School money Held Up.

One hundred and ninety-five' school
districts will not share November II

school money received from accumulat.

This is the announcement of w. II.
French, deputy superintendent of pub.
lie instruction. Twenty of these dis.
tricts are In Oakland county. The APP.
portionment is made on the basis OF
$11 per pupil, and the failure of school
directors to comply with the instruc.
lions OF the department means that
many thousands of dollars will be held
up.
French says that many treasurers
neglected in the face OF ample warn.
ing to file bonds. Some districts have
Incorporated funds, and others did
not answer the departments letters
asking for information about THEN
schools.
Mr.. French estimates that between
$500 and 5000 pupils are affected in
the 1875 school districts. The money
will be held by the state treasurer un.
til the next apportionment in May, and
then be placed in the fund for appOr
tionment.

Japan a Practical Nation,

Marvellous IS the fortune Of Japan.
The only nation that might stay her
continental strides toward empire is
paralyzed by revolutionary struggles
against g government whose existence
IS a monstrous anachronism. The ma
tions which must meet her on the
worldwide field OF Industrial war have
tied their own hands with vain eco
nomic theories belonging to dead
time. There is no nation so practical
as the Japanese. What is best to be
done, that thing they do. Their consti-
tuition is not invoked to inhibit the
general welfare and stay up the priv
ileges of q plutocracy. Dead govern
mental theories of a bygone age ere
dead to them and they modify their
political philosophy to suit the future.
Though they worship their ancestors,
remarks the Portland Oregonian, they
care less than any other people for
time-worn opinions. The things that
we believe theoretically they put in
practice.

The Skulker and the Hustler.

Accidents and exceptions for indiv-
idual reasons aside. the young man
whose chisf effort has been to avoid
working more than his pay called for
and who has carried this as the gov
erning principle of his life, ha1 been
a greater or less failure. When he him
self has reached middle life and has
begun to complain because other men
have got ahead of him, he looks every
where but in the right place for the
reason. The place is himself and the
reason is that he made the mistake
of never doing as well as he could, be-
cause he was afraid of cheating him
self. What he actually did was to
cheat himself in the worst way, says
the New Bedford, Mass, Standard.
There Is, as a rule, no escape from
the truth that unless a man gives the
best there is in him he will never get
the best there is for him. Careers
which look like exceptions to this rule
are due either to peculiar conditions
such as do not arise in ordinary lives
or else the appearance Is deceptive.

German Trade in Brazil.

Germans are now doing much of the
business in Brazil that was formerly
carried on by British manufacturers.
This is due, primarily. to the fact that
the German salesman is particularly
we'll equipped in business training,
languages, and adaptability, to secure
the confidence OF the Brazilians, and
secondly, to the fact that German
houses will modify their goods to
rseet the special Brazilian require
.nents. At the same time German
goods are not well thought of in Brazil
and where the proper effort is made
American goods will always sell in
preference to German goods even at
a considerably higher price. For ex-
ample, nine-tenths of all the electri-
cal machinery in Brazil is American.
