A COLLECTIVE NAME.
Herein Is a Sensible and Simple SO- IutiOn of Problem of
 Long Standing.

'Every once in awhile comes a de- mand from some one for a collective name for the United States, but con- gress pays no attention to such de- mands, and the people seem very well satisfied with the present designation of our country, although it does some times produce awkward expressions in the way of derivatives" said the man on the South side car, according to the Chicago Inter Ocean. "To avoid this, the word America is generally substi- tuted for United States, although the name properly belongs to the whole continent, and Canadians, MeXicans, Cubans, etc, have the same right to be called Americans as we have.
 "Such names as Columbia, Usonia, etc, have been selected as such col- lective names, but it would appear that we have a better name right in the initials of United States, and which are in such common use as to be fa- miliar to all.
 'Why not call the country Us? The name is short, expressive, and has a sort of Biblical sound quite pleasing to the ear. It rhymes with fuss, buss, cuss, muss and numerous other words existing or coinable, and could not be mistaken for any other country. It has an egotistic sound, and significance rather pleasing to the average citizen, and would, no doubt, be readily accept able. The people would be either Usites or Usses, or perhaps Usians, and the collective name cranks would be silenced."

WHAT TO TEACH CHILDREN.
Time Wasted by the Young in Acquir- ing SmatterinG of Superflu-
 Ous Subjects,

The cramming process of common school educa a little of everything and nothing thoroughly has not been carried so far in Eng land as it is here, but there is a growing demand there for more at- tention to fundamentals and less to filigree work, says the New York World. Ruskin's dictum is quoted with approval:
 ''In our training-schools the main subjects should be:
 q. The laws of health and the ex- ercises enjoined by them.
 ''2. Habits of gentleness an" jus- tice.
 "3. The calling by which the *chol- ars are to live.'
 The three R's" appear to be taken for granted. A writer in the Soecta- tor protests that 'the amount of time wasted by the young in aequir- ing a smattering of subjects which will never be of any practical use is deplorable." He approves of cook ing as proper and important ad- junct of the early education of girls, and joinery and the use of tools as part of the boys early training. urg- ing that ''some kinds of work child can scarcely begin too young"
 Our cooking, sewing and manual schools are all departures in the right direction, but there is not & quaryer enough of them, and they need to be broadened in scope and improved in equipment. Most of our professional teachers have yet to learn, or at least to apply the knowl- edge, that education means the "lead- of them; not simply cramming his head with things that are largely useless.

BAND MUSIC BY PHoNoGP 4pH.
Only the General Effect of the Origf- nal Music Can Be Re-
 produced.

The newest invention in the line of phonograph improvements is an ap- paratus for recording orchestral and band music in a manner superior to any method hitherto employed, it's es- sential feature consisting in the use of a large number of recorders, one of each musical instrument, reports the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
 Ordinarily, the method adopted is to seat the band in small-sized room, all of it's members facing toward a series of huge gaping tunnels, each of which is attached to the recorder of photograph. A man, who directs the performance, goes to each of the tunnels in turn, and speaks into them, one after another, the words of the formal introduction which always pre- cedes the music. When this has been done, a signal is given, and the phono- graph cyiineders having been started revolving all together, the musicians begin to play. The director of opera tions gives notice by raising his fin- ger just when the cylinders are about to be exhausted, and the band stops at the next suitable pause.
 Now, anybody who has heard a band or orchestral 'selection" rendered by the photograph must have marveled greatly at the completeness of the reproduction. Nevertheless, it is not musically accurate or perfect, and could hardly be expected to be so, con- sidering the extremely complex char acter of the sound vibrations given out by so many instruments played simul- taneously. As a matter of fact. only the general effect of the original music is reproduced, the predominating in- struments being recognizab ble at inter: vals.
 The newly-patented contrivance above referred to utilizes three or more huge cylinders, each a foot or IS inches in diameter. To the surface of each cylinder are attached, at regu- lar intervals along it's length, record CTS of the usual kind. Each musician has a recorder for himself exclusively, to which a long tube connected with a big funnel is attached. He toots, or fiddles, into horn No. 1, while the per- former next him plays into horn No. ?, and so on, each member of the band having his own funnel and his own recorder, with his own private space on a cylinder.
 While the playing is going on the cylinders revolve synchronously, mak- | ing perhaps 40 records for as many | different instruments. With six rec- ords to a cylinder, the performance of 36 instruments may be recorded on i half dozen cylinders. When the mu- sic is to be reproduced all of the cyln- | ders are set going at once, and they grind, out the music exactly as it was given to them originally, no one of the instruments interfering with the l others, but all of them blending har- moniously. In short, the performance | is exactly like that given by the band just as loud, and as complete in all | reSnectS
