TIE SCHOOL LEVY,

The eighth Of next month is fixed for the
school election. TO the body of the people,
as the Charleston Courier says. there can be
no event of greater Importance. The educa>
ton of their children is as cherished a privi-
lege as they possess. At the same election,
as we have heretofore mentioned, vote will
be taken, in each school district, upon the
question of an annual levy for school pur-
poses. IF the ballots show majority in fa>
vor of the tax, then each district, so voting,
will receive its share of the general school
fund of the State. Where the levy is de-
fested, no funds viii Be furnished for free
schools In this case, the inevitable result
win be the closing of the schools in such dis
tricts. We are led to mention these facts
again, in order that the importance of favor>
ing the levy may be appreciated in every dis.
triet, and to show how unwise and how crimi.
nal it is by opposing it, to fail to secure the
necessary means for the purpose of education.

SPRING MANAGEMENT OF
co us.

Il
Dairymea are now making ready
for the opening of their business. al
it has become . quite general practice
to have the cows come in in March,
The plan of having the dairy season
open early IS a good one, providing
the COWS are rightly managed during
the spring months When the grass
begins to starr, and the sun to shine
wssnly, cows begin to lose their APP
petites for dry feed, and not getting
sufficient Of the grsen. fail inlAesh at
the very time they should be, the
most prosperous. i8l19 aitf
An old dairyman, and one who is
remarkably successful. tells me that
he does. not believe in cutting or
steaming good hay for cows in winter
for in cold weather they are glad to
get it, and if properly protected from
storms will keep in good condition
without grain, but when spring comes
and the cows begin to get a taste of
fresh grass, he cuts all Of the dry
feed, and net only brines it little,
but gives it good sprinkling of corn
and oat meal, mixed half and half; he
uses less feed in this way, and his
COWS gain daily uponit, and never
get so y UGH grass. but they are will
ing to go to the barn at night for the
foddering, Cut feed is given until
the pastures afford ample for the herd
to fill themselves to satisfaction and
gradually lessened as the season ad-
vances.
there is no economy in attempting
to stint mich COWS, to overfeed them
or to milk TOO many weeks in the
year. They require food both to
sustain themselves and to make milk;
a lack of food will diminish both
Overlooking will exhaust the Phys
|ical nature prematurely, aud milking
eleven months in the year, will alike
result Ia a majority of cases. Cor.

PRESENCE OF MIND.

AS little girl, Liszie Bourland
by name, who resided at Woodlawr.,
ILL.,, on the line of the St. Louis and
Southeastern Railroad, was passing
down the track yesterday afternoon.
on her way to the next station
(Roache's), she discovered lot OF
brush upon the track, which she con-
! clHded to remove. Upon lifting q
portion Of the brush, sac discovered
a tie across the track.
She endeavored TO remove the tie,
but being child Of only thirteen
years of age, her strength was mad
|equate to the task. She tugged and
tugged at the obstinate piece of tim
Der, but move it would not just
then, to her horror, she heard the
train a coming. With presence Of
mind far exceeding her years, she
grasped her parasol and signaled the
train to stop, keeping it ia violent
motion until she head the engineer
whistling down brakes AS the
train was only about one hundred
yards distant when the signal was
given, Of course the engineer struck
the tie, Notwithstanding the air.
brakes were put on to the fullest ex-
tent, but the speed was SO lessened
by the time the obstacle was struck
that no danger was dose. The con-
ductor of the train stopped and took
up the little child and carried her TO
her destination, after thanking her
for the timely warning, which doubt
less, saved number of lives. The
train was passenger train bound
West and due in East St. Louis at
4:32, which point it reached in safe
ty, through the thoughtfulness and
presence of mind of the little girl.
All honor, say we, to little Lizze

