SCHOOL NOTES.
For Week Ending Friday. Aprl, srd.
hlsh School

high School.
Certificates of merit have been is
sued to those neither absent nor
tardy during the fall term. While
this comes a little late in the year,
it will doubtless aid the attendance
and punctuality Of next year. The
new high school superintendent will.
OF course, carry out the same
scheme.
We received our returns from the
state high school examinations taken
at Christmas time, and were pleased
to note that the high school is still
advancing. 1t has been our policy
to push the pupils for all they are
worth. and 1t has proven to us that
the policy is good one. Pupils are
in many cases in school but short
time, and 1t is our aim to give them
all we possibly can in short time.
A pupil in school is there to work
and get all that he possibly can out
OF his work. A person in school
work who will not follow out this
principle Is not of the sort that
will build up good school. Linton
high school is a growing school, and
we intend to follow out the same
line that we have commenced the
rest of the year, and also to endeavor
to see that it is also carried out
next year. 1t certainly is gratifying
to go out of your own town and hear
the words Of praise the Linton high
school is receiving.
We intend to start our practicing
for our commencement program
right away. This year the school
will make its own arrangements for
commencement. The state superin-
tendent believes that those who see
a grade through its course should be
the ones to have the exercises in
control, and We mean to act accord
ingly. We no longer have a coun-
try school, and hencefOrth the school
is going to be carried ON according
to the best judgment Of the princi.
pal. We. believe that our school is
going to boom more than ever mex,
year. The entire corps Of teachers
will be normal graduates, and some
OF them have high school trainins
behind them, also. A teacher il
music and drawing is also to be
added. which is in accordance witt
the regulations of the high schoo
board. A laboratory is to be install
ed. the old school house repaired ant
used as a classroom. and many new
high school subjects are TO be Of
fered. There is to be high schoo
superintendent and principal. also
The corps of teachers is TO no IN,
strongest ever brought together i,
this section of the state. II IS onl

OLD TIME SURGERY.
The earbarous Methods Of the Six.
tecnth Century.


Ambrose Pare, barber surgeon Of
the sixteenth century, tells in his notes
how in 1881 he went to the long wars
to get practice in surgery. He invent
ed some new processes. particularly In
the treatment Of amputated limbs.
Up to Pare's time the most barba-
rous means had been used to stop the
bleeding. In his own words: $50 soon
10 the limb was removed the surgeons
would use many cauteries to stop the
dow Of blood, thing very horrible
and cruel in the mere telling And
truly of six thus cruelty treated scarce
two ever escaped, and even these were
long i'll, and the wounds thus burned
were slow to heal. because the burning
caused such vehement pains that they
fell into fever, commissions and other
mortal accidents. In most of them,
moreover, when the scar fell off there
came fresh bleeding, which must again
be stanched Will, the cauteries So
that for many healing was impossible,
and they had an ulcer to the end OF
their lives, which prevented them from
having an artificial limb
The idea of abolishing such cruelty
by using the lignture occurred to Pare
In one Of his war Journeys, and his
success went beyond his own cxpecta-
lions. His other discovery was made
within few hours OF his joining the
army. 1t was believed by the surgeons
Of the day that there was poison IN a
gunshot wound, and one Of the accept
ed authorities insisted that they must
lie cauterized with oil of elders scald-
ing hot, mixed with little treacle. .
The pain was intolerable 1t happened
that at his first treatment Of gunshot
wounds Pare's oil ran short, and he
used instead "a digestive made Of the
yolks of eggs, oil Of roses and turpen.
tine" To his surprise he found next
morning that the patients he had thus
treated We're in better condition than
the others Then resolved never
more to burn thus cruelty poor men

NO COST TO DISTRICT.
Contractor to Pay Damages, if Any,
in Parsons Suit.

Whatever the outcome may be of the
suit instituted by James L. Parsons, the
contractor who erected the new District
building against the District building
commission, consisting Of the Secretary
of the Treasury and the Commissioners
of the District. for damages In the
amount of $4,000, alleged to have been
suffered by him by reason Of the failure
Of the commission to furnish cut stone
with sufficient promptness. there will be
no extra cost OF the building over the
amount contracted for.
This statement was made today by Mai.
Morrow, Engineer Commissioner and ex-
commission, when asked about the suit
of Mr. Parsons, which was filed yester-
day.
He explained that contract was made
with the firm OF B. A. and G. n. VIII
liams of New York to furnish the granite
and marble for the building, and another
contract with Mr. Parsons to erect the
building; that there was a failure on the
part OF the stone cont FACTORS 10 deliver
the stone within the time specified In the
contract, and as result the building
ommssion has determined to deduct
from this contractor the sum of s., 49S. AZ.
which was the additional cost to the
commission due to the delay. Maj. Nor
roW said: MIR. ParSon also claims that
he suffered loss through this same de-
lay and ne has instituted a suit to re-
cover same. Under the terms of the
contract with b. A. and G. n. Williams.
if Mr.. Parsons should recover judgment
against the building commission, this
would have to be eventually paid by the
Williams concern, who are responsible,
under the terms OF their contract for
all loss or damage which the building
commission suffered by III ir delay"

Ladies in Commons Gallery.

