JAPAN’S CHIEF FORCE SO COLONEL COCKERILL DESCRIBES HER EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. ( iwdaotloa ■ Feature of the fljratem—All Moat Attend School Cp to the Ape of Foorteen—The SoldecU Taught—Teach er*’ QuallAeationa. The common school system of Japan is in my opinion the chief support of the empire and the promise of the fu ture. There are only two grades of schools—the ordinary and the higher. Children of both sexes, between the ages of 6 and 10, attend the former. Children between the ages of 11 and 14 are eligible to the higher grade schools. Every municipality, township, village, town and city is required to build a schoolhouse or schoolhouses, according to the census returns of children of school age. The houses are constructed according to the capacity and require ments of the school division. In the cities the school buildings are quite commodious and pretentious, though all are seemingly overcrowded. In the country many of them are poor wooden structures. It is obligatory for all chil dren between 6 and 14 years of age to attend a common school until the course is finished. The law is not rigidly en forced because of the poverty of the country and the absolute necessity for children to aid their parents by some kind of labor. But where children are permitted to attend school there is no trouble about the attendance. There is no such thing in Japan as a schoolboy “creeping like a snail unwillingly to school ” They go trotting to school with happy faces. They all wear a black or white cap with a leather visor, and they carry their books in a leather satchel The majority of them are stu dious and fond of books. Children of notoriously bad character or who are constitutionally disqualified for receiv ing instruction are not admitted to the schooU. In the ordinary or lower grade school the subjects tanght are reading, com position, caligraphy, arithmetic and gymnastics. The latter is optional, ac cording to the character of the locality. One or more of the following subjects are also taught in addition to the above: Japanese geography, Japanese history, drawing, singing and handiwork. For girls sewing may be added. In the high er grade school the curriculum embraces moral lessons, rending, composition, caligraphy, arithmetic, Japanese geog raphy, Japanese history, foreign geog raphy, science, drawing, singing and gymnastics. For girls sewing may be added. Foreign geography and singing may be eliminated. One or more of the following subjects may be added, ac cording to requirement: Elements of geometry, a foreign language, lessons in agriculture, commerce and manual training. In all the schools great stress is laid on essay writing. Every class is trained in calisthenics. Where singing is taught, the children enter into it with great zeal, and they make themselves heard for a considerable distance. In the common schools the summer vaca tion lasts from two to six weeks and the winter vacation from one to five weeks. The number of holidays shall not exceed 90 in any one year. In schools of the ordinary grade military drill is left optional In the higher grade the military training of the male pupils is obligatory. To this branch great attention is given and every boy who leaves school at the ago of 16 has in him all the elements of the soldier, save perhaps efficiency in the manual and use of arms. They are made famil iar with the highest forms of discipline Teachers in the schools must have due qualifications. They are selected and ap pointed by the governor of the prefec ture or the city in which they are to teach. These teachers are regarded as government officials, and a small pen sion is provided for them when they are incapacitated by age or permanent ill ness. Their salaries are small, ranging from 10 yen to 25 yen per month. Text books are chosen from those authorized by the minister of education, and are selected by the governor of the district upon the report of a committee selected by him. Last year Japan expended on common schools the sum of 9,055,980 yen. The government maintains a num ber of high grade schools, and the coun try is well supplied with excellent pri vate schools and colleges, which are maintained by tuition foes, and in some cases by government contributions to cover deficits. Last year the number of children educated in Japan at public expense was 8,260,453, and the average daily attendance was 2,489,657 pupils. —John A. (Jockerill in New York Her ald. Day* of Miracle* Not Famd. Farmer Johu Heddon of Verona, N. J., believes the days of miracles are not past. A few dr.ys since he mowed a large quantity of h:.y in the great field at Caldwell Next day he took several teams to draw the hay home, expecting to find it in an unfit condition for haul ing without throwing and drying, as a heavy rain passed over the section the night before. Mr. Heddeu was surprised to find that not a drop of rain had fallen on bis meadow, while to the west, south and east of his land the ground was sat urated. — Cincinnati Commercial Qa- ■ette. Bloomer* 'score the Hone*. The city council of White Pigeon, Mich., has been petitioned by a consid erable body of the citizens of that place to prohibit women from wearing bloom ers on the street An uugallant "where as” in the petition alleges that horses are scared by the bloomer apparitions. At Coldwater, in the same state, some of the women bicyclists recently passed out of the bloomer stage and took to men's knickerbockers and golf stock ings. The Closet* Fetch Them.

There has been received daring the past 80 days news from Chile which will not be regarded as joyful intelli gence by the fri udi of Daniel De Foe. Poor old Robinson Crusoe’s hat on Jnan Fernandez island ia to be torn down, and in its place will be erected a prison station, to be used as an anxiliary to the Chilean penitentiary at Santiago. Jnan Fernandez ia to be thrown open to set tlers, and rumor is extant that Mocho island will a)~o be advertised as "a splendid place or a poor man to make a fortune. ’ ’ Mocho island is mentioned in connection with the story of Jnan Fernandez, because, according to South American historians, the spot was prob ably the landing place of Sailor Alex ander Selkirk, whose adventure De Foe elaborated into chapters of marvelona narrative, instead of the lonely rock several hundred miles in a southwester ly direction from the port of Valparaiso Doubt still exists in the minds of a number of Chilean writers as to the identity of the island on which Selkirk spent four years of lonely existence. The Chilean department of coloniza tion has never been inclined in time past to invite settlers to the islands ly ing off the ooast of Chile and owned and controlled by that republic. Robin son Crusoe’s domain has been sealonsly guarded by representatives of the Chil ean government, and all attempts to settle upon it or to learn the secrets of its qneerly shaped canyons, ranges and peaks have been discountenanced by stolid officials of that little southern nation.—San Francisco Bulletin. BAD ST. BERNARDS. wui It Till* B* True, School Bov* to Bo BotUoA. All except the most depraved cynics will grieve to learn of the sad indict ment of the St. Bernard dogs, which are supposed to be trained to rescue belated travelers in the Alps. These noble beasts, which everybody has been told possess fidelity more than human, have been accused of base treachery by cer tain mountaineers. Thus one traveler writes: "1 was approaching the summit of Piz Languard in company with a friend when a huge St Bernard met ns on a narrow path. With a very transparent assumption of good feeling toward us the brute ran at ns and tipped ns over the ledge. Providentially the next ledge was near, and we fell softly on the snow. Then the fiendish ingenuity of the brute became apparent. Instead of attempting our rescue, as the dogs in foolish old legends do, this great our busied himself with the luncheon bas ket, which had burst with the impact, and ate our cold chicken, while we, with some deft alpenstock work, at length retrieved our safety. The sooner these mountain pests are extinguished the better.”—New York Sun. Thoac Society Ramon. But of all the Vanderbilt rumors the most grotesque is that young Cornelius Vauderbilt, a mere chit of a boy, is paying serions attention to Miss Grace Wilson, the charming daughter of the luckiest family that ever lived.

A Boondary Monameat Oom. The granite monument marking the lexicon boundary at Tia Juana, in San liego county, was upset last January y a flood shortly after it was erected y the international boundary commis- ion. This elaborate shaft fell into uicksaud. Stienuous efforts were made i recover it. The sand was probed to lie depth of 36 feet, but no trace of the jet monument could be found.
