 The case of Wilson us the 3d School District, which has excited much news paper comment, was decided recently iu the Court of Common Pleas in favor of the District. The facts of the case were that an Irish American family by the name of Wilson in West Avon hay ing son about nineteen years old were anxious to have him teach the school in the district where he resided. They agreed with the examiner that the boy might try it, and if the examiner was not satisfied he might turn the boy out The boy tried and was found lacking in ability and education; and was turned out after short trial. Then his father sued the district for payment for $84 or the whole term. In the preliminary court Wilson was badly beaten amid the rejoicing of nearly the whole town. An appeal was taken and Wilson was again beaten, and bis costs are about $200., an expense he is not considered very we'll able to bear It is considered victory in favor of good schools.

Miss Penny Needs Help.

More than a generation ago Virginia Penny, a dark eyed, comedy young wom- an of education and social standing, pub hshed the first book ever designed to help working women. At her own ex- pense she travelled through the most thickly settled portions of the Union, gathering facts and figures about the work of women outside the three occu- pations then open to the sex generally homework, sewing and teaching. The information was written in admirable literary style and published and repub- hshed in book form. First it was named "Employments For Women" then it was issued under the title Five Hun. dred Occupations For Women" and and again it was called How Women Can Make Money" But it never profted the author financially, though thousands of volumes were sold. Miss Penny it now 65 years old and destitute, and ar appeal in her behalf is made-especially to that class which has profited so much by her labors.-Detroit Free Press

Exploded by Sunlioht.

The curious phenomenon that certain substances retain actinic power after be- ing withdrawn from light has been in- vestigated by M. Gautier, who now shows that mixture in equal volumes of chlorine and hydrogen will explode in twenty or thirty seconds when placed in the shade at a spot which the sun has re- gently lighted up; and it is singular fact that chlorine and hydrogen, which have been obtained by the electrolysis of hydrochloric acid, will explode to- gether in diffuse daylight, which only affects the two gases obtained by the or dinary laboratory methods very slowly. Again, if hydrogen gas is mixed with chlorine gas which has previously been exposed to sunlight the mixture will ex- plode instantaneously in the dark. These facts show, it is thought, that sub stances which have been submitted to the action of electricity, or which have been exposed for a certain length of time to the direct rays of the sun, are in peculiar state of excitement, which renders them much more active as re- gards one another than are the same substances prepared by the ordinary methods of the laboratory-theya acquire Q peculiar allotropic state, similar to what ozone is as regards ordinary exy- esu Kss,-New York Sun.

A Daughter of the Regiment Weeds.

During the last war in which the Kek- holmsky regiment was engaged the sol diers found woman dead in the snow on battlefield with an infant girl in her arms. By common consent the regiment adopted the child, who was christened Maria Kekholmskaya and sent to school at their expense. As she grew older she followed the regiment, and last week Lieutenant Shlemmer of the Tzumsky dragoons, demanded her hand in mar riage.
 A meeting of the regiment was held under Colonel Reichembach, who lad the proposal before "the fathers" of the girl. He gave the whole story of her life and of her acquaintance with her lover and added the highest testimony from General Paninton and all the off, cers of Lieutenant Shlemmer's regiment as to that young officers character.

 "Well, gimme ten cents then"
 "No; nor I won't give you ten cents, either"

 "Emphatically do."
 The tramp turned away.
 "All Ive got to say to you," he said sad ly, "is that I wouldn't take dime from a man who didn't have business judgment enough to compromise a claim of ten dol lars at one cent on the dollar for fear I'd be arrested for exercising undue influence on person of unsound mind" and he dis appeared in the shadows, leaving the gen. tleman in a state of bedazzled bewilder- ment.-Detroit Free Press.
