tional Statistics.
Figures Sliowlnj; the Number of In
stitutes of Learning, Pupils And
Teachers and the Cost—Value of
School Property in the United
States—Dr. Harris' Report.
Washington, Oct. I.—Dr. William T.
Harris, United States commissioner of
education, has made public his fifth an
nual report for the school year ended
November 30, 1893. It comprises three
parts, the first of which is devoted to
statistics. These show that in the year
1892-93 the whole number of pupils en
rolled in schools and colleges, public and
private, in the United States was 15,083,-
030 or 22.5 per cent, of the entire popu
lation. This was an increase over the
preceding year of 870,697, and the total
ifltiuld be increased to 15,400,000 if pupils
in attendance upon special educational
agencies were included. The enrollment
of pupils in tin* public schools for the
year numbered 13,510,719, an increase of
1.92 per cent, over the preceding year,
while the average attendence increased
3.45 per sent. The details of attendance
show that children in the United States
leave school for about two-fifths of the
year to engage in labor or from other
motives.
Yaluo of School Property.
There were employed in that year 122,-
056 male teachers and 260,954 female.
There has been a decrease in the number
of male teachers since 1880 and the
number of female teachers has increased
70 per cent, in that period. The number
of school houses in 1893 was 235,426,
valued with their contents and appurte
nances at $398,485,039. The school reve
nue for the year was $165.000;000; the
total expenditures were $153,000,000. Of
this amount $104,000,000 were paid for
teachers wages; $31,000,00(H) for
the construction of school houses and
$28,000,000 for fuel, supplies, etc. In
the last twenty years the value of school
property in the United States and the
common school expenditures have more
than doubled. The number of pub
lic high schools reported to the bureau
in 1893 was 2,812, employing 9,489 teach
ers and having 232,951 pupils enrolled.
Reports were received from 1,434 private
high schools and academies employing
0,261 teachers and giving instruction to
96,147 pupils. There were 451 universi
ties and colleges for men of both sexes.
Of these 310 were co-educational, an in
crease of three per cent, in two years.
The total number of instructors was 10,-
247 and of pupils 140,053.
Colleges for Women.
Colleges for women alone numbered
148 with 2,114 teachers and 22,949 stu
dents. These institutions had 5,319,602
volumes in their libraries; their equip
ment was valued at $128,872,801; en
dowment funds, $98,095,705; income for
the year $17,671,550 and the benefactions
during the year $6,715,188. State ap
propriations for agricultural schools
which received aid from the United
States under the act of 1802 amounted
during the year to $1,634,715. As a re
sult of professional education in the
year there were graduated 4,911 medical
students, 2,652 dental students, 3,394
pharmacists, 6,776 law students and
7,836 theological students. Theological
schools are more heavily endowed, com
pared with their expenses, than any
other class of institutions; of theological
students one-half get their collegiate
training in denominational schools, one
sixth In non-sectarian schools and only
3 per cent, in state universities. The
graduates of normal schools numbered
4.491; the number of students 53,465.
The amount appropriated by states for
support of normal schools that year was
$1,452,914. and for buildings $816,826.

TOMBSTONE RHYMES.
Remarkable Samples Discovered In New
England Cemeteries.
It is common to say that makers of
gravestones have little regard for the
truth; "monumental liars," they arc
sometimes called. But though the
good side of the departed is generally
--and properly—emphasized, tliero arc
many instances in which a spirit ol
frankness seems to have possessed the
village poets, whose services arc sc
much in demand on mortuary occa
sions.
In a Vermont cemetery, according to
an exchange, one may read the follow
ing epitaph, which certainly docs not
rr on the side of flattery:
Hero lies in silont clay
Miss Arabella Young,
Who, on the 21st of May,
Began to hold bor tongue.
And hero is a quatrain, never be
fore in print, of a curiously similar im
port:
Hero lies tho body of Hannuh Thurbor,
Once she talked, and nono could curb her;
Three husbands had 6ho, all are dead,
They died of earache, so 'tis said.
