Passenger Rates Cut.

= Notice of 81 cut in the rates from Chi
cago TO Kansas City was yesterday given
out by the Santa Fe and Rock Island roads,
effective July II. The other Kansas City
lines will make the same rates, which will
apply in both directions. similar cut is
expected to be made in the rates to and
from Omaha. The trouble originated from
the sale of round-trip tourist tickets al $40
agreed to for the Omaha exposition. The
Chicago-St. Paul lines are considering a
similar move.

morrow will say: While the tone of general
business partakes of the usual midsummer
stock-taking quietness, the number of fa-
vorable features coming to hand has not
materially lessened and confidence in a good
fall business is still widespread. Business
in speculative circles is restricted and the
new war taxes have had an appreciate eff
feet in reducing the volume of speculative
sales by so-called scalpers in grain and Sc
curities. The tone of prices. particularly for
cereals, has shown a slight Improvement
for the week and detailed comparisons with
recently preceding periods are still quite
favorable. The crop condition is in the
main, very favorable. although the tendency
now is to discard early extreme estimates
of yield of wheat and 675 900 600 to 700 600 0lO

School Holidays in France.

FROM the New York Herald.
The small boy who has to go to school In
New York looks upon the small boy who
has to go to school in France with some
thing of the envy with which Lazarus may
have looked upon Dives. 1t is the question
of holidays which constitutes the difference
in favor Of the lad who attends public
school of instruction in the French republic,
The school boys of France have more holi-
days than work days in the year, and in
that fact lies the grievance of the Ameri-
can youngster The average boy, be he a
native Of Manhattan or a child Of Timbuc-
too is more fond of a holiday than he is of
wOrkday, theorists and moralists to the
contrary notwithstanding. And the more
holidays he has the better terms is he on
with himself and all the world.
Two hundred and six holidays in the
year, as against lJ9 school DAYS That's
the record of public instruction in France.
To begin with. there is the regular midsum-
mer holiday, which covers period of six
ty-four days. That's pretty good for a
starter. Then there are the Sundays. They
are holidays, of course, everywhere, but
they count an additional ffty-two days
Then ten days allowed for the proper
celebration of Christmas and New Year To
be thoroughly obserNant of the great feast
of EaStertide fifteen days are given. Thurs
days are holidays, and that means fifty-two
more days of no labor. All Saints comes In

The Niger.
From the Gentleman's Magazine.


Park died in the belief that the Niger
found its way to the Atlantic through the
Congo, which alone at its mouth seemed to
possess an adequate body of water for so
long river; and. while Mai. Pe!die in vain
attempted to follow Parks route from the
Gambia. Lieut.. Tuckey was, in consonance
with his theory, dispatched by the British
government in 1916 to follow up the Congo
from its mouth. But both expeditions
proved equally disastrousy Eight years
later Lieut.. Clapperton on his first
expedition from the Barbary coast, learned
at Sackatoo Cor Sokoto) that the Niger
flowed southwark to the sea- With a view
to determine this, he was sent out again in
1925, and this time landed at Badagry, lear
Lagos. in the Blight of Benin, not a very
great distance, as It afterwsrd turned cut
from the long-sought mouth of the river.
From here he and his competitions Travelled
overland. reaching the Niger at Bussa just
below where Mungo Park had met with
fis death. Then, instead of following his
instructions and descending the river to its
outlet. he started off an ambitious de-
sign to cross the continent to Abyssinia,
and died at Sokoto in April, 1927.
1t was Ciappertons servant, Richard
Lander. who, with his brother John, in
1880. settled the question of tie outlet of
the Niger by descending 1t IN canoes from
Bussa, or rather from Yauri. where they
had first gone to try TO recover Park S
papers. The mystery was solved, and the
river was found to enter the sea by a num-
ber of mouths, which for hundreds of years
had been known to our merchants as the
OIL rivers, and which, being individ ually
smaller than the united stream, had given
no suspicion Of their being the outlets Of a
great river. The Landers seem tc have met
with fewer obstacles from the rapids,
which had proved so fatal to Park, than
from the unfriendliness of the natives.

Prominent members of the Protestant
Episcopal Church who are responsible for
the safe keeping of diocesan and other
funds are endeavoring to bring about a
change of method il. al dioceses and have
Issued a plan, which is, however, still in
tentative shape, upon which they desire
to receive suggestions. The salaries of
Episcopal bishops are paid from invested
funds and contributions from churches
These invested funds run from $50 eco in
the weaker Jurisdictions to $3.50 600 in the
stronger ones. Then there is the fund for
aged and infirm clergy and moneys be-
longing to different churches in the diocese
The plan proposed is that the managers
of these funds arrange with trust COM
panies of assured standing both to hold
existing securities and to advise concern
ing the investment of accumulation There
has been talk of establishing church trust
company to do national business in
church funds, with perhaps branches in
large cities. 1t is stated that not only
would Episcopal funds be better cared
for by such an arrangement. but that other
adopt the idea. There are said to be at
least $lOO,0O0,OO0 of such moneys held by all
churches in the country, and this outside of
hospitals, asylLms and the like. The funds
to be affected are those only for which
church organization of any kind is directly
or indirectly responsible.

Every flock has its own shepherd, who
watches the Shaep on horseback. He has
number of dogs which he so trains that
they will obey his signs. Most of the dogs
are Scotch collieS, which are very intelli-
gent, and which understand their masters
almost as well as though they could under
stand language. When the shepherd makes
a motion to the front they know that they
are to go ahead, motion to the rear calls
them back, and the raising of his hand in
the air brings them to a standstill. Other
motions send them to the right and left
and, in fact, they act for him almost as
well as If they were human beings. The
