THE DISTRICT SCHOOL.
"Come on, dear," said Amy, putting
up her p-irasol.
"Dear" came, a chubby five-year-old.
"We'll take a stroll up the road, Mal
colm," said his young aunt.
"All wight," said Malcolm.
They had come, Malcolm and his pa
rents and his father's pretty sistcr,to pass
the summer iu Gloster.
Gloster was only n hamlet, butTt was
cool and green and delightful.
"We'll go along by this stone wall,
dear," said Amy.
They passed u maple grove, a little,
old church, some farm-houses, and then
came suddenly upon b square, white
building, with two doors in front and
yellow-blinded windows. Out of tho
doors bare-footed children, with dinner
pails, were coming.
"A district school !" said Amy. "And
it looks so much like But of course yon
dou't remember, Malcolm. You were
only two years old."
Smiling in a pleasantly retrospective
way, Amy strolled up to the door.
She would have a congenial little chat
with the teacher. Probably it was a
spinster with a pointed nose and a shoulder-shawl,
but
She and Malcolm went in, and the
teacher rose from the desk.
He was hardly a spinster! He was a
tall, bright-eyed, dark-moustached, in
disputably good-looking young man.
"Oh!" Amy faltered.
"Come in!" said the schoolmaster,
though they were in.
Amy mustered her courage. It was
embarrassing, but after all it didn't alter
the case. She would have her congenial
talk just the same.
"Wo thought we'd come in," she said,
sweetly smiling. "You see, I taught a
term in a district school once myself,

"Certainly," said the master. "I am
always glad to have visitors. I'm sorry
my school is out."
lie hastened forward to meet her, and
walked back down the aisle with her.
"I'd have been glad to see it," said
Amy ml very regretfully, however.
'See, Malcolm, dear, that rat on the
blackboard."
"Yes, I illustrate their lessons for my
primer children," said the teacher, laugh
ing. "They like my pictorial efforts."
What n pleasant laugh he had, and
what a clearness and gaiety in his eyes'
Amy's heart beat a little faster.
"It's such work, isn't it, teaching
babies?" she said. "I had an infant of
three in my school."
"Oh, I "draw the line there! But I
have them as small as this young man."
Ho pinched Malcolm's fat cheek.
"Malcolm is live," said Amy. "Have
you many pupils? I had only sixteen."
"Oh, I can beat that! I have forty."
"And you do it all;" said Amy, her
admiring eyes raised to his. "I'm afraid
I'm presumptuous to try to have a con
genial talk," she laughed, ambiguously.
"You see, I taught only one term. I
was spending tho summer at Ilinton, and
the teacher was taken sick the first of
the term, and 1 taught it for her. But
I'm afraid I did it for fun."
"I shall rank you among the peda
gogues, all the same," the young school
master declared, gaily. "You've taught
a school, and the insincerity of your mo
tive doesn't matter. 1 dou't know why
we can't have a congenial talk."
"Perhaps we can," said Amy, with
pretty laughter and a blush.
They had it.
Malcolm, sitting close to his pretty
aunt on the bench, listened round-eyed,
interested if not comprehending.
Amy wondered afterward how ever
they drifted from school methods aud
monthly cxaui'uations to the prcttincss of
Gloster s rambles ami the the pleasant
ness of the ('larks' front porch, where
Amy boarded, aud the excellence of their
croquet ground. But they did; and they
were honestly amazed when the clock on
the wall gave its tehick" for half-past
live.
They looked at each other iu flushed
alarm.
Their acquaintance was an hour and
a half old.
"I've hindered you!" Amy cried.
"You've got lessons to make out, or
something."
"I haven't," retorted the teacher, with
a bright laugh. "I was going home. I
live beyond the darks', and I hope
you'll h t me go with you."
"Come, Malcolm, dear," said Amy,
turning aside her smiling face.
"I don't suppose you will care for my

wouldn't pay you."
"But I shall come, of course," said
Amy, and then blushed for having 6aid
"of course."
Rut the schoolmaster looked happy.
She went up the path in a smiling da.e.
Indeed it had been a congenial talk,
amazingly congcuial I
"Yes, Glostor's pretty quiet," said
Mr. Clark at the supper table. "1 'sposc

