Assaulted a ChambermaId.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. pa war
rant was sworn out yesterday after
noon for the arrest of j. S. Wilson,
the representative of Pittsburg, Pa,
house, on charge of assault preferred
against him by Letitia Omera, girl
of Is years, who is employed at one of
the hotels in this city. The girl was
in one of the upper rooms of the hotel
about o'clock washing the windows,
when she alleges that Wilson came in,
and, seizing her, stifled her cries, and
accomplished his purpose, after which
he locked her in the room, and, going
down stairs, made his escape, aban-
doning all of his baggage. The girl
was found some time later in serious
condition. The police force and the
sheriff and deputies have so far failed
to find Wilson, and fear that he has
escaped from the city. Considerable
excitement prevails, and strong talk
is INDUCED in.

BILE incident which befell a man Of his
company named Johnny Ross. 1t was
in India, at Lucknow, during the great
mutiny. Before falling in for the as
sault on the Begum's palace, Johnny
Ross and George Fuller, with some
others, had been playing cards in a shell
tered corner, and in some way quarrel
ed over the game. They were still ar
guing the point, when the signal was
given to fall in, and Fuller told Ross to
"shut up" At that moment a spent
ball struck Ross in the mouth and
knocked out four of his teeth. Johnny
thought it was Fuller who had struck
him, and at once returned the blow.
''You foolv' said Fuller 'It wasn't I
that struck you. Don't you know you've
got a bullet in your mouth?'
And so it was. Ross put his hand to
his lips and spat into it his four front
teeth and a bullet. He at once apollo

A Series of Readers


Shall it be one series of Readers? The
writer believes both from his personal
experience and his personal observa-
ton that every school board would
find it wise to adopt more than one set
Of Readers, especially in the primary
grades. The most rapid progress he has
ever witnessed in the process of learn
ing to read was made by children who
had access to three series of Readers
through the first three numbers of the
series. The children were thrown large
~ on their own resources after the first
difficulties had been overcome and from
that point on reading became pleas
Ure. In fact. after having completed
one first reader and part of another,
difficulties seemed to vanish of them
selves, for the children began to appre-
eiate their own power to learn the word
forms. But little attention was requir-
ed from the teacher, a devoted mother.
after one of the second readers had
been completed. and no attention what
ever was required after the children
had read the third reader. In each
case three readers of each grade, the
first the second and the third, were
placed in the hands of the children, and
no reader was perused twice by the
children unless the work was done vol

Why the Recent South African War
Cost the South African Co. Little.
The recent South African war cost
the South African company about
$575, 900, and the English are saying
that their "little wars" should be as
economically managed by the regular
army authorities. The Zulu war cost
about $23, 100000, and the expedition
now in progress against a mountain
tribe in Northern India is costing $780,
600 a week. Henry Labouchere, in
referring to the low cost of the Mata-
belle campaign, remarks with charac-
teriStic cautiouSnesS:

take credit to his company for the low

A great mistake is sometimes made
in ventilating cellars and milk houses.
The object of ventilation is to keep
the cellars cool and dry; but this OBJ
ject often fails of being accomplished
by a common mistake, and instead the
cellar is made both warm and damp.
A cool place should never be ventilated
unless the air admitted is cooler than
the air within, or is at least as cool as
that, or a very little warmer. The
warmer the air the more moisture it
holds in suspension. Necessarily, the
cooler the air the more this moisture
is condensed and precipitated. When
a cool cellar is aired on a warm day,
the entering air being in motion APP
pears cool, but as it fills the cellars, the
cooler air with which it becomes mixed
chil1s it, the moisture is condensed, and
dew is deposited on the cold walls and
may often be seen running down them
in streams. Then the cellar is damp
and soon becomes moldy. To avoid
this the windows should only be open
ed at night, and late-the last thing be-
fore retiring. There is no need to fear
that the night air is unhealtful-it is as
pure as the midday and is really drier.
The cool air enters the apartment dur
ing the night, and circulates through
it. The windows should be closed be-
fore sunrise in the morning, and kept
closed and shaded through the day
If the air of the cellar is damp, it may
be thoroughly dried by placing in il u
peck of fresh lime in an open box, and
the National Builder adds, a peck of
lime will absorb about seven pounds,
