EXCURSIONS FOR SCHOOLS.

A Form of Instruction Scarcely Yet Known
In This Country.
Among the methods of instruction
scarcely yet known in our country. but
long established in Germany, is the
school excursion. Indeed, while to the
uninitiated this measure may be regard.
ed as no less than revolutionary, it is
nevertheless true that excursions from
two to three weeks in duration were un-
dertaken by Salzmann with the pupils
of his school at Schnepfenthal, in Thur
ingia, when Washington was president
Of the United States Since the close Of
the last century the school excursion, in
one form or another, has been growing
in popularity in Germany, and today
it forms regular feature of perhaps the
majority of the elementary schools of
that country.
The school excursion offers the most
favorable opportunity for introducing
the child into many branches Of knowl-
edge, for the reason that, by means Of
outings, the pupil may be brought in
direct contact with various phases Of
nature and the works Of man. And in
deed the locality is exceptionally unfa-
vorable where an abundanceof material
may not be found for instructing the
child in geography, history and the
natural sciences. ..gae.t~s
In Germany this broad study Of the
environment is recognized as distinct
branch Of knowledge, known as die
heimathskunde (homeology), and as
such is included in the curriculum Of
the first three years of the elementary
schools. DR. j. NJ Rice in Forum.

THEIR WHIST PRINCIPLES.

Old Sarah Battle Was the Inspiration For
This Indiana Club.
An Indiana town-New Albany-has
awoman's whist club which is probably
unique in respect to title and code Of
rules and regulations. It was organized
in 1892 and christened 1.-THE Sarah
Battle Whist Club, !" in honor and ad.
miration Of genial and gentle Charles
Lambs Industrious gamester - ''Old
Sarah Battle {now with Cody, who,
next to her devotions, loved q good game
Of whist. - - a~As@
That dear. serious old lady, with "a
6ne. last century countenanoe''-you
remember-"a gentlewoman born
held very positive and incorporating
opinions concerning games. She hated
piquet cribbage, backgammon. chess
all these she styled contemptuously
''games Of chance" She dotted on the
pure aristooracy of whist" and (neat
little feminine foible) ''hearts was her
favorite suit.
The motto Of the Indiana club is the
celebrated wish Of good Mrs. Battle,
"a clear fire, clean hearth and the
rigor of the game" The following
"Card Of Principles is taken from the
essay which embodies her spirited opin-
ions:
Next to our devotions, to love good
game of whist.
To love thorough paced partner and
determined enemy.
To fight good fight, cut and thrust.
To hate favors-to take and give no
concessions.
Not to take out snuffboxes, snuff
candles or ring for servant in the mid
die Of game.
Not to introduce or connive at mis-
cellaneous conversation during the prog
ress of game.
Not to consider ''the noble occupa-
ton" in the light Of recreation.
To unbend the mind afterward over

Recording tho Losses.

In primitive times, when men went
into the fight, it is hardly supposable
that anything like q roster was kept no
army bulletin printed. Dead. Missing.
Wounded. /" According to tradition, the
method employed TO record the losses in
battle was simple Before going into the
fight every man took stone and de-
posted it Tin q heap. After the battle
the survivors took away each one q
stone. NothinRwas easier than to count
those stones which were uncalied for.

The Noted PAsisian Critics Own Story d
tho Encounter.
At this moment appears q gentleman
whom all Paris knows and almost all
Parisians adore-namely. Francisque
Saroey. Knowing himself to be among
friends, he talked freely. For half a
century nearly our great critic has held
the pen. ct first timidly, and now he
Yields 1t with unquestioned authority.
Like most Partisan celebrities, he was
born in the provinces, at Dourdan,
where his father kept school after the
fall Of the first Napoleon dissolved the
army in which the elder Sarcey had in
sisted on enlisting in spite Of his excess
i've nearsightedness, transmitted to his
son. There Sarcey's parents toiled with
varying fortunes, and thence Francisque
took his fight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints Of the late Jules
Janin, who also devoted his life to
dramatic criticism. He makes an idol of
the drama. He lives for his work. He re-
spectfully considers dramatic criticism
an art and not trade, and perhaps foi
that reason is the greatest critical au-
thority in France.
He told us Of his duel with Hector
Pessard, the musical critic and comic
opera compoeer. who IL . very charming
man, by the way Sarcey, in 1866,
wrote soathing attack on Girardin'a
paper, La Libefte. Emile de Girardin
objected on principle to duels, 80 the
editorial staff, considering their literary
style insulted ~ Saroey, drew lots as to
who would call him out and kill him II
possible. The lot fslf on Pessard Now,
Pessard and Sarcey were great friends.
but sc was necessary to obey the call Of
honor, 50 Pessard sent the challenge,
which Saroey accepted with dignity.
The adversaries took off their coats and
vests and faced each other, swords in
hand, when, loi the four seconds took to
squabbling over some detail The dis
pute was long and ferocious, and the
two adversaries fell into conversation,
sword in hand.
Quoth Pessard-I am frozen Would
you mind if I put on my coat?
Sarcey-A good idea. We can kill
each other later.
Pessard-Let me tell you, my dear
Sarcey, how greatly admire your tai
ent.
Sarcey-I can say the same to you.
but why are we going to kill each other?
Pessard-I don't quite know. It
seems you grossly insulted me, and if ]
do not succeed in killing you that you
must certainly slay me in expiration.
Sarcey (meditatively)-I do not re-
member having insulted you, but if you
say so suppose it is true.
In the meantime the four seconds
were quarreling furiously. One gentle
man was shaking his fist in his oppo-
nent's face and another was brandish-
ing his riding whip, whereupon Sarcey
suddenly burst out laughing and said:
Come, Pessard, let us separate our
seconds, and then, instead of cutting
each others Threats, we will go and
have some breakfast !"
Which was no sooner said than done,
and the two duelists have been fast
friends ever since. Paris Letter in

