KEEPING THE ROOSTER QUIE-
Chandelier viii Not Grow Unless
He Can Raise Head High
In Air.

A grave question has been raised
in Atlantic. 1t concerns a rooster
owned by one William McInnes, and
the right of that rooster to crow un-
restrained also, the right of Mr.. Nc
Innes to own and operate such a
Growing apparatus to the annoyance
of his neighbors.
Mayor Shea of Quincy has been
%petitioned to abate the rooster. Now,
we do not know the law on the case.
We are not certain that the consti-
tuition of the United States and the
decisions of the Supreme court Of
either the state or nation provide
adequate redress. We do know, how
ever, that this same momentous ques-
ton recently came to an issue in
Chicago, under similar circum-
stances, and that it was disposed of
amlcably through a device proposed
by a Chicago man skilled in the
anatomy and psychology Of ROSTERS.
A rooster cannot or will not crow
without raising his head high in the
air. If you prevent him from stretch
ing his neck, you suppress his crow.
All you have to do, therefore, to
keep him quiet, is to make his coop
low enough so that, whenever he
feels a crow swelling his bosom and
clamoring for %utterance, he bumps
his head. After a few bumps, he
may even give up in despair, and
lose all desire to crow, even if lib
erated.-Boston Traveller.

F|RENCHMANS TASTE IN DRESS
His Supposed limitations Of the Eng
llsh Styles Are Fearful and
Wonderful to Behold.

The rage for everything English
still seems to continue in Paris,
though the Frenchman who sets out
to dress himself a PAnglais as a rule
makes but a poor show for his
trouble.
His "fancy vests" are usually fear
full as well as wonderful, his tie de-
cidedly more original than beautiful
and adorned with something quite
barbaric in the shape Of a pin, his
canary colored gloves and absurd
cane such as no Englishman would
dream Of sporting in his widest
moments.
The Frenchman has, I fear, in
nately bad taste where dress is con-
cerned, just as the French woman
beats her English and even Ameri-
can sisters all along the line when
the question of taste in dress comes
in.
The P~arisienne follows the fashion
of being English in such matters as
de Sports" and lie five o'clock"
but she takes good care to set her
own fashions in dress and to keep
to them. Monsieur, on the other
hand, would give anything to be
dressed a PAnglais and to be mis-
taken for an Englishman, but knows
not how to manage 1.-THE Gentle

soUlD's DEFENslV ARM.

Ancient ink was made by a squeez-
ing out Of dead squids after the body
was perfectly relaxed. Painters got
their sepia from this same 8quid's
bottle. This likewise is the true
source of the genuine and original
India ink, for which there has never
been any satisfactory substitute
found. The ink bag is big as a mans
thumb, and can squirt six feet, dark
ening more than a hogshead of
water, so the squid can make unseen
a dart and a dash and getaway when
squid-eating sea fish come around

TEST ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE.

Some novel effects of electrical dis
charge have been recorded by De
Muynck, a Belgian physician. A
platinum wire was stretched over
supports about twenty-five inches
apart, and the end was brought near
the spark ball of a battery of four
Jars, charged from a Holtz induction
machine. The wire was heated, 9TH
er electric currents being suitable
for this. When quite hot, increasing
the spark gap until no spark crossed
it caused the wire to give out a mu-
steal note and at the same time to
sway in oscillations of half an inch
or more. The cold wire did not oscil-
late. The sound varied with the tenn
perature, and with other conditions
not well understood.

of life, being forty-four years old. He Is
an Englishman Of high social position
by birth. a man Of education who has
devoted his entire life to literature. In
this country he Is best known for his
play, Strife" which, dealing with the
questions Of capital and labor. was pro-
duced a year or so ago at the New The
ater, and made strong impression on
all who saw 1t. Its theme was typical
mainly TO pointing out the defects and
weaknesses and evils Of social institu-
tions. Probably the heaviest blow he
ever struck in this direction was through
Justice drama which so forcibly
presented the evils Of modern punishment
OF criminals as almost instantly to bring
about reforms in the English prison sys-
tenn. But in "A Motley and in The
Patrician" Mr.. Galsworthy's purpose"
Is so unobtrusive that 1t need not offend
even those who dislike fiction that has q
purpose beyond the telling Of a story.

colors and pretty girls and beaming

petitive drill.
Visions of Victory.
From those early October days. when
the little freshman recruit stops kicking
dust in the school yard as a member Of
an awkward squad and is assigned to a
company, his drill days are filled with
visions. conjured up by his awe-inspiring
captain and under officers. of marching
proudly back to school some far-off day
next spring wearing the red ribbon Of
conquest on the field Of glory at the
competitive drill. 1t is picture that the
captain never lets fade. When the little
recruit climbs into those natty blue
trousers-usually the first long ones he
has ever worn-learns to keep that twen-
ty-seven-inch stride without effort and
to handle his Springfield rifle as though
he were not afraid Of its biting him, the
long grind of acquiring perfection in the
art of the manual Of arms and COM
pany drill is saved from becoming merely
a dreary routine by the constant effort
Of the captain and other officers to keep
the rear-rank freshmen's ambitions CEN
tered upon winning this years drill.
With the second-year men in the ranks
this is not difficult. They have tasted
the indescribable pleasures Of those days
just before the drill, when every man
thinks his company is going to win and
basks in the inspiring smiles Of that

nampetitive drill day is but few short
weeks on.
The mere thought Is enough to make
the blue-clad back of the drowsy high
school cadet straighten up with thrill
of pleasurable excitement as he sits in
the study hall over his books, listening
to the soft spring wind at play with the
window shade
This is an awful time Of year for study
ing Who wants to fool around with a
lot Of sines, cosines, and secants. or go
digging for a lot Of Greek roots when
lust outside the window there's a tree
poking it's fresh, green finger tips at you
and just teasing you to come out and
expand In the sunshine with the rest Of
natures young things?
In fact, IL II wasn't for that little thrill
accompanying each thought of the swift
approach of the competitive drill thered
be an epidemic Of hockey playing that
would make the gaps in the ranks Of the
cadet corps on drill days look like the
last muster of the Old Guard just before
their final charge at Waterloo.
To be sure, there are the track and
baseball teams to keep up the enthusiasm
of the school athletes and their follow
ers But there is only one occasion that
brings out the unrestrained vociferous-
ness of all five of Washingtons high
schools in one mad riot of noise and

women, is more desirable among the
occupations open to women, than 1t
is to young men. Hence, the supply
Of women Is larger.
The proposed policy seems to me
nothing short Of disastrous, not only
for New York schools, but, by force
Of New York example, for all the
schools Of the country.
Many opinions have been expressed
from time to time as to the advisability
Of employing women teachers. 1t is
agreed among instructors that womer
are better as teachers in the lower
grades, especially in the kindergartens
AS the education Of the child progresses
the opinion prevails that women teachers
are preferable until the grades in the
high schools are reached, when, 1t is
pointed out, men should have charge OF
the child's education.
What Supt. Stuart Says.
Supt. A. T. Stuart of the Washington
schools, believes men teachers are bet
ter particularly in boys high schools
than women. He said yesterday that in
the high schools of Washington women
teachers are in the majority.
Il cannot see why DR.. Eliot should
draw the line at men teachers taking
over the instruction Of children when
they are twelve years." he said, ':al-
though I believe that men teachers are
more useful to instruct children when
they have arrived we'll In their teens
Another matter in which I disagree
with DIR. Eliot Is that men teachers
should be paid a larger salary than the
