Of each shorthand principle, and this
training is supplemented by graded speed
dictation classes, in which the matter
dictated Is selected carefully with specia
reference TO the work that the students
are preparing for.
The visitor at the Milton School can
not fail to be impressed with the at
moSphere of earnest endeavor every
where apparent. The efforts OF the pu-
pills to increase their skill in stenog-
raphy and typeWriting meet with ready
and willing response on the part Of ex-
perienced teachers, who are no less
eager to extend helpful suggestions and
hasten the progress of each individual
The principals are tireless in their at
tention to every detail likely to be of
value to their students. from the all
important matter of placing the classes
under experienced, competent and prop
erly qualified Instructors to the slight
est detail that will make for the ad-
vantage or even the personal comfort
Of the students.
A more convenient location could not
be found. while the well lighted, well
ventilated classrooms leave nothing to
be desired
The thoroughly efficient and at the
same time modest and unaSsuming man
ner in which tho principals of the Mil
ton School have organized and carried
out this important work deserves the
highest commentator. and 1T is crafty
ing to record the substantial and CON
tinued recognition and success which
have attended their efforts.

THREE KINDS OF CEMENT.
Portland, the Natural and Puzzolan
or Stag Cement.

From the Cement Age.
There are available for construction
purposes Portland, natural and puzzolan
or Stag cements. Only Portland cement
Is suitable for reinforced concrete.
Portland cement is the finely pulverized
product resulting from the calcination
to incipient fusion of an intimate mixture
of property proportioned argillaceous and
calcareous materials. 1t has a definite
chemical composition varying within
comparatively narrow limits.
Portland cement should be used in re-
inforced concrete construction and any
construction that will be subject to
shocks or vibrations or stresses other
than direct compression.
Natural cement Is the finely pulverized
product resulting from the calcination of
an argillaceouS limestone at a tempera-
ture only sufficient to drive of the car
bonic acid gas. While the limestone must
have certain composition this compost
ton may vary in much wider limits than
| In the case Of Portland cement. Natural
cement does not develop Its strength as
quickly, nor Is it uniform in compo-
Sition as Portland cement.
Natural cement may be used In massive
masonry where weight rather than
strength is the essential feature. Where
| economy Is the governing factor COM
parison may be made between the use OF
IfsAtuTd4 CouISHt anu AcaHSI iAAluie VI
| Portland cement that will develop the
same strength.
Puzzolan Stag cement is the finely
pulveriZed product resulting from grind
| ing a mechanical mixture of granulated
basic blast furnace Stag and hydrated
lime. Puzzolan cement is not nearly so
strong, uniform or reliable as Portland or
natural cement, is not extensively used
and never in important work: 1t should
be used only for foundation work UNDER
ground where it is not exposed to air or
running water.

coach. six being driven in good weather
and eight I'm muddy weather.
In its day the Sam Houston was the
scene of many fight and holdup. The
wood was marked in numerous places by
bulletholes. which were all that remained
in history of many of the fights in which
the coach was the center Of battle.
Guards were always carried along with
the coach In the early days to prevent In
dian attacks and holdups by bad men
who wanted to rob the mail.
Some time ago movement was started
to have the Sam Houston preserved as a
historic relic OF early Texas days. but the
move failed 10 bear fruit, and now IL is
too late.
The Sam Houston made its last run
from San Antonio to Austin In 1873 1t

way. for the railroad took its place, and
now IT had to be taken out Of the alley
because 1t was deemed unsighly and In

LAST OF THE STAGE COACHES.

An Earnest School for

From tho tHsfin Statesman.
After standing in the alley west of Pat
tersons livery stable since 1873, the stage
coach Sam Houston was torn TO pieces
yesterday and the timber cast In waste
heap. The Sam Houston was the victim
of city legislation. 1t having been ordered
moved from the alley, but being in such
dilapidated condition it could not be NOV
ed. The coach was torn to pieces and an
other relic Of the early Texas days has
passed into history.
If the old stage coach could talk 1t
could tell of some hair-raising events that
would probably make the blood and
thunder stories look like 30 cents Mex.
II made it's first run between Austin and
Rrenham I'm the year 1871, when Texas
was filled with Indians and bad men. Six

