In Vew York and Brooklrn that an. ply of public school buildings 11 much low than the demand. A bill has been introduced In the legislature of Wisconsin, which if ear. ried, ill give a pension to teachers m the public schools, This ia a move in i!w right direction. A bill has been introduced In the legis ature of Xew Jersey, asking the State to aid all private school that com ply with certain conditions. A woman was recently elected State Superintendent of Public instruction in Xorth Dakota. If reports are true, she is administering the affairs pretain ing to the office in a manner acceptable to all. St. Louis recently held the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of its first kindergarten. The event was celebrated in a befitting manner, in connection with the formal opening of the public library building. The serai-annual apportionment of the school fund to the various coun ties of the State was completed last week by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The total amount of money so apportioned was $224,337.60. Tfie pupils entitled to draw from this fund number about 233,685. A society was recently fouuded in Germany for promoting education upon tbe principles advocated by Herbart. The first general meeting was attended by more than two thousand masters. Concerning the training of teachers it was pointed out that Herbart and his followers treated education from the theontical stand point, as a science. From its practical side, as an art. This it was thought defined in itself the necessary qualifications of the teachers, and hence what was essential in his train ing. rJ he territory of Arizona seems to be ibreast of the age. At least, there is to excuse for ignorance, in that portion of this great Republic. Every child in the territory can receive a free education, and if too poor to' purchase ten books the school district must furnish them free of cost. In the school sectarian instruction is abso lutely forbidden. The teachers are paid good wages and from present indications there seems to be no reason why Arizona's educational advantages should not be the pride of the west. The receipts of the Harvard Athletic association for last year were 958,441. President King announced at the Harvard dinner recently that 854,000 had been raised to aid in the building of a new club house. The Troy Female Seminary is to have a new dormitory which will accommodate K0 boarders. The money to be used for that purpose was the gift of lttissel Sage. Yorily the mauonaries are not vmnout tneir virtues. The chair of oratorv in Cornell university has been tendered to I'rof. L). C. Lee, who was a graduate from Colgate college in 1801. He is to re eeive the assistant prolessorship. The Medical school at Johns Hopkins will be onened next October, although the special building will not be com pleted at that time.

Young Farmer Medders (at supper) Ouch; Wonark! Kah! Jeeminy jeeswax! What in heaven's name is the matter with this cake, Glonoaa? Bride (a city girl) Why, darling, there can surely be nothing the matter with it. I followed the recipe exactly. "Tastes as if it was made of clam shells. Kah!" 'Oh, dearest! May be it was the fault of the eggs. I always thought eggs were soft and yellow inside; but these were white and brittle all the way through, and I had to powder them with flat irons, and" "Whore did you find them?" "In the hen house darling. There was only one egg in each nest, and" "Glorlosa, yon have used my new china nest eggs!" Puck. A grievance to a man is what a sore heel Is to a boy. There is nothing the devil works harder than to keep a bad man from thinking about his good mother. When a member of a corporation wanted his picture in an heroic attitude, the artist painted him in the act of refusing a drink. One day of sickness will do moro to convince a young man that his mother is his best friend than seventeen volumes of proverbs. Before you kill yourself trying to nppn mn late wealth, co and ask a millionaire how much money it takes to make a man rich. ,- "As long as she was merely my wife's mother," said a young husband, "1 had bar pretty well under control. But now that the is my wife's mother and tbe baby's grandmother also, she is imply one too many for me." Policeman Well, my little dear, if you can't tell me your mother's name, or where she lives, how are you to find ber? Little Girl, lost while out shopping Jes' put me in aatore window an' roamma'll be sure to aw delicacy ' finest cake, biscuit, rolls, etc., which expert pastry cooks declare is unobtainable by the use of any other leavening agent Get An Envelope Quick. "My wifo and I," says a traveling man, ' were once in a hotel where we couldn't get any boiling water. After we had discussed tbe situation my wife asked me if I had an envelope iti my satchel. I got one out, when Bhe told me to fill it with water and hold it over Ihegasjet. I hesitated, but finally did it, and expecting to see the envolope blaze up every moment. But it didn't blaze. Tbe envelope took on a little soot, but that was all. The water boiled in time, and the envelope was as good as ever when the experiment was at an end. I don't know the chemistry ot the process, but try it yourself and see if it will not work. If you have no gas light a lamp it will do just as well." Foreign Travel Improves. Successful farmer "Son George got some sense durin' that foreign tour anyhow." Wife "I hain't seen it." "I have. You know he spent a good while in Lunnon, as he calls it." . "Yes, an' I'd like to know what it did." "Use y'r eyes, Miranda. He learned to turn up his pants when it rains". Mere Matter of Money. Mrs. Suburb (who loves peace and quiet) "What!

