How many times do we hear the
(uestion asked shall a man tell his wife
ibout his business affairs, and there are
;hose who think that he should not.
Did these people ever stop to think
what an estimate they are putting on
She woman in question by advocating
the concealment course. You may be
Hire that the average woman is bright
enough to find out by intuition when
ihiugs are not going right with the man
;he loves, and if she thinks he is pur
posely concealing things from her, can
my oiie wonder if she feels humiliated.
A writer in the New York Ledger talks
;his way about it:
A correspondent, who says he is get
ting into serious pecuniary ditliculties,
wants to know whether it would be best
to tell his wife about it at once, or hide
his trouble from her until he weathers
the storm or finally goes under, as the
case may be. ♦
Tell your wife, of course, and tell her
at once. The effort which a man makes
to keep his troubles from his wife
under such circumstances is a heavy
addition to his burdens. Any wife
worthy of the name would be drawn
closer to her husband by the confiding
of his troubles to her. And what
a source of strength her sympathy
would be to him! And not only her
sympathy, but her advitc— her mental
and moral help. For a wife's Intellect,
when aroused by sympathy for her
husband whose fortunes ore imperiled,
is intuitional and prophetic. She sees
straight into the very heart of compli
cations which her husband's harrassed
mind cannot penetrate. His own mind
is warmed and quickened and strength
ened by communion with hers. Whin
& husband confides in and counsels with
his wife in his nays of trouble, she is
then in very truth what God made her
to be— "a helpmeet for him!"
DISTRICT CONVENTION.
XV. C. T. U.s Meet and Discuss
Matter.-; Pertaining to the Order.
The district convention of the \V. C.
T. l>. met in the room of tlie Central
union in the music hall yesterday at
8:30 o'clock, Mrs. Webster, district
president, in tlie chair. The meeting
was opened in tlie usual way with read
ing of Scripture by the president and
prayer by Mrs. Lulcy, of the Central
union. Minutes of previous meeting
were given by th« secretary, Mrs.
Reed, of the Willard union, and fring
ing of hymn by the delegates.
Mrs. Reed reported that the monthly
convention or unions haa been omitted
tl;e last two month's on account of the
Mills meetings and the storm. The last
meeting was held in the Y. M. C. A.
rooms In the New York Life building.
She spoke of tlie delegates from the dif
fereni unions wiio had been with them
at that time, and of a report of the suc
cessful .Sunday school work made
by Mrs. Irvine. This was the dis
tribution of pledge cards among the
young people. The women had been
notified that it was not convenient to
allow them to use the Y r . M. C. A. room
again, and the Central union had in
vited them to meet at their room here
after. As they had always accepted the
hospitality of the Central tliey now pro
pose and do pay their share of the rent
for this room. The minutes were ap
proved. On a call for reports from del
egates,
Mrs. Grote reported from the Lady
Somerset union, which had been doing
a good work distributing tracts, a good
deal of temperance literature had been
given out during the Mills meetings.
The lunches served at the Auditorium
were, not a success financially. Mrs.
Bowsfield, of the Willard union, re
ported that the union wr.s busy at work.
The Gospel temperance meetings that
this union had Been very successful in
keeping up had been discontinued for
the Mills meltings, but would be re
sumed. The president spoke on the
Como and Hauiline unions. These bands
of earnest women had felt justified in
resting on their oars and allowing the
Mills meetings to take up their lime,
but. they were again at work.
The Central union was represented
by Mrs. M. J. Russell, wiio spoke of the
result of the efforts of this union in
stopping the hack race that was planned
tome time ago.
Their Loyal Temperance legion was
in a very prosperous condition. This
society has raised about £30. Theyiilso
claim the credit of the work that se
cured the appointment of a matron at
the central police station. There had
bei'ii many objections raised, but their
matron, Mrs. Walker, was there, and
would ito most excellent work.
