Games as a Part of Education.

a year ago the school principals of
Stockholm, Sweden, were instructed to
encourage the gathering of pupils in
the public parks after school hours for
the purpose of playing outdoor games,
and several of the larger boys in each
school were officially selected to lead
in the games. The innovation proved
popular, and many boys who formerly
were in the habit Of spending their late
afternoons smoking cigarettes and
learning bad habits on the street cor
ners may now be seen each evening
playing baseball. football and other
Iathletic games. The board of education
of Stockholm thinks so well of the ex-
pertinent that it has recently appointed
three men teachers to the places of su-
perintendents of outdoor exercise. 1t
will hereafter be their duty to get to-
gether all the pupils who are willing at
the close of school and lead them to
the parks, where, under the auspices of
the board, games will be provided daily
during the season from 4 to p. m.

a Negro Diamond Expert.

John Woodson, of Philadelphia, who
enjoys the distinction of being one OF
the only two colored diamond experts
in the United States, is receiving con-
gratulations upon an unexpected piece
of good luck. Years ago he was in the
service of Col Charles Macarthur, a
gallant officer of the regular army,
who, for years was great traveller. In
May last Macarthur died, and under the
terms of his will, which has recently
been probated, it appears that he left
slS,0 900 to John Woodson, my faithful
body servant and companion for many
years. After leaving Colonel Near
thurs employment Woodson got into
the diamond business, and, with the
possible exception of a man employed
| by a New York diamond house, he is
now known throughout the trade as the
| best posted man of his race In the
Icountry on the value of precious stones

RESERVATIONS BEGUN.

George w. Smith has set an example
OF self-respect which his fellow direct
Ors Of the Grieve Publishing Company
may conclude to follow. He has resign
ed from all official connection with the
filthy Republican. Mr.. Smith was one
OF the earliest projectors of the paper;
he became Secretary of its directorate;
ne made it in a visible degree the
mouthpiece of the Republican organiza-
ton; and as such he could not escape
some responsibility for the nauseous
offences which the paper has been late
ly committing. 1t is shown by his res
ignation that he did not accept such
responsibility with good grace; and il
would not surprise us to hear that ey-
cry descent into the sewer which the
paper has made -sas preceded by his
earnest protest.
Another director said publicly in a
cafe few days ago that his most In
, Innate connection with the yellow
Journal was in trying to keep it out of
his house. In this endeavor he has
acted as other reputable fathers and
husbands are doing; for the sight of
the 1wilei Guide In ones yard is now
almost as much of a stigma as would
be the spectacle of a disreputable per-
son sitting as an invited guest upon
ones porch.

disguised interest in the fate of sala-

cious journalism here that the directors

sure of all eyes. 1t Is their move and
the public are waiting to see it made.
The pending question is, do these di-

paper or, are their hands tied? Are
they particeps crimin!s or mere lay

to the filthy Republican as decoy ducks

and some of them are aimed so high
that they fall within the sacred circle

What Hug hes Did for Boys.

The London Spectator. in the course
of a tribute to Tom" Hughes, speak
ing of his service to schoolboys, says:
He took away from good counsel it's
flavor of priggishness, from piety its
faint of sanctimoniousness, from the
virtues their coloring of separateness
and self-righteousness He convinced
schoolboys that it was possible to be
manly and truthful and pure and even
religious, and yet remain healthy
schoolboys still, with muscles in their
frames longing for exercise, and fer
ment in their hearts and vague aspira-
lions in their brains, all leading to con-
fused and over-rapid conduct"

Plenty of Asphalt.

The supply of asphalt at Trinidad
1 Will be exhausted some day" said an
expert in that line recently, but that
needn't prevent our continuing to lay
asphalt pavements. Out in Utah there
are beds of asphalt of many times the
magnitude of the Trinidad deposit
These beds are in the country around
! Fort Duchesne, on Government reser-
vations. The demands of civilization
, for that asphalt will some day cause
Poor 10 to move again. The man who
gets there first when the territory is
open to settlement will find a fortune
waiting for him"

To Can Shad.

The Columbia river canneries have
been. making experiments in the can
ming of shad, and have been so success
fut in their efforts that a new fishing
industry may be developed in the
northwest. The flavor of the shad is
universally recognized as delicious, and
the only objection to this fish is the
many small bones that exist in it. This
objection is entirely done away with in
the canned product. as the extreme
heat to which the can Is subjected dis

Sophia Collins, 4o inc street, was the winner i'll the afternoon and George Graves, j9 Fairyiew street, in the evening.

It should be remembered, too, that no one nav ing any connection with the bicycle manufacturing concern, the SaWteAe company. the local theaters or E. Il.
