that the more they were discussed the
less disposed the delegates were to re-
quest their ratification. The adjourn
ment of the Reciprocity Convention
without any action whatever with re-
gard to these treaties probably seals
their fate. Nothing is likely to be done
by Congress this winter beyond the au-
thorizing of a commission to investi-
gate the whole question of reciprocity.
The real friends of reciprocity-and
they are, as a rule, not free traders
will welcome the verdict of the Wash
ington convention as making more
surely for the establishment of a gen.
eral reciprocity policy than any on
hand Endorsement of this or that
especial treaty. the nature of which
is not yet fully understood. The con-

officers and members ara to be con-
graduated. And not the least proof of
their wisdom and patriotism is the
fact that the free trade organs of this
country are crashing their teeth and
fairly bowling in rage at the outcome
of the conference. This of itself is
very satisfactory proof that that out
come is just what the American peo-
pie would desire.-Boston Journal

A special feature, and very com mendable one in the public schools here, Is the discussion of large number of topics of interest to the pupil not taught in the regular text book course And while the teacher is the leader in this oral teaching, the pupils are constantly assigned special work for individual in vestigation. AZ
 The jasssthnce of parents in the city has been more or less requested by the pupils in their search for information on these assigned topics.
 2 This is sof4toourse a commendable part I of modern teaching and promotes thought and investigation in the mind of the pu- 1 pill and the youth who forms the habit of seeking answers to such queries in proper l reference books secures not only the habit of thoronghness but also the basis of broad education Almost every home l possesses some one of the large cyclo- paedias but often times if the young student consults any one of these inform ation conveyed is too elaborate and eX- pressed in terms beyond the comprehen- sion of the youthful student. Conse- quently the parents are obliged to read and explain the extract. That 1t is de- sirable and really necessary for every student to possess books of reference is apparent to every one. And that he should possess volumes that contain vast variety of information given in concise and lucid manner and in phrase ology easy of comprehension is equally desirable and apparent.

Howard was one of the first colleges in the United States to take up basket ball. Two years ago a team was organized, but owing to the scarcity of college teams in the South they were unable to arrange a game. Last year they reorganized again but were only able to schedule one game during the season. and that was with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, in which Howard came out victorious by a score of 12 to '. This.year they again reorgan- ized, and under the able management of Mir. B. F. Roden, Jr., they have scheduled several games for the coming season. Much of the credit for the splendid train Ing of the team Is due to Prof. C. Harry

 The lineup of the team in the game against Mooney was as follows: Spruell center; Laird (captain) and Gwinn, for words; Mulin and Gordon, guards.

Carmen Syva's new book "A Real Queens Fairy Tales" is attracting con siderable attention.
 The Queen of Roumania has written poetry, novels, book of aphorisms an opera libretto a philosophical treatise, and two books of legends.
 It Is also said that the queen is very fond of music and is the only queen liv- ing who acts as conductor of her own orchestra. She possesses great talent also in drawing and painting
 Her versatility and wonderful accom- plshments are explained by her untiring energy and the rather remarkable fact that she only requires four hours of sleep daily. aE
 It is said that some years ago the well known palmist Cheiro took an impression of Mrs. Mary Hartwell Catherwoods s hand.

adult student as well as the youthful one at once. Curiosity aroused on a proposed question of information generally leads to a healthful solution. The questions are classified under the headings of His tory and Biography, England, Russia and Persia, France, etc., Anatomy and Physi- oIogy, Physics and Chemistry, Physical Geography Zoology, Science Literature, Mythology, Religion etc.
 For instance, selected at random is the question Tn what country is student, when expelled from one university, ex pelled from all in. that country?" (Page AID. Referring to the given page in the Cyclopaedia we have. German universi- i ties lead the world. Heidelberg, the ear Hest, was founded in 1886, and there are now twenty full universities with total of 2437 professors and teachers, D. 444 students; and so on giving valuable information in very concise way and in conclusion-"1f a student is expelled from one university he is expelled from all.''
 Students who have travelled or are well read will be inter ested in such questions as What notable events have occurred at Smithfield?" On given page one finds "Smithfield is an open space of nearly six acres in London and has been used as a market for sheep, horses, cattle and hay for centuries. It was outside the city walls and could be used for jousts tournaments and executions. The we'll known Bartholomew Fair was held here: Wallace, the patriot was executed here by Edward I; Wat Tyler, with 5000 peas ants, met here Richard II. and was stabb- ed by Mayor of London 1t is best known. however, as the place of execu ton of English martyrs from 1401 to 1912. The cattle market we'll described in Oliver Twist was closed in 1855, etc.
 The question How does the weather effect a clock?" gives some valuable in- formation on this point which will poss- bly surprise many to learn that a clock will run faster in winter than in summer, the pendulum being effected by heat and cold.
 The questions cover a diversity of sub jects and thoughts and did any one but study the answers here suggested 1t would form a liberal education in itself
 In most instances the proper pronuncia- tion of words Is given. which adds great ly to the value of the text.
