ENGLAND'S UNDERFED SCHOOL
CHILDREN

The striking evidence gathered by the
Royal commission on physical training
in Scotland and the interdepartmental
committee on physical degeneration
cannot be ignored. Psychologists, gene
raj practitioners, medical officers of
health, inspectors of schools, teachers,
were agreed as to the deplorable preva-
lence of understanding. The special
school board committee Of 1885 reported
that the London School Dinners associ-
alton alone gave 122,605 meals a week
to board school children, of which one
hundred and ten thousand were given
free. Yet some districts appear to have
been scarcely touched. DR.. Eichhoiz,
inspector Of schools, found that in one
school in a very bad district ninety
per cent. of the children are unable, by
nreason Of their physical condition, to
attend to their work in a proper way,
While thirty-three per cent. during six
months of the year, from October to
March, require feeding" He estimated
the number of actually underfed chill
dren in London schools as approximate
ly one hundred and Neutrality-suspicious.
sand, or sixteen per cent. of the ele-
mentary school population. This does
not cover the number of children i'm
properly fed. w. H. Libby said that a
feeding agency in Lambeth COPIED with
from twelve to fifteen per cent. of the
school children, and in the poorest dis
tricts twenty-five to thirty per cent.
DR.. w. L, Mackenzie, medical officer to
the local government board for ScotS
land, said that in the slums of Edin-
burgh large proportion of children
were half-starved. DR.. Kelly, Catholic
Bishop Of Ross, said that in the south
of ireland children commonly came to
school underfed. All the evidence went
to confirm the statement of DR.. Mac

Pening in Bristol, in this State. Claim
ing that Carmenita Minetto, who came
to Bristol from Sicily about three years
ago, is a witch, and has exerted bad
influence upon the local italian colony,
about a hundred men and women ap-
peared before Chief of Police Ernest
Belden Saturday afternoon and de-
manded the arrest of the alleged sor-
ceress. Upon the chiefs refusal to
take any action, the colony became
greatly excited and threatened to kill
Mrs. Minetto. She applied for police
protection, which was furnished her,
but an outbreak is feared at any time.
What will happen in Bristol remains
to be seen, but we hope nobody will be
harmed there for being believed to be
witch. There are no witches in Con-
necticut now, and those who might
have been bewitching have spoiled their
chances by buying and wearing the new
Spring hats.

SOME FREAKS OF GOLF BALLS.

Fell in Odd Places-Killed Birds and on
One Occasion Sheep.
1t does not often happen that a bird
falls victim to golf ball in flight, al
though such mishap has occurred in
two or three instances.
Not long ago an incident Of this kind
was reported from Raynes Park Golf
Club, 1t took place in the course Of a
bogy competition. One Of the players, a
Mr.. Croker, having driven off at the
elevnth tee. his all created some as
constituent by coming in contract with
q lark in midair and literally knocked
off its head.
A similar incident happened last sea-
son but one on the ground of the Birk-
dale Club. Two members were playing
a round when one Of them made a
Ibrassy shot. The ball was in full flight
when bird of the wagtail was seen
crossing the line of flight, and the next
moment both objects came into col
lision at a distance of about forty
PAGES from the striker.

A CHANGE.

A good many people in this blessed
and rather high-priced country have
been consoling themselves with the no
ton that when they got able they
would go to Europe where they could
live cheaper. Perhaps by the time they
get able they may not find living there
much cheaper than it is here Prices
seem to be going up all over Europe.
AT a Joint meeting Of the Hotel Proprie-
tors Association and Restaurant Keep
ers' union in Strassburg recently. all
prices on the bill of fare were advanced
from 10 to 80 CENTS from May l. One
restaurant proprietor who was inter-
viewed said they were obliged to in
crease their prices to customers in con-
sequence of the continual advance in
the prices of meat, vegetables and other
food products of Strassburg. He stat
ed that they were also obliged to pay
higher prices for labor. This advance
he claimed was in some cases equal to
so per cent, and he cited as an example
his cook, who now receives 100 marks
per month, and whose former wages
were but so marks. He also stated that
| there had been an advance in the prices
for cooking utensils. 1t is said similar
advances have been made by hotels and
restaurants in various parts of Ger
many. There appears to be a decided
upward tendency in prices in Germany,
which will doubtless make it more diff
ficult for German exporters to compete
with other countries in foreign mark
cts. These advances pertain to raw ma
terials, manufactured products and la
Dor.
And so forth and so on. Perhaps il
is only in Heaven that things will be
exactly and thoroughly pleasant.

