cerned the danger in case of fire Is
nearly all In the scare of becoming
excited. He tells them that the alarm
will be given them often when there
Is no fire or danger; but that whenever
they hear this alarm they should leave
the building as &Ipredlrected. His
method is as follows r|suppose that
plan and that half the pupils are in
the teacher nearest the platform in
the school hall runs to tlf piano or
harmonium and f%es' N3r seat. A
chord is struck, til. &iA(a1 for every
scholar to rise; anotBjr chord and
they turn in the propej direction. A
quickstep march Is struck UP and the
pupils from class rooms come out with
run, falling into their respective
places. Another chord is struck and
they all rise; a second signal and they
turn to so; again lively march, and
they start for their allotted places of
exit. AS two rows come together Mt
the eEd of an isle the pupils grasp
hands, two and two, and on they go.
Should they have to go down a flight
of stairs they help each other by hold
ing hands. Should one tumble or start
to fall the other will hold him. The
teachers leave the building with the
pupils, scattered along the lines.
Neither teachers nor pupils know
when the alarm is to be given, nor do
they know that it is for drill simply.
They will not know until they are ont
and safe. This drill is very valuable,
not only in training children how to
act in case Of fire, but as system Of
discipline.
The Repairing of Ocean Cables.
The repairing of ocean cables is
often ticklish work. The recognized
mode of procedure when a fault has
been discovered is for the repairing
steamer to proceed where the fault
has been located, put down a mark
buoy, let down her graphing hooks
and begin fishing for the cable. The
cable is not always there. 1t has a
way Of drifting out of it's line of posi-
ton, and cases are known in which it
has moved eleven miles from where it
was laid down. Last summer two re-
pairing ships were trying for four
was lying in deep water. The bill for
their failure was 100000, not count
ing the cost Of cable hacked to pieces
in the endeavor to recover 1t. The
difficulty of the task can be appre-
ciated when it is stated that the cable
was lying at depth of 1857 fathoms,
or nearly three miles. AS soon as
these ships were withdrawn the
'Minia," a ship of about half their
size, went to the spot and straightway
repaired the cable. The ssme ship has
a record of 40 repairs during the last
ten years without single failure. All
this time she was under the command
Of Capt. Trott, veteran submarine
telegraph man, so that the inference
may be fairly drawn that in cable re-
pairing, as in many other things, there
is great deal in knowing how.

man Suffrage" in Wyoming, but that is the proud place she occupies, and her story, and the story of the origin of wo- man suffrage in Wyoming, is an inter. esting one. Mrs Morris located in Wy oming ill 1867, and her kindness soon made her tie idol of the miners of South Pass, who declared that she was the "best man ill the camp" Her views of woman suffrage became we'll known. and she was so popular that every man ill South Pass would have given her the right to vote had be possessed the power
 One of them did give her the right He was W. H. Bright, an ex-colonel in the Confederate army who kept Q sa- loon in South Pass. When the territory of Wyoming was organized in 1888, he was elected to the first legislature He left his wifo and baby ip boarding house and went to Cheyenne, where he was elected president of the territorial council. During his absence the baby became i'll, and a doctors bill used up all Of Mrs. Bright's money. There were 100 miles of mountain road, piled high with snow, between her and her hus- band, and before needed funds could AS0S4I HSI SuS was buIueu O1E the boarding house. Mother Morris heard of the young wifes troubles and like good Samaritan gave the wife and baby a home
 When Colonel Bright heard of the kindly ministrations of Mother Morris and remembered her longing for the ballot, he entere3 upon vigorous wo- man suffrage campaign. On Nov. 27, 1869, he introduced a bill giving every woman in Wyoming the right to vote and hold office, He met with considera- blo ..osition, but used his great power a,. resident of the council to such good effect that the bill was passed and be- came n law. The next legislature re- pealed the law, but Governor J. A. Campbell vetoed the repeal measure. and when Wyoming became state the law stood and still stands on her statute books. Through Bright's influence Mother Morris was appointed a justice of tho peace, and it is said that she made an excellent dispenser of justice.
