The usual routine business, was transacted. None of tho cases were of public importance, hoiic.o we fail to publish the proceedings. Some of our citizens—and wo have talked to many on tho subject-say that Governor Atkinson has taken tho right stand on tho convict u-’ss, white , others , say that , ho a: tod too hastily.

The Albany Herald says that while passing through the woods near Bacon’s Ferry on Friday afternoon, Mr. R. J. Bacon, Jr., discovered, about a hundred yards from tho river bank a human skeleton ovedently that of a man. No ono is missing from that locality, and tho presump t on is that the skeleton ts that of some man drowned during a period of high waters. There wore no clothes identification. or anything to furnish a clue for Did you over see two dogs got fo fighting ovor a bono, and did you over seo a third dog step quietly up and walk off with it?

Moral: while the honorable town council of our sister town is squat ling ovor a place to put their handsome academy, you just pack a trunk for your little follows and send them ovor to M organ and we’ll care for them, yes we will! This is beyond doubt tho farmer's year. With a wheat crop worth not less than $520,000,000, a corn crop $720,000,000, cotton that will soli for $320,000,000,oats worth $200,000,000. rye and barley adding $7,000,000 to these figures, making a grand total of two billion dollars, with hav, eggs, fruits, vegetables and dairy and meat products yet to be heard from, there will be small ohanee for raising a calamity sections, cry this year in Philadelphia tho agricul¬ tural says tho Times. In ordering the midemoanor con¬ victs hack to their counties Governor Atkinson acted rather hastily. IL should have waited until tho Legis¬ lature met and disposed of tho lease system. Now, what will the counties do with their convicts, if they are turned back on their hands? The Monitor would make the sugestiou that each county furuish the jails with nice funrnit.ure, carpets, etc., and give the boys a good time, unless they can be worked upon the public roads.

While railroad boildiag in the Onitod Stirf-cs has been stagnant in the past few years this industry in M< xico bos steadily grown und prosper- ed- This year there will be added be- twcon 4,000 and 5,000 miles of new railroads to those already in operation ‘fhi re. Several of the new lines are long and important. One, soon to 1st jileted, will connect Vera Crux, on the gulf of Mexico, with the Pacific port of Acapulco, thus running across Mexico. Another lino will cross Mexico from eost to west, K begins at El Paso del Nortc, on the Rio Grande, in the state of Chihuahua, and crosses to Topolo- bnrnpo, on tin; gulf of California, where the unfortunate attempt was made by ; Borne enthusiastic Americans to found a ■ model co-operative colony. This road passes through wbafcwlll in time be the richest part of Mexico. Another road will bring the Vera Cruz coffee fields ,!lto couneafion with shipping famli- tdlh ' These are only a few of the roads that arc now under construction in our sistor republic. Mexico will be spider webbed with road* crossing her rich tor- ritory in all directions. The money to build them has been furnished by American and Europeau capitalista Value of Vital Statistics. Tho keeping of general statistics in regard to life and health 1ms been tbo best sanitary measure over adopted. If an unusual number of deaths occurred in any given locality, investigation has at c.nco thus boon directed to the cause, It bus bowi shown that mortality is tho highest in overcrowded slum districts uf the cities. Immediately thereupon measures have boon taken to pull down tho overcrowded, unsanitary buildings, to scatter the population and to make tliem observe more cleanly habits. If an epidemic or contagious disease pre¬ vailed, the friendly statistics showed that, too, and immediately lioalth aa- | tharitios studied to provide reniortte. and tako precautions against tbo spread 1 , cf the sickness. Nearly f.O years ago Mr. William Fnrr, who became associated with tho I . English health registry office, rocom- mended that a strict record bo kept of every ease of ilinoss from any cause whntever in each small district, so that every time anybody was sick in tbo whole United Kingdom it might be noted down. This plan ought to bc adopted everywhere. Tho fact that a public record would be kept of him and his cuso every time a person bad an ill¬ ness of any sort would go far toward frightening peoplo into keeping per¬ ! fectly well.

It seems now as if it might bo utilized exten¬ sively in place of iron nail steel for ar¬ ticles to bo used at the seashore, where needles, scissors, knives and forks, hinges and screws are attacked and eaten by tho salt sou damp. At least a strong alloy of aluminium might bo j used for these articles apparently, even ! if the pure tuotal itself could not be. At j any rata this experiment is worth mak- ing.

