PROGRAM FOR SCHOOLS. ARRANGEMENT OF EXERCISES FOR COLUMBUS DAY. Prepared by the National Executive Committee ol the Educational Superintendents for the Columbian Public School Observance on October 21. The Official Programme. Following the recommendations in President Harrison’s proclamation, that the public schools of the country appropriately observe Columbus day, the superintendents of education have Instructed their executive committee to prepare an official programme of exercises to be used in every school in America on Columbus day, simultaneously with the dedicatory exercises in Chicago. The following is the programme prepared: The schools should assemble at 9 a. m. In their various rooms. At 9:30 the detail of veterans is expected to arrive. It is to be met at the entrance of the yard by the color guard of pupils, escorted with dignity to the building ana presented to the principal. The principal then gives the signal, and the several teachers conduct their pupils to the yard, to drumbeat or other music, and arrange them in hollow square about the flag, the veterans and color guard taking places by the flag itself. The master of ceremonies then gives the command, "Attention!” and begins the exercises by reading the proclamation. 1. Reading of the President's proclamation. By the master of ceremonies. At the close of the reading he announces, “In accordance with this recommendation by the President of the United Staßes, and as a sign of our devotion to our country, let the flag of the nation be unfurled above this school.” 2. Raising of the flag. By the veterans. As the flag reaches the masthead the veterans will lead the assemblage in “Three Cheers for ‘Old Glory.’ ”

3. Salute to the flag. By the pupils. At a signal from the principal the pupils, in ordered ranks, hands to the side, face the flag. Another signal is given; every pupil gives the flag the military salute—right hand lifted, palm downward, to a line with the forehead and close to it. Standing thus all repeat together slowly, “I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” At the words “to my flag” the right hand is extended gracefully, palm upward, toward the flag, and remains in this gesture till the end of the affirmation, whereupon all hands immediately drop to the side. Then, still standing, as the instruments strike a chord, all will sing “America”—“My country, 'tis of thee.” 4. Acknowledgment of God. Prayer or Scripture. 5. Song of Columbus day. By pupils and audience. G. Address. “The Meaning of the Four Centuries.” A declamation of the special address prepared for the occasion by the Youth’s Companion. 7. Ode. “Columbia’s Banner." A reading of the poem written for the occasion by Edna Dean Proctor. Here should follow whatever additional exercises, patriotic recitations, historic representations or chorals may be desired. 8. Address by citizens and national songs. COLUMBUS DAY ADDRESS. Prepared by the Youth’s Companion for Delivery in the Schools. The following is the address, “Tho Meaning of tho Four Centuries,” prepared by the Youth’s Companion for use in connection with the above programme: The spectacle America presents this day is without precedent in history. From ocean to ocean—in city, village, and countryside—the children of the States are marshaled and matching under the banner of the nation, and with them the people are gathering around the school house. Men are recognizing to-day thr most imprimxivo anniversary since •Romo celebrated her thousandth yeqr —the 400th anniversary of the stepping of a hemisphere into tho world’s life; four complete centuries of a new social order; the celebration of liberty and enlightenment organized into a civilization. And while during these hours tho Federal Government of these United States strikes the keynote of this great American day that gives honor to the common American institution which unites us all, we assemble here that we, too, may exalt the free school that embodies the American principle of universal enlightenment and equality, the most characteristic product of the four centuries of American life. Four hundred years ago this m irning the Pinta’s gun broke the silence and announced the discovery of this hemisphere. It was a virgin world. Human life hitherto upon it had been without significance. In the old world for thousands of years civilized men had been trying experiments in social order. They had been found wanting. But here was an untouched soil that lay ready for a new experiment in qivilzution. All things were ready. New forces had come to light full of ove - turning power in the old world. In the new world they were to work together with a mighty harmony. It was for Columbus, propelled by this fresh life, to reveal the land where these new forces were to be given space for development, and whore the awaited trial of the new civilization was to be made. To-day we reach our most memorable milestone. We look backward and we look forward. Backward we see the first mustering of modern ideas; their long conflict with old world theories, which were also transported hither. We see the stalwart men and brave women one moment on the shore, then disappearing in dim forests. We hear the ax. We see the flame of burning cabins and hear the cry of the savage. We see the never ceasing wagon train always toiling westward. We behold log cabins becoming villages, then cities. We watch the growth of institutions out of little beginnings —schools becoming an educational system; meeting houses leading up to organic Christianity; town meetings growing to political movements; county discussions developing federal governments. We see hardy men with intense convictions, grappling, struggling, often amid battle smoke, and some idea characteristic of the new world always triumphing. We see settlements knitting together into a nation with singlenese of purpose. We note the birth of the modern system of industry and commerce and its striking forth into undreamed of wealth, making the millions members one of another as sentiment could never bind. And under it all, and through it all, we fasten on certain principles ever operating and regnant—the leadership of manhood; equal rights for every soul; universal enlightenment as the source of progress. These last are the principles that have shaped America; these principles are the true Americanism. We look forward. We are conscious we are in a period of transition. Ideas in education, in political economy, in social science are undergoing revisions. There is a large uncertainty about the outcome. But faith in the underlying principles of Americanism and in God’s destiny for tho republic makes a firm ground of hope. The coming century

