A School Book Exchanpe.

There has been established in Atlanta
what the MORNING NEWS advocated In con-
nection with the public schools of this city,
viz, school book exchange. By means Of
the exchange school children can dispose of
their school books when they have no fur
Their use for them, and they can obtain
Others for much less than the original cost.
School books are quite an item of expense
in the education Of children. And the
books are not much the worse for wear
when the first owners are through with
them if they have been handled with a
reasonable amount Of care. But there is no
market for them unless there is a place
where they can be exchanged for other
books, and yet they are of no benefit TO the
children who are through with them.
There may be reasons why an exchange
is not helpful institution, but they are not
so apparent as to be quickly recognized by
the average observer. The ricn, of course,
do not care much what becomes OF the
schoolbooks of their children which are no
longer useful They are able to buy new
books as often as their children need them.
The poor. however, are forced to notice
such minor matters. Money is so hard to
get that the cost Of schoolbooks for two or
three children is a matter of very consider
able Importance to them. To the poor.
therefore. q sohoolbook exchange would be
a most desirable institution. And the rich
would not hesitate to avail themselves of
its benefits.
Why should steps not be taken at once to
establish an exchange in this city 1t would
certainly be appreciated. And in view of
the good which 1t would do it seems little
remarkable that the school commissioners
have not long before this given it serious
attention. Perhaps they will do so now
that the exchange idea has borne fruit else
where

"old Abe" Helped His soldiers.

In the latter part Of 1869 the Que Hundr ed
and FIFTY seventh Pennsylvania volunteers were
stationed at Washington, preparatory to
moving toward Richmond, says the Detroit
Free Press. For some unknown reason their
salaries had been delayed for two months, and
the boys found themselves strapped" pretty
closely for money.
Among the members of company D was a
wild, harum scarum sort of fellow, hailing
from Lancaster county. For about a week he
had been without an ounce of tobacco. From
everybody he questioned he received the same
answer: Haven't an ounce. Money all went a
month ago"
The poor fellow endured the agony for
awhile, but finally, becoming desperate. he got
leave of absence from camp one morning. and
started of up street in the direction of the
white house. Arriving there he stopped for
awhile looking over the fence into the grounds
surrounding the executive mansion, and pres
emily caught sight of the President walking
along the path in front of the house. Just then
a bright idea struck him. Mastering up his
courage he stalkSd into the garden and pres
emily reared the President.
Good morning, Mr.. President" he said
touching his cap.
Good morning, my man." replied ''Old
Abe" what can do for you ?"
The soldier hesitated for awhile, but noticing
the Presidents kindly LOOK finally said:
THE fact OF the matter is, Mr.. President, we
haven't had any money for two months now,
and every one of US are dead broke and I'm
almost dead for a chew of tobacco
A smile lit up the face of the great war Presi.
dent as be received this information, and then
his hand went down into his pocket. Drawing
forth q silver dollar, he handed it to the
broken" volunteer, and said:
1T shant be said that one of my soldiers died
for the want of some tobacco. l need his
services too much for that. Buy some tobacco
with this, and think by the time it is gone you
will have received all the money that is due
you"
With gratified thank you, Mr. President. -
the soldier lifted his cap and passed quickly out
of the grounds. The back salary was paid
shortly after the occurrence.

Why He Refused a Room.

Leo Mandelbaum registered at the Richelieu
from Germany, and was assigned TO room 10,
says the ChiCa 20 Herald. He had been in the
room but a few minutes when he came rushing
into the Office and asked for another room al
once.
Think I'd sleep in room 1872" ne explained.
I'D sleep in tie park first.
That Inflated number was never so dreaded
in Germany as it is to-day. In most of the
hotels there it has been changed TO some other
number. Won Moltke's death is attributed by
some TO that number.
THE Field Marshal could never retire with
out his game Of whist. When he was before
Sedan he had his rubber every night. The
evening before his death be sat own to play as
usual, and his luck was phenomenal
While matched against a skilful player he
won trick after trick The last game he scoopej
the entire thirteen tricks. Then he retired.
The fact that he died soon after taking
thirteen tricks of whist has caused horror with
all the supersthious people of Germany. and
assure you they are m any.
I'm not so bad IS that, but I will not SLEEP
In room Is. and especially so as to-day is
Friday"
He was changed to 81 and his old room renum-
bered. There is no IL in the hotel now.

The junta which now have control Of
Chilean affairs are exceedingly anxious to
secure recognition from this government
As Balmaceda's government has disap-
peared, and the junta are in control of
affairs, it looks as if they would have to be
recognized as the government Of Chile And
the junta are going TO make the situation
decidedly unpleasant for those of the lead
ers of the Balmaceda party who helped to
bring about the war. But it is to be hoped
that nothing prompted by revenge will be
done. The aim should be to alIay bad feel

Mr.. Blowitz, the Paris correspondent of
the London Times, tells rather remarka-
BILE story relative to the visit of the Empress
Frederick, the kaiser's mother, to Paris
1t is that the kai Ter had determined to in~
wade France before the republic could arm
if any rudeness had been offered to the
empress during her visit. Every prepara-
ton was complete for the instant move
ment of the German army. All that would
have been necessary was the giving of the
order for the army to move forward But
no Paris gamin threw a stone at the en-
press, and hence a bloody war was averted
according to Mr.. Blowltz.

An amusing instance of the contagion of ex-
ample has recently been afforded by a case in
the Berlin police court reports, says the Pail
Mall Budget
The outrage on the Turkish railway and the
stories of brigands which have lately filled our
newspapers seem to have acted on the imagi-
nation Of two boys named Oscar Scheffner and
George May.
They determined to become bandits and they
prevailed on several of their schoolfellows to
Join them
The average age of the band was thirteen
They inauRurated their defiance of the law by
boldly playing truant, and then they took ref
uge in the wilds OF the Grunewad where in
true brigand fashion, they hid themselves.
After night passed in this fashion they felt
the panRs of hunger, and consequently they
sailed forth at early hour md seized the
milk cans and baskets of new rolls which had
been left at the doors of the neighboring villas.
This, however, they thought was scarcely
heroic, and the next step was to garrote an old
gentleman who was taking morning stroll in
the park.
Somehow or other the Berlin police got wind
of the affair, and the juvenile bandits were
seized. They are now languishing in grewsome
dungeons, where, by means of cane admins
tered at intervals, it is hoped that they may be
made aware of the historic fact that in North
ern Europe brigandage is an anachronism.
