PRESENT
PROGRAM
National Educational Assoc.
iatiOn Meet In
Chicago

Chicago, Jan. 13.-After several con-
ferences in this city the officers of the
National Educational association have
completed the program for the annual
Convention of the association which
will be held at Asbury park next July.
Besides the general meetings the pro-
gram provides for several of the 1s
departments, covering every phase of
popular education. Each department
will hold from two to three sessions,
with from three to FIVE papers and FIVE
or six addresses under the head of dis
cussions.
An effort was made by the associa-
tion to secure President Roosevelt for
b speech on July 4, but he sent word
that he would like to celebrate that
day with his family, and that he would
appear ON Friday, July Z.
Sociology and education will be the
general theme carried throughout the
addresses. The opening address Mon
day night will be by President William
If. Maxwell. DR.. William T. Harris,
United States commissioner of educa-
tion, will speak the same night on
''The Compensation of Teachers. :"
Mayor George B. Mcclellan, of New
York, will speak on Tuesday, and also
President E. A. Anderson, of Tulane
university. Andrew s. Draper and
Carroll D. Wright will speak on We'd
nesday, while on Thursday evening
Professor L. D. Harvey, of Menomonie,
Wis, will talk on manual training and
technical instruction.
A phase of the program that is of
especial interest is that portion which
deals with technical schools. There
are now practically no technical or
trade schools under the authority of
boards of education. For the purpose
of learning something about the tech
nical schools of Europe the association
has invited Professor Blair, of London,
England to give the desired informa-
tion in the form of an address or lee
ture. Professor Blair is superintendent
of the technical schools of London.

Foreign Markets.

A late number of the Kentish OBJ

rather better demand for hops of
medium quality the trade generally has
continued quiet, and there appears to
be no prospect of the large growths of
East and Mid Kents moving off this
side of Christmas unless, indeed, hold
ers are prepared to accept the ridicu-
lously low prices offered. The bulk
of the business is confined to hops be-
tween 9S and 60 per cwt.

Reports from New York state show
that during the past week between 500
and 600 bales of hops have been sold
by growers at prices ranging from soc
to 32c, and in consequence better
feeling appears to have developed
there. Reports from the Pacific Coast
indicate sales of small lots at prevail
ing prices. On the local market a
quiet trade is the feature with prices
unchanged. Advices from London
would also indicate continued very
quiet market and whatever inquiry ex-

The English Hop Market.
(From the London Times.)
Earlier than ever before the board
of agriculture has issued the annual
preliminary statement relating to the
total production of hops and the esti-
mated yield per acre in this country;
the table was printed in our columns
on Saturday. This is the first install
ment of what are generally known as
the agricultural produce statistics, and
it will probably be followed some
weeks hence by similar statements con-
cerning this years total production
and yield per acre of the cereal and
other crops in Great Britain. The cul-
tivation of hops in Great Britain is re-
stricted, as is well known, to some
half dozen counties of England, the
total extent of hops outside these
counties being only 1SS acres, as com
pared with 47,6l1 acres withthem.
The total production of hops this
year estimated at 1880 cwt., is seen
to be as much as 13S,73S cwt. less than
last years crop, which was estimated
at 421,06s cwt. The crop of 1904 is
thus 33 per cent, or one-third, smaller
than that of 1908, although this year s
extent of hops was almost the same as
that of last year, being only 1873 acres
less. The present is the Goth consec-
utive year in which the produce of the
hop crop has been officially estimated
in England. Within this period the
estimated total production has huctu-
ated between a maximum of 776,144
cwt. and minimum of 2Sl,921 cwt.,
the former having been recorded in
1886 and the latter in 1888, two years
later. This. years total production of
2S2, $3.50 cwt. escapes being the lowest
on record by the trivial quantity Of
420 cwt.

Divorce in Burmah.

There is something to be said for
Burmah. If the Burmese husband and

CHAPTER VIII.

DEVOTED TO NATURAL HISTORY,
EXHIBITING THE LIFE OF COURT
BUTTERFLIES, A GLIMPSE AT THE
KING BUTTERFLY, AND HOW A
SPIDER SPINS HIS WEB.
1t was already past one O'Clock when
La Sale and Tonti approached the
Louvre. On the grand staircase they
were passed by several %personages who
hurried on without noticing them.
Others followed behind more slowly.
A steady stream of humanity flowed
up the broad stairs and on into the
Grand Sale; gay, laughing faces the
most. of them, with here and there the
grave looks of a priest. Gallants a
plenty in rich attire; soldiers fresh
from the field with bold glances for
the women, and a naughty stare and
a hand touching the sword-hilt for the
men about them; here and there an Of
ficer of the kings guards; ladies Of the
court with hair dressed a la hurluburlu,
cheeks marked by the rouge-pot and
the patch, and gowns of rarest beauty
and extravagant cost. Here too came
Racine, the tragic muse of his age;
Boileau,, the Horace of France; La Fon-
tame, the trif1er in words; and Madame
de Sevigne, whose virtue and literary
talent were destined to immortalize
her name when those of the many
beautiful women of this infamous court
who far outshone her in witchery, wit,
and %wickedness would be preserved
only in the widowed pages of some
long-forgotten chronicle of the day.
1t was through such a crowd that La
| Sale and Tonti made their way and
mingled with the throng that filed
the Grand Sale. His majesty diHed

We got breakfast at another ia

a miniature pile driver, run by steam,
which was driven around outside of

drove down the big stakes SO quick
it would make your head swim, and
the grounds were covered with Peoria
people who wanted to see how it was
done.

by walking around the lot with his
coat over his arm, and a dirty shirt

FIND USE FOR PERlWINKLES
Formerly Despised shellfish Make
an Excellent Bait for
Goldfish.

