er can think Of him as grown up. This
saying seems to be borne out to q certain
extent at least by an amusing story told
In connection with the appointment Of
M. Edouard Lockroy as minister Of ma
rinesin France.
. When NJ. Lockroy was q small boy.
his father lived in a house in the street
in Paris which now bears the name Rue
Washington. His home was in the fifth
story 1T this building, and it appears
that he had certain. habits which render
ed him Objectionable to some Of the 9th
er residents Of the building, particularly
to the concierge, or woman who looked
out for the door. He found, for instance,
a more expeditions way Of coming down
from the fifth floor than by the stairs.
This excellent woman is still living.
When she heard that Edouard Lockroy
had become q minister, she threw up
her hands in astonishment and ex-
claimed /.

Yankee Slods Beat Swiss Coasters.
MONTANA.


The original "otobansk" has for
long remained sufficient for Cana
dian tobagganers, probably because
the pastime with them is hardly
more than the original means Of To-
comotion it provided for the Indians,
and competition in speed was never
q successful possibility. The prini-
tive Swiss coaster was destined to
far shorter supremacy when put to
the keen tests Of the racing that de.
veloped it. Men soon got all that
was possible in theway Of speed out
of sitting on q wooden framework
balanced upon fat iron bars. And
Mr.. L. P. Child Of New York sup
piled the want by producing in the
winter Of 1887 an American "clipper
sled," which beat every rider in
Davos out Of sight. whether native
OF imported. He rode it lying head
first on his side, steering with one
moccasined foot swinging out be-
hind, after the method familiar on
the ChuteS OF Montreal.
Owing to local prejudice and hab.
1t, this head first position had not
penetrated to Switzerland till long
after 1t had been we'll known else
where But even the introduction of
the new position was not so essen
tial an advance as was the long
spring runner, Of Mr. Child's ma
chine. by means Of which steering
was made far more accurate and
easy than with the old fat runner
of the "schlittli. Mr.. E. Cohen,
another American, by winning the
best race at st. Moritz, sitting on
one of the new clipper sleds, proved
conclusively the merits of the right
machine, even when it was ridden
in the wrong way, and showed that
on hard ice as we'll as on the snow
of the postroads the new machines
and methods were a great advance.

over his face which stupefied him.
He said when he came to. his watch
and money Were gone and he imlne-

alarm. When the matter was investi-

American Institute Of Instruction Will Again
Meet Amid the Inspiring Mountains.

The 66th annual convention of the
American Institute of instruction,
which is to be held at Bethlehem, n
II, July g. 10, II and 49, will offer one
OF the grandest opportunities for &
pleasant and instructive summer out
ing that the present vacation season
is likely to afford. The convention it
self will be one of the most important
educational gatherings of the year, and
it is hard to decide which win out
weigh in attractiveness-the pro-
Gramme itself or the scenic beauties of
the glorious temple of Nature in the
midst of which the meetings will be
held
AS to the former, many of the
speakers who will address the conven-
ton are specialists of national repute.
and they will discuss some of the
most pressing problems of the day in
education. The morning sessions will
be held in Cruft hall at Bethlehem,
and the evening sessions in the cosy
Casino at Maplewood. A male quar-
tette, composed of some of the best
known singers in the country, will
furnish music.
OF the outdoor attractions Of fa-
nous Bethlehem. itself, it is hardly
necessary to speak. No place in the

No trip could be a more pleasurablc
one, and the fact that it is made overthe
Boston & Maine railroad is a sufficient
guarantee that it will be a comfortable
one, physically. Special rates have
been made for the convention by both
the railroad and the hotels. and ali
persons interested in educational mat
ters, whether teachers or others, are
eligible to membership in the Institute
and to participation in these reduced
rates.
