On account of the requirement! growing out of the arrests of women nnd young qbildren, many cities hav« found the office of police matron abso¬ lutely indispensable. Moreover, they have constantly increased its scope on the iden that a-hile the common pro¬ prieties of life warrsnted the creation of the office, it was furthermore of nn- told value on account of the reforma tory influence which it exerciaed. Un¬ der proper regulations there is no rea son why this office should not beooma one of the most efficient in the city Government.
Boston's Itttest is a flno innovation. Tt is nothing less than putting swim¬ ming in the public school curriculum. All the public school pupils are to bt taught to swim vithont charge, th« oity furnishing bathing suits. Twenty- six expert swimmers have been en gaged as instructors, Jiended by tbe ohaDcpion swimmer of the country. This is a piece of practical edti'catiou that every city might well hasten to adopt. It would cost no more than some of the wood-carving and pnper cutting courses thnt now take up the time of the pupils.
The London Mail says: It is no^ altogether satisfn ctory to Hml thnt th all-conquering American is not only producing as good armor as Kngland, but producing il cheaper. Yet, ac cording to a (lerinan navnl periodical, the British tirms of Vickers ami Brown were uuilerliidden by the American Arms of Carnegie and Bethlehem ami hy the German firm of Krupp in s tender for the armor of two new Bus sian bnltleshipH, Botb .\merii'nn Hrnin were fill per ton below the IowpnI British tender. There is nii nnplena nnt monotony about these lailiiros ol Knglishmen to hold their owu in for eign contracts.
One thing that wir always does is to bring merit speedily to the frout. The junior lieutenant is likely any ilaj to do a stroke of work thut will cnust his photograph to crowd his com manding geueral's out of the illnstra ted pnpers. Every dny develops some new instance of daring and gallantr} in a subordinate officer, ,\nil these are the men now destined to quick pro¬ motion. As overy French private soldier in the uld days was snid tc cnrry the baton of a Mnrslinl of Franc in his knapsuck, every man iu army or uavy, no matter huw humble, hni the chnnce to rise to any preferment tho service alTorda by distinguishing himself sufficiently.
The I'mted Stntes is the wenltliiesl nation iu the world. This is u fad that is often repeated, but because o) the nnlurnl ilisposition of the Ameri can people to belittle theiuselvea which has arisen by n kind of renc tion from the old ilispusition to brns and bluster, it seems to be univeri-nlli forgotten.

It conslilnlea one of the nn canny elements of a war That ouna of leail comes from a source tha cannot be >Iisc.ivere.l.

BILLY RILEYANDTHECIRCUS
Hy    KRANClis    ALLKN.
HK  row of children dung with toes uml Hiiuers to   the buck liuok of   Miss   Dix¬ on's   desk,   nrouml her crowded a ring three    deep.       Hhe enjoyed  this   morning   socinlile, with bright faces peering between the mugs of lilacs, and the   light, swaying pres¬ sure about her shoulders;   but   thrifty of time, she was   accounting for gnpa iu yesteriliiy's ntlendnnce.
Patsy McGuw hnd been obliged to "mind hia linliy; " Jimmy Fox pleaded a "sore front;" .liiuniy \elaoii, shy of his audience, gave evasive answers, Jimmy was a dear little boy, bnt his one-sided dimple wheeled him oil' the straight path so often that Miss Dixon cross-qnestioned him senrchingly,
"Oh!" he cried al last, his face flushing. "No'm, didn't run nway from school, if that's whnt you're drivin' at,"
There wns no mistaking his face, ,Timmy wna innocent for once, nnd Miss Uixou flushed as quickly na he had doue,
"I'm sure you didn't. Jimmy. Billy Riley, I suppose you have some ex¬ cellent reuson for yonr nliseiice'/"
"Er-rr—" stnmiiiered Billy, trying to wind himself up to the point of speech. Here Diniiy I'liulen npaet one mug of lilnca, nnd iu the scramble to snve the register, Billy's atlonipt ul speech wna lost,
"Did hnvenn excellent renaon, I'd told her if she'd waited," muttered Billy, going hi his aent,
Billy was cross tlint morning. He rubbed out his drawing so furiously ns to make a hole in the paper. In mar¬ bles he broke the rules of the game and quarrelled with the other boys uu¬ til they put him ont of the ring. They resented the more this Ht of lawless¬ ness and ill-temper from good-nntured Billy.
"Oidnt tell no lie. She never nal me, ,-<he just supposed," ho wns any- ing while .Miss Dixon expUineil the lesson,
",Sho never tliought I'd run nwsy. She wouldnt think where 1 went was nny excuse. She'il think it wns worst of all. Where did she say the next lesson was'^i It's just as sho suid, T hud an excelleut reason, but if I told hur ahe wouldn't think so, I'm goin' to get a week ahead in my cipheriii'," So Billy tinned himself into u mul¬ tiplying muchiiie with a phonographic attachnieiit, which Kroiind out, ut in¬ tervals, "It WHS au excellent reason." Wednesdnv wus "poelicnl evtrncl " day, nnd in llie nfteriioon the childri-ii hunted out note books to copy the lines written upon the  liluck-bonrd.
"ro-dny I huve giveu you n grown up    selection, " snid  Miss   Dixon, nnd the teaiiher rend   (our liiiea from Em¬ erson, ending: "Wln-u l)ulv\vhlsp.-rs low, Thnu must, Thoy. Illll rc|,lies, 1 ..un! "
"Now tell me what .yon mnke of it, Eddie, what doea it   menn'i'" ahe suiil,
Eddie scowled iieur-aigliteilly nnd I twisted one supple le,{ about llie other. "It means, " he said, slowly, "like when your mollier wnnts yon to wuali your iiniids when tbey nren't dirtv, liutyo.1 do It."
The children took Eddie'a interpre¬ tation synipathetii-nlly.niiil the tenclier, too much in enrneat to smile, reiilieil, "I'm sorry you mind washing ao much, Eddie, but you have pnrt of the idea,"
The lines reminded the other chil¬ dren of "the s.il.liei- who went to tlie war," of "Hie lioy at,j,,d „ii the burn¬ ing deck—what "US his other iinme':i " of "the Dutch boy nt the dike, " and other heroes
"It's like that red book nf yourn,all full of golden deetls," said Johnny Mack,
So in childish fashion Iliey caught the tli..iii;M of 111,, lines, and wlo-n thi-y were l.:iriu-.I by heart tlie teacher told a "Inc K|.,ry of n bravo nieaseii- ger-lioy. who li,.id refused to give up an iiiipoituiit key to burglars who threnleiie! to killliim,