The Remarkable Second Reading OF an
Original Verse.
1.-TWO young women, for whom had
written several riddles and puzzle yarns,
having asked for something harder,
writes Christopher l. Ward Of Whining
ton, Del, II sent them the following orig
inal riddles
When you seek harder question
To unriddle, your suggestion,
lam sure, itself suggests its answer plain.
1t has puzzled many cages
OF many lands and ages,
But no doubt you will not tackle 1t In vain.
1t will be seen that by taking the first
letter of tho first line, the second Of the
next and SO on for five lines the word
woman is made. They deciphered this,
and to my unbounded establishment point
ed out to me the further fact, which they
had discovered, that the letters Immediate
ly following those which made the con-
cealed word formed the word 'hussy.' In
writing 1t intended it only to contain
woman and had no idea that I was hid
ing any other word in a similar manner.
When VIC consider the chances against
any word being accidentally formed in
such a way and the infinitely greater
chances against such word being an OPP
probrious synonym for the word inten-
tionally concealed, the fortuitous combi-
nation Of the letters forming the second
word must be regarded as a very extraor-
binary coincidence and one worthy Of note

itively declare that where the strength
is carefully kept up, and every possibility
of contagion removed by using "a splen-
did nutriment'' as doctors call lactated
food, the mere presence of high temper
allure can do no harm. For, at the bot
tom, cholera infantum is the result of a
condition of things that follows improp.
er feeding.
During hot weather the slightest signs
of indigestion or diarrhe should rece i've
immediate attention, and be met by a
close scrutiny of the diet. Babies and
young children who do not eat with rel
ish, who are weak and debiliated, "pick
up'' marvellously when they are put on
a diet of lactated food even for few
weeks, Lactated food is taxed with rel
ish when all other nutriment is refused.
Every element of pure mothers milk
is met in lactated food.
Keep baby upon lactated food and it
will escape cholera infantum and dan
gerous summer illness.
No household with little children in it
should feel safe during these hot days
and nights unless they know lactated
food is at hand for emergencies.
1t is the food upon which hundreds of
happy mothers have nourished their lit
tie ones. Says Mrs. H. E. Chapman of
Newton Centre, Mass, whose baby is
shown above, in letter to the makers
of this food:
81 wish to tell you about our baby.
We tried food at first that baby did
not seem to like, as he always left half
in his bottle. Finally he was taken very
sick and the doctor advised us to use
lactated food, which we did at once, and
from that time until this he has cried
for it every two hours, and although we
always give him one and one-half cup
fuls, he has never left any in his bottle.

DOWN IN A COAL MINE.

Lights and Shadows, Jests and Snarls
Among the Black Diamonds.
All at once, far ahead, shone a little
flame, blurred and difficult Of location. 1t
was tiny, indefinite thing, like wisp
light. We seemed to be looking at it
through great fog. Presently there were
two of them. They began to move to and
fro and dance before us.
After time we came upon two men
crouching where the roof Of the passage
came near to meeting the floor. If the
picture could have been brought to where
1t would have had the opposition and the
contrast Of the glorious summer time
earth, 1t would have been q grim and
CHASTITY thing. The garments of the men
were no more sable than their faces, and
when they turned their heads to regard
our tramping party their eyeballs and teeth
shone white as bleached bones. 1t was
like the grlnning Of two skulls there in
the shadows. The tiny lamps in their hats
made a trembling light that left weirdly
shrouded the movements Of their limbs
and bodies. We might have been con-
fronting terrible specters.
But they said, "Hello, JIM" to our
conductor. Their mouths expanded in
smiles-wide and startling smiles.
In a moment they turned again to their
work. When the lights Of our party re-
enforced their two lamps, we could see
that one was busily drilling into the coal

Yet one had to look closely to under

at each others threats. The vague illu-

snarling Of two wolves.
We came upon other little low rooted
chambers, each containing two men-a
''miner," who makes the blasts, and his
"laborer," who loads the coal upon the
cars and assists the miner generally. And
at each place there was this same effect of
strangely satanic smiles and eyeballs wild
