The car is enthusiastic in pro
noting the worlds peace IA
noble ideal. But it would per
haps he well for him to keep a
little of his reforming zeal for his
own empire. His subjects have
need of it. The only obtainable
statistics of the number of per
sons in the Russian empire who
can neither read nor write are to
be found in the reports of the
army and navy recruiting depart
uents. A recruit is always ask
ed if he can read and write and
his answer is registered The lat
est reports show that 40 per cent
of the youths who are raised by
the CONSUMPTION are totally ILL
terate. AS vast number more
males than females are able to
read in Russia, and it is rare to
find an aged peasant who can
read and write, it may be accept
cd as a fact that probably not
20 per cent of the entire popula-
ton of the empire has obtained
the first rudiments of this knowl-
edge. There are over 10000 vii
lagos in Russia where no school
exists. 1t is calculated that, by
disbanding 100000 men of his
huge army the car would have
funds at his disposal for building
10000 schools and 10000 village
schoolmasters' houses, and would
have million pounds sterling
over for paying the teachers sal
aries. And he would still have
100000 soldiers-a number great
err than the combined land forces
of England, Germany and the
United States. Example is bet
ter than precept. Let Russia
set an example of disarmament

First Solid Headed Pins.

William Stanton Slocum, of
Boston, says that the first solid
headed pin made, either in Europe
or America, was made by Samuel
Slocum, who was born in Rich
mond, r. L., in 1892, and died in
pawtucket in 1861. In 1880, Mr..
w. S. Slocum says, Samuel Slo-
cum was in the Isle of Wight,
and there invented a machine to
make board nails, which up to
that time were made by hand. The
idea came to him that pins, which
then were made by winding a fine
wire on the head and fastening it
to the post of the pin, might be
made in an improved manner on
a principle similar to that of his
Matchmaking machine. 1t took
him some time to develop and
perfect this idea, and finally he
shut himself in a room and re-
manned there for eight days, see
ing no one and having his meals
passed in to him, at the expiration
of which period he was able to
proclaim his task completed. That
was in 1S31.-New York Sun.

King Oscars Plates.

William Thomas of Portland,
Me-, American minister at Stock
holm, is a great friend of King
Oscar, and tells some interesting
stories of that genial monarch.
When King Oscar was at Paris
some years ago he went about
seeing the sights incognito.
Among other places he dropped
in at the Official exposition of
Sevres porcelain. Here the pro
duct of every year was arranged
chronologically and with great
care. OF some kinds there were
full sets, but of blue celeste there
were but three pieces, and the
custodian informed the king that
it was impossible to obtain more,
and that they were of immense
value.
what" said the king, "have
you only these three plates of blue
ccleste?'
Chat is ALL
"Nell, then" said the majesty,

YOU sad the custodian, in
amazement. "Who are your"
"The King of Sweden
"May inquire, your majesty,
how many pieces of this exquisite
porcelain you have?"
"Hear thou, Mis- said the
King, turning to his first, marshal,
Count Rosen, who accompanied
him. "How many have we?'
"Two hundred and fourteen
pieces, your majesty"
"Heavensm cried the astonish-
ed custodian. GLOW can it be
possible that you have preserved
them all this time?"
ooh, that's very easily account
ed for" said the king. you see,
in Sweden we don't have any re-
volutions."

Bret Harte works away quietly

hardly bear comparison with that

of the capital appears to suit him

ever see a boy trying to get an
apple or cherry that was just a

Certainly" she answered;

"He keeps jumping and jump
ing until he gets it, don't he?"
"Of course"
"But does he continue jumping
after he has got it?"
Certainly not. There's no
need of it,
"Well," he said, as he turned to
his paper again, you're my cher

reason why | should keep on

more she thought the more unde-
cided did she become as to wheth-
err she ought to be angry with

Increase OF Whites in Hawaii.

A rapid increase of the white
population of Honolulu, Hawaii,
is clearly indicated by the unpre-
cedented multiplication of new
dwellings n those sections of the
city occupied by the whites. 1t
seems safe to say that such
houses have at least doubled dur
ing the past two years. The larger
number are modest cottages, but
good proportion are fine resi-
dences. In September, 1896, the
city population was 10000. 1t
now probably reaches 10000. A
large number of the fine business
structures have been erected since
that date and many more are now
in progress. Builders and con
tractors are finding it difficult to
meet the demands upon their re-
sources. The lumber supply not
long since was nearly exhausted.

The quarter centennial of the estab-
lishment Of the ChautauQua Summer
School ana Assembly was recently cele-
bratcd on the banks Of that beautiful
inland lake whose name it bears in the
southwestern part Of the state of New
York. The Chautauqua idea, which
was born jointly in the minds Of two
men Bishop John y. Vincent, Il preach
er and teacher, and Lewis Miller, Il
shrewd business man-has grown mar
vclously in these 20 years and has
wrought Il good work i'll the world, The
plan of establishing and maintaining u
place where instruction could be coupled
with recreation ut a pleasant summer
resort was at that time novel as it was
attractive. The scheme was popular
from its inception. The movement
spread like an epidemic until hundreds
of similar "Chautauqua' SKINNER
schools We're multiplied at similarly at
tractive places for summer resort Their
influence particularly in the mental
quickening and higher discipline ON the
part of the teaching forces of the coun-
try, can scarcely be estimated. The
Chautauqua idea has developed into q
great and widespread educational move
ment, and the celebration Of the quar-
ter centennial was an event Of no little
general interest.

The third rail system Of electric pro-

surface and elevated railroads. The
Brooklyn elevated railroads have adopt
ed it in part it is in use on the New

short surface lines running out Of Hart
ford and one running out of Boston
have substituted it for steam. The sys-
TEN doubtless has many merits, but it
has also some demerits. II some re-
spects it IS more dangerous than the

killed by coming in contact with the
third rail recently near Hartford, and
a second man was killed the same way
on the Brooklyn elevated railroad a few
days ago There is still question as to
whether the third rail appliance will be
able TO Withstand severe winter storms.
1t is still in the experimental stage,
and its introduction should be carefully
guarded and further experiments as to
its adaptation to this climate should be
carefully watched.
