The Pleasant and Instructive Game In
troduced by Boston schoOlma' am,
There is one woman in Boston who Is
determined that her sex shall not debar
her from putting a heavy mark on the
next generation. She is a school teacher,
and one of the few who do not under
value their position and its influence.
She has suffered dealin her time from the
bad manners prevalent in public places,
and every year she has about 80 boys and
girls between the ages of and in her
power between five and six hours five
days out of seven, and she thinks that il
will 60 hard if she does not do something
toward inculcating manners into them
and at the same time hitting the parents
a side slap which may not be without its
result.
This is one of her methoos; Once a
week half an afternoon is given to rec
reation, and she invents games for the
amusement and instruction of her class,
so that while they think they are playing
they are really learning something. One
Of these games, the one in fact which
the youngsters enjoy most, is called

classroom with its row of seats on either
side becomes the electric car. A boy is
chosen for motor man; this post is given
{ a boy who has been very good for the
week, and in a sim le way the teacher
makes the class understand how the cleo
tricity runs the car. Another boy is the
conductor, and they have paper checks
for fares. The other children are all pas
sengers. They are supposed to be busi-
ness men returning home to dinner-and
it is impressed upon them that they are
very tired and very anxious TO read their
papers-and women who have been shop
ping or to the matinees. One by one the
children signal the car. and the conduc-
tor rings his bell, the motor man turns
his crank, the passenger enters, walks
down the aisle, and takes a seat Finally
all seats are taken, and to point the play
the better most Of the boys enter first
and take the chairs. Then the girls board
the improvised car. The boys being i'm
pressed that they are very tired politely
rise, one by one, and civilly offer the girls
the seats, until every one is up but one
boy, who is known in the game as the
"5l-." Then the teacher enters. She
plays her own part, and the children are
supposed to be her old pupils, who are
glad to see her, and all the girls even are
anxious that she should take their seats,
and still the "pig, glanced at with sur
prise by all the children, sticks to his
seat Now, this game is very popular
with the class, but no one enjoys being
the pig"
The teacher says that she already notes
the great improvement which her pupils
show in manners. They are most anx-
ious to do civil things for one another,
"and, remarks the teacher, "do you not
think that they tell this story at home ?

How the Arizona Town Came 20 Get
It's Extraordinery Name.
When the late Mathew Arnold was in
this country he took exceptions, among
other things, TO the names of our cities.
So did Historian Froude They said we
went TO the classics and outraged history
for cognomens to designate dugouts and
"boOmn towns. Their cultured souls
were affected
But they never heard of Tombstone,
Arizona That is an American name.
The effete cast would never have thought
Of such an appropriation. How did it
come by the funereal title? This is ques-
tion that is asked almost every time the
town is mentioned and but few are able
to answer.
Conjectures, and they are many, are
put to rest under a tombstone, it might
be said, by the aid of Mr.. G. G. Warner,
of the Contention mine, Tombstone, who
agreed to relate to a reporter yesterday
how it received its Western name Mr..
Warner has been in Tombstone almost
since its inception and passed through
Denver yesterday on his return from
Canon City.
It's quite as simple and natural as the
name is strange and queer how it re-
ceived its christening, he said. "There
were two brothers-one, and probably
both, living yet--by the name Of Al. and
Ed. Scheflien. (You will observe that
there is a connection between the names
and the town-shuffling off the mortal
coil and then the Tombstone) Well, it's
not often that I perpetrate joke, but
this Colorado air makes fellow do many
strange things. But l am wandering.
The Schefliens were, of course, prospect
ors, and kept hanging about there for
some time without doing much. The
Apache Indians were around pretty thick.
Finally one day Ed. Scheflien prepared to
start out on a prospecting tour up the
gulch. His brother tried to persuade him
to abandon his prof 1t, pointing out that
the Indians would uevour him or that he
would get lost in the ravine but all to
no purpose. y st as he was about to
start he told his brother to look after a
piece of rock that he had found near the
camp.
ayes, will use it for your tomb
stone, said AL. sadly, and away went the
more go ahead brother.
"Time passed, but there were no It'd
ings of the foolhardy brother. Weeks
went and he did not put in an appear

proceeded to carve in rude letters in the
quartz rock an inscription which ran;

why women Do Not nr.rrr.

No doubt there are many women-very
grand women they. are, too--who, like
Miss Martineau, refuse to marry for
physical considerations-ill health; the
fear Of hereditary disease; the desire to
save the beloved husband that should
have been from unnecessary burdens.
All honor TO such women; they are the
silent martyrs. "'Tis better to have loved
and lost" etc. Such women are not
unhappy. But the sad reason why most
women do not marry is because they
have not had chance. When we read
that there are 10000 more unmarried
women than men in Massachusetts, alone,
what shall we say of the rest Of the
miscalled United States? Mrs. Wells
wittily describes some one who had had
shalt an offer. 1t is to be feared that
some most lovable women have not even
reached to that dreadful moment Of sus-
pense. 1t is the @Lost Chord" and
deeply to be deplored. 1t is true that in
many retired village some half dozen
very clever, well educated, good women
pass their lonely lives with no chance to
"better their condition. No wonder
that some of them make what their
families call very bad marriages. On
one point ] do a rec with Mrs. Wells,
when she refers to the horrible literature
with which our market is flooded, tHrns
ing life into a dissecting room. That,
indeed, may well frighten a susceptible
and nervous woman. 1t is a shocking
wrong and nuisance tina popular maya
zines should publish stories which are
read by young girls, enabling them, as
Mrs. Wells says, TO count "the various
kinds of kisses that mark the advent and
climax of a lovers regard. Love itself
is Just as subtle and unselfish as ever il
was; passion is as true and noble; but
their parasites are deadly" This Is a
splendid summing up. But l do not
agree that such reading makes a girl
"loye her mother more, or that she
"stays at home, growing more helpful,
and finding indefinite interests enough
to make single life very pleasant Mrs,
