today-the series OF ancient
rooms along Chestnut S rect
to the southeast corner is
mainly occupied with dress

That is a rather mysterious
corner. It's as well perhaps
that a dozen partitions keep
it apart from the rest and
itself. There are women

dresses. And, as there is
nothipg to say of the women

Written Reviews.

1t is well, sometimes, to have the
scholars replies in a recitation il
Geography or History given wholly
in writing. Thus each question
viii be answered by the whole class
and the knowledge of each member
thus tested, while the exercise trains
the power of expression.
The making of abstracts of les.
sons is another form of composition
of exceeding value in the grades old
enough to understand the process.
1t is well to encourage the scholars
to use their own language in their
abstracts as far as they are able.
Let the teachers strive to perfect
their scholars in those fundamental
attributes of good style, exactness
and condensation, and instruct them
carefully very essential point in
this connection-how to attack a
subject in a logical and effective
manner.
Written reviews are of high value.
They cultivate thoroughness and ac-
curacy of scholarship, and freedom
and skill in the use of language.

The act nassed bv the Legislature

The act passed by the Legislature
a few days ago, allowing cities of
the second class to make the maxi
mum levy for school purposes fif-
teen miles instead of ten, is a wise
and just one. Under the old law
many cities were restricted to a SIX
months term of school, and cities
which had longer terms were some
times obliged 70 resort to legal
strategy to lengthen the term. The
teacher would receive an order on
the county treasurer; he would sue
the district; judgement would be
confessed, and under a section OF
the school laws the district board
would levy special tax to meet the
judgement. The new act means
longer school terms, better wages to
teachers, enlarged facilities, and
therefore give additional strength to
ourschool system.

How A Young Lady Saved a Sol
dier's Life and Won Loving
HuShaDd

Washington Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Congressman Stone of Kentucky,
who walks about the house and up
and down the avenues on crutches--
having lost a leg in the Confederate
service, is expecting his wife to arrive
here from her Kentucky home. The
story OF Stones marriage is g. strange
and interesting one, and proves that
there are as interesting Incidents in
real life as are told in story books.
Stone was a Confederate soldier, and
at a battle in Cynthiana, KY, was
badly wounded. AS he fell his hat
went one way and his musket another,
and he found himself unable to move
to regain either. 1t was scorching
summer day, and he was obliged to be
on that hot hillside. exposes to the in
tense heat of the blazing sun, unable
even to protect his face, except by
throwing his arm across his eyes. His
life blood was rapidly running away.
and he became weaker and weaker,
and soon was unable to speak or
move. The burning sun which fell up
his head and face were adding
untold suffering in his enfeebled
condition. After the fight he was
LETT with the dead and dying, for lr
was supposed he could not live mort
than few minutes or hours. Aztec
the troops had withdrawn, some of
the people living in the vicinity of the
battlefield passed over it, relieving
the necessities of the wounded as far
as possible. Az they passed near
where Stone lay suffering in the hot
sun, unable to speak, young lady in
the party noticed him and the suffer
ings the sun must produce il he were
still conscious. Telling her compan-
ions she believed he was still alive she
procured the ramrods from four
muskets lying near by, and sticking
them in the ground by his head, fast
ened over the top a scarf from her
shoulders, to break the rays OF the
sun. When the wounded were gather
ed from the field it was found that
Stone was still living, and he was sent
to the hospital. There was long
struggle between life and death, but he
finally rallied and slowly regained
strength, after the amputation of his
right leg. The residents Of the town
and vicinity did all they could for the
sufferers in the hospital, sending them
food and delicacies and often visiting
them: One day, after he had gained
sufficient strength to speak and notice
those who visited the hospital, he saw
among the visitors the young lady
who had probably saved his life by
her kindness when he lay helpless and
speeches. on the battlefield. When
opportunity offered he spoke to her
of the occurrence, and thanked her
for her kindness. The acquaintance
thus begun ripened into love, and she
is now HIS wife. ...~-
