Dr. Schaeffer, state superintendent of public instruction, is after tboso school boards which have not com plied with the law relative to the study of physiology. Superintendent Schaeffer has evidently determined that every school hoard shall do its whole duty toward the public school children. An illustration of the severity of the times is found by the New York Independent in the fact that two physicians lately advertised in a daily paper, offering $5,000 to a man who would submit to an experimental sur gical operation involving some risk. One hundred and forty two answers were received. There are many heroes iu the world of whom fame takes 110 accoun f , who do their duty bravely and think no more of it. Of such are the Ply mouth miners who for days or niglds have been risking their lives in order to save their comrades imprisoned in the mine, or failing in that, to res cue their bodies for burial. The English, in its phraseology, is far richer than other languages, de clares the Scientific Atnermm. The total number of the words of the' German, Erencli, Italian and Spanish speeches, combined, is about 180,000, while the English contains 250,000 or 70,000 more words than the total of the four tongues above named. Among the reductions that are taking place all about us we fail to discover a cut in rents Many an owner of tenement houses condemns the reduction in wages as 1111 outrage upon the workingmen. Here's an elegant opportunity for such men to give practical demonstrations of their sympathy for the wage earner. It is certainly a great feather in the cap of American railway managers to be able to say notwithstanding the greatly increased travel during the Columbian year 1898 the number of deaths from accidents was ninety-nine less than in 1891, and 115 less than in 1890. Considering the numbc r of extra trains and the great speed of through trains the record is remark able, and wholly creditable to the management of the railroads. The New York Press says that Jes sie Spright, one of the most prom in ent citizens of Pitt county, N. C., is authority for the statement that I Green county, in liis state, is the home of one of the most remarkable freaks of nature this country has probably ever produced. This freak is a seven-year-old son of Mr. Lassi ter, a farmer of Green county. Around the pupil of each of the boy's eyes, in cirular shape, is the word, 'America," in pel feet characters. The boy's eyes are dark, and the let ters are brown and legible. Home political ignoramus who writes to the New York Sun from Philadelphia declares that there will he no Democratic candidate for gover nor in Pennsylvania this year. There are not three states in the Union in which there are more Democrats than in Pennsylvania. When they shall fail to run a candidate for governor the moon will have four horns. That a Democratic candidate will bo in the field is sure. He will not bo certain of his election; but until the vote shall have been counted no one enn j tell what may happen. I'hi.hid<lpi/in Record. Professional politicians arc not backward in changing climates. This is one of the interesting political phenomena of the day. Justice Sutherland, of the Long Island bench, has an ohvious conviction that the air is not salutary for him and joins the throng. Mr. Croker and Justice Div vcr go away just at the time the New York legislature wants to investigate Tammany. McKane did not recog nize the insalubrity of the atmosphere 1 soon enough and he is up the river, ami Justice Sutherland came near being too late, as ho lingered Ion" enough to allow a King's county jury to bring in a verdict of convictii n. Mr. Croker really en joys Texas, Con gressman Bourke < bekrnn has a rare fondness for Mexico, and the calm philosophy of taking a vacation at the right moment is something beautiful. —l'/tila. Times. j AMATEURS' TOURNEY. Wrestling and Boxing Contests for Gold Medals. Boxing In All Weights Championship Honors to Amateurs from Every Club City A Notable fleeting Coming. [COPYRIGHT, 1804.1 Amateur athletes all over the coun try arc preparing for the boxing and I wrestling championship tournaments ' of the amateur athletic unions, which i open in New York city on March 19 next. The preliminaries arc schcd uled for that day in Madison Square | garden, and the finals come on the 23d. | The tournament will be governed by j the regular athletic amateur union rules, and the representation of am ateurs includes every state in the union. - Some amateurs have supposed that the championships of the world will be Contested for, but it is the champion* ships of this country that are alone to be settled. Director F. \V. Sanger, of the Madison Square garden, is now making elaborate preparations for this carnival, and, comparatively distant as the day still is. he predicts that the amateur athletics will assemble on a more 'imposing scale than has yet been witnessed at any similar event in any city. In the boxing tourneys, ar rangements have already been con summated with clubs in San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, and every northern city with a population exceeding 30,000 to have representative contestants from