A bas relief of Clodion, representing
fawns, nymphs and cupids at play, has
been discovered in a Paris nunnery.
The relief was carved for the Princess
Louise Of Condo, in the eighteenth cen
fury, and when she became a nun the
figures were covered with plaster. A
Prussian amor ball at the time of the
siege of Paris Clipped off the plaster,
showing the sculpture beneath. A
French antiquarian society intends to
present it to the Carnavalet Museum,
though the price asked for it is $4,000.

A Writer Says Large institutions Pre-

Why 1t Is better, on some accounts,
to send a boy to a small college rather
than to a large one is set forth by
Herbert w. Horwill in the Atlantic.
He says: THE smallest college in
cludes men who have come from diff
ferent schools, who live in different
counties, who hold different religious
opinions, who are of different grades
in society, and who anticipate very
different careers in later life. 1t is in
the mingling Of these diverse elements
that the social intercourse of a college
operates most healthily. Fl" No
outside associates will contribute to
a mans education more of what is
fresh and unfamiliar than will meet
him daily on his own staircase. A
small college puts upon him the COM
pulsion Of this broadening social in
t%ercourse. A large college, on the
other hand, from it's very size pro-
vides less variety; it is impossible for
all the men to know one another, and
they assert themselves accordingly in
to cliques, along the lines of some
sectional interest. AS a social organ
ism, the small college is distinctly to
be preferred to its larger rival. The
personality of the teachers has a much
greater opportunity for wholesome In

he has helped about 5000 youths in

The success Of Mr.. Wizards re-
markable work is proven by the fact
that out of the hundreds of boys who
have been placed in his charge only
10 have failed to realize his expecta-
lions. Had he not saved them from
the disgrace Of an early prison life
it is probable that the great majority
of them would now be well started IN
a criminal career.

A comprehensive plan for the work
of the naval wal college during the
summer months is being considered by
the officials of the navy department.
The plan contemplated entails the dis
cussion Of several problems and n OF
them, of considerable interest, con-
Germs the defense of the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts of this country through
the use Of the Nicaragua canal, which,
for the purpose of the problem, is to
be supposed to be in existence. An
other problem relates to the defense OF
the coasts with the Straits of Magellan
ais the connecting link between the At
Iantic and Pacific oceans. The third
problem concerns operations of an
American fleet against a European ma
ton of superior strength.

A weak point in the graded school
system is that clever pupils are held
back to the general level Of the class,
or dull pupils are discouraged and
crushed" by the advancement Of their
mates. The board of education in Ba-
tavia, New York, seems to have
remedied this difficulty by providing
larger grade-rooms in which twice the
usual number OF children can be as
sembled under two teachers, teach
or to conduct the classes and the
other to give all her time to helping
the slower scholars. "The effect of the
change was instantaneous" writes the
president Of the board, "in putting
confidence into the %laggards, In max
ing them the equals of their brighter
neighbors. In giving an onward move
ment to the grades, in relieving the
teachers Of all strain, and in ending
a~fter-sehool drudgery and home work"
To attain any one Of these results
would warrant pretty radical meas
ures.

THE YOUNG
New York Letter.


The practical work of a young New
Yorker may in time radically change
the entire system of our reformatory
institutions. Instead Of places where
boys live, work and study by rule un-
der strange surroundings, there will be
a collection of private homes, or tam
lilies, where the charges will be sur
rounded by the comforts and enjoy
ments of home life and trained in the
duties which tend to make competent
men and good citizens.
About six years ago David A. Will
lard started a school for boy Grimm
ais in the Tombs, the famous New
York prison. Each morning within
the prison walls he talks with his pu-
pills on subjects referring to practical
educational matters. He refers
to their misdeeds, but seeks to divert
their minds to more wholesome mat
ters. in this way he gives the boys
new interests in life, encouragement
for the future and gains their affec-
ton and confidece. The boys know
him as a school teacher-one in no
way interested in the criminal cases
agains, them.

Two new uses have been found for
the camera, both Of which are helps
In detecting violations of law. One is
the photographing Of cases of cruelty
to animals, or the results Of cruelty.
This serves a double purpose. A pho
tograph is the best evidence that can
be produced in court, and it arouses
public sympathy as nothing else, ex-
cept the scene itself, could do. The
other application is in making pictures
Of the smoke nuisance. Many cities
have ordinances against the use of
soft coal, or restrictions on the time
during which it may be used; but vio-
lations are frequent, Here again the
testimony of a photograph is hard to
contradict. The name first given to
the hand cameras now so common.

Who commanded the British fleet OPP
posed to the Spanish admiral.
England, for the fleet was under roy
al orders to proceed to the Flemish
coast, where another army of $4,000
men under the Duke of Parma was
to join it, the whole force then pro-
ceeding to England.
But the expedition was ill-starred
from the start. Before it was ready
to set out it's commander, Admiral
Santa-Croce, died, as did the vice ad-
miral, Paliano, and the command was
then conferred upon the Duke of Me-
dina Sidonia, a man utterly inexpe-
rienced in naval affairs.
While this mighty expedition was
being fitted out, the English govern
ment was not idle. The nation raj
lied around their Queen, Elizabeth, and
a strong though still inferior fleet was
placed in readiness to meet the Span
iards, The British feet numbered 1870
vessels OF all kinds, many of them
privateers, and these were manned by
II, 500 men. Lord Howard of Effing-
ham was in supreme command and un-
der him served Drake, Hawkins and
FTobisher, the most renowned sea-
men in Europe. The feet was divided
into two squadrons, n to guard the
channel, the other to cooperate with
the Flemish and prevent the Duke of
Parma from joining the Spanish 40
tilla.
Armada's Tragic End.
On May 20, 1858, the Spanish fleet
set out from Lisbon for Corunna to
take on a supply of stores, The yes
sells encountered a terrific storm and
eighty-two of the vessels were sunk.
Finally the remnants OF the Spanish
expedition got under way and on July
81 appeared off Plymouth. The British
feet put out in its rear and opened a
destructive fire, and having the wind
in its favor was able to infict con
siderable damage without sustaining
any loss in return. All the way along
the channel the English pursued the
armada with the same tactics, captur-
ing two or three vessels and yet keep
ing out Of recch. The English vessels
were easier handled. better manned
and better served and the advantage
OF the fighting remained on their side
The Spaniards held toward the coasI
