GRESHAM SCHOOL.

a public open-air school for children
afflicted with tuberculosis has been in
operation n Boston for some time past,
and out of a total enrolment of forty
three only twenty remain, the others
having been dismissed as cured. All
through the recent billiards the open
air pupils remained at their lessons,
red-faced and happy, according to the
dispatches, and those remaining are
said to be making rapid progress to-
ward recovery. Every pupil keeps a
record of his or her weight and temper
AZURE, and once every two weeks each
pupil reports at the hospital for exam
ination. The teacher in charge of the
daily routine gives the following infor-
nation regarding the school:
The children come here at $50
O'Clock i'm the morning. From then un-
iii noon they study at their desks out
in the open air. Through the morning
they have breathing exercises and a
great many other things to break up
the monotony.
AT noon they have lunch prepared
by the matron, in the kitchen DOWN
stairs. After that they come out on
the roof again and wrap up i'm blan-
kets i'll a camp chair for an hours
sleep. Then they work until $3.50 or 4
O'Clock in the afternoon. with dinner
at $50 O'Clock. They are then free TO
go home"
Fresh air is worth all the other rem
edics for tuberculosis put together. and
the Boston experiment is but another
step in advance in the right direction.

Has HOPES.

Cipriano Castro, former president of
Venezuela, has taken ship for the scene
of mis- exploits in the role of dictator.
Whether he will land in one of the
ports of the country he once ruled, or
seek asylum i'm an adjoining state un-

and the asphalt trust, the latter con-
Germ being about to enter once more
into possession of the pitch lake from
which it was ousted.
Castro carried things with a high
hand In Venezuela, and his moBumen-
tai cheek and sudacity bridged over
difficulties which seemed almost neces-
sarily fatal to his pretensions. That he
still possesses his well known presump-
tion is evidenced by the proclamation
the erstwhile dictator promulgated be
upon the sacred duty which the love
of country imposed upon him. in which
he exhausted his strength, he tells the
Nenezuelans that the merciful hand of
Providence guided his actions so that
they have always been crowned with
stupendous success. Then he says:
Thus 1 created the splendid peace
which you are now enjoying, with a til
tanie stroke of my powerful arm. which
nearly demolished three Of the might
lest nations Of the old world. Thus
Venezuela could raise its head, a free
and proud country. The great manu-
factories and all the national enter
prises, new Dorados, are the fruit of
my capable administration. And if GER
tain diplomatic negotiations were bro
ken off, the reason is that 1 shattered
the yoke of foreign control and erected

The near approach to demolition of
three mighty nations is news TO the
world at large. but perhaps the more
benighted of the Nenezuelans drink it
all in as the gospel truth and viii rally

concluding paragraph of the prociama-
ton shows that CastrO's exalted opin-
ion of himself has not been dimmed
during his association with the rulers
of Europe and presents a truly beau

it is:
''Venezueians, a great heart knows
no lust for revenge. I forgive you

FIGURES SHOW ACTIVITY.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
mills and factories are not hunminc
to the extent promised by the campaign
orators, and that Wall street is in the
dumps, so 10 speak. it is evident that
the work of manufacturing is still car
ried on at the old stands. The latest
figures given by the bureau of statis-
ties show that in practically all cases
the importations of manufacturers raw
materials in January of the present
year exceed the importations during the
same month a year ago, and in many
cases the figures are larger than those
of January, 1907, before the panic start
ed, and while all the industries of the
country were running full-handed. The
figures are given below:
