mar, geography, reading, writing and spelling or any other subject prescribed in the course of study. The length of each lesson must be determined by the local school authorities, and should be of suffi- cient length to insure such instruction as will prepare pupils to pass required tests. Superintendent Skinner also directs that the course of study must be arranged for each grade in every school below the sec- ond year of the high school, and as all pupils cannot read equally well, the aw provides that text books shall be graded to the capacities of primary, intermediate and high school pupils. Teachers must also give oral instruction four times a week for ten weeks to all pupils who cannot read, The new law says particularly that ‘*no teacher shall be licensed who has not passed a satisfactory examination on the subject and the best methods of teaching it.’"’ Mr. Skinner says that his provision re-enacts and emphasizes one of the wise reguirements of the law of 1884, which has been strictly enforced. One of the most important questions, about which a great deal of uneasiness has been felt by the teachers and school superintendents, is that one which refers to the payment of state school moneys. The law is very em- phatic. It says that ‘‘no state school money shall be paid for the benefit of any district, city, normal or other school until the officer or board having jurisdiction ani supervision of such school has filed with the officer whose duty it is in each case to disburse the state school money for such school an affidavit made by such offi- cer,or by the president or secretary of such board, that he has made thorough investi- gation as to the facts, and that to the best of his knowledge, information and belief
Pall the provisions of this Act have been
faithfully complied with during the pre- ceding school year.’’ This law took effect August 1, yet the letter of the law cannot be complied with, inasmuch as the sppor- tionment of state school moneys is made at different times and by different methods, ‘*A strict construction of the law,’’ says Superintendent Skinner, ‘would require normal schools, teachers’ training classes and teachers’ institutes to comply with ‘all the provisions of the act, including the requirements of the first section, but this is manifestly impossible. Normal schools could not comply with that section without employing more teachers and pur- chasing more books, for which no appro- priatios has been made. To deprive them of public money would close them. There- fore, presidents of normal school beards, instractors of teachers’ training classes and conductors of teachers’ institutes will be required once each year after July 31, 1896, to make affidavit only that ‘adequate time and attention have been given to in- struction in the best methods of teaching this branch during the preceding year.’ These atlidavits will he made to the state superintendent of pubn. struction.”
Known to Fame.
Lieut.-Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, who com- pleted his fortieth year of service in the British army on September 7, has probab- ly secn more hard fighting than any other officer of his rank in the empire. He was one of Beatson’s Horse in the Indian mut- iny, commanded ‘Wood’s’’ regiment of blacks in the Ashantee war, and held im- portant posts in the Kaflir, Zulu and ‘Transvaal campaigns and the Egyptian expeditions. Before he joined the army, he was three years in the navy, during which time he was with the Naval Brig- ade at Inkerman and in the trenches, and was severely wounded at the assault on Redan. He is not yet fifty-eight.
M. Goren, who was once the head of the detective bureau of Paris, and who was as well known in Scotland Yard as on the Continent, has made an application to be retired on a pension of $400 a year. M. Goron became famous by clearing up the Gouffe murder mystery, but was after- ward deposed from his high office and rel- egated to a division superintendency.
To a letter from an Italian firm of real estate agents, offering him a great estate in Italy with a dukedom thrown in for so many thousand dollars, Barnett I. Banato the South African diamond king, replied that he would consider the offer if the crown were included.
Labouchere is one of the hardest work- ing members of parlia:neat, being usually the first to arrive in the House and the jast to leave. He isa man of great self- possession, with a large head and a power- ful face. His cyes, under their thick-set eyebrows, are small and piercing.
Ex-Judge William C. Price, who was Treasurer of the United States under Buchanan, is livingin St. Louis, an in- teresting relic of the lost cause. The old judge gets painfully excited when he talks about ‘‘the wrongs of the South,’’ and in spirit he is as unreconstructed ag were Jefferson Davis and Jubal Early, Judge Price, who is now eighty years old, said the other day: ‘‘ When Buchanan ask- ed Attorney General Black, of Pennsyl- vania, if the Government could coerce a state, he promptly replied, ‘‘No.’’ De- spite this fact Buchanan ordered the re- inforcement of Ard:rson at Sumter, That I could not stand, and I resigned.’’
Cardinal Vaughan has been accused of appropriating the arms of the See of Can- terbury.

A Reputed Remedy for Hay Fever,
Martyrs to hay fever will learn with in- terest the experience of Dr. Fuber, of Hamburg, who euffered a great deal from hay fever during several summers. He poticed that in winter a coryza was ac- som panied with hot ears, which retained their normal temperature when the dis- charge from tie nose was established. He trigd a reverse order of things on the hay fever and rubbed his ears unti! they ba- came, red hot. Hecan now lead an oen- durgb'e existence. Ax soon as there is the least gmount of fulness in the nose, the ears are notigeably pale. A thorough rubbing of the ears has always succeeded in freeing the nasal mucous mem brang from congestion, The rubbing must be tiorough and repeated.

