Overworked School Children.
e Philadelphia Ledger.

From the fnllaueiPnia Ltuktr
1t is encouraging to those who are con-
cerned for the future of the race to observe
that the attention of school authorities has
been seriously directed to the evil results
of examining. Most teachers are fully con-
scious that their pupils have too much to
do; but the course of study is prescribed
for them and the teachers can but gallop
their classes through series of hasIy and
Improbable recitations. and send them
home with a bunch of books to cram for a
like performance on the morrow.
We need to recognize that the average
Juvenile mind has very limited capacity,
and it is with the average that the public
schools have principally to deal. 1t is easy
to make particular provision for the ex-
ceptional minds. The great mass of chill
dren must be treated in large classes. where
it is not possible to let the fastest set the
pace and where the instruction must be
more or less mechanical. and, therefore,
must be kept of the utmost possible sim
piicity The very general recognition that
the course in the public schools has become
mpracticably complex and exacting is a
wholesome sign. If the school authorities
have but the courage of their convictions,
they can do much for sound education and
for the mental and physical health of COM
ing generations.

CANNON BALLS WERE GOLD.
They Were Used in India to Repel an
Invading Army.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Not long ago an old peasant was wander
ing in the jungle about half mile from the
city of Ahmadnagar, in India, when he
found a round ball of metal 1t was black
and looked like an old iron round shot but
when the old man lifted 1.-THE was struck
with it's immense weight He carried it
home and found. on scratching it, that it
was lump of solid geld 1t weighed
eight pounds and it's sale made the finder
rich for life.
There are many more of these cannon
hid or. buried in the recesses of this jungle
and their story is a curious one. At the
end of the sixteenth century Akbar, the
greatest emperor Hindoostan ever. saw, was
at the height of his glory. At the head of
his conquerlng army he summoned Ahmad-
magyar to surrender. The city and it's rich
treasure were then under the rule of the
Princess Candle. Knowing that resistance
could be but short and in bitter rage
against the oppressor. she caused all the
treasure of gold and silver to be melted
down. She cast the metal into cannon balls
and engraved upon each maledictions
against the conQueror. These were fired
into the jungle and when Akbar entered
the city, instead of the rich hoard he had
hoped to win, he found a treasury abso-
lutely empty.
That this is not the only occasion upon
which cannon balls of gold have been cast
is proved by the fact that in the treasury
of the Shah of Persia there may be seen
peacock throne. two small globular pro-
jectiles of gold. They were estimated by
a recent visitor to weigh about thirty one
pounds each and are very roughly made
Their origin or purpose is however, totally
forgotten. 1t is only known that they are
very old
