Each of these buildings eost! about $200,000, and each wil! accomo- | date about 400 pupils. Both buildings are handsome architectutally, and fitted to give thefulle t possible techni- cal training. The regular courses in | these schools will be four years, but each will have a two years’ course | designed for those who can spend no longer time at the work, OTHER NEW BUILDING, The other new structures, which ac- ;commodate 2,000 pupils and greatly | relieve the congested condition which} has existed in many other of the| buildings for the last year or more, are | as follows: The Emery, a twelve-room | | building in Eckington; structures of feur rooms each in Kenilworth and Petworth; the Morgan, eight rooms, on Florida avenue, between Seven- | teenth and Eighteenth streets north- | west; the Syphax, eight rooms, Half. | street, southwest, between N and O streets; the Langston, on P street, be- | tween North Capital and First streets. | Allofthese buildings are modern in| every feature, audare provided with/ | the latest invention in adjustable desks | | and chairs. Through the increase of $5,000 in the | appropriation for kindergartens, the |opening of two of these institutions for the little ones has been made possi- |ble. The Emery building will have one, and the other will be in the Mor- jgan. Additional kindergartens will be started at Tenrallytown, Lang- don, and Coagress Heights. Cooking | | schools are to be installed in the Em- | \ery, at Tennallytown, and probably at! | Congress Heights. Tennallytown al-| so will have established there a manu-| al training school. | CORPS OF INSTRUCTORS. | In the District’s excellent system of} | public schools, besides the board of! education, consis ing of seven mem-| | bers, the superintendent, two assist-/| | ant superintendents, one secretary, | | three clerks, one messenger. and the! | j | force of janitors, there are 1.301 teach- | ers, as follows: Thedirector of the} |public schools, eleven supervising | principals, a director of manual train | | ing, five principals of high schools, | | one principal each for the white and | colored normal trainjng schools, one director of primary instruc- tion, four heads of departments} of tae high schools, two gram-| mer school principals, five principals of buildings, one head of department of English in manual uraining schools, one director eachin music and draw-| ing, one ditector in physical culture, | two teachers in manual training, two | while they last. | ried. ereachin shop work and free-hand drawing, one assistant instructor in iron work, fourteen high school teach- ers, ten principals of buildings, and the regular corps of teachers, the sal- aries of these latter ranging from $450 & year to $1,000. The night schools are open to pupils not over twenty-one years of ave. In the appropriation bill of the last Cou- gress $6,000 is allowed for them for the coming year. For kindergartens, Lear is allowed. For janitors, care of buildings and grounds, etc., $83.306 1s included.

Mrs. Francis after welcoming the teachers back from their vacation, ga e way to Dr. Montgomery, the assistant uperintendent, in charge of the colo ed schools Dr. Montgomery pointed out that there were 15,580 children enrolled in the senools last year, which was a considerable in- crease over the preceding year’s en- rollment. These children were taught by 426 teachers. He urged the teach- ersto visit the homes and cultivate warmer relation with the pupils and their parents and to nse every possi- ble means to keep up the increase in attendance. After making a kindly , reference to Dr. J. H. N. Waring. who} recently resigned to go to Baltimore, he introduced the new supervisor, Mr. J. C. Nalle. Dr. Montgomery stated that last year the teachers vuluntarily contri- buted the sum of $328.65 for Miss Mag- gie Shelton, a form-r member of the cerps, who is disabled by reason of losing her sight, saying that nothing could be more commendable in the teachers than this deed of kindness. He also expressed the hope that it may not be long before the corps will unite in an effort to establish a teachers’ fund for the aid of those who become | disqualified from long service in the schools. He said that one per cent. of the earnings of the corps would form a sufficient nucleus for such a fund and that there isno doubt that the community whose children are being trained wouid be glai to assist ia such a movement.

Sint USEFUL TOILET DEVICE. the Back of Her Head as She | Twists Her Hair, Now another little convenience has been designed whereby lovely woman may view the back of her head as she ish coiffure, This novelty is in the form of a small mirror, which is so arranged that it may be fastened to a corner of the dressing chair. This device leaves both hands per- | fectly free for the puffing of the full mirrors—a decided advantage when one hasn’t a maid to rely upon. When treating the face the mirror is also an excellent ac by at-! taching it to the window sill or casing, the best possible light is thrown on the skin, so that blemishes uring marks are clearly Altogether, this adjustable mirror will be found decidedly useful among; my lady's up-to-date toilet articles. Since curling irons were decclared harmful to the hair and nobody but | an experienced coiffure dares to manip- | ulate them,all manner of devices have essory and disfig- wh up. parting a natural looking as well as | a lasting undulation to one’s locks. While some of these arrangements are really good, others are absolutely worthless, and in the end do more harm than singing irons. A new shell hairpin which seems to | supply the much desired wave is rec- ommended as being perfectly safe and simple to manage. Tortoise shell, of course, is far bet- ter than wires or irons, as it does not break the hair, and this little affair is made to hold the hair, which is loosely the shank, while a small clasp holds it in place at the | top . Another equally simple contrivance for producing soft waves in the hair without heat or injury is made of |rubber, in colors to match the shade |of the hair. This resembles a bodkin more than anything else, for it is flat, about a quarter of an inch at the broadest part, and kas a small ring at one end, while a tiny knob finishes the other and through the center runs a narrow slit. The strand of hair is first drawn through this opening, and with the un- even ends firmly held in place the hair is loosely wound around the curler, while a rubber cord loops into the ring and is pulled out and caught on the opposite knob. The soft rubber does not break the | hair, and it will be found that undula- ‘tions are secured in a much shorter time with this curler than by meansof | ordinary raethods.—Kansas City Star. woven around BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD.

It oe eurred many years ago, but the sens | ator, telling it wae still chuckling. in his younger days Senator Vest was an ardent hunter and an author- ity on the wild life of the prairies. He was living on the advance line of civili- zation and his home was known far and wide for its cordial and abundant hospitality. There Mr. Vest one day received a visit from a rich and famous hunter from London who brought @& letter of introduction from a friend living in the English capiicl. And the Englishman had brought with him hig own hunting dogs. Senator Vest had dogs of his own and he could not re- press his surprise, but the Englishman asked him to wait and see. They drove for many miles and finally the wagon was left in care of the men, and Mr Vest and the Englishman started out on the quest. They did well. The dogs of the Englishman were not worth much, but the Missouri breed gave ex- cellent sport. “Just wait and chance,” not long ago, y dogs a lishman, give m 1 the F a stronger scent .” said the senator, tell- ory toa New York Sun man, decla | they got, it.

Out of the holes came little you never saw such a mix up in your life, The dogs ran for the Er glishman and jumped around him for protection, Then the Englishman tried to getaway from the dogs for protection, too, and the whole combination started for the wagon. “Put the whip to the horses,” I told my man, ‘and don’t let them get within half a mile of us.’” “Hi, there, wait for me!’ cried the Englishman. “‘Keep your distance,’ I responded, and to the driver 1s ‘Whip ‘em up." So we went mile after mile over that prairie. I pitied the Englishman from the bottom of my heart, but there are times when pity must not get too close I kept him in sight so that he should not miss the way, but he had to walk Once in a whlie he would run as though I would allow him to catch up with the wagon, but every time he did we put on more speed. When we neared town, I had to call baek to him that his come pany would not be desirable for at least 24 hours. Inever saw him again.” “And the little animals in the little holes in the little bill, senator?” Mr Vest was asked. “Polecats,” replied the senator. “The Englishman had read about quail living in holes in the prairie hills and he wouldn’t change his mind when I tried to explain things to him.
