The Kansas City Star recently reprinted from the Independent a few of the questions submitted to the boys In the De Lancey School at Philadelphia in a "general Information test." The questions are not based on text books, but on the general reading and information of the boys. So much Interest was expressed In the questions printed, that another set Is herewith submitted, taken from the same list. Altogether there were 133 ques-ions In the test, and it is believed that there will be general agreement that a boy who could answer most of them la on his way toward a fair education.

They are not ordinary watchmen by any means, or their present stipend, ISO a month, would perhaps te considered good "wages for that class of service. The watchmen are the disabled veterans who have been maimed or worn out In the service. They are not pensioners, but work every night In the week, spending twelve hours at the ticker, listening for calls. Many of these veterans have eiva a Ions lifetime In the department, either rt active capacities or as broket. men who ga.vm ud health to protect the lives and properly of the panlic.

Fred Baltz, who guards the inmates of the Female Hospital, now-used as an Infectious disease ward tfor children, became a fireman In 1866, a year after the close of the Civil War. He was active for 38 years, becoming a watchman In 1904, when Infirmities developed. William Horstmeyer. watchman at Engine Company No. 11, joined the service In 1859.

two years before the Civil War, and became disable in 1893, after 3 4 years of active ervice. It Is proposed in the pending bill drafted by The Star, to add $5 a month to the stipend of these watchmen, as the cost of living in recent years bears with equal weight upon the active and disabled. Names of watchmen, number of company, when appointed, when made watchman, reason of reduction will be found below: 1. Cornelius Zeller. 179; 190S; loss of Ifg rc.enliing from injury.
