of my stateroom, much to my delight, was even
worse than I was. Few escaped that horrld

never would cross the channel again.
II seemed natural to be IN England once more,
although it surprised one at times to hear every
one talking English. n was uresome ride to
London All the passengers who had crossed
from. Rotterdam seemed IS If they were hardly
strong enough to hold up their heads, and as We
went on without stopping there was no chance o:
getting anything to eat. What q relief it was as
we drew near waltham On the border of Epping
Forest and then entered the suburbs Of the east
end of London! Soon we were in Liverpool
street station, civil poner picking out our for
eign luggage and slowing US away in Hanson.
Then we were whirled out into the busy world
of London aloug Broad street, past the Royal
Exchange. past the Elephant and Castle" and
Remington Park. and then home. Our green
drawing-room was just as We had left it in June,
and Mrs. x, was waiting 70 receive US with open
arms.
Our few days in London before going down to
Cornwall were very busy ones We had still
few sights to see, besides much shopping and
packing of trunks to send on to Liverpool. We
had left London in the midst Of the season.
and on our return although everybody was out
oftown" we still found plenty of people there We
found time one evening to attend the promenade
concert at Coyent Garden, and found the in
mense theatre, where we had heard Patti in
"Dinorah" few months before, turned into 8
grand concert room. The orchestra being sta

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
THE SCHOOLS AT HOME.
Conducted by J. II. Terry, Principal of Mineral
Point Public Shoots.

1t is probably remembered by
some who read this column that
about year ago the existence of
certain hinderanees to the successful
prosecution of their work by the pu-
pills of several departments of the
public schools rendered it necessary
to make an appeal to the parents
for aid in removing these obstacles
and promoting oeeper interest. 1t
is pleasure to b, able to inform
the parents that th. school has thus
far during the present year been al
most entirely free from all such
disturbing influences, and that a
very satisfactory dgree of interest
has characterized tn, course of the
large majority. Tho attendance has
been good for the year; in the high
er grades scarcely eten fallen below
80 per cent. of the membership.
Absences have been almost invari-
ably occasioned by absolute necessi-
ty. Discipline has been maintained
with less friction than usual, and
even the strong yearning to utilize
the enticingly soft and sticky snow
which the recent warm days have
efel.ood, ('i,e strongest temptation,
no doubt, which the boys have had
to resist has been kept we'll under
control, and none of the disorder too
often attendant upon the indulgence
of this propensity has been expert
enced. To the parents whose CO.
operation has done 50 much to Sc
cure these results, the teachers de-
sire to express their sense OF obliga-
ton. While they are well aware
that the children are the party to
whom the highest benefit has accru-
ed from this cooperation, they rec
ognize the fact that their own work
has been rendered much easier and
more agreeable by reason of it.
As great freedom has been used
heretofore in suggesting to parents
the necessity of their aid and the
direction their efforts might profit
ably take, it is but simple justice to
announce in a similar manner the
success of these effuts.
AS it is impossible, however, to
represent in this manner all that it
is desirable that tie people should
know about their schools, it seems
but proper in this connection to
make the Suggestion that they come
to the school and learn the whole
truth by personal examination.

the ruins, amounting in all to about
500. The prescription case which
cost about one hundred dollars was
a victim. The fire undoubtedly
