The president thought the poor
children attending private schools or
public schools should have hea. ID
certificates issued to them free Of
charge. He thought the private
schools were a public benefit and re
Ileved the government of the ex
penses OF maintaining correspond
ing number OF public schools. For
that reason such schools should not
be put to the further expense of pay
ing physicians fees In order that
children attending may be able to
comply with the requirements of
the law.
Mr. Reynolds said the majority OF
the pupils attending St. Louis Col
lege, did not or was not able to pay
tuition fees.
The president said that there were
other schools in the same position.
Dir. Ens thought all those who
went to the government physicians
should be examined for health Ger
tiicate free of charge and without
distinction.
Mr.. Lansing then moved that ali
school children presenting then
selves at any government physi
clans Office, to be examined for
health and vaccination certificates,
are entitled TO be examined for such
certificates without charge.
The motion was adopted unani-
mously.

Fashions Gold Tipped Shoes.

In this year Of 1898 gold, yellow, shin
ing, heartless metal, mother of murders
and temptress to terrible privations, the
yellow root of red evil, holds sway. In
the silver age we had combs and brush
es, buckles, toilet cases, picture frames
and other stuff cleaning with the paler
metal. It wasn't rich enough for the
blood of New York. Gold has not dis
placed it here in the metropolis, but tri-
umphantly faunts itself above it.
A little time ago the satin slipper with
silver flagree toe and heel tip was quite
good enough for any one. But it only
cost from $40 to $40. Society insisted
on something mor expensive, and now
New Yorkis swell set rest satisfied as
they poke their gold tipped toes from
beneath Worth afternoon ''c~reations."
The gold tipped shoes are only for house
wear. You don't see EN- On Broadway.
Their use is to make poor callers envi-
Gus, than which there can be no greater
happiness.
This IS but one instance. The men are
as bad or worse, for a pair of gold tipped
shoes at $3.50 are at least visible, and a
pair of $75 gold suspender buckles
haven't even that merit. The only use
for them is to show that one can stand
the pace.
The extravaganza of wealthy people
in small personal expenditures has grown
out of all proportion. Trifes and trink-
cts cost fortunes, good pictures by Amer
lean artists 60 begging, and authors Of
good books trim their cuffs. New York

Without another word he began to
press a series of kisses upon the mar

Her hesitation increased the enemy's
boldness, and when she thought of draw
ing away her hand he had already aban-
doned it for a skirmish where the kisses
closed her eyes.
Suddenly she escaped from her i'm

were fixed upon the brilliant diamond
she wore upon her little finger.

At these words, lightly uttered, the
masked man showed extraordinary emo
ton. Then, with reverence this time,
he kissed the lady's hand and disap-
peared.
When she entered the house, she found
the duke and Dom Maroufot at the chess
table. The duke was so absorbed that
he did not even turn his head as she came
into the room. She Thought that really
she was in the presence of q consummate
actor.
She leaned over his shoulder as he was
moving a knight and suddenly turned
pale-the duke had no ring on his finger!
The poor m%arquise passed a restless
night.
Toward morning she had scarcely
closed her eyes when she was awakened
by the sound Of gunshots, followed by
the noise Of galloping horses.
The duke at the head of his dragons
was returning to the chateau. He had
alighted and was taking off his pistols
when the m%arquise appeared.

Il brought down Gillou with a single
shot. We had hardly got outside the
park gate before the idiot came to us.
He threw himself between our horses
legs, so to speak. And for fear that |
might not recognize him he cried out:
I am Gillou! Kill mel
"He kneeled down 10 steps from me.
When he saw me aim my pistol at him,
he raised his hand in the air and held up
something brilliant; then he cried out
again, but I don't know what he said,
for the report of my pistol drowned his
voice.
"He fell, and one of my men picked
up the brilliant thing he held in his hand.
If you want it, here it is. It shall be
your part of the booty. But there is a
little blood on it."
The duke handed a beautiful diamond
to the marquise. Recognizing her ring,
she turned deathly pale, and suddenly
she read clearly in her heart. She had
never loved the duke, and now she de-
tested him.-From the French. Il.

French Imitation Pearls.

The best grade of French imitation
pearls cannot be distinguished from real
ones, even by the most expert jewellers,
unless the string is handled, when the
difference in weight becomes apparent,
the real pearl being heavier than an imi-
tation one.
An American lady who herself owned
valuable jewels once told me that she
and her husband were shown on one &C.
casion by her Partisan jeweler a cluster
of strings of pearls, half of which were
real and the other half imitation, and
they were requested to point out the
real ones. They both inspected the
pearls long and with the most minute
care, and finally indicated their choice.
The gentleman had indeed fixed upon a
string of genuine ones, but the lady,
though she continually wore and had
had in her possession for years a mag
nificent necklace of real pearls, forfeited
her claim for discrimination by picking
out one of the imitation ones.
The very finest of the French imita-
ton pearls are expensive, costing from
$40 to SIS a string. Oddly enough, the
longer they are kept the better they be-
come, as the passage of years lends a
yellow tinge to the wax, which causes
the pearls to look at once more lustrous
and more real. The pearls prepared for
embroideries, dress trimmings, ETC., are
merely small beads filled with wax and
lack the careful shaping, as we'll as the
inner coating of fish scale liquid that
make the pearls manufactured for neck
iaces and earrings so perfectly deceptive.

