1.-THE young men of the city of New

'The young men Of the city of New
York." says Mr.. Collins, "are its glory
and hope. Any work or influence that
tends to elevate and strengthen them
in character and intellect deserves the
support and encouragement Of all good
citizens. This is what the truancy
department seeks to do"
The Compulsory Education law ap-
plies to private schools and parochial
schools, as well as public schools, and
all come under the care of the depart
ment of truancy. A boy or girl of
fourteen whose parents are in such a
position that the money he or she
would earn is vitality necessary may
apply to the Board of Health, obtain
an employment certificate and 60 to
work. Any factory, mercantile house
OF business firm of any description en-
p!oying child en- under sixteen without
such a certificate is amenable to the
Truant law.
The New York Truant School Is es-
tabllshed at No. 215 East Twenty first
street. Complaints are lodged here
with Mr.. Collins. A child committed
to the truant school can only be held
until the expiration of the school year.
However, q child sent to the Catholic
Protectory OF the Juvenile Asylum is
confined until the end Of his school in
struction.
Mr.. Collins by committing a boy to
the truant school reserves to himself
the right of parolling him In the course
of the scholastic year. Mr.. Collins
never holds out hope of such a pardon,
but it always comes without previous
announcement. For the sake of good
discipline the parole is never given
without the consent Of the principal
to take his former pupil back and the
knowledge Of the attendance officer,
and the whole school is made to feel
that the pupil has won the prize by his
own efforts. 4 probation card is given,

Proposed Celebration.

A national celebration Of the 2OOth
anniversary of the starting of a news
paper in America will take place IN
1904, owing to the suggestion of Mayor
Nichols IN an address before the State
Editorial Association at Wilkesbarre,
Penn. The association appointed
a committee to confer with the
associations of other States. and If
possible bring it about. In the course
of his address Mayor Nichols said:
John Campbell is the real founder
Of journalism in the United States.
"The Boston News Letter" was born
April "a, 1704, and existed until 171G.
During the first sixteen years of this
period it was the only newspaper
printed in the colonies. Fourteen
years prior to Campbell's venture Ben
iamin Harris issued one copy Of Pub
lick Occurrences" which was immedi-
ately suppressed by members OF the
Kings official family because Of a
distasteful paragraph. The beginning
of American journalism is truly an
event that ought to be commemorated
and it's author deserves a conspicuous
place in American history.

buttons and a chemisette of black and

tiny band of black panne at the
wrists, adorned with the gold buttons.
To give a ridiculous touch of summer

Mr.. Collins is looking forward to

for the new school. The plans for this

woman's Fancy Waist.

The waist with a shawl collar makes
1 marked feature of the seasons styles
while tucking in some form is al
most universally used. The very
charming May Manton waist shown in
the large drawing combines the two
in a most attractive manner, and is
singularly we'll adapted both to entire
costumes and odd waists. The model
is of white Liberty satin with trim
ming of lace, and is made over the
fitted lining, but white and cOlored
Batiste, organdy null, Swiss muslin
and all the similar materials offered
as we'll as soft silks and wool fabrics
are admirably adapted to the style
when the lining may be omitted.
The lining is simply shaped with
fronts and backs, only over it the
seamless back Of the waist proper is
arranged with the fulness drawn
down in gathers at the waist line. The
plastron made OF inserted tuckinS is
sewed to the right front lining and
hooked onto the left. under the edge
of the fronts. which arc plain ut the
shoulders and gathered ut the waist
line. The shawl collar is tucked in
groups, as indicated, finished and at
tached to the heck and fronts. The
sleeves arc in bishop style with the
fulness arranged in tucks that fall
free to form puffs at tic waists. When
the waist is made unlined the plastorn
is stitched to the right front and
hooked or buttoned over onto the left
beneath the collar. The standing COL
lar is joined to the neck of back and
plastron and closes at the left side.

species of the American Skunk.

There are distinct species of the
American skunk-the jet black and the
black and white striped. The latter
is regarded as one of the most beauti'
full creatures of the animal kingdom.
Its pelt is highly priced, as it makes
the prettiest of muffs, wraps and neck
boas. The jet black pelt is also high
ly priced, but is not so valuable as the
black and white striped. The pelt OF
the latter can always be sold for one
dollar. The oil from the skunk Is
worth fifty cents an ounce, and is
used in severe cases Of Group, colds
and kindred diseases. The oil does
not have the unpleasant aroma of the
