CRUELTY TO PUPILS.
Close Confinement and Overstudy
Are Responsible for Impaired
Health of Many.

Anent recent reports of the broken
down health OF some of the pupils Of
the girls high school of Brooklyn, in
consequence of the close confinement
and overstudy our attention has been
attracted to the report of discussion
at Il recent meeting of the board of
education OF Somervillc, Mass, of
Which board Drs. George \. Miles and
Alvah b. Dearborn are members.
The discussion was provoked by the
majority and minority reports of the
committees on rules upon the order
Oh Dr. Miles, introduced at the pro
vlous meeting, asking that the rules
be amended to restrict home Studies
IN the grammar schools to pupils Of
the ninth grade. Home studies are
now given in the seventh. eighth and
hh'h grades. The majority report
favored the change.
The minority report, presented by
MI Jones, said such a change would
involve Il revision Of the course Of
study; that most pupils between the
ages OF l. and II needed home study.
IN the case of many, to keep them ont
OF mischief; with dull pupils to keep
them up with the others; also to fix
the habit of study.
Dr' Miles said he had no desire to
crlllcise the schools or the teachers.
he simply criticised the course of
study at present in vogue. He was
convinced that the pupils are being
oVerworked; that they are forced f,
learn great deal in a short time

DIS they learn. They have to study

BOY Who Lives Next Door.
The boy who lives next door
Has freckles on his face;
His ears are red and hang
Away out into space.

And see it flee in terror,
Can quickly guess the cause

Poor little victim knows

He runs across the lawn
I've nursed with jealous care,
And, in the summer time,
Knocks down the flowers there,
1t seems to give him pure delight
To yell around with all his might,
And every week Or so
pebble finds it way
Against a light of glass
For which have to pay.
He has no teeth in front,
His hands are cracked and brown,
Twice he has nearly burned
Our summer kitchen down.
He calls to people: Hey, Watch

And when they jump he whoops

Would take him from below
Up to the sky, I'd try
To bravely bear the blow.
The little child whose love
Is all to me, one day
Was stricken suddenly
When l was far away
The boy who lives next door forgot
To yell around, but ran and brought
The doctor to the bed.
And when I came, at last
Shrank from me with a look
OF pity as l passed.

Brought in his tops and gun.
And pocketsful of trash
To please our little one;

Turned cartwheels and stood on his

America
NIAGARA POWER HOUSE.
A Twentieth Century Wonder to Be
Seen by Visitors to the Pan-Amer
lean Exposition.

One of the thoroughly interesting
side trips to be enjoyed in connection
with visit to the Pan-American Ex-
position will be a trip to Niagara Falls
to view the wonderful installation in
the big power house of the Niagara
Falls Power company. 1t is this sta
ton that will supply the electric en-
ergy to be used on the Exposition
grounds, and an inspection OF it will
bring the visitor IN touch with the
most marvellous electrical power
development of the present time.
The power house proper is a
beautiful stone building nearly 500
feet long, The front section is oc-
cupied by the company's offices, and
to the rear stretches the one story
section known as the dynamo room.
Beneath this room there is great
slot, over 400 feet long and 179 feet
deep, cut out of the solid rock. It
IS this slot, or wheel pit, that forms
the home of the 10 powerful turbines
that give power to the generators in
the station These turbines are each
OF 5000 horse power capacity, and
they are connected to the dynamos by
a tube shaft which extends to the
wheel-pit. The construction is such
that the weight of the shaft and the
revolving parts of the dynam Is
practically float upon the water that
passes through the turbine. The
weight of these parts is many thous-
and pounds, all adjusted with such
nicely that there is but the least pos
sible friction.
The water that supplies the tur-
bines is taken from the inlet canal
connected with the upper Niagara
river. This canal is l.45O feet long.
100 feet wide at the tail end and 1870
feet wide at the entrance It's nor
mai depth of water is Il feet. Pass
ing from the inlet canal, the water
goes into the penstock and is car
ried down the wheel-pit upon the tur-
bines, the head being about 1856 feet.
After passing through the turbines
and developing power, the water flows
into the big tunnel tal-race. This
tunnel is $500 feet long 1t reaches
from the power house to the lower
Niagara river, where the stream of
water that flows from it may be seen
lntersecting the river under the upper
steel arch bridge just below Prospect
Park, The tunnel passes under
the main part of the city of Niagara
rails at depth of about 200 feet. IN
dimensions the tunnel is is feet 10
inches wide and 81 feet and "A quarter
inches high. Its form is that of horse
shoe and from end to end it is lined
with four courses of vitrified brick
IN order to insure permanency.
1t is this station that will be the
great powerhouse of the Pan-Amer-
lean exposition. 1t is magnificent

THE COURT HOUSE BONDS,

Attorney General Donovan has GER
tainly taken the common sense view
of the courthouse bonds proposition.
His decision applies particularly to
the Silver Bow county case, but as the
conditions are the same in this county
the ruling applies here with equal
force.
Mr.. Donovan takes the ground that
it was the intention of the legislature
to facilitate public improvements
not to hamper them as the support
ers of the AL the votes cast" view
of the situation would have us be-
lieve. If Il voter has not interest
enough in a bonding proposition to
cast his vote for or against it,
his Indifference should not operate to
defeat the Will of those who do take
interest, and decide by their votes
that the purpose for which the issue
of bonds is proposed is for the gener-
al good.
Doubtless, the commissioners will
now go ahead ana advertise the bonds
for sale and it remains to be seen if
the bond buyers will be content with
the attorney generals opinion as to
the validity of the bond issue. AS the
Bee has pointed out heretofore, the
attorney generals opinion has not the
force and effect Of court decision,
and it is entirely likely that before
the bonds are sold they will have to
be backed up by supreme court de-
cision. Capital is proverbially timid
and if there is shadow of a doubt
about the bonds legality they are
not likely to find ready purchasers.

