The Address He Got.

A Russian gentleman tells a funny
story of his first encounter with the
English language.
The day after his arrival In London
he made a call on a friend In Park
lane, and ON leaving the premises In
scrlbed In his notebook what he sup
posed to be the correct address.
The next day, desiring to go to the
same place again, he called a cabman
and pointed to the address that he had
written down. The cabman looked
him over, laughed, cracked the whip,
and drove away without him.
This experience being repeated with
two or three other cabmen, the Rus
sian turned Indignantly TO the police,
with no better results. One officer
would laugh, another would tap his
head and make a motion initiating the
revolution of n wheel.
Finally the poor foreigner gave II up,
and. with n great deal OF difficulty,
recalling the landmarks which he had
observed the day before. found his way
to his friends house. Once there, and
In company with one who could under
stand him, he delivered himself OF a
hot condemnation of the cabmen and
the police of London for their impertl-
hence and dlscourtesy.
His friend asked for n look at the
mlrth provoking address, and the
mystery was solved. This was tho

The needs of the school are many.
The trustees, while making the most
prudent expenditure of the public
education Is not hampered. Often pet
ty economy is really the greatest ex-
travagance. Procuring the best there
is for the children, and using 1t under
competent direction, is the greatest
economy.-School Interests.
Training pupils to read and to love
good literature is by far the most i'm
portant work done In school, 1t is the
one thing that continues to contribute
to ones education so long as he lives.
1t is not the ability to read, but the
use made of that ability that contrib

ed by reading a single book.-The

The public school is the place to
which we should turn chief attention In

be beautiful, and the child should be

The character of the teaching func-

aspects. The preparation of teachers
must be improved by direct efforts to

a cheering one, that as rule the better
the work the teacher does, the longer
his term Of service. There can be no
doubt that one reason why the tenure
of city teachers Is longer than country

MILKMEN LIKE SHORT ROUTE.
Shippers on the w. & N. Line Discuss
Plan to Change.

4 meeting OF the milk shippers along
the line OF the Wilmington & Northern
r. II. was held yesterday morning in the
office of Freight Agent Briggs at Mary
land avenue station. The topic talked
over was relative to changing the route
for shipment of milk. The route now is
a shipment to Elsmere and thence over
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad to Phila-
delphia The proposed route talked over
is over the Wilmington 4 Northern to
Birdsboro. and thence over the Philadel-
phia u Reading to Philadelphia. The
latter route is much longer and it places
the proceeds of the freight in-the hands
ofthe one railroad in place of dividing up
with the Baltimore & Ohio, as now.
The matter was discussed Mt great
length by the majority of the 70 shippers
present and the sentiment appeared to
be that they desired the most direct
shipment MS it was the most essential.
The railroad has not attempted to make
any change.