The despised periwinkle, which
overruns the waters of Long Island
sound, and which for years has been
considered worse than useless, has
suddenly taken on a marketable value,
and the oystermen are reaping a good
harvest from their capture.
The periwinkle has become valuable
because the Goldfish, never before
known to be an epicure, has taken a
liking to him. Their tender tails are
now the most delicious morsel for Mr..
Gods table, and even the tough body
part of the periWinkle is now gobbled
by the cod in preference to cuttlefish,
herring or clans.
This peculiar within of the Goldfish
was only recently discovered by the
eastern fishermen, who had been won
dering why the fish did not take hold
of the usual bait. AS there are few or
no periwinkles in the eastern waters
the fishermen of that region are now
sending to the west end of the sound
for periwinkles, which are shipped
east by the barrel.
The periwinkle is a g%astropod she'll
fish, a large salt water snail in fact
the shell of which runs from a minute
size up to seven and eight inches In
length. The part of the body which
projects from the shell proper is pro-
tected with a thin, transparent cover
ing, and the body is tough. while the
tail within the shell is soft and ten
der.
Perwinkles feed upon the oysters
and for this all that have been caught
for many years have been broiled tc
death, together with the starfish and
the drills, the other oyster pests, and
then thrown into the sound again. A
successful industry is 10Y promised

This is a place Of amusement, and all
connected with the show are expected
to heal up sores, instead of causing
bruises, and If you ever see an EN-.
ploye of this show treating a visitor
unkindly, send him to the ticket wagon
to get his wages, and tell him to go

You could have lit a match to pas
face, 1t was so red hot, but he learned
a lesson, for l saw him holding a tired
mothers baby up IN his shoulders, so
it could see the drove of camels come
up to the lot from the train, soon after.
It was great to see all the tents go up
as II raised by machinery, and after
all were erected, and the rings were
graded, and the animals in the
m%enagerie tent all fed and watered,
and the performers in the dressing
room ready for the afternoon perform

trance, looking wise, and he was SO
good natured that hs bet ten dollars
he could guess which walnut shell a
bean was under, which a three-card
monte man was losing money at, and
pa lost his ten with a smile. He said
he wanted to be kind to the patrons
of the show.

though l told him to keep away, cause
he would get into trouble. First he
stumbled over n of her shoes, and
said he thought he had told every
body to keep their telescope valises
in the baggage car, and that made her
mad. Then he reached in the berth
and got hold of one Of her feet, and
pa got the men to help, and they got
her out, but she seemed all squshed to-
gether. She sat up all night and want
ed to lean on pa, but the skeleton kept
his head over the rail of the upper
berth and his snake-like eye never left
pa all night.
The bearded woman got up out
Of her berth about daylight, to GO
to the toilet room for a shave, or
a hair cut, or something, and when
she saw pa trying to soothe the fat
woman and hold her from breaking in
two, she screamed and slapped pas
face, and had a mess Of Mysteries.
The fat grabbed a couple OF
handfuls Of female whiskers, and was
going to pull them out by the roots,
when the bearded woman begged her
not to pull them out, as to lose her
whiskers would destroy her means Of
livelihood.
Then the bugle blew for every
body to get up and go to the
show lot, and put up the tents for
the first show Of the season. When
we got out of the sleeper we asked
where we were, and a man told pa we
we're at Peoria, ILL.,, and he wanted
pa to give him a complimentary ticket
for telling what town we were in, but
pa looked fierce at the man and asked
what kind Of an easy mark he took

You wouldn't think they could unload
those two trains of cars, about so in
all, in a week, but when we got out
the horses were hitched on the wag-
ons, and in Is minutes they were load
ed and on the way to the lot, and pa
and l got on the first wagon.
Talk about system. The survey
ors were there ahead of us, and
had measured off the lot and pushed
wire stakes in the ground where
the grub tent was to be, and
when the first wagon of the grub
outfit arrived, which contained a
big range, big enough to cook for a
thousand men. stove pipes were put on,
which telescoped up into the air, and
in two minutes a fire was built and
bacon and potatoes and coffee were
cooking, local bread wagons were I'M
loading bread on the grass, so men put
up poles and spread the tent on, and
others set up tables in the tent, and
in half an hour breakfast was served
to the first 500 men. Pa and l

was a yell to put 'em out" and we
found we had sat down to the table

slack, the Dog Killer

"Jack, the Dog Killer" has made his
appearance in Alton, st. Louis county.
Within the last week Gene Sappington,
Mrs. Ella Busch, James Meckaye and
George B. Bowles have lost valuable
CANNES. Bowles had four dogs de-
stroyed. One of them, a foxhound, was
valued by it's owner at S100. The
method of the dog-killer is to set put
meat, upon which broken pieces OK
glass are strewn. The animals all died
within an hour after eating the meat,
in great agony. The cause of their
deaths was not definitely known until
Bowles performed a post-mortem on
his hound and found the glass. The
residents are aroused over the depre-
dations of the maliciously inspired in
dividual, and are making every effort
to discover his identity.