THROWING AWAY LAND.

A contemporary rips up the entire
land system of the country, especially
the practice of endowment by dona-
tions of land, in the statement that
the State University was endowed by
the proceeds of the sales of 80 sections
(160 acres each) of lands granted to
the state, which having been sold, yield
an income of but $135,0OO, whereas the
university requires $4,000.
Our contemporary adds that had
these sections of land been leased in
stead of sold. they would now yield an
income of $524.000. In other words,
values which would have supported
the university and left surplus of
$4,000, have been, to the extent of
nearly three-fourths, given away to
SPECTATORS. Had this city, at the be-
ginning of American occupation, leased
its public lands, instead of throwing
them away by sale, there would now be
an income from them of more than
triple the amount Of our taxes. which
would have enabled the city and coun-
ty not only to have constructed. owned

WIN on ar.phophone cylinder.

after the funeral his heirs looked vain
ly for the will, but without success. A
few days later a young man, seeing a
graphophone on the table in the IL
brary, put into 1t record which he
supposed was that Of popular Rus
sian song. To his amazement and ter
ror, instead of song he heard the
dead mans voice recite the words OF
the missing will. The heirs were noti-
fed OF the discovery, lawyers were
summoned, and the question then
arose whether a will left on graphic
phone cylinder would be deemed valid
by the courts. This question is now
before the supreme court Of st. Peters

Recently, during a trial in one OF
our courts, 1t became necessary Tor the
Judge himself to question a witness,
and the following colloquy took place:
Judge-Are you married man?
Witness-No.
J.-Have you any one depending on
you for support.
W.-Yes; a large number OF them.
J.-Are they disabled physically or
mentally from supporting themselves?
VINO; they are fully as able as
to support themselves
J.-Then why do you support these
able-bodied persons?
W.-Because the customs and ar
rangements of our present state OF So
ciety force me to.
J.-These persons, doing no manner
of useful work, and you poor man,
having but your labor, are compelled
to give part of it to them?
W.-Yes; | am forced to divide by
giving them three-fourths of what
produce.
J.-Is there no way to get rid Of
these human leeches?
W.-Not at once; for nearly all So
ciety especially these leeches, as you
call them, insist that this Is a natural
state of affairs, and has always exist
ed; they are eternally ding-donging in
my ears that, were 1t not for these
leeches, / could not work at all, and
death would Immediately overtake r..
But in the near future we'll be able %
rid ourselves Of them, when they'll
have to live off their own sweat.
J.-If you should die would not the
leeches have to work
Won, no; they hold in reserve
vast number who are about to be over
taken by death from enforced idleness
and they would think 1t God-sent
privilege to toll in support Of these
leeches.
J.-Would you please give me the
name and address of these leeches?
W.-Though it is solely from my
labor that their lives are made a con-
tinual round of pleasure, still they
have the brutal ingratitude to refuse
to live in the same locality as myself.
and often they will not condescend to
live in the same country; and as my
constant toll enables them at their
pleasure to change their climate, seem
cry and society, l can not give you
their permanent address. For apparent
reasons they do not want to be known
by their real names, but insist on be-
ing known by their nom de plumes.
J.-But what are their names in
fact, l am going to have them ar
raigned before the bar Of justice, these
ravagers of society.
W.-Their names are CAPITAL
lists.
J.-Mr. Sheriff, hustle this witness
out of the court room; he's Populist.

VIII Paper Mil Enploy.s Strike,


Reports that strikes are expected In
the majority of the LOO paper mills OF
the country are denied by both repre-
sentative paper manufacturers and
workmen. The rumor, 1t is said, grew
out of the fact that officers OF the Pa
per Makers union have recently Or
ganized the employees of many mills
and the latter are asking for slight
concessions as to hours. In 80 per cent
of the paper mills of the country 1t Is
said that the employees work seven
days a week in shifts OF twelve hours
each. Many manufacturers have been
asked to close down Sundays, but this
is objected to on the ground that II
would cut down the production one
sixth. Wages range from $1.5O to 81
a day. 1t is said that there never mas
been a strike of paper mill employees.
The employees have union with a
large membership and have adopted a
union label.-Chicago American.

The leaders of the real Democratic
party today are men who are doing
for America what the Hebrew prophets
did for the Jewish nation. These
prophets" says the great Jewish
scholar, Darmesteter, "were men to
whom justice was an active force. The
idea of right was converted by them
into fact before which all other
facts pale. By virtue of believing In
justice they advanced 1t to the rank
of a factor in history. They taught
many to live and die for the right with
cut the hope of Elysian fields. They
taught the people that without ideals
the future hangs before them. in tat
tcrs.' That the ideal alone is the aim
of life, and that it consists not In the
glory of the conqueror, nor in riches
nor in power, but in holding up as
torch to the nations the example OF
better laws and Of higher SOUL"
