An expression OF cunning came over
the dying face.

the earl, hastily. Il am thankful to say
that your murderous shot never reach

The look on the dying mans face

No; you have wounded an innocent
lady, stranger to you-that is all; my
dear wife you have not injured"
And l sent for you believing that
she was dead. dreading lest an innocent
man should suffer for my deed, longing
also that you should know had taken
my revenge"
Il can only thank heaven you have

John Blantyre raised himself; the
hatred, the bad passions in tie dying
face were terrible to see.
Tell her." he cried. Il am sorry
did not kill her: tell her that she
ruined me and that hate her for 1t.
tell her that l sent her my curse. and
that after l had cursed her never
opened my lips again."
He fell back exhausted. and he
kept his word. Never again were his
lips opened In mortal speech. The
earl tried, Sir Raoul left his sick room
to try to soften and persuade him,

side. a grave minister pleaded with him
1t was all In vain, after that one ter

Fearful Of the attcntion OF his SER

she would not see him. She refused

Work of Puplis In Public School Under
Two systems Compared.
From the New York Evening Post:
In the opinion OF Professor Richard c.
Schiedt of Franklin and Marshall col
lege. nothing has been gained, but
something lost. in the abandonment OF
the old methods in public schools OF
alternate study and recitation periods,
and Of brief recess during each school
session. This-view was expressed in
paper read before a meeting in. Lam
caster, Pa. OF the Associated Heath
Authorities. Tho paper was scientific
and described psychological expert
ments undertaken by Professor
Schiedt and others to determine tho
fatigue of pupils under different condi-
tions Passing the experiments. and
coming to the professors conclusions.
1t appeared that under the Herbartian
method OF instruction, which provides
for alternate recitation and study pc
riods, and does away with home work,
the power of mental endurance exhib-
tied by the children was practically
without limit when the atmospheric
conditions were favorable. In the re-
suits the depressing or elevating infiu-
ence OF the atmosphere had nn impor-
tant bearing. A partial remedy is the
session recess, affording opportunity
for physical exercises in the open air
and for complete change in the at
mosphere OF the schoolroom. This is
the more important. Professor Schiedt
says, as in this region the days with
unfavorable atmospheric conditions
are In the majority.

Portsmouth. N. H.. Letter.)


Civilization while you wait would be
an appropriate motto for the prison
stockade at Camp Long. The camp is
on seayey's Island. part OF the navy
yard, which on the map appears in
Kittery, Me-. and on official documents
at Portsmouth. in New Hampshire.
Two days before the st. Louis steamed
into the harbor with COG Spanish pris-
oners OF war on board the camp ground
was not much better than a desert.
This end of the island Is bound with
rocks, which stick up through the
blueberry bushes and scrubby grass
on knolls and hillsides. Col. James
Forney, commanding the Maine Guard,
had during his previous term OF duty
at the navy yard laid out golf links oa
this eastern end of the island.
Today he uses the old iron hole
markers as dead line ranges. The
best hazards in the links are spoiled by
little new pine board town OF dozen
houses, all but one OF which are cut
on from the rest OF the island by a
high board fence. Within thirty-six
hours from the arrival of the st. Louis
in the lower harbor this village had
been equipped with all the creature
comforts demanded by free born
American citizen.
The landing OF the Spaniards was
without ceremony or display. Two
black, flat-iron shaped barges were
brought up. one after the other. from
the big liner, about a mile away, and
made fast to Lieut.. Greeley's landing
place, at the foot of old Fort Sullivan,
now used as a reservoir. There were
few workmen and few ladies and
children from the post on the shore.
and a Gordon of pleasure boats on .he
water, hut no official demonstration of
any sort. There was not an officer.
nor even marine. in sight, and no
indication that the island was garrl-
soned.
On the first barge Lieut.. Catlin, a
survivor of the Maine disaster. brought
with him Capt. Moreu. of the Cristobal
Colon, to act as interpreter, and about
a dozen American marines to take
care of a boatload OF four hundred
Spanish prisoners of war. Lieut.. Cat
lin had navy revolver in his belt
instead OF his sword, and went at his
work without any fuss or feathers.
When six marines had scrambled
ashore and were strung along the bank

