AN INTERVIEWING CRITICISM.

The Detroit Board of Education has mayor, to introduce into the schools of that city the Bible Readings" com This action brought out from Rabbi Grossmann of Detroit criticism which is both interesting and impressive The so-called text book he says, is either intended simply as a reader with in cidental teaching of morals, or it Is an attempt to teach religion. He con- denns 1t from either view. It is clear, he says, that collection of paragraphs without logical continuity is a scrap book and not textbook People can not get religion by reading the Bible, and how, it is asked, can they get it by reading a, scrap book? If the object is the teaching of religion, the Rabbi con- tinues something more is needed than a scrap book of the Bible, however
 
 may be in it's construction To be prop erly taught the subject of religion must be developed for children just as much as any other branch of study. Of it. self, Mr Grossmann continues, the 'Bi- ble Readings will not. teach morality as effectually as the teachers now in culcate the best traits of character and the purest habits of life, and this con stitutes "as much religious instruction in the schools as can well be afforded under present conditions" Church truces are commendable, the Rabbi concludes but 'the Board of Education is not a clearing house for the sects; it has the supervision of a great system of educational effort, and it has achieved enough if it succeeds in bring ing this school system to operate smoothly, expeditiously and efficiently" /"

RAILROAD PROGRESS.

Probably few people at the present time can realize what @ quaint and curious line the Liverpool and Manch- ester Railway was in it's early days, or how totally different were all It's ap- pointments from those to which we are now accustomed. Yet travellers were vastly pleased with it, and thought that to pay five or six shillings to go thirty miles in an hour and half was the perfectioin of cheapness and speed. They went into ecstasies about the de- lights of juggling along over jarring stone block road, in compartments about as commodious as our London fourwheeled cabs, or in semi-open chars a-banc, where they became blinded with sparks and ran considerable risk of being set on fire. Every time the train stopped the passengers were bumped against each other, screw cou plings being unknown till 1885; but they seem to have borne 1t all complacently The first-class vehicles were painted yellow, and bore such names as Queen Adelaide, Marquis of Stafford, Treasurer and Despatch. Being usually eighteen feet long, upon a base of only six feet, they pitched up and down consider ably as they ran, To the second-clas coaches there were light roofs or awn- ings, but often no sides and no doors; the color of these airy conveyances was blue or pink. About two and a half tons was the average weight of all the coaches some more, some less, but all were constructed, in the lightest and weakest manner, by builders who had by no means grasped the difference in the working conditions between road and rail traction. The guard sat on the roof of the last coach, or of one fitted with a brake and was exposed to rain and snow, heat and cold, dust and sparks in barbarous manner. This mode of treating man so important to the safety of the train was usual on most Hines in this country till 1850, and was but one of the many ways in which the early railway men copied the stage coach system without cosidering how essentially different it was. The first class were inside" passengers. The second were outsiders. "who must ex- pect @ taste of bad weather. The third Imere inconsEderable "stage-wagon" people, who were contemptuously httch- ed on anyhow. Even as late as the sev- enties might be seen an inscription over the gateway of an important Lon don terminus: Entrance for horses, dogs, and third-class passengers. "

AnARmoNLoUs CONTENTION.

The Republican city convention last evening was very harmonious meet ing. There was no contest over the nominations for Mayor, Auditor, City Clerk, City Sheriff and Treasurer. All the nominees for these places received the unusual compliment of nomination through the secretary of the conven- tion. There was some difference of opinion about nominees for the com missionerships, but there was no bitter ness apparent and the selections were made with little delay and friction.
 All the nominees, Messrs, Earns worth, Brown, Lyon, Bunce, Mersick, Aules, Smith and Kegelmeyer, are good Republicans and good citizens. Messrs. Brown, Lyon and Bunce are already in office and have well earned the hearty endorsement given them by the conven- tion. The ticket as 8 whole is a strong one. and will undoubtedly receive hearty and efficient Republican support.

FIGHT WITH A WILD BOAR.

once had an encounter with an old berraco, or wild boar and I think it was about the narrowest escape I ever made with my life. Indeed, had it not been for the assistance of my freinds, this sketch would not have been writ ten.
 The wild boar of the Ianos are a much-coveted game and are greatly sought by the hunters. They are noth- ing but the common hog run wild, in conseqence of no attention being be- slowed upon their breeding in the cat tle-farms. In the swamps they find the choicest nourishment-various kinds of roots, sweet herbs, cells, snakes, and reed and mire-and, as natural result, they have increased with such marvel ous rapidity that ar@this time their nu- mber is truly incredible. In the lands of Fl Frio alone they amount to fully fifty thousand, and there are hundreds of acres that have been plowed up com pletely by their nasal plowshares. Many miles of the choicest pasture have been rendered not only useless, but danger ous for the passage of horses at a faster pace than a walk.
 These hogs render one important ser- vice to the country which people do not forget. They are such unsuitable de- yourers of snakes that they contribute greatly lessen their number in the neighborhood. The tables are turned when, in wallowing in the mire, they come in range of the fangs of the dreaded culebras de aqua, or anaconda The first thing the hog knows, his

POSTAL SAYINGS BANKS.

