In nothing so much by the very great number
of those who have applied for during The
past two weeks has the popularity of the s. rate
been shown. II was with genuine surprise and de-
Hight that the unexpected announcement was re-
ceived and welcomed by hundreds
1t is natural enough that the rate should be
popular. Il is natural that anything offered

Popularity, however. not VIA; sought
when the So rate WAS extended until November l.
Doctor Mccor simply agreed to this extension in
order that by it he might disprove and emphasize
:he disproof of those false reports which cir
culatcd, to the effect that all who began trcst-
ment under the s. rate would he compelled TO pay
large fees after the first month had passed. The
essential thing about the offer was that those
who took advantage of it were entitled TO the rate

Having agreed TO the extension, Doctor Mccoy
will live up 10 the letter OF his agreement. but
while doing this he insists that the>e is justice
in continuing longer to give the people skill and
perience at price much lower than it is worth
and much lower than those living in other citirs
willing to pay.
Doctor Mccoy desires to say that under 40 cir
oumstances will he again lie persuaded to extend
the offer. TO matter for what consldera-

enhead's anger; SO that presently all my
fore-looking resolved itself into a strenuous
effort to put of the evil day, and to pro-
long, by lying still and quiet, the sleep into
which he appeared to have fallen.
He lay so close to me, divided only by the
one board on which reclined, that all the
noises of the ship-the creaking of the tim
bers, the wash Of the seas they foamed
along the quarter, and the banging of
blocks and ropes-noises that never ceased,
failed to cover the sound of his breathing.
And this nearness to me, taken with the
fact that could not see him, so tormented
me with doubt whether he was awake or
asleep. was recovering or growing worse,
that more than once raised my head and
listened until hly neck ached. In the twi-
hght OF the cabin l could see his cloak

der, and sat UP with a start of alarm,
a mans voice in my ear. The floor Of the
cabin slanted no longer. the cloak and
sword belt hung motionless on the wall,
ard in place of the sullen plash of the
waves and the ceaseless creaking OF joists
and knees, that had before filled the in
wards of the ship, medley of shouts and
cries. as shrill as they were unintelligible,
filled the pauses of the windlass. These
things were, and I took them In, and drew
the inference-that We were in harbor; but
mechanically, for it seemed at the moment
that such wits as terror left me were In
the grasp of the man who shook me and
swore at me by turns. and whose short
hair-for he was wigless-fairly bristled
with rage and perplexity.

frantically. What witchcraft is this?

For several years past many OF the
teachers OF the more advanced Grades Ia

OF the day which are touched on by the
daily and weekly press. and II is said
the experiment has been very satisfac-