Mrs. Grote, president of Lady Somer
set union, called the attention of the
convention to a letter she had received
from Mrs. Hubert, the state president,
in regard to tlie meeting of the state
convention in St. Paul. Airs. Hobert
had suggested that the time from the
12th to the 15th, inclusive, of Septem
ber, would be convenient for the larg
est number of those interested, and
asked Hint the convention take some
action definitely in the matter and let
her kuo>* at which church the meeting
would be held. On a motion a commit
tee was appointed to secure the
use of a church. Mrs. Bowsfield,
of the Millard union, Mrs. Luley
and Mrs.Leonard, of Central union. were
appointed a committee to attend to
this matter and report to the state pres
ident, Mrs. Hobert. On a motion the
election of officers was postponed to
next meeting, which will take place on
the Kith ot June next.
On motion Miss Clara Hoi brook was
appointed chairman on committee on
entertaining the delegates, with Mrs.
Grat as assistant. The secretary was
instructed to notify the various uuions
of the convention, and ask them to ap
point committees to confer with them.
Adjourned till June 10.

Bishop-Ferguson.
A very pretty home wedding occurred
at 140 West Winifred street yesterday
afternoon when Miss Jeanie Ferguson,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Fergu
son," was married to Robert Bishop, of
Glasgow, Scotland. Miss Maggie Night
engale was bridesmaid, and Charier
King best man. The marriage was cel
ebrated by Rev. C. G. Reynolds, of
Goodrich Avenue Presbyterian church.
The house was prettily trimmed with
flowers. In the dining room a dainty
white table held the refreshments, and
among them the tiaditional big white
bride's cake. This taole was decorated
with flowers. Another table held the
numerous and costly wedding presents,
gifts from scores of friends.
Miss Ferguson is weil known on the
West side, and Mr. Bishop has been for
several years a resident of St. Paul, and
is a prominent member of St. Andrew's
society. A large number of guests
were invited. Among them were Hon.
William Rogers and wife. Mr. and Mrs.
Agnevv. Mrs. Keys, Mr. and Mrs. C. S.
Renyolds, Mrs. Woatson, Mrs. Dreau
waki, of Chicago; Miss Eugenic Fon
tain, Messrs. Charles King, Charles
Hunt, William Maxrield, Duncan Fer
guson, James Ferguson, Dr. Dunwoodie,
Andrew Ferguson. Tom Ferguson,
William Ferguson, William Maxwell
and many others. There was an air of
delicious mystery observable about the
route to be followed on the wedding
journey. The only hint that either Mr.
or Mrs. Rogers would give was that
they would leave this evening for the
North and then return home. They will
keep open house for their friends at 00
George street, West St. Paul.

MEGRIM.
A Form of Sick Headache Caused
by Kye Strain.
Philadelphia Record.
This distressing condition of pain in
the head. It is most invariably confined
to one side of the head and is distinctly
localized-in the frontal (above the eyes),
temporal or occipital (above the nape of
the neck) region. There is perhaps no
form of pain more frequently encount
ered by the physician in his round of
labor. It is an affection common in ail
climes, and neither height, depth nor
atmospheric conditions confer immunity
from the attack to those who are predis
posed to it. The fresh, cool fragrance
upon the mountain top, the peaceful
hush in the valley and the foam of the
mad sea offer life-giving and renewing
properties sufficient to calm the most
painful throes, but megrim never yields
nor is held back by such as thesa."
It is hereditary. It commonly shows
itself before the thirtieth year of age
and subsides in later life. Digestive
disturbances were commonly supposed
to be tlie causes which excited the at
tack. So, too, nervous exhaustion aud
nervous irritation were believed to be
active factors In precipitating an at
tack. The best medical authorities now
say that the chiefest and most frequent
cause of megrim is an abnormal condi
tion of the eye or its appendages. There
is no reason why a muscle or .muscles of
they eye should not become fagged out
just as the muscles elsewhere do. Let
one bear a weight all day loner, does he
not attribute his consequent backache
to the heavy burden he has borne? It
seems without elaborate thinking we
could conceive ot the results following
upon prolonged use of the eye. No
earthly architect ever yet planned a
structure that would not yield, crumble
and fall, and the house human so ex
quisitely uplifted in curious and mys
terious ways falls aud returns to dust
more rapidly and surely than need
be, for the reason that we do
not realize how much one part
is sustained or overthrown by au
other. One tiny muscle is potent
enough to disturo the whole economy,
especlajly if intercurrent diseases exist
in addition to "eye straiu." The
symptoms of attacks of sick headache
are always paroxysmal and peculiarly
explosive in character, indicating the
approach of trouble. Upon awakening
In the morning one's head feels heavy
and a sense of extreme languor is pres
ent, with a decided aversion to effort —
even to eat. Sudden movements ot the
head or body are followed by pal us in
the head. Stooping causes very un
pleasant sensations— "makes the head
swim," as a poor sufferer describes it.
