SLEEPING CAR sNoRERs.

IFTOm the Chicago POst)
One of the most difficult and delicate
offices which sleeping car conductor
has to perform is that of preserving a
reasonable degree of quiet without Civ
ing Offense TO those passengers who are
creating the annoyance. Sometimes
the guilty disturber of the peace is IN
conscious of the part which he is play
ing, but there are instances on record
which go to show that these noisy sleep
ers are not always ignorant of their
remarkable snoring powers as they
would appear to be-
Il had a passenger said an old con-
ductor, who kept the whole car awake
for half the night. Several times I was

The Queen of Greece is looked upon as

sorrow-the death of her eldest daughter

from Athens to be married was more
like a funeral than the preface to a brid-

A number of Kansas papers are re-
ferring to the talk of holding sol
diers' reunion at Topeka in unpleasant
terms. The following is only one OF
several items which have come to the
Journal office 1t is from the AtchisOn
Globe:
The soldiers reunion in Topeka viii

not belong to the G. A. r. 1t Will be a
sour grapes affair, and it is in bad
taste on the part Of the Topeka men
backing it. LeavenwOrth honestly Won
the reunion. Topeka should be salts
fed with the decision, and not get up
any side show attractions to call at
tentiOn from the big tent.
It is probable that many people in
Kansas will look on the matter in this
light. Topeka made so many friends
last year by her hospitable treatment
of her visitors that it will be hard for
any other city to break the record. This
year the city is going to invite all Kan
sas to her Fall Festival, and it is more
than likely we can have a larger at
tendance than ever, even without the
reunion. which of course we would have
been pleased to have.

BEAUTY IN A sCHooLHOUsE.
(From the May Atlantic.)


Especially in public building is this
ignorant treatment seen; for here ma

and vulgar precedent is followed to the
exclusion of many simple and excellent
models which, as has been said, were

iaI work If one enters one of the more
recent school houses today, one finds
great care and pains shown in new sys-
TENS of heating and ventila ton; the
rooms are lighted and warmed with in
creasing reference to health, comfort
and general safety but with these improve
ments is seldom found any recognition
of the prime fact that practical con-
venience is perfectly served only when
it is achieved beautifully. It must be
remembered that it is in these school
houses that the greater portion of the
children get their first impressions of
many things which consciously or I'M
consciously enter into life,-impressiOns
which create ideas, which control be-
formed, here that much of what may be
called home influence is felt; and here
accordingly, is it that all Surroundings
as truly as all teaching becomes part OF
the essential education. Very lately
there has been a warm sentiment called
forth in behalf of the Improvement of
these costly, sanitary, and yet cherries
and neglected school houses, and many
things have been done hastily to re
cal' period. Admirable gifts have been
made of photographs and bas-reliefs,
and much has been said of cultiVating
a patriotic spirit in our schools. This
shows an excellent intention, but one
must go deeper, must make beauty
