but there might we'll be something
for good service. Be that something
ever so small it would give the boys
enthusiasm that would prove of in
calculd bic value on the work of re-
formation of character, the al ork
of the school. Work which brings to
the worker no present, tangible re-
compense is drudgery, and drudgery
seldom begets love for an industri-
Gus life, but if to drudgery there be
added love, or personal gain, at once
there is an electrical change in the
Industrial atmosphere and before he
has become aware of it, the worker
has learned to love work. l respect

coat, which l had rolled up into as
small bundle as possible, getting in
by my side and completely wedgine
me fast. My only chance to gel
loose was to back out a few feet,
and as some one was following close
at my heels l was compelled to give
him few vigorous kicks. when he
retired short distance, and l was

ed. l would have said it was at least
100 yards instead of only about GO

crawled through was to me like the
sound of wagons on covered bridge.
The opening from the tunnel came
up under an old shed with a plank
fence between the exit aud the guard
line around the prison.
A vacant lot led from this shed
toward Canal street, with a carriage
house to be passed through before
reaching it. The sentinels we're on a
line with the front of the carriage
house, and before going into the
street 1t was necessary to wait until
the guards turned their backs and
moved off in the opposite direction.
A large warehouse near this shed was
used to store hundreds of boxes con-
tanning clothing and provisions that
had been sent to the prisoners by
their friends. These boxes had been
repeatedly robbed by soldiers or cit
liens hanging about the vicinity.
1t was my opinion at the time that
the guards must have seen some of US,
but thinking 1t was raid being made
on the Yankee boxes. paid no atten-
ton to it. A lieutenant of the guard
afterwards ooIroborated this.

" Through tunnel, patiently scooped

Beneath the sentry's beat,
One hundred captured officers
Stand free upon the street.

NapoleOn'S Many Escapes.

In reply to the question in what en-
gagements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger of
losing his life. Napoleon once said,
'In the commencement of my CAM
paigns. p" Indeed, if further proof were
demanded to show that he did not
spare himself at TouIon it is only
necessary to add that during the ten
weeks of its siege Napoleon, in d Ii
tIon to a bayonet wound in his thigh.
had three horses shot under him,
while at the siege of Acre during the
expedition to Egypt he lost no fewer
than four in the same manner.
During the last days of his life
when captivity, disappointment and
sickness had we'll nigh completed
their work, it is said that the agony
of his fatal disease drew from him on
many occasions the pitifuI cry of,
"Why did the cannon balls spare
me?"
During his long military career Ma
poleon fought 90 battles while Caesar
fought but 80. In the early part of
his career he was utterly reckless of
danger while on the battlefield, and
this spirit of fearlessness contributed
largely to the love and esteem in
which he was held by his armies.
There was curious belief among the
English in Napoleon's time that he
had never been wounded, and indeed
the report was current that he care
fully if not IN a coWardIy manner
refrained from exposing himself.
Nothing could be mole contrary to
the truth, for be was in reality several
times severely wounded, but as he
wished to impress upon his troops the
belief that good fortune never desert
ed him and that, like Achilles, he
was we'll nigh invulnerable, he always
made a secret of his many dangers.
He therefore enioined once for all
upon the part of his immediate staff
the most absolute silence regarding
all circumstances of this nature, for
it is almost impossible to calculate
the confusion and disorder which
would have resulted from the slightest
report or the smallest doubt relative
to his existence. Upon the single
thread of this mans life depended
not only the fate and government OF
great empire, but the whole policy
and destiny of Europe as we'll.

does not quite reach the high standard
that should be set for it, but it is
good what there is of it. The lads
sent to Preston are very backward,
as rule, and some of them. men
grown, SCARCELY know how to read,
while the greater number of them
are in the third or fourth grades upon
their arrival at the school. At pre-
sent, nothing higher than sixth grade
work is being done, partly for the
reason that those who are more
advanced are busy all day in the
shops and on construction work.
There should be room at Preston for
some commercial school work for
those able to take it.
Manual Training.
Last year a beginning was made
at Preston School in manual training,
and good beginning it was. The
equipment is sufficient for a class of
sixteen, and two classes are held
each day, the pupils that are given
instruction reciting once a week.
The Rotations, or practice periods
are long. One class works from to
IL 80 a. m., and another from / to
$50 p. m. Ibis is not the best
arrangement that could be made. 1t
would be more to the purpose to
divide these periods into two and
give each pupil two lessons per week,
but that schedule would discommode
somewhat else, and the management
has not yet reached that state of
enthusiasm for manual training which
would prompt it to give that form of
education the right of way over the
main line, making other things side
the belated boy if such enthusiasm
for manual training we're to possess
the management.
What The Preston Boys Have Done.
The older boys at Preston School
have done a good deal of valuable
work during the last year OF two,
valuable to the institution and valu-
able to themselves. Some three years
ago the trades building burned, leav-
ing the blackened brick walls stand
ing. The last session of the Legis-
lature appropriated $50, O00.for its re-
construction and the reconstruction
work has nearly all been done, and
we'll done, by the boys. An annex
has been built OF cement blocks and
the blocks have all been made by the
boys, laid up with the aid of a super
vising mason, rooted with slate and
the interior finishing is now being
put in also by the boys. Milling
machinery was installed to aid them,
and they take great pride IN its opera
tion. Next year there Will be an
assembly ball to build, and whatever
is built should be built by the boys
and not otherwise.

Lieutenant Dunn at Mare Island is
only the beginning OF a series Of SEN
satlonal trials at the navy yard. The
evidence so far presented in the case
Of Dunn shows that for months drum
ken reveries have been of common
occurrence at the yard, and on the

by some of the officers that the ar
rest and trial OF Dunn are the result
of jealousy. It has been learned that
