In Europe, where gold plays II
more important part as IA circulating
medium in the currency than In the
United States. gold coins are
allowed To suffer but little loss of

deal more of Mr.. McAdoo's energies
have been devoted to their closing than

Dental election, but that Immediately
afterwards everything would be re-
Taxed and the town would then become
genuinely wide open.
The election is now less than six
weeks away, and all New York is get

NERVOUS SCHOOL CHILDREN.
From the chicago News.


According to statistics prepared by
the child-study department of the
school board. one-third of the school,
children of Chicago are afflicted
with some form of nervousness, mild
or aggravated. Some of the pupils
examined exhibited signs of mental
depression. with a marked tendency
TO melancholia- Others showed a ten
dency to chorea.
The announcement sounds a timely
warning and calls for the earnest con-
sideration OF school authorities and
parents. Undoubtedly a large part of
the nervousness OF the schoolchildren
is due to the peculiar conditions inn
posed by life In the city. From the
hour he awakens until he goes TO
sleep at night the average Chicago
resident is undergoing a strain upon
his nervous strength. The process
continues even when the victim Is
least conscious OF II. The daily trav-
el by trolley or cable is in itself no
slight tax upon the nerves. Noise.
more or less loud and insistent, Is ali

many men believe that with the re-
turn of their party to power ''the lid
would be taken off so far as Sunday
opening" and gambling and other re-
sorts were concerned, but that the old
tight rein would be drawn on what may
be termed straight crime" like rob-
berries, assaults and murders.
On the contrary, while Commissioner
McAdoo has not been able to cope q
whit more successfully with these
things than either of the commissioners
who went before-Col. Partridge and
Gen. Greene-he has shut UP poolrooms,
gambling joints and other like places

knife, his razor, even his nail scis-

OUR MISNAMED QUAIL.

Americas typical game bird, the
quail. is not named correctly at all.
according to DR.. Sylvester d. Judd,
the government ornithologist. He says
that the real quail is the quail of the
Bible. and that this is bird belong
ing exclusively to the old world. The
true quail does not occur in America
at all. In many parts of this coun-
try the American bird is known as
partridge. but the American partridge
is really the ruffed grouse; and the
true partridge, again, is another old
world bird and not American. He
thinks that the name given to It in
many localities, Bob White" is as
good as any. This name comes from
the cry of the bird, which is something
like Bob White. Bob White. Bob

They should Re Perfectly Sanitary
 Clean, Light and Wholesome.
 While public schools cannot be made palat1al there ought to be no reason why sufficient money cannot be secured to make them wholesome and free from defects likely to affect the health of the scholars. The health of the chil- dren is matter that should never be overlooked. If necessary to this end the school board would better curtail expenses for studies of questionable utility and apply money thus saved to the more urgent purpose of making the schoolhouses perfectly sanitary, well lighted and clean.
 At the close of each days session each class room should be thoroughly swept. dusted and aired that each morning may find it clean and free from dust. and the floors should re- ceive frequent scrubbing with soap and water. During the winter the rooms may be kept at an even temperature with but slight care on the part of the person whose duty it is to attend to this important matter Too much heat Is nearly as injurious as too little, and . varying temperature is more dan- gerous than either.
 Economy in this matter is criminal and unpardonable injustice to the con- Ing men and women, and every town should see that its schools are clean, comfortable and well lighted.
