The High ScIl00I.

We do not deem it necessary now
to defend the High School. Our glo.
rious free school system has not
reached its present advancement with.
out fierce opposition, and no part Of it
excited so violent a contest as the
establishment OF High Schools, but in
almost every city Of our country these
schools, strengthened by circulation,
stand today the cap stone of the sys-
tenn, 80 strong in public appreciation
that none dare assail them. All who
carefully study our present civilization
and the relations of our schools to
that civilization, admit the necessity
OF the Public High School.
Fifty years ago, an elementary
knowledge of reading, writing, and
arithmetic was all the common citizen
needed. He had very little use for
the exercise OF any but the most ele-
mentsry powers of mind But in that
period, the railroad, the telegraph
and the newspaper have carried the
city into the country, and 80 multi
piled the complex relations OF society
as to require the man OF today to fill
larger measure mentally than did
our fathers. Indeed, the dominion Of
mind over matter has SO clearly estab
lished its right to control, that the
same principles which led our fathers
to establish school for the three RS
in their development, now demand a
broad highway for liberal culture.
The High School is not College OF
q University. 1t does not propose to
take the pupils through an exhaustive
linguistic and scientific course oil
study, The average age of those en-
tering the High School is about four.
teen years. They are required to pass
satisfactory examination in reading
spelling, arithmetic, geography, gram
mar, and United States history. Il
can not reasonably be expected that
four years of study will make univer
sity scholars of these same pupils
But we may confidently expect that
they shall have learned how to st,tdu
and that they shall have become &C
quainted with the fundamental prin
ciples OF the different branches taught
and, with slight modification of oul
course of study, will b. prepared tc
enter most of the colleges, or, (wbat
is vastly more important to a large
majority,) ito begin life with such
general knowledge, and with abilities
and habits Of thous ht so trained that
they shall be impeled towards all
that is high and useful. and be pro
tected from the baseness OF igno
rance"
We have here presented three
courses of study in the High School
viz ; English and Latin, English and
German, and Short English Course
The first two require four years fol
completion, the last but three years
This, it is believed, will satisfy as well

4 FRIVOLOUS AND SELFISH BIRD.
Immoral Life and Eviction of Its Hosts "a
Fellow Nestlinxs. So

Immoral Life and Eviction of Its Hosts sd
Fellow Nestlings. s
a popular fallacy tells us that q
cuckoo lays eggs in another birds nest.
She does not She lays eight eggs on
the ground. The eggs are in size, col
or, spots and shape in accordance with
the information obtained, say, in Leigh
woods: Out of the eight eggs five or
six would closely resemble the hedge
sparow's The other two might be
those Of titlark, wren or linnet.
Her male friends--about three or four
to each lady-now come forward, Sc
lect each an egg and carry it in its
mouth to the nest Of the, prearranged
foster mother. Only one cuckoo egg is
placed in one nest. If he finds a cuckoo
has preceded him on the same errand,
he seeks another cradle, knowing in a
moment, amid all the eggs present, the
cuckoo pedigree.
The deluded mother matches the in
truder with her own brood, and the in
terloper, having the faculty of being
Matched sooner than the others, is Of
course the first to come out Of his shell.
He manages to wriggle underneath his
brothers and sisters and presents them
as heave offering to the expectant ro-
dents, mice, rats, stoats and what not,
and within 10 hours of his existence is
the supreme occupier Of the nest. He
, keeps his black mouth wide open contin-
ually, which the father and mother
OF the departed chickens as constantly
fill until his body is too big for his
home, and he departs therefrom for
ever.
The cuckoo leaves the last week of
July. He is restless being, like the
soul of John Brown, always marching
on. After leaving Europe he begins in
the north of Africa and ends at the Cape
of Good Hope, whence he returns to
Europe in the spring. Why does he go
away and why come back? Food-the
, food he loves-the hairy caterpillar. He
will eat other grubs, but these are his
hourly bread.
! It has been estimated in round num-
bers that out of every 100 hairy cater
pillars that wriggle into life 90 are de-
voured by cuckoos. Everywhere nature
| is careful to maintain her balance The
cuckoo keeps down the millions of bill
lions Of hairy caterpillars and preserves
our cornfelds from being eaten up by
hedge sparrows The cuckoo is born
conservative, and as long as he lives re-
turns annually to the neighborhood of
his birth. Western (England) Press.

colt was leading and running easily.
He simply kept it up and romped past
the wire an easy winner BY four or five
lengths. After all the excitement Of the
day felt very much fatigued and start
ed to return to the hotel.
In leaving the stand noticed Mr.. H.
and another gentleman talking very
earnestly together. They were separated
from the crowd. and their conversation
was animated. The old feverish curiosi-
ty Of the morning again assailed me,
and very soon was within earshot. I
must have arrived just in time, for /
heard Mr.. H. say:
"Why, I knew all about it several
days ago. knew that if I made the
matter public there would be more or
less scandal, so determined to give
Mr.. D. a very strong hint, which he
has been sensible enough to take No
wonder the colt won all his races last
year, carrying weight as a 2-year-old
when he really was 3-year-old. Well,
the Whirlwind will never start again.

matter I turned to leave the track, when
suddenly man, running very fast,

THE ZODlACAL LIGHT,

A Phenomenon In Nature Commonly
known as ''the Sun Drawing Water"
Sometimes in the evening, some little
time before and during twilight, and
sometimes-though rarer-before and
during sunrise, close observer may de-
tect peculiar, fanlike streams of darker
and lighter shading across the sky.
These streaks, of which the palmer ones
may number from four to six, together
form triangle, with its base on the
horizon and extending out at varying
attitudes.
This appearance still holds rank as an
unexplained phenomenon in nature. It
occurs only occasionally. There may be
fine illustration on a given evening,
and while there may be week Of clear
sunsets succeeding not a trace Of the
streaks will be visible.
From this it would seem that par
ticular atmospheric condition must be
one of the factors in it's production.
The assumption would be supported by
numerous analogies not necessary to
enumerate. In the proper atmosphere,
then, let it be assumed that the streaks
are due to alternate lines Of shade and
light.
Now, let something to some extent
obstruct the rays Of the sun which has
set either an impediment in the distant
landscape or an unseen cloud, the COM
bination at the proper angle with the
observer 8 vision, and it is probable that
he may approach solution of the long
standing puzzle.
The fanlike appearance is such for the
same reason that the lines in a brick
wall leading away from the observer
seem to focalize to a center, as do also
railway tracks seemingly come together
in the distance. These zodiacal lines
are undoubtedly parallels, as are lines Of
cloud streaks that to our vision seem to
point to common starting point. It
is more than probable that this modest
and unobtrusive streaking Of the clear
evening sky has been unsolved because
Of its very simplicity. It is probably
only modification Of what is common
" known as t'the sun drawing water,

Is the chewing gum habit purely

Hardly had the cars started than the

and divide with the children, but as
surely the habit has outgrown feminine
ty when 16 men out OF a total Of 30 in
