H. Grandgent, professor of modern languages in Harvard university, and if his Ideas prevail we may soon have classes in the polka, the echottische, the gladsome two-step and the emotional buck and wing performing steps In the schools of the land. Prof. Grandgent makes his offering in the number of the School Review issued recently from the University of Chicago press, and says: "Even under the most favorable conditions, the linguistic attainments of ordinary scholars are absolutely worthless from a commercial standpoint. The plea that the possession of a stranga tongue is essential to the enjoyment of travel, or that It is often convenient for Intercourse with foreigners at home, is too frivolous to merit consideration.
On such grounds a better case could be made for dancing as a high school study, as nearly all pupils are likely to have opportunities to dance." GERMAN CABLE COMPLETED. Second Submarine Line to America Laid Total Length Is 4,800 Nautical Miles. The second German cable from Bor-kum to New York, via the Azores, haa been completed.

A sick coffee drinker must take 3 steps to be rid ofTiis troubles ana jnt strong and well again. The first is to cut off coffee absolutely, That removes the destroying -element. The next step is to take liquid food (and that is Postum Food Coffee) that has in it the elements nature requires to change the blood corpuscles from pale pink or wh'ite to rich red, and good red' blood builds good strong and healthy cells in place of the broken down cells destroyed by coffee. With well- boiled Postum Food Coffes to shift to, both these steps are easy and pleasant. The experience of a Georgian proves how Important both are.
"From 1S72 to the year 1900 my.virt and I had bath been afflicted with siclc or nervous headache and at times wo suffered untold agony. We were coffee drinkers and did not know how to get away from it for the nabit is hard to quit "But in 1900 I read of a case similar to ours where Postum Coffee was used in place of the old coffee and a complete cure resulted, so I concluded to get some and try it. "The result was, after three days' use of Postum in place of the coffee I never tyad a symptom of the old trouble and in five months I- had gained from 145 pounds to 163 pounds. "My friends asked me almost daily what wrought- the change. My answer always is, leaving cf coffee and drinking Postum in its place.

Cleveland, June 29.
The merchant marine commission began its hearing in this city Tuesday. One of the interesting features brought out at tho hearing was a statement by James C.

Louis Many Years. The "Invliiciltl Nineteen" Would 1'lt I'rleea for I.eKlslntloii In Secret Cuueus and Then Collect the Cash. St. Louis, June 29. Charles A.
Gutke, former member of the house of delegates, convicted on a chargo of bribery and soon to be tried on another similar charge, has made a complete confession to Circuit Attorney Folk, in which he declared that former Delegato Charles F. Kelly had told him he had received $50,000 for going to Europe when his presence in St. Louis jeopardized men of prominence. When he came from the circuit attorney's office Gutko banded out for publication written exfracts from his confession of which the following is a part: "I became a member of the house of delegates in 1897 and at onco became a member of the combine of that body, which was an organization composed of 19 delegates for the purpose of selling legislation. The first bill that came up after I had become a member of tho combine was 'the Suburban loop The combine got $20,000 for their votes on this bill; on the 'Union avenue' bill we got on the Central Traction bill we got on the Third street line bill we got on the lightlngjjjll we got on the Suburban bill we were to get $75,000, which is now in the safe deposit box in the Lincoln Trust company, being placed there with the agreement that It should be turned over to us when the bill had been passed.
While these are some of the largest, bribes secured during my term of office there were 'innumerable others ranging from $10,000 for switching bills to a few hundred dollars for some minor privileges. "The bribe prices were fixed in meetings of the combine, the procedure being for some member to get up and move that a certain price be fixed on a certain bill. Other members would give their opinions and a vote would be taken p.nd the price receiving the highest number of votes would ndopted. Then we would select an agent of the combine by ballot to negotiate for and receive the money. This agent would distribute the money amongst us.
From my intimate knowl-edeg of dealings with this combine and from information secured on what has been going on here for the last quarter of a century, I make the positive statement that there is hardly a corporation in the city of St. Louis of $250,000 and over that has not either been held up for bribe money or bought official action from the combine in the house of delegates." FORTY HOUSES WASHED AWAY Cloudburst Over Itobl Valley, Near rittNhnrw. Canned Dcvasta-tion and Denth. Pittsburg, June 29.

mi mm LIEUT. GEN. 13 A HON OKU. Telegraph says that severe fighting took place at Kai Chau on June 25 which resulted in the capture of that place on the morning of June 20. If the report Is true that Kuropatkln is in retreat, it will be difficult for him to reach Liao Yang from his position at Hal Cheng, where he Is threatened with destruction by Kuroki.
It is possible, however, that he may retreat to the west and reach X.iao Yang, all depending upon whether or not Kurokl is in position to follow him rapidly. Such a move on Kuroki's part might leave his flank exposed to Stakelberg. Stakelberg's position in either event is extremely perilous. HAS PARKER THE VOTES?

With the election of 30 delegates by the Missouri convention the roster of the democratic national convention is complete. No presidential candidate has enough instructed delegates to nominate. In democratic conventions a two-thirds vote is required to secure the nomination and to date a sufficient number of delegates have not indicated a choice to give any candidate a majority. The more sanguine of Judge Parker's friends say he will have a clear majority of the 994 delegates on first ballot and that the break to him will occur the moment this fact is shown.

Figures published by the treasury department place the aggregate of wealth In the United States in 1900 at against a total of only in 1850. By an enormous margin this is the most wonderful development of a nation in all history. Two of Missouri's learned men are gravely discussing the origin of the phrase, "You'll have to show me," both assuming it to be of modern construction. Yet a party by the name of Thomas made a similar remark pome it centuries ago. A treasury report states that the number of savings bank depositors in this country has grown from 1,067,061 In 18GC to 6,358,723, and the railway mileage from 9,021 miles in 1850 to 199,378 miles.
Statistics of this kind have much to do with the increase of European interest in the material progress of the United States. A London physician has made careful calculations and says the average waltz takes dancers over three-quarters of a mile. The square dance represents a distance of half a. mile and the galop between two and three miles. Therefore, the evening ball means a tour of something like 15 miles.

Of this huge amount $258,348,000 went to satisfy death claims; the remainder was paid In annuities, etc. The First national bank of Chicago will begin the erection of a $5,000,000 structure which is to be the largest office building in the world, and is to require more than two years' time for its completion.
