schooIhou.e con.truction.

Every community deserves a first
class schoolhouse if it has the pluck,
energy and enterprise to get it. All the
money. however. shofld not be put into
the walls and roof of the building and
in the construction of those parts which
only delight the eye. Agood sum should
be devoted to plumbing. heating, ven
tilation and furnishing These are the
things that ought to be complete in
every schoolhouse. They are the abso
lutte necessities Of every well regulated
school building, because they make for
comfort. convenience, health. order
discipline and decency. Every school
room should be provided with wash.
stands and toilet rooms. Then there
will be no necessity for the children to
leave their rooms. The general rule
though, is to crowd these necessary ap-
purtenances into some partially lighted
corner in the basement, where they will
be permanent abomination and
blotch on decency and civilization.

Improvement societies.

The improvement societies have been
q feature in Oakland. Cal. for years
The first to be organized was the Sixth
Ward Property Owners Improvement
association in 1887. That section Of the
town was then suffering from moral,
social and political blight. One of the
public squares located in 1t was occu-
pied by q railroad track, Q rickcty
schoolhouse and the spare mains of the
water company. It was poorly severed
and lighted and received no attention
from the municipal government. The
association was organised to encourage
the improvement Of private property,
to elevate the moral tone Of the ward,
to remove an abandoned railroad track.
to restore the public square to public
uses, to improve the drainage and to &C.
cure good streets and sidewalks and a
new schoolhouse. Under its influence
the district was transformed. all OF the

they do not adopt them, for the
reason that the manufacturers and
workmen still demand out-of- date
designs and Id-fashioned appli-
ances. Moreover, English ma
chine tool practice is largely in
fluenced by government stipula-
tions, which are rarely cup to

which, up to the present, has been
encroached upon to a compar-
atively small extent by other ma
tionalities. American managers
work longer and think less OF their
holidays than European. They
associate with their workmen on a
more friendly and familiar basis
than is possible in European
shop. With few exceptions, the
managers of the leading machine
tool works in the United States
are successful mechanics and at
the same time good business men.

The Trades Carnival given a,
the opera house last Friday night,
under the auspicies Of the ladies oi
the Methodist church, was a great
success, artistically and socially as
well as financially. Every business
house, trade and occupation was
represented, and the opera house
was SO crowded that part of the
program had to be dispensed with.
There were over 700 people in
the building, and the grand march
for which the participants had been
trained by Mr.. w. S. Talbert, had
tn be given up. 0.
There were many rich and ele
giant costumes, but detailed de-
scrirtion of them is beyond our

vities ice cream and cake was
served until late hour. The

H LID IN HIGH ESTEEM

Written for The Evening Star.
Chief Justice Melville Weston Fuller is one
of the most accessible, unassuming and sin
cere of public men in Washington. One of
his daughters said recently that the chief
justice smokes the same priced cigars and
the same number Of them every day as he
did when a briefiesS barrister. He is exceed
tngly economical in his personal eXpendi-
lures. He dislikes to buy new clothes His
friends say he does not eat enough to keep
a child alive. His daily fare is a cup of
coffee for breakfast, a glass of milk and
two or three raw oysters for lunch and a
simple dinner preferably in the New Eng
land style. He is very fond of boiled cod
and pumpkin pie. He never walks. He
does not care for cards. In fact books are
his only passion. He reads everything
from philosophy and biographical works to
the most sensational detective stories He
goes to bed early, sometimes by O'clock
and reads. He has favorite author, but
finds something good in everything. He and
Justice Shiras sometimes find a great deal
of quiet amusepent in putting characters
of Dickens into the clothes of the people
who confront them Can you fancy the
chief justice sitting in the dim and solemn
chamber of our Supreme Court whispering
behind law book to his awe-inspiring as
scciate:
I'VE will now hear what Mr. Micawber
has to say"
The Chief Justices Parrot.
The chief justice is very domestic. He
loves and is loved by his children and
grandchildren as only an amiable great
man is loved. He is very fond of pets, at
one time keeping a number of rabbits and
chickens. His only pets now are Bonito
the green Mexican parrot, and Donald,
Scotch collie. Bonito had a predecessor,
like himself. the gift of Romero the Mex
lean minister One year the chief justice
insisted on taking him to his summer home
at Sorrento, and there Bonito took cold on
the pier. The chief justice pronounced il

them off to the steamer.
But here Kettle was not inclined to linger
unnecessarily He saw GRAIN the second
mate, and asked him chow much more cargo
there was to come off,
The last lighter head is alongside this

Grain looked meaningly at Murray. Am
l to take the foredecif sir?"
Yes; appoint younacting mate for f1rea
days, and Mr.. Murray goes to his room for
that time for getting into trouble ashore.
Now, put some hurry into things, CIR
than's needful." 81
Grain went forward about his business,
but Murray, who looked somewhat discon-
solate, Kettle beckdfled into the chart
house. He pulled out the pearl bag and
emptied its contents on to the chart table.

Discipline. my lad. This will probably
teach you to leave photographing to your
interiors in the future. There's no per-
suading me that it isn't that photograph
box that's not at the bottom of the whole
mischief. Hulio, there's the windlass going
already! I'll just lock up these pearls in
the drawer, and then must go on the
bridge. Err, and about going to your room,
my lad; as long as don't see you for three
days you can do much as you like. 1 don't
want to be too hard. But. as 1 said to old
Rad Ell Moussa, justice is justice, and disci-
plines got to be kept"
"And what about the rifles. sir?"
Captain Kettle winked pleasantly. Il
don't know that they are rifles. You see
the cases are down on the manifest as ma

as SUCH but I don't mind owning to you,
Mr.. Mate, that I hope old Rad finds out he

Looks like trying it," painted the little
sailor, from his work.
THAT'S dried camel,s dung they're burn

that's their only fuel. When the smoke
gets into your lungs it just tears you all

There was a sound of distant coughing
and then the misty question, What are
you working at?''
'Takir g-exercisev' Kettle gasped, and
after that communication between the two
was limited to incessant staccato coughs
More and more acrid grew the air as
the burning camers dung saturated it
further and further with smoke, and more
and more frenZied grew Kettles efforts
He felt that the hacking coughs were
gnawins away his strength, and just now
the utmost output of his thews was needed
He had given up his original idea of mining
passageway under the wall. Indeed. this
would have been labor of weeks with the
poor broken crock which was his only tool

managed to scrape out space underneath
one brick, and found that it was loosened,
and, with trouble, could be disodged; and
so he was burrowing away the earth from
beneath others to drop more bricks down
from their places. and so make a gang
way through the solid wall itself.
But simple though this may be in theory,
1t was tedious1y difficult work in practice
The bricks jammed even when they We're
undermined, and the wall was four bricks
thick to its further side Moreover every
alternate course was crosspinned, and the
workman was rapidly becoming as
phyxiated by the terrible reek which came
billowing in from the chamber beyond
St1il, with aching chest, and bleeding
fingers. and smarting eyes, Kettle worked
doggedly on, and at last got a hole made
completely through. What lay in the black
ness beyond he did not know; either Rad el
Moussa or the fireman might be waiting
to give him a coup de grace the moment
MS head appeared, but he was ready to
accept every risk. He felt that if he stay
ed IN the reek of that burning camels dung
any longer he would be strangled
The hole in the brickwork was scarcely
digger than fox earth, but, he was a
slightly built man. and with a hard strug-
gle ne managed to press his way through

his only remaining match, and saw that
