when our old school-mate living in the
suburbs Of the city, insisted on having
US partake Of his hospitality, ve accepted
with pleasure.
A lovely day with cloudless sky, such
as is seldom seen in Alsace greeted us on
the appointed day, aud as We followed
the walk that leads through the we'll
kept grounds to the dwelling house, it
seemed to us We had never seen the
flowers bloom in such perfection, never
had the hundreds of trees which adorn
the grounds displayed their foliage to
better advantage. Getting closer to the
HOUSE, rustic benches presented an invit-
ing appearance; rocks piled up as II
nature bad left them there in one of her
stEeaks OF fancy and 6 fey venerable
trees close by made fitting prelude to
the entrance Of the home Of our hospita-
bic friend.
Received With marked affability by
Mrs. de b., the governess, We were intro
duced to the heiress, who also quite
young, seemed to enjoy the procedure,
and Were then ushefed into the apart
iinsuts adjoining the dining room and are
soon joined BY M. s., Wh9 has . few

In the Kansas City court of appeals
last week a decision was rendered in re-

National School OF Osteopathy. The
evidence was that this school had sold
to DIR. William Smith of Kirksville q
certificate that he had completed the
full course of study in that institution.
For this certificate Doctor Smith paid
$50. and it was shown that he had
called at the school but twice. Judge
Gill decided that the violation OF Law
was that the certificate was issued when
there had been no personal attendance
for the time specified by the Missouri
laws; this was a legal wrong, but he
held that it was not sufficient to war
rant the forfeiture of the schools fran
