damage wrought by these people Is ir-
reparable. Alvertuo Martin, a resident OF
Vernon street. is one Of the latest to COM
plain and he is of the opinion that II The
clergy of Warren would devote a sermon
or two on the sin OF stealing It would
have far reaching effect and might re-
lieve the owners OF fruit to a considera-
BILE extent. Mr.. Martin said he saw a
party OF boys and girls enter the fields

berries while the owner. Mr.. Manchester,

An Cnexpected Reuuest.

The German empress recently had q
somewhat disconcerting experience
While staying at one of the imperial
hunting castles ii Alsace she paid a
visit to village school q few miles from
Strassburg. Before leaving she gave
the pupils the customary permission to
ask any request they pleased, with the
promise that she would grant it If in
her power to do so. Fully expecting
the favor would take the form Of a
whole holiday or supply Of cakes,
she was not a little embarrassed when
one of the elder girls stood up and in
somewhat trembling voice asked
that the French language might be
taught in that school. Her majesty
looked thoughtful, but. realizing the
necessity of keeping her word, she
gave the required permission, to the
great delight of the pupils.

Modern Inventions.

Modern Inventions.
You have in America population OF
S1.OOO,OOO, more or less. According 10
your claims, nine-tenths of these would
be above the average. What are the
facts?
Out of this enormous body you have
but 1000 or 1900 men and women
who have achieved enough intellectual
prominence to lift them above the aver
age of all these, but twelfth or four
teenth are women, so out Of S1,OOO,OOO
of souls you have but 1,40O women
who have shown brains sufficient to
place them on plane above the COM
mon herd who live or die without be-
ing heard Of OF this small group of
pseudo intelligent people about a
fourth live In New York, and New Eng
land produces the most.
In China we have 60O,OOO,0O0 souls
according to some estimates, and AGO.
100000 according to others, and the
percentage of ultra intelligent men is
fifty times as large as in America. Our
principle is education. True, it Is not
like your own, and some Of your Hit
crate politicians appear very strangely
educated to me- as in our country we
have had what is virtually civil service
for ages and every officehOlder keeps
his position by virtue Of his having
passed a very severe classical eXamina-

astronomer of distinguished parts, and
we have had many Of your arts and
sciences for ages.
