A SchooIroom Innovation.

A famous German professor of hygiene
declares that above all things our
schoolroOms should be provided with Il
good system of ventilation And all or
us agree with him. We want some ar
rangement whereby the impure air can
be constantly swept out and the pure air
introduced. And yet we who have stood
IN the SchOOlroom, surrounded by nearly
hundred little unwashed bodies cannot
feel satisfied with this arrangement alone.
We know by experience that even the
best ventilating apparatus will fall short
in producing exactly an ideal condition of
the atmosphere. We had often thought
of making the bath tub part and por-
tion of the education of the children in
trusted to our care, in former years, and
yet we lacked the necessary funds for
making the experiment. Many teachers
have entertained the same views. with
the same results But now we find, to
our surprise, that the idea is very old
and, in fact, has been carried into excel
lent effect long ago in many of the
schools of Europe. Warm shower baths,
and plenty of them, have been provided

These baths are practical and economical,
as well as hygienic. A school in Gottili-

Piracy in the East.

Piracy in some eastern waters is more
rife now than ever it was. So it would
appear from the latest report of our con-
sui at Canton. This is how the robbers
proceed: They have no armed craft of
their own with which to give chase and
run down their victims. The usual plan
is for band of half a dozen men to &C
on board passenger launch disguised as
honest men. When a suitable spot Is
reached they throw off all disguise. over
awe the crew and passengers by flourish
ing revolvers, and then half the party
proceed to search the passengers and
their luggage, and when they have TAX
en- all they want they transfer them
selves to another boat or land near q
friendly village, where a division of the
spoils takes place.
These pirates, the consul points out
are not devoid of a certain chivalrous
feeling. Cases have been known where
after having robbed some rich passen-
gers and made a good haul, they have re-
stored to the poorer passengers what
had already been taken from them. Or
other occasions they have overpowered
the master and crew of launch anC
borrowed the use of the vessel for 2
few hours, during which they have over
hauled junk known to have valuables
on board. Having pilaged the junk they
have steamed away to their own village
and before landing they have offered &c
pay the master for the time his launch
has been detained This is quite in Ralph
the Rover style.-The Westminster GA

Autumn Tailor Made Gowns.

A number of the new tailor-made
gowns show a great deal of stitching
on bands that are applied, and in coll
lars, reverS, cuffs and belts. Some of,
them have stitching in a contrasting
color, but those of better style are
done in self-color. Buttons are (,
feature on street costumes, and are
used in small numbers of good size or
are put on in quantities of very small
size. Brass buttons of tiny size set
very close together are much used on
street dresses for misses and young
women. Very narrow gold graid. a
mere thread. follows stitched bands On
the skirt and waist, where brass but
tons are worn. Belts on street dresses
have lost their crushed folded look and
are severely plain. fastened with a
severe dull clasp or ribbon bows made
from braid or stiff ribbon that may
serve as trimming for the gown.

THE GOOSE BONE BAROMETER.
Says There's Cold Time coming-Get ou,
Your FlanneIs.

It's going to be cold winter for
man and beast. The motorman-place

perature of his own language. The hot
peanut man VIII transfer his wares to a
less enviable position and place his
hands over the grateful and comfort
ing little stove, the while he swears at
everything in sight. It's going to be
cold winter, my countrymen, and the
only man who win welcome the wave
of wind and. chill will be the plumber
gentleman, whose cardiac organ will be
as warm as the heart of Vesuvius.

you finish that sentence, snatching

mind you-have the goose bones been
so white, nor yet so wide. Sure sign.
Look at the ragweed closer. How
tall it is! Divinely tall, the birds mur-

tonight" A wOodchuck is as good a
barometer as anybody need wish for.
Get woodchuck and train him up in
the way he should go and you will use
no other weather warning.

evidences that the proper thing to do
is to get out and corner the wooden

the moth balls out of your sweater and
dig up your fur lined overcoat.

MURDERED BY his COLONEL.
A German Sergeant Killed Because a ..Seli.
Cooker Turned Out Poor Food.

