Normal School for Teachers.

To aid in meeting these demands
normal school has been established
at Sivas and is preparing to give
thorough modern training to young
men who are fitting themselves Tor
the profession Of teacher. For all
such there is future full of promise.
The American board purchased a nne
site just outside the city. and is now
endeavoring to secure funds to COM

building to accommodate the number or
ambitious students knocking at us
doors. If this school were equipped to
train thousand young men and TO
send annually 200 graduates with the
most complete normal training that
could be given them in a course or nVe
years. it would not begin to meet the
demand that new Turkey is placing
upon it at the present time.

Most American travellers on their
first trips on the continent Of Europe
are astoundeG when upon the day of
their departure from a hotel they are
presented with their bill by the head
waiter instead Of by the landlord or
by his chief clerk. But it is the Gus
tom, and this important individual Is
thus assured of his tip. But they fret
and fume inwardly as they think of
all the other servants to be tipped
and usually end by giving each one
about three times what he expects.
There are two ways of avoiding this
worry If they only knew. In small ho-
tells and pensions where an average of
50 or 10 francs a day is paid for pen
sion IT is proper to allow franc
day for each person for service and
when going away divide it according
~ among those who have served you
In larger hotels a more 1 iSfact0ry
way is to take 10 per cent Of the hotei
bill. whatever 1t is. add it to the
amount of the bill and request the
head waiter to divide it among the
servants. Thus is the tipping ques
ton very much simplitied.-New YORK

 "Yes, indeed, and it is a most nat. ural name for the child" was the re- ply.
 "I suppose it's the outcome of a cheap joke on the fathers part" sigh ed the new neighbor. When the child is naughty he is likely to suggest a spanking Breeze"
 "Not at all, though I'll mention that to him." said the other. You see, the family name is Storm. Before she was married the mothers name was Wind-Augusta Wind. Upon marriage her name became Storm, of course, making it Wind-Storm. Now, when the little girl was born they were pug zled about selecting name. They could not agree until some one said a little Wind-Storm might be called a Breeze. The little one is just like her mother. and little Gusta Wind fs'-

This clipped glass. for the pattern is often really clipped out of the surface, in- wolves @ process that is interesting. The sheet of glass to be treated is placed under a sand blast in order to give 1t grain. This ground surface is next treated with solution of good glue, and the glass is placed in dry ing room on sack, where it remains for some hours. Next the sheets of glass are removed to the chipping room. where they are placed on edge back to back. with the coated surfaces outward. This room is heated by steam coils, and when the heat is turn ed on the glue reaches it's utmost de- gree of 'desiccation and curls off the glass in pieces from the size of dime to that of silver dollar, but it ad- heres so closely to the glass that in its effort, to get free it tears a piece off the surface. the result being c beautiful pattern.-Harper's Weekly.

President James H. O'Rourke of the Connecticut league arrived home last evening at 6 o'clock from San Antonio, Texas, where he went to at- tend the convention of minor base ball leagues. He declared the trip was wonderful eve had a delight full time," said President O'Rourke when seen at his office this morning. ''The people of San Antonio certainly gave us a fine reception. They did everything possible for our comfort and the time passed very pleasantly.
 ''It was the longest and most en- thusiastic baseball convention that has ever been held. Everything was harmony and good will. There was not ripple of dissension. The most important action taken was the new classification given to the Eastern and Pacific Coast league and Ameri- can association. Owing to the large number of people in their circuits, these leagues have been advanced to Class A. A., which is the highest minor league classification. The Western and Southern leagues will remain in Class A.
 'I was the only official representa- tive of the Connecticut league but Zeller of Springfield were present try ing to make trades. They live in St. Louis so it was easy for them to make the trip.
 While in San Antonio I heard that Pitcher Case had been sold by Spring field to Dayton of the Central league and that Pitcher Christopher had been traded to the same club"
 President ORourke was accom- panied on the trip by four daughters, the Misses Agnes, Lillian, Irene and Edith, and they had an enjoyable time.

Steffens Said to
 Have Brought About
 Pleas of Guilty

Los Angeles, Dec. 2.-Clarence g. Darrow said, today, that Lincoln Stef- fens. the magazine writer, played q large part in the dramatic conclusion of the McNamara case.
 Acting upon the theory of the Golden Rule as applied by. Brand whitIock, Mayor of Toledo, said Darrow, "Steffens brought about an agreement between Los Angeles cap ftalists and representatives of labor men which had the ultimate effect Of causing the McNamaras to plead guilty and thus took the first i'm portant move toward a concil1ation between the warning labor and capi- talistic factions in Los Angeles"
 Los Angeles, Dec. "A positive de- riaI that Lincoln J. Steffens was fac tor in the arrangements for the Me Namara confessions was made by Dis- trict Attorney Fredericks after a morning filled with rumors regarding the "inside history of the case.
 The first intimation of possible plea of guilty, he said, was made to him last night. It was indicated to him at that time, he asserted, that J. R McNamara would plead guilty if he would permit John McNamara to go scot free F'redericks said he posi- lively refused to entertain this, telling the defense that he would convict both men.
 Finally he declared Attorneys Dar- row and Davis were forced to come to his terms when they realized the full strength of the States case.

Trainina an Elephant.

Tn training the elephant to perform tricks advantage is taken of the fact that the feet of the animal are pecul- iarly sensitive and he dreads any in jury to them. Many of his tricks are based upon this principle. Thus he is made to place one foot upon a low pedestal; then the other foot is tapped gently, and he raises this and places it beside the other-to get it out of harms way. The hind. feet are treated similarly in turn. the front feet being hit every time they are placed on the ground. In this way all four feet are finally placed upon the tub. The trick of inducing an ele- phant to- partake of meal is very simple. Animals will naturally eat anything placed before them, and it is only necessary to open a bottle Of
