Th4 Training School
Work on This Building
Is Very Slowly Pro-
crossing.
Glasses Have Been Started
Ny Mr.. Parker Although Little Man
ual Training Work Can he Done
without the Building.

10 is very probable that the new man
ual training school upon which work
vas commenced early last spring will
not be ready tor occupancy for some time
yet. Ii was at fret thought that the
new building would be ready for use soon
after the fall term was commenced, but
the work has progressed very slowly
OF late and the building will not be ready
for several months and probably cannot
be occupied until next summer. Christ
mas was later set for the opening OF the
school, but it il now nearly as far from
completion as before.
AS far as the building itselfis concerned,
IL was finished some time ago, although
the men have been busily employed doing
work on the inside and putting the fin
ishing touches on the work. However,
the equipment IA not here as yet and
some OF it has not yet been ordered.
This will take some time to get in shape
after it does arrive. Mr.. Parker. who is
TO superintend the manual training work
in the schools, has commenced the differ
ent classes in the work and started them
on the lines which will be further devel-
oped when it can be done to advantage
in the new building. Regular classes
have been held in carpenter and other
bench work and the inside work in me-
chanical drawing has been kept.
Aside from this very little manual
training work can be done in the schools
until the new building is ready for occu-
pancy.
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
The work in the business classes under
the direction of Mr.. Fisher is progressing
very favorably and the large class which
commenced the work at the beginning of
the term is going ahead. Stenography
classes are still large and the pupils are
well up in the Shorthand work. The
school board has sent for two machines
and the pupils will be given work on
them as soon as they arrive. The school
will then be equipped with typewriters
as they will have three in all.
The authorities we're still bothered with
the subject OF keeping the high school
room warm during the Christmas holi-
days. The school had to be dismissed
Thursday forenoon on account OF the
cold, three OF the students were sus-
pended from school Thursday afternoon
for ten days for trick at which they
were caught, The thermometer in the
high school room had been noticed to be
low all morning and in the afternoon
some OF the boys went to school early
and opened some Of the windows 80 as
TO get the room good and chilly and in
sure another half holiday, but were
caught in the act. The boys explained
that they were experimenting with the
thermometer.

Transyaal Gold.

OF his recent extended study of the
gold of South Africa DIR.
Becker says that the Transvaal republic
contains the largest gold deposits in the
world. Within 10 miles Of Johannes
burg there is an amount of gold, prac-
tically in sight, estimated to be worth
So, 500, 600, coo, or nearly as much as
the entire volume of gold coin now in
the world. The gold is extraordinarily
uniform, as uniform as coal in an Or
binary deposit, as shown by shafts
which have been sunk to a depth of
1, 800 feet and diamond drillings which
have gone still farther. AT present the
gold is being taken out at the rate of
500, 600, 900 a year.
The most surprising news which DR..
Becker brings is the testimony Of an
American who was formerly Lis assist.
ant in the geological survey, and who
is now engaged in mining in the Trans
vaal, where he has made several mil
lions of dollars. The American mining
expert says to his knowledge and belief

have come in over the gold. This, how

SPANISH G~RANDEES.
They Constitute the Real Aristocracy OF
the Naughty Nation.

VIC iiduSbty NhttOn.
The real aristocracy of Spain is limited
to the 243 grandess, many Of them I'M
titled, who enjoy innrmerable privi-
leges, including those Of remaining
seated and coyeced in the presence of
royalty and of access TO the sovereign at
all times. Admission to the grandeza is
exceedingly difficult to obtain, for it is
necessary to prove a long line of blue
blooded ancestry, unsullied either ON
the p~aternal or ON the maternakside by
any plebeian strain. The ancient cere-
n:ony of comforting the grandeza-this
and the ceremony Of inducing a peer to
his seat in the house of lords constitute
the only forms of investiture of mobiles
that survive in the old worlds termed
an almohada and is exceedingly rare.
Queen Christina has held but two since
her husbands death; there were three
during the reign of King Alfonso XII.
One Of the latter was witnessed by q
writer i'll tie New York Tribune, who
thus describes it:
1T took place in the small throne
room of the royal palace at Madrid. The
men of grandee rank were at the right
Of the dais and the women at the left.
On the king exclaiming, BE seatedi'
they all took their p~lacesupon ~tabourets,
or stools Of carved wood, topped with
large purple velvet cushions. Everybody
else, such as the members of the diplo-
matte corps and of the royal household,
remained standing. Then the doors at
the farther end of the room opened,
and, preceded by a herald and two
chamberlains and accompanied by the
two grandees acting as sponsors, the
postulant for admission to the grandeza
appeared and approached the throne
with three low obeisances. A tabouret,
with purple cushion, having been
brought and placed on the lowest of the
steps leading up to the throne, the king
commanded the candidate to be seated
and t%hereupon addressed a few compli-
mentary words to him, recalling the
services of his family to the dynasty in
bygone ages. Alfonso concluded his lit
tie speech by extending his hand to be
kissed, at the same time directing him
to take his place among the peers.
Retiring backward from the royal
presence, theAawly fedged grandee was
conducted by his sponsors to the side Of
the hall occppied by the ladies Of the
grandee rank, to whom he made a low
bow, and then to that of the men, whom
he saluted in the same n He
thereupon put his hat upon his head, his
example being instantly followed by ev-
cry grandee present, who all remained
covered until, his stool and cushion hav-
ing been removed from the steps of the
throne and placed beside those of his
peers, he had seated himself thereon.
This brought to a close the acutal cere-
mony of almohada, which was rendered
extraordinarily picturesque by the u
perb toilets of the women, by the gor-
geous tabards Of the royal heralds and
by the brilliant uniforms of tho generals,
the court officials, the ministers of state,
and, last, but not least, by those Of the
diplomats.

