SHE WAS GciNG BATHING.

She was very pretty girl clad in a ;liaphanous summer gown. She was going to the beach and she didn't care who knew it, for she car ried her bathing suit in most primitive fashion. It was simply incosed in a bath towel, and carried by narrow strap. Shoes, stockings, powder, comb, brush, hairpins and other feminine necessities were not in evidence. Perhaps she dispensed with them. Anyway, she reused the culios;t- of a ear full of people.

Her Brioht Idea.

The daughter of a Providence clergyman was reading in her eccles iastical paper an account of a religi ous ceremony in a western diocese: "The solemn eucharist was sung by Bishop Weller, with Bishop Grafton pontificating from the throne" What does pontificating mean?" she asked her father. Have you studied Latin and don't know the meaning of very simple word?" was the reply. "On yes, see, 1t means he bridged it."- Boston Transcript

PIRACY AN ANCIENT CALLING
'n Vogue Since the First Days Men Learned to Sail the Seas
 in Ships.

Only the other day there came the story of an alleged pirate ship cap tured in the Gulf of Mexico and the in- cident suggests that at one time or another nearly every body of salt wa ter on the globe has suffered from the ancient calling Even the Thames river was once a favorite haunt of pirates In the fourteenth century the danger was so great that, according to a historian. John Philipot offered to build at his own cost stone tower 50 kings feet in height, near Ratcliff, provided the corporation of London would levy sixpence in the pound on the rental of the city and build cor responding tower on the opposite side of the river, so that an iron chain might be stretched from one tower to the other to protect the shipping Of the river from night attack
 The watch was kept in the following order: "On Tuesday, the drapers and the tailors; or Wednesday, the mer- cers and the apothecaries; on Thurs day, the fishmongers and the butch
 
 vintners; in Saturday, the goldsmiths and the saddlers; on Sunday, the iron mongers, the armorers, and the cut. lers; on Monday the tawers, the spur riers, the bowyers and the girdlers."
 Even in 1916 pirate vessels were captured off the Kentish coast, be. tween Broadstairs and Margate.
 "The danger was so imminent that the common council agreed to the pro- posal, but, as the alarm died away, this scheme of defence was laid aside" In 1870 report was circulated that certain galleys, with a multitude of armed men therein, were lying off the foreland of Thanet," and an order was at once issued that "every night watch shall be k, pt between the tower of London and Billingsgate with 40|
 archers."

Impressions of New York.

What impressed me most when 1 visited New York;" says Harry Fur miss, the well-known English cartoon ist, in his "Reminiscences" in the Strand, was the number of chiropo- dists advertisements. They con- fronted me everywhere. Huge gilded models of feet outside the chiropo- dists establishments, some painted realistically and many adorned with bunions, seemed everywhere before me as passed through the streets. If I looked up saw them suspended from the firstfi floor window, or painted on canvas on the front of house. If I avoided the shops was bound to knock up against some gentleman in the gutter encased in long white waterproof, on which were portrayed the inevitable foot and name and ad- dress of the chiropodist"

The Written Examination.

Reform in educational methods has
always been plant Of slow growth.
Many of the iniquities of the past
have, it is true, been done away with;
but a number of them still remain.
There has been tendency in recent
years to load our public schools with
altogether too many side issues. In
fact every new fad that puts in an
appearance seems to look upon them
as it's legitimate prey. 1t is not sur
prising therefore that there has come
a reaction among intelligent and pro-
gressive educational leaders in re-
Spouse to a growing public demand
for more attention to funda-
mentals and less to what may
be called the 'frills" of school
work. One of the barbarities of our
educational system which is still
with us is the so-called written ex-
animation At this present moment
thousands of school children worn
and wearied with a years work, are
putting in long hours. which they need
for physical rest and recreation
"cramming" for written examinations.
They are undergoing this nerve
racking, brain tagging experience at
the very time when they are physi-
cally and mentally the least fitted for
it, 1t Is squirt down the finish at the
end Of an educational marathon, an
unwise and Improbable strain upon
the powers of endurance. 1t is
strange that better knowledge Of the
laws of physical and mental well-be-
ing has not put the written examina-
ton out of commission years ago. 1t
is, at best, relic of the dark ages.
We believe that examinations taken
at such time of physical and mental
WEAKNESS and exhaustion are never
a fcir test of a pupils standing. If
his daily work has not established
that, then his teacher is incompetent.
We are glad to note that in a num-
Der of American cities the written
examination" has been done away
with, and we hope to see the day
when it will no longer have any place
in the public schools OF this country.

The Deportation Of Alien Criminals

The superintendent of prisons in New
York has made the discovery that there
are at the present time, no less than
3l9 alien convicts' doing time" in the
various penal institutions of the State.
He believes that inasmuch as these
men have no claim to American citi-
zenship the best possible disposition
that could be made of them would
be to deport them to the various
countries from which they came and
take measures to prevent them from
ever again setting foot upon American
soil.
1t has long been charged that many
European countries systematically
encourage and aid their criminals to
come to this country, where they not
only constitute a menace to society in
general, but are also a burden and a
reproach to honest. Woodworking i'm
migrants of the same nativity. It is
very evident that altogether too many

Philippine Cigars and Tobacco.

BY the terms of the Senate tariff
bill 70,O0O,000 cigars and 100000
pounds of filler tobacco may be
brought from the Philippines into the
United States free of duty. Any
further importation of either cigars
or tobacco from those islands must be
subject to the ordinary duties upon
similar imports from other countries
Naturally enough, 7O000,000 cigars
seem to be a very generous concession
on the part of this country and to
some extent it is, although there is a
quite general feeling outside of the
tobacco raising states-that this door
might have been opened even wider
without serious results.
Some newspapers have undertaken
to compare the number of cigars
which the Senate tariff bill permits to
be imported free from the Philippines
with the total number annually con-
sumed in the United States But, in
as much as very large number of
them are of home manufacture and
others have to pay the duty which
would be charged upon the Philippine
product in excess of 7O,0O0,OOO it does
not seem to us that this is hardly fair
There is a vast difference in the
capacity for production in the Philip
pines and the capacity for production
in the United States. nor does there
seem to be any reason why long
established industries should be put
into entirely free competition with d
cheap class of Oriental labor, after
having been established i'm this
large investment of capital and fur
nishing profitable employment t,
many thousands of our citizens
There were made in this country
last year 7,490,OO0,0OO cigars of tn
larger size and 1,152,OOO,OOO cigars OF
the smaller size. While we do not be-
lieve that the Philippines should have
an unlimited free entry for thci'
cigars and tobacco in this country, w.
are frank to say that we believe tn,
limit which has been placed by the
Senate tariff bill in view of the yer,
large American consumption, is al
together too small and that it might
well be left where the House OF
Representatives left it, namely al
150,O00.000 cigars and 100000 tons
OF filler tobacco per year, and it seems
to us, in view of the general public
expression upon the matter that thi.
provision of the Payne bill is likely
to be restored in conference.
