THE Chicago Board Of Education
has decided to give the preference in
employing female teachers to maids
and widows and has barred from
competition for place women with
children under ? years old. Here's
an oppt rtunity for frenzied shrek
on the part of the people who, APP
parentIy have nothing to do but criti-
else the conduct of the Board. Al
belt, the decision, while on its face
1T looks like Encouragement of mar
riage and matrimony, is a most sensi-
BILE one. 1t will come pretty hard on
some husbands whose wives have
hitherto supported them, but the
harder the better in this regard.

RUSSIA has concluded that female
convicts on the way to Siberia shall
no longer be flOgged, but in case Of
evincing unseemly displeasure shall!
. be half starved instead. This is re-
garded over there as an immense con.
cession to the demands of humanity.
Whether or not the women consider
it such can hardly be ascertained, as
they Will be apt to die on the way,
whereas some OF them were formerly
unfortunate enough to survive.

In 1892 the raisin crop of Califor-
mia amounted to II, 000,0 pounds,
which was about equal to the con-
sumption of the United States -four
or five years ago The first 1000 car
loads sent East realized the raisers
Al cents per pound. But, says the
San Francisco Examiner owing to an
livestock of the market and "insane
competition" in November several
hundred carloads of the remainder
were consigned to Eastern brokers,
who in many cases loaned money
thereon, and were sold at prices that
would bring the grower about | cent
per pound.

COL. BRYAN IS RIGHT.

Representative Charles 7. Bryan,
of Du Page County, in rising to a
question of personal privilege in the
House Wednesday said:
Judging from resolutions intro

my seat, the bugabOo of corruption
crept on to this floor for the first time
in the history of this body. 1t came
the form of some bobtail passes

set aside from the $500, 600 already
appropriated small portion Origi-
nally intended for the instruction Of
the gallant and self sacrificing boys
among lis and my constituents who
gave 50 much time and money for the
protection of their community in pre-
pairing themselves for emergencies, Il
bulwark against the encroachments
OF monopoly on the one side and of
the unruly elements on the other.
Mr. Speaker, as soon as received
the Worlds Fair pass |, like many
of my associates, wrote friendly
letter of protest because | did not UNI
derstand that April 80 was the end
OF the fiscal year Of that corporation
and that no passes beyond that time
had been printed. Although bach

passes should be issued to every mem

do believe that every public carrier

A Two Legged Cat.

Miss Eleanor Lewis has written a
charming little book called s,Famous
Pets of Famous People," which was re-
Gently published in Boston. Sir Walter
Scott, it says, was fond of poultry, cat
tile, sheep, pigs and cats. Byron was
fondes. of dogs and wrote poetry about
them. Charlotte Cushman. the great
actress, was another lover of dogs, as
was Charles Lamb, the poet, and Carlyle.
the philosopher.
One OF the earliest pet cats on record
is that of Prince Haua. au Egyptian
notability who lived several thousand
years ago, and between stone feet of his
statue was placed the image of his cat,
'Bouhaki." The statue may still be,
seen at the Louvre. More famous than
Bouhaki is "Muezza," the cat OF Ma.
homet. Petrarch, too, was lover OF
cats, and when his little white ssmicino"
died its body was carefully embalmed.
Tasso addressed n sonnet to his cat
Gregory the Great, Richeiieu aud VOL
sey are among tho ecclesiastical dignl.
tarics who have shown their preference
for cats. Lord Chesterfield gave all his
sats--and they were many--a life pen.
