the GentIemen's Singles.
Today was very interesting one fol
those who visited the Casino courts
where the tennis tournament is being
played. And OF visitors there were
many, for this year good deal more in
terest is being taken in the contests thar
heretofore, owing, doubtless, to the rep
utation of. the players and the excellence
of the arrangements.
The first play today was the
conclusion of the series of the second
round, and in this Kenneth Carter put
Barry to flight with score OF 2, 6.4'
The third round resulted as follows
Barnes beat Ellis, 61, 6.3; F. Carter
beat Twiss, SO, GA; Cawston beat
Lester, 81, 6.1; Kenneth Carter beat A.
Campbell-Johnston by default. Latest
reports from the grounds show that in
the fourth round F. Carter beat Barnes
and X. Carter beat Cawston. In the
final Frank Carter beat K. Carter and
won the event.
Considerable interest is always CEN
tered In the ladies' singles, and was
never more manifest than when the
games opened for this event today. Miss
Gilliland obtained q bye; Miss Wilkes
beat Miss Shoemaker, 2.6, 60, ga; Miss

Secretary Higgins, of the Chamber of

been sent to the chief vineyard growers
of the county asking that they make regu-

All that the Chamber of Commerce asks
is that the produce shall be given to
them for exhibition purposes, they pro-

Dtfferent Forms.
Yesterday, Nina Varian, young lady

Judge Wade to be examined for lunacy.
Her mother stated that from a child she
had been afflicted with melancholy, and
affected loneliness. This seemed to be
all there was the matter with the girl,
and Judge Wade thought it best to send
her to the Girls Home for period to see
how she would get along. This was ac-

George Hall was taken into custody at

ODD SUPERSTITIONS.
How the Romans Protected Themselves
Against Storms and Lightning.

How tho Romans Protected Themselves
Against storms and Lightning.
Caverns were supposed by the Ro-
mans to be secure places OF refuge
during thunder-storms, and they be-
lieved that lightning newer penetrated
more than two yards into the earth.
Acting on this superstition, the En-
peror Augustus used to withdraw into
some deep vault Of the palace, when-
ever tempest was feared, and 1t is re-
corded by Suetonius, that he always
wore a skin of seal around his body,
as q protection against lightning. That
both precautions are equally unavail-
ing, needs scarcely to be mentioned.
Lightning has been known to strike
ten feet into the earth; but not even
tho marvellous accuracy of modern
science can determine at what distance
from the surface safe retreat may be
found from the descending fluid; and
even were this ascertained, the dam
gers from ascending electric currents
remain the same.
With regard to seal skins, we find
that the Romans attached SO much
faith to them as non-conductors that
tents were made OF them, beneath
which the timid used to take refuge.
It is somewhat curious fact, that In
the neighborhood OF Mount Cevennes.
in the Languedoc, whore anciently
some Roman colonies were known to
have existed, the shepherds cherish a
similar superstition respecting the
skins of serpents. These they care.
fully collect. and having covered their
hats with them, believe themselves SO.
cure against the dangers of the storm.
M. Labossiere is disposed to see link
of interesting analogy between the
legend which yet fingers in the mind
of the peasant of Cevennes and the
more costly superstition held in rev.
erence by his Latin ancestors.
The Emperors Of Japan retire into O
deep grotto during the tempests which
rage in such severity in their latitude
but, not satisfied with the profundity
of the excavation, or the strength o.
the stones of which it is built, they
complete their precautions by having
q reservoir OF water sunk in their re-
treat The water is intended to ex
tinguish the lightning-a measure
equally futile, since many instances
have been preserved in which the fluid
has fallen upon the water with the
same destructive effect as upon land

TAClTURN SOLDIERS.

