From the Pall Mall Gazette. In Germany they teach patriotism in the popular schools; in England we do not—at any rate, not officially. In Germany the kalser's birthday, the anniversary of Se- dan and other national landmarks are cel- ebrated in the national schools. They have feasts and music and excursions; but the children have kept clearly before their eyes the reason for their rejoicings. In- deed, the law imprersés upon parents and children that all voluntary absence from these school feasts iy an_ offer There Were parents who kept their children back, especially from the Sedan commemoration, and this on conscientious grounds. But how no longer; “for,” says the magistrate, “any unexcused absence from patriotic fes- tivals established by the school shall be considered as voluntary non-attendance, and inspectors, teachers and the author- {ties concerned are hereby instructed to uae sitent.” 5 =f ‘atriotism a la pedagogue, perhaps, but Patriotism none the less; and the SASS ot - great empire might perhaps do wel. to take a leaf out of 4 book made in Ger- many, Let us imagine the astonishment of the English child if he were told that ho was to have a holiday and a fete for the sake of some great event in our own his- tory.

The Maryland Agricultural College base ball nine lost the first game of the season on the home grounds yesterday. Gallaudet College of this city beat them 8 to 1 in six innings.

The oldest observatory in the world Is in China. Centuries and centuries before Eu- ropeans constructed astronomical instru- ments of metal this observatory had metal instruments of highest value, and they were known to be hundreds of years old in 1279. The instruments in the Chinese observa- tory are marvelous works of art, and their beauty and boldness of design could not be duplicated today. The observatory itself stands higher than the city wall, and is square in shape, the beautiful astronomical instruments standing on platforms with ‘aed shelter, true to the Chinese idea of doing things by contraries. Entrance to the ob- servatory from the front gate leads a hall of rare portions. Then comes a yard surrounded on three sides by one- storied buildings and shaded by enormous trees. Here are two massive and valuable bronze Instruments, exposed for centuries, but without @ flaw or sign of wear, as sailors, ry that they, the sailors, adapted some of their terms to meet their fancy, among these being bridies, whips, bits, ‘stirrups, and the like. a Antiquity of the Mirror. From the Chicago Chronicle. An Ingenious archacolezist says that the oldest evidence of civilization is the mirror, The Japanese and Coreans discovered the art of making one from iron at least 2,500 years ago. This long period is dwarfed by the Chinese record, which shows that mir- rors, large and small, made of brass, cop- per or silver, have been in use tn that land over 4,000 years. De Morgan found a mir- ror that seemed to date from the second dynasty in Europe about 5.000 years ago and the latest investigations in the elvill- zations of Akkad ‘and Nippur show thet the belles of those half-forgotten countries used to admire themselves in ginsses of scme sort or in burnished metal at least fifty centuries before tho Christian ere. eS Lasts "While the War cotati thee Tee ee inthe | fini” aan alkén's Toot eney ruse it cite iameter, having the planets and principal poe conmigo by raised toe in smarting, sweatiog yellow ne and Axed tn thelr proper | Soe at Volunsets ts alge ‘ca ee to Baars fre sight atrgment comfort ut it. all's Peo ‘tga eg
