Training of Students

The eminent authority. Prof. Viz
chow. in an address In Berlin, has
called into question the study of
grammar as means of progressive
development in schools. He recon-
meuds rather mathematics, philoso-
ply and the natural sciences, which
give 50 firm al intellectual prepsra-
ton to youths that they Can easily
make themselves at home in any de-
partment OF learning subsequently
undertaken. No school boy, he said 4,
will be the. worse for being able TO
name and distinguish a certain mum .
Der of plants, animals aud stones, aud
the essential discipline should consist
in the training of the senses, especial
ly those of sight and touch. DIR. Vlr.
chow says that q large number OF
pupils have no exact knowledge OF
color, make false statements about
the forms of things they see, and
show no understanding for the con-
sistency of bodies and for the nature
of their surfaces. He advocates the
general teaching of simple drawing
and painting. than which nothing Is
better calculated to develop accurace
of Judgment regarding color and form.

Extensive Abuse,

Users of the telephone are apt not
only to be impatient at the apparent
slowness of the central" which is
often unavoidable in the press of
business at the exchange, especially
at Ger tain times OF the day, but to ex-
press their sentiments on the suhjac
with Incorporating vigor. In
Austria such an indulgence may
prove more expensive than it would in
this country. Recently, in Vienna, a
merchant who was anxious to connect
speedily with the central was de-
tanned by temporary block on the
line. Without waiting to find the
cause of the detention he vented his
ire by speaking in uncomplimentary
terms Of the slowness of the operator
at the exchange, who, of course,
heard 1t all. She said nothing then,
but day or two after the merchant
received summons for having used
"abusive and defamatory language"
respecting the young lady, and on
the case being brought before the
court he was fined $50.

GuagLng che Qualify of Air.

An instrument has been invented
by which the degree of impurity
which may exist in the air of any
room or place can be determined cas-
lily and accurately. This invention
involves a modification of Mr.. Att
ken's invention for counting the dust
particles held in suspension in the air,
both of them heing based on the as
certained fact that 8 particle of dust
at certain temperature and degree
of moisture in the atmosphere be-
comes q free surface, which attracts
the moisture and thus turns into q
cloud particle. By passing a jet of
steam through a tube containing air
impregnated with dust, colors vary
ing from delicate green to deep
blue are developed. Each of these
tints indicates the relative degree in
which the air is impregnated with
dust particles.

AMERICAN CHOLERA.

From Daily Reveile, Whatcom, Wash. |
1T. c. Burnett, the democratic candi-
date for sheriff, was taken violently i'll at
ClearbrooK. He had all the symptoms Of
Asiatic cholera, and for an hour or two it
was feared he would die. They finally
gave him dose of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy, which
revived him until a physician arrived. I"
That is precisely what the manufactu-
rers of that medicine recommend for chol-
era. Send for physician but give their
medicine until a physician arrives. If
cholera becomes prevalent in this country
next summer this preparation will be in
great demand because it can always be
depended upon. For sale by f. Kalteyer

Converting Coal Into Electrical En-


The solution of the problem of ICON.
verting coal directly into elect ricity,
which is being grappled with by
some of the first inventors Of the day,
Is estimated to mean the opening up
to mankind Of benefits equal to TWEEN
ty times those following In the wake
of the steam engine, and the steam
engines of the world today are doing
work that would require the lsbsr Of
1000, 900 900 men. At present coal Is
burned under boiler for the produc
ton OF steam; the steam Is passed
through an engine and power is pro-
duced; then the power of the engine
turns a dynamo and electricity is
created. In the course of this long and
elaborate process there is q clear loss
of 90 per cent OF power, so that only
s per cent is really available. An cleo
trician, who has faith in the ultimate
devising of all electric generator, in
which coal is shoveled In at the bot
tom and electricity taken out at the
top, and the enormous waste of pres
ent methods saved, has calculated
that among the results of this change
would be the possibility of q transat-
lantic steamship that now burns 800
tons of coal per day, doing q days
work with but fifteen; or, with the
present coal consumption being able
to cross the ocean in less than two
days. In the same way. an electric
locomotive, carrying its own supply
of coal and generating it's own electri-
city, would be able to pull train of
cars from Bos ton to New York in less
than two hours Furthermore, the
machinery of our great manufacture
les, which now require to move it
power equal to the labor Of 1000, 900
men. could then be operated for one
twentieth of the present cost.

and permitted the issue of notes against the
bonds OF any State of the Union, so that
when, on the breaking out of the war, Vfr-
ginia and Missouri bonds went down to al
cured by them went down with them.
The True Limits of the Currency.
But whether the security is sufficient or
insufficient, the fact that it is required at all
limits the volume of the currency issued
upon it to the amount of its availability.
Nor will any bank or broker go to the
trouble and expense of providing this secnr-
ity in order to make q merely temporary
issue of notes against it. When he once gets
them out ne wants to keep them out ana IL
he cannot get one rate of interest for the
money, he will take another.
The question will no doubt here be asked,
as it has been already asked OF me by those
with whom have conversed upon the SUBJ
country with currency when the present
national debt natures and the national
Danknotes now secured by these bonds are
retired?" My answer is that which Presi-
dent Lincoln used to give to questions IN
yolving similar remote contingencies: Ut
is time enough to cross bridge when you
como to it," We certainly nave currency
enough now. and we shall probably have
no less when the national debt natures, 10
years hence If it then should be NECESSARY,
Congress can authorize the issue by the
national banks OF notes upon sufficient
security other than United States bonds: OF.
what seems to me preferable, it can pay on
the outstanding debt with legal tender
notes as largely as is consistent with their
maintenance at par with gold. But, what
ever We do then, let us not commit ourselves
now, when we are in no need of 1t, to re-
newul OF the reign of wildcat money which
has so many times already demonstrated It's
power for mischief.

French Primary schools.

The children pay for their midday
meal by means of counters, which
are bought by their parents at so
much a dozen; but in cases of pov-
erty, either chronic or occasional,
these tickets can be obtained with
out payment, though when the chill
dren give them in they do so just as
the others do, and none of their com
panions know whether it is by the
care of the state or of their own par
ents that these little ones are fed.
Before we exclaim at the cost to the
taxpayer we must remember that
the French have no poor laws like
ours, and that this is simply one Of
their methods for distributing relief,
and probably less costly than our
own.
1t is something to be able to feel
that there hardly can be such a
thing as an absolutely starving child
in Paris within the limits of school
age, and this not in winter only, but
all the year round. One meal day,
at least, the state insists upon, and it
seemed to me that this vigilance
over the health of the young, this
determination to take off for them
the sharpest edge of extreme priva-
ton without marking them with the
brand of pauperism, must in time
have visible effects on the physical
well being of the entire population.
What an untold relief to many
mothers it must be to know that, on
school days at any rate, their chill
dren are sure of at least one good
meal dayl 1t is eaten on tenn
porary tables formed with boards
and trestles. .-Macmillan's Magazine.
