4 RAY OF HOPE.

Great stories come from Philadelphia concerning the working of ''the School City" there. The School City throws the government Of the school upon the children. Under it the school becomes, instead of monarchy, with rules im- posed from above, republic, in which government depends upon the will of the governed. Under the system each room becomes ward of the school city. The pupils as a whole elect city council, with representatives from each ward or school room. The council elects a mayor; judge and administra- tive and judicial officers. The mayor appoints his cabinet and subordinate officers and may remove them at will. Elections are held every ten weeks. There is a very brief code of school laws, founded on the Golden Rule. Its prohibitions are made in general terms, as: Anything which disturbs order: anything which is profane,, rude or in- tentionaily unkind or impolite"; "any- thing which detracts from cleanliness or health or which injures property"
 Every citizen is in duty bound to call the attention of the authorities to any violation of the laws of this school city" The "authorities' are not the teachers or principal, but the police captain and four policemen, appointed by the police commissioner for each room. These policemen hold office for one and two weeks, and the post is eag- erly sought by children who have not been chosen to some higher office. The punishments are mot less than a repri- mand and not greater than a with drawal of the rights of citizenship" and such punishments must be approv ed by the principal before they can be executed.
 This system has worked so well in Philadelphia that the Board of Educa- tion has passed a resolution permitting the organization of school cities in ev- cry public school that wants to try the plan. Perhaps it will be found that the children can govern Philadelphia better than it has been governed by their eld- CTS, and then there may also be hope for other misgoverned cities.

 WAR.

There is, besides pleasure in order, a very real fear of disorder. A mob., a fire OF runaway horse arouse a sen sation of terror in the spectator quite apart from their potentality of harm to himself. Mere force is not, as is sup posed, the last argument of man; a civ llized war would have more terrors for the stock jobber than the cottager were it not for the threat Of ungoverned force yelled behind the punctillo of Christian fighting. We are never quite certain of an army. The disciplined brigade, which nowadays captures the enemys capital as tenderly as it would guard its own. has. nevertheless. the same badges on its buttons as those which were fouled with the rape of San Sebastian and the murder of Bazeilles; it may drown it's manners at any mo- naent in a torrent of blood and tears, and statesmen and others never forget the fact. War is but the crust of the volcano; fires of unutterable horror hum beneath; the very perfection of the discipline which controls them is evidence os mans dread Of disorder, for it is only fear that welds so strong ly the furnace doors.-Blackwood's

ONE MERCY.

It rains and rains and rains on the coast where New Haven is situated. and there is discontent and trouble be- cause it so rains. But we are spared some things that other people who are also excessively rained on have to suf- fer. Because of the heavy rains which have fallen in German East Africa lions have found life in the jungle unbeara- ble, and have attacked the villages. killing many natives.
 Wouldn't it be awful if in addition to the other attacks caused by the rains the village of New Haven were also subject to attacks by lions which would kill many natives? The town-born must get wet, because the rain falls on the just as well as the unjust, but thank heaven they are not the prey of wet and ferocious lions

RECoLLECTIoNs OF A TENDER
 FOOT

A curious result of our buying these steers was in one instance the breaking up of family. We bought ten--by far the best, by the way, that we got at all
 from gruff old-timer of ranchman, paying him forty-five dollars apiece, or ten dollars a head more than we had given elsewhere. His cattle were a year older and worth it. As soon as we had started with them he set out for town with his wagon and team--an all days drive-intending to cash .1r check and bring back the winter sup plies for the family. Several days passed, as we heard afterward.% and still no word from him. At last his wife persuaded a neighbor to go to town and hunt him up if possible. He found the old man in a gamblins "dtve," his money all gone and one horse of his team played off The neighbor got him ou- somehow and brought him home. When he arrived, moneyless, grubless and with only one horse, his wife was so indignant that, more Americana. she "quit him cold" The ranch was in her name, and she sold it to the first buyer she could find at his own price, took her little boy and left for parts unknown.-J. R. F. Sum ner in Longman's.

