A School GirI's Essay.

The following extract from a school girls essay comes from a high school in India, and was published in the monthly magazine of the school: King Henry 8, was the greatest widower that ever lived. He was born at Anna Domino in the year 1066. He had 510 wives, besides children. The 1st was beheaded, the 2d was revoked. She never smiled again. She said the word Calais would be found on her heart after her death. The greatest man in this reign was Lord Sir Garrett Wolsey. He was sirnamed the Boy Bachelor. He was born at the age of fifteen unmarried. Henry 8 was sue ceeded on the throne by his great Grand Mother, the beautiful and ac- complished Mary Queen of Scots, sometimes known as the Lady of the Lake, or the Lay of the Last Min gtrel."

Warranted a Speedy Cure.

Dr. William Osler, in one of his Bal timore lectures, recited quaint old cure for the gout-a cure, from a sev- enteenth century medical work, that was designed to show gout's hopeless. ness. "First pick" said this odd cure, "a handkerchief from the pocket of a spinster who never wished to wed; sec ond, wash the handkerchief in an hon. est miller's pond; third, dry it on the hedge. of person who never was cove. tous; fourth, send it to the shop of a physician who never killed a patient, fifth, mark it with lawyers ink who never cheated client; and, sixth, ap. ply it. hot, to the gout-tormented part. A speedy cure must follow"

THE WOMAN AT WORK.
A Problem that Is a Practical, Not .
 Sentimental One.

Sentimental One.
 A trade school for girls (such a school as was not long ago established in Boston, Is venture more signif1- cant than on the surface appears, says Scribner's. The aim of the trade school is-or should be-to furnish those novel things, specific knowledge and detailed practical information to girls of the working classes. And 1t has been thought recently that 1t would be helpful move to enlist the interest of some of the women's clubs in the enterprise.
 The point directly at issue is wheth- CT the aid of the women's clubs would truly further the efficiency of the girls trade schools.
 In order that it should 1t would be necessary that the anlmating spirit of women's clubs in relation to subjects affecting working girls should be prac- tical purely and not philanthropic. This is rarely the case. The sentimental consideration almost always obtrudes itself in some form or other. Women s clubs have themselves existed too short time, relatively, and the whole move ment they express is too new, not to be still, so to say, in the metaphysical rather than the scientific stage. That all the practical problems of women's lives must be solved practically, how ever, if they are to be solved at all, is something that men are more apt to be able to see than the sex itself.
 If this is not to be done it is really vain confusion to bring up the prac- tical problems in any way. The trade school, if it teaches respect for thor oughness and single-minded devotion to specialized efficiency, must also teach subordination of the personality of the sex-the setting aside of privi- lege. Anything else is illogical. Too many forces in American life war against this result-so much so that there is always a danger of any trade school for girls degenerating into es- sentially shortcut" school. In the present day and generation shortcut schools of all kinds may be indispensa- ble: but we should do well frankly to acknowledge, all the same, that as agents of genuine intellectual and moral growth little can be claimed for them.

Too Good to Lose.

The peculiar state of affairs has re- suited from the recent orders that twenty Cincinnati policemen should bring down their weight. Each day the men wrestled, juggled Indian clubs, heavy dumbbells, Topped over horizontal bars and circled the track in the police gymnasium until their lips were blue. Then Chief Milliken had a report filed with him as to the weights of the officers. To his amaze ment several had increased in avoir- dupois. The others had cut down their weight very little. The chief will ask the mayor to allow the heavy weights to remain in their class.

WhoeIs for vehIoroy.

Attention has been called by techni- cal writers to the fact that the wheels of vehicles intended for driving roads have not kept pace in development with the other parts of carriage mech anism. Experiments with heavy ve- hicles indicate that wheels should be made both higher and broader. In En- gland 1t has been recommended that with a maximum axle load of eight tons the width of tire should be about ten and half inches. Increase of the diameter of the wheel is said to be more effective in preventing damagr t0 roadbeds than width of tire.

Mercury and the Sun.

The distance of Mercury from the sun varies owing to the eccentricity of it's orbit. When he is nearest to the sun he receives ten and half times more light and heat than we do, but when he removes to his greatest dis tance the light and heat are reduced by more than one-half. Even then, however, the sun blazes in the skies of Mercury with disk four and a half times larger than that which he shows to us on earth.

Nothing Funny.

"Some time ago when l used to submit automobile jokes to the editor he used to laugh heartily over them and accept dozen. Now when I take the same jokes in he turns them down and threatens to put me out. What has caused the changer"
 "I'll tell you," whispered the copy boy. "The editor has an automobile of his own now and he finds there is no joke about them. Gasoline gave out and he had to walk ten miles the other day"
