orders the concentration of 81 5000
Turkish troops on the Bulgarian from
tier near Kustendil." says the Constan-

Mail.
This measure is taken on the advice
of the ministry Of war, owing to the
agitation of the revolutionary commit
tee in Macedonia. which is assuming
the form Of brigandage on a large
scale.
Prince Ferdinand opposes the opera
lions Of the Macedonian committee,
but is believed to be powerles1 TO stop
them, and there is no doubt hat SYM
pathizers in Bulgaria are providing the
promoters of the revolution with arms.
Numerous arrests of armed Bulga-
rians in Macedonia have been made,
among them Bulgarian officers, priests
and merchants. All prove to be ac-
complies Of the revolutionary move
ment."

ENLARGING IDEAS FROM EX-

ions in the past from English and north
ern sources that were not favorable 10
this commingIing. Now the view Is be-
ing extended 20 b young children. A
! scientific study of 1000 children has
been educating IN a way to cause the
old opinion to be questioned as TO its
soundness. Mr.. Edward Marshall. in
Frank Leslie's popular monthly, writes
that from a scientific examination of
1000 children sit has been found that
quite as much depends upon physical
development as upon the mental caliber
OF school children. In fact. the inves-
coordinate. Admitting. as in every
other generalization. that there are
many exceptions to the rule, it has
been proved hat the strong child is
the bright child in school.
Secondly, it has been found that a Sc
rious difference exists between girls
and boys in mental capacity. That's so
great that it may lead eventually to
the abandonment Of the education OF
the w x in common"
Other writers have shown that the
end sought and the results secured in
the education Of women are very diff
ferent from those that pertain to man.
English writer's on education insist
pom this most strenuously. Unless,
of h men in all departments OF learn
ing and human endeavor their educa-
ton must in man particulars be diff
ferent from that Of the men who are

latest scheme of robbery is to get the
