Fashion is a fickle jade. Articles
and styles of men's and woman's wear,
household goods and furnishing* ih it
went out of fashion twenty years ugo,
are again coming into vogue.
Almanacs were undoubtedly the
first periodical publications. They
prepared the way for the quarterly re-
view, the monthly magazine and the
woeld^ and daily newspaper.
Fom more than four thousand years
people walked the earth without know-
ing what to do with the tmiall of their
backs. America, was discovered, the
American was born, and he settled the
question of what to do with that part
of his body by sitting on it
Tint patent medicine almanac has
undoubtedly done much barm, es[>eeial-
ly In the country. It is road and re-
read by petsotis who have not much to
do, and they come to imagine that they
have all the disease* that the medicine
it advertise* i* warranted to euro.
Tils Arabs make companion* of
ttaqir horses, and they get in return
the service* of willing ana i r-toWigont-
friends. Most hor* s have thuir vio-
ioitsnes* thrust upon them, and even
a vicious horse may be change l in
nature by persistent and intelligent
kindness.
A French historian ha* lately pub-
lished a book to show that history is
altogether wrong in representing Joan

complete Showing of the status Out ucially
of the railroads in the state. This show-
ing will furnish information calculated to
remove prejudice ajid deprive demagogues
on either hand of the greater part of false
assumptions which they have expected to
project this spring and suiiim *r in their
political exploration* after the offices. -
Whence the stiggje *tlon to Comptroller
McCall to formulate the numerous ques-
tions to the railroads came is not known.
If original he Is entitled to gieit praise,
and If advised by others he ha* adopted
and well executed a valuable Suggestion
beariiig directly upon the question of
railway legislation now uppermost in most
minds.

VVK mu*t never forget that in tlie
case of animals tho pupil cannot rise
higher than tho teacher, and that the
teacher must be thoughtful, and intel-
ligent. lie must not only feel n kin-
ship with his pupil, but he must recog-
nize In him an individual character,
and must adapt himself to that.
TiIk workman of to-day is able, to
accomplish vastly more in ten hours
than could his predecessor twenty-live
years ago in fourteen hour*, because
he h*s improved machinery and im-
proved methods; and the result of hi*
ten hours work is wortli more tli »n the
result of fourteen hour* labor with tho
old appliances.

Men havp practiced the principles
of hereditary 1)leading upon horses for
hundreds of centuries better than they
have practiced it upon themsel ves, and
yet while the horse has been under

as the Kgypti in* who bred’ great
