to resort to private teaching for their

these other districts. Now in all jus.

children to attend. We were only
proposing to take such portions from
the other districts that were so remote
from the school houses as to make it
impraoticahle for scholars to attend.
We were not cutting out single

other schools. We did not get a large

Disturbing Equalibrum Of Commerce.


J. Walter Lord contributes a
thoughtful article to the November
number of the North American Re-
view, under the caption "a brief re-
view of the Subject of Federal Railroad
Regulation. Therein he writes in
part as follows; Rate making, while
not an exact science, Is one requiring
special skill and training, but most
of all, thorough knowledge and close
observation Of the varying conditions
to which rates are adapted. On the
railroads Of the country, several hun
dred experts, each with large staff
Of assistants, are exclusively engaged
upon the business Of making and ad.
justIng rates. These rates have to be
changed from time to time, and not
infrequently upon very short notice.
Would it, therefore, te wise to COM
NIT this power to very small body
OF unframed men, who could not
have the opportunity to keep them
selves accurately Informed as to the
diverse conditions attending railroad
operations?"
As to the advisability to any change
in the existing eystem, Mr.. Lord
says: Assuming the right of Congress
to invest the Commission with such
power, could that body satisfactorily
adjust rates with out disturbing equli.
eDrium and without working a prefer
ence to some ports? And as meas
ure of doubtful oonstitutionality in
volving radial departure from our
previous governmental policy, to lie
preferred to an existing form of legis-
lation which has done useful service
in minimizing an evil similar to the
ones desired now to be corrected, is
Ii adyisable?"

Many years ago the wild deer that
roamed through the forests of England
used to dig holes In the earth with
their forefeebg They paved 1t out
sometimes to the depth of several
inches, sometimes foot or more.
These holes were called "scrapes," and
travellers at dusk or night or those who
We're careless about their footing often
tumbled into them. They were laughed
at for their heedlessness when they
came home covered with mud, and, as
this frequently occurred after they had
been lmblbing Il bit, they were said to
have 'got into scrape." Some Cam
bridge students took up this express
sion, and thus 1t came to be applied to
people who had got into difficulties OF
various sorts.

The desk of Salmon p. Chase, plain

about the country, their chief claim to
interest being that once some well
known man leaned over them.
Alexander Hamilton's travelling desk,
made of mahogany and measuring II
by 10 inches and 10 inches high, Is an
interesting object Upon this desk was
written much of his literary work, and
the worn green balze with which 1t is
lined attests to the use to which 1t was

several compartments for pens and

In 1706 one James Austin laid n
wager Of $500 that he would cook a
plum pudding ten feet beneath the sur
face of the Thames near Rotherhithe.
The bet was readily accepted, and
many people flocked to the appointed
locale to watch this strange exhibition
Of the culinary art Inclosed In tin
pan In the center of sack Of lime the
pudding was lowered beneath the wa
ter, where for two hours and a half It
remained. 1t was then taken up and

clared that Austin had won his wager,