As the day advauces a pain of very de
cided character is felt in the head, and
as the day wears on absolute rest, quiet
and darkness become imperative. The
pain becomes more aud more intense
until the patient begins to vomit. This
often closes the attack and a heavy
sleep follows; generally several tits of
vomitiuirare experienced, accompanied
by retching, sweating, pallor and great
physical exhaustion. Megrim is usually
relieved in twenty-four hours, although
it may last for two or three days.
For treatment during the premonitory
stage it is best to take an emetic or a
good purge. Warm water with a little
mustard added (half teaspoonful to glass
lukewarm water) makes an excellent
emetic, aim a tablespoonful castor oil
an admirable purge. Often copious
draughts of very hot will cut
short an attack, If the /«ia becomes

intolerable, immersions of the entire
body in a very hot bath will nearly al
ways give relief. After the bath put
the patient to bed in a darkened room,
shut out all noises and place a bag part
ly filled with hot water at tho back of
the neck. Usually one will need no
further treatment to induce sleep. In
the intervals between attacks benefit
may be derived from out-of-door exer
cise, tonics, a regular and mild diet and
attention to the bowels. But until the
eye strain is removed no lasting free
dom from paroxsyms is to be hoped for.
Eye strain is indeed a serious thing,
when it alone is responsible for even
one ill like this one.

AUNT JEMIMA'S QUILT.
A miracle of gleaming dyes.
Blue, scarlet, buff and green;
O ne'er before by mortal eyes
Such gorgeous hues were seen.
So grandly was its plan designed.
So cuunnitfly 'twas built,
The whole proclaimed a master band —
My Auui Jemima's quilt.
Each friendly household far and wide
Contributed its snare;
It chronicled the country side
Iv colors quaint and rare.
From belles aud brides came rich brocade
Euwrought with threads of Kilt;
E'en buxom widows lent their aid
To Aunt Jemima's quilt.
No tapestry from days of yore,
No web I'roin Orient loom.
But paled iv beauteous tints before
This strange expanse of bloom.
Here glitteriug stars and comets shone
O'er flowers that never wilt:
Here fluttered birds from worid unknown,
On Aunt Jemima's quilt.
O, merry was the quiltiusc bee.
When this great quilt was done:
The rafters rang with maiden glee,
And hearts were lost and won.
Ne'er did a throng of braver nieu
Iv war clash hilt to hilt.
Than sought the smiles'of beauty then,
Kouud Aunt Jemima's quilt.
This work of art mv aunt esteemed
The glory of the age:
No poet's eyes nave ever beamed
More proudly o'er his page.
Were other quilt to tbis compared,
Her nose would upward tilt:
Such impudence was seldom dared
O'er Aunt Jemima's quilt.
Her deaf old hands have none to dti3t,
That once were lithe and light;
Her needles keeu are thick with rust,
That flashed so nimoly bright,
And here it lies by her behest.
Stained with the tears we spilt,
Safe folied in this cedar chest —
.My Aunt Jemima's quilt.

A TINY GARMENT.
New York World.
It was a little after 7 o'clock; the most
quiet hour of a summer clay in the edi
torial rooms of the great morning paper.
