committee of the council, withdrew the
resolution of Friday evening, which rec
commended the appointment of state
board of education by the governor and
substituted anew form. The substitute
provided, first, to establish a state board
of education; this was passed. The sec
ond provision, that after July l, 1895, all
persons who shall teach in the public
schools of Maine shall hold certificates

have already taught, was passed. The
third provision, that the board shall con-
sist of the governor and six persons APP
pointed by the governor with the advice
of the governors council to Iserve
for a term of six years was discussed for
an hour and the debate was sharp. A
motion to postpone the adoption of the
resolution was lost by vote of Is to 14s

board shall consist of the governor and
six persons" and this was adopted. The
proposed state board of education shall

common schools, and the interest mani
tested in favor of manual training were
also commended. Effort was urged to
secure the best possible results from the
laws regarding the teaching of the effect
of stimulants, the elements of agricul-
ture and the wrong of cruelty towards
animals. The report of the committee
on school savings banks was commended
The usual resolutions of thanks were
adopted. The school savings banks are

Many are familiar with the famous
"Buffalo Bill's" wonderful wild west show.
Prior to his venture abroad, Mr.. Cody exhib.
tied at Staten Island, in New York Harbor,
where he became afflicted with Malaria.
Knowing the virtues of Kickapoo Indian
Sagwa, Mr.. Cody sent to the agents for this
wonderful Indian remedy; and after using
few bottles was permanently cured.
SIT is remarkable medicine" said Mr..
Cody. "and have known of its virtues
long time. You may use my name and say
that for what it claims to do it has no equal,
and for malaria and chills it Is far superior
to quinine in many ways"
This from the leading plainsman in Amer.
Jean history, man whose integrity is un.
questioned, should prove beyond shadow
of doubt that Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is just
what is claimed for it : an honest medicine Of
superior curative qualities, combining the
best of the vegetable kingdom gathered
from the forests and gardens of nature.

Now hand fourth match to one Of the
company and request him to lift with 1t the
other three from the table. Such Is the
problem to be solved. The diagram on the
left indicates tho solution. All that you
have to do is to insert the fourth match just
inside the point OF the tripod between the
two conjoined and the single match and
with it to press the two Joined matches
lightly outward till the third falls with its
upper end on the one you hold. You lower
this till the end Of the single match passes
within the angle formed by the juncture Of
the first two. II you then raise the match
you hold IN your hand, the three others will
ride astride upon 1.-THE single match on the
one side, the two Joined matches on the
other. The table used should have cloth
omit, that the lower ends of the matches may
not slip. Some little delicacy of handlingi is
Deedful TO make the single lucifer fall just
in the right position, but this once achieved
the three matches thus slightly supported
might be carried across the room without
any fear Of dropping them.
Like most Of these little tricks, the thing
Is easy enough when you are told how it is
done, but celebrated architects and con-
tractors skilled In the art Of construction
have tried 1t over and over again without
meeting with success.

Tho Rrrs OF the nohuhIto.

Perhaps no bird In America, certainly no
other in Michigan, equals the common bob
white, or quail, in the number Of eggs it sets
upon. This species not infrequently lays IS
eggs, and even more are found in one nest,
but I can assure the readers that with any
other shaped eggs the bobwhite could never
succeed as a successful setter. The bob
whites egg Is triangular and fits in as no
other egg, to my knowledge, can, says DIR.
Morris Gibbs in Science. With all birds
which lay good clutch, so far as DR.. Gibbs
observations go, the eggs are deposited in
almost an exact circular group. The bird
must use excellent Judgment in thus ar
ranging them, for 1t is only by this order
that they can all be covered properly. Not
infrequently when grouse is startled from
her eggs she tumbles one of her treasures
from its bed. II the egg is not too far re-
moved, it will almost invariably be found
returned to its exact position in the nest
within few hours.

