These schools have done great educa-
tional work. Their graduates and former
students are found everywhere through
out Bulgaria, Macedonia and other parts
of Turkey. and their influence has been
wide and wholesome for better things.
Many of the leading men in Bulgaria and
Ma cedonia We're educated at these schools.
They have sent large numbers of stu
dents to Robert College and to the United
States for a higher education. Their
principal object is to educate natives to
become teachers and preachers among
their own people, so that their influence
is extended Indefinitely through the gen.
erations. The mothers of several of the
most influential men in this part of the
country were educated at the American
schools at Samarkov and Monastir. You
can find pupils of DR.. House in every
town and almost every village, where his
personal influence is thus indirectly ap-
piled to the progress and the improve

Doing Educational Work.

Dr. House celebrated the jubilee of
American educational work in Macedonia
by establishing the Saloniki Institute. He
purchased fifty acres of land. which he
has since increased to seventy-five acres,
and is now trying to raise funds to buy
twenty-five acres more, adjoining his pres
ent holdings, which he thinks will be
sufficient for the agricultural training of
as many young men as can be taken care
of here. He has built a comfortable
house. which will accommodate about
fifty boys. but they have crowded in until
he now has under his care about sixty
husky young fellows from different parts
of Macedonia. who pay $50 a year in the
way of tuition, which represents about
one-half of the actual cost of feeding
them.
The school now represents an invest
ment of $SCo0. but DR.. House needs at
least $4,000 to provide plant sufficient
to meet the demands upon it. There is
no prospect of getting local help. although
hundreds Of students would willingly pay
the tuition fees if they could be accom-
modated They come from the village
farmer class. and the object OF the insti-
tuition is to teach them modern methods
of agriculture. the simple mechanic arts
and sufficient book learning to make them
useful citizens. The plan of management

How rhaekeray Worked.

If ecarte is to be held responsible for Thackeray's appearance as an au- thor, his cratic methods of work contributed equally to his early death. He wrote invariably with the printers devil in attendance.
 'I can conceive nothing more harassing in the literary way" wrote Motley to his wife in 1858, than Thackeray's way of living from hand to mouth. I mean in regard to the way he furnishes food to the printers devil. Here he is just finishing the number that must appear in a few days. Of course. whether i'll or well. stupid or fertile, he must produce the same amount of fun. pathos or senti- ment. His gun must be regularly loaded and discharged at command should think it would wear his life out"
 Motley's fears were realized with In few years.

Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman empire, or German Roman empire, began with Charles the Great, king of the Franks. who was crowned emperor of the west in 500. He proclaimed himself the representa-. tive of the ancient Roman emperors and asserted theoretical authority over the nations of west and central Flu rope This empire was called holy be. cause of the interdependence of the empire and the church. In general it comprised the German-speaking na- tions of central Europe and had for a long time a close relationship with Italy.
 According to one authority the Holy Roman empire was in reality the Ger man-Italian empire established by Otto l., the Saxon king who was crowned in Rome by Pope John XII, on February ?, 962.
 At best this empire of history was deal rather than real. It never actu- ally existed in the form of a genuine central government, fully recognized by those within it's boundaries.

WEARING ROSES DANGEROUS
Blossoms to corsage-Beasts Mistake Them for Meat.

A lion tanner came from her hot tent and sat down for a chat
 "An admirer, in my younger days" " she said, "once sent me bouquet of red roses, and wore them in the ring to do my act. They came near doing for me. I had got my eight lions ar ranged in their pyramid when the lion at the top saw the red roses in my corsage. He mistook them for meat lions have poor sight-and down he Ieapt. He came for me open-mouthed. Though I fired a blank cartridge in his face, he made with his paw a sweep at the roses that ripped me open from chin to waist. The other lions bounded forward. They weren't angry. They were hungry. I had Intelligence enough to perceive that, and just as they were leaping on me tore of my roses and threw them across the ring.
 'The big brutes left me at once, and while they sniffed the roses with dis appointed growls I staggered out of the iron door. l was young at the time, young and light-headed, or I'd have known better than to wear any thing red amongst hungry and near sighted lions"

RATS CAUSE OF GHOST SCARE Rodents Pull Electric Wire, Causing the Light to Rise and Fall and
 Frightening Men.

There are probably few persons who would confess to a belief in ghosts, spirits, specters, or spooks, as told in stories. But when some mysteri- ous circumstance occurs at night time they are among the first to think of ghosts as an explanation of the phe- nomenon.
 This, perhaps, was the case with Fl mer Sampson and Art Anderson, who were startled and mystified as they were sitting in the office of a livery barn one evening recently when the electric light hanging from the ceiling began to rise and fall.
 It is said that MT. Anderson, who thought ghost was in the attic, sug- gested that they give chase to it with a pail of water. It was finally decided that MT. Anderson should get lan- tern, while MT. Sampson got ladder, that they might investigate the attic for the cause of the disturbance.
 The young men felt relieved at find ing that two huge rats had been tug ging away at an old umbrella, the handle of which had become hooked behind the electric light wire Every time the rats pulled on the umbrella the lamp would rise.