BEATING FATHER TINE.
The Mormon Bishop Was Frightened Il;
She Railroad Speed.

O~N pFNSNF
Speed was once demonstrated on a
western road in a fashion to curl the
hair of at least one old Mormon bishop.
The churchman considered il q phenom-
non and got eff the train Is quickly as
he could. He had bullwhacked across
the plains in the early days, and, strange
to say, had never ridden on a railroad
train until the time when he entered
upon his trip from Green river to San
Francisco. Ty speed was, therefore, a
revelation TO him. He had never before
seen anything SO swift, and he was
scared. About 10 miles from Ogden he
asked the conductor for the time of day
and was told that it was 1885. He i'm
pressed this time forcibly on his mind.
Now, for a wonder, the western con
nection at Ogden was quickly made,
and after the lapse of but q few minutes
the San Francisco bound travellers were
On their way Californiaward. Ogden
had been left behind only a few miles,
and the train was w~hooping along at a
behind time rate Of speed, when the old
bishop. frightened and trembling, dared
to ask the conductor what was the time
of day.
If you have travelled westward, you
know that at Ogden the time changes,
and San Francisco time, one hour ear
lier, is adopted. The conductor had San
Francisco time, and he said:
"It is 7:10-ten minutes after T."
The old bishop, previously haunte
by a dread of impending destruction be-
L of the horrible rate of speed at
which he was being whirled through
space, rose with a wild cry and made
for the door.
"Lemme off, he cried. ''It was 35
minutes after Z an hour ago, an WE'RE
goin 50 fast we are goin faster than
time can count itself. Lemme OFF,
Had he really been going as fast as
the old man had believed, he would
surely have been beaten to bits as he
jumped from the train. AS it was, he
was only rolled something like a halt
mile and was carried back to Ogden on
a hand car.-Chicago Record.

Idahn.s Island wenaar.

Henry lake is a beautiful body of wa
ter with an area OF about Al square
miles ard is 81 lated on the dome Of
the continent i'll a depression in the
Rocky mountains near Targees pass,
Idaho. Henry Lake is Of no consequence
itself, bat it is the home Of a most
wonderful floating island, which is seen
first ON one side of the lake and then on
the other. The island is about 800 feet
in diameter and has for its basis a mat
of roots and decayed vegetation sufi-
cient to support large trees and q dense
growth of underbrush. The edges of
this floating island are thin, Of course,
brt near the center il is several feet
thick and of sufficient strength to sup
port a good sized summer hotel, if some
one could be found that would care to
make such a venture. There is a good
sized willow thicket neal the center of
the island, and scattered around among
them are several dwarf pines and asp
ems. These trees catch the breeze which
is continually blowing over this highly
situated lake, and, acting as sails ON a
boat, move the 800 foot island hither
aid thither yer the 40 square miles Of
water at their will. Old mountaineers
who are well used to all kinds of queer
things declare that the floating island
of Henry lake is the most wonderful
thing to be seen in the mountain regions
Of the United States.-St. Louis Re-

Decline Of the Lsech Trade.