would find them interesiing and soctal littie neig bors.
Their subterraneen dwellings are begun as soon as the spring weather be well sottled, usually late in April or early in May. If a pair of them begin building and 2re overtaken by one of the cold rains so frequent in the spring, they scurry back to winter quarters and resume their hi- hernating sleep. Owing totheir social in- stincts they usually sclect a site not far from the home of another pair. Uadera loosely piled stone wall or the roots of @ lonely tree is a favorite nesting place
Owing to the number of 3; who constantly hunt and destroy them, the ’munks have to build a rather elaborate bGrrow. At least, two, and sometimes three or four, entrances lead to the nest proper. These openings aro usually nade under a surface rock or a tuft of ter the roots of a tree, where they attract very little attention. Ky a devious course of sometimes twe!ve or fifteen feet the under- ground path leads to the den under the wall, The other path will lead in from an entirely opposi The |

is or
te direction The hole al- ways plunges steeply down at first, far hbe- low the level of the den. This permits a gradual ‘‘up grade’’ to ba pres rve las the path, thus draining the burrow and pre- verting washouts after heavy rains.
After the young are reaved and the August harvest days come on, the chip- munks enlarge their home by excavating pantries er store-rooms ail along the paths. These are to hold the winter’s provisions Under the nest itself, which is abouta foot high by two fect in kngth and warm- ly lined with fine, soft grasses, these little caves are rougbly scooped Gut and left un- lined.
Among the most provident creatures, these midgets relax their merry play about the time the grain flelds grow yellow and begin to soberly work. Until then they skvem to have not an earthly care. Now the games of “I spy’’ and ‘‘tag’’ are aban- doned, and, with ridiculously swollen out cheeks. young and old begin to carry home grain and early nuts Chineapins, hazel nuts, acorns and “‘pig-nuts’’ they lug in vast numbers. One chipmunk has been known to hold seven good sized acorns in his capacious little cheek pouches, so when one realizes that each one makes a hun- dred or more trips a day to the burrow he will soon see what a store is being laid away.
Unlike the squirre!s, these litt!e fellows seem to dread the cold days. In late Sep- tember, when the frosts have come, they spend only a short time each day outdoors. they rush out under a nut tree, crab the first prize in sight and scarry home as though pursued by fiends. Sonietimes they hasten with reason too, for sume late foraging hawk will have spied the striped jacket among the yellow leaves, and the race is for life. Weasels, too, are greatly dreaded. ‘These slim marauders prowl right up into the very burrows and slaugh- ter entire families in cold blood.
By the middle of Octohkr every chip- munk is snugly hid underground. No one has ever recorded seeing a chipmunk out doors in November, though the squir- rels continue laying by their store until the snow buries and conceals the nuts. Perhaps it is their long, long s!umber that makes these littie animals so lively and pert and bright of eye in the first warm days, but, whatever the reason, they are about the merriest and wisest of our small furry friends,
The F rst Rov Born in Chicago.
Alexander Beaubien doesn’t look much like the proverbial oldest inhabitant, but he has the honor of that position in Chic- ago’s circle of early settlers. Denubien is literally a part of Chicago. His father, John B. Beaubien, came to the lake town in 1809, accompanied by a brother, Mark They had been reared in Detroit, and made the change of location that they might deal with the Indians hers for the American Fur Trade Company, Jchn Jacob Astor’s concern. John LB. Keaubien took upa tract of land extending from the lake west to what is new State strect, respectively. His wife was Le Fronbois, a half-Indian, and the couple had eleven children, Alexander Deaubien is the oldest of the five that stil! live, and he will be 74 years old January 22 next,
‘*There are five members of my family still alive,’’?’ said Mr. Leanbien. “The youngest.is my brother, William S. Beau bien, who has been here fifty-nine years without ever icaving the confines of this city. Mrs Keenan claims to be the first white child born in Chicago, having first seen the light of day within the picket lines of Fort Dearborn February 14, 1832," continued Mr, Beaubien. ‘‘This would make hee also the oldest woman settler living at the present time, but I claim both honors for my sister, Mra El!en M. Robinson, who was born in 1825. Between her and Mrs Keenan there is also another sister, Mrs. Maragret Kobinson who was born in Chicago carly in 182s.’’—Chicago Times Herald.

A Catch Somewhere,
A middle-aged woman called at an in- surance office of a provincial town a day or two ago to announce that she wanted to insure her house.
‘*For how much?’ asked the agent,
“Oh, about #1,000.”’
‘Very well. I'llcome up and investi- gate it.”’
**I don’t know much about insurance,”’ she said.
“It’s very plain, ma’am.”’
‘If I’m insured for $1,000 and the house is burnt down, I get the money, do 1?”
**Certainly.’’
** And they don’t ask who set 1t afire”’
“Oh, but they do. We shall want to know all about it.”’
“Then you needn’t come up,’’ she said, as she ruse to go. ‘“‘I heard there was some catch about it somewhvre, and now I see where it is.’’—Chicago Inter-Ocean,
Origin of “Dago.”
The slang term of dago, now applied to persons of Italian birth or origin, was first used in Louisiana and applied to Span ards. San Diego was the patron saint of Spain, and the frequency with which Spani:rds called upon his name caused them to be termed *‘ Diegues.”