Twelve average tea plants produce one pound of tea. Iron is to be made at, Chattanooga by an electrical process. Wherever there is sin it is sure to be followed by sorrow. Every good man on earth is a pillar to hold heaven up. The best answer you can make to self-conceit is to keep still. Modest appearance, good humor and prudence make a gentleman. No man is good who behaves him self simply because he has to. There are too many men who love to preach but hate to practice. Many there be who buy nothing with their money only repentance. A young athlete in .New York city breaks horse-shoes with hishands. Yellow Canalian mush is a gastro nomic fad since the eminent doctors recommend it. Many are indifferent to the rumor that there Is likely to be a great scar sity of lobsters. There are people who think their neighbors' houses need painting because they neglect to wash their own win dows. North Carolina lays claim to the pos session of a colored man 105 years old, who one day last summer walked a distance of twenty-five miles. Putting your enemy in the wrong in the sight of men is the worst kind of ilefeat, against which neither individ ual nor notion can long presist. The average French family embraces three members and the average Irish family five. In England the average uumber of members of a family is four. It is hard for a man to bear his own goodluck.it is harder still for his Iriends to bear it for him, and but a lew of them ordinarily can stand that trial. Lunacy appears to have increased in Scotland to a startling extent. In 1858 there were 5,825 lunacies on the register of lunacy commissioners, but now there are 12,595. Watts I don't like this reincarna tion idea a bit Potts-No? Watts No. Just fancy yourself occupying the body of a mule and hauling stones for your own monument. A Sunday school teacher was trying to impress upon bis pupils the care of the Deity for all living things, great or small, and getting to the peroration of his address he said: "The Lord who made the mountain made the little blades of grass. The Lord who made the ocean made the pebbles on the shore. The Lord who made me made a daisy." And then he wondered why the class burst into a laugher, Pure grape cream of tartar forms the acid principle of the Royal exclusively.

In 1172 the temperature was so high that leaves came out on the trees in January, and birds hatched their broods in February. In 1289 the win er was also very mild, and maidens of Cologne wore wreaths of violets and cornflowers at Christmas and Twelfth Dav. In 1421 the trees flowered in the month of March, and the vines in the month of April. Cherries ripened in the same month, and grapes appeared in May. In lo"2 the trees were covered with leaves in January, and birds batched their young in February, as in 1182; and in la85 the same thing was repeated, and is added that the corn was in the ear at Ea?ter. There was in France neither snow nor frost, throughout the winters of 1538, 1607, 1609, UH7 and 1059; finally, in 1W2, even in the north of Germany, the streets were not light ed, and trees (lowered in February. Coming to later dates, the winter oi 1846-7, when it thundered at Paris on the 28th of January, and that of 1869, the year of the great inundation of the Seine, were very mild. They Are Iucky. It is a lucky thing for the natives of Southern Patagonia that the naviga tion of the Strait of Magellan is dan gerous. Ye3sels often anchor in the strait for the iiight on this account, and this gives the crooked-legged natives a chance to come out on their canoes and trade with the ship's com pany. The chief articles offered by the natives are furs of various kinds, es pecially of the sea otter. These they sell for a trille, or more often barter for a few things they need. The best otter skins are worth as much as $G0C to 87000 when brought to civilized mar- Keis, our, I'aiagonians oner only poor skins. A Philadelphia architect contem plates the erection of a building which will be a complete village in itself.