Character From ciaars.

Character from handwriting ano oalmistry we are acquainted with, but Paris contemporary announces that dispositions can be gauged from cig- ars. The man who smokes, we learn. Is easily recognized. His lips show It, without his speaking. He who fixes his cigar deeply in the mouth is of a nature resolute, skeptical and abrupt; one who bites off the end of his cigar is careless, thoughtless or listless. When the cutter is used to nip off the end, the smoker may be considered as a man of caution. The user of the amber holder may be con- sidered a delicate person. The man who smokes his cigar to the end Is a faithful friend, a constant husband and of persevering nature. If one is In the habit of throwing away the cigar when only half smoked he may be considered fickle, blase and a trifier Furthermore, characteristics can be deduced from the habit of al- lowing the cigar to die out. Such g person suffers from want of memory. He may have aptitude for mathemat- les, but he is not selfish.

EXPLORING BARKING ABBEY
Workmen Excavatine for New Street Find Subterranean Passage Lead
 Ing From Old Edifice.

In the course of excavations for . new street at Barking a subterranear passage was discovered which had evidently led from the old abbey.
 A workman, while digging at g depth of ten feet, drove his pick into some soft stonework, and after the subsequent collapse of earth the pas sage was revealed. It was found that the pick had been driven through the arched ceiling of stone-built passage some eight feet six inches high and about six feet wide. Exploring par ties have investigated the interior by the aid of candle light. The walls were found to be damp and clammy and the floor was covered with thick carpet of spongy substance, into which the feet sank slightly. For a distance of nearly 20 yards the pas. sage is clear, and at either end of this stretch 1t is blocked, in one case by a fall of earth and in the other case presumably, by the character of the structure itself Two smaller pas sages turn off the first passage, and in one of the side turnings there were IOunQ QalI QOZen HuIudH SKULLS anu a quantity of bones. Among the lat ter is a number of jaw bones of horses or other large animals. All the bones and skulls are charred, and the walls of the passage also show traces of fire.
 The Abbey of Barking is reported to have been built in A. D. 679 by Erkenwald. who afterwards became Bishop of London, and whose sister Ethelberga became first abbess al Barking. It was the first nunnery es- tablished in this country. In A b. S70 the Danes destroyed it by fire. and it lay desolate for a century until re stored by King Edgar. Many mem bers of royal families were among its abbesses From the fact that the main passage runs in the direction of Barking creek, short distance away, it is believed to have afforded chan nel of communication from the abbey to the waterway and thence to the Thames.-London Standard.

impression; the other is expert knowl- edge, says writer in Human Life
 Steinmetz? Never heard of himi Exactly; no one has ever heard of him, outside of his profession. He's that sort. He's a mysterious little man, a Lilliputian in body, a giant in mind. He can walk under a four-foot bar, is as shy as a debutante, modest as they make lem, and works so quiet ly by himself that you'd never know he was around Yet this diminutive German, who was walking up Broad way, penniless immigrant, 20 years ago, is now top man in his line, and the 1S,000 men of the General Electric company get their electrical lore from him. He is paid S75,000 as a yearly salary. The hundred and more i'm portant inventions he has made all stand in the name of his company. He has hidden his remarkable and little known genius behind the company by which he is employed. That is why the world has never heard of him.
 Steinmetz owes his presence in this country to too much socialistic activi- ty abroad some couple of decades ago. While a young student at the Univer- sity of Breslau he edited a Socialistic paper so successfully that the govern ment got after him. He made good his escape to Switzerland, however, To- eating at Zurich and going through the experience of living on S7.50 a month. This was the royalty payment he received for having published a textbook on astronomy. His room mate, a year later, was ordered to America by the German police authori- ties, and Steinmetz took the fates by the forelock and went along, too.
 A long and discouraging search for work finally landed him as a drafts man in the Eichemeyer shops at YoE- kers. In two years he had kicked his drafting board into cobweb corner, and was climbing up on the payroll of the concern as a member of the ex- perimental staff. Five years later the General Electric company had ab- sorbed the Eichemeyer outfit, and Mir Steinmetz had become their chief ex- pert.

LIGHTNING STEALS A WATCH
Bolt From the Sky Plays Some Ex- eeedingIy Queer Franks on a
 Massachusetts Man.

Brockton, Mass.-During thunder storm a bolt of lightning entered a bedroom on the second floor of a house in which Edward Bolles was sitting. The lightning ripped up the ped clothing, burned the mattress and knocked the footboard through win dow.
 A gold watch chain which was at tached to vest he was wearing was melted and his watch spirited away and has not been found, though thorough search of the house and grounds has been made. A part of the roof of the house was lifted from it's fastenings and tipped on edge Bed clothing and curtains in every room of the house were set afire.
 Bolles was not even stunned by the lightning, though it played all around him.
