The Germans were more thrifty and

brought over with them about S3o per

from that country, and the total mon

The immigrants who make the next

1874 persons landed, and possessing

The Folly of Examinations.

The promotion examination is a test of
memory rather than of power. 1t may
show some things that the pupil does not
know, but it cannot show what the pupil
does know 1t destroys and prevents broad
and intelligent teaching, makes of the
teacher grind and turns out pupils by
machinery. 1t forces pupils to go over far
more work than they can grasp or under
stand, and it causes many to leave school.
1t brings senseless worry to the nervous,
who often fail to pass, while the less
worthy succeed. 1t is, moreover, great
temptation to deceit 1t demands one
third more time than is necessary to i'm
part the same knowledge and to give bet
ter training. 1t puts premium not upon
the work done day by day during the year,
but upon the amount of "stutting" that
can be done at the end of the term. These
are few of the many reasons why 1t has
been condemned as Il moral injustice to
pupils and teachers and as one of the
greatest of educational blunders. w. j.

AS is often the case with evil insects and

niicant annoyance which tipping was and

will still satisfy majority of the exactions
of this sort, while here only silver will do

least a tenth of the nominal price for what

Americans once in awhile muster up cour-
age enough to leave untipped "a barber or

again, but even in these cases 1T is nOCes-

KEEP OUT CHINESE HIDES.
They are Alleged to be Infected with
Anthrax.

Some weeks ago the United States
Treasury Department received infor-
nation that four employees of the Fall
Creek tannery near Dubois, Pa, had
died after drinking water from Fall
Creek. which receives the drainage out
of the tannery An investigation by
the local authorities is said to have
disclosed the fact that large number
of hides which had been imported
from China were infected with the dis
ease known as anthrax, and that dur
ing the process of tanning the bacte-
ria had poisoned the waters of the lit
tie creek. with the result stated. The
present tariff act prohibits the impor-
tation of hides into the United States
except from countries which the
Secretary of Agriculture may desig-
nate as not free of cattle diseases. In
view of the information received from
Fall Creek the treasury officials have
in preparation letter to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture recommending
that the matter be further Investigate
ed, and if the facts are found to be as
stated that he issue an order prohib-
ing the importing of Chinese hides in
to the United States.

THE DEADLY HAT PIN.
Patents Taken Out for Hat Fasteners
But None are in Use.

Two persons have lately lost their
eyesight in London by having the very
sharp points of hatpins run into THEN
eyes by accident. One was the case
of "A passenger on a coach next to II
lady, with her hat fastened by one of
these pins, and another was that of a
child who was injured while playing
with a companion. AS a result of the
accidents the newspapers of the Eng
fish metropolis are making a warfare
on the use of long hatpins.
The most peculiar thing about the
hatpin in question is the fact that
while the United States patent Office
has issued fifty-four patents for hat
fasteners, the pin in use is one that has
never been patented. These patents
comprise every imaginable device for
keeping a hat on a woman's head,
from pin a little more complicated
than the hat pin in common use to
the most intricate piece of harness for
the same purpose. But this great va
riety of apparatus has had TO give
way in popularity TO the simple long
pin used in the feminine world for
keeping hats on.

Gave Her Sister AWAY.

1t was long time since they had seen
each other, and naturally enough they had
lots of real, nice things to say to each
other, bat her little sister Grace was very
much in the way, so to speak.
Run along to mamma, dear" she said
to the little one. I'm give you some
candy if you will"
''No, don't want to"
"Ah, now, please do, like good little
girl. "
but I'd rather stay here"

tomorrow, if you don't"
Her pleadings were in vain, and so the
little one remained. Presently mamma
came in, and the conversation Jagged a
trifle. Suddenly thought struck little
sister.

me to go to mamma for "a little while

The size of the English war horse
reached its maximum in the reign of Henry
VIII. when the relations of body armor
to "hand guns We're analogous to those
of the early ship armor and cannon before
the "high velocities" were obtained at
Elswick. There was good reason to be-
lieve, says the London Spectator, that by
adding "a little to the thickness of the coat
of steel the soft, low velocity bullet of the
day could be kept out So it was for n
time. But the additional weight required
a still larger horse to carry it. The charger
had to be armured, as well as his rider, and
the collection in the tower of London
shows the actual weight which it carried.
The panoply IF Charles Brandon, duke OF
Suffolk, the brother-in law of Henry VIII
still exists. That of the horse covers the
whole Of the hind quarters, the back of the
neck, forehead, muzzle, ears, shoulders
and chest. 1t is exactly like a piece of
boiler plating and fastened by rivets.
The rider sat in saddle, the front of
which was "a steel shield ten inches high
covering the stomach and thighs as the
"breastwork' ON an ironclad's deck GOV.
ers the base of the turret. The total weight
is so pounds 10 ounces. To this add the
weight of the riders armor, 90 pounds {
ounces, and of the rider himself, say II
stone (224 pounds, and the total is 2s
stone ~ pounds ounces, or 404 pounds {
ounces. This bears out Hollinshead' S state
ment that in the days of Henry VIII

ing horses, especially the greatest sort,
such as were kept for burden, thOst

Chicago, Feb. 1.-Two thousand five
hundred men, employees of the Illinois
Steel company of South Chicago, accept
ed sweeping reduction in wages yester-
DAY. Not a man. from the President
down was exempt from the reduction.
Five, 10 and 10 per cent. was taken
from each days pay, but there was no.
thing more serious than grumbling and
dark looks. The cut did not affect the
members Of the AmalEamated Associa-
ton OF Iron and Steel Workers. The an
nouncement OF the cut was not all the
bad news, however. for along with 1t
the company expressed Its intention of
soon taking back the thousand men it
made idle month ago. These men have
been suffering the keenest poverty. In
fact many of them with their families
have been supported by the charity
workers of South Chicago. BY them the
message from the company was hailed
with joy.