the regularly certified amateur organiza tions. The bantam class will be obliged to weigh in at 105 pounds or under: the feather weights at 115 pounds or under; the specials at 125 pounds or under; the light weights at 185 pounds or un der. and the middle weights at 158 pounds or under. There will also be a heavy weight tourney at the standard weights. The wrestling contests are already being prepared for by duly certified amateurs all over the country. The JAMES E. CURTIS. weights and classes aro respectively: Bantam, 105 pounds; feather, 115; special, 125; light, 135, and middle, 158. The regular amateur athletic union championship medal (die gold) is to be presented to the winner of each event, while a silver medal goes to the second man in each contest, anil these prizes will be the recognized honors in the American amateur world, entitling their respective winners to ranking honors in their particular classes. The unusually large number of contestants is due to the fact that entries are ac cepted from all amateurs who are members of recognized amateur clubs. The championship committee, as ap pointed. includes William li. Curtis, of New York, Warren M. Salisbury, of Chicago, and James E. Sullivan, of New Jersey. A peculiar interest attaches to this carnival, owing to the recent whole sale suspension of the so-called uma teur boxers by the Metropolitan asso ciation, and the consequent promi nence given to nil contestants outside of New York. The affair is strictly amateur, and alt who are in athletics for revenue only are to be rigorously j excluded. What action will be taken witli reference to the men in New York who have been accused of enter n. s. CORNISH. ing, In effect, the professional classes, it is impossible to predict, but it is certain that amateur standards will In no respect be changed. Of tin; most noted figures In amateur sport, the majority promise to come from Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Philadelphia and Detroit. There will in- Keen Kit/patrick, of the Michigan Amateur Athletic union, accompanied i by a party of wrestlers, who, while ' still unknown to the country at largo, j probably will curry away more than one medal. From Wilmington, Del., | John C. Kpoerl will head a team that will try for botli wrestling and boxing lienors. Baltimore claims to send the I star of the amateur boxing ring. Charles Gehring, who will lie entered in the light-weight class, and, although a young man, iie is expected to make a reputation at the meet. Charles I'. Monte 11 will he a conspicuous figure in tiie Maryland delegation as well. I The record of the New Kngland men is being looked forward to with great Interest. Secretary Russell, of the New England clubs, is authority for the statement that the Itostonians alone will enter ten men, and probably more. The lack of harmony tiiat lias ehar- acterized other amateur championship I meets promises to bo eliminate I nt i this affair. To bo sure, there is thedif 1 fleulty about the standing of the New | York men, but amateurs throughout j the country arc glad that the amateur • standard is strictly adhered to, and thai, the professional men have been | given the "go-by." The trouble with those amateur contests has always been, heretofore, that the desire to make money has almost obliterated the sporting spirit, and in ruling out the money makers a service has been rendered to amatcuivlom. Moreover, the cltibs of amateurs in and around New York city have rallied around the committee, and the metropolis will be represented by the recognized leaders' of the spirt. Maxwell E. More, of the New York Athletic club, has been elected as referee, and Frank Peters, of the Boston A. A., will be one of the judges, ami Ed W. Kearney, of the New York Athletic club, the other. Thus all possibility of unanmteur in fluences prevailing is eliminated. Many amateurs have been at a loss to understand the terras according to ■ !jp." / !i ■ '"-<3 .V:i ImmL ' X JOIIN CIRAIIAM. which they may compete, yet the modus operandi is unusually simple. The entry form requires the name of the contestant and the events In which I lie proposes to compete. Each coin petitor must certify, also, that he is an amateur, according to the laws of the | A. A. IT. of the I'nited States, and must/ I certify, over the signature of the sec | retary of his club, the last four pcr- I formances in which he took part. I Of these performances he must spec ify the date, the event, (i. e., its na ture), the winner, and the place won in the amateur rank. Secretary Sullivan, jof the A. A. U., receives and files all entry blanks. The southerners are preparing sever al surprises for the carnival, but the nature of them is being carefully con cealed by the clubs of .Jacksonville, Mobile and New Orleans. It is stated that in the feather-weight boxing con tests the Georgia amateurs are prepar ing to do great things, but it is hardly likely that the prestige alrea.lv won by Pittsburgh in this line will be low ered. The spirit of the affair is to give a chance to the hitherto little-known men, and there is, hence, a general reluctance to make predictions us to whether any one city will get more