How Many Cents to a sushelf

Unofficially 1t is estimated by off,
GERS of the United States mint that II
bushel of copper one-cent coins will
contain about $4,000 Officially the
director of the mint refused to discuss
the matter. A Pittsburg man has writ
ten to the mint bureau asking the
officers to give him an estimate as to
the number of copper one-cent pieces
in bushel. 1t is presumed that he
desires information in a guessing con-
test
A letter has been written to the
Pittsburger saying that the officers OF
the mint are too busy with their off,
cial duties to give accurate informa-
tion as to the number of cents in a
bushel and they are unwilling to haz-
ard a guess. But their curiosity hav-
ing been aroused few of the experts
got together and guessed, not for pub
lication, that it would take about 49,
900 pennies to fill a bushel measure.

Record Goes to New Yorker.

The meanest man has appeared in
New York. Several days ago a news
paper printed the advertisement of
woman who wanted employment by
the day as house cleaner. She lives
In Brooklyn with her sister. A finely
dressed man called at her fiat, ques-
toned her as to her capabilities, and
finally said: Come along over to New
York and my wife will decide whether
she will take you or not" On the way
over the man announced he was a ply
sician, and said: Your sister seems to
be in poor health?" "Oh, yes" replied
the woman, she has been badly off for
number of years" What she needs
more than anything else," replied the
man, is an electric belt You come
with me and l will get you one" They
visited Perry's pharmacy on Park row.
All the money that the woman had
was four dollars, which she handed to
the alleged physician with which to
buy the belt. Leaving her at the front
of the store he sauntered to the rear,
ostensibly to get the belt. The woman
waited for some time, but the man
had left by the rear entrance.

JUST FOLLOWING THE BAND
Peculiarly Of colored Man Is His In
tense Liking for Anything In Ma
ture Of a Parade.

Once upon time a Philadelphia
lawyer came south. He had pair of
big spectacles, an inquisitive mind,
and he wanted to know, says Harris
Dickson, in Success Magazine. With
his southern friend he was hurrying
to the courthouse. A negro parade
blocked the street; negroes In car
riages, on horseback, on foot; ne
groes with swords and axes; stumpy
negroes with Masonic banners, lean
negroes with Pythian devices, fat ne
groes with Odd Fellows insignia,
miscellaneous negroes with miscel-
laneous emblems.
The Philadelphian pushed through
the crowd and ran back in great ex-
element Whats It all about? What
are they doing?"
The southerner couldn't explain,
but beckoned to very intelligent
prominent politician-and asked:
TON. what's the occasion for all this
parade?"
The young negro laughed. NOW,
jedge, you ought to know dat a niger
don't need no 'casion for parade"
Tom had spoken mouthful. Pa
geantry appeals to the negro's tropical
imagination. Churches and lodges
furnish most of the social life that he
knows. He does not ask why the
brass band is playing; he keeps step
with the fellow that beats the drum
and is happy.

SLUMBERS UNTIL SHE DIES
Woman Who Went Into Trance When
Baby Fell Never Receivers
Speech.

Pittsburg, Pa.-From a speechless
trance in which she has lain for
three months and half. Mrs. Kate
Mendelsohn passed on to death at
hospital here.
Her husband on the night of Sep
tember 80 awoke to find the woman in
a comatose state. Their baby lay on
the floor uninjured, apparently having
fallen out of bed. Mr. Mendelsohn
had no knowledge of what had taken
place before he awoke, but he thinks
that his wife must have been shocked
into unconsciousness when the baby
tumbled out of bed. She must, he be-
lieves, have presumed that the child
was killed.

The Three RS In the Modern School

The Three RS In the Modern School.
Fundamentally, the trouble with our
system of public education is that
children learn little about a great
many things, without gaining much
really definite knowledge of anything
which is likely to stand them in good
stead in later life; and, what is equal
ly bad, they do not acquire methods
of accurate thinking. This criticism
applies to education in every branch
and has been true from the beginning
because our theories have been wrong
But just now it is peculiarly true that
our public school system has defects
which are so palpable, and for which
remedies are so easily found. that we
should no longer permit things to re-
main as they are.-Lippincott's Maga-
zine.