The rooms of the managing editor were
still dark. A single editorial writer
scribbled away at his shabby desk in a
little den assigned to him. The local
room, which but a moment before had
been brisk movement and confusion,
was silent and deserted. The big detail
book, lying open on the shelf before the
city editor's window, had issued its or
ders, and in obedience to them the small
army of reporters had filed out.
In an anteroom that led to the main
hallway lounged Simpson, a general
utility man, ready to serve in case of
emergency. The only .occupant of the
local room was Brander, the city editor.
Brander sat in his small private office,
separated from the main room by a
glass partition, through which he coula
see every man and every tnovementin it.
It was not particularly pleasant to be
under Brander's eye, and there was
scarcely a member of the local staff who
had not freely cursed the little glass
office and its point of vantage at the
end of the long apartment, where its
tenant could focus every corner and
cranny.
If Jones essayed to have a quiet chat
with Robinson there was sure to come
a courteous summons from the glass
office, calling his attention to an error
in the copy lie had just given in; and if
Robinson," in passing Smith's desk,
halted to laugh with him over the latest
joke told by Chirkup. the clown in local
politics, he would receive a gentle re
minder that when he had finished the
story in hand there was another detail
that he might work on; and everybody
knows that a second detail in the same
evening to a staff man. who has done
his full duty by the first, is an indignity
that no man who respects himself will
patiently endure, ami thnt no man who
is not an ogre will inflict.
Brander did not look as if the milk of
human kindness flowed in his veins that
night. He was a tall, raw-boned fel
low, with a broad forehead and a face
that could be kindly, but that wore an
habitual frown. The strength and grace
of the man lay in his sparkling, dark
eyes, and a certain awkward dignity
that asserted itself in his shambling*
loose-jointed gait and his hesitating
speech. He sat looking out of his win
dow into the crowded stieet, where
happy crowds jostled on the narrow
sidewalks with smiles and cheerful salu
tations; and shame and woe fought for
mastery in his heart. His mind again
and again rehearsed the scene that had
taken place at his home before lie had
come down for the night's work.
"1 asked her not to go. That should
have been enough. How could I ex
plain to her the hints and insinuations 1
had heard? Or define to her the sort
of a man 1 knew Carew to be'? He never
plays the 'squire to a pretty woman
without a dastardly object. She be
lieves in him— more than she believes
in me. Considers him a proper escort
because there is a distant consulship;
or she affects to. How far has it gone?
How far has it gone?
He arose to answer a whistle for
"copy," stuffing a bundle of sheets into
a little hole in the wall, and jerking a
cord that sent them spinning up to the
composing room in the top story. He
turned back to his desk, and tried to
busy himself with the papers there, but
his gaze traveled again and again to the
brightly lighted street, and his thoughts
wandered.
"I was a fool to havo married her.
She. young and pretty, fond of society,
of music; I| getting old and gray, de
testing these things, caring only for
home and her, and yoked to this jugger
naut that crushes those who draw it a?
well as those who are dragged under it.
I haven't any time for idling, and I be
lieve I've forgotten how. She taxed me
with it tonight, and said Carew was
bright and agreeable and she enjoyed
his society. Talked of the matter with
pertect Indifference, her needles click
ing in the most exasperating way while
she worked steadily on at some fluffy
pink thing, one of those bewitching,
scarf-like lioods, I'll be bound, that
pretty women like to wrap round their
heads when they go out at niglit, for
fellows like Carew to admire. And she
said it was cruel for me to misjudge her,
and to try to spoil her pleasure.
"She is olf with him by this time. It's
to be a swell affair. Jenkins, whom
we've sent over there, is a thorough
man: he'll have the name and costume
of every pretty woman there, and he's
not likely to miss her. 1 shall have the
pleasure of editing his copy, and of
learning how she looked and dressed."
The door of tha local room opened. A
young special reporter, who had been
hanging around for a month to secure a
detail, walked briskly in and seated
himself at a desk, with a look in Brand
er's direction that invited attention to
his despatch in discharging a mission.
