SCHOOL NOTES.

The write-up of the feld-day sports
at Alexandria last Nay as published
in the Alexandria papers was so fair
that it was copied entire by our local
papers. =
A chief purpose of high school ath-
letics is to encourage more fraternal
feeling among high SCHOOLS.
"a magazine article on the following sub
ject was read TO the school. and by them
reproduced from memory One of the re-
productions is printed below substa ntially
without criticism or correction.] \;
The Modern Skyscraper. ~
A builder once said, ga skyscraper
is steel bridge standing on end with
passenger cars running up and down
within it,
The first steel frame building was
finished eleven years ago. They are
built seven to thirty stories high.
The idea of constructing building
like bridge is said to have origin-
ated in Chicago; it has, indeed, been
called the ''Chicago construction.
There were so many houses in New
York and the land was SO expensive
that people could not afford to take
much land. The people that owned
the land said, 1--WE can't spread out,
so we must GO up" A single acre OF
land in New York costs seven million
dollars. If it were not for the ele-
vators, architects would not plan
buildings so high. They are never
built over seven stories high without
an elevator.
When building skyscraper the
builder first finds out how high it is
going to be. Sometimes, they dig
down seventy-fiye feet below thestreets
or three stories in the ground. They
even dig to solid rock.
The tallest inhabited building is ir
New York city. 1t can be seen from
Long Island and New Jersey. r. H
Robertson designed it. It is abou
twenty-nine stories high and ffty-foul
feet below the street. The height Of i
from the bottom to the top OF the flag
pole is five hundred one feet. 1t re
sembles q large steel box. It weight
about twenty-thousand tons. Their

For more than seven years the de-
ceased has been confined to her bed, a

deyoted husband has been her con-
stant attendant by night and by day,
never for any leng tn of time absent
ing himself from her bedside, antici-
p ating her every wish, and with
womanly delicacy supplying her every
want. Such beautiful deyotion and
self-sacrifice as has been manifested
by him will not fail of its ultimate re-
ward.
Mrs. Jerman was born at Scio
Allegheny county, N. Y, on Septem-
Der 80. 1882, and in 1884 moved to De
korah, Wis, wher, she was married
in 1856. Twelve years later she re-
moved with her husband to this city,
where they have eyer since resided.
Her brother, the late Morris Wilkins,
came here at the same time.
Previous to her illness, Mrs. Jer.
man was bright and active woman
of the kindliest disposition, and made
troops of warm friends. She was held
in universal esteem by all. Two
brothers and one sister survive her.

Two Velvet Babies.

An almost forgotten book, save
among scholars, is "Lays of the Deer
Forest" by two brothers, John So
bieski and Charles Edward Stuart. It
was written by men who lived all the
year round among the wild animals OF
the Highlands, and learned to love
them as only the familiar can. One
of the most beautiful descriptions of
these abundant nature-notes is that of
a doe, which was seen for several
mornings, "restless and anxious, list
ening and searching the wind, trotting
up and down, picking leaf here and
a leaf there" After her short and
unsettled meal, she would take frisk
round, leap into the air, dart into her
secret bower, and appear no more un-
til the twilight.
One day I stole down the brae among
the birches. In the middle of the
thicket there was group of young
trees growing out Of a carpet of moss
which yielded like a down pillow.
The prints of the does slender, forked
feet were thickly traced about the hol-
low, and in the centre there was a vel
vety bed, which seemed little higher
than the rest, but so natural that it
would not have been noticed by any
unaccustomed eye.
carefully lifted the green cushion,
and under its veil, rolled close to-