In the same rural Cemetery where
this last outspoken epitaph is found,
visitors sometimes pause to smile at the
ingenuous grief of a widower whose
change of mood in the concluding coup
let was perhaps quite unintentional:
In memory of Susan Glover,
My wife most truo and kind;
Though I should marry tea times over,
Her like I shall not find.
, Grammatical correctness is perhaps
too much to ask of the unprofessional
muse. Meter and rhyme arc hard task
masters, and while a man is intent
upon minding them, he is almost to be
pardoned for using a little too much of
that very convenient article known as
poetic license. In a case like tho fol
lowing we may praise the smoothness
of the verse rather than laugh at the
ruggedness of the grammatical con
struction:
Pause, good friend nnd drop a tear,
Tho body of John Pratt Is horo.
Think of the day when you will be
Under tho sod as deep as me.
The amateur poet is troubled not only
by the trammels of meter and rhyme,
but by tho narrow space in which he
is obliged to work. It is impossible to say
everything in four lines, nnd, as a con
sequence, much must be left to the un
derstanding of the reader. So it was,
no doubt, with the author of the fol
lowing:
Beneath this stone lies William Bctt,
In tho river ho was drowned:
A squall camo up, his boat upset.
His body was nover found.
THE GOOSE BARNACLE.
Olio of tho Most Interesting Members of
the Shellfish Family.
The goose barnacle does not attach
itself to an object rigidly by its shell,
like the common barnacle, but by a
disk, at the base of a stem or a neck,
and it is from this stem or neck that it
gets the name of goose barnacle. With
a glue or secretion of its own it at
taches itself so tightly that it is diffi
cult to scrape it off; but the neck is
flexible. The body of the goose barn
acle, when its hand or feeder is within
its shell and out of sight, looks some
thing like a soft-slielled clam; and it is,
in fact, sometimes called the clam bar
nacle. The goose barnacle is not un
usual in the waters around New York.
In its earliest existence the goose
barnacle, like other barnacles, is a free
swimmer, but it very soon attaches it
self, and thereafter it remains fast. It
may hitch on to a spile in a tideway or
to some other fixed object, but it is gen
erally found moored to a floating ob
ject, a piece of wood, a plank, or tho
side of a vessel; fastened to a moving
object it is more likely to get sufficient
sustenance.
Tho barnacle lives upon animalcule.
It fishes for its food with a feeder,
GOOSE BARNACLE.
which it throws out from its shell and
uses something like a hand or a net.
1 he feeder is made up of many slender
little lingers, with delicate feathery
lateral projections, through which the
•vater passes easily, but which retain
'.he animalcule. The barnacle throws
this feeder out from its shell and
jweeps it through thejwater and over
into its shell again with whatever it
:an collect. It repeats this until it is
ao longer hungry.
The barnacle hero pictured was until
recently at the New York aquarium at
Oastle Garden. It was taken from the
jack of a loggerhead turtle captured in
he bay. The goose barnacle is deli
cate in captivity, and this one proved
ao exception to the rule. In color its
>hcli was not unlike that of a clam,
riic growth seen on the side and back
of the shell and on the neck of the bar
nacle is a fine, brown, mossy, marine
vegetation often seen on such bar
nacles. There were also on the shell
•>f this barnacle three or four minute
barnacles of the ordinary kind, ex
tremely small, each perhaps not more
than an eighth of an inch across, and
yet each provided with one of those
wonderful hands or nets wherewith to
supply itself with food.—N. Y. Sun.
llow Papa Was Pinned Down.
"Papa, I've got some mending for
you to do. My roller-skates are broken."

SYMPATHY FOR CUBANS.
Two Big Meetings in Chicago Last
Night.
