MI William Russell Morse, professor
of English OF the Latin school OF Boston,
is now in Washington with a number of
his boys on an outing This seat of learn
ing was organized in 1635, one year before
Harvard University, and is consequently
the oldest school in the country. Mr..
Morse believes that travel broadens the
mind and formulates the character of
youth, and each year takes a number of
the Latin school boys abroad. Last year
he conducted his class through Cont
mental Europe, as far south as Naples
covering 5000 miles, including his At
lantic voyage. At the Regent last night
he said:
THE Latin School of Boston has grad
uated some of the most noted men in the
history of our age, including Benz Frank
lin, Charles Sumner. William NJ. Evarts,
and many others whom 1 do not think
of during my hurried talk. We have also
graduated the entire Democratic New
England delegation now in Congress- viz,
Hon. John F. Fitzgerald, Ninth Massa-
chusetts district.
''Our public school system we believe
to be one of the best in the United States
A course of manual training has been in
corporated in our system, and our pupils
must show their ability TO earn a living
by manual labor before being graduated

Saves the Life of a Woman Who
Wanted TO Die.

New York, April 9.-Citizen George
Francis Train told in Police court yester-
day how he had saved a young woman
from committing suicide. He was en-
ioying a sun bath in Madison Square,
when he observed the woman swallow
ing the contents of a bottle.
My dear madam he said, making
toward her and clasping his hands to
gether as is his custom. you seem 70 be
in trouble
"Oh, please let me die This is
trouble from which theEa is no relief on
EARTH
Citizen Train gently took the bottle out
of the woman's hand. 1t was labeled
poison"
''CalI an ambulance, quick" he shout
ed to Policeman McInnery.
The woman started To her feet and
grasped the Citizens hand.
"Oh, please let me die she iIuplOred
him. Train held her by the wrist until
the arrival of an ambulance. Then he
resumed his bench and bis book on recent
scientific discoveries.

LAURADAs BOND REFUSED.

Government May Sell the FfIibuster-
ing steamer to Collect Fines.
wilmiD gton, Del, April 9.-JOhn D. Hart,
owner of the steamer Laurada, came here
yesterday and applied to Commissioner
Redmond 5. Smith for the release OF the
steamer. The commissioner refused to
release the steamer, on the ground that
he did not consider the sureties offered by
Mfr. Hart strong enough.
It is understood that two local Cuban
sympathizers offered to go on Mr.. Harris
bond. When the commissioner refused to
accept his sureties Mr. Hart declared that
the only course open 20 the Government TO
collect the fine OF $500 imposed on the
steamer is to sell the steamer, aud Ii the
Government does this, he said, he viii
enter suit against 1t Immediately. The
Laurada is still in the custody Of the COZ
lector OF customs.

Count G. Vandalin MniszeCh is Polish
nobleman, who has left his native land to
engage in the game of American politics.
He made speeches and performed mission
airy work among the foreign masses, prin-
cipally in Pennsylvania and Delaware, for
the Republican party and gold last fall
He is a candidate for a consular office,
and at the Arlington yesterday said:
Prior to the last election the Repubii-
can party never secured many of the for
eign votes 1t had a following of the
Scandinavian and Finnish people, but the
Democrats polled almost all Of the Bohe-
milan, Polish, French, Hungarian and
other foreign votes. The Polish people
are not impUlsive, like the Americans;
they must be taught and argued with. So
a Polish information bureau was organ
lied in New York We who were con-
nected with it performed good service,
and now think we should have some rec
ognition at the hands of the Republican
party; but we cannot get it l am sure If
they continue to play with our people in
this way, they will vote en- mass for
Democracy next time. The Republicans
should do something for their workers
and continue to work among the people
Mark Hanna said he would have an infor-
nation bureau in operation after the new
year in Washington. They have now there
only Major Dick, typewriter and
newspaper man, who gives out items TO
the small papers. They must also do
something for the workingman. A Polish
man came TO me in Wilmington, Del,
some time ago and said: Count, you told
me q lie; you said if l voted the Republic
can ticket, my wages would be higher.
Then l received S1.25 a day; now re-
ceive 81, and expect soon to be reduced to
IS cents. This man was in the car
shops
The Prince has a great admiration for
Bismarck, and thinks his only mistake
was in granting universal suffrage after
the Franco Prussian war, as the people
were not in condition to properly exer-
else their rig hts, after hundreds of
years of slavery"