What Is Celluloid9

Probably great majority Of the people
who have used celluloid these many years
have no knowledge of its composition and
never have suspected that 1t was simply
paper, chemically treated, reduced again TO
pulp and then nodded into it's final form
Of beauty and utility" The Paper World
says the process is not complicated one
A roll of paper is slowly unwound, being
saturated with a mixture of parts of sui
phuric acid and parts Of nitric acid, which
falls upon it in fine spray. This changes
the cellulose Of the paper into propylin gun
cotton.
The excess Of the acid having been ex-
PEELED by pressure, the paper is washed with
plenty Of water till all traces Of the acid
have been removed. 1t Is then reduced to
pulp and bleached. Most of the water hav-
ing been got rid of by means Of strainer,
the pulp is mixed with 20 to 40 per cent Of
camphor, and the mixture is thoroughly
triturated under millstones. The necessary
coloring powder having been added, sec
ond mixing and grinding follows. The pulp
Is then spread out In thin layers on slabs,
and from 20 to 25 Of these layers are placed
In hydraulic press, separated by blotting
paper, and subjected to pressure of $50 at
mospheres until all traces of moisture have
disappeared.

Atalanta.

Atalanta was the daughter of Jasus and

According to ancient legends, she was ex-

There she was found near the entrance of o
cave by hunters, who brought her up and
eventually restored her to her parents. She
slew the centaurs Rhoecus and Hyleus and
sailed with the Argonauts on their search
for the golden fleece She had many suit
ors, and being the swiftest Of mortals Of
fered to become the wife of him who should
outstrip her, the penalty Of defeat being
death. She was conquered by trick Of one
Meilanion, whom she was compelled to
marry. He obtained from Venus gift Of
three golden apples, which he successfully
dropped in the race, and Atalanta was so
charmed by their beauty that she could not
refrain from stopping to gather them and

The Battle of the Waves,

OF all the Swiss lakes the lake Of Luz
cerne has themost irregular shape, its many
bays running north or south, east or west.
Owing to these windings it is often exposed
to violent storms, but while in one bay the
waters may be lashed into perfect fury in
an adjoining bay not a ripple will disturb
the surface. Thus when a strong south
wind blows down the bay Of Uri the very
same wind, turned from its course by the
mountains, comes from the west from the
bay of Buochs THERE'S point just oppo-
site Brunnen where the two sets OF waves
meet, and then q terrific contest ensues for
mastery. At such moment the spray is
driven into the air in vast sheets to height
of 80 feet or more. While the battle RACES
there may be seen under the shelter of the
promontory at Treib several of the lake
steamers and whole fleet of fishing and
small boats waiting for the tempest to pass.
So violent is the motion that even on large
steamers cases of ''sea" sickness are not un-
usual. The experiences gained in facing
such dangers have made the boatmen of
the lake famous from the earliest times.

"Fineness" and Mint Mark.

It is learned from Evans History of the
United States Mint" that "fneness," the
term used in treating of bullion mints, coin
age and money, indicates the proportion of
pure metal contained in piece of gold or
silver. Fineness Is expressed in thou
sandths-that is, pure metal is 1000 Unit
ed States coin is 9O0-10oO fine, or decimally
300 fine. Fineness is estimated by jewellers
aad workers in the precious metals by
"carats," pure metal being "a carats. Thus
20 carats, the British standard for gold
coins, is 22-A carats, or decimally .9l6 2-s
fine.
Mint mark" means the letter or mark
on the coin designating the mint at which
1t was struck, as ''S.," for San Francisco;
&c. c." for Carson City; "O.," for New
Orleans. The coins struck at the parent
mint in Philadelphia bear no mint mark.

Brick Paving Laid on Gravel.

The city engineer, Mr.. w. NJ. Whitten
of South Bend, Ind, reports in a letter to
Municipal Engineering on brick paving laid
on a foundation of rolled gravel. He claims
IL to be in as good or better surface after a
years traffic as the brick paving in other
cities laid on a concrete foundation. He
also states that a street in South Bend paved
with one course of brick is in better surface
than one paved with two courses at cost
30 per cent greater. Mr.. Whitten lays all
brick pavements with the courses at an
angle Of As degrees with the line Of the street
and believes that the pavement wears more
evenly and keeps in better surface when so

From Pillar to Post.

This familiar expression is said to be de-

school of olden times. Thepillar was placed
in the center Of the ground, and the posts
were arranged two and two around the cir
cumference of the ring at equal distances.
Hence from pillar to post" signifed going
from one thing to another without any
definite purnoea
