LEARNING FROM US.
England and Germany Send Commtsxtons | to Learn How We Do Thinas-

England and Germany Send Commts~soz
 to Learn How We Do Things-
 A commission was sent from England to this country about six weeks ago for the purpose of examining the American system of public education in order to ascertain if there be any of it's features that can be advantageously adopted in England or can be incorporated in new school bill which is in course of prepara- ton for introduction to parliament. All of the five members of the commission are ladies, and all are teachers in London schools. To each of them has been as- signed prescribed district in this ooun- try, and the one of them on service In and near this city has performed her duty thoroughly and has gathered large amount of useful information, knowl- edge of kind that cannot be obtained from school reports or from books about our system of popular education. The commissioners are women of experience and of singular capacity for the duties intrusted to them. We trust that their labors here will inure to the advantage of their country and aid in the deamorh- xation of its schools.
 It seems that Germany as well as England is willing to learn something from this country. The German gov ernment has appointed commission of military engineers to examine the rail road system of the United States and make report upon it. They are to study the agencies of direction, the mechanism in use and the methods of transporta- tion, with especial view to the obtaining of suggestions that may be useful to Germany in the event of war. We sup pose that all persons who have travelled extensively over the railroads of Ger many and have observed the way of conducting railroad business there must be assured that the commission can ob- tain 8 number of useful hints here. The commissioners upon their arrival in this country will doubtless endeavor to make the acquaintance of Dr. Chaunoey M. Depew, who is entirely familiar with all the details of railroading and with the methods of transporting both men and freight for long distances or for short. Dr. Depew is now jaunting out west, where he is charming the interviewers, but we are sure that he will take time in any month of the year to render service to the German military engineers sent here to deviss ways by which the rail road metho4s of Germany may be im- proved.
 We are happy that our country is able to give valuable suggestions both to England and Germany. The English system of popular education is not as orderly as our system. The German ad- ministration of railroads may be made more efficient than 1t is by the adoption of some of the novelties that are of use here.-New York Sun.

Merchants familiar with mixed

paints that have been put upon the mar ket during the past ten years, will tell you that many of the manufacturers of these paints seem to think that they could sell anything that was labelled paint, that the merchant cared little what was contained in these paints, and it made no difference to the consumer. The cheapness and convenience of mix ed paints, however, counted much in their favor But the demand for mixed paint that was actually paint, and not simply labelled paint, became apparent, and merchants received the Chiffon Paints when they were introduced upon tue market, with the greatest of favor, because they knew what they were made out of the best materials that could be bought, were full measure. and that none of the tricks used to cheapen the cost of production were resorted to, The merchant could recommend them. The standard of excellence has never been lowered. The same quality of paint is put up in pound cans as ill large packages Chiffon Paint Co.,, New York and Boston.

She Kissed the Negro.

In "Old Vienna" one of the most at- tractive features of Midway plaisance, a strange incident was noticed. A native of Abyssinia had entered the restaurant and was seated at one of the tables. He was tall and well formal His hair fell in ringlets upon his shoulders. He was young and handsome, but black as night. Presently pretty little Viennese wait ing maid tripped up to where he sat, reached down and gave him a rousing kiss. There was great laughter all around, and the handsome darky also laughed, for he enjoyed the joke fully. It seems that the waiting maid had been challenged by party of American visit ors to kiss the swarthy stranger. She accepted the challenge and won So thereby.
 No woman who had lived any length of time in this country would have done that thing. The Viennese girl seemed to have no suspicion of any indelicacy in the act, and the fact that the victim to her pleasantly was a negro gave the ad- venture, in her opinion, all the more spice.
 No one who goes to Europe from this country can, fail to be startled by the seemingly special favor in which the ne- gro is held abroad. We do not wonder that the negro likes life in England. Ger many and France. We are not surprised to read in the dispatches that negro jockeys are offering their services free, provided English turfmen will pay their transportation to England and board them while there. In Europe the negro is petted. He enjoys privileges hardly accorded to Caucasian visitors. And womankind there simply dotss upon him.-Chicago Record.
