FAUST COMING TO THE GRAND.
Those who attend the production OF
"Faust" at the Grand Opera House next
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, March
10, IA and 10, will witness a gorgeous
presentation. Mr.. John Griffith, a
young actor OF considerable power,
''Will play the Devil" imperSonating
Mephisto, Miss Lettie Allen, young
lady of great merit as Marguerite. The
scenic effects will be grand. This COM
pany carry all necessary electrical bat
teries to produce the famed electric
duel and the great Broker scene.
A GREAT SHOW.
Harris Boston Novelty Company COM
menced a three-night's engagement at
the Grand last night to a crowded
house. 1t is very refreshing to see a
clean performance without any objec-
tlonable features, and besides first
class one. II ever there was a show OF
this kind Harris Boston Novelty Com
pany comes up to the mark. The men,
bers are all artists, and line ones, too,
and the performances Of the Boston
troupe cannot be excelled. Their equal
has not appeared in this city so far. To
use strong phrase, the act done by
this troupe is out Of sight. This is Mr.
Harris first visit to Wheeling, and he
has established his reputation here by
giving good show. They appear again
this evening, give matinee Saturday
afternoon, aud close their engagement
with Saturday nights performance.
Good business is assured.
HoYT's "A HOLE IN THE GROUND"
Charles Hoyt enjoys stellar reputa-
ton as a constructor of farce comedy.
His pen is responsible for many bright,
pleasing skits, whose success has been
of a flattering order. OF the many things
written by him, his clever fatire on rail-
roads and drummers, entitled "a Hole
in the Ground" will be presented at the
Opera House, Saturday, March II, Is
considered one of the best. The subject
is one that permits Of humorous elabor-
alton without any attempt at burlesQue.

Ia introduction the superintendent, spoke
II "a" fine new >chool-h3use erected ON
the corner Of Whitney and French streets
and says that the erection Of such a beau
tiful and desirable building j. a matter for
cnngratulation. Referring TO books the
superintendent says the committee can
point with much pride to il record in The
purchase OF the same, The expense to the
city in this item during the year was but
sos % or - 3 cents per pupil.
The superintendent makes a comparison
20. In 1888 the committee reported there
were few competent teachers 10 town and
that they had to depend on neghborirg
toNn> for supply. OF the 30 employed
that year only twelve were residents OF
Auburn. Last year, report OF the school
committee shows that g. Of the 81 teachers
resided in Auburn while 43 Of the 40 were
educated in Auburn.

In his remarks relative to the use Of the
rod. Superintendent Stetson says in intro
duction, that the use of the rod is falling
into disuse means Of grace, is mat
ter for quite as much rejoicing on the part
Of the master as to the average boy. The
superintendent feels not a little grstiiied
with the fact that he has not found il
necessary to fog any pupil since the ~
ginning of the fall term Of 1892. His
qualification is somewhat enhanced by the
fact that he is still clear as TO what his
duty would be if the necessity presented
itself.
He does not think Ii wise or just to ex-
clude incorriglble pupils from schools
neither does he think ii wise for well be-
haved scholars to be associated with such
pupils. He believes the time is coming
when in all cities the size of Auburn,
there will be q special school for the in
corrigible or those who refuse to comply
voluntarily with the regulations Of the
school.
Under the heading Of p hyscsl culture the
superintendent says that the instruction
the past year has been very successful He
says that he notices marked improve
ment in the carriage of the pupils and that
they can sit, stand and walk with more
ease and grace than year ago and in
many instances the general health of the
pupils is improved. He says there have
been fewer absences from sickness for the
year than since his connection with the
schools and that part of the credit for
this should be given the instruction in
physical culture.

Weight Of the Atmosphere.

