An important bill is pending be-
fore the Kentucky Legislature, and
bids fair to become law. The
measure is a proposed law to punish
circus proprietors for not presenting
what they advertise. The penalty
is made a fine ranging from $50 to
500 for each and every offence, and
the case may be brought before the
proper Court by any one who has
visited the circus and come away
dissatisfied. The rigorous enforce
ment of such law would bankrupt
even the wcalthicst circus man.

An exchange gives the following
good advice, which all should keep !:
"Thc local paper should be in every
home. No children will grow up
ignorant who can he taught to ap-
prcciatc the home paper. 1t is the
stepping stone to intelligence in all
those things not to be learned in
books. Give your children Il foreign
paper which contains not one word
about any person or place they ever
saw, or perhaps ever heard Of, and
how can you expect them to be in
tcrcstcd? But let them have the
home paper and read of people
with whom they are familiar, and
soon IN interest is awakened which
increases with every daily arrival of
the local paper. Thus habit Of
reading is formed, and those children
will read the papers all their lives and
become intelligent men and women
Il credit to their ancestors, strong in
their knowledge of the world as it is
to-day"

4 Church Educational Work in the
South.

CIncAGo, February 81. = The
twenty annual meeting Of
the Frccdmcn's and the Southern
Educational Society of the Mctho-
dist Episcopal church will be held
in this city Sunday and Monday Of
next week. The leaders of the
church, for half n century, have
laborcd with the problem of inaugu-
rating the developing unified sys-
tenn of education for Methodism, in
which the schools should be so placed
relatively to the States and sections
and the church, as whole, rs to
insure the widest results in respect
to supervision, economy and expense.
Their cndcavors have been followed
with gratifying success, and to-day
there are forty-onc institutions of
eight different grades, embracing
collegiate, thcologiral, biblical, mcdi-
cal, dental, legal, industrial and
acadcmicai, in the Southcrn States.
The classification of schools, showing
the number of teachers and students,
gives almost two colorcd students
for one white; but this can hardly
serve AS Il fair comment upon the
intellectual progress of the lower
white class of the South, as the
work of this society has been mainly
in the direction Of the liberal cduca-
ton OF the negro.

the faculty Of discerning the qualities
of a book or of a work Of art; it is to
be deprived Of an essential sense, Of

4 Dream OF Science.

Recent discoveries in chemistry seem
to render simple and practical all the
absurd dreams Of the early alchemists
touching the transmutation of sub
stances one into another The expert
ments Of Mcndelejeff, Meyer, and New
lands seem to show that in the ultimate
ANALYSIS all our SO called elements are
compounds and all matter is reduclble
to two forms of atoms. The difference
between one substance and another ap-
pears to be nothing more than a differ
ence in the geometrical grouping Of
atoms More startling still is the fact
that we are apparently upon the eve OF
discovering how to change that group
ing. CONVERTING any substance into any
other at viii. II this seeming promise
is fulfilled the transmutation Of the baser
metals into gold-which the alchemists
so long and painfully labored for-will
be a commonplace Of the laboratory, and
n writer in the North American Reciel0
is at pains 10 show that in that
case gold would become one Of the baser
metals, so far rs the value is concerned.
But the world has learned much since
the alchomists broke their alombics
Onr chemists would not now bother
themselves with the useless task Of max
ing gold il the power Of transmutation
were theirs. They would seek real
wealth in the conversion Of worthless,
inorganic matter into life sustaining
food with which to supplement the
products Of the field. In such discov-
cry would lie the supreme achievement
Of science and its highest possible min
istration 10 the welfare Of mankind. 1t
would eliminate hunger from the world
andrender wantimpossible.-[New York
