Portland Express: n good deal Of at
tention was paid during the session of
the Maine Pedagogical Society in Lew
iston. this week. to the rural schools of
the State. 1t is subject which at this
time ought to receive attention. What
ever the teachers may think of the
question it is certain that the rural
schools of Maine are not doing the
work for the rising generation that
was done by the schools of
a generation ago. Inquiry which
has been made among the rural
districts where these schools used to
now, shows that the people who are
affected by the present school district
laws, lay the blame to the fact that the
old system has been done away with.
and there has been q consolidation
with the intention of bettering condi-
tons, which. SO those most nearly
affected by the law claim, has made
conditions worse than they have ever
been before. In one town in Maine
which is probably a fair sample of the
agricultural towns, not more than two
schools have been in session at any
time during the past year. The school
money. which is small enough at best,
is used in part for the transportation
Of pupils to adjoining villages, where
tuition is paid by the school committee
Of the town in which the scholars re-
side. The th,-ory is that the village
schools are better graded and capable
of doing better work than could be
done in the rural districts. This theory
is combated by those who remember
the work of the older schools, and who
sigh for the good old days. 1t is q
problem requiring the highest wisdom
to settle. 1t is certain that a great
amount of dissatisfaction exists over
the arrangement, and if it is to be con-
tinued campaign Of education
among the doubters should be COM
menced at once.

Those who have an idea that island
subsistence should have seen the con-
dition of the carcass of a sheep which
was raised on Hickey island, near
Little Kennebec, and killed and
brought to Machias, Monday. by the
owner. This sheep, when killed, was
minus front teeth, she having wealth
cred the storms of Is winters. yet not
withstanding these unfaVorable con-
ditions. through her great age, the car
cass tipped the scale at so pounds and
looked as toothsome as would that Of
a much younger animal even had it
been raised on the main land and fed
from the crib.

1t is a matter Of congratulation that
efforts are to be made to improve the
divorce laws of the State. While
Maine does not suffer the scandals that
are 50 frequent in other states on ac-
count of laXity of divorce laws, yet
there is too much of that business be-
fore our courts. The move that is be
ing taken by Il committee consisting of
three of Names best lawyers, an out
line of whose work was given in the
Express, last night, is a move in
the right direction. 1t is to be hoped
that the Legislature Will take this
matter up and make it less easy to get
a divorce than it is at present. Fraud,
it is feared. often enters into divorce
cases. Collision between parties may
not be prevented, perhaps, but the
proposition now under consideration
will help matters a good deal.

The Waterville Mail remarks in pass
ing that the newspapers Will not select
President Buffers successor, that be-
ing matter reserved to the trustees
of the college. In connection with the
subject, it is interesting to reflect that
if Mr.. Rockefeller's pet institution is
to grab a Colby president or professor
every other thing, it is certainly but
proper that the distinguished Baptist
millionaire should try to make amends
by giving Colby his income for day
or two. THAT would give the college an
endowment that it needs and that
would do infinitely more good than the
same amount could piled on top of the
amounts he has already lavished on
the University of Chicago.

 The most interesting portion or Russia's gr,eat l,0a0-ntile railway is the steam ferry aaaoss Lake Baikal in central Siberia. Ihe iake says the London sphere has aa extent of over thirteen thousand square miles. and

It is sur- rounded by some ef the hardest noun tains whien a railway engineer could encounter. The official plan of the Ifanssiberian railway includes 8 rail- way round the southern end of the fake, 10 connect the two lake shore tefminl. but the enormous difficulty and expense, which is an important matter to Russia at the present time, of constructing such q line conspire to Indefinitely postpone it's completion. At present, therefore, the vta vay is broken in two by this huge Lake Bai- kal, the western shore terminus be- ing at Baranshiki. and the eastern at MisoYaga To link the two ends with 2 steam ferry which would be able to break through the ice winch covers the ake from the middle of December to May was doubtless suggested by the eXcetiant work of the Yermak ice breaker in the Baltic Sir William Armstrong, Whitworth & Co, of New castle Were the constructors of the eEmak, and to the order of the Rus sian government, they constructed {. second and larger ice-Dreaken. which WAS christened the BaikaI The parts of the vessel were put toget&ar on the Snores of the lake by the ii439s'5 en- slaeers. IL is curious that railway hrs5 suggested to the BGss#,. govern ment by an EngIisEm&n aaaui.j owe It's most vital part to an EnelIsh irm he Baikal has three iinys of rails !ald upon her main deck to carry one Passenger and two goods tlainS across the lake. The trains enter the ice 5rcakef at the bow, which IS ran ur a8alnst pier, The rails are connect cd and the trains run into the vessel. With this load she will crush her way through three feet of ice at a speed of thirteen knots an hour A screw at a bow with separate engine sucks away tic water from underneath the ice at the bow, which thus splits from it's own weight; the two stubby bladed propellers at the stern at tAe same time force the vessel through the bro ken ice sheet. 9he actual track of the Baikal measures thirty-nine miles. There is a harbor and lighthouse at the southwestern end of the lake, but there is no dock where the Baikal could be repaired in case of need. At present, therefore, Russia's 4,000-nile railway is absolutely dependent for through journey on the reliability of Rritishbuild railway ferry.

How to Wash the Baby

As rule ,abies should be washed oy hand. Machine-washed babies do not mature so rapidly and being rub
 bed on a washboard is likely to wear holes in the baby. The baby should De put to soak over night in lukewarm water in which has been dissolved a handful of soap powder. This takes the place of the old-fashioned way of leaving him in a washboiler on the stove for three or four hours, and saves much labor. In the morning, alter rlnsing in three waters, add a httle ball blue to the last and pass the oaDy quick through it. Too much oIueing is Ii to give the baby d iaded look. We do not think that paoles should be put through the Mflhger too soon after washing. Bet ter results are obtained by hanging ,aem on the line at once. if it oe a sunny day. Otherwise they may pe hung up before the kitchen fire, aAd when thoroaeaz dry. starched anu lfoned at yo. Eenience.

Northern Presbyterlans to Revise Creed.

Tho Assembly of Northern Presbyte-
rians, now in session at Philadelphia.
have decided to revise the creed of that
faith. Practically the revision is to be
made as concession to conscientious
otiice holders, minister's, elders and dea-
cons who arc disturbed by some of the
doctrines and certain phrases in some of
the chapters of tho Westminster confes-
sion, and for tho purpose of furnishing a
new doctrnal statement of the reformed
faith for the million members in the
church not office holders, who wish to
know what tho church believes without
having to depend on tho antiquities of
the confession of faith.
IN short, while revision will aim at a
clear and unmistakablo Interpretation of
tho confession of faith, at the samo time
it will probably introduce somo modifi-
cations in the REORGANIZATION, infant sal
vation and other fundamental doctrines
of the church. At first the proposition
to revise encountered stubborn opposi-
ton, but as tho sentiment of tho majority
of the Assembly became known and tho
necessity for revision emphasized by
somo of the clcarest speakers, this oppo-
sltlon melted away and the proposed
changes wore agreed to almost unani-
mously. So frequent and searching have
been the attacks made on ethe Westmin-
ster document, and 80 great has been
tho uncertainty and lack of harmony
oven among the orthodox, that the final
decision excited universal satisfaction.
