A MOSTH'S VACATION
"To let?" said the agent " Ready

dies, I'm very mtuh afraid I haven't
any suck property in my hands not at
prevent, at least; plenty ol untarnished
houses and plenty to rent for a year.
- But for a month? There isn't any such
real estate in the market there isn't
. indeed.
"We don't want an unfurnished
honee," said-Angela Frost.
, "And wo. nave no occasion to use' a
house for a year," added Josephine, her
-taiL- uioommg young sister.
i "We are school teachers," Miss An
gela explained, " and we have just a
month's vacation, and wo want to
spend it in a healthful country resort.
where 1 can botanize, and where my
sister can sketch in water colors from
nature."
" Indeed, I'm very sorry, ladies; but I
do not think there is any property in the
market hereabouts that would meet your
lacas."
The ladies went slowly out of the stuffy
little room with its high desk, its floor
covered with cheap off-cloth and an at
mosphere of tobacco smoke.
"I'm sorry, Angela,1 ' said t ho young
er. "The aid of these pine-wooded
glens is 'the very thing for your asth
ma." "And the little river in the deep
'gorge is such an exquisite study for
your paintings, Jo," said Angela Frost,
fondly.
"Couldn't wo -llvo in a barn," sug
gested Jo, with a comical arch of her
eyebrows.
"I'm afraid not," sighed Angela.
The real estate agent, in the mean,
while, had hardly smoked a pipe and
read tho local paper before the door
burst open, and a short, stout lady, in a
jiink hat and feathers, camo in.
"" '"Mr. Muggcridgc," said she, handing
him a key, you may let Ivy Glen, or
you nay sell it ready furnished, with a
cow, a poultry house and the pony chaixo
thrown in."
"Madam," said Muggcridgo, bewil
dered. - " I'm tired of it," said tho lady.
" You couldn't let it for a month?"
experimentally hazarded Mr. Mug
"geridgo. " rd let it for three days," said tho
lady,
"I could find you tenants for a
month," said tho agent.
"There is the key."
And away sho -went; and Mr. Mug
geridge clapped his hat on tho back of
nil head and sot oft, in hot haste, to the
hotel, for an interview with tho two
young ladies who had so recently left
his once. t -
J; al no UJuuyjenod.tkt-Jo and. Jax
gcla Frost took triuraphaht possession
of Ivy Glen, a romantic collage Italf
covered with dark green, glossy leaves
of the vino from which it derived its
nanio, with a boudoir, piano, all tho
pictures garlanded with pressed ferns
ftaud dried autumn leaves, and a library
of novels.
"Mrs. Fitch mast have been a very
literary person,'4 said Jo.
"And musical," added Angela.
" As for a servant, ono would only be
a nuisance," said Jo.
"I'll groom the pony myself," said
Angela. ' "He's no bigger than a New
foundland dog tho darling."
"And I'll milk the cow and feed the
; dear little chickens," declared pretty
" Jo.
"It's really an earthly paradise," said
the elder sister.
"So it is," assented Jo.
The two sisters passed three days of
-unmitigated happiness in the deep ra-
viues aBd cool, tlower-enameled woods
. ., that surrounded Ivy Glen.
Angela made various valuablo addi
ctions to her herbarium, and Jo sketched
leafy nooks, bits of falling water and
sunset effects to her heart's content,
until finally an old fashioned rain-storm
set irvof a July afternoon, and prisoned
them in the cottage parlor.
"How stupid this is!" said Jo, start
ing up from her book, as tho twilight
shadows brooded darker and darker in
the room. Let's go down to tho bam
r and talk to Dick and Frirzle. Poor
dears! They must be as lonesome as we
are."
'Dick was the pony and Frizzle was
the cow; and Jo and Angela were al
ready upon tho most affectionate terms
, of intimacy with them.
." It was quite dusk when Marmaduko
Framingham opened the hall door and
strode in, shaking the rain-drops from
his shoulders, as If he had been a huge
Newfoundland dog, and flinging his
fishing creol and tackle on the table.

