Success
The Fifth Avenues got one out of the
three games bowled at the Elics' bowl
ing alley l<st Saturday evening, giving
them a load of four to two over the In
viacibles,and with only three games to
bowi to terminato the contest.the Fifth
Avenues are confident of victory.
There was a large attendance of spec
tators at the alleys, both ladies and
gentlemen, and there was much enthu
siasm >>nd gooi natured rooting. This
is especially true of the last game whan
the Hiks' brass banJ turned out and
probably cheered the Fiftt Avenues to
victory in this g?.me.
F. C. Flaharty made th? highest

ill The Co-ed System |
I Miss Rose Harding wa? trying tc
beat the three It's into tlie bwUs of the
Ignorant in a small schoolhoiise located
In the midst of a sheep rnucuig country
In the far west. Miss FLifdiug was
the daughter of those whs had been
wealthy in the east. He* father had
died insolvent, but, fortaeately fer
Rose, he had given her a eoliege educa
tion. The laws of ?upply wd demand
work the same in edueMJoa as aay
where else. Where there Is the most
Ignorance there is the gra-itest need
for teachers. At any rati. Miss Hard
in? received an offer In Montana and
accepted it. She was scrv?!$eil to Cud
her scholars of mixed a?ts, ranging
from ten to twenty-sir yea.*# old. But
she had no difficulty iu aKMaglng her
Classes, for the oldest -choi^r knew no
more than the youngest. )>'ut it was
hartl work. Rose had tairsJ prizes iu
college and was fitted ??> instruct
young people of advanced vholastlc at
tainments in the seiesi.v-i.
One morning w hile ill- vas trying to
teach her scholars how to j-jjoII "yacht"
and such other wonis In i'ue English
language us arc sijeSed farthest
from their sound a shewp herder rode
up to the school house iloo_- and asted
If any one had seen a ftock of sheep
In the neighborhood. Miss Harding
put the question to her scholars, and
all answered in the negative. While
this was beinir done the sheep herder
was regaling his eyes with the sight
of the refined and comely Miss Hard
ing. Such a sight, especially at that
time, was not usually to be had In that
region, and the herder evidently did
not propose to let the opportunity slip.
"Say. miss." he said, "do you think
you could drive any larnln" into my
noddle':"
The teacher fookeu at him scrutiaiz
Ingly. He did not look at all stupid,
though he might not even know his
letters.
"That would depend upon what help
you would give me in the matter."
The young man threw himself from
his horse and. hanging the reins to a
hook screwed to the cabin f ir the pur
pose. went in and took position in the
spelling class."
"Fire away, schoolmurm," he said.
"Spell the word salt,"
"S-o-l-t."
"Try again."
"S-o u-l-t."
"Try again."
??S-a-u-l-t."
"Once more."
"S-a-w 1-t."
tOriginal. 1
There was a smile on toe leaeners
face. Although her new scholar was
evidently more unteacbable than any
of her other scholars the lines of bis
face were entirely unlike theirs. There
was something incongruous in bis ig
norance and bis physiognomy.
Teacher." said a gawk of twenty
three. "I kin tell yon how to larn him
how to spell it. Tell him if be gets it
right next time be kin k'ss the purryest
g-.il in the room."
There was a shout of approval of
this proposition. but Miss Harding de
murred. However, since her si-bolars
would have it so. assuming that "the
pnrtyest im !" meant thise among the
scholars s!ie reluctantly consented.
"Very well." -he said, "try again."
"S-a-l-t." snappe.J, the herder and ad
Ttnced to t . :<? hi- reward of the teneh
er. r.lu<hin(t a rosy red. she ordered
hiru back, telling hint that si e was not
includi-d. There was an uproar among
the scholars and much pouting among
the girls, fur t !.?? herder, since he could
not kiss tin- teacher, would kiss none
of them.
"You have struck a vital principle in
i pedagogy." said Miss Harding to the
herder. There was a twinkle in her
eye. Perhaps it came from a sus
picion that l?- knew how to spell the
word salt from the beginnii i. "Some
day yon may be a teacher yourself and
can Introduce your stimulant among
the co-eds."
The herder looked at be- scrutiuiz
lngly. as if he suspected si me covert
meaning in her remark.
""What's co-eds'/" he asked.
"I once listened to a very interesting
lecture on the subject by a young pro
fessor. Lamed Eton. When you learn
to read I'll give you a copy 'if it taken
from a magazine in which it was pub
lished."
This, especially the mention of the
name Larned Eton, had a marked ef
fect upon the herder. Her words
"when you learn to read" were spoken
In a satirical tone. Even the thick
haaded scholars got an idea that there
was some game going on between their
teacher end the herder. Drooling his
western way of speaking, the latter
said:
"I fear the plan would not be allow
ed in the co-ed system of the n.ore cm
Ten tional east."
"I marvel." she replied, "that one
who cannot spell a word of one sylla
ble should know the meaning of a
word of two? co-ed."
"I don't. 1 once thought I understood
the word co-ed. hut lately 1 have con
cluded that my principles were entire
ly wrong. I have today discovered that
the college you attended was altogeth
er too near the one" ?
"You attended."
"I surrender. Your presence in that
audience has spoiled my little game."
"I knew you the moment you rode up
to the door, professor. How came you
to leave a field in which you were cal
I culated to shine to take up sheep rais
ing?"
| "My mother is at the ranch. She will
| call on you, and when you visit us I
! will tell you."
! And, mounting bis horse he rode
; away, leaving the gaping scholars in a
I itate of wonder.