THE KING SNAKES PRowEss.


 The most relentless exterminator of reptiles is a member of the family it. self-the beautiful, 1.-the, yellow and black king snake. the friend of man and the avowed enemy of anything that creeps or crawls, regardless of size or poison fang. A native of our own south, the king snake is between five and eight feet long and no thicker around than mans thumb. Built in every muscle and bone for speed and tremendous constructing power, there is not another snake on earth that can withstand his assault. He is immune to the poison of the cobra and of the rattler alike, and the strength of a thirty-foot python has no terrors for him. Within five minutes from the opening of the fight, the king snake could kill the biggest python that ever lived. Ferocious as the little constric- tor is toward his own kind, towards man he is friendly, and rarely tries to escape when met afield.-A. W. Roker in McClure's.

GOOD. IF EN FORGED.

Chicago is feeling good over the pros pect that a city ordinance will be pass ed requiring that the tires Of vehicles shall he proportionate in width to the load tosbe drawn in order to protect the surface of the roads. The Chicago Tri- bune speaks of the damage to the streets by narrow tires and says: The use of wide tires-the width of the tires being made commensurate with the weight of the vehicle and it's load-would put an end of this process of destruction. It would greatly lengthen the life of the average pavement and decrease the cost of repairs. The streets not only would lose some of their present slovenly ,ap- pearance. but could be kept in more cleanly condition and at less expense. There would be fewer ruts and chuck holes" to collect and retain mud and water and there would be less dust to be blown through the air on dry days, sending disease bearing microbes into nostrils and lungs. Furthermore, the general adoption of wide tires not only would lessen the strain upon horse and driver, but would quicken the process of traffic.
 True. And this reminds us that Con- necticut has good wide-tire law, which seems to be quietly reposing under the bamboo tree or somewhere else.

Diagnosis of Kentucky.

Kentucky's hills are full of rills And all the rills are lined with stills. And all the stills are full of giIls, And all the gills are full of thrills, And all the thrills are full of kills. You see, the feudists dot the hills And camp along the little triIls, Convenient to the busy stills And thirsting for the brimming gills. And when the juice his system fills Each feudist whoops around and kills. Now. if they'd only stop the stills They'd cure kentucky's many ills Men would be spared to climb the hills And operate the many stills However, this would mean more giils And that, of course, would mean more
 thrills, Resulting in the same old kills. So all the hills and rills and stills And all the gills and thrills and kills Are splendid for the coffin mills And make more andertaker's bills.

LTvING IN THE PHILIPPINES

LIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES.
 In the meantime, it is time for Ameri- cans to consider whether they have done what they set out to do. There are fewer Americans here now than six months ago. It may be that this is due to the fact that many came out here thinking they would find it one big hol- iday; there were many such, and they are returning disappointed. It is also true that many of those here have made up their minds to stay for an indefinite period, but the prospect is not so bright as it might be. Progress is slow, capi- tai is shy. and traders seem discouraged by the delay in passing tariff laws to admit of trade with the United States in those articles that can be produced here. The islands are now growing bet ter tobacco than any state in the Union; it is nearly all fit for cigars, not merely for the pipe. and it is very cheap. but the tariff has kept it out of the United States.
 The Spanish trade in cigars is also gone, and there is nothing to take its place except any increase there may be in trade with Great Britain and Ger many and with the British possessions in the Orient. The American people will not admit Philippine tobacco because it is better than they can grow themselves. and they will not come over here and farm themselves because the possible prosperity Of the Philippine forms is prevented by their own tariff laws. For years the only farmers who are likely to make any in roads on the trade in sugar, coffee or tobacco are such Americans as may come out here and work along modern lines, and if these be given a chance it will only be mat ter of time when the Filipino farmer will also make his mark.-Manila Let ter to the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