The Vitality Of Creative Power.
John Clork Ridpath, in the July Arena

John Clork Ridpath, in the July Arena.
Measured by the test or creative
power and the persistency OF spiritual
purpose, how variable is the duration
of human life Sometimes the crea-
tive power appears in early youth but
when that happens there is generally
an early surcease. Sometimes the power
comes late and remains long. Some
times it flashes forth in the early morn
ing and remains in the after twilight.
Estimated by years this productive
power (Which goes by the name OF
genius) sometimes reaches only to
few score moons. Sometimes it reaches
to q score OF years. Sometimes, though
rarely, it extends to three-score years or
more.
Thomas Chatterton went to suicides
grave in the Potter's Field when he was
only seventeen years, nine months, and
tour days of age. know OF no other
case of SO great precocity; it is beyond
belief. His mind had been productive
for about three years. Bryon's produc-
tive period covered sixteen years
more. Pope began at twelve and end
ed at fifty-six.
In our own age, Tennyson has done
we'll. Making an early effort to begin,
he, like Dryden, did not really reach
the creative epoch until he was fully
thirty. His creative period covers
about fifty-nine years. Itextends from
ga Dream of Fair Women" in 1888,
to "Crossing the Bar" in 1892.
The best example, however, in the
history of the human mind, is that Of
William Cullen Bryant that is, Bryant
has real creations that lie further apart
in time than can be paralleled, 80 far
as I know, in the case of any other Of
the sons of men. The date of "Thana-
topsis" Is not precisely known. 1t be-
longs, however, to the years 1812-13
Bryant was thenleighteen-in his nine
teenth year. Add to 1872 slxty-four
years and we have 1876, the date of the
publication OF the "Flood of Years. I"
The two poems in question lie apart in
production by the space of fully three
score and four years. 1t is marvel !!
And why not?
To him who in the love of nature holds
Communion with her visible forms,
why should not life, productive life,
enthusiastic fruitful lie, be extended
until its last acts of creation, shot
through with the sunshine of expert
ence and wisdom, shall flash in great
bars of haze and glory over the lands
cape of the twilight days?

Don't Eat Eggs When Angry.
st. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic.
s'Never eat eggs while you are angry"
said A. e. Stewart, of Boston. "My
attention was first called to this strange
fact by the tragic and sudden death of
a lady acquaintance in Boston several
years ago. I accepted her husbands
invitation to dine with them. Just as
we were going in to dinner a servant
did something that caused the lady to
fly into terrible rage. She had been
irritable from some minor complaint
for several days, and her husband calm
ed her ruff1ed feelings sufficiently for
the dinner to be eaten in good temper.
I noticed that she ate an unusually
large amount of soft scrambled eggs.
Fifteen minutes after we left the din
ing room she was q corpse. She died
in frigbtful convulsions before the
nearest doctor reached the house. The
doctor was unable to ascribe the cause.
A few months later / was visiting a
brother in Connecticut, and one of his
sons died under similar circumstances.
Before breakfast one morning the boy,
who was about Is years old, had a fight
with neighbours boy. Before his
anger had subsidized my nephew was
called to breakfast. He ate four soft
boiled eggs. Had known as much
then as I do now I would have prevent
ed it. In less than half hour after
breakfast the boy died with exactly the
same symptoms that were present when
my friends wife died. This set me to
thinking about the matter.
It was not long after this before q
Beacon HMl friend of mine expired
suddenly after a meal. The doctors, as
usual, were divided in opinion Oh the
cause OF death. Some of them con-
tended that it was heart failure, what
ever that is, and others are still holding
out that is was apoplexy. Inquiry de-
veloped the fact that my friend was
very angry when he sat down at table,
and that he ate five eggs. With these
developments searched no further for
the cause OF his death. He was angry,
he ate eggs and he died. If these are
not links in the chain of cause and eff
feet the human intelligence is incapa-
BILE of logical thinking"

AS LONG AGO.
YES, LIKE IT USED 70 BE.
Pitt County Independence.