Brauder scowled cordially at him. He
did not approve of a fellow who took
only half an hour to execute a com
mission that Would have justified half
the evening. There, was a jingle of the
telephone bell in the anteroom, and a
man's voice assenting to some message
whispered over the wires. Then Simp
son, the emergency man, strode thr&ugh
the local room, and flung open the door
of the glass office.
"My soul, Brander! The most hor
rible accident— "
"Ah, is it possible? What Is It, Mr.
Simpson?
Brauder always resented familiarity.
The emergency man accepted the re
proof, aud changed his style of address,
laying sarcastic exphasis upon the pre
fix as he again addressed his superior.
"1 beg your pardon, Mr. Brander. The
8 o'clock train from the western suburbs
has run off the line. vV hat's the mat
ter, Brandei? Are you sick?"
Brander's face was ghastly. It was
the train his wife and Carew was to
have taken, but he met the other's in
quiry with icy resentment.
"You are deviatiug from your text,
Mr. Simpson. What cisc have you
learned?"
"The line is strewn with debris— and
bodies."
"Very well. Make your way to the
scene of the accident as fast as you
can. Leave that rubbish, and join Mr.
Simpson," added Brander, stepping out
of his office and addressing the amazed
special, who was slyly consulting a
Thesaurus. "I'll have two or three
other men there before you're off. Get
every item you can. Don't let anything
escape you."
He followed the departing men into
the anteroom and rang the telephone,
calling up a reporter stroug on descrip
tion, who had been sent to the opera,
and he sent a special messenger to an
other reporter who was a walking di
rectory of names and faces, ordering
him to see each body as it was extricat
ed from the ruin.
At this moment the assistant editor
made nis appearance. He had been let
off for the evening, but had made his
way to the office at the first tidings of
the disaster, led by that strange fascina
tion that draws every newspaper man
to the center of action when any great
calamity is announced.
"You may take charge of the office,
Harry," said Brander, quietly. "Hurry
the men up on this stuff; have them
boil down every item. Send the men
down to the railwaj as fast as they turn
off the work ou hand. Run every line
they bring that isn't repetition. People
will want to read nothing else tomor
row. You'll have to fight Bangs."
Bangs was the business manager. "He's
been laying himself out on ads, but if
he wants to get them all in he'll have to
get out an extra sheet. He can arrange
that for himself."
"He has a cool heady' commented the
assistant, looking after the retreating
figure with hearty admiration. "He's
going to be in the thick of it. and keep
the boys up to their work. We'll sell a
100,000 copies tomorrow. The other
papers will be nowhere."
David Brander was in the thick of it,
but his direction of the local staff termi
nated with his parting instructions at
the office. Those who viewed the scene
of the awful catastrophe noticed a man,
silent and watchful, gliding about,
threading his way through the debris,
and lookiug into dead faces that smiled
to him a ghastly greeting. He reached
out his hand and touched rich locks,
the color o* 1 her hair. And he gathered
a shred of some light cloak, em
broidered with pearly beads, and
looked at it long and closely in the elar
ing search-light of an electric light im
provised for the occasion. When he saw
insensible forms that might never again
know pain, he turned away sick at
heart. Once, with a glow of joy that
overmastered his own black grief, he
took from a dead mother's stiffening
arms a little child that was still warm
and bieathing.anci handed it to one who
stood to receive it, while the crowd
sobbed and cheered. Off again through
the debris. Who— who is this in front
of him?
It is Carew.still wearing the overcoat,
bending over the dead, searching with
ghoulish expectation and a wan face
that to his rescuer seemed to bear the
brand of sin. The pure exaltation of
the moment was swept away by a sud
den tide of passion that might have
made him a murderer, had not oppor
tunity been denied him.
There was no longer any hope of
finding other living souls.
"Were there any people— that we
Knew?" asked Blander of! the youthful
reporter whom he came up with.
"There is M., the lawyer, Mrs. L., the
rich widow, and quite a number of rep
utable business men. And there is one
girl 1 used to go to school with—"
Brander respected the boy the more
for the tear that stood in his eye. He
pressed his hand, and, giving him some
final directions, said:
"There is no message to deliver for
me at the office, thank you. i shall Dot
be down again tonight."