'I shall go," Amy muttered, buttering
her roll.
Commencement was drawing to a close.
Tho audience,' which was large, had
listened and upplauded, and tossed flow
ers, and vigorously fanned itself for
nearly two hours. The graduates had
read their essays, and the chairman of
the school board had presented their di
plomas and made a short address.
Now it was the turn of the young mas
ter, nud the audience gave him a little
round of cheers as he rose to speak the
parting word to the graduates. For
Phil Oakes was certain to sav something
worth hearing.
So he did. The conventional senti
ments about the voyage of life and the
port of success were for once neglected.
The young master's speech, was short,
but good; terse, but bright and interest
ing and amusing.
Amy looked and listened.
She was with her brother and sister-in-law,
and she was rather in doubt as to I
the thing she intended doing; but she
did not falter. I
How nice he looked! And his bright
eyes were turned toward her more titan
once. And she had determined to do it
if it was eccentric.
She grasped firmly the handsome nose
g8y of flowers she hud carefully arranged,
red and white and yellow roses, with n
border of delicate ferns, and as the young
master bowed, amid sincere applause, she
threw it with vigor directly at him.
There was a general laugh at the novel
feature, and then a spreading "Ah!" of
consternation.
The, big bunch had lut the rather rick
ety lamp on the organ and knocked it to
the floor. There was the expected crash
of breaking glass; bi t worse, there was
a burst of flame. The oil had caught
fire.
Of course there was a panic. Even
men, in their first fright, pushed to
ward tho door. AV'omen screamed and
children cried.
Kverybody was certain that the build
ing would buru, and there was a general
rush and hubbub.
But Amy stood still. Her sister-in-law
had grown almost hysterical, and her
brother had borne her out, and called to
Amy to follow.
But she did not. She stood motion
less and watched one figure on the plat
form. Phil Oakes had snatched up the carpet
from the temporary platform, and was
valiantly smothering the flames.
Amy waited. She had done it ! If he
was badly burned if he was smothered
it would bo her fault hers! Aud
how differently she had meant it! She
had been foolish, but surely she did not
deserve that her foolishness should be to
his injury. '
The time she stood miserably waiting
waiting till he should see and come to
her, as she knew he woultl (for ho must
know from whom that bouquet had come)
the time seemed endless.
When he came, white faced but smiling,
the tears rushed to her anxious eyes.
"1 wa such a goose!" she said, "What
made me do it ? You are burned both
your hands aud I did it!"
"No, no! A small burn or two
nothing!" Mid the schoolmaster, looking
handsome as he bent toward her. "Don't
think it ! I have your flowers, and they
were worth it ! Are you alone? Let me
take you home."
She took his arm. He was uot much
hurt, and he held her flower tightly in
his hand, and they were going out into
the. cool night together, and she was
almost glad.
For otherwise she would be going
home with John and Margaret.
"My sister-in-law was hysterics! with
fright," said Amy, laughing aud half -crying
together, and almost hysterical her
self. "And my brother took her home.
He told me to come, but I "
"Your brother!" said Mr. Oakes.
-Yes."
."And your sister-in-law;"
"Why, yes.
"But" I haven't seen them!" he ex
postulated. "But you havenl called on mc, '' Amy
retorted, shyly.
"And I thought you were here alone,"
he declared.
"But I'm not," she replied, wonder
ing. The schoolmaster stopped short aud
faced her.

"is it possible that that child is your j

"I see," said the schoolmaster, slowly.
"Do you know," he added, gaziug down
upon her, "that it has worried tne ever
so much? Somehow I didn't like to
think of your being a widow. I liked
you," said the schoolmaster, rathct
breathlessly. "I liked you right away.

man, laughing as he looked down upon
her.

