HYGIENE IN THE SCHOOLS.
Rules as to Contagious Disease Should
BE strict.

From Youths Companion.
Many people who are scrupulously careful
of the health of their children in the home
are strangely Indifferent to the conditions
prevailing in the school. Hygiene in the
public schools is a subject that is yearly
receiving more and more attention, with
the result that new school buildings in the
larger towns and the cities conform gen.
orally to sanitary standards, but this is not
true of many of the old buildings and Of
many school houses in small places. 1t is
the duty of all parents to know how far
they fall short. and whw and what is need
ed to make them healthy.
The rules as to contagious diseases
should be more strict, or, rather more
strictly enforced, and parents should re-
member that danger may Turk in COM
plants often considered of slight impor-
lance. Whooping cough, for instance, is
thought by many people to be unm-
portant and necessary trouble of child
hood which it is better to get over and
have out of the way. They do not know,
or they forget, that while whooping cough
is not a dangerous disease for older chill
dren it is dangerous and often fatal to
very young children, and is easily carried
by the children attending school to the
babies in the nursery.
Too much attention cannot be paid to the
question of light in the school room Many
children are made premature wrecks from
unrecognized eye strain and school visitors
may often small, helpless children sit
ting blinking in the sunlight which streams
through a large window in front of them
making frowning efforts through the glare
to read from a blackboard and using up
in few hours the nerve force of week
Light should be abundant and should come
from the left side, SO that no shadow is
thrown on slate book, as is the case
when the light comes from behind or from
the right
Another most important matter is the
properly constructed desk, which will pre-
vent undue STOPPING, contortions or impede
ment to correct breathing.
In considering the subject of ventilation
there should, of course, be some system in
every school room by which air can be
introduced from outside and then allowed
to escape without using the windows which
cannot always be depended upon on ac-
count Of drafts and storms. These and
many other points should be insisted upon
by parents.

NEW LEGATION s

THE BENEFACTRESS. By the author Of ELIZA
beth and Her German Garden" New York:
The Macmillan Company Washington: Bren-
tanos.
1t is evident that the unidentified author
of Elizabeth and Her German Garden" has
decided 70 remain anonymous for another
period, perhaps for all time despite the
high premium which has been put upon a
disclosure Of personality by the great popu-
larlty OF that charming book. THE Bene-
factress'' discloses the fact that this mys-
FERROUS parsonage is versatile and that her
literary quality is Notwithstanding
the feminnity OF the writer. This is a novel
OF strong individuality. Save for a too ab-
rupt ending 1t is eminently satisfactory as a
story. 1t relates to the experiences of a
young Englishwoman who, after reaching

happy women. Her scheme is ridicuousIy
I-topian and her awakening is sad Rut n
leads her to marriage with the man she
needs to complement her life. There Is dis
tiuct character in the story, with a keen in
sight into the German nature and a plot of
considerable intricacy. There are too MANY
German phrases left in the text which
might as well have been rendered into Eng

rect composition.

RAILWAY GROWTH.

American Industry.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
When we consider that there are over
eleven billions of dollars invested in steam
railways in this country and that transpor-
tation outside of agriculture is the largest
| industry in this country, it is with aston
iShment that some persons will read that
the first man who ran a locomotive in this
country is just dead in the poor house
We are willing to admit that there is a
great controversy as to the actual engineer
who performed this service but the man
in question was certainly one of the pio-
neers.
Those who have reached only three score
and ten cannot look back to a time when
there was not considerable DEVELOPMENT of
railways in this country. So soon as they
were seen to be practical there was d rush
of capital to these enterprises, most of
| which were aided by the nation states or
| municipalities. In 1850 there were about
| ten thousand miles of railway either bullt
was contemplated: The longest line
| was the Erie, which was completed the
| next year and was considered a wonder
since it reached from the port of New York
| to Lake Erie. For twenty years more rail
| ways were built much as subui ban trolley
| roads are now, and not until some wears
| after the civil war did the genus of Com
| modore Vanderbilt exercise itself 1, tha

and quicker to go to Chicago than

We buy anything we want at a
low price simply because distance has
been practically annihilated. 1t is Of inter-
est at this time to remember that one iIfa