promises to be more than ever the age of the people—an age that shall develop a greater care for the rights of the weak and make a more solid provision for the development of each individual by the education that meets his need. As no prophet among our fathers on the 309th anniversary of America could have pictured what the new centurjwould do, so no man can this day reach out and grasp the 100 years upon which the nation is now entering. On the victorious results of the completed centuries the principles of Americanism will build our fifth century. Its material progress is beyond our conception, but we may be sure that in the social relations of men with men the most triumphant gains are to be expected. America’s fourth century has been glorious; America’s fifth century must be made happy. One institution more than another has wrought out tho achievement of the past, and is to-day most trusted for the future. Our fathtrs in their wisdom knew that the foundations of liberty, fraternity and equality must be universal education. The free school, therefore, was conceived the cornerstone of the republic. AV ashington and Jefferson recognized that the education of citizens is not the prerogative of j church or of other private interest; I that while rel gious training belongs to ! the church, and while technical and higher culture may bo given by private institutions, the training of citizens in the common knowledge and the common duties of citizenship belongs irrevocably to the state. We therefore on this anniversary of America present the public schools as the proudest expression of the principle | of enlightenment which Columbus grasped by faith. We uplift the system ; of free and universal education as the master force which under God has been informing each of our generations with the peculiar truths of Americanism. America therefore gathers her sons around the school house to-day as the institution closest to the people, most characteristic of the people, and fullest of hope for the people. To-day America’s fifth century begins. Tho world’s twentieth century will soon be here. To the thirteen millions now in the American schools the command of the coming years belongs. We, the youth of America, who" to-day unite to march as one army under the sacred flag, understand our duty. We pledge ourselves that the flag shall not be sta ned, and that America shall mean equal opportunity an 1 justice for every citizen and brotherhood for the world. Sung lor Columbus’ Day.

The I Oman Emperor Maximian was the son of a comm m soldier. Demosthenes was the son of a swordmaker and blacksmith. The father of Sir Robert Peel, the statesman, was a day laborer.

An advertisement' appeared recently in a French paper, i to the effect that a widow, aged' 28, herself in independent circum-, stances, wished to meet with a suit- i able young man, etc. Several candidates for matrimony were attracted by the announcement, and there were the usual preliminary inquiries, and i ultimately the interview. The lady treated her different admirers in ■ different ways, but in each case gave i proof of her income, and seemed anx-' ions for the ceremony of marriage. ; She was used to English ways, and liked to receive an engagement' ring before the hoop of plain gold, j and this predilection for the English ! fashion she explained to each of her j fiances. They all yielded to the En-1 glish fashion, and presented rings of i varying value, two of them 4,000 and 3,500 francs respectively for their presents. Owing to her persistent delay, one of the dupes brought action against her. This revelation caused a whole string of bethrothed ones 'to put in their claims, so the dashing widow was summoned to court.

