EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

Scotland in proportion to her popu-
lation. sends more boys to college than
any other country.
japanese children begin to go TO
school when six years old. During the
first four years they learn Japanese
and Chinese; in the next four years
every child has to learn English.
Several schools in Nevada have been
compelled to close because the trustees
have found It impossible to secure
teachers, Almost as soon as they ar
rive and take charge they resign and
marry,
President Dabney, of the University
of Cincinnati, is adyocatong the form
ing Of student body at his instltu-
ton to control college ethics. lie be-
lieves that a student body, which
woul1 have general supervision over
all student affairs, would be good
thing.
Miss Helena r. Goessmann, who Is
the leader of the Catholic women's ed
ucatonal movement in the United
States, in spite of the tremendous
amount of work she is required to do
with that association, will deliver 20
lectures this winter before clubs and
colleges.
The Teachers Federation of Belgium
has compiled statistics which 60 to
show that boys from six to seven years
of age who do not attend school both
increase in stature and in weight In n
higher ratio than the boys af the same
age in a school.
The supreme court of the state OF
Washington has decided that the law
against disturbing a public school ap-
plies TO schoolboys as well as to 9th
ers. SO John Packenham, the 14-year-
old boy who disturbed his class at che
halls, has been sent to the reform

1t is reported that many Roman
Catholic colleges are to be changed

OIL is SCARCE AND HIGH.
Product of the Skunk in Maine ar
Important Article of
Commerce.

Neither tradition nor the memory OF
living man runs back to the time when
Prospect was not the skunk oil metrop-
oils of Maine. Even in the times when
angleworm oil and snake oil ran skunk
oil close race for leadership Prospect
maintained its reputation for produc.
ing more skunks to the acre and fatteI
skunks than any other town. In the
days Of the civil war Gen. Heagan, q
veteran of the conflict with Mexico
gained reputation for benevolence
and a small fortune sy extracting tht
oil from skunks and sending it to The
army hospital for the relief of the
stricken troops.
The harvest of skunk oil for 1905 has
been very much below the average, due
it is said to the fact that last June and
July were cold and wet and as grass
hoppers hatch in those months the
weather killed most of the insects in
infancy, thus cutting off the food sup
ply of the skunks. AS an Offset for the
poverty in yield, the selling price Of tbs
oil has advanced from 81 to Sc gallon
and buyers are busy collecting all tht
job lots on hand In average years d
far-sized skunk would yield quart Of
pure oil, which was worth 81, and this
sum added to the so cents to 50 received
for the pelt made skunk hunting an i'm
portant industry for the farmers and
their sons.
The skunk hunters say that the crime
of substitution has afflicted their trads
more than any other, as dealers who arr
inscriptions do not hesitate to dilute
| the genuine product of the skunk with
30 per cent, or more of hens oil, which
resembles skunk's oil in every respec
except in smell BY adding a small
quantity of the flavoring extract which
! skunks keep In stock the imitation ar
ticle can be sold to customers without
fear of detection
The practice of selling adulteratet
oils for genuine has become so wide
spread that the hunters of skunks say
that they will ask the next Legislature
to pass an act making adulteratlon {
crime punishable with a heavy fine OF
| Imprisonment. AS science Is unable tt
distinguish skunk's oil from hens oi
or goose's oil, by any test except Its
/ IL
cient to convict will be hard to secure.

said Bargle, obviously.
BY right of his Office and of his
familiarity with the place, Bargle
mounted first with his lantern, the
others trailing up after him. In a
twinkling. he had jerked the trap
door open, and stepping into the bell
chamber, peered eagerly around and
was startled by a vision of two white
faces gazing from the shadow Of one
of the bells.
why" he calculated, what are
you doing here young masters?"
For he recognized them instantly as
the squircs two sons, down at Peri
dale for holiday.
They came forward shivering, but
evidently bent on showing that they
were unperturbed.
ITS all right, Bargle," cried the
older of them; you have been long
time coming"
But why are you here, James?" in
quired the vicar, reprovingly.

But I've got the keys" muttered
Bargle.

"There was no need to come so high
as this, though"
"No. 1t was too early to begin
when we got here, so we came up ia
see what it was like in here; and all
in a jifry the trapdoor slammed down
and the candle blew out, and we'd left
the matches below. We couldn't feel
where the trap was in the dark, but
we found one of the bells" He fal-
tered, shuddering reminscently, but
added, forcing a laugh: Its your
fault really, Bargle If you hadn't
said you wouldn't ring the bells-no
bells at Christmas never heard OF
such thing!-we shouldn't have
come"
"lf you hadn't come, young mas
ters-"
Bargle stopped as if his words
choked him. He thought of the white
face he had left lying on the pillow
and could not believe it was by mere
accident or by human hands only that
the warning bell had summoned him
there in time.
"Amos!" he cried, sharply motion