The Weakness OF wallenstein, tho Autng-
onist Of Gustavus Adolphus.
Men great in deeds are often taciturn.
Does their taciturnity arise from the
diffidence which fears lest words
should exceed deeds. or from convic-
ton that safety is promoted by silence?
Washington's reserve made him stiff,
formal and i'll ut ease in company, but
1t also prevented his plans from being
betrayed to an enemy, and the country
from being deceived by his promises.
William the Silent was frugal Of
words, because reserve that concealed
his designs, even from those acting
with him. was necessary to the in
dependence of the Netherlands.
A writer in Leisure Hour says that
the most dramatic OF silent men was
Wallenstein, the antagonist OF Gustavus
AdOlphus, and the commander of the
Emperor's armies in the Thirty Years.
war. He insisted that the deepest 81
lence should reign around him. His off,
GERS took care that no loud conversation
should disturb their General. They
knew that q chamberlain had been
hanged for waking him without orders,
and that an officer who would wear
clanking spurs in the commanders
presence had been secretly put to
death.
In the rooms OF his palace the serv-
ants glided as II phantoms, and dozen
sentinels moved around his tent charged
to secure the silence the General de-
manded. Chains were stretched across
the streets in order to guard him
against the disturbance of sounds.
Wallenstein's taciturnity which made
him shun speech, and his love of silence
that caused him to be irritated at the
slightest noise, were due to his consti-
tuti0nal temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from any
one, and he could not endure to be
gazed at, even when giving an order.
The soldiers, when he crossed the
camp, pretended not to SEQ him, know
ing that curious look would bring
them punishment. Youths Compan-
ion.

EDUCATING THE YOUNG.


why Private schools Should Ne Placed
Under Some Sort Of Control.
Our form Of government presup-
poses the existence Of personal inde-
pendence; II this is wanting, its place
can not be supplied by government
statutes; and II wanting to q consider.
able extent, democratic control must
give place to some other form OF gov
ernment. That is, men who are will
ing to become the slaves OF others can
not be made self-respecting freemen by
law. It is, however, necessary
less the system OF compulsory educa-
tion Is admitted to be a mistake--that
the state should insist on some stand
ard Of education. While It may not be
the province Of government to in.
form the parent that he shall send his
child to this school, or shall not send
it to that, It is the right OF the state,
unless compulsory education is to DO
abandoned, to Insist that the children
shall receive what is considered in the
public schools to be an adequate edu-
cation. II private school OF any kind,
religious or otherwise, turns out, year
after year, uninformed and misin-
formed graduates--that is, scholars
who are not up to the standard Of ex-
celence demanded of children Of their
age in the public schools-then It seems
to us that the state would be fully
justified in absolutely suppressing this
unsatisfactory institution. In order to
determine whether instruction given at
private school is or is not OF suit
able character, the scholars who attend
these schools should be compelled, from
time to time. to pass examination in
the same way that pupils at public
schools are compelled to show tho
progress they have made in their
studies. The state has the right to
insist upon this. and, what is more,
this or something akin to this is what
1t should insist upon. We believe that
parents should be permitted to select
which out OF large number of eff
cient schools they will have their chill
dren attend; but the child is helpless.
and even the parent has no right-and
this is where the state stands as guard
ian-to send his child to school
where it will waste years Of its life and
not acquire that information which is
necessary for its future welfare. There
is no reason why private schools,
either OF a select social or Of a relig'
ious character, should not give to their
pupils as thorough an education as the
public schools. Such Of them as dc
not do this should be suppressed, with
out the least scruple. as institutions
carried on under false pretenses. =

reply.

.Look at this piece Of ingram. You
see the threads are interwoven-across
and lengthwise. Now, third running
across we call pick Count tho
number Of picks in an inch. There
should be fourteen. That is the way
we make our standard II there are
one. two or three less than fourteen
you see the carpet is far more loosely
woven and less durable, though you
wouldn't know the difference on the
surface. An ingram, you know, con-
sists OF several thicknesses or layers OF
threads woven togcther-'ply,' as we
say--that is. two-ply carpet in two
thicknesses of threads and a three-ply
three. The three-ply is the carpet OF
our grandmothers. After having fallen
into disuse for many years 1t is coming
in again. No, l don't think the rage
for the antique has any thing to do
with it; people are beginning to be.

all.

the more expensive kinds, the Brussels
and the Wiltons, are woven on back
upon wires running crosswise; the
standard is ten to an inch. The wires
being drawn. semi-cylindrical tubes
of wool are left. This is the surface
Of the Brussels carpet. The Wiltons
differ in this way, that the tubes Of
wool are woven thicker and higher.
The wires here have knife attach.

drawn by machinery, split directly
through the top of the tiny tube. A
rich and plush-lilSe surface is thus
formed. Here you can get effects and
delicacy of tints and shades that yor

on the floor side by side a Wilton ant
