From the Philadelphia Record.
the standing of the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard as an organization, and
the efforts of the state authorities to
have the troops enter the volunteer
army intact, an incident of Cleveland's
first Inauguration is of special interest
AS the head of the PENNSYLVANIA troops

The examining board had previously
decided that all pupils attaining per-
centage of 70 should graduate. As
every pupil entered went at least 10
above this figure, the pupils, teachers
and directors are proud of the result of
the first year of the schools under the
graded system.
The showing of the pupils was consid-
cred very good and the results ought
to spur on to seek further for knowledge
those who intend to remain at school;
while the object lesson of the eXamina-
tion, it is hoped by the directors, will
serve as an incentive to other pupils Of
the borough schools, that they may du-
plicate the success of these pupils in the
examinations of the future.
1t is likely that when the board re-
ceives the diplomas the class will be
called together for the purpose of pre-
senting them with tokens of the direc-
tors appreciation of their work.
The papers of the pupils can be ex-
amined by parents or other persons in
terested by applying to the secretary.

From the Wilkcsbarre Reporter.
There are few thousand men in the
county of Luzerne who would like to
know why the taxes have been increased
so much when it has been published in
large and small headlines that the coun-
ty has been saved fifty thousand, more
or less dollars in routine expenses, 1t
looks nice in print but when taxes are
almost doubled they want to know what
sort of system is followed. 1t seems to
be case of the more is saved the more it

In the Persian gulf the divers have a
curious way of opening the season.
They depend implicitly upon the shark
conjurers and will not descend with
out their presence. To meet this diff
Guilty the government is obliged to hire
the charmers to divert the attention Of
the sharks from the fleet. As the sea-
son approaches, vast numbers ofnatives
gather along the shore and erect huts
and tents and bazaars. At the oppor-
tune moment-usually at midnight, so
as to reach the oyster banks at sunrise
the fleet, to the number of so or 100
boats, puts out to sea. Each of these
boats carries two divers, a steersman
and shark charmer, and is manned
by eight or ten rowers. Other conjur-
ers remain on shore, twisting their
bodies and mumbling incantations to
divert the sharks. In case a man-eater
is perverse enough to disregard :he
charm and attack a diver, an alarre is
given and no other diver will descend
that day, The power of the coniurer
is believed to be hereditary and the
efficacy of his incantations to be
wholly Independent of his religious
faith.

FEEDING THE WORLD.

The Philadelphia Press has authen- tic information that there are new on the ocean heading for that city ninety three foreign steamships under charter to return to Europe with cargoes of grain. As these vessels will carry an average of 15,000 quarters of grain, the en,ire fleel will take out within, the next sixty days say 11,160, eco bushels O. grain. This estimate tjces not in- clude a large number Of vessels now en route for European ports which are under contract to return for another cargo, and, of course, it relates only to the port Of Philadelphia.
