The Rosebery cabinet has resigned
and England is all excitement. 1t is
funny how they do things over there.
The opposition proposed to reduce the
salary of the War Secretary one hun
dred pounds, because he declined to let
the House of Commons know the guam
tity Of reserve ammunition at command
of the War Department in case of an
emergency. The proposition was
adopted, and the War Secretary, Mr..
Campbell Bannerman, Immediately re-
signed. Now the cabinet resigns and
q dissolution of Parliament will result.
Such trifing occurrence as the re-
fusal of government officer to let the
public know the secrets of his depart
ment would not cause any such excite
ment here. II objections should be
made to his accounts or his balances, he
would laugh at them, and tell his ques-
tioners to mind their businiss.

SH0OL MISTRESS PERRY AND THE
"NATURAL SCIENCES"

A good many people are enquiring
why it was that the School Board did
not take more notice to the request of
Edwin Darling in behalf of parents
and pupils for the retention of Miss
Kate d. Perry as school teacher.
Some of Mr.. Darling's remarks before
the Board were caustic and sarcastic,
and are worth reproducing. Among
other things he said: 1T was about
four Or five days befccfre The committee
meeting that Miss Perry was asked for
her resignation by Superintendent
Fisher. Naturally she was surprised
Snd 10 were we all, for Miss Perry had
taught in the schools Of this city for
years past and no fault had ever been
found with her before. When I asked
Superintendent Fisher the reason for
deposing her, he replied because she
was not up in the natural sciences.
Now had no occasion, in fact never
knew whether she taught the high or
natural sciences, but informally Wis
tied her room one afternoon. To my
surprise I found she had quite q col
lection of ferns, grasses, flowers,
squsshes, string beans, butterflies de-
veloped as well as in embryo in the
cocoon and I must say the finest dis
play Of pollywogs / ever saw. Next I
passed into the room Of Miss Martin
who also had collection Of ferns,
grasses, flowers, etc., but the only
thing she could beat Miss Perry on
was string beans. think that speaks
pretty we'll for Miss Perry's deep in
terest in natural sciences.
"But beyond this defy any person
TO bring even.t slightest accusation
against Miss Perry either as q Chris
tian lady or as competent teacher.
She is now in the prime Of life and by
her kindly ways and gracious qualities
wins not only the affection Of her pres.
ent pupils but retains the esteem oi
former ones, who received their prepa
ratory training at her hands and Il
whom school life is now only memory
OF the past. The best tribute I can ado
was recently paid by former teacher
now q matron anxious to have he
child pass through the Bro adwa,
school, that there never was q bette
teacher in the schools Of Pawtucke
than Miss Perry

The proposed trial in Kentucky be-
fore jury of twelve women OF breach
of promise case brought by a man
against woman can result, we fear, in
one way only-a verdict for the defen-
dant. The fair sex has been privileged
30 long to say yes or no to the question
prompted by Cupid and to change its
mind afterwards, that jury OF women
cannot be expected to treat the claim of
the disappointed Kentucky gentleman
seriously. He must be brash litigant
to think that a woman ought to have
married him against her will.
