Consul Smith at Moscow has made

are l400 schools, supported in part BY
the Government; twenty-one Of these
are intermediate schools. Each of the
466 districts has an inspector besides
q board of directors. Children COM
hence school at the age Of ten; from
seven to ten they receive instruction
atihome from the parish priest. Co
education has been most successful ia
these schools. In Finland women
share in all industries, and are espe-
cially capable as teachers. Both men
and women teachers receive careful
instruction and preparation. They
are treated with the greatest defer
ence, nor are their duties confined to
the school room; they exercise q
supervision over the selection of books
for home reading, and during the
summer vacations they accompany the
children on excursions, giving them
lessons from nature"

The Curfew in Cambridge.

The Board of Aldermen Of Cam
bridge, Mass, seems fayorably dis.
posed towards q curfew ordinance
providing that children under sixteen
years old shall not be in the streets
after half past nine inthe evening I'M
less accompanied by a parent or
guardian, or furnished with a note
written the same day authorizing
them to be away from home. This
ordinance, which has progressed SO
far as enrolment, has q majority of
five to three behind it, and its effects
are likely to be tried. It's enforce
ment will call for much discretion on
the part Of the police, aud the expert
ence that Cambridge has with It will
doubtless influence the action OF
other New England cities. The obiec-
ton is made that Cambridge is too
much Of city for the ordinance to be
enforced without hardship, but Cam
bridge is not too much of q city to
tolerate q n~o-license law, and where d

History notes the fact that Bahia
Nipe, the third large harbor of Cuba
occupied by the United States, was
the scene of the first landing of Col
umbus on the shores of the greatest OF
the Antilles. It was at Nipe bay that
the voyager took his caravels after
sailing southwark from San Salvador,
and, after moving from that point west,
ward for some distance he turned, be-
lieving, it is narrated, thathe had en-
countered the shores of Asia and could
not hope to sail entirely around that
great continent. So he went back
eastward and thus made his way back
to Spain to tell of his wonderful dis
coveries. Nipe bay thus connects it
self with two widely separated stages
of the history of Cuba.

A member of the Volksraad Of the
Orange Free State, South Africa, rec.
ommends Sunday observance as an
~effectual cure for the rinderpest. Re-
Gently in the course of the debates on
the new Sunday Observance Act of
that State, he assured the members
that if they only passed a stringent
Sabbath law ''rinderpest and all other
plaques would vanish, and the land
would be Die flowing with milk and
honey" The new act, by the way,
prohibits goods trains, except per-
ishables, pleasure trains, and oil
games, the latter under penalty of
$50 or one month"

A Typical American Patriot.

OF this class, so prominently chill
dren of their time, and of the great
social forces then stirring into life,
Daniel Morgan was a most typical ex-
ample. Born in New Jersey, the sou
of a poor Welsh emigrant, he began
life as a day laborer. Drifting out to
the frontier he became a wagner,
then a soldier in the Braddock eXpedi-
ton, was brutally logged under the
savage military code of the time for
striking a companion, kept on in spite
of this hideous wrong, and so distiu-
gushed himself in battle that he was
promoted from the ranks and given a
commission. Desperately wounded,
he escaped from the Indians in a not
skirmish, clinging blindly to the neck
of his frightened runaway horse. So
he lived on the frontier, reckless, fight
ing, drinking, gaming, saved only from
destruction by his gigantic frame and
hard head. A fortunate marriage
turned him from his wild life and
brought his really fine and gentle ma
ture uppermost. He settled down in
Virginia, and although he fought in
Pontiac's and Lord Dunmore's wars,
he became a steady. hard working
planter. When the Revolution came
only n side was possible to such q
man-he was the friend Of Washing
ton, the way was open to ability, and
his time had come. With his rifiemen
raised in Virginia he had distinguish
ed himself in almost every action
from Boston to Monmouth. and had
been taken prisoner in the desperate
night'assault at Quebec He had been
especially conspicuous in the Bur
goyne campaign, playing a very large
part in the fighting which eliminated
in the surrender OF Saratoga, where
the British commander told him that
he commanded "the finest regiment in
the world" Congress did not, howev-
er, seem impressed in the same way.
In the promotions so lavishly given to
foreigners and favorites, Morgan was
passed over, and at last withdrew in
disgust to his home In Virginia. But
when he heard of the defeat at Cam
den he at once said that this was no
tine for personal feelings or resent
nlents, and went directly to Hillsbor-
ough to join the defeated Gates.-,J |

He reeled as ne cried the name and
the woman shrank back ever towards
death at the sound Of his voice. In
a moment the weakness passed and he
attacked the imprisoning pile. Help

At last he reached her, held her In

passed her back to willing hands. On
the instant a piece of iron, its sup
ports burned away, dropped from the

tracks. They thought he was dead

presently, in an %improvised farmhouse

kiss of full lips on his bloodless one

"Jack! My Jack! 1t is Ethel. Don't
you know me?'
If Jack had been physically stronger
perhaps the barriers which long
months of bitter contempt had raised
would not have been so easily swept
away. But as it was he whispered,
"My darling" and raised one arm
weakly to fold about her neck. After

Over the hills that they stormed that

Man and man like a solid wall,
Knowing no thought but the one,

Following orders, that is all
While the gaps close up as the

And the black smoke curls like a

Over the dead that shall live for aye,
Though they sleep till the reveille's

Dotting the hills where the fight was

Poor rude mounds where the dead

Hot is the glare of the tropic sun,
But cold they lie in their slumber

Needless of fame that their names
