THE FALL OF PRICES. IS
BY Soetbeer's tables it appears that be- IS

fall there everywhere else in IS
Europe has been very much more than IS
in the same proportion, undoubtedly for IS
1S94-'5 exceeding 80 per cent. IS
In England, by the Economist tables, IS
the fall of prices from 1878 to 1898 was 30 IS
per cent, and the last two years have IS
witnessed much greater fall in proper IS
ton. Is

State Appropriations. A /.

So much has been said, and is still
being said, about the appropriations
made by the last legislature, and
Auditor Nipple has been 50 persist
emily quoted as authority for the
statement that this years bill is but
$S, 900 less than that Of two years ago,
that we have in this issue been at
pains to carefully compile the levies
for the two biennial periods. A month
ago we published a statement which
has been widely copied, that the ap-
preparations of '93 exceeded those of
'95 by $4,000. That statement was
made from unofficial data. The pres
ent statement is made from the laws
and has been carefully verified and
proven. The exact excess of 1893 over
the appropriations made for 1855 is
500, 1873 .SS, or exclusive of the worlds
fair appropriation, $50, ,633.SS. 1t is
very doubtful if Auditor Nipple ever
made the eight thousand dollar"
statement attributed to him, but il he
did he was certainly in error. This
statement must settle the controversy
with all people and papers who accept
facts and desire to know and publish
only the truth. Gary Inter State.

Plant Growth In Winter.

Plant life Is not dormant during the
winter when the thermometer is below
freezing point, rs any observer of vc9cta-
ton in winter may note for himself Tho
Towering buds of the rcd maple, the dog
woods, willows and many other plants
scarcely disccrniblc in the axis Mt the fall
of tho leaf, become SO largo by spring rs to
be ready to hurst on "a moments notice, {"
and this though the thermometer may
have been continuously near zero. Obscrv-
crs in the Alpine regions of Europe have
noted that gcntians and similar plants
will grow and even flower under the
snow which has enycloped them the whole
winter through, thawing out by their own
informal heat little chambers in the pro-
tecting snow. And the samc is recorded OF
the American snow plant, the Sierra Ne
vada's Sarcodcc sanguinca. 1t is often
found in full bloom when the snow mclts
away from 1t and indeed derives it's COM
mon name from this fact. 1t would thus
appear that before the laws which deter
mine tho behavior of plants can DO fully
developed the physiological conditions Of
plant life will have TO bc more carefully
studied and perhaps moro weight given to
the plants own internal powers than the
mere conditions OF environment Indie

TIE TEACHER cHewED GUM.
Other Methods Hnd Failed to Break Up
an Epidemic, Among tho Pupils.


an Er'demLc Among tho Pupils.
Last winter West Side grammar school
suffered an epidemic Of gum chewing.
The disease manifested itself In mild form
ut first, and the teachers thought they had
stamped II out by the time honored method
of compelling tho children to throw the
gum out of tho window Just rs the teach-
ers began to congratulate themselves on
their success tho disease all at onoe broke
out again In violent form. It is compare
lively easy to deal with one culprit, but
when there arc 35 lawbrcakers among 40
pupils the situation becomes delicate and
requires high degree Of diplomacy. Some
OF the teachers tried dcspotisn, with moth
ing TO back it up, others ridicule and
sarcasm, another arbitration With tho
lnttcr tho compromise consisted in giving
permission to leave tho gum in tho cloak
room. So each girl put her hat on her
own particular hook and stuck her gum
on tho wall above it, and her rights were
respected.
But ono day ono of the boys who was
sent to stand IN the cloakroom made u
collection of wads of gum, and tho girls
were bcreft. Aftcr that thoy brought their
gum into the schoolroom and stuck it on
the ink wells. Having the tempting NOR
sells under their eyes all day long was too
ihuNi ~ " EcSiSVSti, uuu UQCy re-
lapsed into u moro hopeless state than be-
fore. In another room the gum chewing
had gone On uninterruptedly for u couple
of weeks, tho teacher apparently taking
no notice OF it. This was all tho more as
tonishing because she was strict disciple
marian.
One morning when tho class was called
TO order the teacher WINS sitting ON tho
platform as usual, but with the absent
minded, vacuous expression Characteristic
of the confirmed gum chewcr on her face
She was chewing gum with variations
all tho variations she had seen in the
sehoolroom. She kept this up tho whole
day, laying her gum aside with sigh Of
regret when she had to hear class rccite
and putting 1t into her mouth again as
soon rs the lesson was finished Not a
word was said about 1t. The pupils looked
at each other in silent amuzcmcnt, but
never smiled. AT noon they discussed tho
matter among themselves. In the after
noon some of them appeared without their
gum. They watched the teacher, and it
gradually dawnod upon them that she was
giving them an object lesson Did they
look like thatp The next morning there
was no gum IN the schoolroom, but tho
teacher asked the pupils to spare her as
much as possible from talking-her laws
