Educational Report. =

The report of the superintendent of edu-
cation, Hon. K. +. Palmer of Waite bury,
opens with reports of the county supervisors.
These have much to say regarding the effect
OF the new school law. Mr.. Hasseltine of
Addison county says the chief difficulty
he has to contend with is the conservative
spirit OF the people, which is shown in edu-
cational matters more than in anything else.
Yet school patrons are DESTROYS of doing the
best possible thing for their children.
"Their motives are good, but their efforts
are misdirected. A common mistake of dis
tricts is the election of officers regardless of
their fitness for the office" That the stand
ard of teachers qualifications has been
raised is shown by the fact that twenty per
cent of those taking examinations have been
rejected.
Mr.. Howe of Bennington county reports
that he has visited every school under his
jurisdiction once, a large majority twice,
and several three times. After observing
their methods of instruction, he has made
such suggestions to teachers as their re-
spective schools demanded. He has held
two educational meetings during the year,
both of which good degree of interest
was manifested. At his recommendation
one town voted TO unite districts at the an
nual town meeting. Suggestions in regard
To repairs and new apparatus have in the
main been well received. I'm my second
round of visitations l found new teachers

then with his home club-the Ridgeways.
He won thirteen of the fourteen games he
pitched and averaged ten strike outs to
game.
The Binghamton club in the Central
league heard of the Keystone boys work
and secured him in 'S3. His record there
was so good that Manager Pat Powers,
now of the Rochesters, laid $500 In cold
cash before the eyes of the Binghamton
manager and carried Billy and his release
to Jersey City, where he finished the sea
son. That was the year that the jersey
Citys came within one game of taking the
pennant. This was before the time of
reservation in the minor leagues. A hitch
over salary led Rhines to forsake the east
and go to Davenport in 'S9. he is #. II

He is proud to be enrolled among the col
lege players, for he spent some time as q
student at Bucknen university, in Penn
sylvania He is fine specimen Of physi-
cal manhood, and of strictly temperate
habits. One of his hobbies is the gun, and
he is as good a marksmsn with the rife as
be is pitcher with the ball. Whatever

it owes much to the pluck of this young
Trojan, who proved an invaluable aid to
Manager LOTUS when every one Of the
other pitchers was out of form and in the

CAT IN THE SERVICE OF SCIENCE
drawn from her nose by presenting the
knuckle to it; or they may be drawn from
the chin or fingers of the person holding
the cat. 1t would be dangerous, however,
to attempt to draw them from the eyes.
This experiment will succeed best in dry
and cool atmosphere, and the hand of the
person stroking the fur should be warm
and free from moisture.
Very good sparks can be obtained with
out insulating the chair at all, but the re-
suits are more brilliant when this Is done.
The only drawback to this experiment is
the total lack of scientific enthusiasm in
the average cat, which is likely to object
most strenuously against the repetition of
the development of electrical energy. The
electricity thus produced is generated by
the friction between the hand and the fur,
and does not differ from that produced by
any fractional electrical machine. The &C
companying illustration is reproduced
from La Nature and was recently de-
scribed in Popular Science News.

Done in the Pitchers Box.

William P. Rhines and What He Has
Done in the Pitchers Box.
No young pitcher ever entered the ranks
Of the National league and installed him
self as public fayorite aad phenomenally
successful player in so short time as has
William P. Rhines, of the Cincinnati club.
He was taken from comparative obscurity
before the Association season closed last
fall. In the Interstate league Of the west
he had been the mainstay of the Davon-
port club, of Iowa.
Probably no baseball magnate in the
country watches the records of the players
in the minor leagues more closely than A.
S. Stern, the little president-of the Cincin-
natis. He had eyed the battery Of Rhines
and Harrington for some time, and when
Davenport gave up the ghost he dispatched
Ted Sullivan to the scene OF thu collapse
with orders to land that battery in St.
Louis dead or alive. 1t was there that the
now famous duo signed contracts with the
Cincinnati club
In the past more 'phenoms" have been ex-
ploded in Cincinnati than have proved
wonders. But Rhines wasput in, in all
sorts of weather, and he absolutely refused
to explode With scarcely an effort Rhines
forged right to the front and ia few
weeks won for himself title OF the Reds
winning pitcher. Earned runs off Rhines
are novelties Indeed base hits have not
been very common while he was In the box
and in only one game has the opposition
been able to push its safe drives into
double figures Rhines is just of age. He
was born in Ridgeway, Pa, on the 18th of
March, 1869. 1t was in the Mountain
league in '87 that young Rhines gained his
first experience on the diamond. He was

To Mako Holes in Steel.

