MUSIC AND STORIES.

r. others are sitting in al circle singing
songs Or listening to the teacher, as
Sne5 reads them a story. The story is
always, one that will call forth good
zeal OF comment and it makes the little
people think hard sometimes, and so puts
their brains into action. Without realIz
ing IT., they are brought under perfect
discipline. They are taught to he neat

control without chatting. -, ,''@''' =

OF these pictures. And very often the
story that tot of five tells shows deem
thousht, Quick wit and trained intel
lect. Sometimes the children are told

all eat 1t together. Many of the little
tots are in this way given their first
lesson In table etiquette. 1t must al
ways be remembered that their mission
is to refine as well as to educare. II
has been said by many doctors that the
age at which children enter is too young
and that the restraint they are put un-
der and the work they do is warranted
to make them future nervous wrecks. Be
this as it may, the kindergarten is the
greatest teacher of culture now at work
IN thSs country. The English say that
we are making a great mistake. but IN.
masses IN this country are already more
cultured than are the. masses in Eng
land. and the kindergarten is doing
much to continue this con iition. And

Many of the young squaws objected to

their objections were overruled by
Yellow Feathers, an Arapahoe medis

girls remain to dance until they are
weary. They are then ordered to stand
in line and the bucks dance around
them for half an hour or more.4 Then
the medicine men announce that eacn
buck will take such and such squaw
for his wife. The buck goes to that

awhirls her off into the dance. She Is

Fervoniere Coming Rack.

News comes from Paris to the eff
feet that the fervoniere is undoubted-
ly coming back to favor. Forty wears
ago no one would have needed to be
told what fervoniere was, and MANY
OF the ornaments are in the possession
of women lucky enough to have in
herlted jewels. The old-fashioned fer
voniere was forehead jewel, usually
a large uncut gem, set in heavy gold
work. 1t was worn in the center of
the forehead, attached to a gold flllet,
or more often band of black velvet
which passed ?::.c,.-' -he head. The
ornament was marvelo y saccming
! to Certain classical type of face, but
lamentably disfiguring to the ordinal '
woman. The Empress Josephine was
particularly fond of the fervoniere,
which became her, although her face
was far from classic. The uncovered
foreheads of recent seasons opened
the way for revival of this old fash
ion, and the jewel stars and crescents
which were worn low against the fore
head with the parted fringe of hair
limited at the fervoniere; but now, a
number of Partisan beauties have
taken up the old mode in earnest and
have appeared with splendid jewels
cleaning upon their white foreheads
JUST above their brow. The velvet
b4Hd .and, fillet have not appeared, the
modern fervoniere being, as nearly as
possible, devoid of visible setting, and
held in its place, by the finest thread
of gold or string of small pearls

In Trinity churchyard every atom Of
earth is sacred. Within the familiar
inclosure lie entombed the remains of
100000 Of the people of old New York.
Three deep are the graves. The early
records are gone, but tradition, history
and ancient stones, stfn tell their sto-
ries Of men and deeds-of sacrifices.
sorrows, labors. and achievements.
There, under the shadow of Gods tenn
pie, mother earth has opened her bo-
som with strict impartiality to Eng.
lish governors and signers Of the dec
laration, to royalist soldiers and LIB
erty Boys. to the English garrison and
to the starved martyrs of the revolu-
tion. Judges and generals, ministers,
and merchants, mariners and artisans,
the rich and renowned, the poor and
the humble, all lie here, their bones
dissolved, their dust mingled, forming
together one great memorial and one
concentrated history of the origin and
growth of the American metropolis.
The colonial governors, Sir Henry
Moore and Sir Danvers Osborne, were
buried here; also the wives of Cows.
Clarke and Cornbury. Each of these
representatives of foreign government
resided in the fort, south of Bowling
Green. Here are also the royalist
judges James Delaney, who presided
at the trial of Peter zenger, and DAN

to the maintaining of the prerogatives
OF the crown, withstood Gov. Golden 8

corder of the city of New York; Robert
R. Livingston and Leonard Lispenard,
members of the stamp act congress,
and John Cruger, delegate to that con-

:. Sin Eaters Are Hired.

:, A curious custom prevails at funerals
in some parts Of. Wales. A poor ger
son is hired-"a long, lean, ugly, Ia
mentable rascar'-to perform the du-
ties of sin eater. Bread and beer are
passed to the man over the corpse or
laid on it; these he consumes, and by
the process he is supposed to take on
him all the sins of the deceased and
free the person from walking after
death. When sin eater is not en-
ployed, glasses of wine and funeral
biscuits are given to each bearer across
the coffin. The people believe that
every drop of wine drunk at funeral
is sin committed by the deceased,
but that by drinking the wine the soul
of the dead Is released from the burden
of the sin. In some places it is the
custom to send to the friends Of d
family after death bag Of biscuits
with the card of the deceased. These
funeralS biscuits, often small, round
sponge cakes, were known as arvel
bread, aryel meaning ale.-Chfcaeu

To Restrain the Removal of Obstruction
 Thompson St, K. R. Crossing.

Notice of temporary injunction se- cured by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company to re- strain the city from removing the ob- structions at the railroad crossing on Thompson street was served on the city yesterday afternoon. The case is re- turnable to the superior court on the first Tuesday in June.
 The crossing has been closed since 1S97 and on March the common coun- cil voted to order the obstruction re- moved by April 15 and If it was not ce- moved by that time ordered the direc- tor of public works to remove it. Di- rector Hugo now has informed the conn., pany that unless the obstruction is re- moved within the time limit he will take steps to have it removed. The temporary injunction is brought to pre- vent this. Attorney Henry F. Parme- lee represents the railroad company. The papers were served by Deputy Sheriff Higgins.

GR4VE CoNDYTTONS 7N NEW YORK.
Preliminary Report of the Committee of
 Fifteen.

New York, April 1.-The committee of fifteen organized some months ago to investigate vice as it exists in this city made it's preliminary report to the pub lie to-day. The report says that the committees agents disclosed the fact that gambling and pool rooms were be- ing operated openly; that the gambling spirit is a distinct menace to the com munity, and that the resorts were un- doubtedly protected in the operation by officers whose duty it was to close them. The raids made by the committee and it's agents and the results obtained showed that committee of citizens can force the police to close up such re- sorts, and also that the raids have re- suited in making the gambling business unprofitable in this city.
 The committee says that the actual conditions of the tenement population is twenty five tenement houses examined by it's agents, and in which dlsorderly women were living, there were found, in each house, on an average, twenty four children under the age of eighteen years. The recommendation Is made that in each assembly district one as- sembly hall shall be built which shall be kept available for citizens meetings to discuss the evils that menace their civic life and where they can meet oc- casionally.
