THE MOUNT VERNON HIGH school.

THE MOUNT VERNON HIGH SCHOOL.
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir; The fact that the three scholarships given
by cornell University TO Westchester County should
be Won by the graduates Of the Mount Vernon High
school after competition with many from all
over the county IS proof that the educational gys-
TEN OF this city has reached high standard and
IL is certainly gratifying the taxpayers that the
money spent for the public schools Of Mount Yer
non is not wasted
The present High School Of this city is one Of the
youngest in the State, and started in 1894 under
the provisions Of the Consolidated School act
adopted by the Legislature of that year It was
not until December, 1897 however that II became
High School in fact for the reason that ft.
curriculum was not up to the standard required bv
the Regents; Il was registered by the University
Regents as the academic department of Mount
Vernon Union School" in 1894. In August 1897 2
new High School Committee appointed which
soon after revised the courses Of study the re-
vision being approved by the Board OF Education
IN the fall Of that year. A copy was sent to tho
University Regents, with request to record the
1nstli0Jlon ar q high school. and on December
1o5f tne Regents approved insOectior

six. to give them good working majority. To say
that free silver is not involved in this election Is
frivolous 1 think this should be aired by the press
and the sooner the better. 1t may determine some

INDIA EXPORTING NO WHEAT

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Certain faIse impressions have been Ia+eI,
given circulation regarding the expectation Of
wheat from India during the present famine The
facts. however, found in the weekly cshIA re-
turns Of the New-York Produce Exchange are that
there has been no export whatever of wheat from
India since the week ending October q 1890 az
which date the famine officially announced h.,
the Government Of India
From The Government Gazette" Of BOMBAY
Issued month ago, 1t appears that more than two
billion pounds Of rice and other food grains were
imported from Burmah and elsewhere for dis,i
button in the famine area between August 900
and March g. 1850 This does NOT include the Ia Tgs
Importation Of grain into the famine area ThrnneS

WAY TO SAVE THE SHADE TREES
HIS CITY.
the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Observing many references to the loss of
shade trees IN New-York, I venture to call atten-
ton to the method we have adopted here which
however. may not be TO you. yet may be Of
benefit to your readers who have not this inforna-
ton.
The method referred to is TO give abundant water
TO the trees by placing around one eight sec
tons Of three inch soft tile two in each quarter
OF the circle, standing end, on top Of the
other, and sunk an inch below the surface of
a u1er is first used TO ascertain the location of
the roots and post aUger OF size for the purpose
nCres the holes for the sections pipe: then
AZ ram falls or the lawn is sprinkIed the user of
1ne nose is instructed to that the tile Is 6lIe6

The Mystery OF the Mist.

The Mystery of the mist is calling me
Across the marshes silyery solitudes,
By phantom iniets and grey bordering woods
To surging silence Of hidden sea-
swathed in a twilight haze of amethyst,
Beyond the salty sedges lies the verge
Oh immemorial oceans endless surge,
Entranced by the still Mystery Of the mist.
Her hair, fos-woyen, CLEANS across my gaze,
touch her garment by the silent sea,
And would behold the face of Mystery,
Ciose-clouded in the tender purple haze.
Low whispered voices Of her wildering spell
Allure me softly to the tremulous brink
Of waters wide and strange, where souls may
sink
In waves mist mantled, arms invisible.
If I could sway the curtain of the night,
And pierce the vapory darknesses that rise
To hide the revelation in her eyes,
Soft quiyering on the very marge Of sight;
If l might DESCENDANT the spelIbound space,
To see beyond the veil that may not move
For mortas; II my soul and sense could prove
The beauty of her mist-enfolded face;
Perchance her loving penalty would be
To lay darkness on my earthly sight,
And lead me forth to lands of other light
Far ous beyond these marshes by the sea.

OF Liberty.

