A COSMOPOLITAN SCHOOL.
A Queer dixtufe of Children in One of
New York,s Biz School Buildings.

A Queer nIixtufN of Children in One of
New York's Big School Buildings.
Until about year ago the principal
of ward school No. 23, New York, did
not realize what queer lot of pupils he
had, although he had sometimes laughed
over the strange collection of names
upon the rolls. A year ago he took a
census and carefully traced out the
exact part of the earth from which the
parents of each of his pupils had come.
He found that there were in his school
no less than twenty-seven different ma
tionalities, speaking about twenty-five
languages other than English and its
dialects. He found that of these sixteen
were in the primary department alone
So not long afterward he arranged a
novel feature to one of the school enter
tainments AT certain place in the
programme each child arose, holding
in his or her hands two flags. One was
the American flag, theaother the flag of
the nation from which the father had
come. The visitors to the school were
astonished. They recognized half a
dozen flags well known as the banners
of European nations-Italian, German,
| Spanish, French, Swiss and the like.
| Then they saw nearly dozen others,
recognizable fro1ntheir shapes and colors
and designs as the banners of barbaric
or semibarbaric countries, knewn to us
in a vague way as heathen.
When these children, none being un-
der five years of age, first come to this
school they are foreigners to the very
core. They speak the language of their
fathers, and perhaps have never even
heard the sound Of an English word.
They are Of the country from which
their parents came both ig customs and
ideas. Their clothing alone bears the
stamp of America, and THAT so out of &C.
cord with their faces and expressions
that they seem ill at ease, and even more
poorly clad than they really are. They
enter the. primary department. And
here it may be said that, although the
youngest are five years old, the ages oi
many extend upward toward eighteen
/ and twenty years.
4 1t is the business of Miss Rose O'NeiI
and her seven assistants to teach these
children the English language, and ther
to make American children out of them
Go into the school at the beginning Of
the school year, and you will think the
task hopeless, impossible. Come bacl
at the end of six months, and if yor
close your eyes and listen to the reading
exercises you will not be able to dis
tinguish Chinese child or Arab child ol
Tunisian child from the few pure blood
ed Americans who form the curiositie
of the school. Then you will wonder
how the miracle has been performed

A HsaI Nice Girl,

"Why, my darling" exclaimed Mrs
Worldly to her eighteen-y -year-old rose
bud Maud, ''why in the name of good
ness can you want to marry that impe-
cunious young fellow Harry Juventus.
when there is that charming Sir Croesus
;Senectus, a man of dignified maturity
and countless wealth, who is dying to
make you Mrs. Senectus, and who
would place ny ewel in magnificent
setting?"
sHow can you; talk SO, mammaT' re-
piled Maud, look ing down and blushing
few lines of solid nonpareil. "It is
true that Sir Gre esus is rich and Harry
is not; but then Harry is young and Sir
Cresus is old. Now, Harry is young
and he can acq uire wealth; while Sir
Crnsus is rich, but he cannot acquire
youth. Do YOU catch on, mamma, as

That depends, madam, upon how
you feel. If you're suffering from
functional disturbances, irregulari-
ties or weaknesses, you're sure to
"look it." And DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is the remedy.
1t builds up and invigorates the
system, regulates and promotes the
proper functions, and restores health
and strength. It's legitimate
medicine, not beverage purely
vegetable, perfectly harmless, and
made especially for woman's needs.
In the cure of all "female COM
plaints," it's guaranteed to give sat
isfaction, or the money is refunded.
No other medicine for women is
sold so. Think of that, when the
dealer says something else (which
pays him better) is "just as good"
/" Times have changed" So have
methods. The modern improve
ments in pills are DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. They help Nature, in.
stead of fighting with her. Sick

of the liver, stomach and bowels
are prevented, relieved, and cured

A Peculiar Case.

The greater part of FRIDAY and
Saturday were taken up in the Cir
cult Court with the case of the State
VS.. Joseph Frantz for assault and
battery upon Miss Alice Custer,
daughter of Emanuel Custer, on
the second day of August, 1891
On the day in question Mr.. Frantz,
accompanied by his wife, was driv-
ing along the public road going to
Friendsville. At point where the
roadbed was very narrow they met
Miss Custer on horseback.
The State claimed that Frantz
wilfully endorsed Miss Custer and
thereby committed an aggravated
assault. The defense claimed that
the matter was due to the careless
ness of Miss Custor or was purely
accidental.
The case was tried before the
Court and Judge Hoffman in de-
hTering the opinion said it was the
most remarkable criminal case that
had ever come before him, that he
had never read of such a case in the
books, nor had he ever heard of one
hike it. His Honor reviewed the
case infinitely in an opinion of one
hours length and rendered verdict
of not guilty.

Road Reform, IN Pennsylvania.

Farmers and business men of
Blair county, says the York (Pa.)
Gazette, arc interesting themselves
in the road question, and they have
organized an association which is
to urge upon the next Legislature
the necessity of passing a road bill
that would be acceptable to the
people. To the farmers especially
this is a question of the greatest
Importance. They are the ones
good or bad roads affect the most,
and it would be clearly to their
profit to become interested in the
question with a view of accomplish
ing its solution. Even and clean
roads mean to the farmer more
money in his pockets. In the first
place, where the roads are smooth
and hard, less horses are needed,
and it is correctly estimated that
where farmer now is compelled to
use three horses to transport his
products or purchases on our rough,
muddy and stony roads only one
horse would be required to haul the
same weight on smooth and good
roads. Lighter wagons could be
used, and the absence of the present
eXsspcraEng distinctions in the
country highways would render
hauling an easy matter. In addi-
ton TO these advantages there would
be marked and profitable saving
of time, which in the summer
months especially is something
equivalent to money.
