Toll nuiIdinFs and Nerves.

The result Of carelessness in running
elevators is plainly shown in the fol
lowing item from Good Health: There
is no need of those sudden stops of Il
flying elevator, and its effect upon peo-
pie with any sort of heart trouble is
dangerous in the extreme. When It
comes to facilities for increasing the
army OF nervous people, it is a mistake
to give the palm to the electric trolley
car, the automobile or the elevated
trains. The tall sky scraper building
of the big cities is a close competitor
of all these in the manufacture of
nervous wrecks. Not one woman in
hundred can step into a swift flying
elevator and be shot up to the tenth
story of a scraPer without feeling of
"goneness" in the region of the heart.
which. in the case of many delicately
organized women, approaches very
closely to nervous collapse 4 must
not be imagined either that the shoot
ing up and down III these steel cages
day after day has no effect upon the
nerves of men. They become accus-
toned to the sensation of being drop
ped from the fifteenth story to the
basement. The heart action is proof
against its wear and tear. but their
nerves are not. There is a gradual.
breaking down of the
nervous system.

wild Animal. In the city.

The greatest surprise | ever expert
enced in the unexpected appearance of
a wild creature in the heart of the me-
tropolis was one day in the spring of
1901 when | saw pOssum crossing
Broadway near Chambers street. The
creature had no chance. l think 1t was
a truck that killed it. and great
crowd gathered, stopping traffic, excit-
eddy discussing the tragedy. The ma
iority declared the animal to be rat;
the minority maintained that it was a
guinea pig. Then. as the police inter-
rupted discussion by clearing the car
tracks, large negro dropped from the
back of a truck, eized the animal and,
mounting the cart tail once more. held
his prize aloft, grinning from ear to
ear. "Dasser possum," he said and
pocketed the future piece de resistance.
l have never learned where that pos
sum came. from. but there's no doubt
where he went. Wild creatures in New
York are sometimes seen. Ducks, geese.
snipe and gulls pass over in their mi
grations. and it is not uncommon to
catch glimpse of hawks hanging high
above the city smoke.
Once l saw a woodcock lying dead on
the sidewalk of Fifth avenue-curious-
~ enough in front of Delmonico's. In
his nocturnal migration he had collid-
ed with that famous restaurant and
had broken his neck. There may be a
land of Cockayne after all. Twice

thickness, some wide enough to drive q

In the most unexpected places, running
here parallel, here at right angles to
one another, and seeming as though
built for no purpose except for the en-
ployment Of the vast number OF forced
laborers that Mulai Ismain always kept
at his court. Here and there are gate
ways of great beauty, such as the deli
cate tiled gate of "Mansur el-Alj," with
its large marble columns and CORN

The old palaces of Mulai Ismain are

turn has erected new residences till
the imperial palace today consists OF a
collection OF buildings of every shape
and size, scattered among gardens In
closed by high walls. A tower, which
was uncompleted at the time of the late
sultan's death, remains today just as
the workmen left 1t, with the scaffold-
ing still standing. Adjoining the pal

"Out in my town." said a Kentucky
editor Everybody doesn't use as cor
rect English as is used in Boston. Not
long ago young woman from the Hub
came out our way to spend some time
on a farm a mile or two out Of town.
She had met the farmers folks some
where and come out to try her hand
at chicken raising. being an enterpris-
ing young lady.
Zone day she came into the store Of
one of our merchants with half a dozen
chickens tied together by the feet and
laid them down on a sack while she ne
gotiated sale. The merchant observed
that they were in rather an insecure
position.
"'Will they lay there, Miss JuliaP he
asked. with never a thought of his
grammar since he left school.
"'Oh, no. she replied, half blushing
and half reproving; they are all roost-
ers.'
"Since then the merchant has been
trying to coax Miss Julia to quit chick
en- raising and go to school teaching,
and the rest of us are becoming more
particular in our language when the
young lady is around."-New York

OUR FIRST FREE SCHOOL
In

IL Was Established In Massachusetts
In the Year 1641.
The first free school established In
the United States was in the province
Of Massachusetts Bay in the year 1641
by order of the general colonial court.
In 1647 the same authority declared
that free schools should be esta blished
within every town having fifty house
holders under penalty of fine of f5.
This fine was doubled by a declaration
made in 1871 and again doubled In
1888. Connecticut established free
schools In 1914 and levied a tax for
their support. Maryland established
free schools in 1894 and levied tax on
negroes, pelts, furs and beef and pork
for their support. Governor Berkeley
declared in 1919 the hope that free
schools would never be established In
Virginia, but the towns of Charleston
and Elizabeth did establish them in
that year, and Elizabeth set aside 200
acres of land and eight COWS, the In
crease from which was applied to sup
port the schools. -Four years later the
number of cows had increased to forty.
Pennsylvania was settled by Penn on
the Delaware river In 1881, and the
same year a free school, which is still
conducted under the auspices of the
Friends, or Quakers, was established
in Philadelphia. Among the declara-
lions of Penn in his frame of govern
ment" he asserted this immortal truth,
long since forgotten by the men who
have been responsible for the govern
ment Of the commonwealth: ANY gov
eminent is free to the people under II,
whatever be the frame. where the law
rules, and the people are a party to
those laws. More than this is tyranny,
oligarchy and confusion" This SEN
