Short Lived Parliaments.

There is one man at least, Mr. Mar
tin j. Griffin of Canada, who does not
believe the Conservative party will long
stay in power in England. He sums up
in The Forum the work Of the Rosebery
parliament It was considerable of a
parliament, after all, to his mind. He
says:
To have carried on the business of parlia-
ment with so small a majority for three years
shows great capacity and considerable luck,
and the wonder is greater when we reflect on
the exceptional character Of some of the meas
ures introduced. To have passed home rule
bill through the house of commons; to have
lnaugurated a dangerous agitation against the
house OF lords; to have suffered the loss of
Mr. Gladstone; to have borne up 50 long under
the unpopularity arising from a decaying ag-
riculture and an increasing want of employ
ment among the operative classes even in the
manufacturing towns; to have withstood the
mtrigues and aggressions of the Radicals dur
ing the whole period-these things show that
there was reserve of strength and skill and
craftsmanship among Mr.. Gladstone's and
Lord Rosebery's following. Lord Rosebery
carries that reserve into opposition, and we
may look forward to short period Of active
parliamentary tactics followed by a fresh
change in the masters of the empire The
days of long administrations seem to have
passed everywhere In an empire so wide
these changes do not seriously affect the inter-
ests of the people at large. To an inhabitant
Of the Roman provinces it mattered very little
whether one emperor or another reigned in
Rome. To citizen Of the British empire it
matters not much in Vancouver or Australia
whether Salisbury or Rosebery holds the helm
Of state at Westminster.

School Lectures.

Tho pleasantest and by no means least
profitable way to get instruction is by
means Of lectures. School authorities are
beginning to find that out more and
more and to arrange in the courses Of
public instruction for occasional talks
on various scientific, historical and 9TH
or subjects.
New York city perhaps furnishes the
most shining example thus far Of the
success Of public school lectures. The
superint of the course is DR.. Henry
NJ. Leipziger, who grows more en-
thusiastic on this subject the more he
knows about it. His report shows that
last year $50 lectures altogether were
given. They We're attended by no less
than 224, 118 persons. The course began
in November and extended over Is
weeks, ending in March.
1t was a sight with touch of pathos
in it to witness the audiences at the lee
lures They were given at each hall on
two evenings Of the week. No children
under 16 years old are allowed to at
tend, the instruction being for the older
class of school pupils. But the parents
presented themselves in greater force
than the young people did. Gray haired
men and women, bowed with work,
fastened their evening meal and hur-
ried to the hall, where they hung upon
every word Of the speaker. It was a
light and a joy to their toll and poverty
blighted lives In many instances they
were foreigners who could scarcely
speak English, but that made no differ
ence They heard, understood and
learned

So was history, particularly American

Of the most numerously attended of the
lctures was one on Greek architecture,
and it gave infinite delight in the very
slums Of the great city. Stereopticon
views Illustrated many of the talks, and
these were especially popular. Some of
the lectures were in courses Of from two
to four, notably those on electricity,
light and economics. <

There are towns in which the public.
school is adjourned when circus comes
to town. There are others, so it is said,
in which the public school is adjourned
with equal readiness for either horse
race or revival or a big funeral. AL
most anything serves as an excuse. Those
who are always willing to let the boys
and girls have a good time should re-
member that for every half holiday a
considerable amount of the public edu-
cational fund is wasted. More than that,
half days lessons for hundreds and
sometimes thousands of children are
wasted, and there is not time now to get
in properly all the instruction called for
in the public school courses. Worst of
all frequent holidays are demoralizing
to school children. The habit Of steady
mental discipline, sticking to business
through thick and thin, is the most i'm
portant and necessary one civilized
human being can form. Being forced to
become accustomed to this habit in early
youth is worth thousands of dollars to
the future man and woman. Whatever
interferes with formation of such a
habit works against future success. Let
the young ones have all the legal holi-
days in the calendar, but not too many
others.

Wind as q Motive Power.

w LII ID u 4JAVGAVO &xOyV0Es
Wind rs q political power is much
more familiar to the people Of the Unit
ed States than wind as a motive power.
Yet even in the latter capacity its use is
very extensive, and growing more so.
Mr.. Frank Waldo, who has been looking
extensively into the utilization Of wind
power in the country, finds reason to
believe that this power will be the main
one to be used in pumping water for the
irrigation of the arid regions Of the
west.
There are over 100 firms engaged in.
this country in the manufacture Of wind
wheels, and MI. Waldo finds one Of
them sold over $1,000 in single year.
He believes there are more than half
million wind wheels in use in the United
States, and the number, is increasing
at the rate Of $4,000 a year They are
largely employed for raising water, but
they are also utilized very generally for
grinding grain, cutting wood and run
ming machines for other purposes on the
farm. In Texas wheel 10 feet in di-
ameter pumps $4,000 to 100, 900 gallons
of water month, raising it a distance
Of SO feet A farmer in Cortland, Neb.,
finds that his wind wheel has pumped
IS, 600 barrels Of water in a year, and
not only that, but pumped it $50 feet
through two inch pipe. This patient
and useful servitor that requires neither
food nor fuel once pumped 100 barrels
in II hours Wind power seems to be
holding its own even in comparison with
steam and electricity.

There is an immense crop of Ameri-
can apples this fall. Much of it will be
shipped to Europe. A fruit shipper says
that of SO growers who sent apples to
him only three knew how to pack their
apples. Those realized almost twice as
much as the men did who were ignorant
Of the proper method Of packing In the
first place, the fruit must be absolutely
sound, every piece. There must be no
smuggling of knotty, unripe or rotten
apples in the middle. Then the apples
must be Of uniform size and color, pack
ed with the stem ends all one way. The
fruit shipper says that packages the size
Of orange boxes would be better than
barrels
