Kipiing's View of 10.

"The Englishman," said Mr.. Kip
ling, twill die for liberty, but he doesn't
care straw for equality. The French
man, on the other hand, doesn't really
know what liberty means, but he must

equality, and goes in heart and soul
for fraternity. This Is really the bano
of the American nation; 90 long as o

THE question Of introducing the
study Of stenography into the public
schools has been raised in Boston by
some educational leaders. It will
seem TO most people, the st. Louis Re-
public says, that the list of studies in
cluded in the curriculum of the public
schools is at presest almost too long
for the average pupil, and the number
OF "fads" is certainly sufficiently large.
From the practical point Of view 1t
would provo advantageous, since its
use has become so common In clerical
work. But education in the public
schools Is not reserved for q class It
is meant TO be general, not special.

ONE Of the latest and most ingenious
mechanical musical Instruments in
vented Is an automatic banjo which
does everything that human fingers
can do to produce tuneful melody.
The most difficult music can be played
with the same effect, both in time and
harmony, as performed by professional
banjoists. Any stringed instrument
that is played with the fingers can be
adjusted to this automaton.
