Housekeeping schools.

There are two interesting House
keeping Schools" in the kingdom OF
Wurtemburg, which have something OF
the character of secondary school or
college, no girl being admitted to them
till she has passed through the ordinary
schools. The general aim of the course
of lectures and of the practical work at
these institutions is the cultivation OF
sc ceanliness, order, punctuahty and
efficiency in house work and dfarm-work. "
All the work Of the house is done by the
pupils during the day hours. The even
ing is devoted to lectures on various
subjects, singing and drawing. Inboth
institutions the programme is divided
into three branches OF instruction house
keeping, woman's work, and coftInua-
ton of the teaching acquired IN the
primary school. The first of these
branches includes cooking, bread-mak'
ing, washing, ironing, clothes making
gardening, the management OF all ar
tcles of ordinary food, such as milk

ranch are found the use of the sewing
machine, embroidery and even cobbling
with instruction in the manufacture an6

4 MillIonaIre's Pets.

W. Ii. Vanderbilt's great trottiL 6
pair, Maud S. and Lysander. are now
domiciled at Charter Oak Park. They
are in charge of W. W. Bair, under
whose guidance Maud 5. was developed
and by whose driving she has made her
most wonderful performances. The
stalls occupied by the pair are very
large. Opening out of them is a large
shed, in which the horses may be al
lowed still further room for exercise.
Maud s. presents very handsome ap-
pearance in the stall and when her
blanket is stripped off her soft chest
nut coat and exquisite symmetry show
to perfection. Since lasi year she has
fattenei up considerably and now weighs
eighty pounds more than when at
Charter Oak Park last. She receives
the attention of visitors as a queen
should, simply deigning to raise her
large Hambletonian head and push for
ward the ears for which the scions OF
this line are noted. In the next stall to
her is her companion, Lysander, a sD-
perb chestnut, fit mate for the great
mare. He has proved himself one oi
the finest horses to pole in the country
and although when Mr.. Vanderbilt pur,
chased him his record was but 40.
on many occasions since he has gone
much faster and can trct away down III

Forcin: New Ideas.

The Minister of Education i'll Saxony
complains that grave dangers have
arisen from the too rapid development
Of new ideas and so-called reforms in
higher education. He considers that
the ever-srowing criticism of classical
studles as impractical, and the desire
to replace them by something more
obviously useful arises from the mis-
management of these studies: first,
by over-burdening the pupils; secondly,
by over-specializing the instruction. 1t
is noted that with the rapid increase in
numbers Of the Gymnasia, and the
necessary employment of many young
and inexperienced teachers, the home
tasks and preparation expected from
children are such as to overburden their
brains and leave no time for wholesome
exercise or recreation. This is the case
not only in Saxopy, but all over Ger
many, where the pernicious law which
shortens military service to those who
successfully pass an examination is In
force. Every stupid boy is killing
himself that he may escape the COM
pulsory service as private. The Sec
ond evil noted is the over Specializing
of classical teaching, especially in the
direction of Theoretical syntax. The
researches into the constructions of
special authors, and the speculations
on the logical use of particles, which
have so deeply infected the modern
grammars, encourage teachers of what
they call at Cambridge ''pure classic" SO
to set exercises which afford n mere
series Ct syntactical problems, and no
practice in tuning the natural idioms
of one tongue into those of another.
The minute Of the Minister insists that
no Learning off by heart of syntactical
rules will ever teach a pupil the free
and actual handling of foreign tongue.
| The present school is described as teach
ing IAN abstract and subtle dOgmatik,
which destroys all the pupils ENJOY
ment in the great literature Of the past

May I, 1912, WIS a memorable date in
the history of this lair garden. People
were eating, drinking, and making

was entertained, no portentous signs
warned them Of their peril. Suddenly,
like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, a
terrific noise was heard, nature was IN
her convulsive throes, the foundations
of the earth W re stirred. Men started
up with blanched faces, women shrieked
and wept, children crouched down
paraly zed with fright. To escape WAS
impossible. Already yawning gaps
were seen IN the massive walls. The
heavy roofs fell in with a deafening
crash, giant buildings tottered and fell,
the air was filed with flying timbers
ana stones and sickening gases. Alas!

\ High Bridge.

The highest bridge in the world is
rapidly approaching completion, over
the kipzua creek, on the line Of the
New York, Lake Erie and Western Rail
road extension. It is three hundred
AMI seven feet above the creek, and for
several hundred feet it is over three
hundred feet high. Imagine more than
hundred feet ON the Masonic Temple
in Philadelphia and it will give partial
ides OF the immense height. Its length
is twenty-five hundred feet. The KIN
zua creek in itself is insignificant, ex-
cept as trout stream, but at the rail-
road crossing there Is precipitous
mountain on each side and from one
mountain top TO the other runs this
magnificent example of engineering
skill. 1t is buiIt of wrought iron. manu-
factured for the purpose at the Phgnix-
vile Bridge Works, ON a solid stone
foundation, which extends but few
feet above the surface, and the columns,
eight inches in diameter, which form
the derricks on which rest. this immense
structure, look very fraiI. As one runs
his eye along the corner posts from
beneath lie trembles for the first train
that passes at that remarkable height.
Through Mr.. Kiefer, the engineer in
charge, permission was obtained to go
out on the finished part, and those only
who have been up in balloon or stood
on this bridge can imagine the feeling
of awe which strikes the visitor. The
view from the bridge is indescribably
grand and fear is forgotten when the
scene in the valley beneath and the
deep. green hills beyond present them
selves. The hemlOck forest appears
like shrubbery. The men scattered
about on different parts Of the bridge
look like so many spiders. l wondered

be in the neighborhood of three hun

saw huge bear tracks in the sand, and
at once came to the conclusion that the
cIild had been carried off by the bear.
The family Immediately made search
through the forest, which was grown
up to almost jungle, rendering their
search very slow. All day these anx-

child nor did they stop VIXEN dark

calling the lost one by her name,
Morning came, and their search was
fruitless. A couple OF gentlemen from
below, who are travelling through the

house, and, being informed of the cir
cumstances, Immediately set out to
find her. The gentlemen wandered
about, and as they were passing a
swamp spot where the underground
was thick called the child, or else they
were talking loud, when one of them
heard her voice. He then called herby
name and told her to come out of the
bushes. She replied that the bear
would not let her.
The men then crept thrCu ugh the
brush, and when near the spot where
she and The bear were they heard a
splash in the water, which the child
said was the bear. On going to her
they found her standing upon log ex-
tending about half way across a swamp.
The bear had undertaken to cross tie
swamp on the log, and being pursued
left the child and got away as rapidly
as possible. She had received some
scratches about the face. arms and legs.
and her clothes were almost torn from
her body; but the bear had not bitten
her to hurt her. only the marks of his
teeth being found on her back, where,
in taking hold of her clothes to carry
her, he had taken the flesh also.
Tie little one says the bear would PUT
her down occasionally to rest and would
put his nose up to her face. when she
would slap him, and the bear would
hang his head by her side and purr and
rub against her like a cat. The men
asked her if she was cold in the night
and she told them the old bear lay down
beside her and put his EARNS" around
her and kept her warm, though she did
not like his long hair. She was taken
home to her parents.
