From the Boston Herald.
The complaint of Controller Grout
that the New York Board of Education
spends too much money on fancy
branches, TO the neglect of the more
useful and practical ones, mas taken
this form:
Since little Johnny went to school
And studied under MaxwelI's rule.
He's learned to hem and darn and kni:
And has a pretty sewing kit.
He's learned to paint a yellow rose
And how to ornament his clothes:
How to make pretty moonlight scenes
BY splashing ink on little screens.
And Johnny has little book
Which tells the dear child how to cook,
You might not think it, but it's true,
He's graduated in beef stew,
You ought to hear how Johnny sings
Those lovely, noisy, Wagner -hings.
He sings all classic music grand,
Those tuneless things none understand
When pa comes home from work at
night
He teaches Johnny how 10 write,
And how 10 cipher. and to spell,
But what pa says-I shall not tell.
This poetic Indictment. says the New
York Globe. deserves a wider applica-
tion than TO New York alone

How long does a dream last? To the
dreamer it sometimes seems to endure
for hours, and the general impression
is that dreams continue for minutes at
least, while the fact is that the long
est dream appears to be confined with

events of IL may impress the dreamer
Tor days. says the Liverpool Post. The
other afternoon" said a doctor, Il
called to see a patient, and, much to
my satisfaction, l found him sleeping
soundly. | sat by his bed, felt his
pulse without disturbing him, and
waited for him to awaken. After a few
minutes a Dealers cart, with discord-
ant ringing bells turned into the
street and as their first tones reached
me my patient opened his eyes.
Doctor he said I'm glad to see
you and awfully glad that you woke

came into the room with a string of
most horribly sounding bells and rang
them in my ears, while l hadn't the
power to move or speak to him. I
suffered fortunes for what appeared to
be interminable time, and I'm so glad
you awake me-
The ringing of those bells for one

In a magazine article on Max Won
Pettenkofer, who has been called the
founder of scientific hygiene and, next
to Humboldt, the most popular of all
German naturalists, Max Gruber tells
a story of the professors absent mind
edness. He lost a fortune in umbrel-
las, seldom bringing back what he had
taken away. Once, however, he made
a trip as far as England and was very
proud of having actually succeeded in
bringing back his umbrella to Ger
many. At Augsburg he stopped on
business, but sent telegram reading:
AT 6 o'clock ! return with my UNI
brella." He did return at O'Clock,
but as he entered his house in Munich
he saw to his dismay that he had no
umbrella. He had left it at the tele-
graph station.

THE STOLEN HORSE.
An Old Proverb With a New Applica-
ton.

The woods are full of ''so-called"
remedies for badness. q t44,.,.. <
You may call anything in creation
a remedy, but to use them is like lock-

Badness and dandruff are caused
by a germ-if you don't kill the germ
the germ will kin the hair.
Scientists have labored with the
problem of a preventative for bald
ness for many years.
Newbro's Herpicide is the product
of a modern idea, and will cure dan
druff and prevent badness because
germs cannot exist when you apply
Herpieide.

The saw as q cure for consumption
is something new, yet that Is what
DR.. c. A. Bucllin of New York adj
vocates. There is no use sending con-
sumptive patients to Arizona or Colo
RADIO or other high attitudes for rari-
fed air. he says, when all the oxygen
that a patient needs may be had at
home. Cut out the lower turbinated
bones of the nose, he says, and the
trick is done. Removal of the bones
permits of the Inhalation Of a greater
volume of air, and that is what the
patient needs. Prize fighters and
other athletes frequently submit to a
''noseboring" operation to increase
their breathing capacity, and greater
breathing capacity is what the con-
sumptive patient needs, according to
this doctor The operation, he says,
Is nearly painless, and he has never
known 1t to fail of good results.

A statue of Emperor William of
Germany was unveiled in the Thier-
garten, Berlin, a few days ago. A
cable says the statue shows the EN-
peror "as a young man." Well, isn't
he young man? He was born in
1859, and has shown no sign of mem
tai or physical decay. Do men be-
come old" in Germany before they
have reached the half-century mark,
despite the possession by them of
youthful freshness and buoyancy?

