The game is held to have been first played by the French settlers In Louisiana. but at what date is uncer- tain" Other standard authorities are about equally divided. The theory
 that the word is a corruption of the French ecarte is founded mainly upon the resemblance of the games and the alleged fact that euchre was first play

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.

The following letter apepared in The Richmond Times:
 Editor of The Times:
 Sir-The letters that have appeared in your columns relating to recent re- moval of the remains of ex Confederate soldiers from the Soldiers Home to the Arlington, Va, National Cemetery, are lacking in one important particular. Congress directed the work to be done and appropriated the money to meet the expense. Neither the Secretary of War nor the Quartermaster- General possesses the power to nullify an act of Congress, and in re-interring these remains they have carried out a law made for their guidance. Any other course than that which they pursued would have resulted in a censure for them, and in the case of the Quarter master General possibly a court mar tial.
 We all sympathize with the ladies in their laudable purpose and wish them every success: but blaming those who are not responsible for the temporary delay in carrying out their wishes will not help the matter in the least.
 Personally. l should like to see these ex- -Confederates remain side by side with those against whom they fought Their graves, receiving the same care and attention as others would, it seems to me, be a factor in obliterating the harsh feelings engendered by the war

THE BABES IN THE WOODS.
vII.-AUTHoRITY ESTABLISHED.

Helen had no further difficulty with her scholars that day. The classes came for ward, told their names, what studies they had attempted, and, how far they had pro- gressed in each. Helen was astonished to find how very primary their education had been so far. The younger children barely knew their letters; those of 10 and 12 could not read in words of more than one syllable, and were mired In the, to them, inexplicable muddles of addition and subtraction. The girls of Helen's own age had reached the second reader, and could spell fairly through their blue spelling book. They were com mencing long division and looking forward to simple geography. The rest were all in one class. They were struggling with frac- tions, and some of the very oldest had begun weights and measures. To this division be- longed the young man who had championed Helen. His name was zeb Tucker, as she learned when he came hulking forward with his class. He was ranked as the most ad- vanced scholar in the school because of his proficiency with mathematics, by which study, in fact, all were graded.
 There was not a moments study in the school all day. Helen threw herself into the work with an energy born of an absorbing Interest. She actually explained to each

no chance. He remembered that there was q bridge away down the road that was broken in one place, and he was sure that the Merry Go Rounds could not roll over 1t, but If they tried it they would fall through. So he ran acros lots to the bridge long be- fore the Merry Go Rounds, for they had to roll around the curves in the road, which took a long time. When the first Merry-Go- Round came rolling up to the bridge they saw the hole and had to step, but when Peter and Paul rolled up Rolo just stretched himself out and made bridge over the hole in the plank, and Peter and Paul rolled over him easily, and then Roo got up at once, so that none of the rest could have time to roll over him, too.
 Peter and Paul reached the palace at the same time and told the King about the great discovery, and there was not another Merry Go-Round in sight anywhere.
 The King said that he didn't want to own the whole world, as that was against the Roundroe Doctrine, and he wanted to know what good doctrine was, anyhow, if it were not lived up to. But he said Peter and Paul were two very smart boys and he gave them both the Order of the Rolling Stones, and said that would prevent them from ever gathering any moss, so that none could ever call them mossbacks, no matter how much they rolled.

 who were just about to pass out. Do you never take your books home with youg Guess not" replied lanky youth. "Nun sfudyin' in skule 'ithout studyin t hum, too.N .,
 But this Is the first day of school in sisted Helen. while the other pupils stood Around in amazement at her unheard-o1 sug- gestion. ''I know that no one ever studles hard on the first day, but I do so want you all to have your lessons tomorrow. You know we shall get along so much better and faster if we begin right, and we will come to the most interesting studies in no time if you will do your part as I want you to do 1t.
 The scholars stood irresolute for moment. Never before had teacher hinted at such thing sNone of them could remember ever having taken book home except at vacation time. They stood and stared open-mouthed at Helen Then Zeb Tucker walked down an aisle to his desk and gathered up his books hastily. Turning to the rest. he said: 'Im goin t do jest as the teacher sez. I'm goin' t take my books hum. Reckon tn rest uv ye thought jest ez well do ct, too, ct ye knows what's good fer ye." The rest evil dently knew what was good for them, for they gathered their books together quickly and went out, with little shamefaced mods to Helen. Feb Tucker walked to the door with the little teacher, who thanked him sincerely. "Et'll sure please tn ole folks" said Feb, and Helen went home with light heart to tell George of her first day as a ful-fedged schoolma am.
