Some Valuable Information About Schools for the Children. The stationers and book dealers are begin- ning to readjust and rearrange the stock on their shelves, for they are realizing that the vacation season is near itsend, and that in a couple of weeks their stores will be filled with ruddy-faced boys and girls, tanned and sun- burned from their sojourns on seashore and in the country, asking for this reader and that speller, some one's algebra and somebody else's geography, for lo! another year has rolled around and the schools will soon be opened again. This is a senson when parents are put into some awkward positions, being forced to de- cide whether John and Mary have had enough schooling, if not where they ht to next, what courses of study they ought to take, what teachers are best, what achools are most effect- ive and economical. A hydra-headed monster is this which confronts them, offering new phases at every turn. It is an important thing to settle, and pany folks feel like giving up in des before settling where their sons and daughters: shall go to school. Tue Star does not pretend to advise any of these sorely- perplexed people, but is glad to give some use- fal ts inthe matter. It, therefore, presents, with some contidence, a few facts that. may be valuable at this time, simply calling attention to some excellent institutions where good value may be had for the expenditure of money: ‘The eighth session of the Norwood institute will begin on Monday, September. 30. This school has achieved « most favorable reputa- tion in the city, and even in other cities, as being well conducted, efficiently taught and in every res] select and first-class. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Cabell are still the principals, Miss Balch has in other years had wonderful ess with the pupils who have gone to her il Service institute” and have afterward applied for positions under the government. Book keeping is made a specialty. The school this year is located at 1207 10th street. ‘There is no branch of edacation more praise- worthy than the kindergarten, which secks to instill valuable and healthy ideas into the heads of the little ones. Mrs. Mann will conduct such an institution this year at 1918 Sunderland Place, south of Dupont circle. Miss Eichelberger will open a select school for instruction in all branehes, with music a specialty, at Takoma Park September 25. Rev. Owen Dorsey of Takoma will give all particu- lars relating to the school. Mrs. Moncure, living at Richland, Stafford county, Va., has opened a pleasant home school forchildren, giving instruction in the regular branches and French, The rates are low, and the location most desirable. The fame and success of Washington's pro- fessional schools has attracted students to this city from all parts of the Union. Promment among those in the front rank is the National médical college, being the medical and dental departments of the Columbian university. The sixty-eighth annual course of lectures will begin Monday, October 7, at 8 p.m. For circulars address the dean, Dr. A. F. A. King, 726 13th street northwest. / A course at a business college or commercial institution is nowadays almost an essential to the young man or woman who, without the means to go to higher planes, desires to work out a winning career. The school established several years ago on Capitol Hill by Mr. Wood has grown into large proportions and now afters great advantages to the young folks who ean business. It is now located at 407 East Capitol street, where Mr. Wood may be seen any evening between 5 and 7 o'clock. It would be hard indeed to say some new word of praise for the Spencerian business college, for it has gone ahead at such a rate, always improving, advancing, that the vocubu- jJary of commendation is about exhausted. The best way to become thoroughly imbued with the idea that this institution is a most valuable one is to send to Principal Spencer for one of his annual announcements, which isenough to tempt almost any one to take a course in something at the college, which is still located in the oo over the bank at the corner of 7th and D streets, On September 2 St. John’s college, on Ver- mont avenue near N street, will reopen for business. The preparatory school of the Columbian college, located at 1335 H street, is more thoroughly equipped than ever. The faculty has been increased and strengthened until further improvement seems unnecessary, The Columbian college, the collegiate de- partment of the Columbiaa university, known all over the United States and regarded asu model educational institution, will begin a new era in its successful existence on September 23. Women will be admitted to all the classes and a number of fair students will enter the lists. The plans for instruction are more extensive than any heretofore adopted, and those who desire information as to their scope may secure it by calling at the library of the university any week from 10 to 12 o'clock, or by addressing President James C, Welling. The Jesuit fathers in charge of Gonzaga col- lege have decided to reopen their school on September 2. St. Mary's academy, on North Fairfax street, Alexandria, takes boarders at $175 per annum and will reopen on Monday next. Ivy Hall, a boarding and day school at Forest Glen, is a delightful place. Miss Emma Prentiss will reopen it on September 16. Thorough education, combined with military drill, is promised by Principal John Calvin Rice of Cheltenham academy, Ogontz, Pa. One of the most complete female seminaries 1m Maryland is that at Frederick, which re- opens on September 10. The teachers are well qualified and all the appointments are excel- lent. The buildings are all that could be re- quired, while the natural surroundings are most attractive. Rockville has an an academy with a reputa- tion for scholarly training. Rev. C. K. Nelson is the principal and he has most competent as- sistants. The location is a remarkably health one and its nearness to this city is no small ad. vantage. Glenmore school for girls, situated at Wash- i mn Grove, reopens on September 16, It is eos as a first-class institution. Open all the year round and fully prepared at all times to teach foreign tonges is the Berlitz School of Languages, at 723 14th street northwest. The success which has attended the efforts of this comprehensive institution grows each year and becomes more marked. A summer school at Asbury Park, N. J., is also largely patronized. Among the professional schools for which Washington is famous the medical department of Georgetown university takes a leading place. This school is provided with unusually fine facilities for imparting instruction in medical science, its building on H street between 9th and 10th having large and well equipped lec- ture rooms and laboratories anda faculty of men distinguished in their specialties. ir ticulars as to terms can be obtained of the dean, Dr. G.

