JOHN C. BRYDON IN CUMBERLAND.
New General Manager of the Somerset

New General Manager of the Somerset
Coal Company in the City.
Mr., John Z. Brydon, the newly ap-
pointed general manager of the Som
erset Coal Company, was here yester-
day for short time on business. He
left in the afternoon for trip in the
mining region.
Mr.. Brydon's promotion is a recent
one, made by President Watson and
the board of directors of the CONSOLE
dation Coal Company. He is young
man of exceptional ability and his rise
in the coal business has been a rapid
one, he now being one of the most eff
cient officers in the employ of the
great coal company. He will continue
in his former position as genera sup
erintendent of the company in con
nection with his other duties, in which
he succeeded Mr. Thomas B. DAVIS,
Jr., who was made assistant general
manager of sales, with headquarters
in New York.
Mr. Brydon is but thirty-two years
of age. He is product of Maryland.
In 1889 he started his career in the
coal business, when he entered the
employ of the Davis Coal and Coke
Company, and has since been a sue
cess in the various duties assigned to
him. 1t is rare that such a respon
sible Office as general manager of so

It'll Quarter. Lesson X. Kings iii, AIS


The Archbishop of Canterbury and
the Lord Chamberlain rode in haste
by night from Windsor to Kensing-
ton to announce to Victoria her ac
cession to the throne. The princess
was just about Solomon's age Her
first words were, II ask your prayers
in my behalf" Together the little
company knelt on the palace floor,
in the gray of the morning, as the
prelate prayed that the young queen
might have an understanding heart
to Judge so great people. Is there
no connection between that PRAYER
and a reign phenomenal in its length
and honor?
Strange blessings on the nation lies
Whose sovereign wept-
Yea, wept to wear its crown
/ See, incidentally, the advantage Of
Church attendance. II was on holy
ground, within the sacred precincts
of the tabernacle, that heaven came
down to meet the young king. His
environment was no small factor in
his wise choice The service in which
he had engaged strengthened his
his faith in God, and his purpose to
be seryiceable to his fellows.
At this period Solomon stands forth
as the ideal civil magistrate. Person
al interest in him is subordinate to
the public good This is the essence
of civil service. What a transfer
nation would come over affairs, ma
tional, state, and municipal, if in
every instance it was the officehold-
er's foremost and constant purpose to
discharge his function well!
~
Solomon was in this instance an ex-
ceptional man, not for his day, but
ours as well. Take any ten men, and
try them, by the test put to the
young king after his coronation. How
many would decline wealth, honor,
long life. and just ask that they may
be able to fill well the sphere Provi-
dence has assigned them to! Yet that
was the essence of Solomon's choice

TESTS CT MENTALITY
Devices For Measuring Intellectual Cap
acity of Children.


While all the rules and devices for
measuring intellcctual capacity through
physical tests are continually set at
naught, says the Chicago Record-Her-
aid, there is much pedagogic value in
the results of the Investigations made
each year by the child study depart
ment of the public schools. Neither the
mental powers nor the moral percep-
tons Of boys can be gagged by stature
or nv Guickn2Ss of muscular movement.
y tail boy may be short Cn memory or
analytical faculty. while Il short boy
very frequently astonishcs teachers by
his mental penetration or retGntivcness
Of memory.
At the same time these investigations
serve the useful purpose of establishing
certain general principles regarding the
relation between physical imperfection
and mental deficiency. The results al
so serve to supply basis for a more
intellectual adaptation of school ap-
piianccs and books to the physical and
mental needs of children. The dis.
closures made by Director Smedley as
a result Of physical tests of 317 boys
at the John Worthy School, known as
the Juvenile bridewell." are particu-
larly instructive and valuable. 1t w;:s
found that these boys are inferior in
al principal measurements taken to
pupils in the other schools and that
this inferiori.y Increases with age
They are also behind in motor abil-
ity," ard much lower IN memory pow
er thar other pupils.
AS a result of physical measurements
of pupils in all the public schools Mr..
SIledley draws n number of interest
ing conclusions regarding the relation
between physical condition and mental
capacity. He finds that tic brighter
pupils have greater muscular control
than the duller pupils, that memory
power is greatest in the larger and
stronger pupils, and that the tallest
pupils average as much higher in
school efficiency rs they do in stature.
