In what I have seen Of English
home life it has seemed to me that
the English father is on terms Of a
closer acquaintanceship with his
daughter than is tho American
father. This may be due to the fact
that the American father is much
more occupied with his business,
and also to the additional fact that
the American daughter has more Of
self reliance in her disposition,
which renders her to q certain ex
tent more independent and capable
Of looking after her own interests.
In q certain sense, especially as re-
CARDS monetary and matrimonial
matters, it might be said that the
English father acts for his daughter,
while the American father allows
her to act for herself. Those who
have made a study of the American
girl can have little doubt that this
independence is good for her in both
a mental and moral sense, though it
does not follow that the same course
of treatment would be good for the
English girl.-Philadelphia Times.

The recent discovery Of Prof. Roat,

AZ The recent discovery OF Prof. hoat'
gen, professor Of physics in the
University of Wurzburg, Bavaria,
which it is believed is destined 10 re-
volutionize photography, is the latest
topic to claim the attention Of SCENT
lists in Europe and America. BY the
Rontgen discovery, pictures may be
taken of the interior Of solid substan-
ces. The skull of a man, the bones
of his feet and hands. In fact, his en-
tire skeleton may be photographed
by the Rontgen process, showing
how one would look with the flesh off
his bones. Flaws and inequalities in
the heart of minerals may be detect
ed, it is claimed. by this remarkable
process of photography and still the
discovery is in its infancy, with great
er possibilities before it. Prof. Ront-
gen recently sent to Prof. Schuster,
Of Owens college, Manchester, Eng
land a photograph taken by the new
process. The picture shows a com:
plete reproduction of a compass
needle with the division into degrees
Of the circle over which the needle is
placed. The needle, before being
photographed. was placed inside a
IN. Il box. As flesh, skin and cartilage
are more transparent than bone. the
photograph of ii hand gives perfect
outline Of the bones Of the hand and
fingers. the outline of the flesh being
but very family discernible. In an
article contributed to the English
Medical Journal by Prof. Schuster,
the writer says in speaking of Prof.
Rontgen's discovery, that the photo
graphs obtained are in the nature of
shadows, and their great sharpness is
itself testimony that the new radiat-
ion must be propag gated in strict lines.
The radiation passes i'll straight lines
easily through paper, cardboard or
woou, and produces Photographic ef-
fects after having passed through
two complete packs IF playing cards.
The photograph may be taken in the
ordinary light of day if the plate. is
kept in its dark slide, which will
completely cut off all ordinary rays,
and yet transmit the new radiation.
Under law passed by the last leg
islature, upon written application to
the State high school board, that
body is required to grant the right to
take the examinations given by said
Board in the schools under it's super
vision 10 the common district schools.
The county superintendent, in such
cases. holds the same relation to the
board..as the principal or s;lperintend-
ent OF the schools under the supervis-
ion of the board, and he is required to
establish regular and orderly course
of study that shall fully meet the re-
quirements of said examinations.
The superintendent shall have the
power to appoint assistants necessary
to have charge of these examinations,
not to exceed one for each four town
ships.-Northfeld News.

 Thomas Phelan.

KANsAa CrrY, Sept. 17.-According to local paper, the arrest of Tynan and Kearney, the dynamite conspirators, IS a yerifcation of the statements made years ago by Captain Thomas Phelan of this city, that the two noted prisoners were members of an Irish dynamite propaganda which had headquarters Ill this country.
 Captain Phelan, was at that time city official in Kansas City. He went to New York at the time Of Fenian ex- citement and finally to Europe i'll search of information relative to the movement of the men connected with the plots existing He became acquainted with Kesrney and to him Kearney told of his intention to place an internal machine on the Atlantic steam CT Queen, set to explode two hours after the steamer should reach Liverpool. The giving away of Kearney's name and the im piled charge of treason against Rosaa was what caused the attempted assassin ation Of Phelan in New York.

TEE LAORADAs EXPEDITION.
A Spanish Spy Was on the Ship. but Is
 Afraid to Testify.

Afraid to Testify.
 KINGSTON. Jamaica, Sept 17.-All circumstances point to the fact that the steamer Laurada included among her crew Spanish agent and spy. So far as is known here her identity has not been discovered.
 That the Lausada carried a flibuster- ing expedition to Cuba on this trip seems to be beyond all doubt, although there will probably be great difficulty in proving the fact, for the Spanish spy who is now well known, was on board and will hardly care to reveal himself in the witnessbox.
 If the party is known no action will be taken against him and he will not be disposed to carry out to the end the part he has been playing as hired spy. The explanation is that this man attempted to wreck the vessel, and should he ap- pear to swear to the information he pos Sesses regarding the filibustering part of the voyage he will have to face a charge on this count.
 On the contrary if his identity has really been ascertained no legal action will be taken against him as that might beg the question as to his possible testi- mony about the landing of the biggest filibustering expedition of modern times.
 The facts in connection with the stranding of the steamship so far as has been asoertained, are as follows:
 On the arrival of the Laurada at Port Antonio some person unknown gave in formation to the customs authorities that she had been engaged in flibus- tering expedition, and that there WAS large quantity Of rifles still on board which had not been landed, but which would be put ashore on the return voyage The ship was searched before she proceeded to the outpocts to take ID her cargo of fruit, but the arms were not found. The informant thereupon secretly promised one of the customs of ficials that on their vessels return from talpOkks He WOu4N HilU fllessnS 1Of QlScOF-- ering the secret recesses in which he was convinced Captain Murphy had concealed the arml since they had not left the vessel.
 On the night of Sept l, as the Lau- rada was entering Port Antonio and the Lamar was going out, the two vessels passing one another i'll the deep but in- trieate channel, the Laurada had to veer to make way for the outwardboun ship. At the critical moment, and with a strong current running, the steering gear of the Iaurada gave way At that moment the probable effect of the breakdown would have been to throw the Laurada across the Lamar's bow and bring |; bout q collision that would have sent t e former to the bottom. As 1t happened. the current was swifeer than the Lamar and the reconed Laurada escaped the latter's prov and was steersd on the coral reef. where she was lishtersd and pulled of with the rising tide.

Druggists Association reinforces q long line of already existing deeis- ions against monopolistic restraint of trade.
 The Court points out that while it is entirely proper and lawful for the wholesale druggists in the com bination to form an association for mutual benefit, they become an un- lawful conspiracy in restraint of trade as soon IS they begin using their combination to eoerce their customers.
 It is in restraint of trade and unlawful ; the Court says, for manufacturers to become a party to combinations which shall pre- vent customers from obtaining goods of other manufacturers be- cause such customers violate agree ments in respect to cutting prices. 7
 This is good law. It is good everywhere in the United States. No court will challenge its sound ness. Why then is it not law for the Attorney-General at Albany? Why is it's soundness doubted in the office of the Attorney-General at Washington? Why is it not publicly enforced through it's pen alties as we'll as through injune- tions and private suits2 Why are not the lawbreakers sent to jail?- N. '. World.
