I said be te my old friend, Pete II., who had secured me the position. "Well," said he, after a reflective pauBe, "de you retain a clear recollection of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet? Fer, if you de, you are equal te any educa tional demand ihis camp will make en you.". It was a reckless "camp." Ne phase of life was viewed or treated seriously. They did walk their horses te the grave slowly at a funeral, but bow they did race back I It was legally necessary, however, that I should be examined as te my ability by the school trustees. These were Dr. D., ,Bill K., a saloon keeper, and Tem J., a miner. I met them in the justice's office. The doctor was an important appearing man, proud, pompous, well dressed and spectacled. He glared at me with an ex pression betwixt Badness and severity. I saw he was te bd the chief inquisitor. I expected from him a searching examina tion, and trembled; it was years since I had seen a school book. I knew that in geography I was usty uwi in luatiie- matlcs musty. BeroreJueWWrstieTIhTebook. The lecter opened it, glared en me leisurely. and finally said: "Spell cat." I did be. "Spell hat." I spelled. "Rat," Bald the doctor, with a leek of explosive fierce ness, and in a tene an octave higher. I .spelled, and then remarked: "But, doc dec dec ter, you surely must knew that I can ' spell words of ene syllable?" "I don't," hi) Bbeuted, and propounded "mat" for me te spell, with en increase of energy in his voice, and se went en until I had se spelled long enough te amuse him and the ether two trustee triflers. Then he shut the book, saying: "Yeung man, you'll de for our camp. I wouldn't teach that school for $5,000 a year j and there are two boys you'll have for scholars that I advlse you te kill, if possible the first week. Let's all go ever and take a drink." My school house was the church, built and paid for partly by the gamblers and partly by the geed people of Jimtown "for the use of all sects" en Sundays, for educational purposes en week days. I was shut up in that little church bIx hours a day with sixty children and youths, ranging from 4 te 18 years'ef age. In summer it was a fiercely het little church. The mercury was always near 00 by neon, and sometimes ever 100, and you could at times hear the shingles split and crack en the reef of the cathedral. A few years of interior California summers' suns will turn un painted beards and Bhlngles almost as black as charcoal. The majority of my pupils' parents being from New England and North America, they brought and carried into effect all their North American ideas of education. The California summer heat is, I think,innt for educational pur poses. It is tee het te herd sixty rest less children together six hours a day. They proved this in several cases. Seme fell sick suddenly. Some fainted. But this made no difference. The school went en in nil its misery. I sent a faint ing child home ene day, and the father returned with it an hour afterward. Ha was fierce, and said he wanted his child kept in school when he sent it te school. This was in California's early days. My scholars were the children of the Argonauts, and In seme cases had coiue out with them. There was then no regu lar system of text books. Publishers had net commenced making fortunes by getting out a new school book system every three, years. My scholars came, bringing a great variety of school books. They brought "Pike's Arithmetic," which hed come ever the plains, and "Smith's Geogra phy," which had sailed around Cape Hern. Seldom were two alile. But the greatest variety lay in grammars. There was a regular museum of English grammars, whose authors fought each ether with different rules and called the various parts of speech by different names. I accounted for the great vari ety, of grammars n the supposition that it is or was the ambition of a large pro portion of schoolmasters te write a work en grammar befere they died and say: "I have left another grammar te bless and confuse posterity." Besides bringing grammars, most of the boys brought dogs. Dogs of many breeds and sizes hovered around the school house. They wanted frequently te come in, and did often ceme in, te sneak under the seats and lay themselves at their masters' feet. I had frequently te kick or order them out, and I noticed that whenever a deg was chased out Ite would teke the longest read te get out, and under as many seats as possible, in order te receive as many kicks as possi ble from the youthful owners of the ether dogs. I could net se orgeniso a battalion of ten different grammars as te act in con cert en my grammar class of twenty pu pils. Se I put them all en the retired list, and tried te teach tills se called "sci ence" orally. I chalked the rules en the blackboard, as well as the names of the different parts of speech. , I made ray scholars commit these te memory, stand ing, although I will net argue that mem ory takes any stronger grip en a thing while the pupil stands. At last I taught a few with geed memories te "parse.' I worked hard with that grammar class, and was very proud of their profleienoy until I found that after months of tltta drilling they neither spoke nor wrote any better English than before.

