"A London newspaper describes a
school in which there can be no sug-,
gestion of class distinctions among the
pupils. An English woman is the
teacher, and the fifteen scholars are all
princesses Of the royal family of Siam.
The instruction is varied. The sight Of
q princess with a broom Or engaged in
baking indicates the practical nature
OF the teaching. To wash clothes thor
pughly, lay the table properly, ar
range flowers, in short, to acquire a
good knowledge Of housekeeping, Is
one branch of accomplishment which
the royal group neither scorns nor
slights. There are American girls, ac-
,cording to common report, who would
mot care to be photographed as broom
u1sers, cooks or washers, from a false
idea that useful work might detract
IRON their social rating. The royal
women of Siam. on the contrary, seem
to covet the best domestic gifts.

Photography Without a Dark Room.
The continued experiments Of Prof.
r.. z. Nipher of st. Louis with posi-
tive photography" have produced some
very interesting results. He says that
the plates may be separately wrapped
Nm black paper at night, or in a dark
room, and all the remaining work can
he done in the light. A plate is taken
from its wrapper in the light and
placed in the slide holder, and an ex-
posure-a long one-is made. After ex-
posure the plate is taken out in the
light again, and placed in the develop
Ding bath, and the picture is developed,
and may be fixed, in the light. The re-
hult is q positive. Fine pictures are
thus obtained. While It is desirable to
shield the plate from the light as much
as possible during the changes, vet,
Professor Nipher says, all Of the OPP
erations may be carried on without
any darkroom conveniences that may
not be secured even in the open fields.

Paris more effectually than they did

The recent panic in Wall street was
relieved by one delightful incident. A

demolition. ""Plumb wrecked! Clean
destroyed! Well, we'll, that beats mel"

In Hawaii enormous quantities Of
ducks are raised by the Chinese upon
the edges of the ocean. Twice a day,
within restricted areas, they are per-
mitted to eat the young fish which
swim in the inclosed coves. Fish are
reported to be growing scarcer every
year, and by some this diminution is
attributed to the wholesale destruction
Of the young fry by the Chinese.

The County Board of Control was
in session Monday. The only matter
outside of the regular routine that
came up was the application of the
Nixon House for a permit to run a

declined to recommend that the State
Board grant the privilege sought, and
as the State Board has heretofore
acted on similar matters in conformi-
ty with the recommendations of the
County Boards it is not at all likley
that the Nixon House will be granted
tourist hotel permit. The action of
the County Board causes no surprise
as it was the accepted opinion that
the application of the Nixon Honse
would be refused.
