Each of the senior classes of the grammar schools held its own exercises Iu this respect commencement the present year differed from last year, when the grammar schools of the borough con solidated and jointly held commence ment ill Y. M C. A. Hall. Last year's arraugement may have had some advantages, among them be ing that it afforded more room for spectators. There are many, however, especially patrons of the schools that desire to attend who seem to prefer that commencement should be held in the grammar schools of the different wards. Each of the rooms Tuesday was ! nicely decorated. They were somewhat crowded, it is trus,but they presented a very attractive aud cheerful appear ance.

CHILDREN'S LONG TRAMP The sympathies of our policemen ami a few other* were stirred yesterday by j au odd escapade ou tho part of three ; ' children, who ran away from their | j home iu Northumberland, j The children left their home about ! ! six o'clock Monday evening, ana ar- ! i rived iu Danville about 8 o'clock yes terday morning, having walked the entire distance. The little runaways consisted of a girl and two boys, the children of Gabriel Wenrich of North- j umberland. The girl—Mary Wenrich —is fourteen years of age. Her broth ere, Herbert and Raymond, are aged, respectively, 11 and 12. J. P. Dunham,a constable of Noith- j umberland, arrived in this citv on the j 2:11 D. L. & W train yesterday after noon and began to look around for the | children. Officer Voris rendered the ; constable all the assistance ho could j and the children were Anally located on Mill street. On the 4:33 D. L. & i W. train they accompanied the const- 1 able back to Northumberland. The little girl was bareheaded, but wore a pair of tan shoes The two ! boys were barefooted and oue had a sore foot, as tho result of the long : tramp. According to their story the chil dren wont to Sunbury after leaving Northumberland au.l then struck out for Danville alorg the river road. They had not gone far before twilight faded into darkness; still they groped , their way along the lonely couutry , roads keeping up their spirits as best they could. Abont ten o'clock without knowing where they were they stopped at a farm house—told their story and were kindly taken in for the night. Bright and early yesterday morning they ie surned their way. They then learned that they were only a couple of iniles from Danville aud easily covered the rest of the distance. The children, of course, tried to justify themselves for running away. It is not necessary to repeat their story, which may or may not be consistent with facts. Their father has been three times married, the mother of the runaway children being the first wife, who died when they were small. The girl explained to Officer Voris yesterday that she called her brothers to her ou Monday aud told them that she intended to leave. They at once resolved that if she left they would go with her. Arriving in Danville yesterday the children went to the post office where they found out the address of a woman whom they knew. It was at this wo man's home, ou Mill street, where during the afternoon the children were found by the officers. AN INDIAN GREETING. The Salutation a Canadian Heard on tho Columbia River. Telling about the Indians of the Pa cific coast as he found them In IS4O, Paul Kane, the Canadian artist, tried to give au idea of their language as he found it at tbat time. The example which he quous would have delighted Max Muller, audit may interest some readers in this country. In his "Wan derings of an Artist" he seems not to recall any particular Individual of the name of Clark who might have Im pressed the Indians of the Columbia river, but American readers will at once think of the comrade of Major Lewis In the famous expedition of 1803. I would willingly give a specimen ot the barbarous language of this people were it possible to represent by any combination of our alphabet the hor rible. harsh, spluttering sounds which proceed from their throats, apparently unguided either by the tongue or lip. says Mr. Kane, it is so difficult to ac quire a mastery of their language that uoue have been able to attain It ex cept those who have been born anions them. They have, however, by their Inter course with the English and French traders succeeded iu amalgamating after a fashion some words of each of these tongues with their own and in forming a sort of patois, barbarous enough certainly, hut still sufficient to enable them to communicate with the traders. This patois I was enabled after some short time to acquire and could con verse with most of the chiefs with tol erable ease. Their common salutation is "Oak-hob nh-ynh." originating, as 1 believe, in their ancestors having heard In the early days of the fur trade a gentle man named Clark frequently addressed by his friends. "Clark, how are you?" ! This salutation is now applied to ev ery white man.for their own language affords no appropriate expression.— 1 Minneapolis Journal. A Curious Music Box. In the South Kensington museum, In London, is a curious musical boa It was originally the property of Tipu (or Tlppoo) Sahib, the "Tiger of Mysore," who died in 17' JO, being killed during j the British assault and capture of Ser- i ingnpatam, the capital of Mysore. He always hated the British, and to show his enmity he had this instrument con structed. The box is n life sized stat uary group showing the symbolic tiger of India nt the throat of England, rep resented by a British officer. When Tippoo wished to amuse his court one of his attendants turned a handle, when the tiger emitted horrible growls and the man raised and lowered his arms and uttered terrifying shrieks. Instde the tiger are four rows of pipes and a set of ivory keys, which are either of French or British manufacture. No Idle Boast.

Mr. Laumaster's services arc very ! much in demaud. About a week ago he returned from j Keswick colony in New Jersey, where he spent three weeks anil had some unique experiences. The colony is j located in the pine lands of New ' Jersey. It is peopled by men from the large cities—men who have been un fortunate, who belong to the "down and out" class aud who but for just such assistance as is rendered at the colony would never be able to rise again. jl A farm is maintained in connection with the colouy and the men are all supposed to work. While some cut down the piue trees,which are sold in the neighborhood for wood, others cultivate the fields. All the work is done by the "colonists," each select- ! iug the work that he is best fitted for, some doiug the cooking, others tend- i ing the cattle, others ploughing, &c. Twenty-five to liftv men are in the colony. No drink can be obtained within ten miles. The men derive benefit there both physically and spiritually. Re ligious services are held every morn ing among tlie men and at night in t lie chapel for the benefit of the neighbor hood as well as the colonists. Previous to tiie three weeks at Kes wick colouy Mr. Lauiuaster filled an engagement at Cumberland, Md. He expects to be busy pretty much all! summer.

