edges receipt of the 59th Mis-

from Howard A. Glass, State
Superintendent. All the avaia-
BILE statistics are systematically
compiled and made easily access

moreover makes a number of
valuable suggestionS.
The report covers the year
ending June 30, 1908, and shows
marked improvement a 10 g
every line over the previous
year. Especially is this true of
the rural schools. The cause of
this betterment in the country

Mayor Reyburn of Philadelphia told
at 2 dinner a horse story.
"A farmer visited a phrenologist,' "
he said. He had heard that the phre-
nologtst thought of buying a horse. He
had his head examined and his bumps
revealed surprising things.
Your tastes are the simple, home.
ly and pure tastes of a farmer said
the phrenologist, and a farmer | take
you to be. Am | not right? Aha, |
thought so. You are unready and fall
tering in speech; you find it difficult
TO express the simplest ideas. You
are sadly deficient in judgment and
have no knowledge of human nature.
Your innocent and trustful disposition
renders you an easy dupe to design.
Ing men. and your own perfect hon
esty prevents you from either suspect
ing or defrauding any one
The %phrenologist the following
week bought a horse from the farmer,
The horse was knock-kneed, 1t was 25
years old, 1t had a bad temper, and 1t
baked. Though the farmer had only
paid SIS for the animal, he secured
without difficulty $3.50 from the phre-
nologist for II.

An Oriental Tragedy.

The whole world was puzzled
when the Empress and Emperor
of China died so near the same
time. The Revue of Paris,
France, has discovered the facts
in the case, which were recently
copied in the Christian. Heralu:
1t appears that when the
Empress Dowager realized that
her end was near she conyoked
the Grand Council, and it was
decided that, as the Emperor
had no male child, the infant son
of his younger brother, Chun,
should be named successor,
with his father as regent.

the offers of the foreign lega-

The next morning Prince
Using, with two eunchs, went to
the EmperOr's palace and told
him that the Empress Dowager
was about to die, and that the
good of the country required
his preceding her to the shades.
He emphasized his opinion in a
dramatic way by placing on a
table a box of opium pills, a
piece of gold leaf and red silk
braided cord, saying that he
would return in three hours,
and that, if the Emperor had
not put an end to his life with
the opium or the gold leaf, his
two assistants would be under

silk cord around his neck and
strangling him. To have remol

progress of the game must have been
of sufficiently stirring a character to

excitement.