the rosc-houquet had her pretty face

. But he knew later. The summer was
long, aud the Chirks' front porch and

To Cross (lie Atlantic in a Balloon.
According to the Philadelphia En
quirer, Charles P. Fest, of Germantowu,
has spent a lifetime in trying to solve the
problem of aerial navigation, having
during the past forty years experimented
with over 130 bulloonists. Ho believes
that his hopes are now nbout to be real
ized in this particular direction, having
recently invented ami constructed n new
device, which he thinks will meet with
all the requirements. The invention is
entirely the work of his own brain and
hands. The balloon, while (littering in
minor points of construction and shape is
essentially an ordinary bag such as is
commonly used for gas inflation. In ad
dition there is a device consisting of a
network of cords, arranged with a view
of collajisiug the bag when the internal
pressure is lowered. The cutirc weight
is suspeuded from the lower ends of the
cords, which are all united outside the
summit of the balloon. Arranged around
the horizontal equator at proper distances
are a number of conical orifices, which
may be opened or closed at pleasure, and
from which hot nir is expelled, with a
view of directing the aerial machine in
the desired course. Within the cone is a
spiral projection to cause the issuing hot
air to assume a rotary direction.
The heating or motive jxiwcr is pro
duced by a flame, created by tho burning
of gasoline contained in cans on the out
side of the hoop. Small pipes running
from these receptacles connect with a
larger pipe, which is attached to the per
pendicular pie running through the
centre of the balloon. The flame is in
creased or decreased by a slight turn of
a spiggot, aud herein lies one of the
principal features of the air ship.
The steering device consists of two
wings, bisecting each other in the center
at. right angles, and arranged upon the
same movable axis, so that tho rudder
may be placed in any desired position to
assist iu directing the course of the
ship.
Mr. Fest has mado a balloon contain
ing the above devices which he has
named "The Phienix." It is constructed
of manilla paper nnd is ten feet in di
ameter. When inflated it will con
tain 523 cubic feet of hot air. It
is the intention of the inventor
to set it free the first evening that
the weather is comparatively niild. His
name and address is printed on tho cans
and woodwork of the ballon in several
pluces, so that if any one secures the air
ship after it descends the inventor can be
notified of its locntion.
The inventor, now feeling confident
that he has accomplished the object of
Ids life, which was secured only by great
erseverance, patience and the loss of
over $7000 iu the way of experiments on
his hobby, will make preparations to send
up his hianimoth air-ship "Susanna
Elisabeth," named after his wife, which
is expected to cross the ocean in thirty
six hours.
Ail Astonishing Thirst.
One of the stoutest men in New Eng
land some time ago was 'Squire Ball,
who weighed 300 pounds. The 'squire
had one peculiarity, and that was a re
markable thirst, of a still larger propor
tion than his body. He could not pass
a p-imp, well or spring without stopping
and partaking copiously. Once when
out driving iu his buggy, lie met u
country friend opposite a well where
teums were accustomed to stop for water.
His friend, at his request, tilled a rather
dilapidated bucket, which stood at
hand, and passed it tip to him. Tho
I seams of the bucket was n little leaky,
but the 'Squire was very thirsty, so hu
took it eagerly and set to work drinking.
As pint after pint of tho liquid disap
peared the friend stared open-eyed, but
still the 'squire drank on until, with a
hearty sigh of satisfaction, he handed it
buck empty. The friend, who either
thought that a man who could drink
such an immense amount at ime time
must have an unlimited capacity, or else
misinterpreted the sigh, said urgently :
"Have 'uother pailful, 'squire? You
didn't git niore'o half on't into yer."

