DE M0NTLUc A TRUE GASC0k
Character of Romantic Soldier Illus trsted by sn Incident During the
 Siege of Sienna.

Blaise de Montluc was a soldier and me hal of France who fought through half the sixteenth century. Like a true Gascon, as he was, he added to his great physical qualities courage, high spirits and an unuuench. able gaiety, which distinguished him above soldiers of a graver mold. He was the veritable captain of his soul.
 In the Italian wars Blaise de Mont. luo commanded the defense of Sienna during the prolonged siege. When the town was reduced to a few ounces of bread daily. Blaise was overcome with sickness, and had himself carried about in chair muffled up in furs.
 But perceiving that the inhabitants especially the women, were thus ren. dered apprehensiye of their fate should he die, runs the excerpt from De Montluc's Commentaries" me call. ed for a pair of crimson velvet brooches, laid over with gold lace, very finely cut. for they were made at a time when he was forsooth in love. He put on doublet of the same, and a shirt of crimson silk and gold twist; then a buff collar over which he put his arms, very finely gilt"
 He was at that time wearing gray and white fin honor of fair lady to whom he was a servant when he had leisure" So he put on a hat of gray silk, with gray silver hatband, and a plume of herons feathers set with silver spangles.
 He also put on a short cassoek of gray velvet garnished with little plates of silver at two fingers distance from one another, and lined wi1h cloth of silver, all open between the plates"
 Then he rubbed his face with Greek wine till he brought Q little color into his cheeks, and drank small draught with little bit of bread.
 He then looked at himself in the glass, strutted before his officers. though he had not the strngth to kill a chicken. and rode through the town to the great comfort of all beAolders." Youths Companion.

DRESS BEFORE THE DEPART
MENT OF sUPERINTENDENcE
OF EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 27.-"The most
insane educational idea that has
spread from the college down to the
first grade is the idea that teacher
with forty children can ask the ques-
tions, call on child to recite, grade l.,
4 or 70. keep this up for FIVE or ten
months, then present an array Of
questions to be answered and graded
in a like manner, and as final addi-
tion to these results determine the
childs knowledge and fitness for pro-
motion"
So said d. e. Phillips, president of
the Denver board of education, this
morning in addressing the department
of superintendent of the National
Educational association on The Child
VS.. Promotion Machinery.
Continuing Phillips berated the
principals and teachers who say,
Such thing is a necessary evil"
Finally, / must maintain the child

grade and in subjects he can get the
most out of, without regard to what
he knows about the studies behind
him, and without regard to how much
more or less he knows than the other

The AWFUL
FIRE Waste
F. w. Fitzpatrick Tells Of It
In Vivid Way

Madison, Wis, Feb. 27.--"Our losses
by fire are an average of three thea
tres, three public halls, twelve
churches, ten schoolhouses, two hos
pitals, two asylums two coneges, six
apartment houses, twenIy-six hotels,
three department stores, two jails,
lao fiat houses, and 1000 dwellings,
every week Of the year"
This vivid summary of the fire waste
in the United States comes from f. w.
Fitzpatrick of Washington. ID. c., sec
retary of the National Builders & In
spectors association in Fire Alarm,
published today. More startling still
is his statement that there are barely
ten buildings in the United States
fully and completely fireproof.
During normal years. he says, 1--WE
expend nearly $300,000,00O in fire de-
partments. water and such protection.
we pay insurance companies $780,

brief our fire losses cost US $780,

the people have become Injured to their
danger in infiammable buildings" he
continues, '.and display a grievance
against those who try to make them
trifie less prodigal with lives and
limbs.
"As 1t is 1,40O people were burned
or killed in fires last year. $500 SER
iously injured, while day after day &c.
900 people narrowly escape from fire.
In conclusion the writer says: IN
the larger cities our chances are just
about one in 500 that we will be

never knows when his turn is to be.
