I Schoolbook Puer- For the m Who Know- It All. Schoolboys and girls of today who think they are oppressed by problems requiring the use of both English and metric units of weight and measure would be appalled by an examination of some of the text books their grand- mothers studied. The author of “Old Time Schools” quotes many questions which are in a language unintelligible today. “ 7- --_L! w---” - “How much will 10 serous of cock!- neal come to," asks an urithmetic pub- lished a century ago in Northampton, 15333., “weighing neat 724 okes, 73 rotolas. at so plastres per oke?” “How much will 189 bazar mauds. 31 seer and 8 chlttacks of sugar come to at 6 11pm per mam?” Any one who had finished a course in that book was evidently equipped to go as supereargo in an old fash- ioned merehnntman. But who of toâ€" day would know for what he was euninned when he had struggled with young German, John G. Almondinger. wishing to Americanize himself as much as possible, applied to the legis- lature and had his name changed to Sohn G. Almond. A few days later a man named John Smith applied to the same legislature, and after reciting a long catalogue of the ills to which he was subject, owing to his unfortunate- ly common name. he said in conclusion. “And whereas I have noticed that you have curtailed the name of J.

The Russo-Japanese War is al- most forgotten. and the papers are occupied almost equqgively with the North Sea affair. Not a public din- ner or function of any kind but the speakers refer in unmeasured terms to the conduct of the Russian omcera and urge the Governme t to be firm in its demand for anti action.

All leaves have been stop- ped in the navy, and in the unlikely event of the situation becoming so serious as to need it, a strong naval torce could Quickly be concentrated. That a pOSSibility of dangerous dc- velopmcnts lurks in the protraction o! the crisis is seen in the fact that the Russian correspondents of Brit- ish papers are beginning to send ra- ther inflammable despatches.