with one of these old-fashioned people, he
would restore himself to normal condition
by telling tree or two or splitting cord
of wood
With the diffusion of knowledge, however,
the popularity of the boiled dinner began
to wane. Little by little people who studied
the Family Doctor and other interesting
the human digestive organs were for some
reason or other becoming more complex and
delicate than they had been, and that con-
seauently they should not be called upon to
perform the work that they had done
through generations of vigorous and long
lived ancestors.
So the boiled dinner was practically
abandoned in the homes of the fastidious,
and only the vulgarly healthy people of this
country have consumed 1t of late. There is
now, however, a movement to restore its
popularity. and, strange to say. the move
ment has been fnaugurated in Boston,
where dyspepsia has been endemic for near
ly century.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Time was when every well-regulated fam

ner once a week. That was before the
study of physiology had been introduced in
the public schools and before the children
around the table knew or cared what effect
ham, cabbage, carrots or onions would
have upon their digestive organs. In fact
it was before the people in general had anv-
thing like clear idea as to what their d.
gestive- organs were.

A BIT or BUSINESS.
Turned ii.s Rivaps Purchase to
His own Account.

A short time ago the manager Of
one Of the biz stores in this city
found that a rival establishment had
just received large consignment Of
a very fine quality OF lace. Needless
to say, that lace was also very ex-
pensive.
lie Immediately sent one of his
subordinates over to the rival store
with instructions to buy half yard
Of the aforesaid lace. This he hung
up in conspicuous position with a
very legible price mark attached,
and the price marked was very rea-
sonable. Then he gave some in
structions TO the girls behind the
counter and retired to await deyel-
opments.
Two shoppers soon happened
along that way, and the piece OF
lace caught their attention.

exclaimed one of them.
But instead of answering her di-
rectly her companion graspcd her
by the arm and whispered eXci.odly,
"Look at the price" !"
In answer to their eager questions
the shopgirl answered nonchalant-
ly:
"That there lace? ! don't think
we've got any more. Wait min
ute"
The two women waited while the
girl consulted long and seriously
with one of her fellows. The con-
sultation was about a dance which
was to take place that evening, bat
the would be customers never knew
the difference. When it was over,
the girl returned and informed
them:
"Sorry, but we're all out of that
lace. Guess yoa can get some over in
Blanks, though" mentioning the
rival establishment. The two women
hurried away, fearing that the sup
ply in the other store might also be
exhausted before their arrival. 1t
wasn't, but they did not buy any
lace, and, furthermore, they advised
all their friends to shop at Dash's,
because the prices there are so rea-
sonable. But" they added, you've

she was only Luisita, ali told, while
to see Pablo overtaken by his own
curse would be vengeance absolute
and perfect, and the savage within
him arose and clamored for revenge,
sitting all tenderer feelings in its
intensity.
He was going away, he told her
folks, far away, perhaps ten miles
beyond the valley, and, knowing Lu-
isita's glances had never wholly
turned from the handsome figure
of Pablo, he chuckled to himself at
the obvious outcome. Luisita would
be easily consoled, and when she was
married to the hated Pablo, Just
when he thought himself comforta-
bly, ensconced in the seventh hcay-
en-, the curse upon "whomsocver'
she married would descend. Then
would he, jose, come back to gloat
over him, mock him, icer at him,
watch the failure of his every un-
dertaking and recall the scene Of
the cursing. Oh, that would be
proud day
Jose's wanderings covered many
months. He penetrated not only
ten but hundreds of miles beyond
the valley. He saw things and did
things he would have thought be-
yond belief in the shadow Of his
own little patio and returned at
length with his horizon triho
broader, but his longing to gloat
over his fallen rival no whit abated.
SO promptly the day after he reach
ed home he betook himself to see
the desolation wrought upon Pablo
during his absence, to taunt him
with the curse wherewith he had
ruined himself, to repeat the words
''Stay there, then, till you die!" and
so on, for he had it all at his
tongues end and would repeat it
slowly while he watched his victim
writhe and cringe before him.
But as he made his way down the
little, crooked street, his lips NOV
ing with the monologue he was pre-
pairing, he stopped suddenly, and his
jaw dropped. There sat Pablo Varo
on the sunny side of little patio,
looking the very happiest of men,
and with good reason. The sun was
warm, the subject Of crops didn't
bother him in the least, and Luisita,
nesting beside him with the nina
on her lap. was incontestably his.
Not until then did Jose realize that
he had outwitted himself and that
he was many times fool.-Argo-