An lntt,.-: irjn'"' the audience I invited did nib r .-cut duzv age en one of these memorized jx ft nn t anccs by asking a simple arithin. ', A question of the show off goegrai.M'U boy. The urchin was brilliant in deal;- 1 with boundary lines, capes and islandi', but his head was ene that mathematics could net readily be injected into. On the ether hand, my specimen grammar ian was as likely te describe an island as a body of land surrounded by land as by water. I had no heart te find fault with this peer barefooted urchin who, when in class, was always trying te stand en one leg, like a crane, and send ing his right big tee en exploring scratch ing expeditions up his left trouser. He had been born and brought up In an in land country, where no body of water was te be seen save an occasional fleeting mud puddle; and what earthly concep tion could he form of the ocean and its Islands? But the parents who attended these exhibitions of stuffed memories were airuuk ut the proficiency of the progeny, and retired with the impression that they had parroted off se much that was all Greek te theui; and after I had been In this occupation a year I would sit in my empty tjieoleglcal school heuse when they had geno and try and convict my self as a profound humbug, and one, tee, compelled, in order te get a living, te encourage and fester a system which had se much humbug in it, The California schools were net then "graded." They were conducted en the "go as you please" plan, sometimes go ing as the teachers pleased, sometimes ns the parents pleased, sometimes as the pupils pleased. The parents of the youth ful brains I was trying te develop into future statesmen and presidents wanted me te teach many things. One father wished his son taught Latin. It is bring ing extremes pretty near each ether te teach Latin and A B C's. But I "taught" the young man Latin as I was "taught" many things at school. I started him committing te memory the Latin declen sions and conjugations, and then heard himt "say Ids lessen." If he get any thing out of it I don't knew what it was, except tough work. He never reached any translations of the classics, for sev eral reasons. Anether father was annoyed because I exercised his son mathematically in what, in these dnys, were called "vulgar fractions." "I don't want," said he, "my son te have anything te de with frac tions, anywny. They're no use in biz ncss. Ennytliing ever half a cent we call a cent en the books, and ennytliing under it we don't call nethin. But I want Themas te be well grounded in tare nnd tret.'" Se I grounded Themas in "tare and tret." He grew up, took te evil ways, and was hung by a vigilance committee semewhere in Southern California. A boy who stammered very badly was sent me. I was expected te euro him. Five or six of my pupils were Mexicans, and speka very little English. One of my hardest trials was a great, stout boy, se full of vitality that he could net remain quiet at his desk. I could net blame him. He had force eueugL inside of him te run u steam engine It would have vent in some direction. But it would net expend itself in "learning lessens." He would work his lioeks into a mass of deg's cars. His writing book was ever in mourning with Ink stains. His-face was generally Inky. His ink stand was generally upset, no ueuld held a pen as he would u pitchfork, lie seemed also te give out his vitality when liecame te school and infect nil the oth eth ers with it. He was net a regular scholar. He was sent only when it was an "off day" en his father's "ranch." In the scholastic sense lie learned nothing. But that boy at the age of 15 would drive his father's two horse wngen, leaded with fruit and vegetnblca, 150 miles from California te Nevada ever the rough mountain reads of the Sierras, sell the produce te the silver ininersef Aurera and adjacent camiis, and return safely home. He was obliged in places te camp out at night, cook for himself, leek out for his stock, repair harness or wagon and keep an eye out ferskurking Indians, who, if net "hostile," were net saints. When it came te using the baud and the head together he had in him "go," "gumption" and executive ability, and none of my "teaching" put it where it was in hhu either. He may have grown up "unpolished," but he is one of the kind who are at this moment hiring polished and scholarly men te de work for them en very small wages. I de net despise "polish" and "cult ure," but is there net an education new necessary which shall give the child seme clearer idea of the manner in which it must cepe with the world in a few years? The land today is full of "culture" at ten dollars a week. Culture gives polish te the blade. But it is net the process which makes the hard, well tem pered steel. The "smartest" boy in my school gave me even mere treuble than the son of the rancher. He could commit te memory as much in teti minutes as the ethers could in an hour, and the balance of the time he was working off the Satanism with which he wna tilled. Ills memory was nn onmheroiu maw. it ueuld take in anything and everything with the Biu.ille.st amount of triplication. It would have required twe-thirdinf my time, te feed this veracious and mischievous lit tle monster with books for his memory te devour.