Hardly had the news become public
in Germany that Lieut. Won Brusewitz
the onicer guilty of the unproyoked
murder or civilian, had been released
by the Kaiser after only two years
Imprisonment, when the killing of a
non commissioned officer by one of his
superiors has once more stirred M
feeling against army officers. While
the 18th Uhlan Regiment was encamned
near Hegenau on the night of Sept. Is.
Sergt. Scheinhardt, acing as quarter
master, was in charge Of the "self-
cooker a sort of Atkinson oven ar
rangement. in which the food for his
squadron was being prepared. He was
called away during the night to re-
ceive forage, and in his absence the
privates attending to the cooker for
got to put on the rubber ring that
keeps the air out, and as result the
food in the cooker was spoiled.
The major, Count Stollberg- Werni-
gerode, belonging to one of the noblest
families in Germany, one which finds
place in the Almanac de Gotha, took
the segreant to task for the failure
The latter explained that he was not to
blame, as he had been obliged to go
away while the cooking was going on
Later the major again assailed the SER
geant, telling him that he was "the
greatest scoundrel," 1.-THE lowest cur"
in the regiment.
Scheinhardt controlled himself, and
answered that he did not think he de-
served such appellations. Thereupon
the major slapped his face so hard that
the man fell against a cart AS he
picked himself up Scheinhardt cried
out to the men standing near: you
have seen that I have been struck"
Count Stollberg then drew his sword
and struck the sergeant with it first on
the leg, then on the left side of the
head.
Scheinhardt took out his handkerchief
to stop the blood. stood upright for
moment, then fell senseless to the
ground. He was carried to the hospi-
tai, where he died the same night.
without recovering consciousness. He
was buried in the presence of many OF
the officers of the Sarreburg garrison,
and the regimental chaplain at the
grave spoke of the killing as "a brutal
miSdeed.''
The mans military record was an
excellent one. His father is veteran
of three wars, with several medals;
one brother is a commissioned Off
Ger. another private. Count Stoll-
berg -Wernigerode, who is As years of
age, has been placed under arrest.

A Wheel Face.

''One effect of the extended use of
the bicycle said a physician, SIS seen
in the greatly increased number of
facial scars. Twenty years ago a
woman with a cicatrice was a rarity.
Now she has become almost common.
In this hotel, for instance, there are not
less than 20 who have scars large and
small produced by tumbles. Not infre-
quently you find one with a disfiguring
red line running from chin to eye.
These injuries are seldom dangerous,
but they leave their traces. nor has
any doctor wise enough to prevent the
scars been found. This is rough on the
girls. A woman's skin seems to scar
more easily than a mans and even a
scratch will sometimes leave a scar.
Then they have no boards to hide the
jagged seams. Our most reckless rid
erS are women. Many of them go at
breakneck speed and they pay no at
tention to the rules of the road. Then
again, when they become involved in
difficulties with other bicyclists or with
vehicles they almost invariably lose
their heads and do the thing they
should not do. For these reasons,
healing lotions, skin medicines, the fin
est of needles, a silver thread and such
things form a large part of every hotel
physicians equipment. AS to the men,
nobody pays any attention to them and
their facial scars do not amount to
anything. Very few of them marry, or
are popular with women, because they
are pretty. Indeed, most of them are
| rather proud of a broad red seam or
two, speaking of dangers past. 1t looks
martial, don't you know. A fellow
| may have had his cheek cut open by
butting against lamp post, but when
| it is healed he likes to ride slowly
| through the parks and have the girls
| look after him and wonder if the in
| jury was not inflicted by the sabre of a
| Spanish officer. A man who has his
nose broken simply puts shield over
| it and goes ahead earning a living. A
| woman who has her nose broken would
| much rather be dead. All women's
| wheels should be made with a speed
| limit of four miles an hour"

cnIcAGO'S SOCIAL SETTLEMENT.
Not a Charity, But an Extensive Social and
Educational Democracy.

