The rooms are all furnished and drest

Nothing is changed that our love could

The children are coming home to-day
Ay. children. Is twice two-score!
Men and women with heads of gray,
But the old child's heart once more;
Never a word of o bad you've been.
How far you've Travelled, how sad you've
been.
Door and heart are alike flung wide;
The mothers check is aglow with pride;
The good YOU have lone or have tried
to do
These are the things she has heard Of

The children are coming home again
Hark to the names We knew!
The Gear old love-names-Will and Ben

generally men and where we had
women as assistants they were import
ed from the north. We had five in sue
cession in u town. One by one they
got married and we sent off and got
another. Our well-to-do widowers took
a liking to them, for u girls wouldn't
marry a widower and our young men
wouldn't marry a yankee school mis-
tress. But since the war our W girls
have gone to teaching and are found in
every school Don in the land. If they
are more fit to teach our children than
are the men. then why are they not
better paid, and why are they not mer2-
bers Of our school boards? 1 have
known men to be elected on school
boards who couldn't do a sum in the
rule of three and din't now whether
algebra was Latin or astronomy. Some
of these same men are put on the COM
mittee to choose school books. School
boards are not always elected for
scholarship, but for sectarian influence
and because they have an ak to grind.
But this is enough for n letter. l
hope the young people will cut it out
and paste it in their scrap books n
keep it for reference so that when they
are married and have inquisitive chill
dren they can answer these questions.
Every young person should have a
scrop book. One Of our teachers was

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The treas
ury department has determined on a
new method of handling express mat
ter from abroad through the customs
port at New Yorh which will expedite
its delivery several days. The new
plan is the result of a personal investi-
CATION by Secretary Shaw, who has
spent several days in New York look
ing into the passage of express matter
through that port. Hereafter each
morning the express companies VIII
deposit lump sum with the subtreas-
ury large enough to cover all possible
customs charges ON the days consign-
ment. Upon its arrival all express
matter will be sent to the general stor-
age There, in the presence Of repre-
sentative of the collector Of the port,
representative of the express conf
panies and representative of the APP
praiser the packages will be unpacked
and examined. The amount of the du-
ties will be paid by the express compa-
nics from the deposit in the subtreaS-
ury, and thereupon the express pack
ages will be released and will be for
warded by the express companies to
their destination. II is estimated that
in this way the saving in time will be
from eight to ten days at least.

tseSesses Heilpyia LesaksasJntssva1.
canes Crater. a.
FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
June 5.-Professor Angelo Heilprin,
president of the Philadelphia Geo.
graphical society, who is here for the
National Geographical society, has re-
turned from his explorations of the
crater on the summit Of Mont Pelee.
Professor Heilprin Is well and in good
spirits. He has rested from the IA
tigues Of his last trip and is ready for
more work.
The following important points have
been settled by Professor Heilprin: The
location of the new crater has been ac-
curately determined. 1t is positively
known that there has been no overflow
Of molten matter from the lip Of the
crater. There has been 10 subsistence
Of the mountain, and the height Of
Mont Pelee is unchanged. The crater
does not contain a cinder cone. There
has been no cataclysm and no topo-
graphical alteration Of the country. The
period of violent eruptiOns has prOba-
bly, ended, although the volcano may
continue to be quietly active for a long
time to come.
Referring to his expedition. Profess
sOr Heiprin said:
"As we stood on the edge of the era
ter sublime spectacle began. / now
have some conception Of what is going
on inside the earth and have been
spectator of natures secret interior
work. We were assaied with noise.
Far below there was kissing Of steam
like thousand locomotives, as well as
violent detonations. The principle out
put Of the crater while we were there
was steam. The phenomena were lin
tied and were not essentially different
from those Of other volcanoes In action.
Positive assurance was gained that no
molten matter has flowed over the lip
Of the new crater.
Several observations taken with the
aneroid barometer showed that the
height of Mont Pelee has not been
changed. / agree with Professor Rob
ert r. Hill the geologist Of the United
States government, that Mont Pelee
has erupted no lava and that there has
been no cataclysm nor any serious to-
biographical alterations. No clnder cone
was visible in the crater. What was
taken for a cone Is a pile of elected
rocks. Perhaps the bottom of the new
crater may contain a cinder cone. but
we could see down only about $50 or
200 feet. I believe, however, that the
crater is very much deeper than this.
THE eruption of Mont Pelee of May
s was unique inthst it resulted in the
greatest destruction of life and proper
ty ever known by direct agency of a
volcano. The phenomenon of the ex-
plOsion of flaming gases is probably
new, but a careful study of observa-
tons is necessary before an opinion can
be reached. The electrical phenomena .
are also new. They probably did not
play the chief role in the destruction OF
st. Pierre, but were developed by and
aided the other forces. | have speci- |
mems which show the effect of the bolts '
of lightning. The latter were small and
intense and penetrated within the /
houses of the city. For rapdity of ac-
ton and for lives destroyed Mont Pc

BERLIN. June 5.-Medical men in
