For The Three Rs.
From The philaaelphIa Record.

NEthI A4iC Aultolel Pula hetuIu
The Superintendent of Public Instrue-
tion in Pennsylvania has excited newspa-
per comment by the affirmation of so an
cient an idea as that in the development of
the individual mo studies are of equal i'm
portance with the traditional three Rs. -
(The Three Rs signify reading, writing
and arithmetic. That is not the view which
Is held by those who are responsible for the
courses of study in the public schools is
apparent from the complaints of college
presidents that a great many of the grad
yates of the public schools appear to be
strangely ignorant of the fundamental Eng
lish branches; and from the frequent an
nouncement that a large proportion of pub
lie school teachers and Of applicants che
doors of the colleges are unable to spell.
While there Is a notable lack Of knowl-
edge of the elementary studies-of the
three Rs'-the pupils are served with
text books on alcoholic physiology (Which
is disapproved by men Of seience), with
lessons in cookery, music, drawing manual
training, etc, to the neglect of the branches
formerly regarded as not only essential,
bat also as comprehensive, The condition
which induced the Superintendent to affirm
what would once have been held TO be an
obvious fact is the report from many
quarters that the pupils of the common
schools are far below the average of attain
ment of those Of the district schools of other
years. He finds that the three Rs are
being crowded out by studies which are
not necessary to a solid foundation for an
English education, and at the risk of ap-
pearing to be an old fogy he becomes
champion of almost forgotten essentials.

Ancient Babylon.

According to Herodotus, the ancient
city of Babylon stood on broad, level
plain and was an exact square of fourteen
miles each way, making the entire circuit
of the city ffty-six miles. 1t was pro
tected both by wall and a moat, the lat
ter being broad and deep and kept con-
stantly filled with water But the wall
was the wonder of wonders, being SO 1-3
feet in width and an even 200 feet in
height This monster barrier was provided
with 100 gates, all Of solid brass, the lin
tels and side pieces being in bronze. Cross
walls ran along the banks of the Euphrates,
each provided with twenty-five gates,
which eorresponded to the number of
streets running in each direction from the
river.
The most remarkable edi6ce inside the
wall was the temple of Bel, a pyramid of
eight square stadia. On the summit of
this pyramid stood pure gold image of
Bel forty feet high, two other smaller fig
ures of the same precious metal and gold
en- table forty feet long and fifteen feet
wide. This wonderful city first came prom
inently into the history of the world in the
year 747 B. c., but since the time of
Alexander the Great it has been ruin,
the site having at one time been entirely

BOOKWORMS.
Not the Human Kind, but the Grubs
That Tunnel Volumes,

Not the Human Kind, but the Grubs
That Tunnel Volumes.
Blades, in his interesting volume,
''The Enemies of Books" has shown
that several very real bookworms are
undesirable tenants of old libraries,
and he has studied closely several
specimens sent him and described their
ravages.
Two grubs in particular richly de-
serve this name, the anobium, peril
max or eruditus and the oecophora.
The anobium, a small, light colored,
brown headed grub, with a body like
thin ivory or transparent wax, bears
a close resemblance to the white mag
gots of Stilton cheese Working
with pair Of strong jaws, like a steel
bit, the grub begins at the wooden
boards and if allowed will perforate
the whole volume. The oecophora
similar to the anobium, except for the
possession Of six legs, is not unlike
the so called deathwatch.
NJ. Peignot asserts that he found
twenty-seven volumes in one row
pierced from end to end by a single
worm tunnel. Mr.. Blades doubts this,
but has himself seen two volumes so
treated, with no fewer than PIP dis
tinct holes on one cover.

AN ODD CHARACTER.
The Queer Freaks of an English
Poet and Clergyman.

fOet anu Clergyman.
Robert Steven Hawker, poet and
vicar of Norwenstow, England, was an
eccentric person. In his younger days
he used to daub the village physicians
horse with stripes of paint until the
animal looked like a zebra and then
summon the physician hastily to an
urgent case miles away in the country.
Two elderly women whom he disliked
he is said to have driven out of the
town by sending all the undertakes in
Plymouth to measure them for their
collins.
His marriage, too, was out of the Or
binary. 1t happened while he was at
Oxford. His father told him that he
could not afford to keep him there any
longer. Hawker at once set out to the
home of his godmother, Miss Charlotte
Fans, twenty-one years his senior and
the possessor Of an annuity of $1,000.
He is said to have run from Stratton
to Bude, arriving hot and blown" and
proposed to her. She accepted him.
He.returned to Oxford a married man
and won fellowship. The marriage
was happy one.
When his wife died Hawker wore at
her funeral pink hat without a brim.
But this was in no disrespect to her
memory. 1t so happened that it wa:
his usual headgear at that time.

Political Pirates.

The St. Cloud Journal Press, edited
by a confirmed Republican Office hold
err, and, by the way, a Collins man
ager, has bolted Bob Dunn's nomina-
ton out and out. This is his privi-
lege, but when he attempts to justify
his renegade course by claiming to be
a good Republican, all good Republic
cans have a right to object. Alvah
Eastman is simply playing the baby
act and a holier than thou racket
which lily becomes a man of his varied
experience in politics. Stand up to
the rack, Alvah: and take your medi-
cine, and if you refuse, say you are
Democrat and be done with it, You
had right to kick before the conven-
ton: you have right to kick after
the election, if the actions of the new
governor do not suit you: you have
no right to shout Republicanism and
at the same time attempt to stab to
death the nominee of the party to which
you claim allegiance. Those Republi-
cans who always kick over the traces
when the party nominee is not their
personal choice should sail under their
proper colors.-Preston Times.

Southern Manchuria.

The St. James Gazette says: "The
rainy season in southern Manchuria is
not so bad as it has been represented
to be. Residents of long experience
state that while there are DAYS in
which heavy falls Of rain take place
there are not many consecutive days in
which torrential rains are experienced.
When really heavy downpour of rain
Of some hours duration occurs it is al
most invariably followed by three or
four weeks of splendid, dry, bracing
weather. There is no finer summer eli
mate in the world than that Of south
