 "The state needs to have its system of education brought to the highest stand ard. This can be best done by displays at the fair, made by city and county boards of education, our high schools, colleges and universities, so as to give some demonstra- tion of their methods and school govern- ment, together with the general conduct and management of their several schools. Tn this connection we need, also, models of school buildings and attractive displays of school apparatus, libraries, and all the general appliances used in our schools, so there may be a satisfactory examination and final acceptance and commendation of the best. Good schools make the basis of the best citizenship.
 Again, we need to have our raw material manufactured within the limits of the state. If by displays at the fair, We can see how much of this is now being done and the lines pursued, we can then know how much remains to be accomplished and the best way to get at doing it. We ought to have on display, at least, a sample of ev- erything manufactured in Alabama, from well bucket to steam engine. Such a display will help the manufacturer and largely benefit the state.
 "Especially do we need to have our agri- cultural conditions advanced, and the rural districts of the state thereby brought into better material prospects Possibly, we need to stress this feature more than any other single interest, as all other businaos rests thereon. If farming. along any or several lines, can be demonstrated to be satisfactorily profitable, the management of the fair and the public-spirited people who cooperate with them will be far more than compensated for the efforts they put forth for the common good If this end Is, in any measure, to be accomplished by dis plays of products that pay, together with detailed statement of cost and sale, farmers will have something to study to profit.

 During the past six months he has jed an unrelenting war on gamblers and other lawbreakers in this city and mas made a reputation which any chief of police might look to with pride.
 Following are the names of the officers belonging to the Birmingham police force:
 c. W. Austin, chief; William E. Weir, captain; J. B. Donelson, lieutenant; John Rowlett, desk sergeant; J. IT. Mingea, pa trol driver Patrolmen and mounted of- ficers-J. S. Johnson, w. J.

 Though Birminghan's police force cannot at present compare with that of other cities from numerical standpoint it is expected that twenty more men will be allowed in the near future. This would still give only one-fourth as many as the city of Atlanta. From an efficient standpoint some of the officers on the Birmingham force cannot be surpassed, for bravery and strict ad- herence to duty.

Extraordinary Railrosd Traffic

From the New York World.
 Steel rails are now $S3 ton. This is from $10 to $15 a ton higher than the ave- rage price during the last eight or ten years.
 Yet contracts have already been made for a million and a half tons to be delivered in 1900, or -fourths of the total produc- tion in 1892 or in any year since. Manifest ly the rolling mills are to be taxed to the utmost during the coming year, in spite or the excessive price; manifestly the railroads feel compelled to buy thus largely by reason of an enormously increased traffic, when they confidently expect to continue.
 Of this latter fact we have an indication in the New York Centrals issue of $l5,0O0,- 900 of stock for the sole purpose Of buying the new locomotives and cars which in- creasing traffic pressingly demands We have another proof of 1t in the fact that east-bound shipments from Chicago during the five weeks ending October 21 amounted to 670 ,222 tons, against only 9O5,s77 tons for the corresponding period of last year, and only 350,71S tons for the corresponding weeks of the exceptionally prosperous year 1892. As railroad traffic depends wholly upon the general condition of the country, these facts and figures mean extraordlhary prosperity throughout the land.

small force available there is no city in the south, and few in the United States, whose departments can compare with the work done by the Birmingham police force.
 Possibly the greatest thing that could be said in behalf of this department is that it is more than self sustaining. The sur plus in fines and assessments from arrests made by the police net the city consider able amount every month. It is said on authority that the Birmingham police force makes half as many arrests in one month as any city in the south, when in some instances it only has a fifth or sixth as many men.
 There are very few men on the force who do not almost double their salaries in the fines assessed from their arrests.

THE THEATER IN JAPAN
The Best Placi to Go to Study the
 Natives
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
 The theaters are the very best places to study the Japanest, says Toledo corre- spondent of the Baltimore Sun. In many theaters the entire house is divided by rails int osquare pens four by four feet, intended for four Japanese but often containing half a dozen.. The men and women are barefoot, walk the marrow dividing rails to reach their reserved ''seats." The patrons kneel within these pens or, when there are no pms, they squat upon the floor in little circu- lar groups and smoke, eat drink, fan them- selves and chatter. Many come in and go out at random; children run to and fro. Frequently the spectators bring luncheon and pass the day within the theater, the play continuing uninterruptedly.
 The stage, which in some theater re- wolves to change scenes, has two detached projections three feet wide, extending among the audience. Upon these projec- tions the performers run, reciting and act ing.
 Their acting is sufficiently curious. A vil- lain slain walks off the stage, Jap mops with a dirty cloth the chief actors face while he is speaking. The prompter, dressed all in black (gown, hood and girdle), will follow the actor all around the stage. Other persons, also in black, run to and fro across the stage Those costumed in black are supposed to be invisible. Stage carpenters and helpers often stand upon the stage and gaze and laugh at the actors, and so on. The checking of the umbrellas and wooden scramble for them after the perofrmance are very amusing.

BIRMINGHAM'S FIRE AND
 POLICE DEPARTMENTS

In proportion to size there are probably no police or fire departments in any city in the United States superior to those of Bir- mingham.
 The forces of both these institutions are lamentably small, but the wonderful growth of the city has demanded an in- crease, and this will probably be granted before the dawning of another year.
 In this city of 50,0OO souls, at the lowest estimate, 2S firemen, including the chief, protect the city. In other cities of this size the number of firemen averages between fifty and seventy-five On account of this scarcity of firemen Birmingham is ranked
The age-herald., 1899-11-05

as third class city, and insurance rates accordingly high.
 The city is divided into two fire districts; the Southside and the Northside. The head quarters of the Northside department are located at Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street and there are on duty at this place the chief and fourteen men,
 The Southside headquarters are located at Avenue and Nineteenth street. Here there are thirteen men on duty. =
