said to exceed those Of any other

The 10-year-old daughter of the
Countess de Champmoyant of
Paris has written seven plays, FIVE
novels and volume of poems.
In reply to a polite request that
he permit the use of his works for
charity's sake, Rudyard Kipling
sends curt refusal. Some of the
leading ladies of Oakland, Califor--
mia, decided to get out a "Kipling
Calendar In other words the
ladies compiled a calendar with
excerpts from the writings of Mr..
Kipling to fit or misfit every day
in the year. This calendar was to.
be sold for the financial benefit of
an Old Ladies' Home. When all
was ready the women decided as.
matter of courtesy to Mr.. Kip
ling to write him of their plan.
That gentleman's secretary replied
with a short note that it would be,
impossible to allow the ladies to,
make use of those extracts. The,
latter wrote again and again, be-
seechingly and setting forth the
worthiness of their motive, but all
to no avail. The short replies we're
that it would be impossible to COM
ply with their request But Judging
from the character of the replies of
that secretary and from most Of
Mr.. Kipling's prose writings that
have reached this meek of the
woods" it is doubtful whether
either of these men know the
of the word impossible.
Kipling can write interesting
verses and sometimes interesting
prose, but his "Animal' and "Just-

prose that we have seen, come
about as near being nothing as any
optical illusion that ever came this.

The old-time country school is.
rapidly going out of existence in
many of the states. Consolidation
seems to be the order of the day
in educational matters in the rural
districts, as we'll as in commercial
and industrial pursuits of the
townsfolk. In many of the old
time school districts there was, and
is now, an attendance of as low as
a dozen pupils. This necessitates.
the hiring of cheap, incompetent
teachers, in consequence of which
the pupils have only about half
the advantages to be had at the
average up-to-date school.
In the new order of things the
one-room schoolhouses are giving
way to larger buildings at central
points and up-to-date in education

is said to be quite as economical
as the old, even tho in many in

SINCE the coal shortage became a reality, in
ventors and chemists haye been devoting much time
to devising fuel that will be reasonable substi-
tute for anthracite. A great deal of experimenting
has been done with soft coal-lignite or bituminous
which is pulverfzed and pressed into bricks, and
several persons in different parts of the country have
already announced the discovery of fuel manu-
featured along some such lines which will compare
favorably with hard coal. Whether such claims
will stand the test, remains to be seen; but if
the coal famine ultimately results in the in
