eaten In some places, particularly on
the Jersey coast, by fishermen. It is
skinned before cooking. 1t is not gen.

otlce- Speaking UPON this subject
Captain Skinner, the pension agent
at PIttsOurg. SAYS: =. This abuse has
grown 10 such proportions that l have
been obliged to pay as much as three
dollars IN one month on account OF
such deficient postage. The fault is
not with the pensioners who mail their
own vouchers, because single letter
stamp Is always sufficient for the
transmission of single voucher, but
with certain magistrates and claim
agents who are in the habit of trans
mltting each quarter large package
OF vouchers with single postage
stamp thereon, evidently expecting
that the pension agent will pay the
deficient postage rather than delay
payment to the pensioners. We have
sought to correct these petty abuses by
saving the envelopes and returning
them to the senders thereof, but this
course has had little effect in stopping
what might be called "a system OF
petty swindling, because we are in
formed that many of these magistrates
collect two cents for postage from
every pensioner whose voucher they
execute and then fail to use such
stamps for the purpose intended. In
view, therefore, of this recent order
from the pension bureau at Washing
ton, l trust that all pensioners and
magistrates in the district may pay
close attention to this matter of postage
In the future. II they do not they
may expect great delay in transmission
OF checks, because all such packages
deficient in postage will surely go to
the dead letter Office"

TIE kindergarten not q Fad.

4 race that is said TO take its pleas
ures szdly-a branch OF which. indeed
BY inheritance, IS inclined to look up
On al amusement as sinful-such a
race very naturally produces many
minds that cannot help suspecting
the utility CT an institution like the
kindergarten, which to 4 casual OBJ
server seem merely organized pleasure.
Tnls kind of observer, seeing for the
first time kindergarten .'in full play"
naturally asks himself, can anything
so delightful really be part of grave,
scientific system of education, or is it
merely pretty way of keeping chill
dren out of mischief?
That it is a thoroughly accredited,
successful, scientific and rapidly
spreading educational device, and no
mere fad of the moment, seems to be
an established fact, as may be gath
cred from inquiry among the leaders
OF education everywhere in America,
and from all the teachers who, wheth-
er klndergartners or not, have come
into contact with the system.-Cen-

Another Compulsory Law.

The effect of the new factory law
which is now in effect, will be far
from being an unadulterated benefit.
1t belongs to the class of compulsory
laws, which however good their object
may be, are necessarily attended with
a good deal OF harm. The factory
law, as a specimen of compulsory leg
islation, is companion piece TO the
educational law that is intended to
compel all the children of the state to
60 10 school.
There are thousands of youths in
the state under sixteen years of age,
employed in mills, factories and shops,
who, by the terms of this law, will be
compelled to stop work and become
attendants at school. The general
effect may be beneficial, although that
is problematical, but such an inhexi-
bic rule is likely to work hardship in
many cases where the labor of boys
of fifteen and sixteen is helpful to de-
pendent parents. 1t is doubtful wheth
er the little schooling forced upon re-
luctant boys of that age will compen-
safe for the loss OF wages brought a.
bout by this compulsory interference.
That children of tender age should
not be put to daily labor cannot be
questioned, and it is equally unques-
tionable that the children of the State
should have the advantage of the pub
lie schools, but it is far from being
certain that the interests of the rising
generation can be most effectually
secured by compulsory means

Will Forfeit Leases.

CONSERVATION prevails among the
saloon and hotel keepers of West
Mahanoy township, Schuylkill county,
owing to a circular letter which each
of them received Monday, from the
board Of city trusts of Philadelphia.
There are twenty licensed saloons in
the township, and nineteen of them
are located on the lands Of the Girard
estate. The letter in question is terse,
but positive notice to them that, if
they shall continue to sell liquor after
the end of the current license year,
they will forfeit their leases and rend-
er themselves liable to ejectment.
The leases under which they hold
possession contain a clause prohibit
ing the sale Of liquor on the ground
OF the Girard estate, but the clause
has been violated with impunity.
