Little has been said. and probably
as little thought. of the beneficent
work done by the railroads in aiding
and promoting the measures set on
foot for the relief Of stricken Gal
weston. Thousands of refugees from
that city received free transportation
to any part of the country. and i'm
mense quantities of supplies were
rushed forward without charge. This
ready response to the cry of human
needs characterized all the great rail
way systems of the country. the ex-
press. telegraph and telephone COM
panies. The cash value of the serv-
ices thus rendered is as impossible
to estimate as the amount of human
suffering and misery they helped to
alleviate.

The cobs are first crushed and then sat- urated with a highly inflammable ma- terial, composed partly of rosin. Then they are compressed and afterwards sawed into blocks.

WHEN CHILDREN LEARN BEST.
Prof. sedley on the Results of 1000
 Tests in Chicago Public Schools.

Chicago Journal.
 When the down begins to sprout on the boys upper lip and the shy maiden first learns to blush-thats when the pupil shows the greatest aptitude for learning. At least Prof. F. W. Smed- ley says so and he ought to know, for he bases his assertion-so poetically stated-on 1000 tests conducted by him in the child study department of the publtc schools. These tests covereo the height, weight, vital capacity. ner- yous energy and strength of pupils.
 "The whole physical, mental and moral future of children depends on their training during the early-&aoles- cent period" said the Professor. as he made trackings on his zigzag charts. "Ir is then they show the greatest apt itude for learning. With the depar- ture of the plastic period their charac- ters have been formed We are point ing out that the very best educative influences should surround the pupils at this stage rather than at any other period of their careers"
 During the tests 1t was found that Chicago has one schoolboy feet 6 inches in height, and he Is only 19 years of age. The other extrema was 4 feet II inches, at the same age.
 The importance of the investigation will be urged on the Board of Educa- tion and teachers may be asked to adapt studies and other requirem >nts to the capacity of the pupils at :his age
 The only school thus far in Chicago which has acted on Professor S;neu- ley's theory Is the Lake View II:tel School. There the studies have bet n made elective, so that the stronger pupils may not be ha:nDe:ed nor the weaker ones forced by the same course. The principal declares the syst' m las worked admirably.
