CENTRAL SCHOOL VISITED.
Members of Board OF Education OF
Their Tour.

Yesterday afternoon w. H. Hughes, D. A.
Spencer, Thomas w. Prosch and w j. Colkett
of the board of education, paid a visit to the
Central school. They went into all the rooms,
looked at the arrangements for heat and ventila-
ton, and also listened to the Rotations and
other exercises
Though the teachers had no notification to be
prepared for the visit, the rooms were uniformly
neat and attractive. The floors aud desks were
scrupuiously clean. On the walls were hung
pictures. Autographs Of distinguished authors
or scientists bright coIored prints of flowers or
bits of scenery, and specimens OF drawing by
the pupils. which served 10 relieve the baroness
OF the walls. On many o! the blackboards was
written memory gem, some quotation worth
remembering. These quotations are changed
from time 10 time, as the pupils become familiar
with them.
noticeable feature OF the rooms was the col
lection OF minerals, insects and botanical speci-
mems. In several Of the rooms there were small
cabinets containing excellent specimens of
minerals and ores; collections Of butterflies and
moths, various woods aud samples of feathers
and furs from different animals These spsei-
mems have bsca mostly contributed by the
pupils VINO take n deep interest ia the work of
collecting aud arranging them.
As rule the re-rular studies went on during
the visit OF the school directors. The pupils
showed remarkably ine discipline and paid very
little attention to the visitors, but continued at
their warS rs II no strangers were present.
In the room OF Miss Adelaide l. Pollock a
geography recitation was going on-not the
geography lesson that those who went to school
fifteen or tweuty years ago recall. The routine
OF names aud boundaries was broken By a dis
cuzsion OF the popularity of the countries-and
one littie girl told how the coral islands were
formed.
in Miss Lombard's room, that of the highest
grate, che closing exercises OF Friday afternoon
were being held. On the programme was a
lively letter supposed TO have been written
hons TO England by that Priscilla famous in
history whom Miles standish married. Pris-
ella was exhibiting a woman's instinct in this
letter By telling her friends about the counting.
Miss Chisholm was giving her little pupils
writing exercise, and the boys and girls were
making circles and curves, according to an
exercise plan uniform for all. Miss Wizards
well drilled scholars went through some OF the
physical training exercises and sang 'My
Country, It's of Thee" The boys and girls in
Miss Sadie +. Young's room were doing prob.
lems In arithmetic, and told how to calculate
the amount OF carpet necessary for a room or
the number of square yards of plastering
needed for the walls. Miss killan, Miss Anna
Young, Miss Title ]. Piper and Miss Orr, had
their pupils sing catches, go through physical
training exercises, read and write
The members OF the board watched the pupils
march out four abreast at the close of school
The drill is perfect and the whole building is
cleared in a very few minutes

Cars Jumped the Track.

Two short coal cars ON the Lake Shore track
became derailed yesterday morning about 2
O'clock at the foot OF Madison street, and ran
down the freboat slip. Captain MeAllep and
the rest of the crew on the freboat thought
from the noise that there was general land
slide, ana that all the buildings in the city were
being transferred into the bay in confusion
The captain jumped out of his bunk, and was
just about To pull out under fast bell when he
looked ont and took in the situation. The cars
ran about half way down the slip before they
STOPPED. Owing 10 the Tact that the cars are
light II was not very difficult TO get them back
up and place them on the track again.

-Four years ago was attacked with severe
pain in the spine, close to the small of my back.

my husband noticed that the plaster was puffed
up in the middle. Upon taking it of hole

plaster was put on with good sized hole in the

SNAKE POISON.
The Academy of Sciences Learns of q New
Antidote.

The Academy of Sciences Learns of New
Antidote.
Last night the Academy of Sciences met
and were given treat by two local doctors
in papers on antiquities peculiar to Arizona
ana on remedies for snake poison. DR..
darkness, President, was in the chair.
DR.. ID. Wooster read paper on antiqui-
ties in Arizona, eighty miles north of the
ella Rivers estuary and fifty miles from
the town of Casa Blanca. For miles, he said,
the country is strewn with pottery, and at
the place indicated by cumuli there is every
evidence of extensive defensive works and
buildings, all Of which are built of unhewn
powders. The work is evidently the result
OF post-Aztec times and prior to the Monte
zumas. DR.. Hardness suggested an expedi-
ton be sent to delve into the cumuli
DE- IL. b. Bayard read paper and let
ter from DR.. A. Mueller of Australia on the
new remedy" for snake poison. Dr. Muel-
Ter is its discoyerer and he in one example
set forth its workings. The case was that
OF boy lying nearly dead from bite by
brown snake. not unlike the rattIesnake.
He injected one-third of grain of
strychnia, and was soon rewarded by seeing
the color come to the lads face; then he
moved little. An injection of one-twelfth
of grain more, enough in all to Kill six
men, revived him so he wanted to turn over,
and, on being called. woke up and got up.
The boy seemed cured, and on the earnest
entreaties of the boys mother he allowed
him to depart, with the strict injunction to
the mother that lie should not be allowed to
sleep that night. But she slept and he
dropped into doZe. Coma ensueG and the
lad was found de ID the next morning.
Subsequent experiments have shown that
all that Is required is that the patient be
kept awake for about twenty-four hours.
The discoverer adds that in Australia treat
ment for snake poison by any other course
would be followed by prosecution for NAL
practice.

A MISER'S PHILOSOPHY.

1t Convinces His Guest That His Long
Journey Was Not in Vain.
A miser living in Kufa had heard that in
Bassora also there dwelt a miser, more
misery than himself. to whom he might 90
to school, aud from whom he might learn
much. He forthwith jOurneyed thither and
presented himself to the great master as a
humble beginner in the art of avarice, anx-
ious to learn, and under hin TO become a
student.
''Welcome!' % said the miser of BasSora

some purchases"
They went to the baker.
blast tho coed bFead?"
Good, indeed, my masters, and fresh and
soft as butter"
Mark this, fri end, said the man of Bas-
sora to to the one OF Kufa; ''butter Is com =
pared with bread as being the better of tn
two; as we can only consume a small GUAM
tity of that, it will also be the cheaper; an d
we shall therefore act more wisely, and
more savingly, too. in being satisfied with
butter"
They then went to the butter merchant,
and asked If he had good butter.
Good. indeed; and favory and fresh as
the finest olive OF" was the answer.
Mark this, also" said the host to his
guest; "oil is compared with the very best
butter and, therefore, by much, ought to be
preferred to the latter"
aThey went out 10 the oil-yenjer
Have you good Oil?"
'The very best quality; white and trans
parent as water was the reply.
Mark that, too" said the miser OF Bas-
sora to the one OF Kufa; by this rule wa
ter is the very best. Now, at home | have a
paIlful. and most Hospitality Herewith will
l entertain you"
Aud, indeed, ON their return nothing but
water did he place before his guest; because
they had learned that water was better than
oil, oil better than butter, butter better than
bread.
God be praisedl" said the miser of Kufa.