The Greenyiile Reflector recently
published the following interesting ar
ticle, which escaped our notice until
we saw it reproduced in the Henderson
Gold Leaf. It is worth repeating in
every paper in the State. It smacks OF
the good old days of honest toll which
THE COMMONWEALTH likes to hear
about.
The Reflector said:
can incident occurred here on Satur-
day which we feel almost safe in saying
Is without parallel in this country.
A lady came to town that day and
made some purchases at one OF our
stores. She says she has been married
10 years, has lived all this time within
four miles of Greenville, her family
numbers ten persons, but this was the
first time she had ever been in store
and purchased an article. When ques-
toned more fully she stated that she
had made at home all the cloth her
family needed, that her husband raised
his own supplies, that they never had
to buy anything except hats, shoes,
sugar, coffee and the things they
could not make or raise at home. She
said that while the women OF the coun-
try had largely abandoned the practice
of making cloth she had kept it up and
found that she could easily meet the
needs of her family in that particular.
She did this to help her husband along
and to help him pay for his farm.
1.-THE merchant was very much inn
pressed by the woman's statement and
told her he desired to present her with
a dress as a reward for her industry.
He is we'll acquainted with her husband
and knows from his habits that she had
made true statement of their manner
of living. The man never buys what
can be made at home, and what he
does buy is with cash.
"Such cases as this are so rare as to
be remarkable. 1t was not a good day
for the country when the music of the
spinning wheel and loom of our moth
ers and grandmothers was hushed.
Could there be a return of those times
when the farm produced what the fam
lily consumed and the good women
made what was worn you would hear
Of fewer mortgages on the farm and the
hard times croaker would lose his &C.
cupatlon."

A Boy on . Farm.
Hearth and Home Journal.

Hearth and Home Journal.
It is quite likely that no country
boy needs to be told about the life Of a
boy on farm, bat he may more truly
realize his own importance by reading
what Charles Dudley Warner says
about him
"It Is my IMPRESSION" says Mr..
Warner, "that farm without boy
would soon come to grief. What q
boy does is the life of the farm. He
is the factotum always in demand, and
always expected to do the thousand
and one things that nobody else will
do. Upon him tails the odds and ends,
the most difficult things. After every
body else is through he is to finish up.
His work is like a woman perpetual
waiting on others. Everybody knows
how much easier it Is to cook good
meal than to wash the dishes after
ward.
"Consider what boy on farm is
required to do-things that must be
done or life would actually stop. It Is
understood, in the first place, that he
is to do all the errands, to go to the
store, to the postofice, and to carry all
sorts of messages. If he had as many
legs as centlpide, they would tire be-
fore night.
"He is the one who spreads the grass
as the men cut it he slows it awav in
the barn he rides the horses to cult
vate the corn up and down the hot,
weary rows he brings wood and water
and splits kindling; he gets up the
horse and turns out the horse. Wheth-
or he is in the house or out of 1t, there
is always something to do. just before
school in the winter he shovels paths ;
and in summer he turns the grlndstone.
And yet, with his mind full of schemes
of what he would like to do, and his
hands full of occupation, he is an idle
boy who has nothing to busy himself
with but schools and chores, he thinks !;
and yet doubt If any boy ever
amounted to anything in the world, or
was of much use as man, who did
not enjoy the advantage of a liberal ed
ucation in the way of chores"
