Tnc plans for the Catholic Summer School grounds and buildings, as shown by the drawings of the architect, M. A. Diaz, Marion Block, include an audi torum about 100 by 140 feet, with a central dome and square observation towers about 80 feet high, facing on Lake Cham plain, and a park 400 feet wide running west, across the highway and both railroad tracks With streets running at right angles to it. Tbe auditorium will bave a balcony and dress circle, and will scat about 1,9(10 persons, with a very large platform. An elegant hotel on the Bluff is also projected, with accommodations for several hundred guests. A lively season for building at CI iff Haven may be safely anticipated to commence with the opening of spring.

j TUB question whether monkeys bave a language of their own is wbat Prof.

, Garner is trying to settle. He has been in Monkey-land, Africa, for the last few

: months, whither he took a stout iron cage and for 101 days he says be bas occupied that cage iu tbe heart of an African for­est. His habit was to lock himself into tbe cage, for safety, and when tbe apes came around he would attempt to open conversation by making sounds which be bad already learned from monkeys in this country and there. He also bad a phono­graph with which be recorded tbe sounds of the apes, and be claims that he bas es­tablished the fact that our alleged ances­tors bave a language of their own. l ie returned to Liverpoo', Nov. 14, bringing two chi inpanzees, with which (or rather, whom) be claims to be able to talk.

School is running very satisfactorily with Mr. Robertson in charge. The room is already crowded, and new students are presenting themselves every week. Our facilities are tbe be*t, and Plaltsburgh is a central point of a large territory which is not supplied with a similar school. We can give as good a training for business as any of the city schools which advertise so much.

One of tbe most difficult questions for tbe thoughtful progressive teacher to answer, is. "From what aball oar classes read ?" This we tbiuk was satisfactorily answered when tbe pupils of the Grammtr School were recently requested to fnraUh themselves with new resdiag books. As a result of this request, three of tbe class­ics, Scott's Lady of tbe Lake, Dickens's Carol and tbe Chimes, and Franklin's Autobiography were added to the books already in use. Supplementary reading, with a copy or two in the class, may do, occasionally, but nothing c*n be so satis­factory, and produce as good results, as a copy of tbe book in the bands of each pu­pil. This is a move in tbe right direction, and one that receives tbe sanction of tbe best educators in this and oth jr States.

Over fifty Navajo Indians were hunting and slaughtering game near Cortez, Col., early last week, and.toe settlers were un­able to drive them back to their reierva-tion.

Recent discoveries in Egypt and Cbal-dea, says Mr. Boscawen, indicate that, although tbe monuments there carry us back about 5,000 years before tbe Chris­tian era, tbey do not constitute tbe limit of our sources of history.

Tbe old Babylonian civiliz ttion and Chi­nese civilization both came probably from this region, and it m »y yield us knowl­edge of iim±s far earlier tban any that we yet know of.

CMCEMIM CHIIS THAI TNIMI. N«W When Veiis are so universally worn,

a veil-holder is a real necessity, "it mav be simply a piece of silk lined and softly wadded, the end* folding over t j make pockets, like the r/.-irmtive and mobf eon-venient handkerchief rum. Or it may bs a large envelope of Jiuen with a stiff back, embroidered, or drawn or run with rib­bons. A veil-bov however is really more convenient beaides teeping the veils bet­ter. A pretty one is twe! re inches lem^, nioe wide, and two d.-ep. Tbe eiutsieie U pale pink and green fi owered silk and n«-ettea of pink and green love-ribbon are ai each corner. It is wadded ami perfumeel with orris and violet, and lineal wuh pmK. The cover is flat with the figured silk on the outside and tbe plain lining, and the edge is finished with a pink cord. Tiicre is a rosette of the pink aud green ul.luii on top.

For an invalid few things could give-more satisfaction than the right kind of » screen; one with a shelf for books and work and a portfe>lio for pictures, and books, and lots of other usefulnesses. Such a screen wants a heavy frame and a subsUntial cover, and the hingejs set in H<> there are no cracks for draughts, A pret­ty idea for a screen is to have a lattie-.; at the top.
