Is to vote for the Mckinley electors.

appointed. With the Addicks delega-

cannot be trusted. and will not listen

Chinese Methods.

The Chinese way of telling time is
the oddest of all. Some travellers in
China asked farm lad whom they
met on the road II it was yet noon.
He looked up ut the sky to see what
progress the sun had made. but there
We're clouds in the way. Then he ran
TO the farm and soon returned with n
surprised looking cat in his arms.
Pushing up her eyelids, he said that
the morning was not yet ended.
This was a great puzzle to the
strangers, who could see no connec-
ton between cats eyes and the time
of day, and, going on the farm, they
asked the inmates TO explain the mat
ter.
The Cinnamon thought their visitors
woefully ignorant, but they obligingly
hunted up all the cats in the neigh
borhood and. having caught three or
four. showed that the pupils of their
eyes narrowed by degrees until 12
o'clock. when they became merely a
hair line extending perpendicularly
across the eye. The noon mark once
crossed. they as slowly dilated again.
While not disputing the facts of the
case. the travellers decided that, as
you had first to catch your cat, and
then examine its eyes against its Will,
this method took a great deal of time
to find out what o'clock it was.

TEACHERS FROM CUBA.
Ono Thousand of Them to Take Sum
mer Course.

One Thousand of Them to Take sum-
mer Course.
Upon the arrival here of Alexis e.
Frye, superintendent of schools in
Cuba. who now is on his way to Bos-
ton, plans will be completed for the
coming here of 1000 Cuban school
teachers for a summer course of in
struction at Harvard college, says the
Boston Transcript. The project is
novel one and is greatly favored by
President Eliot, who, when Mr.. Frye
arrives, will cooperate heartily with
him in bringing the matter to sue
cessful issue. President Eliot finds
that one possible obstacle which had
been considered can be readily over
come, and that is finding enough in
structors at Cambridge competent to
teach by means of the Spanish tongue
the courses which may be arranged.
for it is doubted If many of the thou
sand teachers to come will be able to
understand English well enough to un-
dertake the varied studies in the Eng
lish language. 1t is probable that
some proportion of the Cuban teachers
will understand English, even though
they may not be able to speak it. but
just what this proportion is can be
learned only when Mr.. Frye reaches
here. Some of the visitors may be able
to take the usual prescribed summer
courses. while for the majority there
will be arranged special courses within
their ability to benefit therefrom, han
dicapped as they may be in the matter
of language. President Eliot. in speak
ing today of the plan, said that it
should be productive of much good.
and II the suggestion can be carried out
successfully, so that the teachers visit
the principal cities of the United States
from the east to the far west while in
this country. also visiting many uni
versities, the teachers are sure to re-
turn to their native country with many
advantages gained from study and OBJ
servation of educational. social and
other conditions of this country.

At Almond Blossoms home you can

They gave up searching for her after

When the fifth day came they had

They would have been Mortified at
the familiarity of Sum See with his
Greatness If they could have known,
but she said nothing of her conclaves

The food for the departed spirit had
