EDUCATIONAL FADS.

A few years ago an epidemic Of
educational theories swept over the
country converting many OF Its
schoolrooms into butcher shops and
infectious mud holes, where every
thing that would not benefit the boy
and girl in active life as men and
women. was taught to the exclusion
of the three RS the foundation stones
OF every solid educational structure.
One Of these fads was tho moulding
of clay into continents, islands, capes,
etc.. to illustrate the different di-
visions of the earth's surface. Teach
ers all over the country went wild
over this educational nonsense be-
cause, forsooth it was advocated by
some State uperintendent or other
party clothed with little brief au-
thority and pulled up by some editor
who knew less about the proper
education of the rising generation
than a Hindoo in the jungles of his
nntive country knows about the
Goddess Of Liberty. The failure Of
50 many of our boys to pass exaDina-
tons admitting them into Wost Point
is directly traceable to this craze that
had SO many devotees in the public
schools of this State. The States
money was used to import from Hi
nois and other States high pressure
gas-bLgs bearing the tito of Prof.
so and So to lecture the teachers of
the State on what not to teach to
make the boys and girls fitted for the
duties and responsibilities Of life.
These dcluded people are showing
signs Of returning reason and the
moulding board, and its nasty mud
arc being kicked o.!U into the school
yard from which they should never
have been taken. Prof. John Sweet,
City Superintendent of Schools, of
San Francisco, gives bis opinion Of
clay modelling in the public schools in
the following vigorous language:
"Teachers, children and mothers all
stand in dread Of this infectious dirt.
This latest of educational fads has
had It's run, like the IN ,ases and
whooping cough. 1t is time to stop
it. Sweep out the schOOlroOm, wash
the hands and faces and cl pthes of
the children and wait patiently for
solno wild rerormer to introduce into
the public schools some now notion
say cooking or dancing, or Spanish,
or washing and ironing, or French, or
sewing machines, or entomology, or
how to use a jackknife, or the only
scientific method of spinning tops or
playing marbles or flying kites"
AS ridiculous as this may seem, il
such wild eyed reformer shoulc
spring up hundreds of mon anC
women in whose hands the education
Of the rising generation is placed
would Immediately buy stock O
marbles, kites and tops and CONVEX
their schOOlroOms into educational
boar gardens for tho DEVELOPMENT O
the minds Of their pupils according
to the new dispensation

THE FLO wER-VExDER OF PARIS.

Some have the most wonderful leaves and
flowers, like lions mouths, and leaves
of these grow downward, as the flowers
shoot upward. Some of these orchids cost
hundreds of dollars, and they are rarer each
day, as Brazil has been devastated by coll
lect0rS from America and England. The
ferns, orchids and aZaleaS are never taken
away from this museum, but from March
until November all the public gardens of
Paris are oTnamented with flowers. To re-
new these flowers during the season re-
Quires 100000 plants. aud to accomplish
this work Paris is divided into two parts
the region of the right bank Of the Seine
and the region of the left bank. Each re-
gion is directed by a general manager, who
has under his control the gardeners of the
of his garden, and on this plan all designs
are made At La Muette there is a general
register, where are found the length,
breadth, etc, Of each h0wer-bed in the city.
The chief of each garden alone has the
right TO select the flowers he considers nee
essary for his square or garden, and ac-
cOndjngly he makes request that is carried
to the administration There's calculated the
size of the f10weT-bed. There is compared
the dimensions Of the plants, so as to Judge
at what distance from each other they must
be placed. The gardeners request, with
the remarks of the administration, is sent
to the chief gardener Of the establishment,
who fills the orders.
The gardens of the Palais Royal, Tuiler-
les, ElySee and Luxembourg belong TO the
State and not to the city. but flowers are
supplied in the same manner For instance,

A SO-CALLED WHIM,

But Man Gets Instant Relief When His
Wish Is Complied With.
THAT reminds me-" said the man who is
always being reminded of something.
What is it that reminds you, and
what of ?"
"This item about a man having his leg
buried the other day. / wonder if he will
have the same experience as a friend Of
mine. Strangest thing l ever heard Of. You
see, this poor fellow had suffered untold
agony for year or more after injuring his
right leg by falling downstairs, and finally
the member became so diseased that ampu-
tatiOn was necessary. The man nearly died
under the operation, though that is not the
interesting art of the story. The removed
portion Of the leg was taken away and
buried. 1t is we'll known, Of course, to sur
gcal science, that when a man has had a
limb cut off he still suffers. or thinks he suf-
fers, pain, which amounts to the same
thing. in the part Of the member removed.
1t was so in this case, and as my friend came
back to consciousness his constant COM
plant was Of the most severe pain in the
buried foot.
There is something pressing upon it,,
he would say, in what sounded like delirIam.
: It's packed too tightly
- Now, the sufferer knew nothing of
where or how his lost limb was buried, but,
as a matter of fact, it had been sWathed in
lot CT hay, packed tightly in box and
the whole put under ground. Day after day
went on, the suffering of the man with the
buried leg and foot grew intolerable, until
finally he begged his brother to dig up the
piece Of lifeless flesh, remove the wrsppngs
and change its position in the box. Only a
sick mans whim, thought the brother, who
was nursing the unfortunate fellow. Still,
why he could never explain, he, too. was
seized with a fancy that if he were to do as
the invalid wished. and then tell him about
il, the effect might be a relief to the sick
mans mind. It's all nonsense, of course, he
said to himself, but he went one night just
the same, dug up the limb, relieved it of its
wrapping, turned it over in the box and
buried the grewsome thing again, thinking
the next morning he would tell his brother
all about it. The first thing his brother
said to him when be saw him was: Some
thing queer happened last night What
was it2' Well, you know what | have
been telling yen about my buried limb, how
awfully it ached, and how il felt, as if some
thing was pressing upon it. Well, just about
10 o'clock last night, when the thing was
aching its worst, l all at once fell relief
The pain was completely gone, and l have
not felt it since
"The brother was atonished beyond ex-
preston. 1t was just exactly five minutes
before 10 o'clock on the night p' evi0us that
he had changed the position of the buried
limb, and he had not told living soul of
what be had done Rather curious, isn't
it ?-Cincinnati Enquirer.

