RAILROAD COMPANY BUYS TIES
 FROM HAWAII AND JAPAN.

The striking instance of the scarcity of timber suitable for railroad ties in the United States is seen in the recent purchase of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company of g. SOO,OOO ties of Ohia wood from a lumber company operating 1n the Hawaiian Islands. 1t has been difficult for some time for the railroads of this country to obtain wooden ties satisfactory both in quantity and quality, and many of them have been looking about for an oppOrtu- nifty to purchase tie timber in other countries.
 During a recent trip of this kind by a representative of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company arrange ments were made for the pur- chase of ties, not only in the Hawaiian Islands, but also in Japan. 1t is stated that ties from Japan will be made from a

Heart
 Troubles

The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. It often happens that a person is born with a weak heart. Then again dis ease, levers, over-exertion, anxiety, nervousness, rheumatism, etc. weaken the heart. The result is shortness of breath, pal pltation, pain in the heart, or in some of the nerves of the chest or abdomen. The heart should be strengthened with a tonic, and for this nothing equals Dr. Niles Heart Cure.

The fact that the pupils are at liberty to explore the hillsides and woods. opens the way for awakening an interest in nature. and since the surrounding country abounds in unus. ual. as we'll as the common kinds of bird and plant life. while in the rocks and minerals there is great variety the young naturalist finds wide field of discovery.

BUILDINGS.

The Gunnery buildings are on the southern slope of the village hill. and all the boys rooms have sunny ex- posture. The main building is of three
 stories, and within the last few years it has been added to and modernizeG in various ways. It is h eated by steam and lighted by electricity. The Bartlett dormitory, erected in 1904, has modern accommodations for 23 boys and two masters. It also has ample shower-bath and locker facilities. The Bartlett has just been enlarged by an addition built on the north and east sides, Dallas Wyant having the con- tract. The schoolhouse contains two study rooms for upper and lower school respectively, recitation rooms, phy- sics apparatus room and a chemical laboratory. In smaller building very near to, but not connected with, the main building, the laundry work is done, and here, too, the servants all live. An abundance of pure running water is supplied from spring on an eastern hillside. The gymnasium is located on the ball ground, which is di- rectly across the street from the main house. In this is an excellent room for basket ball games. There are also tennis courts.
 ADMISSION, LIFE, ETC.
 In general, the only requirement for admission is good character. Boys whose influence is in any way harmful will not be retained. Punctual and regular attendance upon all school and family exercises is insisted upon. In every department of the school and family life, the honor principle is used as the basis of the relations between teachers and scholars, so-far as the ] situation will admit of its being em- BAtApysd s9s}Kfk for the natural and heatthfuI development of a spirit of self-respteaea1,t a1,tsoRiaM Maa@h for others,

 The Gunnery was founded by MT F. W. Gum about 1850. Under his man. agement, the school became very well known. Writers have occasionally made 1t the subject of newspaper and maga- zine articles. and under the name of Birds Nest" DrJ. c. Holland intro duced it into his novel Arthur Bonni- castle" In 1874, John c. Brinsmade, a graduate of Harvard, and nephew of Mrs Gum, became assistant teacher in the school; in 1876 he married MT Gunn's daughter. and on the death of MT Gum in 1881, he became principal of the school, and has remained such ever since. Mrs Brinsmade has shared with her husband the responsibilities and duties connected with the man. agement; her connection with the family life has been and is an intimate one. She is the active mother head. The aim has been to follow as closely as possible the best tradi tions of the old Gunnery; to preserve the spirit while changing the letter to suit the growing demands for improved meth ods and appliances in education. The following extract from an article in the New York Evening Post in 1881, is applicable to the Washington of to- day: "The town of Washington has been as uni que in it's way as the Gun nery itself. The village is perched up- on hill, looping with precipitous sides down to swift river. All around lie rich farms, broken by wild stretches of swamp, ravine and woodland. Nature and the hand of man have both done their best to make the region at once fruitful and picturesque. Crime and vice have been almost unknown; for 50 years a rumshop has never been opened in the village, except as rash and transitory experiment; the dwell- ings never used to be locked at night, the neighbors ran in and out of the open doors as fir eely as if all houses were owned in common. Add to these, social traits of the village, hospitality, and unbounded local pride, and one can see how favorable were the surround ings for training spot for boys. The boys needed no rigid bounds, no narrow code of rules as to going here or not going there, for go where they would in the village, they could find only in- centives to good conducts" A corre- spondent of the Springfield Republi- can, in his account of the school re- union of 1892, says: "Now that ones eyes have been opened to the vernal glories of the most beautiful region in the state, and have studied even from within the innermost circle the fasci- mating story of an institution truly rare, feeling of compassion arisesssfor so many others to whom these things that are, remain unknown.
