INT'ELETGENT.

The esteemed Register is Argus-eyed,
 ana LOOKS after the welfare of the com
 monwealth just as the Worcester Spy
 does. It has turned one of it's hundred
 eyes on the Investigation of the sys-
 tenn of supervisors in New Haven pub
 lie schools. It sees the end from the
 beginning and says: 'To speak in all kindness we can do nothing better than
 to advise the committee charged with lnqu1rlng into the supervisors to wind up it's crusade and content itself with reporting progress to the Court of Com- mon Council. They will discover noth- ing of importance, and at the close will find that they have no intelligent report to make The investigation can be stopped now without injury to any body. Why not stop it?"
 Tn the same article in which this kindly advice is given the Argus-eyed Register remarks: ''The committee raised by the Court of Common Council for the purpose met and listened to the Chairman of the Committee on Schools, who, thoroughly familiar with the needs of the schools by reason of long experience, fired such volley of facts at the examiners that but little opportunity was given for sensation and exposures" And further: 'The board is composed of men of excellent judgment, who are more familiar with the situation than the Councilmen, and the superintendent Is a man who has proved during hls residence in New Haven that he has grasped intelligent ly the school needs'
 We'll said. Now the question seems to arise, where does the committee of the Court of Common Council come in? If it is certain that after being the tar get for "volleys of facts fired by mem- bers of the board of education, and af- l ter being instructed by the superinten- dent who "has grasped intelligently the | school needs the committee can't | make an intelligent report there must | be something very wrong with the con- mittee? Or does the Argus eyed Reg ister see that there are two sides to the question, and does it fear that the other side will not be presented so that the committee can be intelligent?

old man was bound by the option he had given. He could not sell until~the hour had expired. His state of mind was bad enough to begin with But as the day approached his misery intensi- fled. He could not eat He could not sleep. The thought of the difference be- tween $32,5O0 and 1000 for the old farm was torturing the man who had grown old and bent in trying to wiring a living out of it. What added to the strain was the tardiness of the option holders. No one appeared to close the deal at $65 an acre until within thirty minutes of the time the option expired The old man has lost all of the enjoyment in the $32,500 which he received in the rec ollection that it might just as well have been $75,O0O.

Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you For so did their fathers to the false prophets' Thus saith the Scriptures according to Luke If the great Admiral Dewey reads the newspapers and the Bible too, and he probably does he may well tremble. All men are speaking well of him, OF at least enough to say all. We notice that he is making some mild protest against the general and the special adulation He doubtless realizes the danger he is in, and knows that an accident might knock him off the perch upon which flaming and indiscriminating enthusi- asm has placed him. Perhaps he will be saved from woe by Professor Gold win Smith and the few others who can't see and say the greatness of his achieve ment. But they don't seem to count now, and so it behooves Admiral Dewey to walk softly. Here's hoping that he may escape woe.

and similar reasons the export of Rus sian cattle to England has been of very insignificant proportions, But the Rus sians are a persevering people, and they have not allowed themselves to assume that because their cattle were practically excluded from the British market for the time being therefore they always must be content to forego that market. For some years they have been engaged in eradcating the rinderpest from their herds, and now it is reported that there is scarcely trace of the disease left At the same time they have been introducing mod ern sanitary methods into their slauch tering and packing houses, modelling them closely after the world-famous houses at Chicago and Kansas City. Finally having brought about, as they believe, all the necessary improvements, they have invited a committee of Brit lSl eNpeflS tO NlSlt lHell COullllS anu judge for themselves whether the pres ent conditions are not such as to war rant the admission of their live stock and animal products into the British market as readily as imports from America and Australia are admitted. The committee is now in Russia, in specting the field under the guidance of the South Russian Society for the EX- portation of Cattle and Animal Pro- ducts. Even If they do not find every thing satisfactory at present, their re- port will tell the Russians exactly what to do to overcome the obstacles to the trade desired, and their suggestions will undoubtedly be followed if possi- ble.
 This is good scheme for Russia, but not so good for the United States.

