School Board.

AT the regular monthly meeting of the
City School BoaFi las. night there were
present Messrs Thompson, Aitcheson,
IaIes, Normoyle, Thomson, Marbury,
Harrison, Bryant, Carne, and theSuper-
intendcnt. In the absence of the chair
man Captain Bryant presided.
Col. f. L. Smith was reelected chair
man and Mr.. Hubert Snowden clerk.
Mr.. Aitcheson, from the committee
on schoolhOuses and furniture reported
concerning the proposed improvements to
Peabody building. He stated that the
committee had not been able to arrive at
a definite plan as to water closets; they
had several different plans under consider
ton. each of which would involve con-
siderable expense. As to fire escapes,
only one firm in this city constructed
such escapes and it would require from
six weeks to two months to do the
work and would cost from 5000 to
5000. With Two escapes all but one
room in the building would be provided
for, but that room had exits by two
flights of stairs. AS to the change
in the assembly rooms, one cou-
tractor had estimated the cost at from
$3.50 to 5000. The committee thought
that, except the fire escapes, none of
the improvements was desirable at the
present time, or during the school session.
Mr.. Aitcheson and Superintendent
Kemper suggested that some competent
person should examine the building and
report as to the cost of the proposed i'm
provements and also as to the best method
of heating the building.
On motion Of Mr.. Normoyle the COM
mittee on schoOlhouses and furniture was
empowered to procure the services of
competent architect to examine the
building and report as to the plans and
cost of the proposed improvements. He
suggested that City Engineer Dunn be
consulted in the matter.
The Superintendent reported that dur
ing the time the street paving was in pro-
gress in front of Peabody building he
has ordered one session each day for Lee
school to avoid the danger of the girls be-
ing injured in crossing and recrossing
the street while the men were at work.
He had also taken into consideration the
matter of fuel. He stated that two ses-
sions would be resumed at an early date.

Movement for Interchange of Pulpits

A movement is on foot among church
people of this city for an occasional in
terchange of pulpits by the resident
clergy. This, it is urged, would give the
members of all the churches an oppor-
tunity of hearing ministers of other de-
nominations. Under present conditions
but few churches ever close, hence there
is but little chance for many to hear
numbers of ministers, especially those OF
the itinerancy, who Stay here but few
years. In by-gone days the interchange
of pulpits was a pleasant feature in the
RELIGIOUS life Of the community. 1t pro-
duced many union meetings and CO.

resulted in good feeling and fellowship.

Monkeys as Coin Testers.

IT is said that the great ape of Siam
is in great request among the Siamese
merchants as cashiers in their count
ing houses. Vast quantities of base
coins are known to be in circulation in
Siam. and no living human being can
discriminate between the good and
bad coinage with as much accuracy as
these apes. These monkey cashiers
possess the faculty OF distinguishing
the rude Siames4 cOunterfeits in such
an extraordinary degree that no
trained banker can compete with them
in their unique avocatiOn.
In plying his trade the ape cashier
meditatively puts each coin presented
to him in his mouth and tests it with
grave deliberation. From two to five
seconds is all the time this intelligent
animal requires in making up his de-
clslon. If the coin is all right, it is
carefully deposited in the proper re-
ceptacle: il base. it is thrown violently
to the floor, while the coin tester
makes known his displeasure at being
presented with the counterfeit by Civ
ing vent to much angry chatter.

Reasoning Powers of Crabs.

Eugene Blackford, the eX-fsh com
missioner, was standing in the door
of his office in Fulton Market when Il
literary woman came up to him and
said: Mr. Blackford. 1 am gathering
material for an article on crabs. Do
you think those little crustaceans have
the faculty of reasoning?'
We'll, madam" replied Mr.. Black
ford, according to the New York Times,
Il have never given the subject a
thought, but have known crabs to do
, some remarkable things. Last sum
mer l was fishing for founders in
Jamaica Bay. The water was shallow
and l could easily see the bottom. A
crab sided up to my bait, picked up
the hook with one claw, took off the
bait with the other, ate it. and then
climbed up the line for the bait box.
If that isn't reason it certainly is a

Why He Was Glad.

A native of Dublin but resident of
London arrived in Philadelphia few
days ago. His last stopping place
was st. Petersburg, where he spent
several weeks. He says he is delighted
to get here again, as he is longing for
the sight of pretty faces, which in st.
petersburg are as rare as they are
plentiful here. On one occasion, in
company with a friend, he walked the
entire length of the Nevski Prospekt
-four niles, the Chestnut street of the
Russian capital. and during the stroll
saw but two pretty women. And Rus
sian ladies, he declares, do not dress
nicely. He explained these two facts
by saying that they We're mainly Tar
tars, and was somewhat nonplussed
when innocently asked by his cynical
listener: Aren't ali woman tartars ?"-
