American friends
might find her impressions interest,"
Ing, so she sits down to write a letter.
That little girl of five years ago is
Jacqueline Chevallaz, now a 15-year-
old student of Western High School.
Her family returned to the United
States in 1896 and came to live here
at ll2l New Hampshire avenue NV.
But her memories Of Switzerland are
still vivid and the letter below, even
to the date, is just as she would have
written it upon her arrival In that
country.
Tuesday, September, 1892.
"Dear Editor:
Here are some of my impressions
OF Swiss schools. I am living in Vevey,
which Is on Lake Geneva NY new
friend. Marise Dormond, came with
me the first day of school. Think
Of it! I had to get up at Z o'clock,
as school starts at 8.
The building is quite old and there
Is only one staircase. You can i'm
aglne the din at noon.
I'VE are only 25 in the class. There
Is one little blackboard on a stand.
Big maps hang on the walls The
teachers desk is feet higher than
the pupils and the steps up to the
platform creak frightfully.
There are only six rooms in this
building. There is no need for more
as the boys have their own building.
Another reason is that tuition must
be paid by the students and all the
books must be bought by them.
L was surprised to learn that I
could not take the subjects I wanted
Here is my program: French, German,
zoology, history, sewing, arithmetic,
pen-Writlng, geography, art, singing
religious instruction and gym. You
see, with all those subjects, the big
program I have. However, every day
Is different. On some days you have
some of the subjects and the others
another day. The only branch we
have once or twice a day is French.
We girls have women and men
tea chers both, but the boys have only
men teachers.
Art lessons are given in nearby
museum and is a required subject.
We draw from plaster casts.
Periods last SIS minutes, with s.
minute recesses after each. The
second recess is little longer than
the others and a baker comes in
with a big basket of pastry which
may be bought. Luke-warm milk also
Is sold
AT noon We go home for lunch as
there is no cafeteria. We must go to
school on Saturday mornings also, but
we have wednesday afternoon Off

me that in summer we go to school
from to II o'clock in the morning
and from 2 until in the afternoon
Thus we have three hours at noon

morning for the first time. He is a
little old man with big mustaches

He was dressed all in white and car

Bond Street of London
Named After Speculator

During the Seventeenth, the Eight
eenth and the first half of tn e
Nineteenth centuries the Bond street
of New York and the Bond street of
London had a similar aspect-both
were lined with the residences of
the well-to-do. Here those of bank
ers and merchants, there the homes
of the landed nobility. Later in both
streets merchandising prevailed.
The origin of the New York name
is obvious; that of the London street
came from Sir Thomas Bond,
a Seventeenth century courtier at
tached to Queen Henrietta Maria,
who was always persona grata at
the Court of Whitehall in the reign
of Charles II, to whom she is said
to have advanced large sums of
money.
According to Arthur Dasent, writ
ing in the Daily Telegraph of Lon
don, toward the end of Charles
reign Sir Thomas began to specu-
late in London real estate, particu-
larly in the West End, in the Parish
of st. Martin-in-the Field. His first
transaction as recorded in the local
Rate Book was when he acquired
in 1858 Claredon House in Pic>e dlIy

ond Duke of Albermarle, pulled it

and Bond streets through the prop.

Sea Liens Use Sense of
Smell by Touching Noses

Sea lions, like dogs, use their
sense of smell by touching noses
to identify one another at close
range, but fail to react to distant
odors. They are adept at spotting
moving objects from considerable
distance. Except when off on fish
ing excursions, they are gregarious
by nature, collecting in large groups
on favorite rocks or rookeries and
generally making a big fuss and
noise over nothing. About the only
time they ever become hostile is
when their pet place in the sunshine
is challenged.
The cows have only one pup
year. If anything happens to the
mother the pup will die, because
no other mother would adopt it.
They are not like dogs or cats or
other animals in this respect, says
writer in the Los Angeles Times.
A peculiar habit of the COWS ap-
preaching pupping time is to form
'rafts" by lying belly-side up in
the water with their fipper pro-
truding above the surface. From a
distance a string of eight or ten
cows floating end to end this way
resembles the charred remains of
boat that has burned to the waters
edge, with only stubs of the ribs
left showing. This is probably a
means of absorbing beneficial rays
from the sun

was seriously i'll.
The royal family has decided to
give the duke 100000 (about $500 ,O0O)
as a marriage settlement, it was re-
ported last night. The interest on
this amount together with money from
other sources, is expected to bring
Edwards annual income to about
$4,000 t$l40,0OO. In the event that
the duke dies before the duchess the
income from the'royal family's settle
ment would maintain the widow dur
ing her lifetime and relieve the royal
family from anxiety or embarrassment.
Most of the dukes annual income
is derived from property left to him
by Queen Victoria and from inherited
rights in Sandringham, Balmoral, Fort
Belvedere and other estates which he
has disposed Of to the royal family

from good families and all of them

ing the favorable recommendation of
the institutional officials, the board
feels that it is in the public interest to
release them under parole.
This action should not be con-

situation, but does not look upon
these men as confirmed or habitual
gamblers, but as first offenders who
