And the light tinkling of the foo khaloom,
Faint echoing from the tullohs In the kayf,
Filled him with dole. The Tarboosh on hit

Gay with the kosooms Of the hill. he DOTTED,
And to the dryhy with the gombas on.
He gave the shadoof that his father wore.
He leaned a space upon his khoja khul,
With long. deep-breathing rest.
Then. once again,
Journeyed across the desert, though his soul
Tainted within him. Weary and sore Of foot
He to:led to reach the isle Of waving palms
That marked the fair oasis and its, peace.
His heart grew stronger than the leopard'i
When meath his feet he felt the spring turf
Beside the palm-crownsd well he knelt and
drank.

James A. Garfield, who was an enthusiastic
advocate OF the higher education OF the
deaf Il was said that he and Samuel
Randall who were personal friends found
in this institution the one subject over
which they could reconcile their political
differences sufficiently TO work together.

The Kendall school.
From the college to the school is a
short step literally. but a long one in ref
erence to methods of management. The
two are entirely separated, even to the
extent OF separate chapel exercises, and
the discipline Of the school is necessarily
more rigid Here in the academic and
primary departments. the most difficult
work is done: the task of opening up com
municatiOn with the mind and laying the
foundation for a career. If a teacher at
the end Of the second year OF a pupils
school life finds that the latter knows as
much as a child just entering the first
grade of the public school he feels that
the battle is two-thirds won. The primary
department is in charge of Mr.. Melville
Ballard, who has been in the school many
years Unlike the children in most pri-
mary grades, the little ones at Kendall
Green are guided in their first cropping
after knowledge by a sure and steady
hand. and not by inexperienced teachers
Just out OF school themselves. Mr.. Bal

He has a large collection of toys and 9TH

OF age, was recently sent to the black

FOR EXPOSITION VISITORS.
Lectures. Guides. and Linguistic Spe-
cinIists Offered.

(From the Pail Mall Cazette)
A prospectus informs me that a school
has been founded for the purpose OF teach
ing the tourist to derive a maximum of
educational profit from his visits 10 the
exposition. The prospectus points out
that the exposition. in the opinion OF NJ.
Alfred Picard-and he ought to know, since
it is his work-should be regarded as the
philosophy and synthesis of the century.
This being the case it can scarcely be con-
sidered an insult to the intelligence of the
average visitor if it be surmised that there
is no slight risk Of his MISUNDERSTANDING
the scope of the monster show. and taking
it to be something far less transceudantaL
1t was. perhaps, desirable therefore. that
a school should be opened in which per-
sons eager for self-imprOyement may OBJ
tain satisfaction and the impenitent pleas
ure seeker learn the error of his ways
1t is impossible to read the prospectus
without a little subdued hiIarity; it shows
so touching a confidence in the craving for
instruction Of the coming crowds. But the
school would seem to be a quite serious
institution. NJ. Leon Bourgeois, a former
and a future Prime Minister. has con-
scented to be its president A hint that
the work of the school is supported TO some
extent by voluntary subscriptions is fol-
lowed by the very natural intimati0n that
the instruction afforded is not gratuitOus
As to its nature. the object of the founders
OF the school is Ito inculcate the interest
Of material objects or Of the thought Of
which they are the reflection" This end
is to be attained by lectures, few Of them
of a discreetly general, oratOrical and
solemn order. but as a rule familiar and
chatty.
The lectures will be supplemented by
prOmenades through the exposition. under
the conduct OF guides of unquestiOned
competence. and often. indeed. of high re-
nown" These peripatetic luminaries viii
expatiate on every variety of material OBJ
ject in presence OF the corpus deficit. It
will occur at once to a host OF intending
students to enquire with anxiety whether
a knowledge of French will be necessary TO
profit by these ''leeOns- guides" The fear
may be dispelled with a word. repre-
sentative assortment Of specialists talking
all reasonable tongues. has been engaged
In short, the programme Of the school Is
most complete. and so attractive that the
tourist will cease TO have the least excuse
for being decoyed into the frivolous spec
tscles Of the Rue de Paris or the Champs
de Mars.

The college is provided with physical

which has, besides its works on the edu-
cation of the deaf, some historical works,

The pupils are encouraged in good reading,
as this gives them conversational forms

to express his thoughts in the simplest
