DER DOM ZU MERSEBURG. Der Merseburger Dom ist einer der interessantesten Kirchen in ganz Deutschland. Es wurde mir geraten ihn zu sehen. Weil es gerade Sonntag war alsich ankam hatte ich gelegenheit dem Gottesdienst bei zu wohnen. Nach der Predigt fuhrte uns ein Diener durch den Bau und zeigte uns viele interessante Reliqien, wovon die meisten aus dem vienzehnt ' en Jahr hundent stammtin. Die Orgel welche 5876 Pfeifen hat ist eine der groszten Europas. Die Pfeifen Konnen aber nicht alle gheischzeitig gespielt werden sonst wurden die Tenster zerspringen. Die sitze in der Kirche wurden im vierzehnten Jahr hundent von Monchen geschnutzt. Dann gingen wir hinunter in die “Gruft” worin die Sarge einer Anzahl verstorbener Bischofe Platz finden. Die Sarge waren aus Bronze gemacht. In einem Glass-schranke hingen einige von Alter zerfallen Kleider. Eins davon war ein Rock den Martin Luther getragen hatte. In einem Glass- Kastchen lay eine ausgetrocknete Hand. Es war die Hand die einem Rivalen Kaiser Heinrich’s des vierten in einem Gefacht bei der stadt abgeschlagen wurde. Als man ihm die Hand zeigte soli Er gesagt haben,” Das ist die Hand mit welcher ich dem Kaiser den eid der Treue leistete.” Im auszerem Schloss-hofe steht ein sehr grosser Vogel-Kafig der wenigstens zehn Tuss in Durehmesser miszt. In diesem Kafig wind seit hundente Jahren ein Rabe gefangen gehalten als Gedachtnisz an ein unschuliger Opfer der Ungerechtigkeit. In dem vierzehnten Jahr hundent wohnte in der nahe in einem Schlosse Bischof Thilo von Thrata. Eines Tages vermisste er reinen golden en Siegel-ring und deschuldigle seinen Diener Johannis des Diebstahls. Dieser beteuerte seine Unschuld aber alles Sugnen half ihm nichts und er wurde zum Tode verurteilt. Noch auf den Richtplatz rief er Gott zum Zeugen an dasz er unschuldig sei und sagle er wurde die Flande zum Himmel heben nach dem ihm der Kopf abgeschlagen geworden war, und er tat es auch wircklich. Einige Jahre spater fand ein Dach-decker als er dasz Dach eines der sieben Turne ausbessente den Ring in dem Neste eines Raben, und brachte ihn dem Bischof. Voller Reue befahl dieser dasz hinfunt fur ewige Zeiten ein Kabo gefangen gehalten werden solle als andenken an den unschuldig cnthauptetin Johannis. Auch liesz er i den Mauern der Gebaude, die den innern Schlosz-hof umgeben, das Bild Johannis einmauern. Jetzt Kann man 2 3

rooms, the library, principal’s office, and auditorium. On the second floor the hall is similar to that just discribed, except that it is lighted by a large skylight. From it opens the class rooms, the art department, and the physical and chemical laboratories. Each of the three stationary tables in the chemical laboratory will accommodate twelve pupils with space, sinks, drawers, compartments and faucets. In the physical laboratory each of the four tables will accommodate eight pupils. Here a beautiful new cabinet endows all of the apparatus, much of which is new. All the rooms in the building are in white plaster wuth golden oak woodwork and hardwood floors. Hot and cold water is supplied throughout the building; sanitary foun¬ tains in the halls, and w ' hen the building is completed it may be lighted by electricity, and the laboratories will be furnished with gas. We wish to express to the patrons and to the honorable School Board our appreciation of what they have done for us in the erection of this beautiful new building. A public reception to be held in the new building in the near future is being planned. We hope to welcome large numbers of patrons of the schools and citizens of Astoria on this occasion. “Stick to me close,” said the envelope to the stamp. “By gum, I will,” was the reply.—Ex. Mr. Eply: What is a lake? Bright Student: A dammed stream.—Ex. First Girl: Did you take “gym” last year? Second Girl: No, Jim took me.—Ex. “Why is a cigar like a play?” “Because if it’s bad it won’t draw, and if it’s good you want a box.”—Ex. He: Will you marry me? She: No. And they lived happy ever after.—Ex.

THE SPRING OF YESTERDAY. It was spring—fresh, beautiful spring. The birds in the trees proclaimed it; the dandelions smiled it; all the fowls in the old farm yard nodded ap¬ proval on viewing the new gowns of their companions. But there was one into whose heart spring had not entered—this was Cora, very much out of sorts with herself and the world in general. “Well, I might as well get those dishes done right away,” she said to herself. “And there are those horrid stockings to mend, too. Oh, dear! I don’t see how small boys can wear out stockings so fast.” She heaved a deep sigh as she went inside and fell to work. But in a few minutes she remembered the apple sauce to be taken to poor Mrs. Brown, who was very frail and needed all the strength she could get to care for her large family of children. Cora, feeling too cross and ungrateful to enjoy anything, sallied forth into the bright morning. It was amusing to note how many things were displeasing to her: the road was too muddy, the birds were too noisy and the mountains, far away, seemed cold and distant. Her musings were suddenly cut short by her arrival at the Brown’s back yard. Here Samuel Clemens Joseph Brown was just starting a shoot- the chutes. A small hill sloped gently from the back porch and at the bot¬ tom of this was a shallow pond. Samuel had just poured a pailful of water down the muddy path, and sitting on a board, he was proceeding to make the trial trip. With one delightful yell he hit the water. But alas! Instead of shooting to the other side of the pond he went ker-splash, face downward, into the muddy water, whence he soon emerged, spluttering, dripping, angry, amid the gibes of the others. “How’d you like it, Sam?” “Gee, ain’t he m-ad though!” And Skinny Jones, just arriving on the scene, began: “Smarty, smarty. Gave a party, No one came, But a-” Can t you keep still, you crazy? We’re tryin’ to hypnotize Mandy Jane, and we can’t do nothin’ when you’re hollerin’ that way,” came from a group
