since Napoleons time had been used
for the storing of military supplies,
has been thrown open to the public.
The donjon Is over 100 feet in height,
and from its summit an excellent
view of the surrounding country can
be obtained. The walls are 10 feet
thick and there is a winding stair
case of 327 steps. There are five
stories, and on clearing out the place
$4,000 muskets of the First Empire
were found on the first floor, while
above were 100000 sabres, together
with a quantity of saddles and brides
Of the same period.
All these things have now been re-
placed by contemporary relics illus
trating the history of the tower dur
ing 700 years. There is also data
showing the famous events in which
the structure played a part and the
equally famous prisoners confined be-
hind its massive walls.
AS far back as 1164, writes Capt
de Fossa, in pamphlet he has pre-
pared on the subject, Louis VII. con-
ceived the project of building a royal
residence at Vincennes, in the wood
Of which the earlier monarchs often
hunted. Philippe Auguste and his
successors improved and enlarged the
chateau, in which many of them
dwelt. 1t was later utilized as a state
prison, and in 1740 the porcelain fac
tory which was removed to Sevres ten
year later was established there.
Then the edif1ce became the quar-
tiers of a military school for a brief
period, and afterward a mandatory
of arms.
In 1883, at the time Of the French
Revolution, Vincennes was ranged
among the royal chateaux which were
to be sold, but did not find a pur.
chaser. Then came Napoleon, who
turned the historic castle into mill.
tary storehouse. Among the mon.
archs who have died there we're Louis
VII, Philippe ", and Charles ", and
also Henry " of England.

Ing with the traditional Mohammedan
scholastic system And for this rea-
son the new method" as II Is called,
has become among Russian Moham-
medans a watchword Of reform and Is
vigorously opposed by the adherents
Of the old school.
In its essence the new method"
means that children. instead of be-
ing taught to read by spelling out the
names OF the letters OF the Arabic al
phabet which Is used by all Moham-
medans, are taught at once to asso-
ciate letters with sounds and to form
them into syllables. M. Gasprinsky
has discovered by long experience In
/ Russia that by the new system an
| enormous amount Of time is saved.
The average child can by It's means
learn to read intelligently in 40 days,
whereas under the old system six
months OF year we're necessary, and
then the result was unsatisfactory.
The mullahs who have adopted the
new system in the Crimea have found
themselves compelled to fiji In the
time saved by giving instruction In
other subjects, such as geography and
hygiene, otherwise the period Of in.
struction would have been so short
that their slender income from the
village schools would have grown
more slender still.

adopted at the Normal School for

SOLACE IN HIS MISFORTUNE
Entombed Miner Had at Least One
Pleasant Thought After Two
Days Of Suffering.

Miners are among the most heroic
people in the world. Danger is always
beside them, and they are schooled to
believe that any time they will come
face to face with death. The result of
this is that they are humorous In
their holiness.
In one of the mines of Pennsylvania
there was a caVe-in which imprisoned
a miner named Jack Thornton. The
accident happened on Friday after
noon, and the fellow laborers of the
entombed man set to work at once to
dig him out. It was not until Sunday
morning, however, that they reached
his prison chamber, and by this time
they were wondering whether he had
been suffocated or starved to death.
One of them stuck his head through
the aperture made by the picks of
the rescuers and called out:
Jack, are you all right"
"All right" came the reply, and
then after q pause: What day IL
this"
Sunday" exclaimed the friend.
"Gee!" exclaimed Jack, I'm glad of
that. That was one Saturday night
when those saloonkeepers didn't get
my ages."-Popular Magazine.

Explorers steriansson and Anderson
Find Men With Red Boards in
VlctoJa Land.

Tidings of hitherto unknown race
haze been received in dispatches from
Stefansson and Anderson, who are
conducting an expedition in the far
north.
The strange race was rOcated in
Victoria Land, north of Cape Bexley.
One theory Of their origin is that
they may be descendants Of an an
cient Icelandic colony from Green
land. Of unusual interest is the fact
that the natives bear names that can
be translated into English, suggesting
that survivors OF the Franklin expedi-
ton may have lived among them.
They have some Scandinavian char
acteristics and are different from any
other American aborigines. Two Of
them wore boards OF a reddish color
and all had light eyebrows. Nothing
learned from them indicated that the
race as It exists today had ever seen
a white man.

to parley with them almost lost his