Largo Herd For Canada to Be Driven Over Eighty Miles. The buffalo herd which is corralled near I.amont. in Canada, has wintered well, and since the roundup commenced In Montana last year less than l' L . per cent have been lost. Arrangements are being made to bring up another 300 head. Michael Pablo is getting them together 011 his ranch iu Montana. Pablo has built a fence twenty-three miles long, from the mountains to his home, and the buffaloes are driven along the fence into the corral. I.ast year he had IN"' horses and 03 men on the range for three weeks, but he found this too expensive and has adopted the new plan for get ting the remainder of the herd. The 400 head brought to Canada last year were shipped by freight trains, but several were killed in loading and unloading, and the feeding aud water ing were accomplished under difficul ties. This year an attempt will be made to drive the herd up from Mon tana to Lamont, a distance of more than eighty miles, says a Lamont cor respondent of the New York Post. Im agine an eighty mile drive of -100 wild buffaloes across land. It will be ono of the greatest undertakings in the history of cowpunching. These buffaloes have been fed 011 hay all winter, about seven tons being used daily, but the mild winter made it pos sible for them to forage for themselves. Those in the preserve at Lamont are in the best of condition, and at least a hundred calves are expected during the next few weeks. The government is now calling for tenders for a wire fence around the preserve which will be more than seventy miles long and will cost approximately §BO.OOO. The preserve is so arranged that for eight miles the railroad runs along one side of the park, giving passengers a chance to see the herd, thus adding another attraction to western Canada. This Is now said to lie the largest herd of buffaloes in the world. With the ar rival of the other herd it will be dou bled, and before the end of the year the herd will number close to a thou sand. with a probable net increase of full 2.'i per cent annually. 11 was A BENEDICT John .Maclean Hiucklry, of River side, was married to Miss "label Keys at Elktou, Md., yesterday.

The extent to ■which water mingles with bodies apparently solid is won derful. The glittering opal which beauty wears as an ornament Is only flint and wnter. In every plaster of paris statue which an Italian earrles through our streets for sale these is one pound of water to every four pounds of chalk. Tbe air we breathe contains fire grains of water to eooh cubic foot of its bulk. The potatoes and turnips which are boiled for our dinner hnve In their raw state tbs one 75 per cent and the other 1)0 per cent of water. If a man weighing ten stoDe were squeezed flat in a hydraulic press seven and one-half stoue of water would run out and only two aud one half stone of dry residue remain. A man is. chemically speaking, forty-five pounds of carbon and nitrogen diffused through live and a half pailfuls of water, in plants we find water thus mingling In no less wonderful a man ner. A sunflower evaporates one and a quarter pints of water a day and a cabhnge about the same quantity. A. wheat plant exhales in 172 days about 100.000 grains of water. An acre of growing wheat, on this calculation, draws and passes out about ten tons of water per day. The sap of plants Is the medium through which this mass of fluid Is conveyed. It forms a delicate pump by which the watery particles run with the rapidity of a swift stream. By the action of the sap various prop erties may be communicated to the growing plant. Timber in France is, for instance, dyed by various colors being mixed with water and poured over the root of the tree. Dahlias are also colored by a similar process.—Lon don Tit-Bits.

President Roosevelt late yesterday afternoon had an exceedingly narrow escape from a serious scoldone while liorseback riding in Rock Creek Park. Mrs. Roosevelt WHS with the president and the minors of the ali',ur which gained currency last night were denied at the White House at the time, as neither the president nor Mrs. Roose velt spoke of the ailair upon their re tnrn. The rumors cauie from the occupants of several carriages who saw he accid ent. WAS RIDING NEW HORSE. The president was riding a new horse,a young animal. The party rode down through a cut in a hank, forded a creek and were ascending the hank on the other side. The president's horse reared, the president leaned for ward iu the saddle and threw the reins down iu loops so as to avoid pulling the horse backward. Again on reach ing the top of the bank the horse rear ed a second time, ana the president leaned forward again, but the animal stood up straight on its hind legs and then went over backward into the I creek with the president. SLIPPED FROM SADDLE. Feellug that he was going back ward, ilia president slipped ficm tlie saddle, aud an iuok would have it,fell into the creek close beside the horse, which landed on its back. The horse fell ou the down stream side of the president, wlio, realizing that he would he in danger from the animal's feet should the horse turn towards him,got out of the way as rapidly as possible. The horse, however, turned over from the president and got up. He was cap tured at once, the president remount ed and rode for an iiour and a half be fore returning to the White House. The fall from the horse's back to the stream bed was a distance of more than ten feet. The stream was about two feet deep with an excedingly rooky I bed. Neither the president nor the j horse received the slightest injury. HAS TENDENCY TO REAR, j President Roosevelt's two regular riding horses were out of commission, yesterday, both being indisposed. The president's orderly wished to try out the new horse but the president took it upon himself to do this. He regards the horse he rode as a good one,but be ing young, he has a tendency to rear up ou slight provocation. The president was dressed in khaki, and the fact that he got thoroughly wet did not become apparent to those who saw him a'ter the accident. Sev eral carriages which had crossed the ford just ahead of the president stop ped and the occupants were alarmed at what was happening. The experi ence with its many serious possibilit ies has not dulled the edge of the president's pleasure in riding, and he takes considerable gratification in the test of iiis horsemanship as both times the animal reared he instinctively tlirewhimself forward so that his head was directly beside that of the rearing animal and the reins being thrown looee had no tension whatever to pull the horse backward.
