Emperor William has been devoting his spare time of late to the designing of a new throne, which is destined for the throne room of the Caffarelle Pal­ ace, the abode of the German embassy at Rome. The throne is elaborately carved In wood, gilded very highly. It spreads out at the base, giving it a sol­ emn and even heavy appearance. The arms are formed of two crouching lions, the high posts at the back termi­ nating in crowned eagles with out­ stretched wings. Between the two there rises a shield surmounted by the imperial crown. The posts are inlaid with mosaic, and the upholstery Is of green silk embroidered with gold. The dais is made of a wonderful em broidered brocade material of great breadth, the whole background being composed of a huge heraldic eagle, beautifully embroidered in gold, bear ing upon its wings a scroll, upon which are the words, "sub umbra alarum tua- rus protege nos." The candelabra stand in front, and are placed In obe­ lisks, the bases of which are of gro­ tesque arched style, the corners formed of wounded dragons in gold, having just been captured by men. The high columns forming the obelisk are sur­ mounted by the helmetted heads of warriors, while snakes twine upward, bearing on their bodies to the summit a broad golden crown. The snakes are also used for the distribution of elec­ tric light, and are of aluminum bronze of the finest and tnost modern art. Save when the Emperor Is staying at Rome at his embassy, where he pro­ poses from henceforth to make his headquarters whenever he visits the Eternal City, this throne will be placed with its face toward the wall so as to prevent any one from desecrating it from seating himself thereon.

More foreign pupils were enrolled this year than at any other time during' the past eight years. The number is about one-fifth of the total enrollment. The school entertainment on Friday evening was a success. Between seven­ teen and eighteen dollars was realized from the sale of tickets, and the children performed their parts creditably. School closes for the summer vacation on Friday evening. The pupils and par­ ents will enjoy a picnic at Pistakee Bay on Tuesday, June 6. It is expected that the teachers and pupils of the Sherman school will join us on that day. Next year Frank Hall's series of arith­ metics will be introduced throughout tbe school. This is a recent publication and thoroughly uptodate.. It is highly recommended by Supt. Wire and he in­ sists upon his teachers throughout the county using Hall's methods. As tbe preface says. "Strict classification is snbordinate to emphatically mental arithmetics. The first five lines in the book introduce the pupil to the five fun­ damental processes. In the lower grades the pupil is made familiar with new terms by means of oral instruction and frequent us» of the terms employed. The arrangements of topics is unique and convenient." Those having old books to exchange for tbe new should leave them with 0. E. Fay before the be­ ginning of the school year. An outline map of tbe IT. 8. has lately been put into the higher room. We be­ lieve that more work can be accom­ plished with better satisfaction to the teachers and with better results to the pupils in one month with the aid of out line maps in teaching outlines of states and countries, location of the rivers and principal cities, than with the ordinary map in three months. I n history they are invaluable aids. Routes taken by explorers may be traced. Different poli­ tical changes the country has undergone may be drawn in. Location of principal battles taken by contending armies, if filled in by the pupils, are indellibly fixed in his m >mory. We may say that they are almost essential in teaching of history.
