You can not read Mark Twain account of the
street scenes in Constantinopie, especially that
paragraph describing the scavenger force, with
out remarking the wide difference, yet striking
similarity in many respects, of the scsvengers Of
the great Oriental City and the city of Knox
vile. Dogs perform the same offices there that
hogs are supposed to perform here. The rsistive
advantages of cleanliness, so far as our observs-
tion of the habits Of the different forces are con-
cerned, are in favor Of the city Of the Turks
Happy are the denizens Of tAe city whose scav-

and who are so solcitous about the welfare of
the city that they are never contented except
when reveling in garbage and flth, or tearing

who are DESTROYS of recognizing the GRAD Di-
vision of East Tennessee, will bear in mind the
meeting to be held at Temperance Hall, in this

its advocates will at once unite their fortunes
with the Grand Division of the State OF Tennes-

Dull Times.

Everybody is talking about dull times " in
Knoxville. Well, what of this? are the times
really dull? You unhesitatingly answer yes;
but when asked what evidence you have for
believing this you can not so readily produce it
as you at first thought had supposed When
you go down to the wharf, at the mouth of First
Creek, you will find that all is hustle and confI-
sion there with tcamsters and our up-country
friends in their efforts to relieve the at-boats of
their oadngs of corn, wheat, bacon, and every
species of produce known TO our markets.
When you visit our wholesale and retail stores,
particularly the former and see them selling
their goods see them unloading and rc-loading
goods at all hours of the day. and then examine
their sworn reports to The revenue officers, you
will not only find that they are doing good
business, but that we have in Knoxville one of
the largest, if it is not the largest. Wholesale
houses in the State of Tennessee. Then go to
the depot and see the long trains of wagons and
drays unloading produce there for shipment, and
examine our market reports, and you will find
that great deal that is said about dull times
is all "bosh."
Go in any direction in the city, and you will
find new dwellings going up or just finished.
You will also find repairing going on wherever
you go. You will find by enquiry that all our
manufactures are enlarging and improving their
shops, and increasing their facilities for manu-
featuring, which speaks yell for the future of
our city. Landlords find good demand for
neat cottage dwellings, with fair rents for all
kinds of property which indicates that the rapid
growth of our city for the last three or four
years was permanent and healthy, and that the
population keeps fully up, numerically, with the
rapid improvements of our city. Then let us
quit trying to believe that we have dull times"
| in Knoxville. With the opening up of spring
and the commencement of work on this end of
| the Knoxville and Charleston Railroad new
| lie will be infused into the growth of Knox
vile, and she will move steadily on to her pro-

Hints for Public Speakers.

Faraday's great success as lecturer may
be attributed to his careful attention to
strict rules. The following have been
found in his notes "Never to repeat a
phrase; never to go back to amend if at a
loss for word, not to ch-ch-ch, or eh-eh-
Ell, but to stop and wait for it, for it soon
comes, and the bad habits are broken and
fiuency soon acquired; never doubt a cor
rection given to me by another" In addi-
ton to this strict attention to rules, Fara-
day took lessons in lecturing in 1923, and
again in 1925 and 1926, before giving his

The tendency of gold in New York for the
past week has been upward, reaching ms high

The Bulls have made desperate effort within
the past few days to push up the price, and the
advance seems to indicate that they were slight
ly successful. But il seems as if the regular
sales made by the Government, to which will
coon be added the S25 1000 90 soon to be paid
out as May interest, and the $50 1000 600 MS July
interest, ought to be enough to keep down the
price and meet all demands.
If there is any change, the probabilities are
thatit will be lower instead Of higher, But lit
tie is doing here in coin. 1t comes in in small
lots and the local demand is sufficient to absorb
it. Buying price of gold is l0c. and sells at
premium of previous day in New York. Silver
buying, 05c.; selling, l0c. The receipts of
eastern exchange are light and it is rather diff
cult to meet all demands
The demand for JAMS on approved paper is

lar customers Welook for little change in the

BLAcK-BoARDs.-A year or more
ago we published two valuable recipes
for painting black boards We are
again asked for one. The others arc
forgotten.
Before giving it, however, let it be
said that there should be about
twice as much black board in each
school as we generally find. AT least
three sides of the house should be lined
with it. Make the walls solid with
studding about nine inches apart
Give the plastering good hard finish,
and then use the following:
..Take mineral paint and mix japan
with twice its own quantity Of spirits
of turpentine. Add little varnish
and about one lb. of flour of emery to
a quart of paint" But use 0a,-nersr.
Make Jropn-Joard, rather than black
board. t5 '-&A@
Now in the sacred lanes OF arithme-
tic and grammar, give the children a
board fit to write upon, and large
enough for the whole school to work
at one time, if necessary. a

Presenf Standard of Writing.

The old method OF teaching penman-
ship, and the system OF pot-hooks and
hangers, SO long ago condemned a. be
ing tedious, imperfect and entirely un-
suited to the demands-of the present
times, is still in vogue to considera-
BILE extent; the result is, that we have
been drifting into nation OF scrib-
blers. Deny it who may, it is a fact
that, Notwithstanding the great i'm
provements claimed to have been made
in teaching writing for the last twenty
five years, the introduction of a thous-
and aud one different systems, aud the
publication of numerous treatises on
the subject, many of which will CON-
pare favorably in extent with Webster s
Dictionary, and are as Ineligible and
comprehensive as Greek grammar,
the standard Of writing has not i'm
proved; we have gone back instead
of advancing. The standard of pen
manshlp in our common schools is not
as high to-day as it was twenty years
ago; While our young men, leaving
school and college for business, write
cramped and illegibly, and not one in
twenty-five can command the rapid,
free, plain hand that passes muster in
first class business house. This may
be regarded as broad assertion, but
the truth of it will be verified by every
d,sinterested teacher-fE Eastman As
