Dreyfus Not Badly Treated.

Concerning Dreyfus. He is not Gagged
in iron like wild beast in a menagerie.
Nor is he compelled to pace measured
walk with loaded cannon at either end.
Those lurid stories have been relegated
to fiction by Dutch sailor named
Weinheber That enterprising mariner
was lent by his captain to the garrison
of the lie du Dia BILE as cook. He had his
work cut out so far as Dreyfus was
concerned. Chocolate on rising, an
egg for breakfast, roast beef for dinner,
cold ham On. Drumont will be delight
ed at thatD for dinner That is Drey-
fus' fare; and it is washed down with
generous bottled beer. He might do
much worse in an out-of-theway fort
Senegal way. Dreyfus, too, has the
run of the island, can play cards (for
love) with his warders, and study
books on military topics. Lest we
should imagine that he is in a complete
condition of middle-class ease, we are
informed that his hands are tied with
cord when he is in his bath, one end
of which is held by jailer lest he
should commit suicide. AS the poor
man could hardly swallow his sponge.
this precaution seems slightly SUPER
fuous. 1t is, presumably, the Dutch
cooks own and original contribution
to the Dreyfus legend.-Pall Mall Ga

WHY THEY BLUNDERED.
How 1t Was That LOngfellOw's Poem
Was Responsible for the School
Children's Mistake.

This is the season when the boys and
girls are in a fret and worry over school
examinations. The dreaded examina-
tions are on, and whether they will get
up or be left down is a burning ques-
ton in hundreds of little heads. There
is considerable doubt whether these eX-
aminations are fair tests of ability, but
pedagogues have not yet succeeded in
Geyising substitute. Last year in a
certain grammar school there came
pretty near being row on this point,
In the language lesson there was
given a quotation from "Enoch Arden,'
in which the phrase "swarthy fishing
nets" was used. The pupils were
asked to define "swarthy." They all
thought they knew, but as it turned
out, not one of them did. They defined
the word as meaning ''strong."
When the papers were looked over to
mark the averages the principal was
astounded at the universal error, and
called on one of the brightest girls for
an explanation.
81 thought it meant 'strong,'" "replied
the girl, confidently, because it is used
in that sense in other cases."
"It never is, returned the principal,
in surprise. ''Please give me an in
stance"
"Well, doesn't it say: Beside the
forge the swarthy blacksmith stands.
And all blacksmiths are strong, aren t
they?"
The teacher was astounded again,
and yet she had to admit that the mis-
take was a natural one for children to
