In one of our New England cities
the roll of the newly elected com
mon council was called. The judge
who was to administer the oath, re
lates the Christian Register, whis
pered, ‘lt sounds like the docket in a
police court.”
The eemi-clerical dress is rapidly
disappearing, announces the Chris

create two classes of ministers—the
one dressed like other gentlemen for
public and social occaslong, the other
wearing the full clerical garb.

New York meat packers are reports
ed as saying that the American house
wife has found a substitute for meat
and that twenty per cent. less meat
is sold now than a year ago. The
packers profess their inability to ex
plain the phenomenon, Perhaps,
suggests the San Francigco Chronicle,
the fact that packers charge twenty
per cent. higher prices may have
something to do with it,
Apparently there is nothing to the
theory that women will wear anything
that fashion dictates, inasmuch as
New York importers who made heavy
purchases of sheath gowns abroad
say they cannot make the style pop
umlar in this country, declares the
Denver Republican. Lloyds, that en
ergetic firm that insures everything
insurable, has even gone so far as to
refuse to insure one of these ship
nayed importer is facing total loss,

¢ TPthnologists have lately advanced
the theory that the horse had as much
to do with the extermination of the
buffalo on the Western plains as had
the rifle, and perhaps more so. HEvi
dence is said to be abundant, not only
that the buffalo was little hunted be
fore the Indians obtained horses from
the Spaniards, but that the Indians
did not even inhabit the great plains
with which in modern times they
have become so closely associated
that they are even known as “plains
Indians.” The plains had nich grasses,
but not the fish or small game, or the
agricultural opportux<lee which the
Indian required; and with his crude
weapons he could not capture the buf
falo on foot. The advent of the horse
changed all this. The ease with
which mounted men could overtake
and kill animals which existed in
great numbers and furnished both
food and shelter was the cause of the
migration of whole tribes. This sug
gests, too, a reason why the wealth of
the plains Indians has always been
reckoned in horses.

It is a waste to have higher and ex
pensive schooling used by only one
child in nine, It is a waste to have
86,124 children begin a course of
eight years and have half of them
take only four years of it, insists the
Philadelphia Press. It is a waste to
have children repeating the same year
because they fail, so that they go to
school six or eight years and only
cover three to five years of studies.
More high schools would help. It is
a cruel wrong to keep the high
schools in the centre of the city and
debar the poor boy and girl whose
family cannot pay car fare. More
care and more pains should be taken
with the backward child. Closer at
tention to individual cases would save
many children from failing and leav
ing school rather than repeat a year.
p&nce. as in this class that began eight
years ago, only one in nine reach the
high and manual training schools,
one in five the seventh grade, one in
three the sixth grade, and one in two
the fifth grade, the lower grades
should look more to those whose edu
cation is secured to them.

g‘ereuce; Poa‘nbly”s@, &f"wm ;ol the
voters who cast their ballots in the
regular primary, in which Mr, Brown
was nominated, exercised their rights.
The candidacy of Mr. Carter failed
to make much impression upon the
size of the vote, or to create much
interest in the state at large. The
primary result was viewed every
where as settling the question of who
would be Georgia’s next governor, and
little interest was shown in the bal
loting. The apathy was not confined
to any one sectiom of the state, but
was general,

over one-half of that cast in the pri

Brown, the democratic nominee, in his

in any county throughout the state.
Fulton coanty gave Mr. Brown a ma
jority of 4,600 votes.
The following rewards have been
offered by Governor Smith: For the
arrest of Zan Hill, charged with the
killing of Ed.Blackshear in Talbot

Lucas, who is charged with Kkilling
J. . Farrell in Fulton county on Sep