Hpleudld Werk at lh Mew Tork Htwr papers Every TTeek. SpecUl CorrMpeudence. New Yebk, Feb. 87. The output of the metropolitan press en a Sunday is one of the modern marvels of literary and mechanical industry. Twenty years age an eight or twelve page paper was looked upon as a remarkable stroke of enterprise; new the publishers de net think they are abreast of the times un less they give you at least a half pound of reading matter, embracing from twenty four te forty-eight pages. Still greater is the wonder that the managing editors se succeed in diversifying the matter which they send out te the publie that ene feels dissatisfied with a single journal and equally unhappy at his inability te swallow the entire mess of interesting literature at ene gulp. Thus every paricr has an individuality of its own, a physi physi physi ogemy, se te speak, as distinct as that in persons. Its pictures, themes, range et thought, method of treatment and gen eral style all vary from theso presented by the ether papers, yet all are attrac tive te an extraordinary degree. Take The Herald, Sun, World, Times, Press, Star and Tribune, te say nothing of The Sunday Dispatch -and Mercury, and you have as many unbound volumes of choice matter as a man can read hi an entire week. Yet there are thousands who buy the whole let. The politicians constitute ene class of purchasers; the ludics are likewise a numerous body of customers; advertisers are eager te scan the "want" columns; ethers are following the "Te be continued" stories, while hun dreds of literary people, with scissors and paste tot, transfer te their scrap books the many articles they desire te prcaerte. Mere than ene pcrseu within the writer's acquaintance employs n secretary whose duties it is te cull, classify and index the material selected for future use, and in the library of a famous correspondent, whose naine is familiar te the reading world, a score of bIicIvfs are occupied with the scrap lioeks that seme day will furnish him these bc6t thoughts of the best writers of our land. It is safe te say that within a decade the army of readers has increased ten fold; editors have, therefore, been com pelled te keep pace with the progressive demands of their mero cultivated taste, and thus we ha e better pajiers than ever licfere. By way of illustration, let me briefly describe three of them ns they ap peared en n recent Sunday The World, Sun and Herald all the titles referred te covering nrticles ranging from a col umn te a page in length, and net includ ing the current news of Die day. In The World were nearly four pages f devoted te the return of Nellie Bly from her remarkablu trip around the world in seventy-two days. One of these pages contained an entire pictorial gaine based en the e cnt. It Is safe te bay that al though the expedition did net cost The World propreiter mero than $."5,000, the daily sales of the paper during her ab sence have been increased five, times that amount Other articles comprised Sal vlui's farew ell te America and autograph letter of adieu ; the offer of a ten thousand dollar policy for the most popular police officer in the country, the question te be decided by the vote of The World's read ers; a s'wcial letter by Castelar, the Bra Spanish statesman, en ullairs in Brazil; hew nn artist paints a portrait; ramie, the new rival of cotton; thu progress of science and art; the story of a detective; what it costs te keep n brougham; what is going en in society; new fads in nole paper, with the signatures of souie of the fashionables; Annie Louise Gary in a diet kitchen; a brilliant, ITOltt, flATtrnPAT MABCH 1 mm ssMMcMrvi ra t j jii .. -. -. - - - 1 ininw""w"t"- ' TIM worms IMMjr Mm MM KyIOirTW; m ptm story by 1M BsMd$ - rntl Um f A4!rtJ IvM tVfter, mm!

At the 14 inch gan. . the reverie would be the cane, and the roll nurser would suffer In ceuscquence.

