DALLAS LETTER.

[From Our Own Special Correspondent
DALLAS. Tex, Sept. 5, 1895.
Some members Of the city school
board recently recommended the
change in the school hours. Some
members think it better to give
more time at the noon recess and
change the hour OF letting out
from 2 p. m. to 4. The teachers
were all against the change. AS
yet nothing has been done and the
hour ia the same as last term.
School opens on the 18th. All pu-
pills have to show doctors certifi-
cate that they have been vaccipat-
ed before being allowed to enter
school.
Speaking of schools brings to
mind the trading, and stealing as
we'll, Of school books. There are
great many INSCRIPTIONS
pupils who do not hesitate
to dispose of their own and
other peoples books at dealers who
will give them a few cents for,
books that cost dollars. Sometimes
1t is reported to the parents by the
children who have sold their own
books, that they "are lost"
Oftentimes books thus bartered
are recognized at the stores. Some
steps should be taken to stop the
trade. The book dealers should
deal only with grown persons in
buying secondhand books. Your
correspondent knows Of one in
stance where a lady disposed OF
a great many secondhand books
books that were in good condition,
aud many OF them in use in the
public schools. They were sent
to the dealer; she relying on
his honor(?) to give her
a fair price for same. When
day Of, settlement came
the magnanimous book man had
allowed her q cents per volume
At that rate the pupils who carry
on the netarious work cannot get
very much for the books they dis
pose of.

She Broke into Society.

They had surprise out in LAGRANGE
the other evening, says the Chicago
Times, and a young woman accom-
plished the amazement with one leg,
thrust through the plaster ceiling Of the
school-house where LaGrange society
was holding that fine old form of inno-
cent church members entertainment
known as "district school," She did
not mean to introduce either new fea-
lures or unexpected anatomy into the
proceedings, but by common consent
she added greatly to the evenings en-
tertainment, more, perhaps, than the
ladies' and gentlemen who had all of
their physiology on the ground floor.
more or less covered, and, as it were,
esoteric, and left to the imagination.
What happened seems to have been
this: LAGRANGE society decided to hold
district school like they used to have
in the old times before the war. Mr..
Bunkholder was appointed schoolmas-
ter for the night and everybody who was
anybody in LAGRANGE was there. There
was Colonel Dan Mum and Judge Hor-
ton and President Horton, of the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois; G. j. Corey, Fred
Ellsworth, Of the Elgin Watch COM
pany; J. w. Ward, and, in fact, all of
the upper air and solar walk Of La
Grange, together with their sisters,
cousins and aunts, and relations by
marriage, such as wives and mothers
in-law. The district schooled until dis
trict schooling palled upon repetition,
and everybody was just beginning to
wish that be had not come, when sud-
denly they were glad they had. There
was crack in the ceiling and then a
crash, then a cloud Of plaster dust, then
muffied scream, and then distinctly
feminine limb. which kept coming
down and coming down, past the neat
garter, with rather high heel, past the
hosiery to the garter, until strong men
shuddered and even the bravest held
his breath for time. The leg wiggled
and displaced more plaster, which
served some of the inhuman observers
right, because it got into their eyes.
Then it began to disappear and finally
was lost into the ceiling again, back
into the enfoldipg mystery whence 1T
had come like doves wing in Owen
Khayyam, that beat its way from night
unto night by the poets fire.
After everybody had finished laugh
ing an explanation was sought and fur
nished by badly scared janitor. Some
of his young lady friends wanted to see
the show, so he had taken them up into
the unfloored attic, where they could
view it through the ventilator. The
particular young woman who had SO
nearly broken into LAGRANGE society
was Of stout build and Of an expert
mental bent of mind. He had told her
not to tread oD the laths between the
joists, but she needed him not, woe
worth the day, and If II had not been
have arrived below. No, she was not
hurt, and he would not tell her name.
She was good girl, and she bad al
ready gone home crying.

marry Miss Anna Gould does not be-
long to the no account family.

cut claim to have seen heaven the other

1t is all very well to say that the

The syndicate of bankers made the
most profitable bluff on record BY Of
fering to take gold bonds, which there
was no possibility of getting, at 8 per
cent, it got coin bonds at 81 per cent
and added 10000 900 to its profits.

selves drawn line of distinction be-
tween coin bonds and gold bonds, at the
expense of the former. ought not to OBJ

interprets coin to mean silver.

1t is creditable to congress that en-
ploying big lobby isn't certain
method of getting bill pissed. 1t
looks now as though the three bills sup
ported by the most expensive lobbies
which went to Washington during the
present session of congress would fail.
They are the railroad pooling bill, the
Nicaragua canal bill and the Pacific
railroads bill.
Sixteen million dollars is a great deal
of money, and there is no doubt that it
was absolutely given away in that sale
OF bonds to a foreign syndicate, for
President Cleveland must have known
when he made the contract as we'll as he
knows now that congress would never
authorize a gold bond. And what he
also must have known, or what he could
easily have learned, is that the issue Of
bonds could have been foated at home
at per cent.

magnitude according to the intensity Of

an experiecsDed woman of the world chs
other day II am inclined to agree with
recent writer when he says that 'educa-
tion Is important, but tact is everything.
What will make woman charming, in
telligeut companion is what she ought to
study and to acquire, in my opinion. The
literature OF the various countries, n clear
idea Of their various governments and
even their politics, art and music, past
and prcsent-and by that | mean not Eor
own puuy little efforts, although of course
she ought to develop what talents she has,
but thorough understanding of what has
been done by the great geniuscs OF the
world-a knowledge of history in it's rola-
tion to the worlds development; Ian
guages. composition and science of things
familiar
In short I'd have her study everything
to awaken general intelligence rather than
to have her devote much time to mathc-
MATES. dead languages and the 'ologies.
Then should say that conversation should
be encouraged and tactfully directed, that
a girl growing mentally and physically
should have all tho innocent amusement
possible fer gay, happy disposition Is u
blessing to every one and II girls are too
much secluded they are apt to become
dull Theaters also judiciously chosen,
are great helps to education. So are visits
to museums. exhibitions OF all kinds and
manufactures, with an intelligent com
panion It is subject of course that en-
larges itself indefinitely when one thinks OF
all that should be taught and how impos
sible it would be to include everything
that is desirable, but 1t will serve rs a sug
gestion perhaps, for I do feel that the or
binary school curriculum leaves much to
be desired New York Tribune.
