Murray and Mack.

The crowd at the BiJou theatre last night filled that popular playhouse to the doors. The antics of ollie Mack were as usual, mirth-provokng, and Murray contributed his share to the fun-making. Around the Town" is certainly doing phenomenal business this week, fact which is largely due to the popularity of the two comedians.
 A matinee will be given this afternoon and the usual performance tonight.
 .-~~~~~>~~>>>>>>~>~>~> Domestic hygiene and home nursing will be the subject in the fourth year. Five lessons will be given each week in do- mestic science.
 In the manual training department the following special lines will be taught: First year. joinery and bench work; sec ond year, wood turning and pattern mak- ing; third year, forge work; fourth year, instructions in the machine shop.
 Five topics of study--four majors and one minor-will be the general require ment for each semester. The minors of- fered are: Vocal music. freehand draw ing, mechanical drawing. domestic science aIu pHy siCai Cutuft. VI thcSe HlluoTSs vocal music and freehand drawing are two-year topics; the others continue for four years.
 A teachers meeting will be held Sat- urday morning at the High school build ing at the corner of Park avenue and Twenty-first street. At that meeting the final assignment of teachers will be made.
 The three new school buildings will not be completed in time. The lease on the old High school building has been re- newed until January 1. and 1t is thought that the new building will not be ready before that time. The two new elemen- tary school buildings, the Barker and the South Highlands will not be ready for several weeks. and 1t is probable that they will not be entered before tho sec- ond term commences in February.

Little signs of wear should re- ceive immediate attention. Look carefully at the prongs which hold diamond or other precious stone in place in its setting. Better bring it in to let us see it. A little strengthening-a little filing in" will make the stone secure in its mounting and spare you the regret and money loss due to a lost stone. This sort of repairing should not be post poned.

Thoughtful.

General "Joe" Wheeler relates the
following amusing incident that took
place during the night Of the Ell Caney
affair:
General Lawton's division was
marching back to El Poey, there to
take up new position in the morn
ing. The General, in company with
Major Creighton, inspector general Of
his staff, was standing at the edge Of
the road, watching his troops file past.
Just as the dawn was breaking the
colored troops came in sight. They
gave evidence Of being dead tired, but
were nevertheless full Of ginger
General Lawton's attention was at
tracted to a certain corporal Of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry, great foot
negro, who, in addition to a couple of
guns and two cartridge belts loaded
full. was carrying dog. The soldier
10 whom the other gun belonged was
limping alongside his comrade.

A Taste for Jewels.

M. Carcenat, jeweler in the Rue
Lecourbe, discovered that number of
precious stones had disappeared from
his stock and at once reported the mat
ter to Nj. Raynaud, commissioner Of po-
lice.
On the visit of the latter to the
shop, in order to conduct an inquiry,
he was at once struck by the chatter
ing Of a parrot, which was moving
freely around the shop, and 1t occurred
to him that the parrot might be the
thief. He accordingly communicated
his suspicious to the jeweler, and the
latter, while stoutly maintaining the
innocence of the bird, agreed to have
an emetic administered. The result
was that the parrot disgorged over
f20O worth of diamonds and precious
stones. In future the delinquent was
chained to his perch.-Paris CORE

Mystery of Craters,

Everybody who has seen a chart of
the moon as drawn by astronomers
knows of the curious, Irregular, ragged
rings which have been called moon
craters' for many years.
Now astronomers have raised the
question whether or not they really are
the craters of extinct volcanoes, as has
been supposed for so long, One of them
asks:
How would the ocean bottoms of
the earth appear to a man in the moon
IL all our seas were to disappear"
Exactly as the moon craters look to
u.s." Is the answer
So now some Of the astronomers are
interested In the attempt to prove that
the moons curious surface is not at all
volcanic, and that the "craters" are
nothing more nor less than coral reefs
and the remains of other coral-like
structures which have been left high
and dry by the evaporation Of lunar
oceans.

Persons with Royal Blood In Russia

The romantic story OF Princess
Helene Zulukidse, who Is working as

is by no means SO startling an occur
renee as might be supposed. In many
parts of the continent the fathers title
Is inherited by all his children, and
there are several 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 official documents, and on leaving
their homes many Of these peasant
princes find themselves sadly ham,
pered by the burden Of high-sound-
ing title.
They cannot get rid of the titles,
however, as they are purely personal
ones, and not marketable commodities
like SO many in Italy and Portugal,
and by the police regulations no EN-
ploye can be engaged without showing
his papers" in which his rank, age
and occupation are stated. Needless
to say, few people are willing to en-
gage a workman of legally far higher
rank than themselves, and an instance
of this hardship came to my persona
knowledge recently. The newly-mar
ried French wife of a wealthy Rus
sian noble was about to engage Rus
sian maid at st. Petersburg, when, or
seeing "the papers,' she discovered
that the girl was princess and {
member of a well-known but ruinet
family.

employment for months, but the lad,
declined to engage her.

Now an odd thing will happen; the
paper will be sure to move on the

You should previously have found
where the center Of area Is by drawing
lines from any two angles to the cen

CHAPTER vi.

The days work was done, and l went
down into the kitchen to have my tea
and nv confidential talk with Martha.
In this last intention, however, was
doomed to be disappointed. Her master
had entrusted her with certain commits
sions that obliged her at once to set out
for Bury. So l was left alone. AS
soon as l had finished my solitary meal,

orchard. Lying down In the shadow of

Loneliest Spot at Sea.


The loneliest spot in the ocean, ac-
cording to Sir John Murray, while talk
ing with friends at the recent geo.
graphical congress in New York, is
Rockall, British possession in the
Atlantic ocean about 1S6 miles from St.
Kilda, In the outer Hebrides, and about
200 miles from the Scottish coats. 1t Is
a rock about $50 feet in circumference,
rising to sheer height Of seventy feet
from the surface of the sea. It is
surrounded by thirty fathoms Of water,
with neither shoal nor beach. No In
habitant has ever lived on this island
On only two occasions, so far as
known, has man set foot on it. 1t can
not be lighted nor buoyed for the bene-
fit Of mariners. The difficulty of get
ting on is exceeded only by the danger
Of getting off.
