With an I-know air 132 school teachers, or
would-be ones, answered the deep questions

Superintendent Luckey passed to them on
the regulated examination slips yesterday.
It was the annual examination for teachers'
professional certificates, 10 continue three
Saturdays; this being the case in Allegheny
City, too. OF the 1872 in Pittsburg 65 Of them
are members Of this years graduating class Of
the Normal School.
This number, 182, stands against 156 Of last
year. Each year the number anxious to OBJ
tain certificates grows less. Superintendent
Luckey, when asked the reason, replied that
applicants for city schools from outside the
city soon find that they stand little chance. for
ali the places are being filled by city normal
graduates. So the disappointed ones from out
OF town drop out of the number who come mp
for annual examination. The number Of nor.
NAL graduates now teaching in the city has
probably been doubled in the past two years.

neither horror nor shame. During the
twenty-five years that have passed since
then the amelioration in the condition OF
the soldier has been incalculable. But

did not lift up my testimony that the
men Of the old days endured their more
arduous lot with "a grand primitive resig-
nation.
They knew that the quartermaster and

that the pay corporal had glutinous in

them as brutes; the surgeon left his du-

no quick escape for them from those
abuses, for some of them were "lifers,"
and all were long service men.
But there were no professional agita-
tors in those days, nor any barrack room

A Patent Horse shoe.

A patent covers horseshoe which pos
sesses many advantages. On its under
surface is stamped a pattern which gives
a number of points for the securing Of a
better grip on the pavement, and this,
where wooden pavements are used, is an
important consideration. The shoe is
about half the weight of an ordinary
shoe, being two and half pounds the set
Of four; it takes less time and less money
to fix, has only four nails, as against the
usual seven. Being three-quarter shoe,
it leaves the frogs and heels on the ground
which prevents conclusion to the foot
and leg, contraction and corns.
The only preparation the hoof requires
after the old shoe is taken off is that the
rasp must be used on the toe and quar-
tiers, making a reduction Of about one
eighth Of an inch on the lower side of the
hoof. The frog and heels and back part
of the foot should not be touched. This
shoe is made in accordance with the well
established principle that the more the
hinder part Of the foot-which is very
tough-is used, the harder and healthier
it becomes. New York Telegram.

Policeman and Model.

There is big, picturesque policeman

occasional dollar as an artists model
Having posed during his watch on deck
for the benefit of the common people in
the flesh, he is transferred to imperisha-
BILE canvas to gladden. the artistic eye OF
generations yet to come. He has the
trunk and arms Of giant. In the opin-
ion of distinguished artist, this police.
man is the best specimen of massive
physical perfection he ever saw. OF
course, the lady artists have all had a
hack at him with pencil and brush, for
which he invariably gets one dollar sit
ting. No wonder he carries the air Of a
man thoroughly satisfied with himself.

A Novel Fabric.

a foreign textile journal records the
invention Of new kind Of looped fabric
which has a novel and beautiful effect,
with durability never before attained.
The popularity about it is that worsted
is used for the thread forming the figure
of the design and alpaca or mohair for
the threads forming the ground of the
design. The contrast between the lus-
trous and beautiful threads Of the mo-
hair and of the worsted, it is said, forms
