The prayers of the community are solicit
ed on behalf of Judge Green, of Ironton, the
unfortunate jurist who has been selected to
preside at the retrial of Vail, the alleged
wife murderer. Judge Normile extends his
sympathies to his unfortunate brother while
heartily rejoicing over his own escape from
an ordeal, the bare contemplation of which
caused him grievous loss of sleep Star
Savings,
In the above the Sayings
makes two mistakes. First and fore
most in supposing that Judge Green
needs anybody's prayers, and second
in giving his residence as Ironton in
stead of De Soto. He is an able and
impartial official, well prepared to
sustain the dignity of the court, and
our st. Louis friends can rest assured
that he will tolerate no repetition of
the disgraceful scenes that character
lied the former trial under the Nor
mile regime.

What howl our Democratic exchanges
are making about the "Bllion Dollar Con-
gress." They spell it out in order that the
sum may be appreciated. Well,
what of it: Who's going to get all this
money? II it is going into the pockets Of
Republicans, then there might be some eX
cuse for Democrat TO demur; but, they
are not honest enough to tell the whole
truth; tell the ",,olar a-day" laborer that
the greater part of the amount appropriated
is to 60 for labor and material; that this
money is to be expended in all parts of the
country, to build buildings, Improve har-
bors and buildings. promote agriculture,
commerce, science, art, improved mail facil-
tiles, and the thousand and one things a
great aud growing country needs; that ev-
cry dollar so spent is spent in the country,
and the iaboring man is going to get the
greater part Of it. Money spent in
the internal improvement of a country, state,
county or town is not money spent in vain.
1t furnishes employment to labor; is an ev-
idence of prosperity, and is source OF
pride to the inhabitants of the locality
where the improvements are made.-HttS-

SILK Weaving by Electricity.

An'interesting trial has been made in
Germany with silk weavers' looms
worked by electricity. By cable Of
100 feet in length, one horse power
electric shunt motor, with 100 volts and
four amperes, was put in motion, and
tho transmission for the weayers' looms
Wa restricted by q communication to
seventy two revolutions. Two weavers'
loogns were put in motion, the result be-
Mg that the working by electricity was
more satisfactory than that by means of
caioric engines or gas motors, and the
swinging masses, otherwise necessary
Tor the working on small scale, can be
dispensed with. The German papers
think the results named show that house
industry could easily be made to flourish
by the transmission of electric power,
and this all the more as electricity can
6etransmitted equally well under any
temperature. New York Telegram.

A Sample Of New York School Discipline.
At the opening exercises Of one Of our
grammar schools few days ago there
was q rather long pause between songs.
/ did not discover the cause Of this until
heard one Of the teachers remark in a
shrin voice, eve shall not proceed un-
til the girls on the right side Of the room
show some animation In their faces, and
until those on the Left side stop Adget-
ing" The remark struck me as very
peculiar and contradictory. How can
there be animation without motion?
Perhaps they have a peculiar drill at
that school known as Animation drill, ="
conducted In such manner that all the
girls look animated at the stroke Of the
bell. That these girls did not feel ami
mated under the circumstances is but
natural.
They were arranged In their seats in
such manner that they sat so exactly
one behind the other that a line drawn
from the center Of the forehead of the
girl on the front row to the center OF the
forehead Of the girl on the last row
would have been perfectly straight
ona It follows that the field Of vision
Of each girl excepting the first one was
completely filed by the hair on the back
Of the head Of the girl in front of her.
