SHE CAUGHT THE SHIP.
A Chicago Girls Experience With an Ocean
Liner From Glasgow.

Chicago Girls Experience With an Ocean
Liner From Glasgow.
A Chicago girl was in Scotland She
mad made arrangements at the office of the
steamer IN Glasgow to telegraph her the
hour to be decided upon for the sailing of
The ship she intended to take Then she
petook herself to highland wilds in peace.
| phe received no telegram, but on the day
Jet for the sailing Of her steamer she ar
| lived IN Glasgow, and after leaving her
baggage at a hotel went to the steamers
! pffice to make inquiries She was told
there that the boat was even then leaving
| the wharf at Glasgow, but by taking train
20 Greenock she might overtake 1t at the
port. She rushed back to her hotel, saw
her baggage dashed upon cab, caught the
train for Greenock ana got there in time
70 see the ocean liner pulling splendidly
put to sea. She beokoned to man with a
small tug, declaring that she must catch
the steamer, and in a few minutes more
was steaming madly after the big ship.
| The captain stopped the liner at the
frantic gestures of appeal from the men on
the bug, and the Chicago girl was helped
over the side of the STEAMER, while the cap
tain stood by and made few remarks. A
little later the new passenger found herself
locked into her stateroom by the steward
sss She rang her bell, got her key from
the outside from the steward, who answer
ed the bell, and when the ships doctor
came down to see the passenger believed to
be insane he found the door locked on the
inside. Then the captain came, and at his
thunderous order the Chicago girl unlock
ed her stateroom door. The captains de-
meanor was not childhke nor bland and
his language was suited to sailors in a
storm. But the Chicago girl stood her
ground. She explained Through the blue
streaked air about the captain that she was
no more insane than he was, and that she
had a perfect right, in her opinion, to stop
an ocean liner.
She had engaged her passage on that
particular steamer. This was her own
stateroom. The company had broken
faith with her in not notifying her of the
hour of sailing, according to the express
agreement of the company's servants in
the Glasgow office. But she had not bro
ken faith with the company. She had agreed
to sail on that particular ship. She had
paid her passage weeks before She was
now sailing on it, the captain could not
deny that and 1t had cost her a good deal
extra to catch this steamer too That last
straw broke the back of the captains
anger, and his stern face melted into a
smile. He made friends with the Chicago
an and treated her with distinguished con-
sideration during all of the voyage to New
York. What she paid the man on the tug
the lady never knew. She declared that
she gave him whatever she had left of

School Gardens In Russia,

A very interesting fea ture of primary
education in Russia is the establishment
and rapid development Of small farms,
orchards and kitchen gardens in connec-
ton with many primary schools, especially
in the villages. The land for such model
gardens, or farms on a small scale, was
mostly obtained through free grants from
the village communes, and occasiona
from the neighboring landlords, wh
the expenses are covered by very small
money grants from the country and dis
trict councils (zemstvos). To take one
province in south Russia-namely, Ekat-
erinoslay-we see from the biennial report
just issued that not only has almost every
school and orchard and kitchen garden
for the use OF the schoolmaster, but that
nearly one-haf Of the schools in the prov
ince (2e7 out of 504) are already in possess
sion of small model kitchen gardens, or
chards, tree plantations or farms, at which
gardening, sylviculture and serioulture are
regularly taught. The teaching is mostly
given by the schoolmasters, who them
selves receive instruction in these branches
at courses voluntarily attended in the sum-
mer or occasionally by some practical spe-
cialist Of the neighborohod.
The province OF Ekaterinoslav being
mostly treeless, special attention is given
to tree plantations and next to silkworm
culture. The aggregate area of the 227
school farms or gardens attains $50 acres,
and they contained Ia 1896 III, 600 fruit
rees and aas, 300 planted forest trees,
learly $4,000 Of the forner and 40, 600 Of
he latter having been distributed free
mong the pupils during the same year
The money grants for these 227 gardens
we're very small--i. e., little over 800
pounds (e314). Besides, over 1000 bee
hives are kept, partly BY the scoholmasters
and partly by the children, and some
schools had vineyards in connection with
them This movement has widely spread
over different provinces of central Russia,
where the culture Of cereals dominates at
the school farms, while in Caucasia atten-
ton is especially given to silkworm Gull
ture and the culture of the vine.-Nature

manners of the house of commons have
changed within the lifetime of Mr.. Glad

oranges to suck, in an affectionate way
that resembled a monkey fondling bear. y
Fancy Mr.. Tommy Bowles plying Sir
Ellis Ashmead Bartlett with oranges dur

Chamberlain. No doubt it was only after
Sir Robert Peel reformed the tariff that
the oranges became cheap and vulgar

amuse themselves not only by sucking
oranges, but by cracking nuts London