What magic have our shores. that men repair
Hitler every ship that threads the seas
The Russian from his SHOWS, the Piedmontese,
The dweller by the banks OF Pc and Ayr?
Are not the stars bright, the skies IS fair,
That glass themselves in Yolga's wave and
Hath spring no singing aocks? Doth not the
breeze
In summer evenings watt sweet doors tnere
As it doth here? Ay, but a spirit dwells
Within our land that long ago hath fed
These ancient COUNTRIES Liberty I is sse
That paints with wonder all our woods and
deIls,
And with an aureole rings each mountains
head,
And writes morning freshness on the sea
Within this land 4 spirit sleeps OF might,
And will not wake, though it has slumbered
long.
Would it were mine to rouse it with songi
Alas not such my hope, TO touch with light
That darkened brow, to win those eyeba!ls sight.
For more melodious tongues and souls more
strong
Before those listless ears have suffered wrong,
And vany surg, and vanished into night.
Yet men in former days remembered well,
Reheld those Orbs AS with twin lightuings glow,
And that great brow illumed when Sumter fell
Or Lincoln spoke. Dear God, what voice must
be,
What iron trump of war or hate must blow,
To wake again the soul OF Liberty?

EOla.

Say can you tell me the way to Eola2
There where Apollo's god-nelody rang
Into the sky from his harp as he sang.
All the day long do | search for Eola.
High on the mountain, deep in the dale,
Until the daylight in heaven grows pale.
Then do lie down to dream of Eola.
Haunted at night by the longing bear.
Even though sleeping yearn to be there
There far away in this sacred Eola.
Where his great secret of heavenly sound
Woven of music and thought can be found.
Once on the undulate breast of Eola.
While he was playing at tending his sheep,
Phoehus Apollo sank into a sleep.
And on rock. to this day in Eola.
Rested Apollo his pulsating Tyre.
Filled it fell from his hands with his fire.
Thus as he lay the breast Of Eola.
Into this stone from his harp-strings there crept
Some Of his melody. while yet he slept
Oh, could find 1t, this heart of Eola.
Touch its mute lips. that they culver and yield
Passions of harmony ages have sealedi
Say. can you tell me the way to Eola2
There where Apollo's god-melody rang
Into the say from his harp as he sang.

One wonders where S. R. Crockett gets
the time to write so many books. We hear
it suggested that he is an adept in writ
ing short s.ories with both hands while
dictfting novel to a stenographer, his
feet meanwhile pedaling out a grist Of
Scotch dialect. The thought of his prolific
pen reminds me of the remark of one of the
first writer's of England, who picked up
a copy of the illustrated News" not long
ago. Thank God!" he cried. Thank
God, Here is a copy Of the illustrated
London News which has no serial by
Crockett running in it," When all is said
and done. however, there are few writer's
who can equal Crockett in his short stories
of clerical life or in his Scotch historical
romances. l learn that another series of
short stories. something like The Stickit
Minister" in character, will be issued Sc
rally this fall.
Several iritators of Anthony Hope are
in the field with novels of petty Austrian
kingdoms and the plots and counter-plots
for their thrones Among the best OF
these is Harold McGrath. a young writer
of Syracuse, y. Y, who has surpassed his
''Arrs and the Woman" in "A Puppet
Crown" which will see light in serial
form this fall.
That historical tales are not dropping
very much may be inferred from the fact
that the sales Of our American Revolution
romances continue heavy and the popu-
larity OF new ones just being issued.
Among these and of books yet to come,
THE Helmet Of Navane," running in the
Century" seems destined to fiji high
place.
The guesses for the Hall OF Fame, in
which twenty-five publicists, editors, and
authors are to be included, are of more
pertinent interest, now that the decisions
will soon be made. The Brooklyn Eag.e"
and the Minneapolis Times have just
held 2 voting contest which brings out
Longfellow. Washington Irving, and En-
erson well TO the front, with Hawthorne,
Bryant. and Cooper not far down, and Poe
following.
1t is noteworthy that a recent contest
held at Princeton University brought out
practically the same result. Longfellow
being the most read of any well known
American author
Among the new periodicals to be launch
cd this month are the Red Letter Maya
zine" In New York; The Fire Lance in
London, under the editorship of Clement
Scott. the dramatic critic; and the Lit
erary Collector monthly, to be devoted
to the interests of bibliophiles more or less
rahid.
