PLAY.
1t is Better Than Gymnastics, says NJ.
Lagrange. the Scientist.

The pre-eminently recreative exercise
is play. This natural gymnastics brings
with it an attraction that animates the
most Indifferent and gives inspiration to
the most phlegmatic. And what con-
trast there is between pupils exercising
in play and those upon whom Il system
attic gymnastics is imposed-between
English school children, tor example, and
French. In France, to verybody's sor-
row, the children seem to have horror
of motion. Left to themselves, as soon
as they are out of the schoOl-room, they
walk along slowly in couples or gather in
groups in the corners of the yard; and
they pass the time in chatting, in phil
osophiZing." Gymnastics is obligatory,
it is true, on some days and at certain
hours; but witness of the lesson will be
struck with observing that hardly four or
five pupils out of thirty execute their ex-
ercises conscieRtiously. The others pre-
sent themselves in their turn, but hardly
outline the movement. The Professor in
cites them, urges them; and they go back
to their places after having made an imi-
tation of an effort. In the English col
leges no regulation makes them exercise
obligatory, and every one is free to dis
pense with it or engage in it at will. But
all give themselves up to it with incredi-
BILE ardor. Weak and strong, young
pupils or students 20 years old. all show
an equal passion for those plays in the
open air, now neglected in France, for
which gymnastics has been so unfortu-
natelv substituted. M. Fernand La
grange, in Popular Science Monthly.

The story DIscredited.

WASHINGTON, March 81. = The story
from San Francisco that Commander
Whiting of the Alliance is about to be
married to Miss Eta Fong, daughter of a
wealthy Chinese merchant of Honolulu,
excited much comment at the Navy De-
partment, but the officials there, especi-
ally those who are officers in the navy.
take no stock therein. Those who know
Commander Whiting intimately do not
think the reported marriage at all likely
to take place.

A Recordfnp RECENT Machine.

A useful machine has been constructed
for recording and checking moneys re-
ceived. The device consists of stamp
which bears on its base an impression
plate holding the words received. name
and date. Figures are placed on three
wheels, on the shafts of which are a SEQ
ond series of wheels, so arranged that
any combination of figures shown out
side the stamp are also shown inside.
and the same figures are thus printed on
the record paper in the top of the stamp
as are imprinted on the invoice paper
underneath. Each time the stamp is used
the recoil OF the handle carries forward
the record paper so as to present a fresh
surface for the next printing, and bv a
simple arrangement inside the stamp no
receipts can be given without the record
paper being moved. 1t is, therefore. i'm
possible to give receipt without record
ing the transaction inside the apparatus.
The stamp eau be adjusted and a recent
given in one-third of the time occupied
in writing a receipt, with the further
advantage that the apparatus cannot max e
mistakes.

DRAWING DOUBLE SALARIES.
Scandal Concerning Members of the
Behring Sea Commission.

Scandal Concerning Members of the
Behring Sea Commission.
WASHINGTON, March 81. - Although
not a month in their new positions some
of the Cabinet officers have found time,
in addition to disposing of the horde of
oflice-seekers, to closely scrutinize the
affairs of their departments under the
late administration, and it is limited that
some very interesting developments will
soon be made public.
1t is said that the personnel of the
American Commission sent to France to
straighten out the sealing tangle is not
regarded with favor by President Cleve-
land, and it is possible that several of the
men may be recalled before the arbitra-
ton proceedings are concluded.
Gresham and Carlisle have brought to
light a scandal of sensational dimensions.
affecting the staff of the Behring Sea
Commission, now in session in Paris.
1t is probable that Major Elijah w.
Halford, who, while Private Secretary to
Harrison, was appointed Paymaster in
the army, will be recalled from his pres
ent post as disbursing officer of the
Behring Sea Commission unless he con-
sents to certain material changes in the
condition of affairs as Gresham and
Carlisle find them.
Moreover, it is probable that the serv-
ices of ex-Secretary of State John w.
Foster, who is now serving as the Amer
lean agent of the Behring Sea arbitrators,
would be dispensed with if his recent
high position as Cabinet officer did not
in some measure protect him from too
harsh criticism and too summary action.
The members of the staff of the COM
mission have been allowed extremity lib
eral perquisItes in addition to their regu-
lar compensation.
1t is not known what Foster receives.
but is to be inferred that it is quite large
sum in view of the fact that Halford, in
addition to his regular pay as Major OF
from 1920 to s., 600 per year. is allowed
Sl5 per day, or in all about S, ,675 per year.
]. Stanley Brown, the husband of Mol
lie Garfield, the daughter of the late
President Garfield, is drawing two sal
aries, one of $40 and the other of SIS per
day, or 50, 125 per year.
Several others receive double pay. the
extra amount ranging from Sl5 to So per
day.

WASHINGTON, March 31.--A Repub-

councils, said to-day that proposed Sena-

and the reorganization schemes would
come to nothing this session. They could
not be considered while the contested

that subject was disposed of the Senate

"sA1JTA CLAUS DELIGHT. ,

"SAlNTA CLAUS DELIGHT"
Was rendered on Saturday evening
b. the children Of the Methodist Sui
day School, in the church, to a de-
lighted audience. Half the people
didn't get inside the building, but
those who were fortunate enough to
secure standing room were well re-
warded. It would be difficult to dis
criminate between the performers
where all took their parts so admirably
The three old maids were some OF
the most charming old maids one
could find in days journey. We
couldn't help thinking that if we were
anywhere between 20 and 25 years old,
one of those old maids would be more
likely to attract than to repel us.
"Lottie brought down the house,
while the "boot blacks" and the
"news boys" were as natural as life.
The Brownies we're very attractive.
No mistakes, no laundering, every
thing going off like clock work.
"Genevieve" was always singing, eve
Never Miss the Pennies that are Civ

The best critics we have seen con-
cedeit to be the very best performance
ever given by a sunday school in Nor
ris. The labor necessary to bring the
little folks up to such perfect stand
ard was no child's play; it was long
and arduous.
Mrs. Fuller trained the Brownies,
and they did her great credit, and
Miss Lena Thoele assisted we'll in the
other parts of the cantata; but the in
cessant labor of weeks, of another lady,
whose spirit permeated the whole
work, deserves unqualified praise, but
we gave our word to Mrs. Pearce that
we wouldn't name that lady, and we
won't. There now, we have put ou1
foot down on it, or in it, as you please

One Entered II by Stealth and
Found Others Before him.
When Isaac X. White returned to his
home in San Francisco at o'clock,
after enjoying his Sunday dinner with
some friends, he was disagreeably
surp ised to find an unnecessary
amount of light bu ming in his house
Processing to investig tie, he became
suddenly aware of tn ce u n dashing
down the staircase, the foremost of
whom ran at him full tilt and knocked
him down. MIR. White picked himself
up quickly and blew his police whistle
with all his might Policeman Riordan
came up in time to see man running
down the street, and at once gave
chase, finally capturing his man. The
other two escaped.
The arrested gave his name as Frank
Hearne, % years of age, and was
charged at the Southern police station
with burglary. Far from being dis
tressed at finding himself in such po-
sition, he seemed rather proud, and
the only thing that troubled him was
the thought that he had not been first
in the field. He denied having worked
with any one, and said that he had
gone to the house with the
intention of burglarizing it, but
to his amazement he had found
two men already in possession. They
had stolen a good deal of silverware,
he said, and had laid it on the sto p.
He promptly picked it up and was MAX
ing off with it when arres ed. He pro-
fessed inability to identify his rivals.
