SOME QUEER SCHOOLS.
For Policemen, Nursemaids, Grave
Diggers, Judges and Croupiers.

From the Boston Transcript.
There are some very strange educational
establishments open at the present day. A
school for cash boys was opened some time
ago.
According to prospectus, pupils. who
must not be under fourteen years OF age
are taught arithmetic in everyday use,
bookkeeping. penmanship and the quick
handling and counting of money. Many of
the boys who have attended the school are
earning good wages cashiers in
some of the largest stores in New York
and Chicago
1t is proposed to open in London a school
for nursemaids, where girls over sixteen
years of age may be given lessons in the
management of infants, preparing of chill
dren's food. plain sewing and laundry work
and the Kindergarten system of education.
Such an institution already exists in Ber-
lin. 1t was founded two years ago by a
clergyman. and is in connection with a
founding hospital. The growing girls of
this establishment are taught to become
competent housemaidS. and positions are
found for them in the houses of the best
families in Germany.
Russia possesses a school for policemen,
where young men are trained for the force.
The school is situated In st. Petersburg,
and in a museum connected thereto the
pupils make themselves familiar with jim
miles, drills. chisels and other tools used
by professional thieves. A particular branch
of the school is the Russian passport sys-
TEN, which every budding policeman has to
study in detail.
A remarkab bic educational establishment
is the school for judges opened recently in
Paris. Here make-bclieve trials are held
by pupils under the supervision of we'll
known attorneys. The whole procedure,
from the Issuing Of warrant for arrest
to the summing up and the judges verdict,
is carried through in a business-like
manner
At Monte Carlo there is school of Croft
piers. 1t is held during the six summer
months in the club room of the Tir aux
Pigeons and the Sale d Escrime in the
Casino building.
Here are tables similar to those in the
turn takes the role of croupier, Willie
others personate players and stake money
a table. At given instant the crou-
pier must be ready to calculate and pay
out the winning stakes.
There are usually between forty and fifty
pupils in this school. and a six months
course is generally sufficient to turn them
into finished croupiers.
A very good educational establishment Is
the school for grave diggers in Belgium. 1t
was founded by the directors of the Great
Evere cemetery, and all candidates for
posts as sections in Belgium must undergo
training in the school and pass an ex-
animation.
There are several schools of housewifery
in England. the principal of which Is con-
nected with the National Training School
of Cookery in London. Every branch Of
household man aEement is taught at this
school, the keeping of accounts the prln-
ciples of domestic sanitation and a certain
amount of sick training being included.

ministers often make today $50, 900 or
$50, 000 year. The late DR.. Talmage made
$4,000. Yet John Knox only got $500 a

more a week than Scottish judges got"

ONE OF GARIBALDrs GENERALS.
Englishman Who Received Many Ita1-
! Ian Decorations for Valor.

From the London Times.
Gen. John Dunno died on Friday at the
Victoria Memorial Hospital, Nice, at the
age of nearly eighty. He began his career
In the English army, and in the Crimean
war distinguished himself an officer Of
Bashi Bazouks. He loft the English serv-
ice with the rank of captain, and In 1850
began his romantic career under Garibaldi.
AT the request of La Farina (who was
acting under ,avour's orders) he took with
him to Sicily a Sicilian patriot named
Giacinto Scelzi, who went disguised as his
servant. Scelzi was compromised in the
patriotic movement in Sicily in 1885, and
probably would lave been shot If taken
The two landed at Messina, and then took
small boat to village on the coast
where they were Veil received and soon
gathered volunteers, of whom Dunno be-
came leader.
Marching and fighting their way across
the mountains, the little band reached
Palermo il time to take part in the last
day of the struggle before the capituation
of the Bourbon commander chief Dunno
took Scelzi to Garibaldi, to whom he also
delivered a secret message written on
small piece of paper which he had been or
dered to destroy If captured.
At Palermo Dunno raised and Disciplined
what henceforth went by the name of the
Reggimento Dunno or Reggimento Inglese
but the men were almost all Sicilians,
chiefly PalermitanS. They fought SPLEEN
didly on the critical occasion of the battle
of Milazzo, where their timely arrival saved
the fortunes of the day.
Later, on the mainland. they were incor-
porated in the brigade which Dunno COM
manded at the battle of Volturno. where he
was so severely wounded that his life was
thought to be in danger. He was celebrated
for acts of great daring, and at the same
time he always pre- rived the quiet, gentle
manners of high bred English gentleman.
Garibaldi trusted him entirely, and no Of
ficer who served under the Italian hero had
a more loyal devotion to his chief.
He often said that Garibaldi's military
ability had never been done justice to. He
! rated him as UNNECESSARILY superior to the
generals under HIM, but he thought well of
Cosenz, who was afterward minister Of
war. Gen. DUNES great desire was to be
received into tie regular Italian army; but
though the commission appointed to In
quire into the claims of Garibaldian officers
reported highly in his favor. his wish was
never gratified, because. though he had
shed his blood for Italy and materially
helped to free her. he was an Engiishman.
He received all the Italian decorations. In
