day evening. About sixty guests
were present. The feature of
the evening was an address delivered -
livered by 1\lrs. Ioores of Platts-
mouth She has spent several
years in Mexico and chose as her
subject the Mexican people and
their customs. She stated her
impressions in an easy , yet forci-
ble manner and brought to her
hearers the result of careful'Stmh-
and close observation. Not only
was the address intensely } inter-
esting but it was also practical
and instructive. '
At the close of the address
elaborate refreshments were
served. Thc house had been very
prettily decorated in the Mexican
colors. It , vas a typical evening
with Sorosis which has come to
mean an evening of pleasure and
of profit
School of Few Pupils.
The little islet of Nordstrand
schmor , in the North sea , bout
what is probably the smallest
school in the world. Oceanic up'
heaval hits wrenched the isle
way from the island of Nerd ,
strand , and the action of the sea
is continually wearing the earth
awaJ' A century ago there were
50 inhabitants , who lived bJ' fish
jng and rude husbandry , and in
1836 a. little school was erected ,
capable of providing for about ; 1
dozen children With the dwin
dling of the islet , however , the
population has thinned , and now
numbers no more than 15 S01IIH
For five rears : past the school a1. '
tendance has varied from nothing
to hulfa-dozen children.
Food for Escaped Prisoner
In Siberia the houses in every
village upon the main street facing -
ing the road have little windows
with shelves about six feet above
the ground , and on these steel t'es
the inmates place whatever food
they have to spare. This is a-cus-
tom handed down from a former
mod to aid escaped prisoners ; ,
the shelves being placed at that
height to prevent dogs from get.
Ling at the food.