The indicative leech is now practi-
cally a thing of the past. The falling
off in the demand for ~lccolcs by the
medical profession is quite astonishing,
as may be judged from the fact that in
the year 1S45 the two largest hospitals
in London called for about 80, 900 of
them, whereas now these institutions
order only 80 or 100 lseches at irregular
and i~nfrequent intervals.
We are informed by well known leech
importers that the trade in leeches has
been subject to such fierce competition
that the price has been brought down
almost to nil. The quotation for a, sin.
gle hundred leeches at the present mo-
ment is fixed at a rate which is little
more than half what the great hospitals
paid for their o leech supplies
in 1916.
At that time the importation Of
leeches was carried on by means Of sail
ing boats plying to and from Smyrna;
but, owing to the difficulties of transfer
and the irregular arrival of the boats,
many attempts were made to conserve
and breed leeches In England. One en-
terprising man established three ponds
ION his own" at the top Of Brixton hill
and used to dispose Of many thousands
Of leeches weekly. His Successors, how
ever--our informants-have a gross an
nual output Of only 40, 900, not a 1.-THE
Of the business done half q century g
Assuredly the beech has seen his best
days. With the old regime, when cup
ping and bleeding were the sheet aR-
chors Of surgery, the lcech all but disap-
peared. So constant was his employ
ment in medieval times that his name
furnished a synonym for the medical
profession, and the doctor came to be
known impolitely as "the leech," per-
haps a subtle allusion to the rapacity for
fees which characterized the profession
in those times
At present the Hungarian speckled
leech is most in request. 1t is unsafe to
use the leeches found in 20 Of our
ponds in England, for their Dito is dam
gerous, often giving rise to blood poison

CHlvALRY AND M~A1RIMONY.
Time Honered Notions Of 0lden Days
Which Don't stand the Test.

h Don't stand the Test.
We all want to consider the days Of
chivalry as the golden days-never to
be recalled-for womankind. This is by
implication a rank injustice to our own
time.
With all its fine expressions of ardent
devotion to the fair sex and the multi
tude of its exquisite pretensions, chival-
ry was the degradation of the highest
n tenderest human instincts-the YER
liable curse of the course of true love.
Such a statement presents itself to the
romantic believer as a terrible counter
blast, but it is true, nevertheless. The
records of the treasury and the law
courts of those days, in furnishing the
experience of popular life deeply marked
by the worst shades of modern short
comings, provide the fullest proof.
Chivalry did not make marriages, at
least in the sense of those born of loves
young dream; it entirely ignored all
sexual affections and sold is victims
with ruthless indifference to all mutu-
ality.
There were not two parties to its bar
gains. There was only one, who was al
ways the third Of the group and the one
interested, not in satisfying the yearn-
ings Of the impassioned, but in a pecun-
iary sense of their value. He was the
vehder and might be either king or
baron. But whichever he was, he was
the incarnation Of INSCRIPTIONS power.
The matrimonial transactions of chiv-
airy were mercenary. To them there
were no Contracting parties" in the
shape of whispering lovers, ardent
SWANS and coy maidens. On the other
hand, there was bat sullen Indifference
or hating compliance. Chiyalry canted
about its faith i'll women and the purity
of its own motives, because it could not
sing of love. 1t may be said that it SO
canted bocaUa it knew it must cant.
II knew that it's marriages had not
been made in heaven ard Ct ethereal
sentiment. They were coarsely bargain
cd for, either in the king cxchequer or
in the open market place. Chivalry knew
itself as a social falsity and the parent
of lust. AS a consequence tho lower
orders" have had to give us the nomcn-
clature of our love affairs. Chaucer, the
very mitfcr OF the era of chivalry, has
typ;ied lust with his master hand,
but he has no picture of the gratified
tenderness of longing youth. In his sur
roundings it was not suffered to exist.
These surroundings had no terms to
enumerate the ardent SWANS and coy
maidens of rusticity. Bat if the aris-
tocracy can produce no one instance Of
the coy maiden, and the rustic sweet
heart remains to mock the dubious
fancee, it has a wealth of the arts of
diplomacy, and an inexhaustiblo list of
the terms Of intrigue. Chivalry gave ex-
preston to the word "maitresse, /" which
may have and had the funniest of mean
ings.-New York Herald.

THE FROZEN BREEZE.
A Strange Phenomenon Observed by q
Lover of Nature.

A Strange Phenomenon Observed by q
Lover of Nature.
Did you ever see a frozen breeze? You
might have seen if you had gone
with me into the country one winter
morning.
This was the way it came to be frozen:
All night long the air had been laden
with mist. Over the fields, in the hol.
lows, all through the woods, even on
top of the hills, the fog hung heavily.
All that time the wind blew steadily,
but no iercely, from some northern
quarter.
At nightfall the mercury fell below
the freezing point, so that this mist, as
it drifted through the trees, was frozen
upon their branches and twigs. The
elms, the oaks and the other leafless
trees took their ice coating quite evenly,
but the thick, impenetrable masses of
the needles of the pine trees were COW
cred n~oticeably only upon the sides to-
ward the north or northwest, from which
the wind came. The strong, steady
breeze bent the branches to leeward,
while it was icing them, and when the
wind went down in the morning they
all remained just there, leaning to the
southwark, iced and frozen to immova-
bility, but locking just as if the wind
were still steadily blowing.
Even in tie afternoon, when the rain
began to fall and the wind came from
quite another quarter, that north wind
Of the night before still remained white
and frozen over the piny woods, the
pale, rigid corpse of athing once keenly
alive.--Listener in Country.
