...that a critic in the Literary Review of 'the New York Evening Post places Dr. Crofters' book in a list suitable for the Seventh Age of Reading, for those who are post their prime and have reached the age of at least sixty. It takes all my slight remainder of youthful courage to differ from so high an authority and recommend "The Dame School of Experience" to-a much less aged audience. Essays need not so much age for their enjoyment as a conversational altitude of mind; and there has always been enough talk at Harvard, if not real conversation...

Taxicabs may be ordered at the News Stand...
...presented the most difficulties and hindrances possible to such a plan from the nature of the Congressional ruling regarding military prisoners. Formerly sailors who had served a sentence at Portsmouth could not return to the service and were thrown on their recources, branded criminals often for offences of comparatively slight importance. Commander Osborne, however, secured a channel for pardons, and instilling into his men a spirit of good citizenship, sent 2700 of them back into the service, after shortened terms, during his three years in office. A very small proportion of these men, despite the prejudice in the service toward...