Sometimes" writes a correspondent Of
a trade paper, 81 have had to make holes
in steel that was too hard to cut or file cas-
lily. Then make a mixture that will cut
a hole. mix one ounce of sulphste of
copper, quarter of an ounce of alum, half
a teaspoonful of powdered salt, gill Of
vinegar and twenty drops Of nitric acid.
This will make the hole, or If it is washed
off quickly it will give beautiful frosted
appearance to the metal"

For the Higher Education of Women.

A noteworthy event in the movement for
the higher education of women was the
laying Of the foundation stone of the
Janet buildings at Trinity college, Mel
bourne, Australia. In 1888 Trinity college
authorities decided. with some misgivings,
to admit women students to their lectures,
and house in the neighborhood of the
college was rented as residence for lady
students. To put this home on perma-
nent basis Lady Clarke promised a dona-
ton of $4,000, which will go far toward
defraying the cost of the new building.
Sir M. II. Davies has given R2,000 as the
nucleus of an endowment fund. Miss
Hensley, former student of Newman
college, has been engaged by the council as
lady principal Of what will be the first
Australian women's college.

An Electrical Tricycle..

The constitutionally tired person will be
interested in recent suggestion that cleo
tricity can be advantageously applied to
the tricycle.. An electrical journal affirms
the practicability of an electrical tricycle.
and says that power for charging the bat
teries would not be hard to find, as the
electric light is generally available. 1t il
claimed that tolerable success has already
been attained with such machines; the
power required is not large, and the neces-
sary weight of battery and motor can be
brought within quite reasonable limits.

EDS. RECORD UNION: We notice in your paper
of the 18th a card signed Housewives OF Sac
ramento,' in which it is stated that petition
was presented to the undersigned &C. McCreary
& Co.. by "the liquor interests as they express
it, asking for the discharge of E. NJ. Leitch from
our employ as drayman on account of his :" pro-
hibitfon" principles We wish to say to any
one who may be interested in this matter, that
no petition, remonstrance, request or complaint
of any kind whatsoever, from any person,
grocer or liquor man, has EVER been presented
to us. The cause OF our change of drayman is a
matter that would not interest the public, as it
has nothing to do with Mr.. Leitch's opinions or
convictions for or against prohibition" Our
lifelong residence in Sacramento, and our bust
ness reputation, should be sufficient guarantee
to the public that we would not do an injustice
to anyone, nor do we think that the sale and
high standing of our family flour, the quality of
which has never been questioned can now be
injured By the representation of a discharged
employe. c. McCREARf ",

face ashy in the moonlight, implored me
not to stay, but to get back to my tent at

footprints fourteen miles across the sands
to the crater; had returned and told my

whereupon Dunnoo had taken one Of my

turned to the crater and hauled me out as

running our boys and deeoying iato paths of
sin and shame our daughters by their "ladies'

fiuence against one of our faithful co-workers,

his active efforts to suppress gambling and other
vices in our midst. petition has been pre-
sented by the liquor interests asking for the
discharge of Mr.. Leitch from the employ of the

McCreary's Mills as drayman, because OF his
participation in the reform measures indicated.
Yielding to this arrogant demand, Mr.. Leitch
has been dismissed from the employ of the

saloon put in his place.
Shall we, without protest, submit to the
power of the dive, the saloon and the not less
dangerous corner grocery, whose aim has been
to debauch our homes, to control our politics
and now seeks to drive American citizens from
honest and honorable employments2
II we submit to this, the end is not yet. Let