GOING 10 GROW.

The United States navy is going to
grow some this year. The Virginia.
Rhode Island and New Jersey are al
ready in commission, but as YET unas-
signed. The Connecticut and Louisiana
are so close to completion that they
may be ready for commissioning at any
day, and the Minnesota and Vermont
are expected to reach completion by
October next, and in addition to these
new and fine battleships, four of
the big armored cruisers will doubtless
be ready for assignment also by early
fall. 1t is considered hardly likely that
the government will obtain the services
of the California and South Dakota for
some little time after the period arrang-
ed for their completion. They are be-
ing built by the Union Iron Works at
San Francisco, and work has had to
cease on them on account of the earth
quake. AS the construction company
was not to blame in the matter the de-
partment granted it the extension OF
time it asked for. and work will be re-
commenced on these vessels as quickly
as circumstances will permit.
We shall soon be able to feel as big
as any of them, that is, If we can get
the men to man our new warships.
Good men are not applying for chance
to become United States sailors as
eagerly as the United States would like
to have them. But there will probably
be enough after awhile.

ing, in approaching the hole, landed a
ball on the top Of the clubhouse. This
little incident did not, however, upset
his equilibrium very much. AS nimbly
as he could he followed the bail to tina
roof, and from that coign of dis
advantage played it so well that he
was successful in securing a half of a
hole which everybody considered ire
trievably lost.
A similar scene was once witnessed
on the st. Andrew links in the course
of three-ball match One of the
players happened to drive his ball onto
the corrugated iron roof of a shed and,
in the. belief that he had consequently
given up the hole, the other two calm.

the next moment. there was a great

Secretary Root believes that without

framing a treaty which would have to
be urged through the senate, the mat

cash by the party found to have the
best of the claims. Here's hoping that
his belief is well founded. He is enti-
tied to credit for making the effort.

The report comes from Washington
that Secretary Root is having a careful
study made of the claims of England
against the United States and the
claims of the United States against
England, with view to getting them
settled. It seems that such matters
might be easily settled between such
good friends as England and the Unit
ed States now are, but it isn't so easy
as it seems. For instance, one of the
obstacles in the way of easy agreement
upon these claims is the famous Fred
erick Gearing case. This American
fishing vessel was seized a number of
years ago in Canadian port for alleg-
ed violation of the fishing laws, and in
spite of a vigorous protest by this gov
eminent was condemned and sold, and
mo restitution was made to the owners.
The New England senator's still feel
what they declare to have been the in
justice of this procedure, and are firm
in their contention that no agreement
shall be made for the settlement Of
claims of America against Great Brit
ain that does not provide first of all for
the adjustment of this claim. The Brit
ish government, however, asserts the
matter is adiudicated, that ths casa

The Vacant Lot.

Sing of your hills and wales ant
streams,
And each remembered spot
You knew of yore, but leave for me
The good old vacant lot,
Where we chose sides, and every day
We tossed the ball of yore,
And where we used three figures
In marking UP the score
The days when curved balls were un'
known,
And spitballs not at all,
And when the pitchers effort was
TO let you hit the ball.
And nalf of the days battle was
The wrangle and the shout,
And only darkness stopped it,
And over the fence was out.
Go way back yonder If you will
To daisied ways of June,
And shaded ways and sunny ways,
And ways beneath the MOON
And dream Of tall and shagbark trees
And rocky glen and grot;
But leave for me the bunch of kids
In the old vacant lot.
I nine for "Podgeen" Dooley,
And for "Pothe1ly" Pierce,
And Bill. and Joe, and Mark, and Pat,
And battles long and fierce;
The wrangling and the jangling
OF the boys / used to know,
The chip upon the shoulder,
The dare and coward blow"
It's nice to think OF later years,
And maidens slim and tall;
But, oh, the vacant lot was good
Where once we played at ball;
The wrangling and the jangling,
The chips and coward blows"
When we fell out and some one got
A swift punch on the nose.

is in q fine state of preservation. Coarse

fashioned out of granite and the other

and the sticks were as fresh looking
