This story of Rev. Lyman Beecher
father of Henry Ward Beecher, was told
originally by his son: The elder Beeeher
had been preaching one Sunday at Litch-
field, and, as he got in the carriage to 60
home, be remarked that he had never
preached such a poor sermon before.

Miss Gladstone, the daughter of the
English states man, has recently been de-
scribed as tall, ungraceful aud careless in
her dress. She brushes her hair straight
back, and the result is rather severe
look. Then, too, her mouth is large and
her forehead is low. But the one who
thus describes Miss Gladstone hastens to
add that when she feels like it the daugh-
ter of the great commoner develops into
a most brilliant talker.
Kate Field says that one of the most
difficult things to do in Washington is to
hear great speech. The best of them
are never announced in advance of their
delivery, and when notice is given that
favorite speaker will have the floor, it
is not safe to count on his securing it.
This was the case with the last great
speech made by ingalls,, which was begun
after midnight when only few patient
walters fingered in the galleries.

BRIDGEPORT. Oct. l3.-The spirit of gnllnntry
In the Board of Education Is strong. Some
months ago 1t was suggested that the cur
riculum Of the schools be extended to include
physical culture. This. of course. meant
merely n system OF mild calisthcnics. for the
schools have neither gymnasium nor arpli.
ances for the heavier physical exercises. Pres
ident Peter W. Wren OF tho Board OF Educn-
tion suggested that the matter he referred to
the Committee on Schools. This was done.
and it was decided by the committee that II
there was ANYTHING in tho world that the
Bridgeport schools lacked 1t was q system OF
physical culture. And then came the rub. Six
members OF the Board were in favor OF q
female teacher. four were in favor OF a male
teacher. and no one knows what the two alb
sent members will be in favor OF. That's how
the matter stands.
The Committee on Schools is composed Of
President Wren. DR.. f.. A. Rice. and David
Glavin. President Wren has the interests o:
the schools close to his heart. and whichever
way he voted it would have been for what he
thought to DO best. But DIR. Rice has q friend

One OF tho greatest geographers has said
that nations push forward to POSSESS new

Of the Polynesian Islands are south OF
the equator. where strong currents move
across tho ocean from the western world to.
