Forty Suffering Students Had to Leap for Their Lives at
 Brighton, III.
SCHOOL FOR STRAWBERRIES IN
 THAT TOWN DESTROYED BY FIRE

St Louis. Jan 19.-Forty students had thrilling escapes from death III lire. discovered al a. m-, when completely destroyed the Dodge & Clark school for stammerers. at Brighton, H., % miles north of St. Louis.
 Most of them saved their lives by coming down lightning rods from the windows of their rooms or by leaping to the branches of a tree which stood near one end of the building.
 One student was severely burned, but no lives were lost.
 The fire illuminated the surround ing country for miles and brought the entire population of the town and the surrounding neighborhood to the scene. Before the people arrived in sufficient number to fight the fire the flames had gained such headway that the building was doomed
 The building was large three-story brick. the largest and finest in the town. and its pride. The present build ing was almost new.
 The fire was discovered at about the same time by Clinton Clark, night watchman of the town, and Henry | Dodge. superintendent and one of the proprietors of the institution.
 Mr. Dodge occupied apartments on the second floor with his wife and two small children. He was up at o'cloch attending to the wants of his younges child who was unwe1I. when his at tention was attracted by glare at thu east end of the building. He raI out and found that the east end of tn building was in flames

Sophron, a wise teacher, did not al
low his grown-up sons and daughters

was not perfectly correct and proper.
"Dear father said the gentle Eula-

her going in company with her brother
to see the light-minded Lucinda, "you

think she can do us any harm!'

SHIPS BUILT By SAvAGES.
South Sea Is1anders Are Expert in Ma
riue Architecture.

South Sea Islanders Are Expert in Ma
rine Architecture. - b
In the Marshall group of islands in
the south seas is little atoll of coral
known as Likieb atoll. 1t is hundreds
Of miles away from any other island,
and the natives go half naked like the
other jewellers of the south seas. But
they have learned one great civilized
art, just the same, and that Is the art
Of building ships. ...-
About forty years ago a Portuguese
sailor was landed there from a whal.
ing ship. When his vessel sailed away,
he remained behind, for the lazy
charm Of the; Pacific island life had
tempted him and he had decided to
leave the restless sea and live the rest
Of his days on the warm, sleepy
beaches, where no one worked.
Soon he married the daughter of a
chief and became a trader. After
many years an American captain Wis
tied the islands during a trading voy-
age in the south seas and when his
vessel shortly afterward became un-
seaworthy he set to work on the beach
to build new one
The Portuguese whaler's two sons
helped him and learned a great deal
about the operation. The island had
fine, hard wood on it, just the kind Of
timber that shipbuilders value because
1t will not rot or waterlog readily. The
captain at last succeeded in finishing a
good 4O-ton schooner and sailed away
in her.
Before long the two boys had begun
to teach the natives something of what
they had picked up and soon, instead
of the primitive canoes and dugouts
that the Marshall islanders have been
using for centuries, the folk of the
Likieb atoll began to build canoes
made of carefully fashioned lumber
and pinned together with rivets.
Now there is real shipyard on this
little speck lost in the wide Pacific
A high roof under the palms on thu
beach greets the mariner and when hi
lands he sees vessels, modern tools
lying around and everything looking
Just as 1t does in a shipyard anywhere
on the American coast only instead OF
workmen in overalls he sees dark ma.
tives with hardly any clothing.
The wood from which the knees and
timbers are cut comes from an island
on the western side Of the lagoon. II
Is called kauoe and is extremely hand
some, looking much like black walnut
1t has the valuable property of grow.
Ing harder as 1t grows older and makes
| fine vessels.
Tools-all of them of the best kind
wood for spars, etc., are shipped to
Likieb atoll now from New Zealand
and the boats that are turned ont in
the savage island have been compared
with American and English built ves-
sells that have touched at the place and
found to be excellent in every respect
The savage shipbuilders have n
queer scale of prices. If chief wants
a schooner of, say, II tons, built for
him, they charge him $1,000 for It. but
II a poorer person wants the same
kind of vessel they will charge manv
hundred dollars less. They do mi.
quite openly and explain 1t by saving
that the chief being rich can AFFORD IN
pay more than a poor person for the
same thing.-Washington Post

And how those two did fght,-sometimes rising up on their hind legs, and each endeavOring to get on top, meanwhile growing and snapping like a pair of bull-terrieTs. Finally the original possessor of the fragment succeeded in driving his oppO- nent away; but when he looked about for his possession, behold, it had gone; another of his enterprising brethen had taken advantage of the confusion caused by the fight, and had appropri- ated the coveted property to his own good use. The first owner at once set off to hunt for this piece of chicken or another one, and what the outcome would have been don't know for the incident was brought to sudden and unexpected close.
 As I was watching the cubs. I now caught sight of three vixen, who had evidently been lying somewhere behind the sand heap which marked the mouth of her den. She arose to her full height with her nose pointed in my direction, and her ears cooked forward. I was not aware that had made the slightest sound, but evidently I had, and now even held my breath in the hope that she would accept me as part of the landscape. and lie down again. But suddenly, from the wood behind me, came a loud, explosive snort, followed by startling crash, and l turned in time to see a deer dash away through the trees and bushes, its erect white tail rising and falling as it leaped over logs and rocks which lay in it's path. When it had gone, turned my head, but the foxes had disappeared, so arose, and, after stretching myself to take out the kinks, started on the trail of the deer.

may. Hence, home that is the harbor for the husband becomes wearisome prison for her, from which she is only too glad to escape on any pretext."
 And for the irksomeness of home to thz homemaker Lady Campbell names three causes. Among the upper and middle classes" there are two, namely. women's clubs and bridge. In the low CT class it is religious revivaIs. It may be that clubs and bridge do interfere with the home duties and the home life of some women. UnquestiOnably they do if the practice by women of playing cards for money is as general as Lady Caplnben seems to intimate. Upon this subject she says: The passion for bridge has accentuated 0 thousandfold the dislike of home which was begun by women's clubs. The overmastering desire to obtain money which has not been earned by work is about the most disintegrating and vulgar passion to which human being can fall. and when an idle woman gives way to this insidious excitement home life may call in vain. The worst part of the bridge craze is its effect on young girls. What chance is there of a girl ever develop ing love of home when she has once drunk deep of the excitement of after moons and evenings devoted to bridge and the winning or losing of money?
 Sad enough and bad enough. Let us hope that the women will pay attention to what Lady Campbell tells them. It will do no harm to hope.

,rAxr pErEcrIrE CHILDREN.

Some of the educators notions can be sharply criticized, but there doesn't seem to be much ground for criticism of the medical examination of children in the New York schools. The result of an examination of the physical con- dition of the children in four of the primary schools in New York, which has just been compiled, is startling in it's portent. Out of 13,949 children who were examined, 6,294 were found to be in need of medical attention. 3,219 hav- ing defective vision. In other words, every other child examined was defec- tive, and many children who were put down as dull by the teachers were found to be defective in vision or hear ing, which explained their apparent stupidity.
 This is not a comforting showing. But comfortable or uncomfortable the truth in this matter should be made plain, and then steps taken to correct as much of the defect as can be cor- rected.
