and Literature.
CHICAGO, April 5.-Dramatic acting
in the schoolroom as a means of edu-
eating the children in history, litera-
ture and ethical truths is the novel ped
agogical method recommended by Mrs.
Emmons Blaine in an article on THE
Dramatic in Education" which appears
in the April number of the Elementary
School Teacher. Mrs. Blaine holds that
the dramatic instinct is strong in chill
dren, and that by careful training it
may be made "a power to construct in
them stronger and better men and wo-
men, with clearer images and finer
thoughts This dramatic instinct,
however, Mrs. Blaine would have work
ed out by the children themselves in
schoolroom plays. She says that there
are few things on the stage at the pres
ent time that children should see or
hear. and suggests that the theaters
set aside Saturday afternoons for plays
to be given for the school children.

ity report on the bill introduced by

TO enlist the sympathy of all Ameri-
cans and secure a support which the
bill would not receive if it were gen
orally known that its provisions are
extended to all OF the Cabinet officers
and all foreign ambassadors and Min
listers TO the United States.
The purpose of the bill, the report
said, is TO set apart these four dozen
men as a superior and distinct class,
entitled to a higher degree of protec-
ton than other officials, citizens and
inhabitants of the United States The
minority members of the committee
say they yield to none in their desire
to protect the President and punish
the enemies of the Government and
social order. but in the accomplish
ment of this laudable desire we are
unwilling TO put upon the statute
books law that will invade and de-
stroy the most valued principles of
republican institutions; which will
take from the States their rightful ju-
risdiction over crime. which they have
never surrendered to the general Gov
ernnent; which will overturn the rec
ognizcd policies and procedure of
hundred years. and which. not con-
tent with the provisions respecting the
President, sets apart some forty-five
or fifty other men as a separate class
whose persons shall be more sacred
in the eve OF the law than others OF

SMALL FISH KILL A HORSE.
Finny Creatures of South American

An Illustration In Youth OF the dan
ger that sometimes lies in small fishes
ia the case of fish which is common
in the rivers Of South America, the
serrasalmo Ii is probably the most
fearless OF all fishes, very small, OF pc
culiar shape, with powerful jaws, so
strong and sharp that they can bite a
piece out OF an animal as neatly as
though 1t had been done with pair Of
scissors. In some places II is impos-
sible to fish, as the moment fish is
hooked thousands OF these vicious
creatures flock to the spot and tear 1t
to pieces before 1t can be brought to
the surface. The fish apparently does
not know what fear is. and has In
more than one instance jeopardized
human life, II not destroyed 1t. A
traveller in crossing a river on horse
back was attacked by these fishes, the
blood from his horses legs attracting
them in such multtudes that the anil
NAL was devoured as 1t swan. The
rider leaped from It's back and swan
to shallow water surrounded by the
throng Though protected by his
clothing he was bleeding from hun
bred wounds. and had not the shallow
water been near he would have shared
the fate OF his horse.
