,36oo. Quest; WHat is meant BY TIE
Prye1ea stock 9ratdreaG corPorafions?
Ans: 1t is stock on which it is agreed
dividend to a certain amount annually
shall be paid before n profits shall be
otherwise divided. A company needs,
say, FIVE millions more in money to ex-
tendits line or make improvements, which
amount it annot get by any further is
sue of its common stock. Instead of
selling bonds, it issues preferred stock TO
the amount needed, saying in effect to
those who buy it: "We may not earn
enough money to pay any dividends at
once to our present stockholders; but
we can surely make enough to pay 6 or
7 per cent on this five millions, and we
pledge our earnings to make such pay
ments to you before we pay anything to
other stockholders. These last will on
" receive dividends after you are salts
fed" Sometimes the preferred stock is
cumulative-that is, it is stipulated that
if the dividend is not made as promised
in one year it shall be doubled the next,
the claim piling up larger and larger
with each successive lapse. But pre-
ferred" is not always a better invest
ment than common stock. Unless
otherwise provided. the earnings of the
preferred stock are strictly limited to
the annual percentage specified; while
by good management the common stock
may earn several times as much.

Annapolis and West Point.

University School.
 In this day of practical politics and to call attention to an unfortunate application of the doctrine: "To the victors belong the spells" The case in point IS one where the very m oS]ees fsd by favoritism inconsistent with the underlying principles of our demo. congressmen in making appointments to the Naval Academy at Annapolis and the Military Academy at West Point.
 The law at present provides that may appoint two candidates, who, on passing satisfactory entrance examina- lions, will be duly enrolled in the in- stitution to which they have been ap- pointed. Other appointments are then to be made as vacancies occur. The Senators and Representatives may select whom they please. the only stipu- meet the entrance requirements.Thus is presented the opportunity for a politi- cal favoritism that is antagonistic to the ideals upon which our national schools were founded and that must make for a lower general average in the student body.
 Many of the appointments are made on political grounds and probably most Under such circumstances 1t could hardly be expected that the academies get the best students to be found.
 to the people and not to a political party Supported by legislative appro- priation of the peoples money. these schools are under the special protection and patronage of our national govern ment, for whose preservation in time of war they specially train our young men, This expert training cannot be How vastly important 1t Is then for the maintaining of our national traditions and ideals that these schools be opened to the most deserving of the whole people absolutely regardless of party affiliations or ties of friendship. More over from the standpoint of the stu dent body Itself. in order to do the best work under the most favorable clrcum- young men who feel they have some how or other won or earned the great privileges they enjoy. Can simple appointees ever feel this? Is 1t pos through political favoritism and pat ronage to have the same esprit de corps IS body of young fellows who secured for them a chance to show what Is in them?
 Let our national schools be open to all the people. and let them hold ont equal rights to all, special favors to none. So and so only can they ex- emplify the underlying principles of our government and secure and develop the most capable and worthy young men of the land.
 How Is 1t to be done? The an- swer Is simple. Let each represen- tative hold examinations open to all in his district and make his appointments on the returns. This Is no new idea, it has been done repeatedly. Let 1t be the rule, or if necessary be enacted as a law. Continued neglect Of this simple protection will make our na- tional schools the victims of politics, the hotbeds of snobbery, and altogether less etficient.-S. C. S.

A Russian Cyclopaedia.

The Russians, with all their trou- bles. seems to have had time and the inclination to devote their energies to the making of a huge encyclopaedia. the completion of which, in forty-one volumes, is announced from St. Pet ersburg. Work on the "Entisklopedi- cheska Slovar" was begun in 1890. or. to be more exact, the first volume was issued in that year under the edi- torship of Prof. Andreyeyski, and the concluding volumes have just appeared under the editorial direction of NM Arseneif and Petrushevski. No fewer than 750 contributors have collabora- ted to make the work complete and as nearly perfect as such things can ever hope to be. The encyclopaedia was originally based on Brockhaus's "Kon- versationslexikon,' and the work was to have been completed in fifteen or sixteen volumes, but 1t expanded as 1t grew, unt til it assumed It's present form as an independent and original work. It is described as a marvellous store house of information concerning the Empire of the Czars, incomparably more complete and instructive than anything previously published about the country How some of the infor- nation in the work escaped the press censors will be a mystery to foreign readers; the essential facts are all there, and the seeker for light can draw his own conclusions from them. provided he can read the Russian lan- guage.