Other apparatus which bo has pre¬ pared will enable these currents to be tapped at any point and the disturbance noted and measured. A system of tele¬ graphing can easily bo adapted to the invention. This telegraphing through the earth without wires has hern the dream of Tesla for yours. In a different way Marconi, the young Italian iu Great Britain, has also cither wholly or partially solved the problem. "I know I am poor, but it is hard enough to bear without everybody knowing it,” exclaimed a woman to whom a sensational newspaper had sent a doctor under tho plea of giving her aid and then sent a reporter and had her whole story “written up” and her picture published, all for the single purpose of exploiting tho sensational newspaper.

A little Ohio girl only 9 years old lately savod her mother from drowning in tho canal south of Cleveland. The child could swim, tbo mother could not. The littlo girl was probably too young to get panicky, assho might have done if sho had boon oldor. At any rate, when the mother was struggling in the water tho child instructed her to keep paddling With her hands under water, the fingers being held eloso together to prevent ber- ft0lu Binking . Unlike some women, tho mother had sonse enough to keep her head on and obey the directions of her small daughter, who could swim. While she continued paddling with her hands tho little girl swam to her. Then tho little heroine put ono band nnder tho mother’s chin, aud, while swimming with her feet and free hand, steered the woman to the canalboat from which sho had fallen. Then both climbed into the boat. That child deserves a gold modal, and a big one. The people of Central America soeru to bo as volcanic as their own soil and are always iu eruption over something.

It is a fact also that during the past ten years the majority of the new and best methods of learning have em¬ anated from the smaller colleges and have been adopted later by tho larger ones. Because a college happens to be unknown 200 miles from the place of its local ion dexjs not always mean that tho college is not worthy of wider re¬ pute. The fact cannot ho disputed that the most direct teaching and ucces- sarjiy the teaching most productive of good results is being done in the small- 61 i‘“ ej:ican rouges. ! The names of these colleges may not be familiar to tho majority of people, j but that makes them none the less wor- thy places of learning. The larger col- | leges are unquestionably good, but ! there ure smaller colleges just as goc-d I and in some respects better. Some of ! the finest educators wo have are attached to the , faculties of tho smaller iustitu- tions of learning.

The other day a pupil in ono of tho public schools asked the teacher to do a little example in grammar, and since then what seemed at first to be a simple problem Iioh had the serious considera¬ tion of oil the pedagogues in tho com¬ munity, and it has been unanimously agreed that there ib no rule in grammar to cover the point raised. Tho young¬ ster’s proposition waa this: "It is two miles to Woodfords, Now, please write under that sentence, ‘There are two twos in tho above sen¬ tence. 1 i • That is what tho boy said. He did not submit tho problem in writing, and when the teacher tried to follow his injunction she found out the reason why. It dawned on her that there were not two twos, neither were there two tos, and how to express in writing what was easy enough to do verbally she as¬ certained to be impossible. The boy responsible for the foregoing must be a near relative to tho youth who asked hie teacher bow to spell Paris green, and when ehe replied, ‘P-a-r par, i-s, paris, g-r-e-e-n, green; Paris green,” retorted: ' ‘No; yon’ro wron g.

But if we did the some in Franco we should lay ourselves liable to a maxi¬ mum fine of $00 and imprisonment for a term of throe months to a year. It was a remarkablo case under this law when, recently, the editors of a “Young Turk” paper iu Paris, the Meehveret, were haled before tho court for saying bard things of Abdul Hamid, sultan of Turkey. Tho scene iu tho court was a strange one. Tho sympathy of nil pres¬ ent, the judge himself, waa with the daring, liberty loving young Turks, Ahmed Rizza and Ganera, though tbo law required that an example should be made of them. The trial drew to tbo courtroom somo of tbo most eloquent and famous men in France, all there to speak for tho prisoners. Henri Roche¬ fort sent a letter declaring tho sultan’s secretary had informed him (Rochefort) that Emperor William of Germany had recoi v, d a bribe of $240,000 from Abdul Hand U Tho offenders were fined with tbo privilege of being excus'd from paying that. The young Turks wore applauded as they left the court¬ room. In bis recent book on “Tho Peoplo For Whom Shakespeare Wrote” Mr. Charles Dudley Warner quotes from William Harrison, a writer of 300 years ago, an extract explaining why English¬ men eat so muoh. William says: "The situation of our region, lying uoure un¬ to the north, doth cause the heat of oar stomachs to be of somewhat greater force; therefore our bodies do crave a little mere nourishment than the inhab¬ itants of the hotter region are accus¬ tomed withal, whose digestive force is not altogether so vehement, because their internal heat is not so strong as ours. ” It looks much as if the last word had not yet been spoken iu the Turkish war settlement Nine-tenths of all the trouble in this life comes from bad temper.

