PUPILS MUST
MEND THEIR WAYS

Judging from candid expression of
opinion INDUCED in by several mem
bers of the school board it would seem
that the boys and girls of the first
ward schools stand in danger of los
ing great deal of the freedom at pre-
sent enjoyed during the recess period,
if they do not speedily abandon sever
al practices, which reflect discredit on
the school.
Under the present rules the pupils,
especially those of the high school, at
recess are permitted to leave the school
grounds and meander to almost any
point if by so doing they get back to
the building by the time school goes
into session. The directors claim that
the boys and girls are sadly prone to
abuse these privileges.
One of the directors referred to has
noticed that the boys, who of course,
are not permitted to smoke about the
| school grounds, and who probably are
not supposed to smoke at all, at recess
seek the Y. M. @. A. and there in the
shadow of that institution which is
understood to stand for purity and
obedience IN boys, habitually indulge
in cigarettes or in pipes. This practice,
the director said, is not only detri
| mental to the boys, but it is giving a
great deal of concern to the general
secretary of the Y. NJ g. A., who is
doing what hecan to break up the
practice.
| Another director has observed that
the girls at recess habitually stroll
down town. On starting out the OBJ
jective point seems to be the post office
corner, after which in little groups
they stroll up and down Mill street.
Notwithstanding that they .are on the
principal thoroughfare and that the
streets may be crowded they have the
habit of walking abreast and crowd,
ing pedestrians, who have business OF
the sidewalk, clear off into the gutter.
The disrespect or thoughtlessness
shown by the school girls, the director
claimed, is often appalling. With arms
linked and five or six abreast
taking up every inch of room, they
come sweeping along with an utter
disregard for others. The director re-
lated an experience of his own il
which he said, he was obliged to gel
out in the gutter and hold on to &
hitching post while the phalanx OF
budding femininity swept imperious
| ly by.
Other directors expressed themselves
in the same strain, agreeing that il
less complaint is not heard concerning
the conduct of pupils the proper thir
to do will be to adopt a rule obligint
them to remain on the school ground
during recess. The matter will prob
ably be discussed at the next meeting
of the school board.

MAKE CALLS AT NIGHT.
Peculiar Custom of the Arab Ladies'
of Zanzibar.


TIE Arab ladies of Zanzibar live in
great seclusion in the large white
houses, never going out in the daytime
from one years end to another, says
the Manchester Guardian. A little
cooking and sweetmeat making Is their
only recognized employment, though
some few of them can do beautiful
silk embroidery. TO lie on their beds
and be famed by their slave girls is
The usual occupation of the richer
women.
If they want to visit their friends, Or
as is more often the case, to perambu
late the town, they wait until o'clock
In the evening, when gun Is fired
warning all Mohammedans that 1t Is
the fifth and last hour of prayer; then
they may go out. They are entirely
enveloped in large mantles and their
faces completely hidden by very ugly
gilt masks. with oblong slits for the
eyes, and many of them wear these
even in the privacy of their own homes.
Their other garments are trousers and
a tunic reaching below the knee which
Is often embroidered and trimmed with
gold braid. They have a number of
gold and silver ornaments, nose rings
and earrings. bracelets, anklets, and
so on.
They are very light in color, many of
them cream colored Their features are
regular and good, and they have dark
eyes and silky black hair. They paint
under their eyes and stain their hands
and nails a reddish color with senna.
If they want to go any distance from
home they ride through the narrow
streets on large white asses stained a
brick red. their slaves running by their
sides. but you generally meet them
stalking solcmnly along, surrounded by
their slaves, who carry enormous Ian
terms as big as London street lamp.
Very often they do not return home
till in the morning, when another
gun Is fired proclaiming the first hour
Of prayer. 1t is very awkward at times
when you meet in the streets some of
these ladies' whom you ought to know
and are greeted by them. You cannot
see their faces, 1t is not always easy
to recognize voice. and nothing would
offend them more than to ask their
names.

More rloney for State Roads.

State Highway Commissioner Hunt
er is urging upon the local authorities
of every county in Pennsylvania the
necessity of cooperating with the de-
partment for the passage, by the next
Legislature, of bill increasing the
appropriation for public roads if they
want constructed all the roads for
which certain counties have already
asked State aid. For example, the
amount of money appropriated to 3eav-
er county, which has already applied
for State aid to build fifty one mil es
of road, for use until June |, 1907, is
$42, 921.3l. The apportionment for
1907 1908 then becomes due, and
amounts to $16, 004. 40, making total
of $5S, 925. so available for use until
June /, 1908, at which time the 1908
1909 apportionment, amounting to Sl6,
004. 40, becomes due, making a total of
$74, $50. 30 available for road building
until June 1, 1909. The total State
share of roads constructed and con-
tracted for amounts to about S5S, 937.-
so. The apportionment to Beaver coun-
ty until June 1, 1908 has been entirely
consumed, and the work is consequent
ly hampered.

The Valuable "My Pretty Jane

MY Pretty Jane" was one of the
most profitable songs to the publishers
ever written. Some years ago II
brought over $4,000, yet all that Mr..
Fitzball, the writer of the words, and
Sir Henry Bishop, the composer of the
music, jointly received did not exceed
fl0. Fitzball. TO be sure, declared
that it took him just ten minutes to
write, and Bishop thought so little of
his own setting that he had thrown the
manuscript into the waste paper bas-
ket, from which it was fished out by
the manager of NauXhall Gardens
But, even So, the composer was surely
entitled to 1t proportionate reward with
the publisher. and it is not consoling to
recall the circumstance that Bishop
died almost a pauper.-Chambers