Secretary Moodys hands are in quar-
antine. Mr.. Moody has only recently
returned from trip to the West In
dies, on which he was accompanied by
Senators Bacon of Georgia and Hale of
Maine, and Representative Dalzell CT
Pennsylvania. Some days ago Secre-
tary Moody noticed an eruption on his
hands. which may or may not have re-
suited from putting his fingers into
Porto Rican affairs. And then his sec
retary noticed that he, too, was both
cred by a similar eruption, showing
MIS- loyalty TO his chief. Secretary
Moody shook hands with President
Roosevelt when he got back to Wash
ihgtOn, and now there is fear in Off
cial circles that the President may get
me itching palm and fingers.
AS consequence Secretary
Moody has been ordered by somebody
IN authority, a physician no doubt. TO
keep to his room until his hands get
well. 1t does not appear that either of
the senators or Mr.. Dalzell got their
hands into it.

ATTACKSPEYER'SCO
SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES OF LAKE
SUPERIOR CONSOLIDATED
WANT LIQUIDATOR APPOINTED.

Toronto, Ont, Jan. 2.-The credit
ors of the different 500 companies
have served notice on G. P. Worthing-
ton, general auditor and officer in
charge of the 500 properties, that
liquidator of the subsidiary compa-
MES to the Lake Superior Console
dated was being applied for and that
the control of the 500 property by
Speyer & Co. was being contested.
The petitioners claim that differ
ent financial corporations, including
the Canadian Bank of Commerce and
the Fidelity & Commercial Trust COM
pany of Philadelphia, finding them
selves with claims against the 500
companies entirely unsecured ad-
Vanced amounts to pay off their own
claims and obtained on this advance
securities which they lacked before.
It is alleged that by thus advan-
cling money to pay their own unse-
cured claims, the different banks and
trust companies secured themselves at
the expense Of the other unsecured
creditors.
The creditors also hold that a por-
ton Of the stock in each of these
subsidiary 500 companies was not is
sued at it's full value. The issue OF
the stock will be examined to ascer-
! tain whether it was paid up or paid
| for at all. If it is decided the stock
is not paid up, Speyer & Co. will be-
come contributors. In petitioning for
llquldator, the subsidiary companies
practically ignore the sale Of the Sc
cur1tles sold in New York recently

Minneapolis and Chicago took the lead,

Der of markets We're closed, prevented a
panic of shorts and a runaway market.

GREAT FORTUNE
Offered by Italy Refused by the Pope,
Who Has Many Resources.

power Of the popedom the papal
states had an Independent budget.
The pope, besides other revenues, en-
joyed a civil list of $500, 900. When
Victor Emmanuel, however. took pos
session of Rome, in 1870, and the
states of the church were abolished,
a perpetual allowance, represented by
the interest on capital amounting to
$4,000, 000-was appropriated for
the papacy and was added to Italy's
national debt.
The Vatican, as is known, has never
recognized the abolition of the pope's
temporal power, and, therefore, has
never accepted the allowance. It's an
nual expenditure of about $1,750,O 900
1t is interesting to note the various
items of expenditure. About
s125,OO0 is required for the cardinals
and the diplomatic agencies abroad,
200 for the upsskeep of the Vati-
can and itsanneXes, libraries and
museums; $4,000 for charitable pur-
poses and subsidies to Catholic schools
in Rome, $375,O00 for bounties and
presents and s25O.OOO for sundry OBJ
jects. To these expenses must be add
ed the maintenance Of the small papal
army, which is 900 men strong.
AS to the revenues of the Vatican
they are mainly derived from the
"Patrimonium Petri' and the Peters
Pence" two sources different from one
another. The former is constituted by
the yields of gilt-edged investments
and properties belonging to the VaVti-
can, besides the dues for dispensations5
notably in connection with marriages.
Peters Pencils voluntary tribute Of
Catholic Christendom. In the seven
ties and eighties the Peters Pence"
enriched the papal treasury every
| year by s2,5O0,000, two-thirds of
which came from France. Since then,
however, the tribute has considerably
decreased. Nevertheless, under the
reign of Leo XIII. the Golfers were
fully replenished on the occasion of
his numerous jubilees in 1888, 1898,
| 1900, and finally in 1903. The pres
| ents given Leo XIII. at each of these
| jubilees amounted to from $5,000,O00
| to s15,OOO,00O. While these presents
are looked upon as the pope's per-
sonal property they are used to main
tain5the papacy. The Peters Pence"
is at the entire disposal of the pope.
