High School Notes. {

= q ..Sg E,e 4 49,
TIE school year is now nearly
done, therefore we hasten to raise
our voice once more to prove that:
we are still alive and have survived
the strain of the numerous final
tests and the State Board examiin-
ations, which are now in full vogue.
Many who attempt the examinations
find to- their sorrow that the ex-
aminer knew many things which
they did not and therefore, have to
continue their studies.
i The omnipotens rex Of the
sHigh School knows how to get the
cinch on the pupils and keep them
hard at work, even during these
days Of examinations and worry, so
as to be sure they are not able to
find any leisure or pleasure during
the closing days Of the year. In
most schools pupils are allowed a
little liberty between examination
hours. s.5s5

retreated to a noonlighted piazza.

FIRST OF ALL THE EWcTIoNs
maEyars Have a Version of Expulsion
from the Garden.

magyars Have Version of Expulsion
from the Garden.
Among the folklore of the peasantry
Of Roumania and some of the adjoin-
ing Magyar states Of eastern Europe
is found the story Of the expulsion Of
our first parents from the garden Of
Eden. 1t runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell God sent
Gabriel, the Magyar angel, to turn
them out of Eden as a punishment for
their sin. Gabriel was received most
courteously, food and drink of the
best set before him. Now, Gabriel had
a kind heart and took pity upon the
poor folk and would not accept their
hospitality, remembering his errand.
SO he returned and begged that some
one else be sent to evict the sinners,
as he really could not do it. Then
Raphael, the Roumanlan angel, was
sent and was received as Gabriel had
been. He, however, was very fond
of good dinner and so he sat down
and thoroughly enjoyed himself. The
feast over, he told the erriog pair his
errand. They at once began to weep
most piteously and beg for mercy.
Their bitter sorrow so touched his
after-dnner heart that he. too, return.
ed and asked that someone else be
sent, as he could not possibly turn out
the poor folk after accepting their
hospitality. Then 1t was that Michael.
the German angel, was sent He was
received as the others by the trembling
pair and treated even more sumptu-
Ously. He sat down and enjoyed him.
self till the last morsel of food hao
vanished and there wasn't n drop Of
liquor left. Then he arose and, turn,
ing to his host and hostess, said:
Now then, out you go, and be quick
about It," Most piteously did Adam
and Eve beg at least for time. even
reminding him that he had partaken
of their bread. All in vain. Thus 1t
was that our first parents were driven
put of Eden.

Titled FoI'ei ,.iIers
Who Are Paupers.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.


To Americans accustomed to associ.
ate titles of royalty and nobility witt
persons of at least Il certain Importance
In the world, whether the Importance
be financial, political or social, such in.
oidents as that which happened in this
city last week, when a Russian prince
appeared in a police court to press a
charge against a firm of ready-made
clOthiers, who, he said, had charged him
E13 for 50 suit, come as more or less
painful shocks.
For the princes of history and tradi-
ton have never worn ready-mad'
clothes at $13 the suit. They may have
worn a good deal worse material, away
back in the past, but when they did the
fellows who were not princes wore
worse still.
AS q matter of fact, however, titles
are not nearly so valuable an asset as
Americans who live at a distance from
the countries where they abound are
inclined TO suppose. The romantic
story of Princess Helene Zuludidse
who is working as brcklayer's assist
ant in Odessa, is by no means an un.
common one, and study of the curious
phases of life in Eastern and Central
Europe would reveal some astonishing
facts concerning the degradation Of
royalty.
In many parts OF Europe the fathers
title is inherited by all his children, and
there are said to be many villages in
Austria, Poland and Russia in which all
the peasants are legitimately descended
from some princely ancestor. They are
legally described as princes" in all Of
fetal documents, and on leaving their
homes many Of these peasant princes
find themselves greatly handicapped by
the burden of high-sounding title.
1t may at first sight appear strange
that there should be any wish to get
rid Of the titles. AT time when a good
many persons in this country are ex-
pending effort and money hunting up
ancestral trees and devising coats-of-
arms 1t would seem that the poor titled
have at least their titles to point to
with legitimate pride.
But the titles otter mean starvation,
and when It comes to choosing between
eating and being a prince the selection
is apt to fall on the former. Unfortu-
nately, however, they cannot get rid
of the titles, and are driven to the ex.
pedient Of trying to conceal their exist.
ence. In this they are not often sue.
cessful, for by the police regulations no
employe can be engaged without show
ing his papers" in which the rank, age
and occupation are stated.
The reason that titles prove a handi-
cap to the peasant so afflicted Is that
few people are willing to engage a
workman Of legally far higher rank
than themselves. Thus the peasant.
prince finds himself without a job. and
as often as he secures one the produc-
ton Of his papers" is apt to end the
engagen 2nt.
A prince in this city few years ago
became the partner of a pawnbroker
and made some money inducing his
Rristocratic friends up on the Bowery.