UNHEARD-OF ATROCITIES.
The FieldiSh Deeds Of Manuel GaTciaS Cuban
Bandits.

Havana CORES pondence Of April sd says
that no one has yet claimed the $4,000 re-
ward offered for the capture of Manuel
Garcia, the celebrated Cuban bandit. An
ambush was prepared on April 18th. and
elabO rate plans laid to capture the robbers.
The troops took up Il position on the plan
tation Esperanza and awaited the coming of
the robbers, who were known to be trav-
cling in that direction. They bad not
waited long before nine horsemen came
around curve of the road and entered
the plantation. They were ordered to
halt, but did not reply. The officer in
command was about TO give the order
to Shoot when v0lley OF Tifie-halIs
was fired into the midst of the soldiers. The
troops replied at once. The bandits fired
again, and then galloped off as fast as their
horses could travel. 1t was then found
that Antoine Mayol, one of the bandits, lay
dead on the road. A trail Of blood was dis
covered leading from the plantation to
rocky hillock and to a small stream, where
it was lost proving that one of the bandits
was wounded. OF the soldiers one was
killed and several wounded seriously. May
els death relieves the residents of MatanZas
of the outrages OF one OF the bandits they
most feared. BY his death is also partially
avenged the brutal work of the bandits on
March 3fst at the hut Of Dionisio Menendez
The old couple lived on the outskirts OF
the small village Of Santa Rosa. 1t was
generally known that they had considerable
money in the house. as they did not trust
banks. On the night Of March 31st, Mr..
and Mrs. Menendez were aroused by loud
rRpping on their back door. Jumping out
of bed, Menendez inquired who it was.
We are the police, and we must see you at
once" answered voice from the ground.
Mr.. Menendez hastily threw on some cloth
ing and opened the door. He was con-
fronted by three men, who at once entered
the house. closing the door after them.
" We want all the money you have, aud be
quick about it, too" said the one who ap-
peared TO be the leader of the men, who
appeared to be bandits, not polite.

Menendez walked over TO his writing-desk.
closely followed by the leader Of the brig

and he struck the old man across the head
With his revolver, telling him with gaping
wound in his head. at this moment Mrs.
MenendeZ came into the room Tearing the
keys out Of her hands, the robber opened
and Tansaeked the writing-desk. Nothing
was found except documents to the value
of several thousand dollars and $500 in
Spanish gold. This angered the chief,
and turning to the old man, who had

cold. Much is destroyed, and the rest, al
though there seems to be spark of life, is
so dry and withered that we wonder how
the sap can ever reach the branches. 1t will
certainly require three or four years for the
new shoots TO reach size Of anyyalue as
ornament.
In the Bots de BoulOgne alone the loss of
shrubbery is estimated at 500, 600, and in the
other squares 100000 would not replace the
shrubbery destroyed by frost.
But unfortunately, money cannot replace
the losses. There are no shrubs because
horticulturists in the West OF France, those
who have been spared every other season,
this year suffered with the rest.
Losses from frost were not TO be feared
before exotic shTubbery formed the basis of
cold, but beside the luXurant foliage of i'm
ported plants they now produce but little
effect.
All our misfortunes came from the frost
of the night of November 26th; then the
thermometer Tell suddenly many degrees,
and as the growth of plants had hardly
ceased, this abrupt transition had the most
disastrous effects.
But If the rich cannot have this spring the
flowers that they prize so highly, the poor
find their favorite blossoms in the carts at
every street-corner. For two sous the
working girl can buy bunch of vlolets or
anemOnes. for her and flower is statue and
picture, all that is found in the homes of
the wealthy.
There certainly should be a flower charity
founded for the Paris workng-girlS, so that
each morning they could receive their
fav0rite bouquets without money and with
out price. BARONESS ALTHEA SALVADOR.
