The nest Way to Tsach history

The idea Of object teaching, the iounda.
ton Of the Froebel system OF instruction.
has in recent years met with general accept
ancc and adoption in almost every branch Of
education, high and low, with resultant ben.
eii,s which are beyond question. Even such
subjects a. grammcr aud arithmetic are
now taught IN this way 20 far a. practicable,
and with marked advantage over the old
dry and abstract method. The practice Of
teaching history BY making pilgrimages to
the very scenes where great historical events
have occurred Il m application Of the same
principle and much more valuable in the
way Of imprcslng the reality OF history upon
the minds Of the young than any amount Of

guidance Of teachers aud others who desire
TO adopt this method Of historical study.
One OF the best ways TO develop civic pride

breathing room, they have learned to love walking and to walk COR
recty, with the knee stiff and the body so inclined forward that its
weight comes on the ball of the foot and not on the heel.
This new walk is directly connected iwth the new fashion in skirts.
The chnging skirt cannot be displaced; it is beautiful and women set
beauty above other considerations. But a skirt that really clings is
fatal to good walking; it winds itself around the feet and makes the
knees bend, il it does not check motion.
To make a skirt that shall seem to cling without cinging is the
problem solved by the new skirt put forward for Easter. 1t is called a
lily skirt because it maintains the sheathlike form familiar for the last
few seasons; but at the bottom it has a carefully measured flare. and to
assist it in standing out from the body it has a drop skirt whose triple
circular hounce is stihened with haircloth. This drop skirt has a seam
in front but in its general aspect OF close adjustment to the figure it
differs little from its predecessors. The newncss and the importance
of the new skirt lie in its provisions for waIking-in the care taken to
hold it awav from the limbs.

Why the Easter Skirt Must Flare
BY MRS. ELIZABETH A.. C. WHITE,
prcsiden, of tho Drossmakers' Association OF America.

Fashions do not come and go without reason. For
every feature of the new lily skirt which forms so
important a part of spring wardrobes there is an cx-
PLANTATION. One and all, they are traccablc to the
grace, activity and love of freedom characteristic of
the modern woman.
1t is within a comparatively short period that
women have begun to attach importance to the poise
of the body. Havingly learned to hold themselves

There are times when would tell a lie, however. To save my life

highwayman demanded all had, would hand him a dime, il possible

action, | think, would not be held against a man.
We could get along a great deal better without the so-calcd poHt,
tic. The danger is that the polite liar is liable to become chronic. BE
polite as long as you can. and then, when YOU are pressed to the wall
tell the truth, even il you make an enemy. lie will afterwards respect
YOU for it.
The real solution OF the question is the getting right on funda-
mental relations. Have a right feeling for your fcnow-m and for
God, and then you need not worry about white lies or any other kind.
A return to the old days, when a mans word was his honor. is
what pray for. Truth is back of all honor, and il you have a scrupu-
lous respect for your honor, not your reputation, you will manage to
always tell the truth without effort.

An animal is a less satisfactory subject for sculpture than is a

that he was Obliged TO hold his right hand
with his left when he made his signature.
The earlier portions of the testament in
clude the recommendation which the tesla
tor addressed to his executors, Cardinals
Rampolla. Mocenni and Cretoni, on the best
way to continue the religious impulse given
to the church, as well as the policy followed
by the Holy See during later years.
The document then enumerates all the
property which Leo possessed, and provides
that it shall all go to his successor. for the
benefit of the church. including even the
presents which might perhaps be consid-
cred personal, rather than gifts to the Pom
tiff as such. The money which the Pope
left is in a closed safe in his bedroom. the
keys having been given to different persons
mentioned in the will.
To the members of his family the Pope
left a present for each, to be chosen from
the valuable objects in his apartment. and
similar gifts We're bequeathed to his doctors.
All the land purchased and buildings erect

