cry out quite loudly and say he had hurt

The little boys who watched us yelled
with laughter; and SO / Immediately ordered
them off the ground. But as there was no

about the doors and peeped around the COT

him to the matron.

fuming as if some real accident had occur

And then proceeded to explain that it
would be better to begin with dumb bells
and Indian clubs; from these we could go
on to bar-bells and Swedish drill, and final
ly graduate on the horizontal and parallel
bars.
But he cut my remarks short (very un-
feeling, / thought) by saying that it would
be time enough to think of taking the boys
through these exercises when I had thor
oughly mastered them myself; that he would
secure competent teacher for next, term;
and that it was great mercy nothing more
serious had occurred.
Of course I saw it would be useless to
argue with such an unreasonable opponent,

gymnastic training

and, when found pair, 1 retreated with
them to my bedroom.

citement; l felt that physically / could as

my arm bound up and put in sling. The
delay caused by this accident only intensi-
fled the boys impatience to begin.
At length my arm was all right; the bar
had come, and so had the day. Six of the
older boys were neatly dressed in gymna-
sium uniform, and, with the principal at
their head. marched across the playground
to the bar.
/ followed, and owing to my shortsighted-
ness and pardonable nervousness walked
sharply up against one of the uprights, great
ly to the delight of the juniors, who stood
in knot a little way off.
At this juncture the principal fortunately
for my selfpossession, was called away to
see some visitors.
The six boys stood in a row-tallest on
the right, shortest on the left. l will de
scribe them in order, beginning from the
right, and give the mental note made of each
boy.

ous eyes. Must watch this boy.)

and pugnacious. Must sit on him.

everlasting grin. IWill cause anxiety)
Harry Oopche, small, light, delicate,

as an owl. Must put damper on him. J
They did not look like gymnasts, four OF
them being so fat with great. muscles in the
legs, and~two with no muscles at all.

and began:
"Now, boys, stand thus! Heels together,
heads up; spring up to the bar and steadily
raise yourselves till you breast it-soi'
I struggled with might and main to do it,
but could only succeed in raising my toes
about three inches from the ground

aggravating manner, and l warned him.

forts, and so, feeling considerably fustered,

against the bar that I had to drop off i'm
mediately and rub the injured part for some
time.
just then I perceived Harry Couche exc
outing an Indian war dance, TO the uncon-
trollabe delight of the other gymnasts, and
more particularly of the group of small
boys, who betrayed such an interest in our
proceedings | glared at him over my glass
es and threatened to punish him most Sc
verely. Then we proceeded with the exer-

to the matron,s room to get his injuries at

again for his misbehavior.

mattress.

ried, am afraid boxed his ears harder
than | intended. At all events, he was not
fit for gym practsce that day, and so

On my next attempt I almost succeeded
in doing the "upstart;" but, as / came down
rather heavily on my chest, was obliged
to get off and cough for some considerable
time. / remarked that the four remaining
boys were also coughing very much and u.s.

They all made wretched attempt at the
"upstart," and Charles Leanham, Che clum-
sy boy. gave me kick in the chin, as
stood below the bar to help him in case Of
accident; but, as he dropped rather sharp
ly on the bar, in vain. endeavor to accom-
plish his task. and as he would keep his
tongue lolling out. was obliged to send
him to the matron to get that member re-

ton, and as he walked away I thought I

The principal, in one of his letters. ex-
pressed his satisfaction at my undertaking
to teach a class in gymnastics, as he con-
sidered the physical side of school life ought
not to be neglected.
I was delighted; Instructing others in
gymnastics would be real pleasure and
would astonish both principal and pupils.

knot Of the senior boys fixing up the hori-

At supper that evening nothing was talk

A new bar had been ordered from Boston,
the old mattress was being repaired, dumb
bells and Indian clubs were to be got with
out delay, and new elimbingpole would

BANCROFT NOW THE ITAscA.
Revenue Cutter Service Cadets to
Make Long Cruise.

The United States revenue cutter service
cadet training ship Itasca. formerly the
naval gunboat Bancroft, had a trial run
on the lower Chesapeake bay today. and If
no defects are developed in her boiler and
machinery she will sail at once for Balti-
more to be fitted out for the summer cruise
of the classes of cadets for the revenue
service training school at Arundel Cove,
near Baltimore. The Bancroft has been at
the Newport News shipyard for several
months past undergoing general overhaul
ing of hull and machinery and being fitted
for service as a training ship.
The classes of the revenue service school
are now aboard the old sailing bark Chase,
Which has been used as a training ship for
a number of years past, and are cruising
on Chesapeake bay, receiving practical in
struction in handling sails and other navi-
cation work. After a visit to the James
town exposition the Chase, some time in
the latter part of this month, will return
to Arundel Cove and the cadets will be
transferred to the Itasca for a cruise at
sea, which will end in September and which
may include visit to a number of foreign
ports. The itinerary of this cruise is now
being prepared by the officers in charge Of
the revenue service training school.

NO CANAL BONDS NOW
CoRTELY0U SAYS TREASURY
SHOWING Is SATISFACTORY.

There is no longer any doubt as to Secre-
tary Cortelyou's intentions with respect to
the issue Of Panama bonds. After giving
the question much thought he definitely an
nounced yesterday that there is at present
no necessity for such issue. The matter,
therefore. may be regarded as settled for
at least several months, and possibly for a
much longer time. The S36 100000 per
cent bonds which will mature July next
VIII be redeemed in full on and after that
datss"- the $30O00,O00 government deposits
which were called from the national depos-
ftary banks last Wednesday being used for
that purpose.
The treasury working balance is about
N4OOOOOO, and in addition, there is depos-
tied In the national banks about $172, 600 .Oe0
which Is subject to call, and therefore
available at all times. This makes a bal
ance of $2460OO.OOO. exclusive of $l2, 200, 900
IN unexpended balances, in the hands of
diseursing officers. The receipts to date
rtor-the present fiscal year amount to over
$62S,OO0,OOO. and the disbursements to some
thing ever 1854 100000 which leaves a sur
plus of $74,O00,0O0.
: This surplus is likely to be Increased by
July l, the close Of the fiscal year. from
$s5.OOOOOO to $90OOO.OO0. On July l. 1905,
the surplus was only about SIS 800 600
which Is an increase for the year of ap-
proxmately $63, 600 OOO The only extraor-
binary expenditures looked for during the
coming year will be for the construction of
the Panama canal, for which the disburse-
menus now amount to about 81 10000 a
month"; and unless there is a large and
wholly unlooked-for Increase in the rate of
canal expenditure the treasury, 1t is be-
heved, will be abundantly able to meet all
calls upon 1t and still have a surplus on
July /, 1905
This. estimate is contingent upon a con-
t1nuatlon Of the, present rate Of receipts
Under this highly satisfactory showing
Secretary Cortelyou says he does not be-
lieve 1t would be good administration to

to do away with scissors for cutting the
thread. 1t comprises a pair of pivoted
blades the handles of which are set at an
angle. At the end of one handle Is a slot
and in the other lug, to limit the move
ment of the blades. In use the thread
cutter is placed in the palm of the hand
being held in position by a loop which
slips over the little finger. 1t is claimed
that it can be kept in the palm of the
hand without interfering with the opera
ton while sewing, there being perfect free
dom of the fingers at all times. A slight
twist of the fingers is all that is required to
operate the cutter to break the thread.
