Practical Joke.

The popular local agent of this
city for a prominent Wheeling
brewery is smarting over a rath-
er reprehensible joke that was
played on him by an unknown
party few days since. He re-
ceived a forged order for a case
of beer to be delivered to an es-
Unable lady on the South Side,
and when he drove his wagon
around to the lady's residence at
an afternoon hour designated IN
the order, he discovered that a
Mothers meeting of the W. G. T.
U. was in progress. The hostess
was also deeply incensed and cha
grined over the occurrence, but
the matter was soon set right so
far as it concerned her and the
agent. The latter is vowing ven
geance on the writer of the or

Relief followed the treatment
quickly, and finally the aching
ceased. This was not my first
acquaintanceship with Doan' s

used the remedy two years ago

CARvALHO SAYS HE WAS WRONG.
Hand writing Experts Testimony in Case
of Dismissed Policeman.

Solomon Cohen who nearly ten years
ago was policeman attached to the West
l25th street station and was dismissed
by the Department when James j. Martin
was Commissioner, had a retrial yesterday
before Deputy Commissioner Lindsey.
He is likely to be reinstated, because David
n. Carvalho, the handwriting expert, who
testified at the first trial, made many i'm
portant changes in his testimony when he
testified yesterday.
Cohen was dismissed from the force on
Feb. s, 1895. He was tried with seven
other policemen, who were accused of
having run in dummy in taking the civil
service examination and the physical ex-
animation. At the first trial the police

Japan Described by the japanese.

Through the courtesy Of Mr.. Seiichi
Tegima, Commissioner General OF Japan
to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, we
have received an interesting and instruc-
tive volume of permanent value, Japan IN
the Beginning OF the Twentieth Century,
which Is published by the Imperial Japa-
nese Commission. 1t has been prepared
from official sources by Mr. Haruki lama-
waki, Secretary OF the Department OF
Agriculture and Commerce, and a member
Of the commission, and was printed In
English at Toxic. While a quaint word
crops out here and there the English is very
good and the statements are clear and COM
pact.
In over 800 pages the present state Of the
Mikado's empire is put before U.S. FIRST
we meet a description of the land and its
natural features, of the administration, OF
the land tenures, and statistical account
OF the population. Then follow the many
industries, each with brief history and &C
count OF how it is carried on; agriculture,
silk and tea raising; stock breeding, forestry,
mining, the fisheries and the many manu-
features There are recent statistics to be
found here, but the articles are more than
abstracts OF figures; they are intelligent
general descriptions OF how each handi-
work is carried on.
In the same way in the succeeding arti-
cles on trade. finance. communications,
education and 80 on, the explanation Of how
matters changed from the old to the new
makes the figures attractive. The account
of the army and navy Is very brief. At the
end is a supplement devoted to the island OF
Formosa. The book forms convenient

An elaborate History OF Education IN
the United States, of more than six hundred
closely printed pages, has been written by
Prof. Edwin Grant Dexter Of the Univer-
sity OF Illinois (Macmillans). The author
modestly, but we think needlessly, apol-
ogizes for being so brief. 1t seems to be
very well done piece Of work. presenting
compactly a great many interesting facts
and should prove useful book Of reference.
We regret to see, however. that the ex-
pectation seems to be entertained that 1t
may be used as a text book. Surely the
burden Of pedagogical lore has been made
heavy enough for unfortunate teachers.
Must they be compelled besides to load
themselves down with the past efforts and
present statistics OF education in America?
volume Of connected miscellanies by
various hands is added to the american
Sportsman's Library" In "Guns, Ammuni-
ton end Tackle" (Macmillans). The first
article is on THE Shotgun and it's Handling
by Capt. A. W. Money; the last, illustrated
in color on The Artificial Fly" by Mr.
John Harrington Keene. Between these
will be found essays on the hunting rifle,
on the theory Of rife shooting and on the
pistol and revolver, which read more like
technical papers. The contrast between
the tone OF these and that OF Capt. Moneys
article should be instructive to one curious
to understand the English "sportsman's'
point OF view.
