HONOR CLAIMED FOR BOSTON
Fret Public School in United States
10 Said to Have Been in
That City.

It is probable that the beginning Of
the American public school was in
Massa chusetts. In 1885 the people Of
Boston assembled in town meeting, re-
quested Philemon Purmont to become
schOolmaster and voted him 30 acres
Of land in part pay for his services.
The school begun by Purmont later
became the Boston Latin school and
has had continuous existence to the
present time. Other settlements fol-
lowed BOston's example and within
the next ten years common schools
were established in all the New Eng
land settlements. In 1647 the gen.
eral court Of Massachusetts ordered
every town having so families to ap-
point a teacher, whose wages were to
be paid by the parents Of the children
he taught or by the inhabitants In
general. At the same time townships
having 100 families were required to
establish grammar school to At
youth for college. The law establish
ing these two grades Of schools laid
the foundation of the public school
system in the United States. Three
years later similar law was passed
In Connecticut, but Rhode Island
made no attempt to form a school
system until 1870.

BUILT The FIRST sKYsCRAPER
Housed the Tribune Was the
Wonder Of lts Day.

The Skyscraper was undreamed Of
until Whitelaw Reid laid the corner
stone Of the Tribune building In 1874.
The Florentine campanile that he then
! lifted into the air gave his contempt
raries what was, for them, greater
sensation than their descendants have
received from Manhattan's tallest tow
ers. Voyagers coming up the bay
hailed it with establishment, little i'm
agining the formidable structures It
foresbadowed. 7s@.
The skyline it broke was that OF an
essentially fiat. low-lying city. In
Reds eyes New York was not then
precisely beautiful. So we may judge
from the instructions he sent to Clar-
ence Cook in 1870, with a request for
a series Of architectural articles. "What
I want" he wrote, "is first crisp edi-
toriaI on the prevailing lack Of archi-
tectural taste in New York, the dreary
miles Of browstone fronts, the worth
lessness Of brownstone as material
for building. the mostrosities given us
by our wealthiest men," .. ..
Then article after article was to be
written, discussing the question of ar
chitecture in our cities generally, but
particularly in New York. The "fright-
full example" was to be fearlessly pill
loried, and suggestions were to be
made.-From 1.-THE Life of Whitelaw
Reid" by Royal Cortissoz.

Only Outdoor Inauguration.


The United States, although its cap
ltal is in more rigorous climate than
those Of many republics, is alone in
having an "al fresco" Inauguration.
The first four Presidents were iEau-
gurated indoors, and beginning with
the third President, Jefferson, the in
augurations took place In Washing
ton. Monroe, the first President to
be sworn in out Of doors, chose the
east portico Of the capitol because Of
a dispute as to whether he should
be inagurated in the house Of repre-
sentatives or the senate chamber. A.
ter return to the indoor Inaugural
ton by Jackson, the outdoor cere-
monies were resumed. Because they
seemed to fit in 50 we'll with American
ideas Of democracy, permitting the
general public to see the procedure,
they have been NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

SHOOT WATER HIGH IN AIR
Iceland Geysers Beautiful, but Un-
safe Places in Which to Lin9er
for Long Periods.

The hOt-water fountains OF Iceland
are on mounds averaging seven feet IN
height, the top of each Of which forms
the edge Of sort Of basin. From
these basins the steam Of boiling wa
ter can be seen rising and the over
flow Of water is continuous. The con-
tents of these basins is as clear as
crystal and one can see to great
depth, while just below the surface
are many wonderfully beautiful white
incrustations to obtain samples Of
which many a visitor to Iceland has
burned his fingers. The petritications
caused by the boiling water streams
from the geysers include birch and
willow leav,s, grass and rushes SEEM
ingly converted into marble.
At no time is 1t entirely safe to loi-
ter in the vicinity of one of these bot
tomless basins, for the geyser has a
way Of spouting and gives no advance
warming Sometimes there will be
shoot of boiling water to height Of
is feet, followed by succession of
jets. The highest shoot Of which there
is any record was 80 feet.
Occasionally a basin will for some
unexplained reason become empty or
will give forth "steam shoot" which,
in the form of column Of spray and
vapor at least 60 feet in height, pre-
sents really magnificent spectacle.

To Prevent Steel RustinQ.

Steel which has become rusty can
be cleaned by brushing it with paste
composed as follows: Half an ounce
of cyanide Of potassium, half an ounce
of CASTLE soap, an ounce Of whiting
and water sufficient to form the paste
The steel should be washed after the
paste has been applied, in a solution
of half an ounce Of cyanide of potas-
stun in two ounces Of water. On the
other hand rust may be prevented on
steel parts by applying the following
mixture with brush, just as If 1t
were varnish: One part caoutchouc,
16 parts turpentine. These ingredi-
ents must be- dissolved in gentle
heat and then eight parts of boiled
oil should be added. The whole Is
now mixed by bringing them to boil
Ing heat. This material may be re-
moved by the use Of turpentine.

very large, or in any other small as

cites may be inlsarmonious1y mixed

contrast, and unless we have space
enough to secure these, it Is better to
be content with unity and simplicity,
which are always to be had.-Leigh

Length Of Hair Marked Caste

Length OF Hair Marked Caste.
For long time the length Of hair
was considered mark Of caste in
France. Only members Of the royal
family and princes Of the blood could
wear their hair long. Polled hair was
sign of obedience and inferiority.
TO cut the hair of prince was to de-
prive him Of his right Of succession
to the throne.
Notwithstanding these facts,
Charlemagne liked to wear his hair
short. The name Of his son, Charles
the Bald, indicates the style Of colt
fure he affected. The Emperor The
ophilus was also afflicted with bare
crown and he, to shun the notoriety
Of it, strongly urged his subjects to
cut the hair on their heads, advanc-
ing numerous reasons, sanitary and
otherwise for its accomplishment.

French folk songs have small COM
