EDITOR CHIEFTAIN, DEAR SIR
Nearly every town in the United
States Of 10000 population with
its now indispensable high school
furnishes as complete an educa-
tion as either Yale or Harvard did
during the first hundred years Of
their existence; this wonderful ex-
tension, Of educational privileges
would have come about doubtless
had Horace Mann never lived, but
it is a fact that the great awaken
ing OF forty years ago, in the cause
of the higher education Of the com.
mon people, was due to him. The
statue Of Horace Mann occupies
the place Of honor beside that Of

Production OF Portland Cement.

Mr.. Giron read before the Engineers
club at Philadelphia paper on the trade
Of the.world In Portland cement, in the
course Of which he said that the present
annual production In Europe amounts to
over N,OOO,O 900 barrels and Its CONNER
cial value to over 81 zoo, 1000. The first
factory was established at Northheet, on
the Thames. The process was 80 crude
that In 1850 only four factories were in
operation. In England there Is now
over $500, 900 barrels made each year..
The process Is much the same as it was
twenty years ago. The raw materials
are chalk and clay, both pure, and al.
Enough inferior processes are employed
they make satisfactory cement.
A few years ago the entire product Of
the kilns was put on the market, hut the
fineness Of the Continental cements led
English makers to improve their pro-
cesses, although even now English ce-
ment is not as rule as firm as Geneva
or French Portland.-New York Even

Pony SAVED the valueblee

PoIly SeVeq the SRiueDie6
We had moved into 9 newly built
house, which had all the modern im-
proyements, the electric bell being one
Of them.
It was cold winters night. Mr.. and
Mrs. J. were travelling In Europe and
the servants were all gathered about the
kitchen fire. Polly was also near the
fire, but In the dining room. which was
up stairs.
She used 20 see our mistress ring the
bell for the servants to enter, and, like
o elever bird, studied on this for q long
while.
On this night Polly was all alone,
when suddenly the door opened and
two men entered. The room being
dark they could not see the bird end
began searching for yalusbles, for they
were burglars.
Polly now proved her worth She put
out her claw and pressed the button Of
the electric bell
It brought the servants to tha dining
room, where, after short struggle, they
secured the burglars, who were about to
make way with much of the valuable
silver In the dining room.
Polly was fed on .dainties for some
time as reward for her valuable as
distance. Cor. New York Recorder.

Royal Flute Player.

Frederick the Great made generous
presents to all musicians except flute
players. He played the flute remarka-
bly, well himself. and his proficiency
sometimes led to acts that caused dis
appointment to his brother artists. A
famous futist once visited Potsdam
and asked permission to play to the king.
hoping that Frederick would show his
: appreciation of his skill by some valua-
bic gift. -
Frederick received him graciously,
and listened attentively while he played
difficult piece.

am very glad to have heard q virtuoso
Of such ability. will give you proof
OF my satisfaction
So saying he left the room. The mu-
sician waited, guessing at the probable
nature Of the .'proof.n
Presently the hing returned with his
own flute and played the same piece
which had just been executed for him.
Then hebade his visitor good day, y,Ssay-

Rov n, Continent Attract Seas.

How the Continents Attract Seas.
The effect Of grayitation in hesping up
the sea waters upon the shores of conti-
nents. is one of the most interesting, as
well as the most curious and least con-
sidered, facts in connection with old
oceans history. Thus the continents
are all situated at tops of great hills OF
mountains of water, and to cross the At
lantic or any other ocean the ship has
to first, go down the sloping sheet, cross
the valley and then climb the noun
tain ioftwater on the other side before it
safely reaches a harbor.
In this connection the interesting cal
culation has been made that in mid
ocean on the Atlantic the depression is
about three-fourths Of mile below the
level Of thewater at coast line, while a
ship in travelling from San Francisco to
Yokohama, Japan, must cross q valley
at least mile in depth.-St Louis Re-

An old Scotch servant attached to
the household Of the famous British
logician, Sir William Hamilton, was as
proud Of his masters fame as If it had
been his own, and, having picked up o
few OF Sir Williams technical words
and phrases, brought them into play on
every possible occasion.
One day gentleman who was fond
Of drawing out old John for the amuse-
mept of the company said to him, with
an engaging air:
~ suppose, John, now that you've
lived so long with such great reasoner
as Sir William, you are quite able to
conduct an argument yourself"