A prosperous man of affairs who has hie offices in a down town sfcyecraping ftructuro entered the building the oth¬ er day with a disturbed look on his face. Although a men with full confi¬ dence in binuself and one whose judg¬ ment was considered second to no one elsa’s in the street, he was extremely doubtful of the result of the task before him. He was la trouble because his office boy had left him and he was forced to engage another. The boy who gone had been a pretty good one as fcoyg go. He had bossed the boa 3 aud run the office for about a year and was all right when he had his own way, oce unfortunate afternoon he told thg boss that he wanted to got off, as hie Brother-in-law had died and he de- sirtjcl to go to the funeral, *<j v/fin t to go to the ball game my- «,]?.” gai d the "old man,” chuckling, as he recalled how many times that old f uoera i exousel had been sprung on him 0 jg ce b 0 y g) << g0 i guess, James, you wiU have - to mind shop today.” Jamea didn’t appear at the office next morning, but an irate woman who said she was his mother did, and she aouiid- ly berated the employer for his inhu- II1Ruity iu keeping James away from his brother-in-law’s funeral. The boss tried to explain matters by saying that be thought James only wanted an excuse to go to tho ball game and that he did not know there had been a death in the family, but it waa no good. The whole family branded the old man as a brute of the deepest dye, and James did not roturn to his duties. In consequence of this tho omployor inserted an advertisement in one of the newspapers for an office boy, and he bad got down to the office half an hour earlier than usual to receive tho appli¬ cants for tho place. There was a long lino of them in tho hallway in front of bis office, and ho heard touch criticism, some favorable and some otherwise, on bis general ap¬ pearance as ho pushed his way through the throng. He called tba boys into his office one by one and subjected eaoh of them to a searching examination as to his experience, fitness, etc. Ho invaria¬ bly finished up with tho question, “Do yon smoke cigarettes?” Tho boys as in¬ variably declared that they did not. “Never smoked one o’ ther dope Sticks in me life, ” declared tho firet boy called into tho office. "Didn’t, oh?" replied the “old man.” "Let rue see your fingers. ” The young¬ ster’s fingers were stained a deep dirty yellow color, and he was told he waa Dot wanted. "Dat’s not oigarute stain, dat ain’t,” insisted tho second boy called into the Office. “Dat’s paint off me fader’s boueo. ” The excuse wouldn’t work, however, and he was ushered out, as were several more young aspirants for office honors. Finally a bright eyed, redheaded youngster entered the office and answer¬ ed all the questions propounded to him in a satisfactory way. "Now, my boy," came tbo final test, “toll roe truthfully, do you smoke cig¬ arettes?" “What’s them? Those littlo paper ci¬ gars?” answered the youth. “Yes, exactly.” "Nope. Never drew ono nf thorn in- ter me lungs in mo life, ” continued the boy. 1 ' Left me ere yo or hands. ” Tbo boy poked out a chubby fist at him. The man examined it critically, but failed to doteot tbo slightest evi¬ dence ai tobacco stain. “You’re engaged,” he finally said. “Dully for you I” repliod the youth, "So long. I’ll be ter work in de morn¬ ing.’' He then went out, whistling “There’s Only One Girl In the World For Me," and joined his anxious com¬ rades in the hallway. "Youse tellers can all go home,” ho said, “What’s ycr given us? Did ye? get der job?” piped half a dozen voices. “Bet ycr life,” replied the urohin. Thera was a loud murmur of surprise from tho crowd, and finally one of the youngsters exclaimed: "How’d yer do it, Cbirnmy? Do old man said dat ho didn’t want no dope stick smokers, an yer knows yer was do wursest dopo fiend in der push. ” “Oh, youse fellers was so slow dat yer make mo tired,” replied Chimmio in a disgusted tone of voice. "Course I hit de dope sticks, but d’ye t’infe I wusn’t outs ‘uough ter keep it from do ole man?” “Guess yer had a poll or yer couldn’t have fooled his jo blots," said one of tho youngsters. ‘‘Easiest t’ing in de world,” answer¬ ed Chinrmy.