~Ain,t You the Hearse Many"

I GHllduelpHld TIeSS
 The Rev. pr. Kerr Boyce Tupper, at the service held by the Philadelphia in the Walnut Street Theatre last Sun in the Walntu Street Theatre last Sun day told this story:
 T was out walking a few days ago when I saw several little boys and girls playing in a side street. l all ways carry some pennies in my pock- cts to give to children who l think would appreciate the gift. so I dis tributed them among these little ones. They thanked me, and 1 started to walk away, when I noticed one of the girls following me. At the next cor ner she was still walking near me, evidently wanting to say something. l stopped and asked her what she want ed. She replied:
 "'When I die I want you to drive me-
 Not understanding what she meant I asked her to repeat her request, and she again said:
 "'When I die I want you to drive me. Amt you the hearse manT'
 The little girl hau never seen any one wear a high silk hat except at a funeral, and she nSturally supposed that I must be the driver of hearse. promised, if possible, to be present at her funeral, and, apparently satis- fled that her request would be grant ed. she ran back to play with her com naniOnS.

WHAT NEXTF

That scientist who claims that man. kind has reached its highest stage of development. and that the human race and reptile condition. has a point to sustain him in the case of the Denver man who is growing a new leg in place of the one recently amputated. We don't know whether this Is a case of reversion or of anticipation. It Is of animal life when a leg or other member is removed another will grow out to supply the loss. Perhaps the case of the Denver man Is merely reversion of nature back to the time when the mans ancestors were squids or something of the kind. Then again this growing leg may be an anticipa- tion of the time when we will all be crabs or some other low order of things But if the story Is true, and if a new limb Is actually growing. and if 1t is due to any cause which science can understand and repeat, we may look forward to the time when wooden legs will go out of business.
 The truth is that we are every day becoming more and more impressed with the significance of Hamlet's re- mark; There are more things in Heaven, and earth. Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" All most eevry day we read of surgical op- erations which would have been con- sidered wholly impossible a few cen- turies ago.

The Cremation of the Dead.

The Independent.
 It is just twenty years ago that the first regular crematory of the United large cities. About $500 incinerations are now made every year in this coun. try. As indicative of the progress or the movement the number of inciner. ten years are of interest: 1895. 269; 1896, 330; 1897. sS1: 1898. 4sS; 1899.

The d San an,v tpanSlsGS tsn Tasrs ago. and has a much smaller popu- lation in it's vicinity. yet in 1902 there were 974 incinerations.
 Five years ago there were less than 300 incinerations in Paris; in l9O3' there were 6,62S. This includes. how ever, the bodies of paupers and suf- cidss. A beautiful crematorium IS now being. built in Pere-Lachaise. The first crematorium owned by a municipality is that of Hull, England, opened Tn 1901. Cremation is coming into vogue among the aristocracy Of Englano. ana many British peers have in recent for cremation. Columbariums have been erected on several estates instead of family mausoleums. In Germany: notwithstanding the opposition or nation in Prussia. Barvaria,. saxony and other States, there arc eignty-sIx cremation societies. and the number of incinerations has doubled in the last five years. .,
 The chief oppositionA to cremation has come from the Roman W,,, Catnorc nrnSibc tied it. The late Marquis of Butte. British and Catholic peer. left peremp- tory orders to have his remains Tn cinerated, but since this would deprive him of the rites of the Church ms family snd executors appealed ahs db,,eae {o sae tion. and it was decided that testa- mentory commands of this character are not binding. It seems, however, that the decree of the Pope asalns' cremation Is not universal and inflexl- bie and irrevocable. for only last month Catholic priests in Augsburg conducted the usual religious services over the remains of Gens von Aylan- der before they were conveyed tn Jena for incineration. and the Catholic pa pers say that this was done under ln- structions from high ecclesiastlcal au- |

TT WILL NOT DO.

What docs that Chicago professor expect to gain by trying to make us believe that the 4th Of July should come on August 18th? Or. to put 1t differently. he ayers that the latter date Is the one on which Independence was really proclaimed. Does he expect that day which has been celebrated for more than a century and quarter will be changed because of what he thinks he has learned? If he does he has another robust think coming to him. For many centuries there were arguments and disputations relative to the day on which Christmas should come, but the Christian world has set tied on the 18th of December, and 1t wil remain. It is the same with inde- pendence Day, only there has hereto fore been no dispute as to the day. Old Independence Hall and the declar- ation are inseparably associated with the 4th of July and the man who tries to pry them apart should be sent to Colorado, or some other bad place. Old and young alike reverence the day as
 
 no rude hand must be laid on 1t. As our sub-tropical contemporary, The Monterey News. puts 1t. the people know and respect 1t. and it will re- quire something more than the state ment of college professor, 1t matters not how learned he may be in the his- tory of the country, to change the date of the celebration. Even though the professor is correct, think how 1t would sound to talk about the Glorious Eighteenth" and measure orators by their ability to make an Eighteenth of August" speech. It would require a stretch of Americas ability to adapt itself to a new order of things before 1t could reach that stage to accommo- date the gentleman from Chicago"
