AMONG the school regulations OF
Brooklyn is one requiring that all pu-
pills shall be vaccinated and the school
principal refused to admit two pupils
for failure to comply with the regula-
ton. Suit was brought to compel him
TO admit them and was carried up tc
the supreme court Of the state. Judge
Bartlett rendered a decision in favor
of the principal. This will probably
stand as the law of the land and il
certainly in accord with good public
policy. The right OF a community e
protect itself from contagious diseases
is unquestioned and any reasonabl,
precaution it may take for that pur
pose must not be tri1ed with.

JUST what little Nicaragua is aiming
at in apparently inviting the United
States and Great Britain to knock the
chip off her shoulder does not appear
on the surface of her arrest of Ameri-
can and British residents. 1t is said
that if these foreigners are executed or
driven out of the country their prop
erty will go to Nicaraguan officials, and
this is alleged to be the motive of the
arbitrary arrests. But the explanation
sounds far-fetched.

Lares to be proceeding without any
suspicion on the part of the British.
A writer in the London Times says of
The prediction. 1T derives, of course,
no authority from the Veda = Nor
have we, after some inquiry, been able
to discover u reference to it in any text
belonging to the classical San
skirt Eperiod. The earliest authentic
notice has been traced no further
back than the Rewa. Khunea, a local
sacred poem in honor of the Narbada-
Sixty years ago Sir Henry Sleeman
mentioned it in his journal as
current in the Narbada region of the
Central Provinces About the year
1850 Sir Monier Monier- Williams heard
good deal concerning it from the
Brahmins of Western India at Alma
dabad. The change was to take place
in 1851 of the Samvat era, correspond
1S94-'05 of our era.
The ceremonial cy Gle of the him
docs is one of twelve years, and the
bathing festivals on the Gauges have
value. At the last of these cyclic an
niversaries the devotion of the popu-
lace was stimulated by the rumor that
they had better take advantage of it
lest the sanctity of the Gauges should
depart before the next occasion ar
rived. Unprecedented multitudes
focked to the bathing places along its
banks, and the demonstration was
considered of sufficient Importance to
find its way into the official record of
the period.
In Hungary it is the custom for the

INDIA Disturbed by an Old PROPHECY
Concerning the Gauges.
The ancient prophecy to which ref
erence has been made more than once,
that the sanctity of the River Gauges
will pass to the Narbada in 1s94-95,
has been quoted very widely by the
Indian press, and is said to be creating
more uneasiness than the mango
smearing. 1t appears that, what with
Indignation meetings in every part of
the country to protest against the
sacrifice of Indian finance TO the
Manchester vote, and murderous feuds
of the Mohammedans and Hindoos
the criminal trials for Islander which
have sprung out of missionary mis-
representations on the opium ques-
ton, and the demand for the public
prosecution of leading missionary
journal for insulting native religious
beliefs, wave of unrest is again
passing over India.

The effect of enacting this bill would he
first, to require two witnesses to willis Of

would abolish homeopathic Wills which IS
also unadvisable and thirdly. IL would re-

thor of this bill is to reduce the number of
witnesses from three TO two, as to Wills az
fecting real estate, which would be a desir
able change, 1t would be better to saw SO
expressly, and confine the legislation to that
point. Furthermore, the phrase and shall

tie further than this, and In my Judgment
proposes an innovation OF more than doubt

tary Condition.
The Commissioners today received the re-
port OF the analysis OF the water and IN.
spection OF the bathing beach from Health
oincer Hammett The inspection Of the
bathing beach and Its surroundings was
made by c. II. WEIGH and O. a. Sanders
OF the sanitary department through orders
from the health officer from three different
points Their report to Health Officer Ham
NETT reads as follows,
An Inspection has been made of the
inlet OF the Potomae river south of the
Washington monument. known as the tidal
reservoir and the bathing beach, situated
on Its northeast shore. The area is about
one-third OF a mile square, and It is SUBJ
jected to an ebb and flow tide Of four and
half feet twice every twenty-four hours
through the channel at the south.
This basin is bounded on the east by a
reclaimed fat and along the entire west
line Of the fiat lies the old canal, into which
the nth street sewer empties The fat
IS now In process of filling, which is done
by pumping material from the bottom OF
the river and distributing IT over the fiat
through pipes. the solid matter settling
ana the water draining off through sluice-
ways. three Of which empty into the reser-
voir. The location of this pumping station
Is east OF the point where the old canal
containing sewerage, empties into the river,
ana II Is possible that some of the foul
water Is taken up by the pumpage and
conducted as herein described into the
basin containing the bathing beach. Aside
from this We were unable 10 discover any,
thing that would In any way contaminate
the water of the beach TO such an extent
as 10 be prejuoicial to the health of the
pathers. 1t is possible that some of the
sewerage may be brought In with the tide.
Samples of the water have been taken
from the reservoir for analysis at different
points. one Immediately at the beach, an
other about where the water from the three
sluiceways is concentrated in it's passage
from the west TO the east basin through a
channel about forty feet in width at low
tide, and another from beneath one Of the
sluiceways, the result of which is append
ed" The following is the analysis of the
water from the bathing beach, taken FROM
three different points:
Parts per million-Solid, l78; free am
monia, IS; albumlnoid ammonia, "a; chlo-
rine, 80; oxygen consumed, Ga: nitricts, .O4.
III Is the opinion OF Inspector }. ID. Hird
that such water would not be injurious
for bathing purposes"