Many think that postal savings banks are needed in this country, and they point to the experience of France, Eng land. Belgium, Sweden, Holland, Rus sia, Austria, Hungary Canada and Australia with such banks. In all these countries the banks are said to work well, and especially in England In the United Kingdom deposits are now received at Il, 900 postoffices from g a. m. to 6 p. m. The depositor receives from the postmaster passbook, in which are recorded the deposits and withdrawals. Any sum from 25 cents up to S25O may be deposited in one year and interest is paid on any sum that Is a multiple of s5 and is compounded. Withdrawals may be speedily effected, by telegraph or otherwise. A depositor may, if he chooses, have his accumu- lated deposits invested in government bonds Small savings may be made by the puTCHdSe Ol pOSldSt SIdIllpS, WHICH, when they reach a certain amount, are recorded as deposits. There are 5000 schools in which the children are en- couraged to save through the machin- cry Of the postofTice. a clerk coming to the school at intervals to receive the stamps and furnish passbooks. The aggregate deposits in postal savings banks at the end of 1893 was $402, 800 900, the years increase being S23, 800 000 Besides this, 69, ,131 depositors held $31,- 500, 900 of government bonds. One out of every seven persons in England is now a depositor in the postal banks. In 1893 there were 9,S38,19S deposits made, aggregating s12S, ,O0O 900, and withdrawals aggregated $10S. .5OO, ,00O.
 Various public officials have at times urged upon congress the idea of utiI- izing the postoffices for the accumula- ton as well as the transmission of money, insisting upon its utility in the agricultural districts, but so far con- gress has not deemed the matter ripe for action.

 In Connecticut this work is carried on in Wesleyan University and the Storrs Experiment Station, which lat ter also receives the state grant of $1, 800. In other states and cities throughout the United States it is car ried on in cooperation with phi1an- thropic organizations such as the As sociation of the Improvement of the Poor in New York City, the Hull House in Chicago, and various universities, agricultural colleges and institutes. In this way the investigations extend not only among all classes, as students, professional men, wage earners, and the poor in congested sections of the great cities and negroes in the black belt, but they cover the entire country.
 The results are used for the better nutrition of the people, and are sent to Washington and widely distributed for the information and aid of all the peo- pie. A large amount of work is being done in a systematic way and made valuable to the public at large.

FASHION NOTES.
Business-Like Tabs.

About two seasons ago there was a fad for strap trimmings, which, but
 toned and buckled, were purely orna- mental, and the deceitfulness of these elaborations hastened their end, for it did seem absurd to use many practica- ble fastenings that didn't fasten any thing. Now that the field is well clear ed of them, there is a run upon tab finishings, particularly tailor-mades. The artist presents model of this sort

 There is promise for the winter of considerable favor for fur-lined gar ments. Such usually appear warmer than garments that are furred on the outside, but they are often little clumsy, and will cost about as much as does the outside inexpensive fur, because of late years there has been a fad for lining with costly peltry. The advantage about a fur-l lined garment is that you can renew the lining, put in patches and so on, without injuring the looks of the whole. Thus you are all most sure to have two or three years wear from 1t, something not so likely to occur with an outside fur. Sable is all ways fashionable. Prejudice against 1t as ''an old ladies' fur" is being forgot ten. The modern sable is of softer color and surface than that we remem- Der as worn by our grandmammas- how many years ago did you say? But you don't look it! Sable is as expen- sive as any fur and rewards the pur- chaser with faithful service It is not suitable for jacket cut, but loks best in capes. FLORETTF,.

Some months ago a man in Arapahoe county, Colorado, was convicted of be- ing an accessory to a highway robbery, a woman riding with him in his wagon against the attack of highwayman who took the woman's jewelry. He was sentenced to two years imprison- ment, but got out of jail recently on reversal of the Judgment by the Court of Appeals. The higher court declared that the law does not require a person to come to the aid of another if by so doing his life would be placed in jeop- ardy.

Dr. Hitler won Gaertringen has identi fled the city on the slopes Of Mesa Vouno as the ancient Thera, ana the remains on the seashore near the mod ern town as those of the city of Oea. The metropolis in the valley between Mesa Vuono and the next hill has been explored, and in the archaic tombs great deal of pottery and many terra cotta figurines have been found. Some fine vases belonging to the Theraean style are among the finds, and the small number of Theaean inscriptions has now been brought up to 650.

France, England aud tho UnitoA States
Experience These stumbling Hooks.
The situation In Washington just now
calls to mind the legislative deadlock
In England during the last parliament,
when the house of commons sent up
measure after measure, only to be met
by the hopelessly large tory opposition,
In the house Of lords says the Review
of Reviews, Affairs have now reached
the pass In England where the liberal
party can never hope to enact an I'M
portant law except by means of threats
which would make the house OF lords
feel Its own existence to be In danger
AT the moment when these words are
written the long-gTowing divergence Of
sentiment between the French senate
and chamber of deputies has resulted
In very critical and stubborn locking
of horns. In France the senate repre-
sents moderate republcanlsm Of the
steady, conservative sort. The cham
Der of deputies has been growing even
more radical and sociallstiC until at
length a radical majority has found Its
way to the front in a radical cabinet
under Prime Minister Bourgeois This
cabinet has taken kind Of action re-
spectlng the investigation of the south
ern railway scandals that meets with
the disapproval of the senate. Repeat
ed votes have shown the senate's lack
of confidence in the ministry. In ac-
cordance with the theory Of the French
government, and in accordance with
all former presidents, the cabinet
should have resigned. But, inasmuch
as the chamber Of deputies has voted
as strongly in favor Of the Bourgeois
policy as the senate has voted against
1t, Premier Bourgeois informs Presi-
dent Faure that he Is satisfied with the
approval of the deputies and proposes
to ignore the senate. The situation is
the most peculiar and in some regards
the most dangerous one that has arisen
in the practical working Of the French
constitution since the present republic
was founded a quarter of a century
ago. Thus everything in the nature of
a serious legislative and political strain
that has occurred in the three great
governments of England,
France and the United States within
the past year or two has grown chiefly
out of the wide difference Of character
and sentiment between the two halves
Of bicameral legislative system. In
the one real question of inter-
nal constitutional reform, upon which
all other reforms must wait, is that Of
a complete recasting of the house Of
lords. In France and the United States
the principal remedy for the present
strains and deadlocks must be found in
the better education of public opinion.
