an inch apart, while others require
distance of more than two inches be-
fore they can tell without looking
whether one point or two is touching
their wrist. When the results of these
measurements are tabulated it will be
easily seen whether there is any def
mite relation between the physical
and mental development of the pupils,
and il this relation is satisfactorily es-
tablished it will be used to advantage
in guiding the teachers as to the
amount of work that may be required
of pupil, in many cases preventing
an overstraining of those whose physic-
al development does not keep pace
with their mental, and pointing out as
well when more work can be required
of pupil without fear of injury. This
experiment is new departure, but it
is in line with the advance of modern
school work, and the teachers of the
schools are hopeful that it will lead to
valuable results.

UNSATISFACTORY
Returns from a Tempe Con-
signment of Grapes.
Disastrous Result Of an Experiment
Which Ought to Have Been
Successful.

Complete but unsatisfactory returns
were received yesterday from the car
load of grapes that were sent from this
point to Chicago under the protecting
care OF the Santa Fe line. They were
the first sweet grapes in the market
and the only ones at the time except
some Concord grapes from Georgia.
Upon arrival a telegram was received
that they were in prime condition. The
returns yesterday were 81 $50 or $l.05 a
crate, less than half the amount rea-
lized for the earlier California grapes
last season. j. H. Root, the druggist,
accom- panied the car and was directly
interested, having put up portion of
purchase money, and no doubt he did
circu instances.
The car was consigned to VIM.

grapes that were in every particular

Some advance the idea that Califor-

about the low figures, but however it
might have occurred the loss on the
carload is in the neiehborhood of $3.50.

GORGEOUS IN GATHERING GEMS
Jewels of Engiand's Aristocratic Danes
at the Queens Reception.

Jewels of England's Aristocratic Danes
at the Queens Reception.
AT the last drawing-room of Queen
Victoria there was carnival of jew
els. One reckless woman, the mar
chioness of Tweeddale. was arrayed in
white skirt whose many seams were
outlined with diamonds and emeralds.
The duchess of Devonshire was blaze
of gems and so was the duchess of
Buccleuch.
The marchioness seems to have been
the only one who sewed up the seams of
her skirt, so to speak, with jewels, but
there was quite goodly number whose
seams were outlined with diamonds.
One lady wore a long string of
diamonds across her breast like an
order. Jeweled hooks upon which to
hang their fans were worn by most of
the guests.
A quaint and beautiful fancy was
the placing of diamond in the heart
of rose worn in the hair or on the
bodice. There il nestled like a great
dewdrop, provided it was not lost in
the crush. Necklaces in profusion were
worn, and such was the passion for dis
play that these were often supple
mented by band of velvet studded
with stars. Birds, butterflies and flow
ers of jewels were quite common, and
the wells were kept in place by long
earrings formed into pins, but with
pendants free to flash out Kaleidoscope,
prismatic colors. The bodices were
fastened at the back with diamonds,
and one waist had a fringe of diamonds
across the front. Jeweled girdles were
also worn. The turquoise was repre-
scented whenever it would harmonic
with the color of the gown. Emeralds
were much worn, and the present SUI
premacy of mauve or heliotrope had
brought the amethyst out in force.

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
Measurements of School Children to BE
Taken for Scientific Purposes.

Taken for Scientific Purposes.
Superintendent Powell, of the Wash
ington public schools, and DR.. Harris,
of the bureau of education, wish to
find, by actual experience, whether or
not there can be established any GER
tain relation between the physical and
mental development of the children in
the various grades, and for this pur-
pose there will be taken series of
measurements of about twenty thou

supervision of the director of physical
training, Miss Stoneroad, the teacher,
has made a study of the systems of
physical measurement in use in the
gymnasiums and schools throughout
the United States and Germany, be-
sides having done good deal of ex-
detrimental work in the same line. and
the results of her experiments will be
embodied in the series of measure
ments to be taken in the public schools
of Washington, which will include the
height, weight, chest measurement
and some cranial measurements, be-
sides a series of experiments as to
nervous sensibility. These last con-
sist principally in ascertaining at what
distance apart the child is able to dis
tinguish between the points of pair
of calipers touching the wrists. The
results in this experiment are regarded
by the Post as interesting, some of the

POTTER'jS SENTENCE.

The dignity of the outraged banking
laws of the United States required but
a little balm when Asa p. Potter stood
up before Judge Putnam in the cir
cult court at Boston and was con-
demned to pay a fine of 81, 900 and
spend so days in jail, from which sem
tence the convicted bankwrecker
promptly took an appeal and walked
from the court room "a free man for
at least a year." say the newspapers
Potter was convicted of five offences
in connection with the failure of the
Maverick bank, and the maximum
punishment that he might have re-
ceived was % years in prison and S25. :
600 fine. The court in passing SEN
tence said that cit could not fail to
take into consideration two facts
that these offences the overdrafts1

sentenced to 60 days in Jail and a fine

court to assume that Potter's offense

word implies?'' His sentence is that

BUSINESS.

Naturally there is an exceedingly
conservative feeling among business

about money, tariff and cholera are
altogether to serious to be ignored.
It is quite true that up to the end of
March trade was very active, as well
as more profitable than ordinarily.
sition will be animportant stimulus in
some sections of the country. But, SO
long as the possibility Of further
trouble in the money market remains,
and while there is absolute certainty
of more or less arrangement result
ing from tariff changes setting aside
the chances of choIera-it will be i'm
possible to make prudent business
men think otherwise than that the
few months must be a period of ex-
IRENE caution in which purchases will
be very largely governed by immedi-
ate necessities. 1t seems reasonably
certain that the reciprocity treaties
will be withdrawing; that many raw
materials, such as coal, iron and wool
will be made free; that considerable
reductions will be made in the metals
and textiles schedules of the tariff,
and that the losses of revenue from
these sources will be compensated for
by the imposition of moderate duties
upon coffee, tea and sugar. The pos
sibilities of such changes, whether
they are firmly effected or not, of
course creates an unstable condition
of affairs and restricts purchases and
new enterprise in all directions. Bust
ness men feel that the sooner the
changes come, consistent with time

The case of Carlyle w. Harris, con-
victed of the murder of his young wife
and sentenced to death, is again at
tracing wide attention by reason of
the action of Gov. Flower Of New York
in staying the execution and promis-
ing a Communication Of the death SEN
tence to life Imprisonment.
Harris is either innocent or guilty of
the atrocious crime with which he is
charged. If the governor believes
him innocent, it is his duty to set him
at liberty; if he regards him as guilty,
he has no moral right to interfere with
the majesty Of the law and set pre-
cedent that will stultify it and work
unreasonable harm hereafter.
Gov. Flower is reported as saying
that he is opposed to capital punish
ment. If so, it is his prerogative to
commend change in the law, but
he has no more right, morally, to in
terfere with the statutes, which he
under oath is bound to obey, than the
most hardened criminal who comes
before him for executive clemency.-