Tho Quaker spirit. at its best, is the
spirit Of truth. Righteousness and all
embracing charity: but sometimes
Quakers. like other people. make too
much OF little things, thereby becom-
ing. what they loathe. Journalists. The
Church Standard tells two anecdotes
illustrating this tendency. In the days
when Friends were accustomed to wear
cooked hats turned up at the sides, one
good Friend bought hat Of this de-
scription. without noticing that 1t was
looped up with button. He sat one
day In meeting. when he noticed some
looks OF curious displeasure. Taking
of his hat, he saw the reason for the
looks, and then rose and said, Friends,
IL religion consists in . button, /
wouldn't give a button for It," His
sermon was at least understood. A
somewhat similar story is told of an
influential Friend who. ON his way to
meeting, was caught in . drenching
rain, and borrowed neighbor's coat.
He seated himself opposite to Jacob
Lindley, who was SO much disturbed
by the glittering buttons that "his
meeting did him no good" When the
congregation rose to depart, he felt
constrained to go up to the Friend who
had 10 much troubled him and inquire
why he had 80 grievousIy departed
from the simplicity enjoined upon
members Of their society. The good
man looked down upon his garment.
and quietly replied. Il borrowed the
coat because my own was wet; and in
deed, Jacob. did not notice what but
tons were ON it." Jacob shook his
hand warmly. and said. Thou art
better Christian than am, and will
learn of thee" Jacob was right. He
had been paying too much attention
to the mint. anise and cummin" Of
Quaker tradition.

rowed cigarettes the well Spaniards
slept long and soundly. More meals
followed with surprising abundance
and regularity, and great wagon loads

Perhaps 1t may not last, but that is
the sentiment in Camp Long at pres

the establishment of the camp was ac-
complished without the slightest hos
tile demonstration on the part of the
Spaniards. Some OF the men passive

The masses OF the north will fight,

south have had proved to us. More
over, they will fight for sentiment,

MILITARY EXPEDITION.

1t was on the first day of May that
Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish
ships and defences in Manila bay.
Twenty-four days later the first detach-
ment of troops sent to re-enforce him
sailed from San Francisco.
There have been some expressions
OF impatience because of this delay, and
also because more troops were not sent.
But those who erlticise the government
on this account can have little idea Of
the difficulties involved In sending \
large military expedition such dis
tance.
From San Francisco to Manila is
about seven thousand miles. The yoy-
age, under favorable conditions, takes
about four weeks. Ships had to be
chartered and made ready in haste. to

weapons, field artillery as we'll as rifles.

the other patients, about one hundred
and twenty-five, are suffering from ac-
climatic fever, which Is not conta-
gious, but which causes chills, cramps
and great pain for about five days. The
surgeons say that this fever will go
through the camp. attacking all who
have not had 1t. About a score OF
men are taken sick every day, and
about the same number are discharged
from the hospitals.
The convalescents and miIder cases
Of fever are cared for in the stockade,
where one large building Is used for
hospital purposes. Two Spanish chap
lains. two surgeons, an apothecary's 8
steward, and five Junior lieutenants
have had building built for their
special accommodation. and have been
fitted out with sailors clothes from the
navy yard storehouses. Their ward
room is fitted out with hunks and
abundant furniture. DIR. Suare7, who
speaks English little. says thal while
there will be q good deal for the doc
tors to do. they all expect to enjoy
themselves In camp.
The civilizing influenc. of a short
piece of rope is still to be seen at Camp
Long. In olden times the rope was
used to COW starved and ill-treated
prisoners. Today 1t nerves a different
purpose. The members Of the o.s.cer's
mess hardly got new clothes before
they began devising amusements. and
jumping rope has become very popu-
lar. Two Of the more sedate onlcers
swing the rope while the others take
turns jumping. J
