The greatest fortune any mother can

fortune every mother may endow the
child if she will The child's stock of
health is what the mother supplies. The

An ExnIonation of the Decrease.

According TO statement OF the gross postal
receipts for August, just issued by the Post
Office Department, Washington, with six OTTER
large cities out OF ifty in the Union, is cred
ited with decrease as compared with August,
1893 The postal receipts of this city in August,
1885, were s4S, ,sS5. The receipts for August,
1899, were siS,072, decrease OF S5.sl3; per-
centage, IL g. The cause OF this decrease in the
gross postal receipts of this city last month,
compared with August 1895 is found in the fact
that Washington thirteen months ago contained
floating population OF from 30 600 to 10000,
mostly soldiers, which population did not ex-
ist this year. Postofice officials say that elm.
mating this large abnormal increase from The
postal figures Of August, ls9s, Washington would
show an increase this August over the August
OF 1898. The other large cities which show q
similar decrease are Buffalo. n. Y; Detroit

More than 10000 school children of the
District are interested in the fact that the
public schools will begin their sessions
next Monday morning a. o'clock. After
a vacation Of three months, teachers and
pupils will resume their educational work.
For a month or more past the school
authorities have been making ready for
the beginning of the session. and the Of
fee OF the superintendent of schools has
been the scene of much hard labor. Every
thing is as nearly ready for the resumption
as it is possible to make it at this time.
1t is expected that there will be a ma
terial increase in the attendance this year
over that of last, although no overcrowd--
ing is anticipated except possibly in GER
tain sections where it was planned to have
new schools ready for use which, owing to
the rise in the cost of building materials,
the District Commissioners were unable
to complete The new building at Rose
dale and the one at the corner of South
Carolina Avenue and Second Street, which
We're expected to have been completed and
ready for occupancy, are not finished, and
it is probable that 1t will be necessary to
hold halliday sessions for the pupils of the
lower grades. This practice will be fol-
lowed until the schools in question can
be completed Several hundred of the pu-
pills whose homes are outside Of the Dis
trict and whose parents are not engaged in
business in the District will be barred
from entrance into the schools here unless
they pay the tuition prescribed by the Dis

fix the rate of tuition.

The Schedule of Fees.

The schedule fixes the tuition for each

enth Grade, S25; Sixth Grade, s23; Fifth
Grade. $40: Fourth Grade, $40 Third Grade,
$17; Second Grade, SIG; First Grade SIS.
In making the estimate, the cost of the
books furnished, the cost OF heating and
maintaining the school building without
reference TO the expense of making re-
pairs and the cost of instruction were con-
sidered and the rate fixed accordingly. 1t
is probable that the Commissioners will
adopt the schedule as submitted by the
