The shooting of a woman by her hus-
band, followed by his suicide, has become
so common a crime as to excite but a pass
ing horror. At least half a dozen such
cases have occurred in this city within a
year or two. Another was reported In yes
terday's Journal as taking place near Ma
rion. Hardly a day goes by that such a
corded. Blu the killing of two New York
business men by a third. all of them of
high professional and social standing. is a
new development of this all-too-prevalent
homicidal mania, and one to cause a Sc
rious inquiry as to the influences leading to
such tragedies. In some instances ii is
stated that the perpetrator of the deed had
been suffering from melancholia. In such
event this condition should have served as
due warning to intelligent friends and as
sociates. for suicidal and homicidal tenden-
cies are almost invariable Accomplishments
aware of this tendency. but from mistaken
kindness or undue constituencies does not
take the proper means to protect itself
that of placing the victim of the disease in
a sanatorium. Frequently the murderer
works himself up TO a savage frenzy
through the use OF drink or drugs. and,
since he has often the cunning to conceal
his purpose from those who could hinder
him. he. usually succeeds In fulfilling IL. AS
a rule. however. he has preceded his crime
with threats. and IT is when these are made
that he should be promptly arrested and
sent to JAN Putting such a friend under
bonds to keep the peace. as is sometimes
done, is a useless proceeding.

grades. TIL greatest congestion is almost
invariably in the primary grades. The
ginning of the year, gradually thin out.
owing TO the older students leaving for
work, and it often happens hat many first
year children will be on the waiting list
while there are many vacant seats in the
upper-grade rooms. Every teacher knows
that certain pupils are qualified for promo
ton after three or four months work in
her grade, and are retarded by being held
for advancement with the class at the end
of six months. The writer in question, who
has tested the plan and found it to work
we'll, says that if irregular promotion is not
advisable it is perfectly feasible to arrange
three periods for promotion, instead of two,
which is now the rule in most schools The
suggestion sounds like a practical one and
worthy of attention. The complaint Of over
crowded schools and insufficient room is
heard in nearly every city of the country,

how is the innocent public to be protected

These are questions that many business

MUNICIPAL FRANCHISES.

When one considers the great value OF
many municipal franchises it seems sur
prising that until within recent years they
should nave been granted for nothing, actu-
ally given away. This was due partly to
ignorance OF their value and partly to loose
ideas regarding the true functions Of mu-
nicipal government and of responsibility to
the people. Most growing towns were so
anxious TO add TO their evidences of prog
ress that they were willing TO give away
franchises which ought to have brought
them handsome sums. 1t Is believed there
Is no record of any city having paid a bonus

have made the old policy more indefensible
from a business point of view.
There has been a great change for the
better in recent years. but there Is still
room for Improvement. Valuable fran
chises are no longer given away. but it is
doubtful IL any city has ever yet got the
full value of one. Many cities get no re-
turns from corporations, except In taxes.
and probably none gets a fair equivalent
for the franchises they enjoy. A paper read
before the American Society of Municipal
Improvement at its recent convention in

OIL.S0AKED BRICKS AS FUEL.


Christian Advocate
IN establishment in Baltimore is known
as the Infusorial Earth Manufacturing
Company. Their plant is on the Rappahan-
mock river, in Virginia, where there is a Pc
culiar porous earth. From this they manu-
facture bricks. One day last week a repre-
sentative of the firm exhibited a brick
twelve inches long by five inches deep and
five across. This he soaked in three pints
of kerosene. In a few minutes the oil was
absorbed. The brick was then placed In the
kitchen stove and ignited by a match. I'm
mediately il began to flame, and for three
quarters of an hour burned slowly ana
steadily. No finer fire for either cooking or
heating could have been desired. Ordinarily
three pints OF oil are enough TO burn a
brick for an hour. All you have to do at
the end of that time is to take the brick
out, rub the SCOT OF with a piece OF paper
or a cloth. and soak IL again I'm oil. IL will
never wear out and the brick will not burn.
IL Ii Is dropped on the floor, however, tc
will break; but the pieces, when soaked;
take up the oil in the same way. and
when burned give the same results. pre-
senting the aspects of coal.
Francis II Whitney. Postmaster General
Payne's private secretary. has tried the
bricks, and found that they answer all the
purpose of a hod of coal, make a hotter
fire, and leave no ashes, and on the next
morning after the success of the expert
ment he telephoned to the Anacosta Brick
Company and the Washington branch OF
the Standard Oil Company and ordered n
CARLOAD Of porous brick and a barrel OF
oil. .
An amateur experimenter, taking a "por-
Gus hollow brick" whose dimensions were
s inches long, "a wide and "a thick, soaked
it in kerosene oil. This brick burned fully
forty minutes, giving a bright flame and
emitting great heat. From the amount or
oil he used he calculated that there was
sufficient to cook a meal and heat the boil
er, at a cost OF less than 1 cent.
In Utica a housewife took four ordinary
bricks and placed them In a pail over the
bricks she poured a gallon OF kerosene oil,
and let them stand until the bricks had alb
sorbed all OF the oil they would take up.
Then she placed two OF the bricks in the
kitchen range and set fire 10 them. The
Utica Observer. from which we take this.
says they burned fully two hours. and they
made a fire by which IL was possible 10 do
any kind Of cooking or other work requir-
ing considerable heat. The woman notified
the Observer that by the use OF bricks
soaked In oil one can get along with aH the
cooking. washing and ironing without re-
unpleasant odor or any trouble whatever,
full OF good wood"
In Tarrytown and vicinity the plan OF
soaking bricks in oil has been found TO
work well. One-half of the families in the
villages are using them. At CrotOn all the
boarding houses are using them for cook
ing purposes. Ii Is said that the finer grades
of red pressed brick absorb more oil ana
allow IL TO burn more evenly than the COM
mOner kind.
