fell to the floor and was smashed. Mrs.
Andrews told her husband of what had
happened, and he spoke to Mr.. Doug

when Mrs. Douglas closed door she
should consider possible vibratory ef-

that Mrs. Andrews had been talking in

else he might be provoked to compel
Mrs. Douglas to eat her words, to
which Mr.. Douglas retorted by striking
Mr.. Andrews below the left eye. For

charged with battery.

said Mr.. Douglas, "and 1t wouldn't

Both hands went out simultaneously

many such evolutions have been per-

"Do you not think that God governed
the world very well before you came into

Undoubtedly do, said Whitelock.

ChicagO.-From the pleasure OF labor
day frolics TO the schoolrOOm was the
experience Of some 100000 Chicago
youngsters. They started into not only
a new year Of study, but a new method
Of study as well.
The course of study that has been In
vogue in Chicago's schools up to the
opening of the present term was adopt
I'd seven years ago. During that seven
years the whole system has been at
tackled time and again as being sense
less 10 a large extent. and many par
ents have signed for the return Of the
old days of the orthodox three RS The
work of revising the school study sys-
TEN has been IN progress for the last
two years, and the educational author
tiles believe it is now as near perfectly
adapted to modern requirements as il
is possible to get
Under the system now in vogue the
pupil will not only learn that three feet
make one yard, but with the aid OF a
rule will learn just how long three
feet are. That Is the spirit Of the new
educational system, and II will be car
ried through the greater number Of
studies. Drawing is given more impor-
lance, so that the pupils may make de-
signs Of what they are studying about.
Nature study occupies an important
place. but It differs In the different
schools Of the city. according TO the
material at hand
More attention than ever Is being
paid to the study Of the English Ian
guage, and it is in this that the new
system shows the most pronounced
change from the old. Instead OF an
alyzing sentences from a grammar the
pupil is now taught to write sentences
of his own. From the lowest grades
the little tots must write letters to each
other that they may in this way be-
come familiar with the use Of correct
English. Chicago teachers are expect
ing excellent results from the new sys-
lem.

Rest in the silent deep.

That It is Sundays face
That beams upon them with 80 fair
And delicate a grace;
The smallest blossom on the sod
Seems holding some new thought Of God
The fragrant breezes whisper rest.
The Sunday faces glow
With some still brightness from within
The week days never know.
The Sunday step is light as air.
Tbs Sunday Joy is everywhere.
And when the shadowy evening falls
And soft stars edge the hills
a peace that is not Of the world
The broOding silence Nils,
There Is no dread of mOrrOw's care.
The blossoms fold ike hands In pray yer.
And all the weary heated week,
Sweet remnants OF her rest
The heart boards softly TIL once more
she comes with healing biest.
And the clear music Of the bells
Again upon the silence swells
