 Some of the classes are working already. Lessons were assigned yesterday by the teachers and ac- tual c.ass room work begun this morning. Other classes will be- gin work in the middle of the week The reason for the delay is on ac- count of book provision.
 The enrolment for yesterdays at tendance neared the 75 mark. A slight increase w2s noted today and Miss Benthien expects to see a slight increase extending over a fortnight period.

OUR PLACE IN THE SUN.
Human Beings, Like Plants, Need Much
 of the Outdoor Life.

Human Beings, Like Plants, Need Much
 of the Outdoor Life.
 A home without windows was built for the blind in a certain English com munity. Scientific heating and yentila ton were provided. But architects and trustees reasoned that light was not necessary in a house of sightless people.
 Then they discovered that human be lngs, like plants, dwindle and die when deprived of the light of the sun. And they had to remodel their building and let in the suns rays to keep the blind alive.
 Since the invention of the electric light we have all treated sunlight with amazing indifference. In summer es pecially we spend much time, thought, energy and money protecting ourselves from the sun.
 And in so doing we often are acting not much more wisely than the com mittee that built house without light for the blind. In summer. for instance we try to escape the sun when we actul ally need its services in the cause or good health.
 So take your work and play out or doors when possible. Don't fear sun stroke. Don't. be afraid of sweat and tan.-Toledo News-Bee.

THE PITCHERS BOX.
In 5asebalPO Early Days It Was Just
 Line Twelve Feet Long.

Liuo i"elNS FoSh IofS'
 Up to 1857. or for eighteen years after the first game of baseball was played, there was no limit to the num- Der of innings, the first side scoring twenty-one runs. or aces" as they were then called, being the winner. In 1857, however, the game was divided Into nine Innings. The pitcher had a line twelve feet long, kept behind It and could take short run before his delivery, just the same as is permitted in cricket today.
 In 1863 the old "line" for the pitcher to stand behind was done away with and the twirler limited to box" twelve feet long and four feet wide. but in this area he could roam at will and throw from whatever spot he pleased A few years later the box" was made six feet square. and in 1876 1t was again reduced to four feet wide and six feet long. Ten years later It was made a foot longer and foot wider and in 1887 cut down In length to five and One-haH feet.
 These boxes" being always source of much change and discussion, they were finally abolished altogether and rubber slab l2 by inches took their place, the pitcher being required to keep his hack foot against the slab This slab was enlarged to two feet by six inches in 1895 and has remained the same since.-Phuadelph Bulletin

THE "HUMAN MIRACLE"

Laughter a Blessing No Bird, seaSt'
 Fish or Reptile Possesses.
 In the London Opinion the sage James Douglas. specuIating on that measurable emotion which is accompa nied by face cracking movements of the muscles of the physiognomy and brightness of the eyes and iS known as laughter. describes the phenomenon as "the human miracle" and says:
 "No bird or beast or fish or reptile can laugh. You can teach an ape to do almost anything, but you cannot teach him to laugh. The awful sol emnity of animals is the one really in tolerabIe thing on this earth They are cut of from the abiding miracle of hu mor.
 "A wise man has warned us to In terrogate ourselves when We laugh. ] totally and entirely reTdiate that d. abolical doctrine Never interrogate yourself when you laugh. You should never look a laugh in the mouth.
 'There are many kinds of laughter. but they are all good, Interrogate yourself if you like when you weep But if you value the well being of your soul never iuterrogute yourself when you laugh. Laughter is a good thing in itself and an end by itself The quality of laughter, like the quail, ty of mercy. ought never to be strain, ed. Laugh before you look. New York Times.