Just What Is Wanted. Business Is alive to a great coming event, and In the hurly-burly of Its preparations for the Columbian Exposition in 1893, too much is already seen on the streets of a fanciful or amusing nature, both superficial and catch-penny. There has been observed a void In the line of the strictly useful, combining therewith Instructive object lessons and tho beautiful In art. Books there may be by the score, but the experience of the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia shows that the mass of these were mere trifles and unserviceable. The horde of visitors were i ever at a loss for a handy pocket guide of official stamp, not only reliable but j pleasing and always fit to keep Just what j Is wanted of this unique kind has happily already made Its appearance, and we have i before us “The Official Portfolio of ! the World’s Columbian Exposition,” 11- I lustrated from Water Color Drawings. This Portfolio is a rare and beautiful exponent of tho main architectural features of the Great Exposition at Chicago in 1893, The fourteen magnificent structures are faithfully exhibited, while the Bird’s-eye View gives a realistic glanca at the lay of the grounds, with their principal buildings, lagoons, etc. The Illustrations are exact reproductions, in water color effects, of the original drawings, made especially for this purpose from the official plans, by America’s best known water color artist, Charles Graham. The pictures, therefore, arc not only official but they are genuine works of art, and competent critics pronounce them to be equal to tho finest productions of a similar kind of the famous art centers of Europa It Is simply wonderful how such perfection In art, accompanied by full descriptive matter, can be served to the Groat Public in so cheap and handy a form. But a copy of this exceptionally fine production will bo sent to any address upon receipt of 10 cents in postage stamps by The Charles A Vogeler Co., Baltimore, Md. • Was Cruelly In the Love Charm. Two young girls were cited before the local Bezirksgericht in Ottakring a few days ago on the charge of cruelty to animals. They were both scarcely 16 years old, yet each had her lover. In order to secure the affection of these young men to them until the end of their dqys the girls resolved to carry out a love charm which is guaranteed to be effectual for that purpose by a “Zauber und Wunschbuchlein,” printed as long ago as 1706, and still regarded as an infallible helper. The “prescription,” which is in old German rhyme, and probably a great deal older than •1706, runs as follows, roughly translated: Would’st thou have thy sweetheart true? Give him cat's eyes 1’ his wine. Thou thyself must pluck the eyes out; Twelve weeks old must the cat ba At midnight by light of the full moon Thou must burn the eyes to a powder; Put the dust into his wine and say, “Cat’s eyes, cat’s eyes, never look with love at another, Keep thine eyes ever for me alone!” Do this and he will be eternally true. In order to carry out this hideous superstition the young girls took two kittens belonging to a Frau Helm, dug out the eyes of the poor little beasts and then prepared their love powder. I he I>ouble. Two students went out near Paris with only one shooting license between them. All went on merrily till the garde c ampetre (municipal gamekeeper, who looks after the enfenced .fields of tho villagers) hove In sight. Ono of the frion is instantly bolted as hard as he could, the official, of course, 'after him. When the gamekeeper at hast came up with the iugitive. he deand tiTiTsh Ja tone as his want of breath would alKow. “Here it is,” replied the student, producing the document. “You with a .permit?” exclaimed tho irate keener. "Then, why tho deuce did you give me such a chase?” “Why the deuce did you run after mo?” said the other. Tho friend, who was shooting without a license, had, meanwhile, got away. Hand and Horse. Tho American farmer is usually an opponent of performing any kind of work with the hand that can be done with a horse. He will not use a hoe if he can use a cultivator. His position Is correct, according to tho American system of farming, yet the largest proportionate crops and greatest profits from tho soil are secured by those who work small areas by hand, much depending, however, on the kind of crop grown. In Surgery, A recently invented surgical instrument consists of a hard rubber tube, inclosing a number of small wires, which !s designed to be attached to the tip cf the finger. It is for use in internal operations, and is intended to transmit substantially the same sensations to the operator’s finger tip that he would experience if his finger were actually present where the device is and in contact with the same surfaces. Train Loaded with Stove Polish. Last week, Messrs. Morse Bros., of Canton, Mass., proprietors of the well-kno.vn Rising Sun Stove Polish, filled orders from two customers In the West for twentythree car loads of stove polish. As each car contained 400 gross, weighing fifteen tons, the shipment to these two houses was 9,200 gross, or 345 tons.

An Insect Terrow. A strange spider, it is reported, has appeared in great numbers in the lowlands and valleys about Hermosillo, Mexico, and is giving the natives great alarm. It is peculiarly ferocious and manifests no fear of anything, not hesitating to give chase to men who disturb it. It is considerably larger than the tarantula, common in those regions, and is terribly poisonous. Three deaths have been lately reported from its bite. It is a hairy insect and has legs as large as a pipe stem. It runs with remarkable agility, and climbs the stick or whip toward the hand of any one who strikes at it. It is a newcomer to the section, and so far do one has been found who has seen it before. One of I the deaths was that of a Mexican who was riding along and saw one of the spiders. He struck at it with his whip, and before he could drop the whip the spider was at his hand and had bitten him. He died within three hours in great agony. The spiders hop along the ground in great leaps toward th^ object of their attack. Dynamite. Those who have never seen the much talked-of dynamite explosive will be interested to know that it looks very much like moist brown sugar. Nitro-glycerine, which is fermed by the action of nitric acid by glycerine, at a low temperature, is the active agent in dynamite, but is mixed with some absorbent substance to render it safer to handle than the liquid glycerine. The absorbent material thus used is a siliclous earth—a fine white powder composed of the remains of infusoria, and resembling powdered chalk; this takes up two or three times its weight of the nitro-glycerine, without becoming pasty, and the ingredients are easily mixed, leaden vessels and woo len spoons being used to avoid dangerous friction. When flame is applied to this mass it burns with a strong blaze, without any explosion; but when ignited by a detonating fuse, or even by a sudden blow, its explosive force is tremendous.