THE AIR WE BREATHE.
da Artnce of On* Cable Font Con,

"Man wants but little hew below" it
ia axiom whlcfc applies markedly t?
the quantity of air which is necessary
to support life. It is estimated that
when a man Is at rest he eousuiues 0O0
cubie Inches of air every minute, an al
lowance which At the first glance ay
pears large.
It is. however, absurdly small whe?
we consider tliat at this rate of con
sumption it would take a man 5 dayt '
and !)'/{? hours to exhaust the air in a |
; small room 15 feet square and 10 teui
: nigh.
I Any form of exertion, however, great j
iy Increases the consumption of air. j
Thus if we saunter at two tui)e? as
hour we require Just twice as much ait j
aa when sitting in our armchair, and j
at four miles an hour nothing lefts thar i
2,300 cubic inches will satisfy us.
Taking an average consumption j
throughout life of one cubic foot of all j
every two minutes, we reach some very
interesting conclusions. Thus an hour*!
?>upp'?v of air could be contained in ?
trunk 5 feet long. 3 feet wide and i
*?et deep.
In a day we should e--.haust a sraab
roomful, 10 feet long, 7 feet wide am' i
10 feet high.
For a year's supply we should requlrt j
a reservoir or hall 100 feet square ami j
a shade over feet high, and tho sup- |
ply for a long life of 80 years would b?
contained in a large hall l.uoo feet
long. 500 feet wide and 42 feet high.

Once I failed these seas, where ar?
the cannibals, with a corf uient cap
tain. Whenever a chief euuie ou board
the first thing he was sure to admin;
was the proportions of our gal Ian*, tar,
and the ehicf would feel him and
smack his own lips and turn up hii
own eyes at the prospect of so mucl
fatness? going to waste, as one nw.j
say. These attentions our skipper verj
much disliked.
Well, one day both boats were at>
?ent trading, and it fell suddenly calm.
"The old man" (the forecastle name foi.
a skipper) and self were the onlj
whites ou board. The stroug currents
caught the vessel and carried her on ]
to the rocks, and we could get no bot- j
torn a hundred yards from the shore.
The underflow from the waves kept
ber from striking. The natives gath- '
ered on the ciiffs, as ravens to a car
cass, waiting for the catastrophe. I
took off all my clothes, and we waited
and waited for some two hours, the
natives recognizing the captain and
telling him plainly they would eat hltn
at last.
The strain ou our nerves may be
Imagined. At last the captain's gave
way. "Ooodby, C5 . old fellow," he
| said. "Those beasts will have me in
| the ovens at once. You may escape?
you are thin. If you see my old girl
ognlu. tell her I was thinking of her
I at the last." This was said with a
r gulp and a quiver in the voice. But
i Just then the two boats came round
I the point, having at last heard our
stern guns, and we were saved.?

I written: "1 have learned in tuy Iout 1
j life two rule* of prudence. Tlv first is
I to forgive imicli: the second is never- to I
forget." I'nder this Thiers h i 1 said. ,
"A little forgetting would not detract |
from the sincerity of the forgiveness." I
Prince Bismarck added. "As for me. 1

Renting h Model.
Many artists have the reputation oi [
being inexorable iu their demands up- !
on the model's strength. A character j
istic example appears iu an anecdote '
of the late Adolphe Mauzcl. the Cer
man painter, who at one time was en
gaged on a work of mural decoration
and kept a man posril in an exceeding
ly fatiguing position on a scaffold t'oi
two hours. The great painter worked
away, heedless of his model's discom
fort. Finally the victim called dowa
"Ilerr Professor, how about the re
cess'/" ,
"Certainly, my dear sir. Come down
right away, and you shall have youi
recess."
As the model was descending fron j
the scaffolding his limbs assumed t
position which was one for which the
artist had long been looking.
"Stop:" Menzel thundered. "Hold'
All. fine! Keep that while I make a
little sketch of it!"
j The artist drew vigorously for hall
an hour, at the- end of which he called
out Imperatively: "There, that will di
for now. Get up on the scaffold again
We have had our recess."
