cAN Go IN. ANp BAoK oUr.

The President of the United States can go in with a rush, and he can also back out promptly and gracefully when he is convinced that he ought to. In his message to the Senate yesterday concerning the dismissal of the negro troops he said: I am now satisfied that the effect of my order dismissing these men without honor was not to bar them from all civil employment under the government, and therefore that part of the order which consisted of a declaration to this effect was lacking in validity, and I have directed that such portion be revoked. AS to the rest of the order dismissing the indi- viduals in question without honor and declaring the effect of such discharge under the law and regulations to be a bari to their future re-enlistment, either in the army or the navy, there is nc doubt of my constitutional and legal power. The order was within my dis cretion, under the constitution and
 laws, and cannot be reviewed or re-
 versed, save by another executive or
 dar.
 This seems to leave the president ir
 sound legal position. and he seems tc
 think he can handle the rest of it.

ONE DEGREE AsSAIIFD.

They don't seem to be afraid of change in France nowadays. M Bri- and, the French minister of education, is proposing the abolition of the bach elor's degree This degree is the degree conferred on a boy on his admission to French university. It nresupposes several years preparation aft a, public school State or private school, during which the youth has been crammed with correct university formulas for production at the exam nations. The ideal behind it is that of Napoleonic centralization. The result aimed at is that in every secondary school and State academy in France French boys should be learning the same facts at the same hour. The main result achieved is the cultivation of mechanical memory, the absorption of ready-made facts, formulas, yer diets and points of view regarded as scientifically essential and useful for a future French citizen. But the habit of mind thus secured is inimical to the free play of thought. A Paris letter in a London journal says: "A large class of French youth are like young colts
 trained for weeks and months in the
 same riding school to take a 0articu
 lar kind of fence known as the bacca
 laureat. If the fence is removed ant
 the ideal of fence-taking be abolished

BATHFR T1rPORT4 NIT.

People who can't punctuate, and don't want to learn how to, are apt to have trifing notions about the importance of punctuation. But the famous semi colon liauor law in Massachusetts was a striking illustration of what punctu- alton is, and now comes another illus tration. The North German Insurance Company, of Hamburg, which has been ordered by the German court to pay the claims against it, had risks to the amount of $4,5Oo,OOO in the big fire in San Francisco last April The com many denied all liability on the ground of an earthquake clause in its policies, and has paid no claims It is under stood by insurance men in San Fran cisco that the suit in the German courts was to test the validity of this partic- ular clause, and that the decision is based on the punctuation of the clause, It is understood that the decision hinged upon the position of comma or semicolon .n the clause and the in- terpretation of it in view of the punctu- ation or error in punctuation.
 So it can be seen that our public schools and the higher institutions of learning where punctuation is so care
 fully and correctly taught are fully justified in paying as much attention
 as they do to this important matter.

A NEq1EcrLD OPPORTUNITY,

Why hasn't the skunk industry been bonded and stocked as 1t ought to have been? Why have our frenzied or high financiers neglected such an opportunity? There's millions in it. Some people in Maine are get ting little out of it, but their ideas are small. What can be done is, how ever, indicated by what they are doing. Nearly 25,OOO gallons of skunk oil are produced in Maine every year, and there is wide demand for it owing to the curative properties it is Said to have for rheumatism and other ail- ments. The increasing popularity of the oil has caused she price to advance within a year $1 gallon, the whole sale price now being $5 a gallon. An average skunk produces one quart oi oil. The fur of this profitable little an imal is also valuable, the prices fol skins varying with the fashion, The dark skins are the more valuable pure black being worth from $1 to $2 according to quality. Striped skunt skins bring from 25 to 40 cents, whil' those with part stripe bring from 5 to 75 cents.

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, has demonstrated how different modes of treatment will have different effects in apples, and he holds that the same is true of men. By way of illustra- tidn he tells of a good-natured fellow who had a shrewish wife. One morn ing after abusing him roundly she drove him to work without his break fast. While on his way down town in a street car he heard a sour-looking woman dispute with the conductor re- garding her fare. At length she said; "Is there gentleman in this car who will stand by and see lady insulted?' The hungry man whose nature had been spoiled rose eargerly. "Yes, mad anl," he said, 'I will"

The possibility of life without mind while not subject to positive proof, is a theory that has gained considerable strength recently through it's advocacy by Dr. L. Laloy, librarian of the Acad- emy of Sciences, Paris. He believes that many of the, smaller living organ isms, as insects, are mere. moving ma chimes, having no more intelligence than may bF ascribed to plants. He refers to the well-known fact that in- sects are attracted by light, often to their own destruction, and ascribes il to the same cause that inclines the plant to grow toward the light.