THE CASA GRANDE RUINS.
RELICS OF
AN ANCIENT
ARIZONA.
RACE IN
A Givr.t Honim That At as In Ruins
Hundreds of Year Aaro A Kino;'
l'nlnce. '
Special Agent Monison, who was sent
by the United States Interior Department
to examine into the condition oi tne ruins
in Pinal County, Arizona, in ni report
says that these venerable relic Of prehis
toric America stand in a great undulating
plain, nbout midway between the station
of Casa Grande and Florence, seven or
eight miles from the Gila River. He
says that the front of the main building
measures sixty-six feet, and the width
forty-three feet. The height of the first
story is thirteen feet, the second uinc
feet, mid the third and fourth stories
eight feet each. The greater part of the
upper story has disappeared. The walls
arc' between four and five feet thick, and
the material of which they are constructed
is almost indestructible concrete made of
fine gravel, sand and cement, closely re
sembling the granolithic now used jn
Washington.
This was laid iu .lie walls iu great
blocks. One of these measured seven feet
three inches in length, four feet three
inches iu width, and two feet six inches
in height. The walls both inside and out
wero plastered with cement which yet
clings to them with wonderful tenacity,
that on the iuside being as smooth and
glossy as the best hard finished interiors
of the present day. All of the rooms, of
which there are four now intact, are of a
uniform buff color which is very pleasing
to the eye. The largest of these rooms is
thirty-four by nine feet. The extreme
height of the "building is nearly forty feet.
The lower story is filled up with crumb
ling debris and the drifting sand of the
plain to the height of thirteen or fourteen
I feet. The holes in which the celling
timbers were placed are plainly visible,
but every particle of wood has beeu car
ried away by relic hunters, nnd the disin
tegration of the walls has been so rapm
of late years that if measures are not im
mediately taken to strengthen them the
entire mass will soon fall into a shapeless
ruin.
The report says that for miles around
the mysterious Casa Grande many great
mounds, now hardly distinguishable from
the desert sands, bear indisputable evi
dence of having been at some fur remote
period, the abode of busy industries. Mr.
Morrison says he is convinced that the
Casa Grande was not used either for re
ligious or warlike purposes. The su
periority of its architecture, it having out
lived all the other structures by which it
was surrounded, the numerous small
apartments into which it was divided,
ami the elegance of the interior finish, all
point to the conclusion that it was the
nalaee of the king, or chief, who governed
I ... . n . . ......
the primitive Americans who inhabited
these vast domains ages before Astec or
Toltec.
The most ancient of the traditions of
the Pima and Papagoes, who yet live
hare where their fathers have lived for
centuries, allude to them as "the ruins."
The earliest historic records we have of
Casa Grande was given by the famous
Spanish cavalier and explorer, Cabezade
Baca, who discovered it. during his jour
ney across the continent about 15,'!7. A
few years later the famous explorer, Don
Francisco lc Coronado, Governor of New
Galicia, who led an expedition into New
Mexico, describes tho ruins as being four
stories high, with walls six feet in thick
ness. As a proof of its great antiquity
he says the Pima Indians then, 350 years
ago, had no knowledge of the origin. or
history of the town which had existed
there. It had always been a ruin to them
and to their ancestors.
Fathers King and Mauge, who visited
the place iu 169-1, found tho remains of
the great edifice. They also gave an ac
count of twelve other ruins in the vi
cinity. Father Pedro Fout, in 1777,
found them in much the same condition.
He describes the main building a an
oblong square facing the cardinal points
of the compass. The exterior wall ex
tended from north to south 420 feet
aud from east to west 2H0 feet. "We
thus see," says Mr. Morrison, "what
havoc the storms of 110 years have
made and the necessity for immediate
action to save the remnant from com
plete destruction." The ruin are re
garded as one of the most interesting re
mains of the prehistoric nge to be found
on this continent.
Hecenilants of Bread Makers.
Our lhikers, rays an English paper,
speaking of family names, may lw readily
turned back to their floury-handed an
resters, but the Baxters must be followed
for generations before we find they were
of the same family; being the defendants
of the Bagsters, who were the offspring
of the Bagesters, who acknowledged that
they were the children of the Bakestcrs,
who were feuienine bakers. Of the
bread making tribe were also the Pread
ers and the Wiiitbrcds, the latter perhaps
once priding themselves on the color of
their stock iu trade, while marly related
to them were Mills, the Millers and the
Mealers.
The large und resjM-ctablo family of
Boulaugcrs came from the French bakers,
who carried on their trade in England
during the age when family names were
growing, while Mr. Lowe suggest that
tl-.e Bellingers and the Bulliuers are of
the same origin.
Few points iu Great Britain are more
than a hundred miles from the sea, and
iu all ages fish has formed one of the
staple articles of British diet. Catching
the fish was, therefore, un important in
dustry, and Fish, Fisher and Fisherman,
doubtless had their origin in the occu
pation the men who first assumed these
nanus, of which fact there is abundant
iceord It is quite possible ulso, as Mat
Mallei- suggests, that nun may have
