case which shows how perfect the New York school system is has just ad- vanced another step; Superintendent Charles R. skinner of the State Depart
 ment of Public Instruction has just
 given a second decision against the
 Board of Education of School District No. 4, town of Harrington, Suffolk county, which rashly directed that Har- ry T. Mott Harry Robbins and F'reder- ick Ketchum be given sound thrash ing The boys attended the Northport High School and broke the rules of the school. The Board last spring decided that the boys should be thrashed Hen ry S. Mott, the father of young Mott, appealed to Superintendent skinner from that decision, and the Superinten- dent sustained the appeal. The Board of Educa ton then voted that the Mott boy should be received, but that cor poral punishment should be inflicted on him, MT. Mott took an appeal from that action. The Superintendent of Public Instruction sustains the second appeal.
 This is somewhat different from the old way of doing things, Tn the good old days the boys would have got the sound thrashing" which they doubt less deserve, and it wouldn't have been postponed to await the result of any ap- peal.

bounds. Such was the sense of secur- ity that naval and army expenditures
 were cut down, with the result that
 many indirect taxes were remiued--
 taxes the proceeds of which are now
 very much needed. The taxes remitted
 after 1860 were not such as bore heavily
 on industry as was the case with many
 taxes in 1S4O, but were taxes on beer
 tea sugar, etc, that were scarcely felt
 and would not be felt now if reimposed. | It was folly, Mir. Giffen argues, to re- ! ported grain or to reduce the tea duty
 from 12 cents to cents pound, as the
 consumer got no appreciable benefit from the change. It was folly also to
 persevere in these reductions while in creasing the income tax. That direct , tax, which is now, by reason of the war, shilling pence to the pound, ought, it is suggested to be reduced to 6 pence
 per pound of income, while adding
 cents per pound to the tax on tea, l
 cent pound on sugar. 1 shilling per quarter on grain, l shilling per load on timber, cents per gallon on petroleum and 3 shillings per barrel on beer. Such a readjustment would give the govern- which it must have.
 A large scale of expenditure, MT. Cliff fen declares, is inevitable, if England is to hold her place in the world. The
 politicians, he complains, are dispos ed to ignore the facts and talk about ''gulfs of expenditure" and 'bloated armaments," but we must face the music" and recognize the extreme peril threatening the nation" if the defenses are not looked to. Bismarck's success in organizing a great military empire has altered the situation. We have to prepare to fight for existence" says the publieist, against powers which are naval as well as military all around us "a competition much more dangerous than anything that has been experi enced previously in our history. The country must be ready to discuss, if need be, extremely heavy calls on it's resources. The weakness of the coun- try in foreign affairs and losses in ne- sotiations which We experienced were | caused in part by the insufficiency of | the national premium of insurance and | the consequent inehiciency of the army | and navy. There cannot be doubt that | our former immunity from the common lot of nations is at an end. Great mill powers as well, and we must be strong by land as well as by sea, if the empire is to continue at all and if our island home is to be safe" In view of these facts the old way of discussion" as if any increased expenditure were an evil. 'eSardless of its object, must be hanged" The size of the army and navy must be discussed on it's merits md expenditure in like manner The, first necessity of the day, it is held, is 70 open ones eyes to the altered sltua- ion and cease talk about expenditure n the abstract without any considera- ion of it's specific objects
 MT. Giffen thinks England can stand Tn annual outlay of $500, ,0O0, 900, and that England can have what consolation here is in knowing that other govern nents, including that of the United States, are in the same boat

4 CHANGED TINA NCIAL CLIMATE.

MT Robert Giffen, the well known publicist, tells his brother Englishmen plainly what he thinks is the plain truth about "the financial climate" He af- firms that the financial climate" ere ated by the development in the last thirty years of several new competing world powers, necessitates permanent expenditure hereafter by the United Kingdom of $SOO,OOO, 900 a year and a lot of new taxes. From 1860 to 1885 or 1890 England was virtually in the enjoyment of an undisputed monopoly of the worlds foreign trade and her naval su- premacy was unquestioned.

The War department is frequently called on to inspect queer types of arm ament One of the oldest specimens of the kind is now before it for inspection. It is called a mob gun, and the scheme of it's operation is simple. It consists of heavy belt that is strapped about the waist. This belt is provided with a great many small compartments that are to hold cartridges, Attached to each compartment is a miniature pistol frame. This apparatus is to be worn about the waist, and when it is desired to bring it into action, all that is neces- eary is to turn up the belt and pull the triggers. Both hands can be worked in this way. so that there will be no loss of time The inventor states that be- fore firing it will be necessary to draw in a full breath, as the shock of the firing might otherwise injure the stom- ach, He calls it a mob gun because it

MT. Green, of Wichita, Kansas, who has just celebrated his ninety sixth birthday, was neighbor of Martin Van Buren, whom he disliked. He saw and talked with a man who witnessed the famous ride of General Putnam and who said that Putnam did not ride down the steps, but descended a hill be- side them, He knew Aaron Burr, Ar miral Decatur, President Jackson and Santa Ana His boyhood chum was a cabin boy to John Paul Jones, the fla nous sea fighter "The last time I took a drink" said MT. Green, twas the day Franklin Pierce was elected. Myself and three others went into a tavern and I set 'em up. The round cost me twelve cents In those days whiskey was good and it didn't cost much. After I drank my digger I turned around to the boys and said: That is my last drink They laughed, but l have kept the pledge ever since" Referring to his dislike of Van Buren, he says: Maybe it is be- cause I knew him so familiarly.

they have played Esmond's beautiful
comedy, when We Were Twenty

lis mooted question whether these art
lists could have done better in any other

to be exhausted, and its present revival
by these gifted players is mostly at the
request of those who have witnessed
their presentation before. The play is
more fresh and interesting than when

count of the elimination of the So
