ODD THINGS IN LIFE.

The number of school children in Ohio
between the ages of six and twenty-one
years is 1,I24 .74S; of these 576.526 are
boys and 548,222 girls, being an increase
over last year OF 4,211.
The year 1740 was remarkable for at
mOSpheric disturbances. 1t came in
with frost, the like of which had not
been known in England for thirty-one
years; frost OF such great strength
that the Thames was frozen over.

Compare the accounts of the Mexican

The work done by the heart is equiva-

should do more than twice that amount
of work. But in some work this amount
is increased over third. In the work

foot-tons; in the pile driver ard paeyr

One of the most valuable cargoes ever
shipped from the Columbia river was
dispatched from Astoria in German

senting value of 1927, 600. To trans
port this cargo by rail would require
$40 cars, each carrying ten tons.

WENT TO GET INFORMATION.
Balfour's Irish Tour Had No Po-

Balfour's Irish Tour Had No Po-
litical Significance.
LONDON, Nov. 1S.-Mr. Balfour, in
speech tonight at Grimsby, declared
that his tour in Ireland had
no political object. but was made
merely in quest of information.
Although he had been attacked by the
Irish party and press, he had no reason
to complain of his reception. but every
reason to feel gratifed. He had not
had the bad taste to obtrude
his political opinions on the
people. and they were equally courte-
Gus. The priests talked like rational
men of the peoples trouble. He did
not attempt to bride them, nor did he
ask them to give up their con-
scientious opinions. He was sure they
would never accept such a bride. They
met him with the courtesy, kindness
and business spirit natural to them.
Their manner was far different from
that of the Dublin politicians, whose
shrieks OF fury when they heard that
he was making tour in Ireland were
amusing, but did not represent Irish
opinion. His tour left the impression
on his mind that the districts visited
were not congeSted in the sense of
appeared to be unable to draw from
their holdings sufficient livelihood. 1t
was not the wearing and incessant toll
for wretched pittauce, such as was
seen III the industrial centelS
of England and America; yet
they were always so near the brink of
want that serious failure of the potato
crop might make imperial assistance
necessary. Ii the peasants condition
was to be bettered, he must be
made a better farmer and better
fisherman. There were two distinct
problems to be faced-the problem of
the present winter and the problem of
the future. He should have much to
say on this question in another place.
He would observe in the meantime
that it would be of little nSe to provide
for Immediate distress unless they had
i'll view the permanent amelioration of
the condition of the distressed. Moth
ing would be easier than to SQuan-
der public money to remedy the
evil, because he was sure the chancellor
of the rxchequer would not grudge the
money. But though money was essen
tial, he did not regard it as the greatest
necessity. He was firmly convinced
that something more was required
than money aud relief works. 1t was
necessary to change the habits of the
people. Such change he believed to
be possible. but it would necessarily be
slow. He had long studied the
problem both in regard to ireland
and the West of Scotland, and he did
not yet despair of solution of the peo-
pie of the three Kingdoms would coop
crate. Ii those concerned could but see
wherein their salvation consisted, the
problem would be surely so.ved.

THE LONDON PHARISEES.

There IS something disgusting in the
hypocrtlcal cant of the London press
pver PARNEIL'S downfall. In the first
place, the great Irish leader hasn't had
downfall. He is under shadow
which is temporary check to his pub
lie usefulness, and which will give his
enemies an occasion to do an immense
amount of Growing. He has been the
unfortunate victim of weakness which
seems to be inherent to British states
manShip. But in good time PARNELL
will come out from under the shadow
now resting upon his fame, and, chast-
ened by the unfortunate experience.
will in the future prove to be more of
thorn in the side OF British ariStocracy
fhan he has ever yet been.
We have not one word to say in eX-
tenuati0n of PARNELL'S fault. A man
In his position ought to have known bet
Ter than to dim his own fame. and to
jeopardIze the cause of Ireland by being
mixed up in the O'SHEA business. He
has permitted himself to fall into pit
which his enemies dug for HIM. Yet
we have no patience with the affecta-
lion OF high moral tone employed by
the English press in their denunciation
bf PARNELL. 1t is the grossest hy-
pocrisy, for all the world knows that
London is stepped in social deg
radiation, and that PARNEL,'s Of
Tense is the lightest of the nu-
merous social crimes perpetrated
every day in English high life. Liber-
tinism fiaunts its ugly crest in the midst
Of court circles, and there is hardly
man prominent in British politics but
has a score of scandals associated with
his public record. The Lotharioism of
the heir apparent to the British crown
Is about all that is known of his per-
sonal history outside of England. His
conduct is approved, and his example
initiated very largely. by those who move
In his circle and are dependent on royal
favors. Nor is this social demoraliza-
lion confined to court circles. 1t is the
thing among the untitled English gen.
try to have their liaisonS and their secret
love affairs. Even that grand Old man
of current British politics, GLADSTONE,
is not wholly unsupported of the weak
ness which seems to be peculiar to
British gentility. To state it plainly,
RIGHTEOUSNESS is the rule, and not the
exception, in the best London society.
And yet the English newspapers have
never raised their hands in holy horror
over the general Generalization or the
exposure of one of these social crimes,
until the great Irish leader became in
Volved in a shady transaction. Now, to
hear them talk. one would suppose that
O'SHEA's wife was the first Mag
daien ever found in London, and
that PARNELL is the only fornicator in
Great Britain. Under the circumstances
the pharisaism of the English press is
so contemplate that it will be apt to
react in PARNELL's favor.

the control of the legislature, and the
consequent election of the governor and
United States senator. The unques-
toned membership of the popular
branch of the legislature consists of It's
Democrats and 1853 Republicans. Then
there are 13 Democrats and 81 Repub-
licans elected conditionally. from towns
and wards that are supposed to have
such increase of population under the
census as to warrant them. As there
has been no Official report of the census,
these additional members, even if pro-
vided for by statute, could not be counted
in the organization. The Republican
plan is to let them vote on their own
claims. The senate has one or two Re-
publican majority, but on joint ballot
the Democrats are ten on twelve ahead.
They do not mean to be defrauded out
of the full fruits of their victory.
