Balance unaccounted for

/ would observe, in passing, that in the
above statement Mr.. Cook is charged with
having bills on hand to the amount of
$1,114.2 % upon June !, 1895, rs per his
own report fer the year ending May 81,
1895.
He does not say as TO how much OF that
sum wss due for gas. acd how much was due
for coke, nor can l find any list showing the
amounts and names of those by whom it was
due. But l do find that he transferred TO a
new ledger, opened June 1, 1895, balances TO
the amount of 81 1905 (see exhibit ID in
stead of $1,114.2S stated in his report. The
same holds true, so far as the list of amounts
and names is concerned, of the S75S worth
of bills stated to have been on hsnd Jun /,
1886. There being thus a doubt as to the
amount of bills actually on hand, tho above
statement cannot be claimed to be more than
approximately correct.
Now the reason fer my belief that the
amount unacconnted for exceeds the 81, 751,-
90 shown by the above statement, is, tina,
as will DE observed by q glar c, at that state
ment, 5 per cent. discount is allowed upon all
the gas sold. Now as a matter of fact all gas
bills are not discounted, and the city is clear
~ entitled 10 the sum thus earned. That this
sum is 8 considerable one seems a reasonable
proposition, and in order that the amount
may be appreciated, l have prepared a similar
report showing the operations of the gas office
during the fiscal year beginning June 1,
1896, and ending May 81, 1897, which was
as follows:

Rev. George Canning wrote an 40.
count OF the school OF his youth, which
he attended just after the Revolution.
Girls and boys attended together the
primary school, and sat on seats made
of round blocks of wood of various
heights, which were furnished by the
parents. Children bowed and kissed
the teachers hand on leaving the
room. The teaching of spelling was
peculiar. 1T wa, the last lesson OF the
day
The master gave out long word,
say multiplication, with blow of his
strap on the desk as a signal for all to
start together, aud in chorus the whole
class spelled out the word in syliables.
The teachers ear was SO trained and
acute that he at once detected any
misspelling. If this happened he de-
manded the name Of the scholar who
made the mistake. II there was any
hesitancy or refusal in acknowledge
ment he kept the whole class until,
by repeated trials Of long words, ac-
suracy was obtained. The roar of the
many voices of the large school, all
pitched in different keys, could be
heard on sumne~ days for long dis
tancs. The Chautauquan.

The Investigations of Nenki have
led him to conclude that the time will
come when it will be possible to re-
move all micro organisms from food.
As regards the question whether their
action is necessary for the normal pro-
cess of digestion, he presents reasons
for telieving that it is not, this con-
clusion being based on the following
grounds: The acid of the stomach
destroys the majority of the micro or
ganisms, only small number escap-
ing this fate and getting with the food
into the intestinal tract. In the small
intestines their action is confined to
the decomposition of the carbohy-
drates and the formation of lac tic aud
succinio acids, alcohol, etc. It is only
in the large intestine that the decom-
position of albumens and the form alton
of romatic bodies, and OF the different
acids under their influence, take place.

WRITINGS OF BOILEAU.
he Emphasized the Most vital Character

ne Emphasized the Most vital Character
of the Taste of the French.
Although the satires of Boileau were
largely suggested by what had been
effected in that direction by the an
cients-indeed, the subjects of some
were directly taken from writings that
have come down to us-yet he man
aged to make them perfectly original
says the Gentlemans Magazine. The
outlines were Latin but the details were
entirely French. His versification and
general style were considered extreme
ly good. The following opinion Of Nj.
Demogeot may be held to express the
estimate formed by the fairest Judges.
After remarking that Boileau had ap-
pretended and emphasized the most vi
tai character of the national taste
namely, raillery funded on intell-
gent good sense, and after declaring
that the ancient French spirit of Villon
and Marot had been ennobled by the
language OF the classics, and the ele-
CANT niceties of the age of Louis XIV.
so that Boileaus real position was that
of a bourgeois OF Paris in the grand
gallery of Versailles, he adds: His
criticism was clear simple, accessible
to all negative rather than suggestive,
reducing the principles of art to those
of common sense. 1t was piquant, full
OF raillery and delicate malice and en-
livened by personalities. In truth, 1t
delivered its precepts in imperishable
verses, brilliant alike from imagery
and pregnant meaning; and condens-
ing what was desired to be said into
proyerb-like expressions, to be received
without yemanstrance and remembered
without difficulty"
