am inclined to vote his judgmen sound. In the senator's day, as he points out, there were fewer books used, but they were more thoroughly learned. The distinguishing feature, indeed, of the pedagogy of the past was thoroughness.
 "rhere was also, as he shows, a de. velopment of individuality, thing that nowadays seems altoge ther wa nt- ing. Our public schools are fine, no doubt, aud it is heresy to criticise them, but the boys and girls that come from them come out just as much alike as two bolts of calico from the same factory.

ROCKEFELLER TO DOMINATE
 THE SIMPLIFYING TRUST

According to Denver dispatch il is rumored that John D. Rockefeller will come into full control of the American Smelling X Refning com pany at the next meeting to be held shortly and that with the coming in of the control of the ROckefellerS the GuggenheimS will step down and out. The Rockefeller interest is represented by the United States Metals Selling company, of which the Standard Oil magnate is the moving spirit.
 If this new invasion of the mining field by the trust idea prevails the Standard Oil man will be able to con trol both the metal market and the market price, The average producer of ore has had sufficient complaint against the smelter trusts So-called but there is little reason to believe that his complaints will be made less if the change above noted takes place Mining World.

Joe's Sermon.

Joe was an old fisherman, who lived on
an island off the Southern coast, where he
served as guide and man of -allwork to
summer visitors. A year or two ago sew
eral young men, sons of rich New York
merchants, who had been fishing and shoot
ing under Joe's guidance, brought him to
the city Kindness and the desire to sur
prise the old man prompted the boys act.
Joe, however, walked q'iietly about in
his clean homespun suit, manifesting little
surprise and less admiration.
"Now, Joe, said one of the boys, net
tied by his calmness, ''tell me candidly
what you think of New York. Isn't it
grand p
at pears too shut in for to call it that, -
the old fisherman said, reluctantly, un-
willing to be ungrateful or uncivil ''My
cabin has all outdoors behind it, an the
sea in front. That's what call grand.
''Oh, certainly. But wouldn't you like
to give up your drudgery and live as New
Workers do?'
''No," said Joe, thoughtfully. ''Taint
as easy livin' here. Your uncle sets in
his bank all day, an your father in court,
an l set in my boat. They fish for men,
an fish for mackerel. They hev to study
an fret to catch their fish. | don't "
"Well,' said the boy, discomftted
''wouldnt you like your wife to live in a
house like this p glancing around the
stately rooms filled with costly draperies
and brio brac.
"Nor' said Joe, laughing. ''Jane
scrubs out two rooms an cleans them up,
an then she sets an rests, or has some
fun. She never d finish keepin' this house
tidy
ooh, my mother has plenty of servants
to do that
eyes, an she told me they was on
bearable weight an a worry on her.
"But we see people,, urged the lad,
''and have music and gaiety, and many
things to see. -
"We have company. too; we ain t bur
led The neighbors come an set round
evenin' an tell stories an sing. Ireckon
we enjoy ourselves as much as you do at
your big dinners
There was short silence.
"We've got friends like you, Joe went
on, gravely, "an' our families. It's the
same thing in the long run. Your preacher
in that gilt pulpit said pretty much the
same words as old Parson Martin does.
An when we die we rest jest as quiet un-
der the grass as under them thousand dollar
monymints you showed me.
"Tm glad I've seen it all, +" he added,
smiling can it was kind in you to show
me- But it don't seem to make such a
diff renee between you an me as | thought
it would. Inside we re pretty much alike. =
'That's good sermon you We preached
me, " the lad said, laughing.
II WASH taweer l was preachin' Joe
said, anxiously.

The Face of a Watch.
From the New York Herald.

| FROM tne new Ork heTdlu
81 will wager" said Broadway watch
maker to customer the other day, ''that
you cannot correctly put down the numerals
on the dial plate of your watch. "
sDonep' said the other. And he wrote
down, I, II, III, "
wrong interrupted the watch
maker
Chow wrong?'
'Pull out your watch and look at the
figure four
Sure enough the figure was iii, not
~.
care all clocks and watches made that
way?'' asked the customer, as he put his
watch back in its fob.
''All that have Roman figures on their
dial. ."
"Why?"
''Well, there is tradition which ac-
counts for the custom. The first clock
that resembles the ones now in use was
made by famous French jeweler named
Henry Wick, in 1870. He made present
of it to Charles ", surnamed the Wise.
Now, Charles was wise in many ways, but
he did not know everything, though hav-
ing reputation to sustain, he pretended
to omniscience. When Wick brought him
the clock he examined the works very at
tentively, seeking flaw somewhere.
Yes, he said at last, the clock works
well, but you have got the figures on the
dial wrong Surely not, your Majesty
demurred the jeweler. yes, that four
should be four ones You are wrong,
your Majesty 4 am never wrong!' the
King thundered. Take it away and cor
rect the mistake Wick did as command
ed. The fashion was followed by others.
And so to this day we have iii instead
of ""
"But suppose my watch had Arabic and
not Roman numerals 2?
81 took that chance, of course, because
the larger proportion of watches have the
Roman numerals. But even then I'd
have had you in all probability. For there
is another peculiarity about the figures
which is almost universal in watches. But
| will show you. Go on writing the rest
of the figures
So the customer continued and wrote
down V, VI
Wrong again, interrupted the watch
maker
"But-''
''Pull out your watch and see, calmly
retorted the other
Once more the watch dial was exposed
to view There was no six on it, The
space where it should have been was occu-
pied by the second hand.
"The second hand, " continued the jew
eler, ''is to be found in exactly that place
in almost every watch that is made.
Whether your dial was registered in Arabic
or Roman numerals there would be no six
on it. 1t is only on few of a very cheap
sort of watches that the second hand is
omitted, and the or the VI stands re-
vealed "
