Attend Gymnasiums

During the discussion Of the educas
tional estimates in the lower house Of
the diet the other day, the minister Of
public instruction. DR.. Studt, an.
nounced that the government was will
ing, as an experiment., to permit girls
to attend the existing gynnasiums
and also to establish a girls gymnasi-
uln, but declined all responsibility for
the outcome of tho experiment. Re-
garding the attendance of girls at the
universities. the minister said the gov
eminent failed to see that there was
my universal need of academic studies
for girls. Therefore it adhered to its
decision that they should only be adj
mitted to universities as guests. Tho
government, however, was Of the opin-
ion that, in orderto maintain the ideal-
istic position Of German - men in the
home. the instruction Of girls in tho
high schools should accord more close
ly with the requirements of the present
time.

A Story of Bishop Pctteb.

Bishop Potter in the course OF a
southern ramble found himself in {
city where his personal appearance is
much less generally known than it Is
in his own New York. Being for the
time off duty. as it We're, he did no.
think it necessary to appear at the
hotel breakfast table in the regulation
Episcopal garb, and the Afro-American
waiter, accustomed to seeing many OF
his military titled patrons wearing
black frock coats and ties, addressed
this newcomer as colonel

THE CALIFORNIA DUNKARDsj
A Scot That Strives 70 Live according
to tho Teachings of the Now
Testament.

The Dunkards of southern Califur-
MIA live in II of the prettiest va.
leys in that part of the state at tie
foot of the San Gabriel spur of the
Sierra Madres-30 miles east from
Los Angeles. They get their liveli-
hood from little fruit orchards and
principally from olive and lemon
groves, says a Los Angeles report. =
The central Dunkard town IS
Lordsburg, a village of 1000 people.
with trim but very plain houses,
neatly kept streets f]anked by shade
trees. a large college building and a
church, about which the whole col.
ony rotates. One can scarcely imag-
inc n more d%ecorous, solemn COM
munity than Lordsburg. .
The whole population arises nj
dawn, is industriously busy oil day
long. never speaking on any subject
but those concerning the colony
thrift, the manifestation Of the d.
vine will, the extension Of the sect's
influence and the Interpretation Of
Scriptural passages. At sunset there
are brief devotional services in every
Dunkard home, and when the meal
is over, each household gathers
about its head for Bible reading and
religious contemplation. seldom is
a light seen in q home in Lordsburg
after nine o'clock at night.

THE SUN SELDOM ON TIME.
Only Four Days In the Year When
Old Sol Isn't Too Early or Too
Late in Arriving.

The sun does not keep good time.
He is almost always too fast or too
slow. Once about the middle Of
April he is just on time, then not
again before the middle Of June. At
the beginning of September he joins
the clock a third time. and lastly
ohce more late in December. says
Prof. S. C.. Schumacher. in LADIES'
Home Journal. Now il would seem
as if he were startled at the wav
he had neglected us. In February
he fell back until he was Is minutes
late. BY the beginning of March ne
had made up five minutes Of his loss.
and before the month is over he will
have caught up to within five min
utes of the schedule. Meanwhile tho
days have been growing longer very
rapidly. We begin March with our
nights longer than our days. We
end it with our days longer than our
nights. In the one month we have
added to the length Of our day an
hour and 20 minutes, a bigger gain
than any other month can show.

Maxim Cork, the celebrated Rus

instruction could be obtained at ka-
Fan, and. having no money to pay for
