THE HIGH SCHOOL WAL.

A serious question has been raised
concerning the stone wall in front Of
the high school grounds. As a finish
ing touch the top is being adorned
with sharp, pointed stones standing
On end. This is the customary finish
for all such walls so as to prevent the
smooth top being used as a loafng
place, the wall making a favorite seat
for many. The question has been
asked, however, whether such a finish
should be placed abound n school yard.
Children romp and play there, and,
in their rough and tumble. are apt to
roll down the bank. If anyone should
Athe high school terrace now,
Try would certainly result.
Ihdf6 is another side to the ques-
tion, however, the one whichs doubt
less Is looked upon by the Board of Ed
ucation. In the first place, this is a
high school building and not o gram
mel school or kindergarten. Pupils
at q high school are supposed TO DO
old enough to take care OF themselves
and not roll down the bank. Second
ly, tho grounds in front of the build
ing are to be graded, grass planted,
flowers set out and made q thing of
beauty. The grounds in front OF the
building will then no longer be used
as a pay 81, uud, the space in the
roar being reserved for that so that
the danger of anyone being injured by
the pointed stones is really ITO greater
than that kind of a finish is anywhere
else.

"The Dead Lion" Not n Lively Play,
Was barred at Berlin.

HAMBURG, Oct. 13.-Oscar Blumen-
that's new play, "The Dead Lion" had
its first production here last night. The
notoriety that followed the prohibition
of this play in Berlin attracted theater
goers from all parts of the country.
The audience and critics were not en-
thusiastic in their reception Of the
play.
Upon the ground that the plot and
incidents of 1.-THE Dead Lion" pointed
Enthusiastically to political events in
Germany in 1890, and that, therefore,
1t might wound the sensibilities Of
people still living who participated in
those events, the chief of police of Ber-
lin recently forbade it's being played in
any theater of that city. The scene
Of the drama is laid In CASTLE in the
fourteenth century, the chief charac-
ters being King Marco and his prime
minister, the Duke of Olvito, and their
parting has been construed as repre-
senting the severance of the relations
between Emperor William III. and
Prince Bismarck, "The Iron Chancel-

Major Chandler, well-known fisher
man, and the Lake Bomoseen game
warden narrowly escaped death at the
hands of poachers early Thursday morn
ing. The poachers were spearing bass at
the spawning grounds at the north end
of the lake. Chandler approached in a
boat and they shot at him, the bullet
grazing his face near the right eye. He
shot back at the place where he saw
smoke and heard man cry out as

peared. Major Chambers wound is not

ST. Louis Exposition.

An amazing display of science, indus
try and art. The opening of the St.
Louis exposition on April 30, proclaimed
to the visitors the truth of the promises
and prophecies which the managers of
this gigantic exhibition have been
claiming for it. 1t presented most
gorgeous and dazzling appearance. The
beautiful buildings and their various
styles of architecture, the massive ma
chinery, the varied industries with their
factories and workmen, the costly art
displays, the rare foreign exhibits, and
those two novel features, the Plateau
of States and the Pike, which completely
eclipses Chicago's Midway, amaze the
visitors. The accommodations at the
hotels are reasonable in price and first
class. The train accommodations are
perfect, and the new Wabash station
Just outside the fair grounds is where
the Boston and Maine through cars enter.
Any person intending to visit the St.
Louis exposition should send to the Bos-
ton and Maine Passenger Department,
Boston, for their beautiful illustrated
booklet, describing the exposition and
giving all necessary information in re-
gard to the rates and routes, also an
additional slip giving the diverse routes
and the rates. This book will be mailed

Woodstock Club Plants 600 Trees

The Woodstock County Club can point
to a good weeks work in setting out
over 600 pine trees on its grounds.
Friday afternoon, April 80, was the date
first set for general planting bee by the
men of the club with a lunch to be
served by the women, but rain interfered.
1t rained hard, but the trees, or part of
them, arrived so the local officers of the
club got together. and with one or two
other volunteers hustled 200 trees into
the ground under disheartening con-
ditions. The next day Mr.. Billings and
Mr.. Ashley put 225 more into the ground.
Last Friday afternoon, under fairer
skies, there was a general turnout of
members and over 200 more young trees
were added to the landscape.

deemed ''fat' enough to believe such
a statement. The merchant, however,
stuck to his story, and proceeded to
prove 1t, not only by papers of war

The WOlf-sca1p Industry Outdone.

The Ingenious boys of Western
Kansas and Nebraska, who several
years ago raised young wolves in order
to get the liberal State bounties, the
courageous men who maintained skunk
farms in order to make profit from
those fur-bearing but malodorous ami
mails, must yield their laurels to the
untutOred red man of Maine. who has
come into bold relief within the last
month. The manufacture OF the nose
of the seal-the fsh-devouring seal
is feat which almost equals the ia
bled construction of wooden nutmegs
by the Connecticut citizen. The seal
noses were made OF seal hide, neatly
fashioned to resemble a nose, the ar
tistic realism being further heightened
by the deft adjustment Of bristles for
the Whiskers. Two Of the red men
are in Jail, and their accomplishments
lead the Boston Transcript to pay them
the dubious compliment Of saying that

ing pretty good Yankee" -Philadel-

Another EDOuter.

A recent scientific budget from New
Zealand enumerates many interesting
matters. chief among which is the de-
scription Of a new geyser, which has
just sprung into existence there. This
new phenomenon was first noticed in
fantastic activity on spot where q pe-
destrian had stood only a few hours
previous to admire small lagoon.
The only evidence which marked its
creation was a succession of small
earthquakes there being about thirty
at intervals Of about half minute.
This new spouter is only few miles
from Waimangu, the greatest geyser
known, of which it is said t, be a dis
tinct prototype. Waimangu is very
Tranquil at times, but it has it's erup-
tive periods when its shoots up water,
mud, stones and steam with terrific
velocity to the distance of several
thousand feet. The steam from it's
crater sometimes rises to a height c.
i've thousand feet.
