Their First Lesson.

A sister of the late +. Il. Roe tells an
amusing story OF the first lesson which
she and her brother ever received in
Roman history.
Among our most loved and honored
guests, during our childhood, was DIR.
Samuel Cox. for many years a promi-
nent clergyman i'm New York. At
times our conversation turned on his
tory. and / remember. on one occasion,
he asked Edward and me IL we could
give him the names of the first Roman
triumvirate.
At this period of our existence the
name Caesar" was associated exclu-
sively with an old colored man, whom
We often visited and who lived upon a
lonely road in the neighborhood. We
were vastly astonished. therefore, to
learn that the name had ever been
borne by a more illustrious person than
our dusky friend. but we listened en-
tranced to the story OF the rivalries of
Cesar and Pompey for the empire of
the world.
Unhappily the good doctor could not
remember the name of the third tri-
umvir. and the lack troubled him great
Iy. That night. about o'clock. was
startled by a loud knock on my bed
room door. and DR.. Cox called out:
Mary. are you awakef"
/ replied that 1 was-as indeed was
every one else I'm the house by that
time.
IT'S Crassus.' said the doctor, and
then he returned to his room greatly
relieved.
Neither Edward nor l ever forgot
that first lesson in Roman history

Gingerbread. sold in Paris as carly as

rye meal. honey. ginger and spices.
But the gingerbread of old New Eng
land that forms so prominent n part
of the staple diet has undergone many
an evolution since that time. A recipe
given by an old hcCSckeeper Is as fol-

lasses. three-qus rters of n cupful of
milk and three cupfuls OF -four. Add
TO this half n cupful of melted butter.

Army Officers In Italy.

In Italy the officers. at least, are I'm
maculate and picturesque. The COM
mon soldiers are, perhaps, not so i'm
pressive. They are short, stocky little
fellows. bow legged to a man. and in
any clothes would not present a very
martial appearance. But the officers
are big, fine looking men. and their
uniforms rival the women's hats in
brilliancy. The colors usei are very
unmilitary. pale blue and silver, gray
with green stripes, yellow and scarlet
and gold.
The Bersaglieri or sharpshooters.
with hats over one ear and a huge
bunch of cock feathers flying ont IN
the wind. are as striking as any,
though the Kings guard, with brass
helmets and horse tail plumes. are by
no means insignif cant.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

WOMEN COMMIT OUTRAGES.
Threaten Women Teachers With

ANOTHER CAR DYNAMITED.

ST. Louis, Mo-, June IA mob of
nuded a young woman who makes her
living by peddling lunches among en-
ployes of the street car line. When
the mob had stripped her to the waist,
one woman daubed her with paint,
while two others held her, the jeering
boys and women of the mob applaud
ing the outrage and throwing mud.
Three shop girls were attacked by the
same mob an hour later and they were
also partially denuded before escaping.
An organized committee" of women
began to visit the public schools this
afternoon, entering the school rooms,
accusing the teachers of riding on the
tabooed cars and threatening them
with bodily harm if they did SO again.
At the Mount Pleasant school, the
leader of this committee seized the
principal, Mrs. Tanning, shook her
violently and announced that she
would be tarred and feathered if
either she or any of her teachers rode
on the cars again.
Seven deputy sheriffs were arrested
and locked up in the hold-over at the
four courts. It is charged that they
refused to ride on Broadway cars for
the purpose of protecting the Transit
company's property. All of the men
stated as their objection to service that
they were tired of sleeping with non
union men and protecting property in
terests which, in their opinion, should
not be protected. They said they IN
