his arrest he was found in Bowery
saloon, where he had drawn knife and
undertaken to stab his companion at cards.
de was frenZied and incoherent, but after
a quoting treatment at the hospital
he had talked coolly, if irrationally, about
what he had tried to do. He said that his
father was playing cards at Halifax, Nova
Scotia, one day about thirty years ago,
when he detected his antagonist IN gross
cheat. As the stake was considerable,
the victim of the fraud was greatly en-
ragged. He sprang upon the swindler,
and would have slain him with knife
had not others interfered. The assailant
was sent to prison, where he died pro
claiming his regret that he had not com
pleted the murder. My job in this life,"
said John Gray Hazard, lis to finish the
one father begun. I've got to do it,
That is his mania. DIR. Mcdonald has
learned that his patient never exhibited
signs of madness before the incident in
the Bowery saloon. That appears to have
been the melting cause. And the scien-
tlhcally curious point is that the sons
outbreak of lunacy began at just the
Juncture IN game of cards where,
fraud being detected, his father had used
a knife. The present Hazard was not
born until little more than nine months
after the fathers crime and imprison,
ment. The question whether his delusion
Is inherited or whether it arose from the
mere duplication of the fathers card ad-
venture will be discussed at the next
meeting of the Medico-Legal society.

4 NEGLECTED SPOT.
The Cypress Shaded Enclosure Where Shelley
Heart Rests.
-
ournal OF Commerce.

Shelley" asked the man in charge of
the Protestant cemetery at Rome, when
we appeared at the gate on a recent beau
tiful afternoon. 1t is the only English
word besides Keats" that he can pro
nounce correctly. Three years ago the
same man put the same question to US.
We again answered yes" For with
many others of the English speaking
race we took sad pleasure in visiting the
grave of those two gifted unhappy beings.
Shelley's heart alone rests in the cypress
shaded Enclosure which is now full of
graves. The rest of his body, it may be
remembered, was reduced to ashes on
funeral pyre in the presence of Byron and
others at that spot on the shore of Spezzia
bay, where the drowned poet had been
cast up by the waves. As this is an age
of monuments to neglected genius, 1 was
curious to see if anything had been done
for Shelley by his ardent admirers since
1888. No! there Is the old small stone
flat on the earth looking moldier than ever.
The inscription ''Concordium'' is filed
with dirt A weed looking like burdock
grows rankly about the grave. There is
not flower near it unless one should
count in a withered and bIackened rose
which some pitying soul had thrown down
on the center of that dingy marble slab.
This may have been lying there for two
or three months. I dare say fragments
will be found there q year hence unless
the wind blows them away. For IL is evil
dent that Shelley's tombstone Is never
swept and cleaned except by the elements.
Trelawney the lifelong friend and staunch
defender of the poet rests beside him
He died at the age of So and Shelley at 80.
In standing beside these two graves,
equally destitute of human care, one
pays a tribute to friendship as well as to
genius.
Another old man-Severn- sleeps along
side of young Keats. Their graves stu
ated in free and windsvept place, out
side of the stuffed cemetery, are well car
ed for. The same good people who put up
the exquisite portrait of Keats in alto re-
lievio against the wall of the portal and
erected the tombstone IN memory of Sew

tention to the graves The wall near by Is
thick with climbing roses Daisies, but

The difficulties which beset the teachers
in country schools are many and of vari-
Gus kinds. In many of the country
schools of this country the pupils have
not sufficient number of textbooks. and
1t Is almost impossible to persuade pa
rents to provide them. This can be over
come to some extent by the teacher exer-
cising his ingenuity in various ways. and
using the black board and maps almost
continually but it doubles his work
The greatest difficulty, however, is in the
attendance of pupils. A great many send
them to school only when they can find
nothing else for the child to do. They allow
children TO absent themselves from school
on the slightest pretext. The corn must
all be husked; the winters supply of
wood must all be cut; and indeed all the
farm work must be finished before school
Is thought of. We boast of the best form
of government and the best school system
on the face of the earth, but at the same
time comparison of our school system
with that of Germany will convince the
most ardent admirer of our system that
We are far behind in the effectiveness of
our school laws We should have law
requiring parents to send their children
to school so many months every year and
provide necessary books for their use.
Until We have such law, and have 1t en-
forced, we must expect slow Improvement
IN the country schools.

in various parts of Pennsylvania.
Il was in Tamaqua not long ago" said
the agent, and l was told that the town
had a new fre-engine, and had provided

men congratulated themselves on the ar
rival of the machine and on the prompt
service it would render in the future.
They asked me to go and see the engine,
and l went. Just as we got to the door
of the engine-house there was an alarm of
fire. We found the horses hitched and
the men standing around. The engineer
didn't seem to be in a hurry to get out,