There Is another pointer which la worth a mention. Every one kuena that the balk line game was Invented for the purpose of do de lug away with cleee rail nursing and the at tendant enormous runs. Suppose a player has the balls near the 14 Inch line playing towards the rear cushion, he will proba bly make six or eight easy carrems before the balls are en the line, than he is forced te destroy his position by driving a ball out of bnlk. tfetr if tills inme player were playing the 8 Inch game, does It net ftnnd clear that with the sarae delicate nurs ing he will roll up sixteen or seventeen points befere the bulls get In balk I That is a case where it is an advantage te be playing 8 inch against 14. If a player is net able te "rail nurse" en 8 Inch hues, It U obviously hotter for him that the line be placed se far out that no ene clad ran de It. The difference botween thu two lines is really net mera tuun SO per cent. DlLOKkM 2. The balk line nurse offers a splendid chance for brilliant work. In accomplishing it the utmost nicety of calculation and the most delicate manipulation of the iveriee are Indis pensable. Diagram 1 shows bow the expert toy with the balls when they get them a strad dle the balk line. The balls as they lie in poai peai poai teon 1 are just right for the nurce. After effecting the carretu they are worked through the successive positions until 4 Is reached. The Inside ball Is then sent te the cushion und back, making position fi. Theu It U all dune ever again. Could anything be prettier I The aaccteg of this nurte depends wholly en the player's ability te deaden the cue ball se as te barely move the carretn ball. Very often the cue ball mutt be deadened altogethcr and the count is mode by tbe kits from tha Inside ball as it returns from the cushion. Turning the corners Is whero most amateur players slip up; it Is indispensable te the nurse. In posi tion 1 the Inside ball B tekes two cushions and steps at C, the carrem ball going te C, and tbe cue ball stepping at A. The ether two diagrams are of shots made by Bcbaeffer en the opening night and are very pretty. One Is a hard fellow for a fine pmitien gained by driving the object ball up gfi'i DUNHAM 3. and down the table. The ether is a flne inawe out of the balk line. The balk line gaine is a thorough tt of the expert's skill. In It the met.t liuilertant shot Is the draw; the next shot In importance is the klugle cush ion; then comes Uur.uuuM anil, lastly, the fellow -.het. At the nuuw stroke Kchaeffer it king of them all; at tbe short draw Hlouen is very geed, and at dellcate nursing Daly is uucqualed. Ives Is aclew follower of Bcliue ftr's style of play. "Illclianl" CrltlclMML "Frederick Warde never plays 'Illcbard,'" satd Mr. Keeliln, his advaiice manager, "that I de net think of a criticism of the play which I once overheard in a Dalthaere cufe after the performs ncc.

Tlie matter of ventilation, aui'jrv ethers, received special and admirub'j attention. Te this charity Sirs. Aster contributed as well as her husband, the lady's donation being by bequest. The death of Mrs. Aster, by the way, took the recently deceased millionaire almost entirely out of society. He was always mere of a home man than a devo tee of fashion, and the blew which de prived him of an honored wife practi cally closed his modest career as a giver of dinners and balls. Exceptionally happy in their union, Mr. and Mrs. Aster had ene peculiar bend of sympathy. Beth were constantly and judiciously charitabie. Their annual expenditures in the relief of suffering and want were enor mous, and it was said of Mrs. As As eor that she was mere often te be found among the tonemonts of Avenue A than in the palaces of Fifth nvonue. II e r husband's w. waujeiu astek. OT0 followed her even after death, and for a long time a guard watched by her tomb that no prefane hand should desecrate her last resting place. The hereditary policy of the Asters has been never te sell any real estate. Always buy and always keep Is the fam ily motto. Only once was this rule vio lated. That was iu 1687, when Jehn Jacob and William disposed of a block of land, Mount Merris park and Sixth avenue, for "W','5,000. The reason for the ale was that the property was owned jointly by the biethers, nnd they wished te keep their interests separate The Monday after Mr. Aster's death flags were displayed at half mast en the two buildings in New Yerk which have chiefly aided by their oxistenco in making thu family imuie a household word the Aster Iioule und thu Vster library. Fer the letter conservation and man agement of their immense prejicrty the Asters practically accept and fellow the rules of primogeniture, se that Jehn Jucob'sBenis new the chief of the family and thu OHsntser of thu bulk of its wealth. William Waldorf Aster Is new something ever 40 years of age, and is the first of his name te take any poaitien hi publie life. He has been a member of the New Yerk assembly, an unsuccessful candi date for congress and United States minister te Italy. Ah a diplomate ha no quitted himself with credit, and took ad vantage of his residence abroad te col lect material for two novels, which were recently published and have been re ceived by the publie with moderate favor, lie Is married und the father of several children- W , X - sJT .aat2k ml HV."7MB .sw .l.
