for execu-
ton. and Congress never has the slightest hesi-
tation in putting additional burdens on the
chief executive. Funnily enough the Presi-
dent whoever he may be, always grows fat at
his work. There has not been President yet
who has not gained avoirdupois during his in
cumbency at the White House. The next
hardest workers after the President are the
judges of the Supreme Court, whose longevity
and hardness have become proverbial. All Of
which goes to show that the men who are
elected Presidents Of the United States are
not, as has been so often alleged, very ordinary
men.