farmers have any idea. Aside from
the looks of farm being spoiled by
badly arranged fields, an almost In
credible increase of labor is often en-
tailed upon the farmer and his hands
by fences wrongly placed. We know
of no better plan to secure a conyen-
lent and economical laying-out of a
farm, than to make map of it, put
ting down every natural feature in It's
proper place, and then marking off
the fields according to some settled
plan of rotation of crops, and laying
down the roads so as to occupy the
shortest possible route, to and from
the fields.
Nothing will so much conduce to
the adoption of system Of working
the farm, IS q well prepared map,
when hung where the farmer can see
it every day. 1t will be sure to set
him to thinking and planning how
best to pitch his crops, and how best
to work to save work. And once a
farmer adopts a system of farming,
he starts on the road to success. 1t
matters not that the system is not the
best that could be devised, so long as
it is system, it is infinitely to be
preferred to the hap-hazard practice
of many farmers. We therefore ad-
wise every reader who owns farm to
make at once, or have made,a map of
it, and hang it up where he can see
it every day; and having made it,
study it. e

POWER OF IMAGINATION.

A man of science In Paris once
prevailed on the Minister of Justice
to experiment upon murderer who
had been condemned to death. The
criminal was Of high rank, and he
was informed that, in order to save
the feelings of his family, he would
not be put TO death upon the scat
fold, but bed to death within the
precincts of the prison also that
his deceased would be free from pain
lis eyes were bandaged, he was
strapped TO a table, and, at precon-
certed signal, four Of his veins were
gently pricked with pin. At each
corner of the table was small foun-
tam of wafer. so contrived to flow
gently into basins placed to receive
il. lie believing that it was his
blood he heard flowing, gradually
became weak and the conversation
of the doctors in an undertonc con-
firmed him in this opinion. What
fine blood u said one "What
pity this man should be condemned
to die he would have lived long
ti"t. "Hush ~ said the other then
approaching the first he asked HMM
a low voice, but SO as to be heard by
the criminal, "How many pounds of
blood are there in the human BODY ?"
''Twenty7four; you see already about
ten pounds extracted J that man is
now III hopeless state" The ply
siclans then receeded by degrees and
continued to lower their voices. The
stiffness which reigned in the apart
ment' broken only by the dripping
fountains, the sound of which was
gradually lessened, so affected the
brain of the poor patient that al

ton be tainted and died without hav-
ing lost drop of blood -Erom

THE PHENICIANS IN AMER
lCA.

Advices from Rio Janeiro, of April
5, say there are good grounds for the
belief that a remarkable historic
discovery has just been achieved in
Brazil, no less than an engraved
stone, bearing Phenician inscrip-
tion, concentrating visit to Brazil
some five centuries before the birth
of Christ. The circumstances are.
Visconde de Sabercahy, a nember
of the Emperor's Council of State,
received three months ago a letter
from Parahyba, inclosing the draw
ing of the inscription upon a stone
which the writer's slaves had come
upon during their agricultural labors
on his farm, and which drawing had
been made by the writer's son, a
young man who could draw little
This copy was turned over to the
Historical Society of Rio, and by

of the Rio Museum, for an explana-
lion. On examining it he was
surprised TO find that the characters
were pure Phenlcian.

Few Of us have any idea as to the
number of hairs we possess on our
heads. Mr.. Ere SINUS Wilson can tell
as to a nicely. He observed on in
spection,i in a square inch on the scalp
Of Il hrown-haired II an, 744 pores, each
pore being supposed to give passage
to one hair. The surface of the scalp
presents 100 square inches, which
would yield $1,000 hairs. The calcu-
Iatlon refers to thin leads, for in 9th
ers, many, if not all, POI es give pass
age to two hairs Reckoning that
only half the pores in a head should
give passage to two hairs, we should
find LILO hairs per square inch, Oh
l33,92O hairs on medium head
while, if we calculate two hairs in
leach pore, we shall arrive at the con.
clasion that those who own luxuriant
heads carry on.them us many as us.
500 individual hairs.