home from pasture, the   circus-poster man drove by nie,
"I see his, horse's girth wns hangin' 'n' I hollered, -Vour girth's broke,' and he jumped out aud I give him a string to men.l it n' some wintor- greeus, 'n' he wrote oun card, 'Admit William Uil.-y and la.ly,''u' said that would take me inside the circus. Knew I'd never get another chance 'a' I went, and I aiu't sorrv,"
Now Miss Dixon was a Hrm dis¬ ciplinarian, unaccustomed to culprits who looked hor in the eye. She wos used to littlo boys who prostrated Iheir beads and shod copious tears, with perhaps the tail ot an iuverted eye watching her countenance from uuder cover.
She looked Billy over. He was neatly if cheaply dressed. Probably tho aunt who was "boss of him" did her beet, yet his thin, square face gave an impression of having ofteu been set grimly to benr disnppoiut- ment alone, Billy could not read her face as he waited, gind thnt the thing was done nud bracing himself for the worst.
At last sho spoke, "Billy, I seo how you felt, aud if you had come frankly and told me nil this I think I could have arranged to lot you go without running away,"
Billy looked blank. He knew Miss Dixon's word.
"Why, I n-nover thought you'd—I d-didn't kuow —I didn't s'pose you'd be ao r-r-reuaonnble nbont it."
"Billy, we teucliera nro glad to be na 'reaaonnble' ns you uurensouable little lioys will lot us be,"
"Didn't mean to saaa yon Perhaps I m-iiieaiit some olher w-ord, I d-didn't think you'd take it that way, and maybe I ain't very glad I weut, after nil."
"I'll tell you how- I came to under¬ stand, Billy. I ouce rau away to the circus myself."
Billy sat down on the top of a desk. "I did. No, I lode away, hidden by the 'liulValo' which drupod the old buggy-seat, I crawled out half- siiiothered, hoping my brothers would lake me into the tent. It wasn't con- si.lered proper for girls to go then, and nllhough fthey were sorry, they sent nio homo on a market-wngon. Somehow, I have never been, and I'm much more than eleven."
Hilly was full of sympathy, "If I'd been your brother—now what a pity! >ly card said, '.\nd lady," Twouldn't have coat you a cent."
"liut I ahould not have liked to run nway uow aud lenvo my school in the lurch. Dill you havo as good a time us you expected':'"
"Yes'ui, it was splendid. The ponies was great, and the elephaut and tbo b-bnby elephant. And you ought to seen tbem ride. But I was sorry I hud to run nwny—I thought I llud to—wheu yuu thought I was such a good boy. .-\iid I didn't like bring¬ ing down the nv'rigeattendance. Now ifumber eight ia the hiKhcat."
"It triiiibles me more to have our uveingo sluiidurd of trustworlhinoss lowered.     I did trust yon, Billy."
".And I saw sumo of the boys there with their folks, but [ didu't wajit to talk about it afterward, as I thought I should. I know they wouldn't tell," "I am glud you told me; but of course you would,"
"I felt mean not to, 'specially after
Ibem stories.     And you were real "
" 'Bensonuble,' Billy'? But could liny one have reasonably expectoit that lillle Dutch boy to stay alone in the culd and dark nil night, witb hil linger in tbe dike? And could any one have reasonably blamed Ihe little messeiigur-biy if he had given up the key? Would it have been just as well if they had dono no more tbau could be reasonably expected?"
"I sb-shouldn't think it would." said Billy; "and just going to acbool wasn't anything extra to do, either. I think I acted mean. What shall I do to make it up? "
"What can yon do?" "Er--I might make up the tima ufler schoul, I'm nlioad cipherin', and J3gra|iliy is re\iew, and reading and Inngungo and those things don't coiinl   "
"Ob! Don't tbey?" "I might learn a piece of poetry, I anppoae, or, " brightening, "the flow¬ er beds n-need weeding dreadfully." Miss Dixoii wua i-onvincedof Billy's i-incerily, "Von cannut makeup a thing like that. Hilly. Vou can only leuni to du better next time. That is nil I am goiug to ask you to do. What have you learned?"
"'riigo ami tell you when it seenia us if things ought to be done that h hain't uiiglit to."
".Vii.lif I am  unreasonable?" "Not    1,1    do     em,"     said    Billy, |ir..mptl.v,