Chicago, Oct. I.—Surrounded by patri
otic mot Los, with the American flag in
tiie background, the declaration of inde
pendence as a text, book and the spirit of
liberty as an inspiration, 4,000 persons
yelled themselves hoarse last night in
the cause of Cuban independence. There
could scarcely have been more enthu
siasm had the meeting been held in Cuba
itself. Central Music hall was not big
enough to hold all tho sympathizers and
there was an overflow meeting in the au
ditorium of the Young Men's Christian
association building. At both meetings
the same resolutions were adopted and
speeches were made by men prominent
in civic affairs, all of which uncompro
misingly favored the freedom of the little
island in the thralldom of Spain. The
resolutions express sympathy for tho
revolutionists; call on the United States
to recognize them as belligerents and
ask other countries to join in making
this demand. They begin with the best
known paragraph in the Declaration of
Independence and end with a determin
ation to continue the work begun at last
night's big assemblages.
Messages of Sympathy.
Messages of sympathy were read from
Senator Cullom, Governor Altgeldt of
Illinois, Russell A. Alger, Mayor Pin
gree of Detroit, Senator Call of Florida,
Mayor Bostwick of Jacksonville, Fla.;
Mayor Caldwell of Cincinnati, Mayor
Salinonson of Tampa, Fla., and others.
Nearly every prominent club and organ
ization in that city was represented on
the list of vice-presidents, which in
cluded also the best known business and
professional men. Among the associa
tions represented were the Loyal Legion
G. A. R., Confederate association, Sous
of Revolution, State Federation of labor,
Irish American, Scandinavian, German
and Afro-American focigtius.
Proceeding!* at Central Music Hall.
Mayor Swift presided at the meeting
at Central Music hall. In opening the
proceedings lie made no speech, but took
occasion to express himself as in full ac
cord with the movement. Among the
speakers were Rev. Dr. Thos.
11. Bryan, Judge Mines, Congressman
Mason, Rev. Dr. Barrows, Bishop Fal
lows and others. The proceedings closed
with the singing of two verses of
America. The meeting at Association
hall was no less enthusiastic or crowded.
Judge Vincent made a few remarks as
presiding ortieer, saying ho was a believer
in the independence of Cuba, but did not
wish to see a violation of national laws.
The audience was deeply interested and
any good point made was taken up at
once.
"WOULD SEND 200,000 MEN.
Spain's Mighty Effort To Crush the
I Cuban Rebellion.
Havana, Sept. 211, via Key West. Oct.
I.—Cable advices received hero state
that rumors circulated in Madrid as to
the sending of from 150,000 to
men to Cuba created much surprise, and
that the press of the whole peninsula is
discussing the matter. Senor Cartel lanes,
minister for thecolonies, gave a guarded
opinon, saying that the number had
been over estimated, but added that if
it became a necessity, tho reinforcements
would be made up to 200,000 men, but
in bis opinion, 30,000 will be ample.
In Madrid it is also reported that Cap
tain General Martinez Compos wrote to
Senor Sagasta stating that a combined
force of 100,000 men regulars and volun
teers would be ample to crush the re
hellion, and that in closing his letter
he said that all relief expeditions to the
rebels must be stopped at all hazzards.
The Cuban financial question has had
full attention, the Spanish ministry hav
ing made ample provisions for all war
supplies and expenses.

VERY LOWEST PRICES.
Read - the - Tribune. I
Are the only HIGH GRADE and strict
ly first class pianos sold direct from
the factory to the final buyer.
Are the only pianos on which you can
save the dealers' profits and enor-
mouß expenses, agents' salaries and
music teachers' commissions.
Are the only pianos every aeent
condemns, for the natural
reason that NO AGENTS are em
ployed by us.
Are the only pianos which are not sold
in a single store in the United
States, because we closed all our
agencies over a year ago, and now
sell only to the final buyer, at the
actual cost of production at our
factory. \\ e have no store on
r.road street, but the factory ware
room is open every day till c p. m .,
and Saturday evenings from 7 to 10.
