A Latin (?) Sentence.

1t is the custom of teacher in the
Central High school to have her
scholars write their Latin translations
on the blackboard each pupil writing
one. The space for such work is small,
consequently the sentences are often
so crowded that it is difficult to find
the one being read by the pupil whose
turn it is to recite. 1t greatly taclll-
tates matters if he designates the part
of the board on which his sentence
may be found by few words. as
"front board" or "by the window.
Not long ago a boy was the innocent
cause of a great deal of laughter by
interposing the words ION the side
board" after he had read the first lew
words of his sentence, which were:
''The Helvetians were fighting fierce
ly," making it appear, "The Helve-
tians were fighting fiercely on the
side board. d."-Cleveland Leader.

Famous Now York Gambler Who II
Now Pauper-Joseph Jewell Once
Had Money to Burn, bat Now He
Wears Striped Clothes.

On Blackwell's island, arrayed in the
striped uniform with which New York
brands her citizens for the crime of
being poor, Joseph Jewell, who once
had money to burn, occupies place.
Fifteen years ago Jewell, famous as
Gambling Joe," could afford to lose
$4,000 at single game of poker. To-
day, the sum total of all he expects
from the world is clean place to die.
Jewell is the scion of a distinguished
family. His cousin, Marshall Jewell,
was postmaster general under Grant,
and later ambassador to Russia. An
other relative, Pliny Jewell, was the
intimate friend Of Harriet Beecher
Stowe.
Jewell attributes his misfortunes to
his reformation and his giving up
gambling as a profession. Fifteen
years ago he conducted several of the
leading gambling houses in New York
and piled up fortune. His brothers

KINDERGARTEN INFLUENCE.

-------
It ls Particularly Beneficial to an Only
Child.
Writing of the advanced edu-
cational ideas put in vogue at Quincy,
Mass, by Francis Wayland Parker, e.
W. Krackowizer says in the Boston
Herald:
For example, the child from the
moment of entering the true kinder
garten recognizes himself to be a re-
sponsible member of that little COM
munity. But he quickly appreciates,
too, that his responsibility is limited
by his ability. He receives no partic-
ular inhibitions or instructions; no
thou-shall-nots' or 'thou-shalts'; but
is Immediately accorded abundant op-
portunity for contributing to the COM
mon veal. He plays with his mates,
he studies with them. Hence he feels
not only with, but also for them and
finds his highest joy in serving the
community which in turn seems all the
time to be concerned about nothing so
much as his own welfare and happi-
ness On the other hand the typical
only child is trained into priggish sell
fishness by the misfortune of his isola-
ton. No relations to others are estab-
lished in his case except those of su-
premacy; from each contest he usually
emerges the temporary victor, and
therefore the permanent victim. Now
let this unhappy, selfish tyrant, enter
the kindergarten. He sees the other
children at work and play. He segre-
gates himself. and finds himself ignor-
ed He interferes and discovers him
self to be marplot. Meanwhile, the
good kindergartener contents herself
with permitting him thus to observe
and to sulk without apparent restric-
tlon; and soon the good which is COM
mon to all human nature begins to
twine it's tendrils about his heart. He
longs for companionship, and even
more, he longs for just recognition
OF his own ability and usefulness. And
thus he apprehends the fact that he
must become a member of this living
organism subject to all the other men,
bers, and yet indispensable to each. He
yields of his own free will and his un-
happiness ceases. And by this object
lesson he becomes duly socialized so
far as the childgarden is concerned"

A GREAT NATURALIST.
Sketch Of Alexander AgassiA Opponen

Sketch Of Alexander Agassiz, Opponent
of Evolution Idea.
Alexander Agassiz, naturalist, was
born in Switzerland in 1885. He ac-
4uired considerable learning before
coming to the United States, in 1S49.
Graduated from Harvard in 1855, one
of the brilliant cluster of that decade,
he taught for time in young ladies'
school which his father directed He
studied chemistry and engineering and
on the coast survey. Returning in
1860, he became assistant in the muse
um OF zoology at Cambridge, whose
department of zoology and geology in
the Lawrence Scientific school had
been created 10 honor his father. Most
emient of American scientists of his
time, Alexander Agassiz rose to be the
best authority on certain forms of
marine life A copious and absorbing
writer he stood until his death first
of purely scientific opponents of evolu
tion of species. His writings on en-
bryology include Investigations show
ing that the ovum of any species if
normally developed produces the same
species. He carried on the Natural
History of the United States" begun by
his father. All the European scientific
societies honored themselves by plac-

has made pleasant impression on all
those who have been privileged to
meet him. He is greeted as compa-
triot rather than a foreigner, and can,
indeed hardly be classed as a stranger
to this country, since he visited it in
boyhood and has kept in touch with
his American relatives, the family Of
his maternal grandfather, the late Sen

from discussing the Boer cause it is

WHY MOUTHS ARE DEFORMED
Smokers Are Not Careful Selecting
Pipes.

PlpeS.
Physicians throughout the country
generally shave been called upon to
treat large number of cases of spithe-
leoma of the lips. This dsagreeable
complaint is charged almost entirely
to the pipe-smoking habit. Some sur
geons are of the opinion that the imi-
tation of amber used in the manufac-
ture of mouthpieces for cheap pipes
has much to do with the alarming in
crease in the disease, while all of them
agree that the majority Of cases are
directly traceable to the short clay
pipes smoked by thousands of labor
ers. The hospital records show that
over so per cent of all the cases treated
were laboring men over 40 years OF
age The heat brought close to the
lips by the short-stemmed clay pipes
causes a small blister to form, and the
smoker promptly picks it and keeps
on smoking Then a hard, knotty
wart forms where the blister first ap-
peared, and soon the whole mouth is
involved and sometimes the tongue
swells to enormous size. The warty
growths multiply until the chin is en-
tirely covered and the mouth protrudes
far beyond the nose. The surgeons
cut away the entire growth and fash
ion an entirely new mouth out of flaps
drawn from the cheeks and so much
of the chin as may remain unaffected
The operation is one of extreme deli
cacy, and when properly executed the
patient is inflicted with fish mouth,
that gives very funny expression to
the face

A Deaconness Home.

1t became known to the public yes
terday that the Holloway mansion in
Bridgeport had been offered 70 the
Methodist church as deasoness home.
The gift comes from the owner, Mrs.
Rev. Houston, of Pasadena, Gala, Mrs.
Houston was formerly Miss Ida Hol
loway, daughter OF w. w. Holloway.
and at his death this beautiful man
sion was willed to Mrs. Houston. The
property is valued at $4,000 to $4,000.
Some time ago it was learned of the
intention of Mrs. Houston, and the gift
was talked over by Rev. J. S. Secrest
and DR.. J. L. Sooy, and as it has not
been learned whether an endowment
goes with the gift, and If there is no
endowment the home will be kept up
by the Steubenville and Wheeling dis
trict conferences. 1t is very likely that
some endowments will be made by
some benevolent people in this vicinity.
A deaconess home is purely chart
able institution and is similar to q
hospital. The deaconesses do similar
work as the Sisters of Charity, looking
up cases of disease and distress, which
are cared for at the home They also
train nurses and have a special course
for missionaries. The work of dea
coness is a noble work, and such a
home in this vicinity is great need,
and will receive universal support from
ALL This gift of Mrs. Houston
is certainly a noble one, and the Meth
odist church should feel proud Of it.
