TEN YEARS, WORK.

The Garter Place. was famous be- fore the war. After it came into pos- session of MT. E. N. Pierce of Plain vile, Conn.,, efforts were made to make it an educational center for the large colored population near by. en years ago, the present school was opened. During all this time it has been carried on by Miss Cornelia Brown, gradu- ate of the first class from Booker T, Washington's school at Tuskegee. She has been assisted this year by four other students from the same school
 In addition to the literary work there has been instruction in blacksmithing, wheelWrighting, carpentry, painting, farming, shOeing and cooking. A splendid exhibit of sewing was made by the girls and manufactured articles by the boys including very nice wagon. To-day closed the tenth year of work. The property includes a large school building, one industrial building, black smith shop, barn, teachers house and nine acres of land. It is valued at about $5,00O. It is held by @ board of trustees of which Dr. E. N. Pierce is president. Associated with him are
 
 some of the colored men of the neigh borhood including Booker Washington of Tuskegee. The following white men are also on the board of trustees: w. D. Peck and N. c. Rogers of New York city, Hon. Pierce N. Welch of New Ha- ven, Conn.,, MT. Isaacson of Cincinnati, Ohio, and R. c. Bedford of Beloit, Wis. There has been an attendance of 1S9 during the year. Eight graduated to- day. All know how to do some useful work. Two are fine wheelwrights for their age. Forty-four have graduated in all. They are all living. Thirty three of them were present at the Alumni meeting to-day Most of them teach some during each year. They have taught 1,1S9 children in their schools. Of thegraduates, twenty two are women and twenty-two men. Four are married, several have gone to other schools, some are mechanics, one is a merchant in Birmingham and one is a preacher. The school has taught over 500 different children in the ten years. It has had some help each year from the North but has done much for itself. This year the people gave S415 besides much in work.

In most respects the game was pitchers battle, though there was good hitting on both sides, which brought out sharp fielding. Johnson was very effective for New Haven, and though he was hit for total of 12, still at times when a hit might have won the game he had Waterbury at his mercy. The score.

LIVING IN ITALY.

On the whole, the much-vaunted cheapness of living in Italy proves to be a thing of the past. Some articles of food are much cheaper than in the northeastern United States, but the extremely high duties on many import ed articles, coffeeand sugar, ,forexample making the price of the former double and of the latter treble what it would cost in America, go far towards raising the expense of Italian living to the level of our own. Kerosene, too, costs as much for litre In Naples as it does for a gallon in America, or nearly four times as much. Rents are low, and service is almost fabulously cheap, ten or twelve francs a month suffic- ing to hire a. capable woman servant, boarding in the house, and twenty or twenty-five francs who boards herself. Fuel on the other hand, is extremely expensive, charcoal costing ten francs for hundred kilograms, and coke more than half as much. Many details, in- deed, in the construction and manage ment of Italian houses are shaped with reference to the dearness of fuel. The cook stoves, mere shallow depress- ions, each with grated bottom, set in tiled structure, like the counter of a store, are so devised as to boil a sauce pan with only @ handful of lighted charcoal. Among the very poor, veg etables like broccoli that in other countries would be thoroughly boiled, are eaten merely wilted in boiling water, to save long continued use of the fire. No one can realize the per- petual fuel-famine that exists here, without remaining for some time in the dark little stall of one of the char coal vendors and watching the many customers-women and children-who come, each with tiny basket or bit of old cloth, to buy double handful of charcoal with which to do the cooking for the day.-American Kitchen Maga- zine,

The doctor was much pleased with what he saw, and the people gave him hearty welcome. He goes from here to Tuskegee. This school was among the first of the country schools to be started by Tuskegee.
