Hay the Cincinnati Tribune : Home coeducationalist young man i clamor ing for admission to Vassar College. Why not? The women are now ad mitted to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia and other colleges for Wen, and it' a poor rule that work both way. But Vassar sny she won't, and if a woman wou't she won't, and there' an eud ou't. When the annual message of Gover nor Frank Urown was communicated to the Legislature of Maryland, the members found it copiously and hand somely illustrated with photo lithographic picture of the public buildings, etc., upon which it treated. The idea is believed to be unique, and the legislators are accordingly ex nltnnt, declares the New Orlenns Picayune. Wife-beaters are treated in what the New York Dispatch terms a sensible style in Germany. They are not im prisoned, as in this country, but are arrested every Saturday after they have finished their week' work, and kept in prison until the following Monday. This is done regularly every week until the sentence has expired. The object, of course, is that the de linquent shall be able to earn money during the week to support his fum- i'y- In some parts of Germany the bells toll for the making and breaking of au engagement. They also toll for the burial of a lovesick maiden, but sel dom for a man attacked and killed with the same disease. It might be a good plan to adopt the custom of boll ringing lor engagements in New York, declares the New Orleans Pic ayune, if it were not certain that the bell ringer would die from the ex ertion spent in tolling his bell for the broken troths. The Presidential term of M. Carnot will expire next December, 1894. That will complete twenty years of the "Septenate" regime in France, where President remain seven year in power. Marshal MacMahon resigned in 1879, twenty-one months before the regular end of his term. M. Grevy fillod a full period of ".Septenate," even years. But he resigned his sec ond Presidency two year before its constitutional end. Before the estab lishment of the Septenate, M. Thiers had also resigned hi Presidential functions. The course of promotion in the navy pay corps is illustrated by the case of the oflicors just advanced to the rank of paymaster, and of those below them in the list of twenty past assistant pay master. The officers just promoted have been about sixtoen years in t to service, of which four years were passed in the lowest of the pay corps grades and the remainder in the next highest. Tho officer now first on the list of post assistant paymasters has been fifteen and a half years in the service, of which he passed three and a half in the lowest grade. When pro motion comes, which must bo soon, ho will have been more than twelve years past assistant paymaster. What our publio schools lack most, maintains the Chicago Journal, is a coarse of instruction in the eoonomio law underlying both National and private business. If our voters had all had even an elementary knowledge of the principles on which our currency nd method of taxation rest, the present suffering and the last year's fl.000,000,000 shrinkage of values might have been averted. It would be a sensible and patriotic measure to lop off about a half dozen of the fancy frills and fad studies in tho higher grades of the publio schools und sub stitute in their pluce a simple elemen tary course of instruction in values, settlod principles of economics. It would mean the business success of many of the students iu after life who How meet failure. PENNSYLVANIA ELECTIONS GAliUSHA A GROW ELECTED. Bis Plurality In the Bints Estlmatec at 17B.OOO.

A YEAR'S FIRE LOSSES. THX INSl'KASI R I'OMPANIKS Of PENNSYLVANIA CAME OI'TltEHINII. II ahbisfiro. Insiirancs Commissioner Luper In an Interview on the lire losses lust year made the statement that the ratio ol losses to premium incime will exceed 10 per cent, and that for 13 years there is notli. log to compare with these figures. F.x plaining this statement, he said it simply means that the I'tnnsylviinl i companies were compelled to par out 1,818,074 more than tliey rcreive I premiums during the year and still have many thousands of on paid losses. In other words, instead of making money they lost nearly 2 0)0,0(H). Asked us to the condition as the Pennsyl vania lire companies he said: "Solvent, everyone of them, but whether they call rpiuain so with the business as disastrous ss Inst year Is another question." He thinks hard times has something to do with the large percentage of lire losses, but attri butes the faultly construction ot building snd carelessness ol property owners as the chief cause.
