FIVE HOURS WITHOUT wINKING.

| "
 In these days, when every means of
 livelihood is overcrowded, man who is
 the creator and only expert follower of
 profession is rare enough to be inter-
 esting. Such man is F. Howard Hill. | wax model man, who caused wondering
 attention and not few wagers by pos | ing in the window of a music store as
 an automatic piano player, and In a
 clothing store as an artificial form on which to show clothing. "When I was 14, which was twelve years ago" he
 said, yesterday, T began to pose for ar | lists. I then lived in Leicester, Eng land l made an exceptionally good model because I was able to stand per fectly still for so long a time. An ar tist told me if l would go to London I could earn fine living, for good med els were rare and in great demand. l ran away from home and was soon do- ing well in London. One day visitor
 to the studio where I was posing said:
 If it were not for your Winking no one
 could tell that you were alive That
 put the idea into my head, and began
 to practice holding my eyelids notion
 less. Winking. you know, sa natural
 involuntary act. A tear drop oozes from the lachrymal gland, and by the pass ing of the eyelid OCT the eyeball in
 winking, this drop is spread in a thin film OCT the ball, and protects it from the dust and direct contact of the air. When the lachrymal gland fails to act the dry eyeball becomes so painful that water has to be dropped into the eye.
 Tt was difficult to accomplish, but l finally succeeded, and can now stand for fife hours without winking. The first uarter of an hour is hardest to endure. The greatest difficulty is to keep the throat moist. l have absolute control of each muscle of the body separately, and what would be impossible to you has become, through training, perfectly natural and easy to me.
 Most of my practice, by the way was done in this country. I came over here and perfected my work, and then went back and gave exhibitions in Flu rope and England. I knew if I could 1 come back here as a European attrac- l lion I could demand better prices This l I found to be true, and l now make an | easy and more comfortable living, and l have many more offers than can fill. 1 I am perfecting new performance ! along the same line, which I will appear l here in next year. It is safe to say | that it will be a source of greater as- tonishment than the one I am doing | now" "-Chicago Tribune.

THE LYMAN M. LAW.
Floated off Yesterday and Proceeded
 oti Her Way

Floated off Yesterday and Proceeded
 oti Her Way.
 Ex-Lieutenant Governor James D. Dewell received telegram from Cap tain John E. Blake, of the four masted schooner Lyman M, Law, yesterday an nouncing that the big coaster had float ed off the point of Sandy Hook bar and was able to proceed to Boston for which port she was bound. The Law went aground during thick weather on Thursday afternoon and remained fast on the Hook all night At 10 o'clock at night an attempt was made to haul the schooner into deep water, but she would not budge and the effort to get her off was abandoned until high water yester- day morning
 The Law was bound from Philadel- phia to Boston with big cargo of coal aboard. The fact that she proceeded for the Hub immediately after indi- cates that she sustained no damage She is one of the best of the four masters hailing from this port. The Law belongs to the Sutton fleet, of which MT. Dewell is managing owner.

small school boards, and to put educa-
 ton under an authority which shall ex- ercise Jurisdiction over an entire coun. ty. It is the expectation that better class of men will volunteer for service on the equity boards than for the exist ing school boards in small areas; that the general level of education in the county will be raised; and that spirit or emulation between counties will be created, such as now exists in connec- ton with county administration. In the large towns the existing eschool boards which have long justified their existence will be left undisturbed These towns will be cut out of the counties for educational purposes, as at the present time all towns with popu- lations over fifty thousand are dissev- cred from the counties in matters of municipal government.
 At the present time school boards are concerned only with elementary educa- ton. Large sums are now paid out each year from the imperial treasury Tor technical education. This money is dispensed by the county councils, so
 
 elected authorities charged with public education, and much confusion, waste and overlapping are the result. The new authority to be created by the government bill is to take over all ed ucation paid for out of public funds, and thereby bring more simplicity and uniformity as we'll as efficiency into the education system.
 There will be some opposition to any new concessions to the Church of Eng land. Liberals would be glad to see the church discovered from the elementary school system. But the church has been part of the system for ninety years. It has become more interwoven with it since 1870; and it is hopeless to expect that a tory government, like that now in power will take any steps to the disadvantage of the church. This is generally realized, and most people who have given any thought to the subject, no matter what may be their attitude toward the church in ele- mentary education will prefer to see an end to the existing inequalities in ele- education, even though the CHuICH SiOulu gam new aQVantaRo. For an indefinite period to come, board schools and church schools must be of the educational economy of the coun- try. In thousands of villages none but church schools exist, and the present deficiencies in the church schools is loss. They handicap the chill dren in the rural communities, in a way which is felt when these children come into competition with those who have been educated in the board schools in the large towns. A general levelling up must almost of necessity follow a re- form like that the government is now and as some much need- ed changes in connection with technical and secondary education are also to be made, it is to be hoped that even the axigencies of war; and the demands it will make on the time and attention of parliament, will not endanger the bill 70 which the government is committed English Letter in the New York Ob- server.

CURIOUS GAME LAW DISCOVERY
A Close Season for Prairie Chickens in
 Connecticut

A Close Season for Prairie Chickens in
 Connecticut
 A curious game law case has been brought by game warden in the city of Waterbury where prominent mar ket owner has been arrested for selling prairie chickens, which have never been considered subject to Connecticut game laws, as they have never been know to live in the state. It is found, however, that in the codification of the gams laws by the last legislature in the term grouse are included ''ruf11ed grouse, partridge and every members of the grouse family"
 This brings prairie chickens under the law, the open season for grouse expir- ing on the last day of November, and the sale of grouse, moreover, being pro hibited in the state for two years. Mar ketmen have been selling prairie chick ems freely for several weeks, supposing they were not violating the law.

THE RIGHT WAY TO DRINK BEER

Very few men know how to drink beer so as to enjoy it properly" said prominent German. Beer is a deli cious drink, if used in the right way Most men guzzle it down like a dose of medicine. and all they get out of half pint of the beverage is sort of fare we'll taste that amounts to nothing. On the other hand, there are men who sip 1t so slowly that it becomes insipid and tasteless. To get the full benefit of a glass of beer, it should be drank in sev- eral swallows, with an interval between long enough to allow the taste of the first to evaporate from the palate be- fore the second Is taken. Drank in this way, beer is not only refreshing, but wholesome, and will not produce in- toxication. ."-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

DEATH OF U. s. SENATOR SEW
 ELL

Camden, N. J., Dec. Dec. 27.-United States Senator Sewell died at his home at 9:30 a. m. He suffered from diabetes complicated with stomach and heart trouble. Senator Sewell's illness had extended over a period of two years, but his condition was not serious un- til about a year ago. His constant at- tention to the duties Involving upon him in his official capacity resulted in 1899, in a collapse. A trip to Flu rope was beneficial to him and he re- covered sufficiently to resume his du- ties. Toward the end of the last ses- sion of congress he developed com plication of diseases and, acting on the advice of his physician, again visited various health resorts in Europe. Upon hs return, his condition showing no improvement, Senator Sewell went to Asheville, N. C., where he remained two months. He returned to his home about four weeks ago
