PRINCIPAL THOMPSON. of the Boston Com
mercial High School, has been studying the
commercial schools of the European countries
and has written an interesting letter about
them. He had a surprise or two at Neuchatel,
Switzerland, town Of less than $4,000 popu-
lation. He found the commercial school
housed in building superior to any school
structure in Boston," There was "a splendid
equipment ofaboratories." Among the seven
hundred students he found about two dozen
American boys, receiving their education for
business careers in the United States" Now
while education should not be too much ''com-
mercialized," still in this great land of ours
are we not going to the other extreme of pay
ing too little attention to the actualities2 Are
not in the main the curriculums in our higher
grade schools half ludicrous No school can
make a business man or successful man in
any calling, but more could be accomplished
if good deal of ornamental stuff were elimi-
mated from the public schools at least.

IT HAS been ascertained that Government
clerk in Washington who is IA years of age
and draws salary of 81, 200 year lives on less
than IL cents day. He declares that he is
not miser and he enjoys excellent health on
his favorite dishes of apples, eggs and rice. He
never misses day at his desk and is always
in good spirits, and is never known to grumble
or complain. He says he began life with a
battle against poverty and it started him on
good road. His restricted diet is simply
matter of choice, and he has found that he is
healthy and happy. He says he has plenty to
eat and is never hungry. He sleeps like a
baby, and for recreation and amusement he
goes for several-mile walk in the parks and
suburbs. The name of this remarkable man
is Augustus Riley and he is employed in the
War Department.

PLANS ARE rapidly maturing for the big
Jubilee and Homecoming Week that will
take place in Baltimore the week beginning
September 9th. On Wednesday, the 18th, the
big parade will take place and it is expected
that fully &c, 900 men will be in line. The city
will be gaiy decorated and the streets brilliant
ly illuminated at night. The jubilee promises
to be the biggest affair of the kind ever seen in
the Monumental City and all should lend
hand in making the event memorable one.
BALTIMORE coUNTY's big annual reunion
takes place at Timonium next week, beginning
on Tuesday, and every citizen of the county
who can possibly do so should devote at least
one day to it and show by his presence on the
fair grounds that he approves the excellent
work the management has accomplished. The
Timonium Fair is great advertisement for
our splendid county and every public-spirited
person should take pride in it and show that
pride by his patronage and encouragement.
The officers of the society, it should be born il
mind. work without compensation and for
this, as well as for many other reasons they
deserve the thanks and hearty support of the
entire county.

DISPATCH from Washington says the I'M
precedented rainfall throughout the East and
South is interesting the meteorologists of the
United States, but thus far they have not
found satisfactory answer to their scientific
inquiries as to the causes. The average rain
fall for August in the vicinity of Washington
heretofore has been less than inches, but thus
far this month august 27th) more than IL
inches have fallen. Prof Garriott, one of the
official forecasters of the Weather Bureau,
says that 1.-THE rainy season has been reversal
of the general distribution of barometeric pres
sure" This distribution" he adds, has been
unusual and abnormal. Ordinarily at this
season of the year the barometer is high over
the Southern States and low over the northern
part of the country. During the past two
months the barometer has been high in the
North and low in the South. That is the i'm
mediate cause of the long-continued spell of
wet weather. No one knows the real founda-
ton of these conditions, which has brought
more than three times the usual amount of
rainfall in the month of August"

THE BIG fight over the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor of Georgia was won by Hoke
Smith, who was Secretary of the Interior in
President CIeveIands Cabinet. There were
FIVE contestants for the nomination, Smith and
Clark Howell, the latter editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, being the most prominent, and
between them the fight was terribly bitter
and acrimonious. Through the columns OF
his paper Howell charged Smith with almost
every known crime. 10 one article he said
that the first time he ever heard of Smith This
name was reeking with the slime Of so foul a
scandal that fond mothers stopped their
daughters ears when his name was uttered"
He continued as follows: From that to this
his name has been the synonym of selfshness,
duplicity, hypocrisy, and cowardice. Today
he stands branded in the columns of the public
press and in private letters by eminent citizens
of Georgia, who have exhausted the range OF
English adjectives, from razorback to hypocrite
and from character assassin to common lisr
in their efforts to correctly characterize this
staggering sw ashbuckler with whom no man.
reputation is considered sacred. No pen can
paint the pitiful picture of this captious
harlatan, who has never in his life been con-
sistent save in the discord he has sown and
the ruin he has wrought" Yet after all this
terrible and disgusting arraignment Smith
carried more than two-thirds of the counties Of
the State while Howell secured but ten. 1t
only goes to show that personal abuse in-poli-
tics counts for nothing these days.