The atmosphere has weight as truly as
The height, or distance from the earth to
which it extends, is not definitely known.
II is variously estimated at from one hun
dred to i've hundred miles.
1t produces pressure upon every spot
equal to the weight of the whole column
above. This pressure amounts to about
fifteen pounds upon every square inch.
The pressure Is not simply upon the top
of an object, but upon the sides and under
meath as well. 1t is not like one solid body
resting upon another. The particles of
gases and liquids move about so freely
that the pressure upon any object contained
in them is evenly distributed in every di-
rection.
As the pressure OF the air is evenly bal
anced upon all sides, we are not conscious
of it,
Upon the outstretched hand there rests
column of air that would weigh two or
three hundred pounds. We are not con
scious of 1t, because there is an equivalent
pressure underneath the hand to sup
port 1t. When the pressure underneath
is removed by placing the hand up
on the receiver of an air pump. and ex-
haustlng the air, the pressure upon the top
becomes painful If the moistened palms
are rubbed closely together. so as partially
to remove the air, some force is required
to pull them apart. II the air is removed
from the mouth by expanding the lungs.
the pressure of air outside forces the
cheeks inward
The atmosphere near the earth is more
compressed and heavy than at some dis
lance above il, because there is more air
above to press down. There Is a marked
difference between the pressure and density

History Should Begin at Home.

Every city and town should have its
history written with some detail for us e
in the schools OF that town, and with
this should be included proper treat
ment of the geography of the region,
writes Winfield S. Nevins in the March
Ne'c England Magazine. in an article on
the importance Of the study of local his
tory. Such work has been done for
Dover, Massachusetts, and the book is
in use in that town to-day very success
fully. This local text book may be put
in the form of catechism, with ques-
tons and answers, or in the narrative
form. 1t should begin with a clear
statement Of the location of the place,
to be followed with something on the
topography, the geology and the botany !;
then the history of tue settlement OF
the town; the establishment of the
first church; the growth and municipal
history; notices of the important public
buildings military history; to be follow
ed by accounts of the industries, rail-
roads, principal highways, commerce :;
a brief sketch of the schools and other
educational institutions something
about the noted men and women who
were born or have lived in the town, or
have visited it, These topics need not
be arranged in the order here given,
but according to the plan best adapted
to the locality. This study. l believe,
will be found very helpful. 1t is one to
awaken instant interest 10 pupil and
teacher. The child loves to read and
talk about places and thugs with which
he is familiar, as we older people are
more interested in anything about
countries we have visited than about
those we have never seen. The local
history and geography are the easiest
for the child to grasp.

The Trout and the Women

lac umaL'S Column
The trout has had his innings in the
Massachusetts Legislature. The question
was at what time Of year be might be
eaten. The tame trout, artiticially raised.
and the wild trout Of the brook, each had
his case considered il the Senate and in
the House. They came in on successive
days, They were discussed over and over
They were voted up and voted down.
Should the tame front be eaten at the
same time Of year with the wild trout, or
might he be cooked earlier? This was
the grave question that consumed much
time, and it was decided that the tame
trout might be cooked earlier in the sea
son than the little wild trout, but they
must both be six inches long before tney
could legally be caught.
But when the question was whether half
the people of the State, the women who
are denied political rights, should have
even so much as municipal suffrage, the
House Of Representatives gave a part Of
one session to its discussion. and then
voted il down. This is history in Massa
chusetts in the year 1898. 1t Will be told
to the 1iscredit Of that legislative body
long. long after every member of it is
dead. But the fact is here gratefully re-
corded that several Representatives spoke
earnestly and well for equal rights and
for justice 10 women. The historian will
find their names recorded He will also
find recorded the names Of REPRESENTATIVES,
who said by their vote, II will have a
right to vote on everything that concerns
the city or town where | live, but my
mother and my sister shall have no such
right"
The mills Of God grind slowly, but they grind
exceeding small
Though with patience He stands waiting with
exactness grinds He all.

Gone the bridesmaids, gone the priest:

Dancing feet aud wrestlers' shout;

Half Of shame, half innocence.