She who needs holding down should develop muscle to do 1t. She will find such holding more satis- factory, and incidentally, that there is not so much to hold.
 This dress besides possessing the out lines that most women try to possess, was characterized by the current fash ion that has gown trimmed alike at top and bottom. That Is, its foot flounce and turn-down collar were finished sim ilarly with striped black satin edged with white lace. Lines of narrow silver soutache appeared on flounce, body and sleeves, and gathered white silk fur nished collar and vest. Cloth of the stylish pinkinsh gray shade was the dress goods.
 Stylish street shoes remain stocky, of mannfsh finish, but no longer ugly. No exquisite thinks of buying a ready made laced shoe because the set of the lacing is considered so important to the appearance of a shoe. The real manly shoe laces together exactly from below the instep to above the ankle, where the shoe spreads little. The dressier laced shoe spreads open over the instep and comes together at the ankle, spreading again above This emphasizes the of the foot, but the other meth- cd is better form. FLORETTE.

We of the United States are very
 smart people, as we have often and
 abundantly proved, but it will behoove
 us not to forget that there may be at least moderately smart people in other
 parts of the world. There are some in Russia, for instance and they are going to try to take away some of our trade with England Russia has large sur plus of animal products, untold num- bers of cattle being raised on the plains between Moscow and the Black Sea, but she has hitherto had much the same difficulty in getting those pro- ducts into Great Britain that we have had in getting ours admitted into Ger many and France The difference is that while Germany and France have been disposed to prohibit the American tion with the agricultural interests of their own people Great Britain has practically closed her markets to the cattle from the Russian steppes solely because of their dangerous character. It used to be common for Russian cat tie raisers to send to Hull and London beasts suffering from rinderpest, and, until very lately at any rate, the and packing houses of southern Russia were in anything but 3 proper sanitary condition.

An Effect ofa Bygone Fashion.

 Womens liking for the stylish out lines the artist gives to this picture led them to give up promptly the spring hip" figure, yet in their effort to ge that they learned great deal about how the corset should be worn. So while the ugly doughnut hips that resulted from the bygone fashion are no longer ac- cepted,, women are really more springy at the hips than they used to be. Many women lace their corsets with strong elastic except just at the waist line Women becoming a bit too full about the hips thus avoid that ugly pushing down of flesh resulting in rolls below the corset edge. Very thin hips look better so dressed, also. A corset elastic fastened about the hips does not hold

The postoffice authorities have with drawn the privileges of the mail from what is known as "the hungry hen lot tery' The advertisement of this scheme reads as follows: "On April F, 1900, we will place on large sheet one quart of wheat. Three Plymouth Rock hens, which have been kept from feed for six hours will then be permit ted to eat therefrom for ten minutes. when the remaining kernels will be taken up, counted and the number eaten by the hens ascertained To the subscriber who estimates nearest the number of kernels eaten by the hens we will give $50.' The ruling reads: "The eating propensities of hens, even though they be of the same breed, un- doubtedly vary, and the number of kernels eaten by one trio would be no criterion as to the number that would be taken up by another at a different time, although under precisely the same conditions. In my opinion this scheme is a lottery and all matter relating to it is unmailable."

Tn some parts of the South the limit !, of available labor for cotton mills with out inviting in the negroes, has nearly been reached. A Yorkville, South Car olina, correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier, reports that the mills there and in neighborng towns find increasing difficulty in securing a sufficient number of operatives to keep their machinery going. The wages paid, together with the long hours of employment, do not attract operatives from New England. There are plenty of ''handy'' negroes who could be taught the care of machinery, but bringing them into the mills would drive out the over-sensitive white work CTS. Even an advance in the wages paid has not filled the mills in question with skilled help, and the plan now proposed is to bring in the ignorant and inferior whites and train them This may avail as workers are en- gagged by families, and mill wages and village life are attractive to the poor whites of the country districts.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat tells this story of an old farmer in the lead region of southeast Missouri: He had 300 acres for which he would have been glad to take $10 an acre any time during the last twenty years He would prob ably have thrown in his whole crop at the figure. One day recently some men came along and asked the privilege of boring a hole in the ground. After they had gone down some distance they gave the old farmer S1,OOO in cash for the privilege of purchasing the farm at S65 an acre. The option was to run until certain day at noon. If the purchasers were not on hand at that time the $l 900 was to be forfeited. This party of pro- ,spectors disappeared. Another party appeared on the scene. After some fur ther exploration the second party ot- ,fered $50 an acre, for the farm' The
