Recently in Brooklyn teacher in one

ton, saying she felt that the place ought
to belong to some one who needed the
compensation, which she no longer did.
This incident brings up anew the some

in the matter is that held by another.
She is a graduate of VasSar, and she
found on sitting down at home after
her college career that time hung heavy
upon her hands. Her father. a man of
wealth,is also prominent member of
the board of education in the suburban
town where they reside. She decided
to teach. and it was easy for him to
provide place for her. She lives at
home in all luxury. A handsome car
rage, with liveried coachman, takes her
to school every day; ana on the hand

are worth three times the amount of
the stipend.
Is this misplaced energy or only COM

eff the British parliament wants to
find fault with the way cattle are
shipped from America" said gentle
man who had recently returned from
Peru, ''it should investigate the meth
DDS in use by British shippers and ship
owners in Peru"
When the vessel lies in midstream the
cattle are thrown into the water and
are made fast to rowboat by their
horns and in that manner they are
towed to the ships side, when they are
hoisted Oh board by their horns.
OftentimeS the horns of the unfortu-
nate animals are broken, and frequently
they fall against the boat and into the
water, sometimes breaking their legs.
In this condition, according to my in
formation, they suffer untold agony
until such times as they hoist them
again OH board and put them out of
their misery.
In many cases in unloading cattle at
port where wharfage facilities are
few the animals are thrown overheard,
and made to swim to the shore as best
they can.
