EXPENSIVE TARGET PRACTICE.
It Costs Over $500 to Fire a Twelve Inch Gun. and They Often
 Miss the Mark.

A single big gun of the many now be- ing put in place for the protection Of seacoasts costs a large sum. Some in< teresting figures on this subject have just been submitted, says the Scientific American.
 A 12-inch breech-Ioading rife. with its disappearing carriage. costs sI41.- 900; ten-inch breech-loader. $99 .25O. and an eight-inch. S72,0r" The figures show that modern high-Lvwered guns cost great sums, and the cost of firing them is proportionately large.
 The report of experts who have in- spected these guns and the devices for securing an accurate aim shows that great saving is effected by modern range-fnding and position-fnding de- vices.
 "The demoralfzing effect of a ait ss compared to miss" said one of these reports, cannot be reduced to money value but it costs big money to shoot a big gun and then miss the mark.
 "Take, for example, the 12-ineh gun. To miss the mark is simply to throw away s561.7O. With the ten-ineh gun the loss is s322.4O, and with the eight. inch rife # is SfGt6s}'

Enrolment And Graduation.
Written by James n. David for the
w. Va. Schnol journal.

Written BY James n. David for the
W.. Va. Schu0l Journal.
There lisa constant cry that more
pupils should complete the course OF
study in our common schools, and 1t
is an end to be desired. But after all,
perhaps they do rs well rs our second
AIRY schools and higher institutions OF
learning. Just what per cent. Of the
pupils whoenroll in the public schools
ever complete the course isyery hard
to ascertain. Some drop out and go
to work. Some enter the higher
schools.
Ina catalogue issued by one OF our
leading Normal schools, ! find that
the total enrolment since the found
ing of the school as given is 6669, total
number OF graduates 457, or less than
Z per cent.of the enrolment In the
last seven years the total enrolment
is 1897, total graduates lis, not quite
8 per cent. Of the total enrolment. A
few years ago in a catalogue OF the
West Virginia University ! found the
graduates to be only about 4per cent.
of the total enrolment; perhaps they
do better now. In cataloguesof other
institutions both In this State and In
other States, find about the same
averages.
Why is this ? In some instances 1t
may arise from stupidity or diSsipa-
tion. But most OF it comes because OF
the operation OF an old law, older than
schools and colleges, whichsays tIn
the sweat ofthy face shalt thou eat
bread till thou return unto the
ground.n The mass Of mankind must
ever be toilers and not scholars, and
no man can ever be scholar who is
not toiler Smattering Of many
things in our common schools should
be abandoned and u few fundamental
branches should be thoroughly taught
and thus awaken the desire to see
new truths as they are presented. The
dignity Of manual labor should be in
culcated: spirit OF contentment en-
couragcd.
'sThe noblestmen who live on earth,
Are men whose hands are brown with
toll
They wear upon their honest brows.
The royal stump and seal Of God.
And worthierar their drops ofsweat,
Than diamonds In a coronet.

No Let Up
On The Quarantine
W. & Pitts. Passenger Trains
Must Stay out Health Officer
Suspended.

The council IN SpeclaI session tIl-
day night acted as an advisory board
to the special committee on the
smallpox situation. That afternoon
there came down from Weston on a
special train to confer with our Of.
ticals delegation Of Lewis county =
prominent citizens composed Of A. NJ.
Lane, Mayorof Weston w. L. Dun
nington, Andrew Edmiston, Louis
Bennett, Charles 0'Haro, A. II.
Kunst, Jacob koblcgard, DIR. Warder,
E. G. DAVIDSON, Mr.. Galley and j. S.
vandervort, representing the Lewis
county and Town Of Weston health
boards. A conference was held be-
tween this delegation and Mayor
Spates, City Attorney Harmer and
our smallpox committee in the i. y
o. baggage room. The mission of the
Weston delegation was to induce our
officials to raise the quarantine
against the passenger trains between
Clarksburg and Weston. They called
attention to the fact that Lewis
county had established a very rigid
quarantine against UpShur. Braxton
and Webster counties, and that no
oncfrom those counties would be per-
mitted to pass through Lewis county.
They argued that this would be suf-
ticlent protection to Clarksburg from
those sections. The committee
promised the Westongentlemen that
they would lay the matter before the
city council and accordingly did SO
Friday night.
The city health officer was called In
for consultation, but the council dis
regarded all his orders, among which
was the placing of guards at every
public highway leading into the city.
He went SO far as to instruct the
chief of police to take a list of the
men whom he wished to have placed
as guards and named few of them.
1t soon became apparent to the coun-
Gil that he was not in condition to
discharge the duties Of his office and
upon Council Swagers motion he was
suspended indefinitely.
The council after reviewing the
smallpox situation thoroughly decided
not to raise the quanntine against
the w. Va. s. Pitts. division and ac-
cordingly adopted motion that the
acts Of the committee be approved.
1t was resolved that the special
health committee shall act during the
suspension of the health officer OF the
city, and said committee shall have
power to appoint health officer dur
ing such suspension and direct the
chief Of police to place such guards
upon the roads leadingto the city as
may be necessary to protect its citi-
zens from the smallpox that is now
surrounding the city, and that the
chiefof police make report to the
council at each regular meeting, Of
his acts and expenses hereunder.
The Lewis county quarantine
against Webster, Upshur and Braxton
counties prohibits any one from those
counties coming into or passing
through Lewis county, 1t further
provides that none but one freight
train with mail car and coboose at
tached may run each day, but under
the restriction that none of the train
crew be permitted to leave the train
at any infected point, and have no
close communication with any person
at infected points. 1t also provides
