The boys are taught in forms ranging from
twenty to thirty, and are coached by theH
tutors, who ordinarily masters OF the houses
where they live and work. They study under
the personal direction of their tutors, and If
habitually indolent, stupid or disordery are re-
ported to the headmastcr for discipline, either
by birching expulsion While they are con-
stantly in touch with these advisers they are
also subject to the legaIized authority of the
monitors. These are sixth form boys, who are
formally presented with the keys of the library
IN a speech room ceremony and are allowed to
wear a hat ribbon with a pair of arrows en-
broidered on it. There are twenty of them, and
they are held responsible for the maintenance
of discipline and a good standard of manners
and conduct in the houses. in the classrOoms
and the school grounds. The head boy of
each house, instead of being spy in the ser
vice of the masters is an arbiter empowered to
repress violence and bullying and to punish
his fellows for rudeness, offensive language and
other minor offences. He is not merely the
judge, but also the eXecutoner, for he cane
the lower boys across the shoulders; but usually
corporal punishment takes place in the pres
ence of the entire corps of monitors, ana is Inn
tied to ten strokes. The school sports are dl-
rected by the captain of the cricket eleven ana
bv the monitors. and cricket tagging is recog-
nized duty Of the smaller boys The really i'm
portant disciplinarian is the head boy in each
house, who maintains order by sending boys to
their rooms, deprving them Of companions and
Gaming them at his own discretion He also
regulates the system of tagging, by which the
lower boys are required to look after fires serve
breakfast and tea, do minor errands and let
down the folding beds at night The head boy
assigns the Tags to duty in regular order and
Furnishes them for disobedience or bad manners.
Discipline is enforced without reference to wealth
or rank Harrow with all its social prestige.

Snobbishness is taken out of uppsh. spoiled

force respect for the academic tradition Man

AN AWKWARD ERROR.

An American at Gibraltar entertained Charles
Dana Gibson at dinner in the late fall at 1he
Bristol.
when Mr.. Gibson rose to reply to a toast. he
was little embarrassed.
.I have not the gift of oratory." he began,
"and that is awkward. Indeed to be deficient in
anything is awkward isn't it? 1t is especially
awkward to be deaf.
AT a dinner at Dark Harbor last summer
deaf old man sat beside young and beautiful
girl.
"eDc YOU like bananas?' the girl said to the
old man during the first course in a low, sweet
voice.
HE, however misunderstood her in his deaf
ness. He thought she said 'pajamas-' And ne
replied:
mo like the old fashioned nightshirts
best"

multiplied. With a modest foundation as a
local charity, Harrow has become great school,
because the old boys have been constant IN their
loyalty and have made a generous response to
every appeal for subscriptions The famous
names carved in the oak of the old fourth room
or engraved in the memorial aisles of the chapel
create an enthusiasm for the school that never
fails to inspire affection and gratitude. Harro-
VANS return on Speech Day in July and on
Founders Day in October to sing the old songs
and to renew their youth as they saunter across
the yard where the roll was called on half
holidays and thence down the long flight of
steps to the milling ground. Careers at the uni
versties, in the professions and in public life
may have interviewed, but Harrovians never
cease to take pride in the fortunes of their
houses, such as the Moretons, the Grove and all
the others, and to love and honor the old school.
On these dull wintry days in summer the
Harrow boys wear broad brmmed straw hats
with blue ribbons, and when they are too big for
the Elton jacket wear old fashioned black tail
coats with black ties The school dress has not
changed in half a century and it contrasts well
with the Elton top hats and white ties at the an
nual cricket match at Lords, when smart socf-
ETY. assemblies to watch the rival fannelled play
ers and to gossip about weddings and theatres.
The two schools were formerly we'll matched,
but during recent years Harrow has been stead
lily improving in play, owing, perhaps to the
fact that rowing is not counter attraction as
it is at Elton. While there is no river for water
men, there is picturesque bathing place across
the meadows from the terraces This is the
Quicker" with bridge, diving boards asphalt
paths, dressing Sheds trees and clock tower;
and every Harrow boy is forced to practise there
in summer until he swim long distance
and prove his efficiency in diving before the
pass judges. Cricket, racquets and fves are
the summer sports. and during the winter there
is a constant succession of house contests in
''footer," form of football played here as 1t is
in no other public school Practice fo- the school
athletic sports is kept up all the year round and
on the rawest days scores of boys are to be seen

THE STANDING ORDER.

Newlin Haines of the Atlantic City Hotel
Mems Association, was talking about the odd
rules that prevail in many Of the cheaper res
taurants and cafes.
For instance" he said, Il go in and order
oysters, salad and dessert. and get a napkin;
hut the man next to me- because he has only
ordered pie and milk, can't have a napkin on any
account
"a guest here last summer gave me the best
example of these absurd rulings and diferentia-

cafe in London, an ornate place with counter

ROTH WERE BARBAROUs.

Professor Starr, the famous ethnolog1st, was
in his humorous and whimsical way accusing
woman Of barbarism.
"And she is not only barbarous-she is ilIogl-
cal and inconsistent" he exclaimed
"I was walking in the country one day with a
young woman. In a grove we came upon boy
about to shin up tree. There was nest IN
the tree, and from certain angle it was pos

FAMILIAR.

a large touring automobile containing a man
and his wife in narrow road met a hay wagon
fully loaded. The woman declared that the
farmer must back out, but her husband con-
tended that she was unreasonable.
But you can't back the automobile so far"
she said, land I don't intend to move for any
body. He should have seen u.s.
The husband pointed out that this was i'm
possible, owing to an abrupt turn in the road.
81 don't care" she insisted. Il won't move
If we have to stay here all night
The man in the automobile was starting to
argue the matter when the farmer, who had
been sitting quietly on the nay, interrupted

back out. I've got one just like her at home"

too, that when the leak Is small there IS
no drop or damp spot anywhere to show

ICES as fast as It cxudcs.
Don't slop the stun, Tor O. is more dam
gcrous than powder. Thrce-fourths OF the
stove accidents occur while huing the

Don't keep gasoline in any jug or In a
can larger than two gallons because &c Is
difficult to pour the thin stun from either

cause currents Of air draw out the vapor.
The reservoir OF every gasoline stove
should be outside the building the feed
pipe passing through the wall. IL so
placed, heat from the stove cannot burst

ignite while It Is being filled. The stove
should be fixed TO a permanent foundation
so that it cannot be set against any in
flammable material
All gasoline stoves should have bottom
and three Sides closed to prevent com
bustible material from reaching the flame,
and the main burner CRATES should be two
feet from the floor. Finally, don't hunt the