j medals than another. There are many i amateurs in New England who seem j likely to give the New Yorkers a hard tussel for the wrestling tournament championships, but in the New York Athletic club it seems to le the opinion |^wi i -M I JAMES E. BULLIVA:*. that the metropolitans will win pretty much whatever there is to win. That the friends of amateur sport will crowd to the garden during the continuance of the carnival has al ready been evidenced by the advance auction sale of boxes. Manager San ger lias already been telegraphed to in this connection, by amateur clubmen in San Francisco and Chicago. Other friends of the sport who will attend are President Weeks, of the Mercury Foot club, "Abe" Hummel, the litigious friend of a host of the contestants, A. tr. Mills, Charles 11 urn ham and others, as noted. The meetings of the olllcial commit tees of many of the western athlet\ organizations will he held in Now York during the progres of the tournament, and the result is that, during the latter part of March, thore will be in New York the ivpre i entative. men of the amateur world. A list of the delegates would he a catalogue of the prominent figures in the athletic ■ directory. It is not unlikely that some | new code will be formulated with i reference to the standing of athletes, I with reference to professional and amateur contests. This course is de sirable, in order to end many petty dis putes that at present are arousing much bitterness among athletes all over the country. The arran cements in the amphi ' theater are all that could l.e wished, from the spectators' point of view. The seating accommodation will ho distributed strictly in accord.-.nice with the rules of precedence, and friends of contestants will have ample opportun ity of seeing not only fair play, but of judging for themselves how fair, in their opinion, the referee's decision , are. In this respect the show promises to outdo all other fistic and wrestling carnivals ever arranged. There will be no deviation from ama teur rules for any person or club. An Kaaier Plan.

It was Easter morning, bright end Run shiny, but on the brow of Mrs. Van Squiggles rested a cloud betraying an- j guish dark and deep.

"Lovely morning," he remarked. "Lovely, Mr. Van Squiggles; a day on which no woman having a new bon- ! net could be detained from church. It ! makes little difference to wfi, but I hate to think that every woman in ' town will believe you were too mean j to buy me an Easter bonnet." j "llut I—" i "Oh, laugh if you like! Doubtless it is very funny that after promising me seven times that you would stop at the milliner's last night and bring home my bonnet you came without it," | "Pshaw, it's only a joke; if you—" i "A joke, eh? Perhaps it is a joke, too, ' that a dozen fresh eggs are missing from the pantry, when I aroused you I "WELL, CAN'T YOU TAKE A JOKE?" at midnight only the other night and begged you to have that cellar window mended at once." "But I looked carefully at all the fastenings last night." "Humph! You kept me waiting long enough to come to bed; it was very in considerate, too, when you knew I couldn't sleep anyhow for worrying about my bonnet. There goes Mrs. ! Do Suellc to church now. Her bus ! band remembered her bonnet, I see." i "Well, she's early enough." ! "<'f course; she sits in the front pew." "My dear, I wish yon would see what those children are doing; they make as much fuss as if tlioy had dis covered a roc's egg. Ha! ha! How foolish she'll feel when she finds—" But Mrs. Van Squiggles burst into the room bearing a strange-looking ob ject and weeping wildly. "There, there!" he cried. "Don't | 2ry — l did remember it after all, you see, and just hid it for a joke. I feared you would suspect when you missed the eggs. I had a great time finding them and then filling the thing with them—they do make such queer-shaped bonnets nowadays. I only meant to have a little fun. and put it where the children would be sure to stumble over | it." I "And so they did!" j "Well, can't you take a joke?" "A joke! A pretty joke for me! The | —the eggs you put into it were not ; cooked and—and my lovely new bon j net is ru-ruinedl" And Mr. Van Squiggles had not a j word to say.

What company opens here at Easter? i —Puck. Resurrection of Christ. ! "The resurrection of Christ is a dem onstration of a future state after this life, and a pledge of a blessed im mortality in another world. For our Lord by His resurrection from the dead has conquered death and abolished it, and brought life and immorality to light. The belief of a future state after this life should put us upotr the most earnest and vigorous endeavors to secure this happy condition to our selves; 'if by any means,' as the apos tle expresseth it, 'we may attain the resurrection of the dead.' It should raise us above the world and the lusts of it, above all the terrors and tempta tions of it."—John Tillotson. An KHlrr Wish. Oh, if we could only lift up our heads and live with Ilim; live new lives, high lives, lives of hope and love and holi ness, to which death should be noth ing but the breaking away of the last cloud, and the letting of the life out to its completion.
