DO NOT SUPPLY BRAINS.

A recent count in the indictment to which the public schools of this coun- try are continually being called to plead demands attention. At civil service examination for subordinate officials in g municipal building depart ment one of the test questions was: What is the difference between three square feet and three feet square?" We doubt not that many persons un- able to answer this query have lived happy and useful and approximately successful lives, never having had their failings revealed by the civil service examiner. This lot of applicants for government employment, it appears was less fortunate. the examination discovering that on this one point at least most of them-yaguely stated as several hundred''-were in q condition Of deplorable ignorance of simple mathematics plus state of amazing incapacity to comprehend or to reason. Are these the products of your boasted public schools? is thereupon asked with the air of having demonstrated the entire uselessness of the whole sys- tenn. To be sure. the interrogatory has an aspect of being rather crushing un- til we begin to look about and see how many products of the public schools there are who could easily answer the examiners question if they ever came before the board, as, thanks to what their ability and industry enabled them to get out of their school life. is not
 likely ito be their fortune If the schools produce failures, they are to be debited with the one. why in req son should they not be credited with the other? When two boys go through the schools and one of them finds that he can't seell the difference between three feet square and three square feet, while the other finds that he can. certainly the school is not altogether discredited There is just a founda- ton for the suspicion that the boy who failed might fairly lay some of the blame upon himself At any rate, the schools deserve to have some at tention from the point of view of the graduate who knows. as we'll as from that of the graduate who does not know.-Harper's Weekly

 The house of commons has adopted the increased check duty by 186 to 119 votes.
 In the house of commons MT. A. J. Balfour, the government leader, said that the government had no informa- ton to impart at present as to peace in South Africa, nor could it have for awhile. As soon as any news was re- ceived it would be communicated to the house.
 The Daily Mail in it's issue of this morning says it understands serious hitch has occurred in the peace negot1a- tions in South Africa. The cabinet council has decided to refuse strongly worded request from the Boer leaders at Pretoria for an armistice pending the negotiations This alone is not likely to cause the Boers to withdraw from the conference.

Tom toms and reed instruments used in Egyptian theaters will furnish the music for the dances. The theater itself will be very handsomely ar ranged, the entrance especially being a work of art in itself. The management are sparing 10 expense to make this feature of the AIischianza a memora- ble number for those who attend, while neglecting no other single detail of the big entertainment the company Is pre- pairing to present. Sketches for tbe arrangement and decoration of the City hall, in which the AischianZa will take place are being prepared, and though all the details will not have been fully arranged till the A1ischianZa opens next Monday. enough has been accomplished to warrant the statement that the conl- pleted scheme of arrangement and decoraties will far surpass anything thus far attempted in entertainments in Waterbury No one who has not witnessed the work from the 'insi le' can realize the great expense of time and money that Is being incurred for the production of the AIischianza. Not only will there be drills of the training school cadets, as before announced. bat other drills will be held.

Columbia Expects Big Carnegie G1ft.
 NEW YORK, April 16.-Public an nouncenent will be made after the off cial installation ceremonies in Colum- bia college of munificent money gift to that institution by Andrew Carnegie, according to information which reaches the press. The exact amount is known only to the president and to the board of trustees, but there is good reason to believe that it is not far short of $1,- 100000. This will be more than suffi- cient to build a college hall, chapel or dormitories, to which purpose the gift is to be applied MT. Carnegie up to this time has given nothing to Colum- bia, and it is expected that when his contribution is announced it's size will surprise the members of the faculty as well as the students
