ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR.
Seventeen ExcursiOnists Killed and
Fifty Injured Pm an Erie Train
at Midvale, N. J.

New York, July 1l.-Seventeen per
sons were killed and about SO injured
in a collision at Midvale. N. j.. just
before noon, when a regular passenger
train ON the Greenwood Lake branch
Of the Erie railroad ran into an excur-
sion train that had stopped to take
water. All the dead and injured lived
in Hoboken, Jersey City and New
York. The accident is believed to have
resulted from a tower operator having
lowered his signal too soon and this
vas admitted by d. W. Cooke, general
passenger agent of the Erie railroad,
who gave out a statement in which he
said: 1.-THE operator In the tower
failed to set the block signal against
the train following"
The train which was run into was q
special carrying members Of the first
Piattdeuscher association of Hoboken
on their annual outing and had 800
passengers. 1t consisted of IL cars and
two engines. The first engine had
taken water and the train had moved
Up and stopped with the second engine
beside the tank, when the regular train
lrew near. The fagman of the spe-
signaled the engineer Of the on
train, but owing to a curve in
he road his flag was not seen until
late. II In claimed thai The enpf-
leer of the regular train had slowed
own to about ten miles an hour before

GRAPE JUICE PREPARATIONS
Products Of Turkey Which May Be
Worthy Of Imitation in the
United States.

desire to call the attention Of Ameri-
can grape growers to several Turkish
preparations from grape Juice which
strike me as worthy of consideration,
possibly Of imitation.
Basduk.-Freshly expressed grape
juice is evaporated down to the consis-
tency OF molasseS. A considerable
amount OF -four or starch is mingled with
1t and the mixture Is spread In thin sheets
upon cotton cloth and exposed for two
days to the sunshine. After drying,
these are then removed from the cotton
Ia damp cloth being applied to the re-
verse side In order to loosen the sheets),
and for three months they are preserved
in tightly closed jars. After this period
there seems to be no risk of decomposi-
ton in the product, which resembles
leather in pliability and appearance, the
color being that of the grapes employed
at the outset.
Kessme-This preparation differs
rom the preceding In that coarse wheat
grits are employed. instead of flour or
starch, and the resultant product is OBJ
ta'ned IN cakes half an inch thick. after
drying on metal plates 1t is less tough
than the basduk and more savory.
SuJuk (rojik, in Armenian).-The
meats OF walnuts are strung closely to-
gether ON pieces of stout Irvine a yard
long. These strings are immersed in
tne mixture Of grape moiasses and -four
above, and after receiving a
coating about one-fourth OF an inch in
thickness are withdrawn and hung I'D
TO dry.
The hast two are preserved for a few
months in jars, as in the case of the
These three preparations are excel
ent ARTICLES of food, the last two being
specially savory. They offer much
lutrfment in a compact form, and are
well adapted for the needs
the oriental traveller.
In these days Of grape cures" when
Lnfermented grape Juice is prepared on
large scale for the use Of invalids and
ne anemic during the months when
resi- grapes are not easily obtained, it
hight be well to consider whether these
ondensed forms Of grape Juice might
ot be advantageously introduced into
-merican dietaries.
Personally, l have found these grape
reparations attractive and satisfactory
editions to the somewhat limited list
comestibles available In this region
exceedingly convenient when Jour
sying.

FANCY TASKS In SCHOOLS.
Much Time IL Taken Up By Pupils In
Leernins Things of No Use
to Them.

The fathers and mothers Of New Yori
are beginning to waken to the fact tina
there is altogether too much fancy teach
ing In the public schools, and no
enough Of the solid essentials; that tn,
children are drilled in the fancy
branches and do not know how to reat
AID spell. That a common school edu.
nation has become something uncom.
non, indeed. says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
A committee acting in behalf of Comp
troller Grout has been looking into the
matter. Their report is full of meat.
Teachers and pupils" they say. ARE
called upon to do not too much, per-
haps, but too many things to permit
their doing anything well or thor
oughly."
ut will hardly be commended" again
they say. that pupils graduated from
the elementary public school of this or
any other city are as well grounded and
as proficient In TIE common school
branches of study as could be desired,
or as the time and money ostensibly ap-
propriated to that end would seem to
warrant"
Some other comments made by the
committee are as follows: "A common
school education-to provide which lie
universally acknowledged to be thu
primary object of the public or com.
mon school system"
"A close examination of the courses
will lead to the conclusion that the or
binary child between the age Of 6 and IA
years cannot begin to digest the profuse
of ostehsibly mental pabu-
lum SO rigidly prescribed for him."
And here, say the fathers and moth
era, is the meat of the whole matter:
The conclusion seems to be inev-
table that a sound economy in public
school administration demands the do
ing away In elementary schools with so
much at least of instruction In special
branches as may be required in order
o afford pupils and teachers time and
opportunity for efficient prosecution Of
he ordinary school course Of study"
CHILDREN who attended the common
chools In the early days were taught
o read and spell, the elements of mathe-
1atics, the geography of the earth on
Which they dwell, the elements of gram
1ar, how to write. j..
These are old-fashioned things, in the :,
ptnion Of the professional educators of \
York. The children must draw, :
