SEASON AT NEWPORT.

Last year was the dullest socially that Newport has known for thirty years. This year things are picking up bit, and it is said all the big enter tainments are already arranged for, so madame has her engagement book all made out for the summer and has noth- ing further to do but enjoy herself Hotelkeepers are getting ready for a rush, because it is expected a horde of titled folk will follow Sir Thomas Lip ton over when he brings his yacht to compete for the cup.
 It is said Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont will occupy the famous marble house this summer, as w. K. Vanderbilt, jr., her son, and his bride, formerly Miss Fair, have declined to open the big house on their own account. Instead they have taken Belvoir, which is a beauty spot The house is all covered with ivy and is surrounded by eighty acres of lawn. They will entertain lavishly.
 George Gould will not go to Newport. His wife never did like the place, and Lady Mary SackVflle of England, now her guest, does not want to go where there is crush. The Goulds will live on their yacht this summer and cruise about the coast as fancy strikes them.
 Henry White. secretary of the Amer ican legation in London, will not he able to come to America this summer, and has leased his Newport place, Ed gerson, to MT. and Mrs Almeric Hugh Paget. Mrs. Paget is the daughter of Mir Whitney
 It is said the first big function of the Newport season will occur in June, when Mrs. Potter Palmer gives a dance to introduce Miss Julia Grant to many Newport people she has not met Ex- tensive entertaining will be done this summer, previously to her marriage.

FUN FOR THE CHILDREN.
Explaining to Them Wonderful Meas-
 Eating Plant.

Now, children, I am going to show you a few curious experiments with the sundew, which I believe were first tried by celebrated man named Fran els Darwin. On this plate I have pill box full of fine gravel, another filled with nnely chopped raw meat, tho third holds raw white of egg, and this one has in it small chips of wood. Now. Eva, take very small pinch of sand. sprinkle few grains on this leaf. and tell me what you see. Don't push. children. There is plenty of room for every one, as l said before. 1 wilt sprinkle some on the second plant. SO you can divide up into two parties Tommy, stand by me. I know there are seven, but count as one, so now there are four to each pot. Well, what do you see?' A feeble chorus Of Moth ing, oh, nothing" did not impress Un- cle Grim. Look again. I take differ ent leaf on each plant and I drop little white of egg from the blade oe my knife. Now, watch "Ohi" "Ahr' Its shutting upi. ssIt,s eating it!" were the cries, after minute or so. Quite right. You see, we cannot cheat this plant. It knows what suits 1t and what does not, and it is neither so ignorant nor foolish as to eat gravel which it could not possibly digest. Now offer third leaf on each plant a chip of wood, and you see they both again refuse to have anything to do with it; and, last of all, see how thesa sane leaves which refused not a mo- ment ago the chips of wood, now close tightly over the pieces of neat Cassells Little Folks.

Praise for American Schools.

Dr. Krohn, a prominent educator a graduate of Yale, and who has studied in France, Germany, Austria, Italy and England, says that he is firmly com yinced that the system of public schools in this country is far in ad- vance of all other nations, but that our system has too much forcing and unless much care is exercised in that regard it will tell on the children. He further says that precocity, unless ca2 efully guarded and directed, Is ai- most as dangerous as imbecility.

THE ouIck-FlRlNo CRAZE.
Fast Reaching the Point of Absolute
 Absurdlty.

Fast Reaching the Point of Absolute
 Absurdlty.
 The Austrian press. including even the military journal Reiehswehr, has been giving prominence to the alleged invention of a remarkable quick-firing rifle, says the London Globe This truly wonderful weapon will in the hands of trained soldier emit no fewer than 2,700 bullets an hour, or forty-fve in one minute. Thus in an engagement which lasted several hours each soldier could loose off a cartload of ammunition, if he had it at his el- bow; and an army of 90, 900 men-a mere handful of men as continental ltm5ts go-would require 50,000 cart
 ads with the firing line in one seri- sGs engagement. For campaign of in} asion each soldier would require to be followed by magazine; and a shell exploding in a company would produce as many devastating explosions as there were men. If, on the other hand, each soldier marched with, say, his own 200 rounds, he could fire them all in less than five minutes and be left without ammunition for the rest of the engage ment. Such considerations are, of course, extreme; but they show that the "reductio ad absurdum" of quick firing rifles is easily reached. Even now the difficulty Is to get enough ann munition to the firing line and to keep control of the fire. If rapidity of fire is much increased without some entire ly new method of bringing up ammu- milton the occasional advantage of be- ing able to pour in deadly hail of bull lets for minute or two will be dearly purchased at the cost of whole bri- gades perhaps being rendered "hors de combat" for want of ammunition at the beginning of fight. What applies to rife fire applies also to artillery; and the armies which have been in hurry to arm themselves with so-called quick-fring artillery before the ma ehinery was perfect or the ammunition problem solved may find themselves in worse quandary than if they had re- tained their old weapons.

lish statement in the GLACIER concern

This report does not begin TO do jus
tiee to the cash contributors, many OF
whom have put in from two TO twenty

sible to enumerate all who have assisted

These will be compensated from a
sense OF having labored we'll and the
knowledge that they have assisted in a
valuable and permanent improvement