"Or a crazy man," said Angela,
apologetically.
"And we will entertain you as hos

mischievous sparkle in her eyes.
Marmaduke Framingham was after
ward heard to say that he never spent
so delightful an evening before in his
life. He engaged board at the Dairy
Farm thn next day, and, instead of fol
lowing his sister to the city, stayed
down among this glens aud braes.
And when Josephine Frost's month
of vacation had expired sho went back
to the city to resign her position in tho
grammar school.
"I am going to bo married," shu
confessed, blushing very prettily, when
the mistress asked why.
So Miss Angela Frost went on alone
with her career, and Miss Marmaduke
Framingham 'settled down for life at
Ivy Glen.
" For." said she, "I think it is tho
sweetest spot in tho world."
"So do I," said her young husband.

At the receat ineetiag of the New York
Slate Teachers' AssocuU'oa, the report
of the Suadtag Committee oa the Con
ditoaof Edacatoa showed that, aot
withttaadiag the steady increase ia the
populat!oa of our State, the number of
ch Idren ia daily attendance upoa the
publ c schools is decliaiBg. The de
crva.ee was attributed by the Chairmaa
of the comm ttee to "the increased de
mands made by manufacturing iater
et," by which was meant, we pre
sume, an increased employment of chil
dren ia factories.
The lessening number of children in
school is not culiar to New York State
or to factory towns. At otlier teachers'
gathering this sammcr the ssme con
ditioa of ih'aga has been noted and va
riously commented npon as be'ng more
or less visible throughout the country,
ad more or less to be deplored.
The general feeling seems to be that
the schoolmaster is losing his grip, and
that the country is likely to suffer in
consequence. That the school are or
can be in any way to blame for the dc
clin'ng popular interest in schooling,
thy school authorities are naturally not
ditposed to believe; nor doe. it seem to
occur to them to think that their appar
ent loss of influence may really be aa
indication of the spread of juster views
than formerly pre vailed of what is prop
er for youthful culture.
To ay that fcw.-r children "of school
age," in proportioa to the school popu
lation, arc now to be found auy day in
school than was the rule twenty years
ago, is very far from saying that propor
tionally fewer children are ueing proper
ly educated now. I lie legal ".cuool
age" begins in this State at three year,
rormcrly tho custom was to send little
hoys ami girls three and four years old
to 'the public school; and such is largely
tho custom still among the poorer clash
es. With well-to-do-people, wo are
happy to believe, the sending of such
small children to school is becoming
more aud more the exception. The
growing feeling is that, even when the
school house is kept in a condition san
itarily lit for the reception of infants
which, we fear, is rarely the case the
beginning of school life had better, for
the children's sake, be put off until they
are six, eight, or, when home conditions
are right, ten years old. For this rca
sou a vast multitude of children, whose
educational prospects are the brightest,
arc now kept from school If the school
work were differently plannetl and rog
ul.ited, it might be better for some of
those children to be in school a little
every day: but not under present con
ditions. Tho fact that they are not in
school, however, must not be taken as
oridenco that popular interest in educa
tion is declining, or that popular edu
cation Is .likely to suffer for it. As a
rule children who lcgin serious school
work at eight or ten years of age are as
far advanced in their studies at twelve
as those who begin at three or four, and
usually they are both physically and
mentally in better condition for instruc
tion. 1
Not so satisfactory is the frequent cut
ting off of the othor end of the period
spent in school; and yet even that is not
an unmixed evil, as the schools are
usually conducted. When tho free
school system was first developed, the
belief was general that schooling wsis
the one thing needful to enable voiinir
people to gut on in the world; and it
was a common thing for parents to
mako great sacrifices to keep their chil
dren year after year in school, only to
find in the end that their sous wore too
o'd to do boys' work, and too proud to
begin at tho bottom of any trade or oth
er industrial calling and work up. They
niustdo someth'ng more genteel, and
crowded into the towns aud cities in
pursuit of clerkships and quasi-profes-lional
engagements, in which a little
present salary was accompanied with
extravagant expectations seldom or nev
er to bo fulfilled. Others as unwisely
pressed on in their school course, mort
gaging their future to prepare them
selves for learned professions, vainly
seeking to win fame and fortune ih
places for which they had no real fitness.
The condition of much schooled but ill
educated girls was, if anyth'ng, still
worse.
A natural reaction against this mis
direction of youth and natural result of
the failure of the public schools to shapo
their work to meet the practical wants
of the multitude, is tho disposition to
cut short the school period earl to be
gin in earnest what seems to be the real
business of life. Though ninety-nine in
every hundred youth cannot hope to go
to college, their educational needs are
largely sacrificed to make the school a
possible tributary to the collogc. Time
which tho majority of youth need for
practical preparation for their life's
workis thus very largely given to stud
ies of value only in their relation to a
subsequent college course which is
never to be enjoyed. It is no evidence
of popular unwisdom, as most teachers
seem to think, that there is an increas
ing popular indisposition to surrender
so much of youth's precious time to
such unpractical work. There is noth
ing so valuablo to 3011th is education,
but unhappily schooling and education
are yet far from being synonymous; and

