WHAT Is a CARAT?-The carat is an
imaginary weight that expresses the fine
ness of gold, or the proportion ofpure gold
in mass of metal /; thus. an ounce of gold
is divided into tWenty-four carats, and gold
of twenty-five carats fine is gold of which
twenty-five parts out of twenty-four are
pure, the other two parts being sill
yer, copper or other metal The weight
Of four grains, used by jewellers in weigh.
ing precious stones and pearls.is sometimes
called the diamond weight-the carat con-
sisting of four nominal grains, little
lighter than four grains troy, or seventy
four and one-sixteenth carat grains being
equal to seventy-two grains troy. The
term or weight carat derives its name from
a bean, the fruit of an Abyssinian tree.
called kuara- This bean, from the time of
its being gathered, varies very little in It's
weight, and seems to have been, from
very remote period, used as a weight for
gold in Africa In India, also, the bean
is used as a weight for gems and pearls.

DRINKING IN SUMMER.-The longer a
person can put of drinking glass Of
water on hot summers day, the better 1T
will be for him; for if he drinks largely
early in the day the thirst will be increas-
ed, with an uncomfortable sense of fuIness
large perspiration, increased liability to
colds, with a debilitated condition of the
system.
In taking glass of water or other cold
drink, it IS better to take but single
swallow at time. removing the glass
from the lips for a few seconds thus the
thirst will be quenched with half the
amount of water, and danger is avoided of
sudden prostration. Half a dozen swal-
lows thus taken will quench the thirst
more completely than twice the amount
if taken continuously without removing
the glass from the lips.
If person is very thirsty, chewing
Jumps of ice is safer, better and more ef-
fective than five times the amount in the
form of cold water. If very warm, it is
safer to hold the glass for a minute or two
encircled with the fingers and palm of the
hand This cools the blood little, and

The Springfield Republican has the follow
ing; Whether Mr.. Chase, in the event Of
his nomination for the Presidency, will cap.
ture the southern vote or any formidable
proportion of it, is an open question and
admits Of legitimate argument But to say as
the Philadelphia Press does, that the great
mass OF the negro voters of the South never
heard his name, is simply absurd. The
colored people are not so ignorant as all that
comes to, or so forgetful of the men who led
the war upon Slavery. The Press might as
well, and indeed a great deal better, say that
Charles Summer was an unknown name south
OF the Potomac and the OHIO. For Mr.. Chase
has been among these sable voters since the
war. Thousands of them have listened to his
wise and fatherly, counsels, and the dollar
greenback has made his face familiar from one
end of the South to the other. The majority
of them may vote against him at a pinch, but
It will not be because he is a stranger to them
in the sense that John w. Forney is a stran-
ger, nor because they are ignorant or forgetful
of what they owe to him."

THE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

The action of this body of Educators
during its recent session has brought one
fact prominently before the public mind,
the necessity off State Superintendent
of Public Instruction. On this point
there was remarkable unanimity. The
demand for such an officer comes from
every section of the State. The Legisla-
ture is disposed to act promptly on this
subject. for several bills. We understand,
have been introduced already for the Gre
alton of a State Superintendent with 9TH
err amendments to the present School Sys-
TEN of the State.
The County System with State Board
of Education and general superintendent
may be made efectual, but until we have
these indispensable prerequisites we can
make but little progress with our county
system. Some Legislation to infuse mo-
tive power into the present law and give
the power of local taxation to the District
Boards, is imperative. Just enough leg
~islation to make the school law operative
is all that the friends of education ask
This they do ask. The welfare of the
State demands 1.-THE happiness and
prosperity of the people depend upon it.
A good School System will do more to
develop the natural u of Tennes-
see han all her rail roads combined
Yet how little her school interest appears
when contrasted with her grand legisla-
tive enactments for magnificent rail road
enterprises! i
Why should not the school interest be
made more prominent?
