Under the law the Inspector General

else this prerogative on very few oc-
casions and in scattered cases. Now,
however, the number is quite large
one and includes some important po-

boards approval, will probably be
permanent:

principal.
A D. Wishare, substitute principal
at Waimea, Hawaii, in place of John

II is pitiful to contemplate the com
placency with which unthinking or ig-
norant parents, rich rs well as poor,
consent to cater criminally to the in
fantile demand for candy. The effect
is less disastrous, perhaps, among the
well-to-do, for the reason that the stuff
consumed is manufactured from supe-
rior materials. But certain it is that
with American children of every class
the confectioner is patronized more
generously than is the butcher or the
baker. To this fact is due most of
the destruction Of teeth in youth, as

their rise in the stomach. Care of
the teeth and mouth is essential, of
course, and will go far to minimize the
evil results complained of. But no
amount of care will "avoid the evil, "

their infants by feeding them upon
candy, and consent to inordinate con-
sumption by their children of larger
growth. 1t is the prevalence of the

four inches in diameter, made of
braided rotan, verv hollow, very strong
and resilient. The number of con-
testants is not arbitrarily fixed, but
play is sharpest when there are enough
to form circle about ten feet in
diameter. The larger the circle after
it has passed the desirable diameter
the slower the play. The game is to
keep the ball tossing into the air
without breaking the circle. As a
man fails at his opportunity lie drops
ont, and when their remain but four
or six the work is sharp and very
pretty. The ball is struck most gen.
orally with the knee, but also with the
foot, from in front, behind. and at the
side. Some become remarkably clever.

suggests possibilities for remodelling,
which are always acceptable to home

Wireless telegraphy is not so cw
as most persons suppose. The banks
of the Susquehanna, more than half a
century ago, saw experiments in it by
Morse and Gale; and some islands
have maintained communication with
the main shore of England in this way
for seven or eight years. But this
method was by an induced current.
II current of electricity is sent
through one wire, it will induce cur
rent in an opposite direction in an-
other wire parallel to it. This needs
long stretches of parallel wire, how
ever, and will not work if the wires