Gambler's Tricks.
Of the hundreds of individuals Avho
daily frequent the gambling dens of
Chicago, probably not one. outside of
the professional gamblers, believes he
is playing against a game that is not
"square." The announcement comes
every little while, as if semi-officlally
from tho police, that only those gambo
ling places where square games are
Jilayed. are allowed to ran. And tho
ools who gamble are none the less fools
lor believing it. ine fact is. however,
that there is hardly a gambling house
in Chicago, where crookedness is not
pracJce J. Ia some of the games, such
as faro, tho percentage against the play
er is very small, if ao cheating device
is employed. Docs any- one suppose
that the propric'orsof agambliagkouse
are too conscientious to employ a little
trickery to increase the chaacea of fleec

It is only a dodge in their hands, but it

what a skillful gambler will do with a
pack of cards. France, England and
tho United States furnish nine-tenths ol
all the card sharpers what We call the
experts. This is, perhaps, because we
have tho most perfect cards in the world,
that can be depended on every time.
The French cards, which arc also used
in England and America, are bettei
made, better printed and more reliable
than any others. The best cards of all
are made in America, but they are still
called French card, as distinguished
from the Spanish, Chinese and others.
Tho Spanish cards are ornamented with
soldiers, swords and guns, and are gen

Somu of our best canls in this country
arc what we know as "crooked," made
by special dealers, oxpreslv for profes

of course, there's no use of any outsider
playing against them. They cost little
more than the others, but they are al
ways better made and worth mo.'c
money.
Tho marking, indicating both the size
or importance of the card as well as the
suit lo which it belongs, is generally in
the upper left hand comer of tho card,
and is, of conr.su. miiiuto and almost
impossible of detection by one who haj

gambler cau do just as well as if his

When the census was taken at Chcrr)

the population, and it is related that at
the ancient unmarried ladies, with the
exception of one, went to see thcii
aunts. The one that stuck it out ap
peared to think that as she bad known

there was no reason for night.
On the great day the census takct
rowed up in a scow and arranged hi
victims along the bank. Everything went
off according to tho act of Congress,
until the maiden lady was reached, then
the trouble began toaccrue.
"What is your name?" asked the
enumerator.

Fletcher! I knew you when yoV failed
in tho kindling wood business, and

rcpl.cd the fady.
"Your name is Susan Pratt, isn't it?"
asked the discomfited enumerator.
" Then what did you ask me for?"
demanded the lad v.
" Unmarried, Miss Paatt?"
"I rejected you four times. Tine
Flet her, which shows that 1 could have
married if I'd wanted tol",
