An Indian Ivgreiwl of the I'asi-HKoulai Is told by 'tl flslu'ruit'ii and ojster uit'ii down on tin- shortu of (lit gulf of Mexico. A point reaches out Into the gulf -neur tho nioulh of the PnscnKoula riv er. The pine lives on It come nlmost to the water's edge, and between lie" a strip "of white Baud; across a marsh, a border of light green swaying and rustling grasses and beyoud u gray cypress swamp the banging moss of the trees swaying In the wind. To the south the blue waters of the gulf stretch away, with little waves lap ping on the chalk white clam shells of the shore." ' There In the evening during the , short twilight one hears soft music, as If It were the notes of a violin, Insist ent, changing, sweet It Is the song of the Tascagoulas. Long years before the Tascngoula Indians had lived upon this point. The white men, the Spaniards, came In numbers, and with them the hostile warriors of other tribes, to make war and to drive the Pascagoulns out of the country. Coming from the inland, the enemy took away all chance of fight nnd hedged them In on the point. The rascagoiilas fought for days nnd nlfihts In the dark pine woods ngalimt outnumbering foes. Then they saw that all was useless, that they could not overcome, and starvation stared them In the face. The rnscagoulas called a council of the tribe and talked long together. To give themselves up meant lives of slavery or death, and to tight to the last man was to leave the women aud children to the mercy of the white men nnd their allies. The next morning the rnscagoulas put on nil their paint and trappings and burned their wlgwnms. The men. women and children slowly, deliber ately, unflinchingly backed step by step Into the water behind them, sing- : Ing. Not one faltered. They died with ; their faces toward their enemies. brave and free, nnd now In the even ing when the wind blows over the marshes the pines and grasses slug the song of the Pascagoulas. New York Post !

One night John Sharp Williams, while a student at Heidelberg, Ger many, was In attendance upon a swell function at which the guest of honor was a dark skinned princess alleged to hall from one of the south sea Is lands. This princess was magnificent ly bedecked and bejeweled, nnd her warm olive complexion, set off by a mass of black, kinky hair, full red Hps, suow while teeth and black, sparkling eyes, made her the center of the function. The mascullne-Hke Germans swarmed about her like bees around a honeysuckle vine, and even Dutch femininity could not discount the charm of her manner or the beauty of her person. - John Sharp was Introduced, of course, and immediately upon obtain ing a near view, of the princess (?) his southern Instincts rose to the surface and his southern blood begnn to boll. Watching his opportunity, he managed to get to the beauty's elbow. Then, re ducing his voice to a low, but perfect ly audible key, he sent Into her star tled ears this alarming query: "Look here, nigger, where did you come from?" . Panic stricken nnd with nil her self possession scattered, the alleged prin cess turned upon her Interrogator ns she heard the familiar intonation of the southerner and looked Into his un relenting face. Then she stammered: "Fum South Caroliny, boss, but" for de Lawd's sake don't tell It." Whether John Sharp respected the pitiful plea of a southern negress In n faraway land and permitted her to continue her bold Imposition upon the credulous Germans the story does not tell. But the fact remains that the "princess" realized that she as In the presence of one who, from Intimate knowledge of" her race, had divined her African origin, and she could only throw herself on his mercy.

It would seem, dishonor the prisoner or his family. A great many- prisoners were charged as mad, and under this elastic term the violent maniac, the ambitious madman, the young spend thrift, the megalomaniac, the readier for the philosopher's stone or the se cret of perpetual motion all these tiresome persons might be and were Included. How, then, did these prisoners live? In the underground cells or dungeons, as In the cells In the towers, the prison ers were on bread nnd water, as a rule, In the other rooms In the main build ing three meals were served a day, with drinkable wine "vln potable." In cer tain cases, according to the quality nnd distinction of the prisoner, be might supplement the meager furni ture of his prison and get a provision of books. Very favored persons were allowed their own servant if he would consent voluntarily to undergo con finement Voltaire began to write the "Henrlade" as prisoner in the Bastille; Abbe Morellet of the Encyclopedia speaks of the great fortress as the cradle of his fame, but we must re memler that It was perhaps not ad visable to say much about the Bastille when you were still living within Its walls and that, as M. Mouln has re minded us, "the old Spartans offered sacrifices to fear." Prisoners, more over, had to sign on their release an elaborate declaration, by which they swore never to divulge, directly or in directly, anything they might have learned as prisoners concerning the Bastille.

Accord ins; to tbu appropriation rate fixed by the State Department of Pub lic Instruction, hit h schools of the first clai-s will receive (720 from the slate, second class $540, and third class l.'tiiO. Borough high schools will receive somewhat more than half these amounts, according to the respective ol asses, schools of the first class getting $450, second class, (337.50, third class, (225. The maximum amount which may be appropriated to schools of the first class either in townships or boroughs under the law is (800, second class, (450, third class, $400. v The last legislature appropriated (137,600 for township high schools, and appropriated the same amount for borough high ' schools. The Depart ment of Public Instruction, however, finds that the appropriations are not, sufficient to give each school the max imum sum allowed by law, and the pro rata percentage has been fixed In each case. The several high schools are now being classified and distribution of the appropriations will be started as soon as the classifications are finished.' It has been found by the high school in spectors that some of tho schools are not entitled to position in the class claimed by them, and these differences are being straightened out. Schools of the first class, either town Bhlp or borough, are those that have a bona fide four year course aboye the grammar grade, second class, those with h three year course, and third class those with a two-year course.