Hull house has now twenty-one after
noon clubs for children, eighteen evening
clubs for both children and adults TWEEN
ty-eight regular classes a childrens cho-
raj society of nearly four hundred mem
bers, kindergarten of sixty pupils, and
a large. day-nursery,' writes Forrest
Crissey in the October Woman's, Home
Companion. From the true Hull house
view point humanity is subject to only
that classification which divides it into
residents, neighbors and friends, and of
these three the residents believe them
selves the recipients of the greatest ben
efits which accrue from the relationship.
Regarding. the occupations of those who
compose the family circle of the settle
ment it should be said that probably Il
majority of them are Independent of the
necessity for earning a livelihood. Their
sion of intelligence, social democracy and
higher living and thinking along all lines.
1T is the social side of Hull house
which must eyer appear most remarkable
in the eyes of the visiting stranger. Pic
ture home big enough and hospitable
enough to welcome two thousand per-
sons to its pleasures and comforts every
week, and you have a very fair concep-
ton of what Hull house is to the work
ing people of every nationality who live
in the nineteenth ward. Not less than d
thousand children lin and ~eut4 of tn
Hull house doors each week, and when the
great summer playground is in operation
the number of juvenile neighbors in evil
dence is increased to several thousand.
How extensive and varied are the social
activities of Hull house is suggested by
the fact that each club gives a regular
monthly dance, and once year indulges
in more elaborate function for which
hired music is provided. This means
that there is dancing in the settlement
four or five evenings of every week, and
that each Thursday evening is wholly
given over to social festivities. Saturday
evening is also a favorite occasion for
neighborhood parties, particularly for ell
tertainments by the members of the Jane
club. The latter is undoubtedly the most
successful and celebrated cooperative
housekeeping club for working-gi in

MO0NsnINE IN CITY LIGHTING.
A chicagoan BeiuddIed by the System Of n.
Elimination on Columbus Avenue.

Tell me this" said the man from
Chicago to the New Yorker, who pays
for lighting Your streets when it is
done? Who is the man or the corpo-
ration who holds the Columbus avenue
job? I live just off that thoroughfare,
far from Central Park One reason /
ask is that think an old friend of mine
who died seven years ago has returned
to business and secured a contract in
New York.
His name was Baldwin. He was
colonel in the Civil War. When Car
ter Harrison the elder was first elected
mayor he appointed Baldwin gas in
spector, and as long as Carter was
mayor the colonel had the job. He was
a faithful servant. He used to do his
own inspecting on horseback. Many
a night he played the solitary horse
man act in Chicago, riding all night to
see that the streets We're properly
lighted, or darkened as he desired. For
there We're times when it was quite as
important to turn off the gas as it was
to turn it on at other times. One of the
colonePs imperative orders was that
no gas was to he burned in the streets
lamps when there was moonlight. If
the moon came up after, say, 10 o'clock,
the street 'glims' We're to be doused,
or whenever it came up, no matter
what the hour might be. And when
the moon was in it's first quarter the
lamplighters used to watch it until It
went down and then they lighted up.
There never was man who had the
phases of the moon down as fine as
Col. Baldwin. Cloudy weather cut no
figure with him. The clouds might be
thick enough to plough in. but as long
as Col. Baldwin knew the moon was
up and attending to business the
streets were kept dark. For, the col
onel used to say, the moonshine was
liable to break through any minute.
Chicago saved money under old Carter
Harrison's administration, out of the
| moon, as she was run by Col. Baldwin.
But if the colonel has come back and
has a contract in New York, he has
reversed himself. / find, when / go
home in the morning, when the moon
is at it's brightest, that the are lights
in Columbus avenue are doing their
best work. But when there is no moon
and particularly when the clouds are
thick and black, nary an arc light, nor
any other kind can you find. If New
, York man has the contract, he doesn't t
understand his business. If there is
any moonshine in his contract he ought
to stand in with the moon the same
as old Col. Baldwin did, in the interest
of the treasury and for the benefit of
the populace.-New York Sun.
