Damange, one of Dreyfus' attorneys,
says that he is convinced the examine
tion Of the much talked about secret
dossier- the war departments myste-
rious budget of documents on which
Dreyfus was condemned five years ago
will not require more than two ses-
sions. He says:
.'As soon as they exhibit the docu-
ments we will puncture their famous
secret dossier, and it will be shown that
there is nothing in it. Colonel Jouaust
knows it. That is why he ordered se-
cret sittings until further notice, in
stead Of for four days, as was recon-
mended by Major Carriere.'
The general impression IS that both
Garriere and Jouaust made bad debut.
Even the anti -Dreyfusites are dissatis-
fed. They are heard on all sides say
ing that it is trick of the government
putting such ridiculous person as Car
riere in charge of the prosecution.

THE sUNDAY-scHooL UNION.
Celebration of Seventy-ffth Anniversary
Held in Philadelphia.

Tho celebration OF the seventy-ffth an
niversary OF tho American Sunday-school
Union has just been held in Philadelphia.
The ceremonies took place in tho Academy
of Music. One of the features of the decora-
tions was a large map of the United States
erected on the stage, which showed tho
percentage of the population Of each State
of the Union enrolled in Sunday-schools.
The little State of Delaware headed tho
list with twenty-eight per cent, Maryland
came next with twenty-five per cent. and
Oregon third with twenty-four per cent.
Then followed all the other States and Ter
r~ltories, New Mexico being the last with
but three-tenths of one per cent. of her
population connected with Sunday-schools.
Addresses were made by Morris II. Jcs.
sup, of New York, President OF the Unionl
Bishop Cyrus ID. Foss, of the Methodist
Episcopal Diocese OF Pennsylvania; the
Rev. Henry Varley, OF England; tho Rev,
DR.. Floyed W. Tomkins, rector OF Trinity
Protestant Episcopal Church, OF Philadel-
phia and Rufus NJ. Jones, representing the
Society of Friends.
The American Sunday-School Union was
organized in 1924. During the seTenty-lve
years of its existence. 100, 928 Sunday
schools have been organized, embracing
57s, $50 teachers and 400, SAG scholars,
During the same time aid has been extended
to struggling Sunday-schools in 224,s4i
cases, and the value OF publications dis.

Mr.. Robert Crawford, in his ''South
American Sketches" says that while
turbans, pith-helmets and ~air-cham-
bered hats all have their advocates in
that hot country, by far the most ex-
traordinary device for keeping tho
head cool of which he has eve heard
was one adopted by an Irish Office
boy whom he had in Uruguay.
The device, however, had two seri-
GUS defects which would, no doubt,
initiate against its general adoption.
For one thing, it was not OF a por'a-
BILE nature, so that it could not be
worn while walking about; and, for
another, it interfered considerably
with the sense of hearing on the part
of the person protected by it.
| discovered the boys invention in
this way; The weather was very hot,
and / called out, ''Tom, bring me a
glass of water from the refrigerator"
There was no reply. | raised my voice
and repeated the call several times,
but with a like result. SO | thought
/ would go and fetch the water my
self, as Tom had apparently given
himself leave OF absence,
On reaching the refrigerator l found
the missing Tom with his head down
in it, and on inquiry learned that this
was his usual way OF cooling himself
when his head began to swell with
the heat, as he expressed it.
1t is perhaps unnecessary to add
that | prescribed a change Of treat

One of the clerks in the Hoboken
postoiice was sorting the western
mail the other day when he uttered a
shrek and sprang high in the air. His
fellow clerks crowded around him to
ascertain the cause of his agitation,
but before he could speak a queer
looking creature popped out OF the
pouch he had dropped and began hop
ping about the room.
Some of the more venturesome OF
the clerks caught the queer animal
and took it to Postmaster Schroeder,
who pronounced it to be a horned