From the London ChroDlcie.
Although il was the practice in the old
days for ladies 10 sit in the gallery with
other strangers, speakers did not like the
custom. On one occasion some ladies
were making themselves conspicuous by
looking over the sentlemen's shoulders.
The spectacle irritated the speaker. who
cried out: What boroushs do those
ladies serve for?" TO which Sir william
Coventry replied: They serve for the
speakers chamber" Sir Thomas Little
ton broke in with the caustic comment:
THE speaker might mistake them for
gentlemen with fine sleeves dressed like
ladies'" To which the speaker replied:
II am sure I saw petticoats.

Century Old Custom Discontinued.


With the advancing years comes the
passing of old customs, and in Waltham
the early morning mill bell has outlived
its usefulness and its ringing is discon-
tinued after generations of use.
For nearly a century the bell on the
cotton mill of the Boston Manufacturing
Company has been rung at O'Clock
in the morning. In the early part of the
century. even before Gen Banks be-
came a bobbin boy, the O'Clock bell
called the residents OF the town from
rest to labor. II was to give the house.
keepers warning that the bell was rvns
at ) o'clock, warning that they would
have just time to get breakfast and
allow the employees to get to work at
$50 o'clock. a second bell was runs at
5:45 o'clock as warning to the chi
ployes to arise and prepare for the days
work But as the town grew methods
changed The boarding house features
fell into disuse. those who were en-
ployed in the mill moved to a more re-
mote distance and the corporation houses
passed into other hands. But the bell
system remained unchanged. Its brazen
tones fell on ears for which 1t was not
intended.
. The reason given by the management
for disseminating the bell Is that II is
not necessary; that the system calling
for its early ringing has passed away,
and because mills in other cities have
adopted the idea of less bell ringing.

NO GAME AT GEORGETOWN.
Blue and Gray Team Having a
SATURDAY. OFF.

There was no game scheduled for the
Georgetown Varsity today and hence
the crowd on the hill are enjoying a
few hours off this afternoon They have
only one more game this season, viz,
the one with Washington and Lee on
Thanksgiving day, and they are bending
all their efforts toward taking d victory
from the SouthernerS.
Yesterday there was tough twenty
minute scr:mmage between the regulars
and an eleven made up of scrubs and
preps The mixed team made the Varsity
hustle at first, and even pushed them
behind their own goal line for safety.
AT this the big bunch got hot and went
after the scrubs with such vim that they
soon had a couple of touchdoWnS to
their credit.
One of the features of the contest was
the work Of Coach Newman. who was in
the scrubs line. Time and again he
opened big holes for the back field to
plunge through and once he gave the
spectators treat when he took the pig
skin for long end run.
Before the boys on the hill practiced
the. field was occupied by the Y. +. /.
squad OF Blacksburs. Va These fellows
meet the Navy tomorrow, and while en-
route they stopped over i'll this city tor
the purpose of getting in an hours work.
The Georgetown management cheerfully
gave them the use of their grld.ron ana
endeaVored to make things pleasant Tor
them while within the gates. II is likely
that these two teams VIII met over the
pigskin next season, as Assistant Man
ager Murray of Georgetown was yestci-
day assured by the " u. L. leader that
they would be glad to play game In
this city next fall.
Tomorrow morning the freshmen and
sophomoreS will clash in the second game
of the college interclass series. This
contest was TO have come off last Sun
day. but weather conditions made post
poncment necessary. The line-ups as
given in these columns d week ago today
will remain unchanged.

HARvARD's POOR RECORD.
Crimson Has Won Only Three
Games Out Of Twenty-Seven.

Harvard and Yale have met on the grid
iron twenty-seven times since 1876, in
which time Harvard has won only three
games. Three have been tied. and Yale
has won twenty-one. Yale has won for
six consecutive years. Harvard's last VIC

In the time that the games have been

have been one or two breaks the last

were played.