Leo are put in the name Of the Holy Sea

nephews instituted a suit against the

Mckeon was asked:
Did the treasurer of the union pay out
the following sums from the $1,000 coll
lected from the Stone Dealers Association:
Donald Cauld. s1.sOS.07; John Boyle $685.
OF: j. B. Smithson, sl6o2.5O; Walter Pud
ney. s1.515: John Fitzpatrick, sl,502?'
IF the records show it, yes he replied.
Were they members of the union when
they received the money!"
Yes"
why did you compel the Stone Dealers
Association to pay that s1o000?
1T grew out of a lockout OF the work
men"
When was that?"
ut was in December, 1904
DO you mean to tell me that the stone
dealers were made to pay $4,000 in 1902 be-
cause of a dispute that had existed eight
years before?"
This question was objected to and Nc
Keen did not answer.
McKeon was asked IL it was not true that
the Secret Committee" had called on a
wretchedly poor man named Ruppenstein
at Evergreen Cemetery, where he was con-
Quoting very small business, and extorted
from him s1O0, all the money he had in
/ the world.
McKeon replied that Donald Cauld, the
president of the union. got the money. and
that he turned 1t over to the union. He also
admitted that Ruppenstein was forced to
sign promissory notes for s525. which were
also turned over to the treasurer OF this
amount McKeon said $50 has been paid in
IS and SO installments.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
DIVIDED THE SPOILS
John Boyle, member OF the Stonecut-
ters' Union, who had known Murphy for
four years, testified that he was a member
of the Executive Committee and that he
saw President Cauld Of the union receive
from Colonel Baird a check for $1,000
Boyle then went on to tell of the various
hands through which the $1,000 check
passed before it reached Murphy. He was
asked if it was true that this money had
been divided among the Executive Com
mittee OF the Stonecutters' Union. d. Dom
aid Cauld, John Fitzpatrick John Boyle,
Lawrence Murphy, man named Smith
son and another man.
Boyle admitted that each man got a
check for s1,60S and that they deposited
these checks with the Lawyers Surety
Company. On the minutes of the meeting
| it was set forth that the money was in
| payment Of some services.
Had you rendered any services for the
5000 when the money was divided the last
timer" was asked.
No: but we got our checks then for serv-
| ices to be rendered"
"Oh." said Mr.. Mcintyre. you were pay
| ing yourselves in advance?"
II suppose so. said Boyle. and there was
| laughter in the courtroom.
"And the money Murphy got on that oc-
casion was for services to be rendered in
the future?"
Yes"
Boyle also admitted that at one of their
meetings. one of the members wanted the
| employers toasted for 100000" but denied
that it was entertained by the union as a
| body.

London, July 24.-The Daily Mails Toxic
correspondent sends rather an alarming
view of the situation in the East to his pa
per-
He says that Russia's retention of Man
churia, the increase OF her feet, the dis
southwark movement Of the occupying
army in Manchuria. and the defiant con-
duce on the Korean frontier have alarmed
the japanese, many of whom are convinced
that it would be better to fight now than
risk the eventual loss of Korea and the EEL
egation Of Japan to a secondary place.
He says the japanese are accommodating
stores and negotiating the purchase OF
ships; that a squadron is off Vladivostock.
to which port Russian vessels have been
sent as a precaution, and that both fleets
are ready for action at any moment.
He says that perusal of the Siberian press
reveals the aggressive spirit of the Russian
military party; that the Russians believe
they will lose prestige IL they give way now,
with the result that their far Eastern en-
pire Will be lost and japanese influence will
become predominant.
The appointment OF Marquis Ito as presi-
dent of the Privy Council, the correspond
ent says. is favorable to peace, but Russia
must retreat or there will be very grave
danger of war.
He says the Japanese believe that France
and England will join in the expected con-

Ri ssian forces at Port Arthur and else
where. many who were ostensibly emf
grants being in reality soldiers. He adds
that there is not the slightest evidence that
Russia intends to withdraw or moderate
her policy.

this morning. says that NJ. Pavlofr. the
Russian Minister to Korea, insists that the
Undertaking concession in the Yalu Valley