He was at last on his way to the
empty place he called home, and grief
and shame walked beside him. He put
"his key in the latch and turned it
softly, as he had been in the habit of
doing when he came in late, lest he
might disturb her slumbers, and he
stepped lightly on the stairs and opened
and shut the door of their little sitting
room with a stealthy touch, like one
who comes as a thief in the night,
looking upon that to which he has no
title.
How pretty fhe rooms were, with their
vvarm-hued draperies, their modest, but
comfortable furnishings, the books and
magazines scattered about, the glowingi
embers in the grate. They had made
the best of it, although neither of them
had ever approved of life in a flat. The
dream of their early married life had
been the possession of a house In the
country. For upward of two years he
had been striving to make the dream a
reality, keeping up a special correspond
ence with a provincial daily, turning off
an occasional paper for a magazine.
The deeds to a fine house at Watford
were at that moment In his breast
pocket, and they were to have been her
birthday gift.
Now all was changed. Tonight he
wrestled alone with the loss that be
fore another day had passed would be
heralded throughout London; but the
huniilation and grief that underlay it
would be forever locked in L>.is own
heart. He was uot the same man as he
was yesterday. The whole current of
his life was changed, and his fool's
dream of happiness was over. Yet so
familiar and undisturbed were all the,
objects about him that he could almost
fancy the events of the day to be some
hateful vision, and that he could hear
the sound or her breathing, low and
regular, in the darkened room beyond,
whose door stood ajar.
For his thoughts kept returning to
her. Strive as he might to think of his
future plans, or the effect this would
have on his position among men. or
what story he had best give the boys to
morrow, he found himfelf perpetually
dwelling upon her, and recalling little
unheeded circumstances in their mar
ried life. What did it matter how the
Dublic took it, or what comments it
would make? What did he care for
Carew's silly vanity, or the base pur
poses he might have harbored. The
one thing that absorbed him was the
thought of his wife, and the relation
between her and himself. And in
agouy of spirit he asked over and over
again the question that had haunted
him since sundown: How far had it
gone? llow far had it gone?
Her work-basket stood on the mantel.
The cover was slightly lifted, and he
saw half thrust into it the filmy pink
web and tho glittering needles whose
persistent click had so annoyed him.
He reached out his hand and drew the
little roll of worsted towards him with
a fierce movement, droppiug the ball on
the hearth. He smoothed the work out
on the mantel shelf, and straightened it
into shape with his great hands, scarred
and gashed with the work they had
dove that night. And it was a tiny
shirt, floecy and rose-tinted as the
clouds of dawn upon which little new
born souls came sailing in their strange
voyage from the great unknown.
Oh, blind, biind, blind that he had

been ! At last his eyes were opened,
and he saw her soul in all its 'purity
and Innocence. He groaned aloud, and
a scalding tear baptized the tiny gar
ment.
"David!"
Do ransomed souls ever come back
from paradise, bringing comfort and
healing to the stricken heart 3 they
leave behind? With such divine ten
derness might they speak? He raised
his head, and saw her standing there
in the doorway that separated the two
rooms, clad in some white wrapper, her
cheeks flushed with sleep, her eyes lov
ing and trustful.
"I tried to sit up until you came home,
but you were so late that 1 thought I
would lie down for a little time, and 1
fell asleep. You couldn't think I would
go, David, after what you said? I
thought it all over after you were gone;
second thoughts are best; and 1 saw
that you were right. I will never let
you be troubled iv that way again, for^
oh, David!"
The confidence that trembled on her
lips, so long held in reserve oy a young
wife's instinctive delicacy, remained
unspoken, for she saw the gossamer
web crushed beneath his hand, and
with a cry and a blush rescued it from
him.
He took her in his arms, to make sure
that she was flesh and blood, and he
prayed that she might never know how
cruelly his thoughts had wronged her.
"But you are so strange and silent,"
she murmured. "And your clothes are
soiled. Wheie have you been, David,
and what have you been doing?"