PASSION TIDE.
The young child Jesus had a garden

The young child Jesus had a garden
Full of roses rare and red,
And thrice q day he watered them
To make q garland for his head.
When they were full blown in the garden,
He called the Jewish children there,
And each did pluck himself a rose
Until they stripped the garden bare.
And, now. how will you make your garland,
For not a rose you path adorns?''
"But you forget" he answered them,
THAT you have left me still the thorns."
They took the thorns and made a garland
And placed it On his shining head.
And where the roses should have shown
Were little drops of blood instead.

A Fight with A Maniac.

LANCASTER, April l1.-Under-
keeper II. II. Moore, of the county
prison, had q desperate struggle this
morning with an insane prisoner who
tried to kill him. j. G. Van Nostran,
formerly of Wilkes. Barre, drum.
mer, who was committed to Jail to
await trial on a charge Of embezzle-
ment, became insane recently and a
few days ago the court ordered his
removal to the Norristown ASYLUM.
This morning Moore entered the cell
to get Van Nostran ready for re-
moval, and the latter asked the keeper
to pack his valise.
While thus engaged the madman
jumped on Moore and struck him a
stunning blow. The keeper was
knocked on his back and managed TO
give the crazy man a terrific kick in
the stomach, when the latter at
tempted to follow up the advantage
of the first blow, and Moore thus
gained enough time to get up. Van
Nostran assaulted him again, and al
though the keeper is a powerful man,
it was only after long and desper-
ate struggle that he managed to dis.
engage himself and escape from the
cell.
He returned with two deputy
sheriffs, and as he stepped into the
cell was struck a fearful blow over
the head with a broomstick. The
madman was then quickly over
powered and taken to Norristown.

A Word to the Boys.


A Word to the BOys.
If we are to have drunkards in the
future some of them are to come
from the boys who will read this.
Well, here is a plan that is just as
sure to save you from such fate as
the sun is to rise tomorrow. 1t
never failed, it never will fail, and
it is worth knowing. Never touch
liquor in any form. This is the
plan, and it is worth putting into
practice. You don't drink now, and
it seems as if you never would.
But your temptation will come, and
it will probably come this way.
You will find yourself sometime
with number of companions, and
they will have a bottle of wine on
the table. They will drink and offer
it to you. They will think it a
manly practice, and very likely they
will look upon you as a milksop if
you don't indulge with them. Then
what will you do /? will you say,
''No, no; none of that stuff for me! ~
Or will you take the glass, with your
common sense protesting and your
conscience making the whole draft
bitter, and then go off with a hot
head and skulking soul that at once
begins to make apologies for itself,
and will keep doing so all its life {?
Boys, do not become drunkards.

Columbian Liberty Boil.
It has been determined to create
. Columbian Liberty Bell to be
placed by the lovers of liberty and
peace in the most appropriate place
in the coming Worlds Exhibition at
Chicago. After the close of the
Exhibition this bell will pass from
place to place throughout the world
a. = missionery of freedom, coming
first to the capital Of the nation
under the care of the society.
Then il will 60 to Bunker Hill or
Liberty Island, to the battle field of
New Orleans (1sl2), to San Fran
cisco, to the place where any great
patriotic celebration is being held,
until 1900, when it will be sent to
the next Worlds Exhibition, which
takes place at Paris, France. There
it will continue until that Exhibition
closes.
When not in use in other places,
it will return to Washington under
tho care OF the Daughters Of the
American Revolution. Washington
will tits home, and from there it
will journey from place to place,
fulfilling ito mission throughout the
world.
The following is the proposed use
ofthe bell: It shall ring at sunrise
AID sunset; At nine o'clock in the
morning on the anniversaries Of the
days on which great events have oc-
cured marking the worlds progress
toward liberty; At twelve o'clock on
the birthdays Of the acreators of
liberty" and at four o'clock it will
toll on the anniversaries OF their
death. ct will always ring at nine
O'Clock on October 1lth, in recog-
milton Of the organization on that
day Of the Daughters of the Ameri.
can Revolution3 By this means the
boil will keep continually in the
minds OF those within reach of it's
sound, the memories of tho men and
who have led in the work for liberty
and peace, and the anniversaries of
:. the great events resulting from their
efforts.