SATURD .NOW FOR THE OYSTER. The “R” Months and What a Scientist | How Congressman Cox was Unwillingly Says About Them. The man who stays out after 12 o'clock to- Drawn into the Salvation Army. During a conversation with Hon. 8. 8. Cox a night may bring home to his wife a box of | few days since in reference to his western trip fried oysters. Just after 12 he can get the first crack at the first month with an “R” in it. ‘No appreciative wife can question the motives of a husband who stays out after midnight on such an occasion, provided he brings the oysters home ina box and not in his pocket. According to the most honored of traditions— and no one buta cold and unsympathetic scien- tist would think of doubting it—the oyster holds cramps and other evil spirits within its little corpus until the hands of the clock pass the hour of 12 on the last day of August. A moment later he is transformed into a delicate tid-bit by the appearance of the month of Sep- tember. The man of learning smiles in a deprecatory sort of way at all this and is not disposed to be hard on you for not knowing better; but he can’t deny that an oyster is not good in any month that hasn’t an “R” in it, THE SCIENTIFIC VIEW. “One should be very careful about eating sea products during the warm months,” said Dr Sterns of the Smithsonian to a Star re- porter. “The; uickly in hot weather and care should be takes to eat them when they are just from the water only, The oyster spawns in the warm weather and is not fit to eat at that time. He is good to eat in the ‘R’ months because they are the cooler and the cold months. But we may have a hot Septem- ber and then the ‘R’ ‘availeth nothing’ for the oyster eater, The oyster has such delicate and fine tissues that it easily decom Ignor- ant dealers sometimes think that as long as the shell is closed the oyster is alive and good to eat. But that is not true. They are often un- fit for food long before they open. These bivalves are not good in the months that have no ‘R’ in them, for those months are invariably warm, but it does not follow because the month is spelled with an ‘R’ in it that ths oyster may safely be eaten far from the place of taking. Crabs and other fish spoil easily in warm weather. SCALED AND SCALELESS FI “It makes some difference,” said Dr. Sterne, “whether the fish is scaled or scaleless, The scaleless fish spoil quicker. Some homeopath- ists in prescribing food for their patients make @ distinction between those fish having scales and those having none. They will let the patient eat the tender-tissued smooth fish when they would not sanction the use of the more hardy scale fish. But all these fish of fat and tender tissues spoil casily and cannot be eaten long out of water, except in the winter time. I should not advise the eating of oysters dur- ing hot September.” ‘br. Sterns knows about all the mollusks and has a wonderful collection of oyster shells as well as shells of every other sort in the museum. The ordinary idea of an oyster shell is not that it is any way beautiful, but some he hasare of exquisite form and of delicate color. One known as the cockscomb is scalloped in graceful points that fit one in the other and looks like the proudest crest of the barn-yard cock, A shell ‘Hentical in variety with that of the Chesapeake bay oyster e from Liberia and held an oyster that weighed a pound. pir eee alt HE WANTED TO GO DOWN. A Man Who Prefers the Ease of the Work House toa Life of Work. Among the prisoners now in tha work house is a tramp whose name is Henry Price. He is between thirty-five and forty years old, and is an Englishman. He spent a large part of last winter in the work house and liked it so well that he returned here two days ago to make that institution his home during the coming winter. Price arrived here Wednesday evening, having then finished a 40- mile tramp from Baltimore. He carried on his back a potato sack, which he said contained a change of clothing. When he appeared at Lieut. Teeple’s station Wednesday night he only applied for lodging, but before his name could be registered he changed his mind and said he wanted to go down. “What's the matter with you?” asked an Officer. “Nothing at all,” replied Price. “I only want to a home.” explained how little he loved work and gave the officers-to understand that he was never born for hard work. “When a man + ie plenty of bread and coffee and only has to do a little work,” said Price, “he ought to be satisfied, I can get that at the work house, and that’s all I want. I don’t ex- pect any more.” When he was led back to a cell he requested that his bread and coffee be sent to him as soon as possible, and he expressed surprise when in- formed that there was not a caterer in the station. He will remain on the farm for three months, his application,he can get three months’ exten- sion of time. —— The Cat Was Saved. ‘The fire department was called on Thursday last to dislodge a pet cat from the cornice of house No. 2009 Massachusetts avenue, A ladder truck and nine stalwart firemen responded.

That we live in an age of mechanical ingen- uity is no doubt a matter of congratulation.

Edmund Yates in New York Tribune. Few people are probably aware of the amount | of labor bestowed by Mr. Matthews on the May- brick caso before he decided to advise to com- mute the sentence. From the first the home secretary entertained a strong feeling of the guilt of the accused, and the scientific investi- gations he made subsequently all tended to confirm the impression. He was, however, handicapped by the inexplicable weakness of | Justice pare who certainly lost that foren- sic strength with which his colleagues of the | bench and bar credited him. The judge reso- | lutely declined to express his personal opinion | of the merits of the case and contented himself | with repeating over and over again his sum- ming up.
