There seems to be setting in
amongst educators, decided re-
action tending to discourage the
giving OF homew ork to pupils of
the public schools. 1t is high time
that some such movement did set
in. For years the examination
curse has blighted the usefulness
of our schools to very great
degree. A fixed standard has been
made for every lass and woe to the
teacher whose pupils do not pass"
The parents and trustees Judge
the teacher by this standard in
the majority of cases. The true
educational qualities of the teach
ing are not considered. Whether
the mind OF the children are be-
ing truly developed or merely
crammed full of facts does not
matter; he must pass the exam,
and the teacher. because of the
fact that he is judged by his sue
cess along this line and that his
position in many cases depends
upon the success of his class at
the yearly test, often against his
better judgment, assigns to young
and growing children work 10 be
done at home which if properly at
tended to would require several
hours of study. 1t requires no proof
to convince man of ordinary
intelligence that his child requires
the hours between 4 O'Clock and
bedtime for out door exercise, for
amusement, aud, when he reaches
the age when it will be appre-
ciated, for reading of general
character which will broaden the
mind and sharpen the faculties OF
the observation and discrimi-
nation as no amount of era mining
of lists Of rivers and mountains
possibly can. The years of
school life are a critical period
in the child's life and the future
health, happiness and prosperity
of many bright pupil has been
sacrificed on the alter of ex-
ans. In most cases children 90
to school too young and leave it
too soon. The bright precocious
child often grows up to be man
or woman of less than ordinary
mentality while the Ounce at
scheol very often becomes leader
among his fellows. One is led to
look for the reason. Is not the
reason 10 be found IN the fact
that thanks TO the system of cram
min! for exminations and long
hours of fatiguing home work, the
bright, clever child's brain is
overworked, he becomes sluggish
and sinks below mediocrity at an
age when it should be in its
strongest developement. The
Ounce, on the other hand, refuses
to.be overloaded with work; his
mind accepts and assimulates Just
SO much-all it is able for hence
he is a Ounce. But in after life
the result is seen in IN evenly
balanced and well developed
mind, strong character and II
physical condition not worn out

THE BACHELOR TAX.
A Plan to Punish Men Who Don't
 Marry Revived in Indiana.

A Plan to Punish Men Who Don't
 Marry Revived in Indiana.
 An old project Of taxing bachelors has recently been revived When the Indiana legislature meets at Indianap- oils in January, 1t will be asked to pass a bill introduced by a Gibson county member levying tax of 10 cents on every $1O0 salary earned by an able bodied bachelor Of more than 35 who receives more than $1,O00 an- nuaIly. It, is proposed to apply 10 per cent of this revenue to the school fund and 90 per cent. to the mainten- ance. of the various orphans homes in the state
 Indiana is not a state in which bachelors are unduly numerous. By the last census, there were 9,465 un- married men In Indiana between the ages of 45 and 55, 4,313 between 55 and 65, and 2,5O6 above 65, n total of 6,2S4, exclusive of 21, 1,536 bachelors between 8 and 45 who are to fall within the provisions of the bill, though generally bachelors between 35 and 45 are not deemed totally in colrigible and hopeless.
 How many of the 37,O0O bachelors in Indiana earn more than $1OOO a year and how many of them are able bodied are Auestions which could not be decided offhand. But that many of them, perhaps as many of them as l 10000, would fall within the provis- ions of the proposed law seems prob able, and the school fund of the state and the orphan asylums would. by the adoption of this act, be consider l ably enriched.
 Tn New York state there are 1O0,- GOO unmarried men between 35 and 45, 10000 between 45 and 55, and 1S,- 900 between 55 and 65. There are, moreover, candor compels, and femin- inc neglect accentuates the admission, ! $500 bachelors over 65-absolute irl- corrigibles.

WILL USE cocoANUT BUTTER
Compound for the Table to Be Man ufactured in Several European
 Countries.

A new butter is now being made from the milk of the cocoanut. This milk, when subjected to a tempera- ture of over 28 c. runs into a yellow oil, which is imported in great quanti- ties from India and Africa The better qualities of 1t are obtained from Cey- lon, Cochin-C China and Australia. The nut produces 60 per cent. of oil; and one acre of land planted with c0cOa- nut trees would produce over 400 pounds Of oil This has hitherto been used for fats for soap, or for ma chinery oil, and the better qualities employed in the manufacture of tex tile goods, says Worlds Work.
 In France this oil is now subjected to special treatment, and converted into butter.
 Dr. Heuner, German chemist, pro poses to buy up all the cocoanut oils and transform them into what he terms vegetable butter"
 The cocoanut butter, like that made from cows milk, contains seven per cent of soluble acid. It will keep from 15 to 20 days without showing any sign of acid reaction, and 1t con tains from 25 to 30 times less water than ordinary butter, while its slow ness in oxidizing makes 1t specially suitable for pastry and cakes, as they will not get stale so quickly when made with 1t as with other butter.
 Another advantage claimed for CO., coanut butter is that 1t seems to be an antiseptic medium, while milk is most favorable to the culture of microbes
 At the Central Hospital of Vienna, and in various hospitals in Switzer- land, experiments have been made with this new butter, and the results have been pronounced satisfactory.

Natives of That State Don't Seem to
 Care to Leave It.

Natives of That State Don't Seem to
 Care to Leave It.
 Missouri is one of the largest states in the country and the most populous of the states beyond tue sMississippir Into 1t have gone by thousands each year immigrants from other states, but from it few emigrants go and a ''man from Missouri'' is therefore a rarity in most parts of the country, particularly in the east and along the Atlantic seaboard.
 There are only $500 natives of Mis- sourt in the state of New York, a smaller number than there are natives of either Georgia, Michigan, Califor- mia, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Illinois or the District of Columbia
 Small as is the Missouri colony in New York, it is larger than the Mis- souri colony in any other city in the country, with the single exception of Quincy, III, which is near enough to the Missouri boundary line to get ire quent accessiOns from that state. Missouri people do not come east eX- cept for. brief visits, and few go to the northwest, though that is largely made up of newcomers, not only from European countries but from other American states. Moreover, by the last census there were only 400 na- tives of Missouri in Galveston and only 1,2O0 in New Orleans. In the lat ter city there were 2,0OO natives of Virginia.
 The people of Missouri have not much of the migratory disposition which characterizes the natives of most other states. They are satisfied to stay at home or to move from one part of Missouri to another. The Mis- souri Society in New York has in re- cent years been recruited by many men distinguished i'll professional or literary life, yet while the colony has become important its membership continues smaller than is the case from most other large states.