Locked Shah in House of Commons

Tile. predecessor of the deposed Shah
of Persia, who made Il state visit tn
England In 1878, had a curious experience
in the distinguished strangers gallery ~
the house of commons. He soon got
tired of watching our legislators at work,
but when he made move to go he
was told he could not leave the gal
lery. 1t happened at that moment that
a division was called, and in accordance
with the practice which then prevailed all
the doors of the house were locked until
the vote was taken. Mr.. Gladstone made
an interesting comment on the incident.
TT is,'' he wrote in his journal. prob
ably or possibly. the first time for more
than 500 years that foreign sovereign
has been under personal restraint of any
kind in England.

BRITISH IMMIGRANTS.
Settlement in England Of American
Millionaires Pleases Natives.

From the London Mail.
/ 1t is not a little consolation to the
patriotic Briton to observe the steady
| flow of immigration of the wealthy
classes of other nations into England and
Scotland. 1t is f1attering that those who
can afford to live exactly where they
choose should be coming to US in such
considerable numbers from the United
States and elsewhere. and tho movement
| is one likely to increase greatly. Twenty
years ago the idea of foreigners hunting
at Melton, shooting in Scotland house
boating on the Thames or indulging in
any other of the many delightful sports
we have to offer them was almost un-
| known.
| Today the number Of foreign million
| aires who have made England their home
| is much more considerable than might
generally be supposed We are inclined
10 think that the movement is good
one In every way from the British point
Of view. Many of our immigrants bring
with them handsome sons and daughters
who settle down among us and add that
mixture Of new blood which is essential
| to the vitality of all nations. Many OF
them restore ancient homes that might
otherwise fall into complete decay, MAIN
| tain large and costly establishments and
spend their fortunes freely with our
tradesmen. They help to pay our taxes
and generally to support our national
institutions, and we have no doubt that
when their compatriots learn how agree
ably they are welcomed the tide of mil
| lionaire immigration will set in steadily
toward the most delightful residential
country In the world.
The sadness OF the spectacle of the de-
parting Englishmen: which may be seen
almost any day in the week on the Liver
pool landing stage. is nowadays a little
m1tigated by the fact that q goodly
number are going to the kings dominion
| Of Canada, and Is somewhat compensated
| for by the fact that almost every day
the gorgeous regal and bridal suites
| OF staterooms OF the Atlantic floating pal
aces are bringing immigrants to Great
Britain who. once having tasted its pleas
ures. are apparently loath to return to
their native land.

TRAINING OF STENOGRAPHERS
GIVEN TO STU
DENTS AT MILTON SCHOOL.
Efforts of Pupils to Increase Their
Speed Guided by sympathetic
and Experienced Teachers.

The civil service examination for
stenograp piers. although not difficult, de-
mands a high degree OF accuracy, and
competent amanuenses, well trained in
ordinary business correspondence, fire.
quently have cause for regret II their
first experience with government matter
is gained in q civil service examination.
They may boast considerable speed and
enter the competition with full conf
dence in their ability to achieve a high
rating, only to go down to defeat before
the even and uninterrupted dictation OF
the examiner. The matter dictated. al
though sufficiently simple, strikes upon
the ears Of the average amanuensis with
an unfamiliar sound. and he may find
to his surprise that he must put forth
his utmost efforts to write the lower
rates Of speed. An instant's confusion
here and there over a puzzling or I'M
usual outline means the loss of a few
words or a costly mistake. If not failure.
This difficulty may be remedied by
course of standard stenography. in which
the student is not permitted to neglect
important principles that add to speed
and facility in writing. and that are too
often neglected in courses Of instruction
that have for their object simply the
preparation Of amanuenses. sufficiently
adent for ordinary business correspond
ence.
Aim of the Milton School.
To meet this need Of Washington ste
nographers the Milton School of Pitman-
Graham Stenography and Typewriting
was established. The principals brought
to their work a number Of years Of valu-
able experience in the preparation of Ste
nographers and typewriters for civil serv-
ice positions as well as for reporting and
ordinary commercial work. A. course of
special exercises. composed largely by the
principals of the Milton School. is used
to give ample practice in tho application
