Participated in the Exercises

Members of the graduating class OF
the Manual Training High School. Of
Brooklyn, their parents and friends are
IN great state OF Indignation to-day
over the commencement exercises held
last evening in the Columbia Theatre.
According to the angry pupils the ex-
ercises were all a BLUM. The applause

Of admlring and perspiring friends were
all In evidence. and still It was all a
bluff, the sixty-threo members of the
class declare. because when they opened
their diplomas they found only sheets
OF blank paper.
They were told later when they de-
manded an explanation that the exam
tnation papers had not yet been cor
rected and no diplomas could be issued
until that interesting crisis had been
passed. The young women, who formed
30 per cent of the graduating class.
shed bitter tears over the deception TO
which they had been made parties.

The outlook is not improved by the
fact that Superintendent Maxwell, when

government over the cost of the bullion. Thus, under the Bland act. the govern ment expended s30S. e00. 900 for silver bullion, from which it coined s7S. .0o0. 900 silver dollars. each of which it paid out at the value of one hundred cents gold. The surplus. s70.0oO. 900. was seigniorage. In like manner the sum of S62. .00o.O 900 was realized under the Sherman act. of which $20,0 900 has been. or soon will be. converted into subsidiary coins under the act of March 1 If. 1900.
 It is quite proper that the silver in the treasury should be used as it may be needed to meet the demands of busi- ness for subsidiary coins. The certifi- cates representing this silver are part ly in the hands of the public and part ly in the general fund of the treasury. ' In order to effect the change proposed | by MT. Hills measure the secretary would take, say, $1.0O0, coo of silver cer- i tlficates out of the general fund and turn them into the redemption division and receive 100000 silver dollars. which would be melted and reeoined into S1,070,0O0 of subsidiary coins. These would be sold to the public for gold at par and the proceeds returned to the treasury Thus second selgniorage would be gained arising from the fact that two half dollars, or four quarters, or ten dimes. contain only SS4 grains of standard silver, while the dollar con- tains 4121s grains, or 71s per cent. more. t--New York Evening Post.

of their circulating notes in

one-third of their circulating notes in denominations of s5.
 The regulations Of the present law were adopted for the purpose of giving the greatest possible room for the cir culation of silver certificates. Every thing below S5 was given to them, and nearly everything below S10. The in crease of population and the growth of business have made these restrictions seriously ineonyenient. Probably the most important of the above changes is the one relating to gold certificates. If these can be obtained in denomina- tions of S10. there will be a very large addition to the volume of the circula- tion, and, although expensive. it will be safe. All of the amendments suggested by Mir. Hill ought to pass congress without opposition.
 The proposed measure provides also that the amount of silver subsidiary coinage shall be commensurate with the demand for it, and that the secretary of the treasury may recoin standard sil- yer dollars into it when necessary to meet the public requirements. The amount of such coins authorized by eX- isting law is $1O0, 100000. and no more. This is fixed in the act of March IA, 1900, which provides that any silver bullion in the treasury may be used for such subsidiary coins. The demand for subsidiary coins grows with the coun- try's growth. but the amount of bullion in the treasury-the remnant accunu- lated under the Sherman act-is rapid ly diminishing, Upwards of $6,000,000 of additional small change was called for during the past twelve months. Half million per month will probably be wanted regularly hereafter, while under existing laws the bullion availa- ble for supplying this need is disap- bearing at the rate of two millions per month, mostly for silver dollars that are not wanted for actual circulation. Before the end of the present fiscal year the raw material for the supply of halves quarters and dimes will have been exhausted.
 Mir. Hill would have standard silver dollars turned into subsidiary coins as fast as the latter are called for by the demands of business. Since their SUD- ply must be kept up, the only question for debate is whether bullion for this purpose shall be bought in the market, or whether that which the government already holds shall be used. When the coinage of what is left of the bullion purchased under the Sherman act shall have been completed there will be 576,- 100000 standard silver dollars in exist ence. of which rather more than 500,- 100000 will he in the treasury vaults, represented by certificates outstanding. The certificate holders can draw out the dollars and do with them as they please. About cne-fourth of this sum is seign- forage, or the excess received by the

WALKS THIRTEEN MILES TO
 WORK,


 It sounds almost like the life of times long passed to hear in South Norwalks
 to-day, of young foreigner, sixteen years of age, walking each morning
 from beyond Stephen Hoyt Sons nur- sery in New Canaan to South Norwalk,
 and then walking back in the evening.
 The distance each way is six and one
 half miles, the lad states, yet he seemed to be pleased and happy, as he trudged
 home over the hills and ruts in the cold
 and darkness at o'clock last evening. This lad works in a South Norwalk hat shop and gets ten cents an hour. He gets there at o'clock in the morning, | in spite of the fact that it takes him two hours to make the trip from home. A full days work is nine hours, and if
 he works all day he gets nintey cents.
 Sometimes he Is only given work for five hours, and then he gets fifty cents for the day yet this lad was happy and
 started out again at s o'clock this morn 1 ing in the intense cold, and walked from
 New Canaan to South Norwalk.
 | While the yonug man did not seem to
 be warmly clad, he had an ample din- ner pail and looked, in spite of his hard | life, as though he enjoyed his meals,
 and had an appetite to get the best out of them-Danbury News.

The wild bull that has been a terror to the people of WInsted and vicinity i sdead. For two years the beast has been in the woods. Its owner was un- able to catch it. The owner sold the animal to a peddler who tried for weeks to get the bull, but failed, and then the original owner and his book keeper took a gun and went for the bull. The animal was so wild that 1t took fences like a deer, and for four days. it is said, pursuers raced the bull before they got near enough to get a shot. At last one of them got shot and delivered the bull to the peddler. When the bull got away orig inally he was only a yearling, but when shot he was good sized bull. and the peddler lost no money on his pur- chase.

AN IMPROVED sExTANT.

A serious defect of the ordinary sex tant is that 1t measures the altitude oF
 the sun above the apparent rather than
 the actual horizon. The usual "dip ta-
 ble" corrects errors due to the altitude of the observer above sea level, but, of
 course, takes no account of the varla- tions of the height of the horizon, ow- ing to the atmospheric conditions.
 Lieutenant J. P. Blish of the United
 States haVy has devised a sextant hav- ing prism for measuring the actual dip of the horizon. It is illustrated in the Scientific American. and may be useful on cable ships or in poliot waters,
 as wei as for ordinary navigation.
 The 'telepine" is an apparatus pre- scented to the Academic des Sciences,
 Paris, and invented by M. Torres, for manoeuvring machines at distance by the wireless telegraph. The wireless signals move needle on dial step by
 step, and thus, by means of a rubbing
 contact and another electrical appara- tus, control the mechanism. The idea was patented some years ago by Tesla,
 but perhaps this new application has advanced the subject.-London Globe.

TRANsCENDENTAL JOKES.

For the unbelieYing world outside, IL
 must be remembered, the Transcenden- tai movement at least contributed some such sunshine through the very sar-
 casms it excited; as when Mrs. Russell. Father Taylor's brilliant daughter, dld not finch from defining the Transeen-
 dentalists as "a race who dove into the infinite, scared into the illimitable and
 never paid cash;" or when Carlyle de-
 scribed Ripley, who had called on nm
 in England, as ga Socinian minister who had left the pulpit to reform the
 world by cultivating onions" Emerson
 compared Brook Farm to "a French
 Revolution in small" and certain meeting of the Transcendental Club to
 going to heaven In swing" All the peculiarities of Brook Farm, we may be sure, were reported without diminu- tion in the gossip of Boston society, even the jokes of the young people made upon themselves being taken se- riously in the world outside; as when they asked at the dinner table, "ls the butter within the sphere of your influ- ence?" or proposed that a pie should be cut from the center to the periph- cry" There being more young men than young women, at first, an unusual share of household duties, moreover, fell upon the stronger sex. They help ed in the laundry, brought water from the pump prepared vegetables in, the barn. The graceful George William Curtis trimmed lamps and the manly and eminently practical Charles Dana organized band of "griddle cake ser vitors," composed of -four of the most elegant youths of the community" .a
 1 MT. Lindsay Swift whose work on Brook Farm Is really one of the most thorough monographs ever written in i this country, reports legend that one of the younger members or pupils con fessed his passion < while helping his sweetheart to wash dishes, and Emer- son is the authority for stating that as the men danced in. the evening clothes pins sometimes dropped from their pockets. Hawthorne wrote to his sis ter, not without sarcasm, ''The whole fraternity eat together and such de Iectable way of life has never been seen on earth since the days of the early Christians. We get up at half past six, dine at half-past twelve and go to bed at nine.7 A ..--,. .. }S
 1 An element Of moral protest also en- tered into the actual work of the more serious members. Thus MT. Ripley said to Theodore Parker of John Dwight, afterward eminent as a musical critic, There is your accomplished friend; he would hoe corn all Sunday if I would let him, but all Massachusetts could not make him do it on Monday" Ru- nor adds that Parker replied. Tt is good to know that he wants to hoe corr any day in the week." The question is not how far these details were based on fact or were the fruit of fancy, but the immediate point is that they ma. terially aided in keeping up the spirits of the unbelieving world outside.-- Thomas Wentworth Higginson in the Atlantic. +.

CURRENCY IMpROyEMENT.

It is not expected that congress, at the present session, will consider any currency legislation which involves con troverted questions. Nevertheless, there are details in our present system which are susceptible of improvement, and which might be taken up and disposed of with advantage to. the pblic after brief debate. Secretary Shaw pointed out some of these in his annual report and they were embodies in a bill intro duced by Congressman Hill, of Connec- ticut, before the secretary's report was published, Probably the bill was pre- pared by the latter, or with his concur renee. It aims for the most part to supply the country with money of small denominations whose lack at times is painfully felt. ..,-.
 At. present there. is a shortage of small bills. This the measure proposes to cure by. W authorizing gold certifi- cates of BIO, the smallest being now $20; et2) by authorizing the secretary of the treasury to change the denominations of silver certificates and United States Inotes as he may deem advisable, the smallest of the latter being now $10; t3 by repeating the law which prevents national banks from issuing more than