"Tomorrow I will tell you, dear. Not
tonight," he replied, in a choked voice.
The young wite, looking up, was im
pressed by the solemn rapture in his
face.
SWEDEN'S SCHOOL SYSTEM.
An Interesting Description by a
Scandinavian.
Boston Traveler.
A citizen of Lynn, who wa3 born and
educated in Sweden, has kindly written
for the Item the following description
of the school system of his native coun
try:
The Schools of Sweden— The Swedish
schools are divided into two kinds, the
people's schools and the academical
schools. The people's schools are di
vided into those for young pupils and
those for older ones, and they are es
tablished throughout the whole country.
Children begin their school life at the
age of seven years, and attendance is
obligatory till the time they enter the
confirmation school, which is at about
the age of fourteen or fifteen years. If
the parents neglect to send their chil
dren to school they have to answer to
the law, which is carried out in
its minutest detail. Iv this case
the children are taken in hand by
the community, and the expense is
afterward chartred to the parents. If
the parents are too poor to keep their
children iii school tney are assisted by
the government, which furnishes them
with needful clothing, and, if necessary,
grants a certain allowance to assist fu
supporting the children. If the children
themselves object to attending, they are
escorted to school by the police or taken
from the custody of their parents and
sent to the reformatory school.
The general studies are Lutheran cat
echism, Bible history, arithmetic, his
tory (Swedish and general), geography,
natural history, bookkeeping, writing,
drawing, music, sloyd and other manual
training, military drill and physical
culture, a subject- to which thirty min
utes are given daily and in which all
must participate unless excused by a
physician's certificate. When older, i
pupils are ooliged to attend the gym
nasium two afternoons a week. In
cities they are taught skating and
swimming under special teachers. Co
| education of the sexes is general.
The school session is seven hours
daily, with three recesses of fifteen min
utes each, and all pupils have home
study. If any pupil is found iv the
street in the latter part of the evening
he is liable to punishment by the school
authorities. The use of tobacco among
the pupils is quite successfully prohib- j
lted. ]
The schools are opened with prayer
and song, for the school authorities
realiza the great value and influence
sons: has in cultivating the nobler feel
ncs, and stimulating both teachers and
scholars for their duties.
The academic schools, which have an
eight years' course, are divided into
classical and "real" (our English). In
the classical schools pupils study the
dead languages (Greek, Latin and He
brew); in the "real," modern languages
(German, English and French) are taken.
Other branches^ nearly identical in the
two schools, are Christianity, history
(both ancient and modern), higher
mathematics, sciences and the history
of literature.
The pupil, having finished this course,
tries the final examinations, called tii<
mature examinations.- which are ii
charge of a special department of t!x
government, which furnishes the que:^

Chicago Xcws-Hecord.
The matinee woman, with her two
friends, approached the box office.
"What's the price of parquet seats?"
"Oue-fitty," said the box ollico agent,
politely.
"That much apiece?"
"Yes, ma'am, apiece."
"Couldn't you let me have three for
$2.25?"
"No, ma'am."
"How mean! Couldn't you let mo
have two seats and a general admission
for that?"
"No. ma'am; general admission 50
cents."
"Ain't that horrid? And oh, I've
only got §1.25, come to think of it. Can't
1 get three general admissions for
that?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am. It's against our
rules."
fip'Theaters are just as mean as— well,
how many admissions can I get for
$1.25?"
"Two, ma'am."
"Well, give me two, then. (With sar
casm) I suppose you don't want the odd
quarter, too?"
"iNo, ma'am."
"Well, girls, I think it's just awful.
We'll have to do the best we can. Here,
you two take these tickets and go in and
sit down somewhere, and I'll
go and get 25 cents' worth of
caramels, and then one of you
come out after the lirst.act— l've seen
their old play once, anyway— and give
me return check, and I'll go in for an
act, and then Flora can come out and let
you in for another act. See? We'll see
the thing if they do make a lot of
schemes just to make peopla trouble.
Now go right in, so as not to miss any
of it." •
