HOME FOR sCHOOL-TEACHERS.
Switzerland Will Found a Place
where They Can Spend Their
Vacations.

The Swiss educators are taking ac-
tive measures looking toward the
founding OF a lehrerheim, or home for
school-teachers during their holidays,
upon the model of the admirable eisen-
bahner-heim, or home for railway
workers. OH the Grubisbalm, upon the
slopes of the Rigi. midway between
Vitznau and the Kaltbad, says for
eipn correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle. The hotel on the Grubis-
balm, which owes its initiative entirely
to a committee of workers on the
Swiss railways. has now been open for
three or four years. Any railway man,
or member of d railway mans family.
may be excellently lodged and boarded
there at cost of three to three and
one-half francs day. The economical
question is exhaustiyely treated in a
little pamphlet circulating amongst
the teachers in the Swiss common
schools. If the railway workers can
"help themselves" to so successful a
cooperative hotel and pension. why
cannot their educators DO the same
asks Herr Walt. the writer of the pam
phiet. The railway workers home on
the Rigi not only pays its expenses
but at the end of the last season showed
profit of 1900 francs, which is en-
pected to increase as il becomes more
widely used. The German school-mas
ters in Siiesia have already provided
themselves with a similar cooperative
hotel and pension in the Schreiberhau

ALL WANT TO BE HEROES.
Rivalry Among British Soldiers
UpOn the Veidt In South
Africa.

A great rivalry exists among the
private soldiers in South Africa for the
honor of performing the most heroic
deed of the campaign. The most dra-
matte feat of the war, perhaps. was the
hosting of the union jack over Pre-
toria, and it is interesting to note that
this was don, by man who is often
described as the richest man in Eng
land-the duke of Westminster. 1t is
the first notable thing the young duke
has done since his accession, and he
well deserved his reward--a cigar
handed to him by Lord Roberts on be-
half of a lover of the weed at home.
The flag at Bloemfontein was hoisted
by Viscount Acheson, son of Lord Cos
port, though the honor has been
claimed for Lord Herbert Scott. The
first man to enter Mafeking on its re-
lief was "Karri" Davies, who received
6 so from a Liverpool merchant as his
reward. 1t is pleasing to know that
Davies is an Australian. as was the
first man to enter Bloemfontein, Mr..
Donohoe. a correspondent. The first
colonial V. c. was Trooper Morris. So
far nobody has succeeded in winning
the e25 offered in Melbourne to the
man who would first lay his hands on

SIBERIAN CITIES.
Though ProsperinK They Never

pressing.

Perhaps the most curious feature Of
all Siberian cities and villages is the
quiet of them. says Anna y. Benjamin.
in Ninslee's. The American finds IL de-
pressing. The places seem half dead.
vet they are alive and thriving. Our
conception of prosperity in new cities
is so associated with the clang of the
trolley, the smoke of the factory. the
| weird writings of the steam siren. and
the hustle Of the population. that il il
hard for us to realize that prosperity
may exist in place of dead calm.
Vladivistok. Khabarovsk. Blagovest-
chensk and Irkutsk all present the
same features. Blagovestchensk, in
the heart Of eastern Siberia, on the
junction of the Zeya river with the
Amur. is. perhaps. the most interest
ing city. On the central square of the
city. where the market is. face two
large department stores which for size,
beauty of architecture and variety OF
stock would do credit TO any American
city. The bank buildings. the museum.
and other business and government
houses. are of brick or stone. Good
schools have been established, so that
it is possible for a boy here, as well as
| in all Siberian cities. to receive n thor
ough education. In Nladivostok a
training school for eastern diplomats
turns out graduates accomplished in
oriental languages to begin their ca
reers as Interpreters or secretaries of
| legations.

HINTS FOR BRIDE AND GROOM.

Where the couple will spend their
honeymoon is supposed to be known
only to themselves and the best man.
Silver is engraved with the initials
of the brides maiden name. The
date is often added.
The first call the bride makes after
her marriage is upon her mother-in-
law.
All lingerie should have embroi-
dered upon it the brides initials in
fine white linen thread.
There is an old superstition that the
bride must not look in the mirror
after she is dressed for her wedding;
If so she looks into sorrow.
Invited guests who cannot attend
q wedding should send their cards and
regrets.
Broadcloth will be the favorite ma
terial for the going-away costume
and brown more popular than gray.
A bride wears no jewelry except the
bridegroom's gift.
A widow must never marry In
white; neither should she have brides
maids or a maid of honor.

CARRIED GRANDMA'S PICTURE
Prince Henry of Prussia, Who Aston
iShed the Captain of q Trad
ing Ship.

Some time ago when Prince Henry
of Prussia. who. as all know. is the
grandson of Queen Victoria, was at
Hong-Kong. the captain of British
trading steamer sailing out of that port
was walking around the craving dock
in which the princes flagship was be-
ing brushed up. when he saw an officer
standing near the gangway leading
from the quay to the ship. and being
curious to have a look over the YES
sci. he saluted with a "GOod-morning,
sir" and asked if he had any objec-
ton to his having a walk through the
ship.
Not at ALL" replied the officer. ~
shall be delighted to escort you round
After showing him over the different
parts of the warship the officer took
the captain into his cabin. He offered
him a cigar and a glass of wine, and
they had quite friendly chat together
Before leaving the captain happened
to glance round the cabin and saw
a photo of Victoria. Said he to the
officer:
81 notice you have photograph OF
the queen of England"
"Yes." said the officer, ''I always
carry one of my grandmother's pic

AN UNASSORTED LOT.

It is said that no fewer than $780,
600 books for the blind are borrowed
annually from the free libraries in
this country.
Though Alabama has fine old capi-
tol, set on hill and rich in historical
associations, she has no governors
mansion. The state mas begun to
consider the advisability of remedying
this condition of affairs.
Mr.. Schalkburger. who is acting as
president of the Transvaal in place
of President Kruger. is said to have
the personal appearance of an Ameri-
can Methodist preacher. but is born
fighter. He began as an assistant field
cornet in 1861 and arose to be COM
mandant.
The largest uncut diamond in the
world was the Braganza, owned by
the king of Portugal. 1850 carats. Its
cutting reduced it to 367 carats. but
even thus it retains its supremacy;
and the next largest is the Star of
the South. 254 carats.
1t has been stated that Mrs. Louis
Botha. the wife of the Boer general,
is a descendant of Robert Emmet.
the Irish patriot. This is mistake.
She is a descendant of Emmet's elder
brother. Thomas Adds Emmet, who
was one of the United irish directory
in 1898 and was punished by the gov
ernment merely by confinement in
Fort George for three years.
No more artistic. inexpensive mount
for a black and white can be found
than that often used by artists-a
sheet of blotting paper. A collection
of prints on thin paper of some choice
Salon pictures are backed in this
manner and fastened with small
brass-headed nails against a plain
| wall with admirable effect and in
view for constant enjoyment. A con-
siderable assortment of color may be
had in the paper, and a little care
| chooses the tint that will best set off
the picture.
