HOW WE TOOK IN SUMMER
BOARDERS.
BY "JOsIAH ALIENS WIFE"

Last summer, as the days grew hot, Jo-
siah grew fearfully cross. And his worst
spells would come on to him, as he would
come home from Jonesville.
You see, an old friend of his'n, Jake
Mandagood by name, was a-takin' in
boarders, and maxim money by 'em. And
I s'pose, from what l learned afterwards,
that he KEEP a-throwin' them boarders into
Josiah's face, and sayin' if it Wuzn't for
his wife, he could make jest as much mon
ey. Jake Mandagood had herd me talk
on the subject time and again. For my
feelin's about summer boarders, and takln
of 'em in, had always been cast-iron. I
wouldn't take 'e7s IN, had alters said.
Josiah, like other pardners Of his sect,
| is very fond of havin' things as he wants
| 'em; and he is also fond of maxim money;
| and s'pcse that was what made him so
| fearfully cross to me. But I Wus skairt

SALT FOR BRONCHIAL AFFECTIONS
The value of salt as a cure for bronchial
affections and ordinary sore throat can on
ly be properly estimated by those patients
who, after having become. walking recep-
tacles for troches, pectorals and cough
syrups, find instant relief by swallowing a
simple pinch of salt. The d1sagreeable
tickling of the throat, the hacking cough,
even bleeding at the lungs, is ameliorated
by one or two pinches of salt. Try it, We
lovers OF nostrums and patent medicines,
and your throat disease will yield before
Its simple touch like magic, your purse be
none the lighter for the expenditure.

Natchez Democrat:-Probably
the most important step in the d.
rection of State assistance toward
securing higher education for the
women Of Mississippi was taken
by the Board of Visitors Of the
State University when they re.
solved to admit female students to
the classes of the institution.
Well guarded restrictions have
been placed upon the privilege
and we see no reason why the ben.
efits Of the University may not be
availed of by many of the bright
and intelligent girls of the State.
One of the brightest mathematical
students we have ever encounter
ed was young lady, and it is by
no means unusual to meet with
girls who keep pace with the
brightest boys as far as they were
allowed to 60 in their studies. If
these girls are accorded equal
educational privileges they will
enter on the race of life with in.
tellects as well cultivated as those
of their brothers, and will be bet
ter qualified to enter upon that
most important task, the training
of the youthful minds of their
sons.

When q child is old enough to
go to school hesis old enough to
be taught the use of q pencil. His
teacher should be competent to
instruct him In the rudiments of
drawing as well as in those of
writing. A few half hours q week
throughout his course at school
will teach him enough of drawing
to enable him to put on paper q
representation, correct as far as it
goes, of any object he wishes.
So much every child has the ca
pacity to learn, and most children
like to learn II. There is no ex.
cuse for leaving out Of our sys-
tens Of education the elementary
training of a faculty so simple, so
universal, so useful. Such draw.
ing is not art, but it bears much
the same relation to art that the
cOpy-book does to literature, and
the rudiments of arithmetic to bu.
siness or science.

Meeting the editors residence with
the central Office has an affinity,
for the Rancho de Porter wire.
The Porter people seem to have Q
great amount Of talking to do, es-
peeially between sundown and
early morning. On such occasions
we now take the instrument OF
the hook and LET them ring all they
want to but, Of course, we must
first learn the fact that wires are
crossed.
Last night the editor went to
Castle Park, and on his return was
startled TO hear the telephone
ring violently. He ran down
stairs at the risk Of breaking his
neck, only to find that il was a
woman ut the Porter House or.
dering supper to be prepared at a
restaurant.
The girls nj the Rancho delight
Ia talking through the telephone
aud they keep the boy at the cen.
trail Office busy.
The following is abont the style
Of conversation we are called To

Just about that time the boy at
the central ONCE shuts them oil
of,exccpt the editor and the girls;
their wires being crossed they
cannot be shut oG from each
other. Finally, ~ We said before,
he leaves the instrument on the
hook In order to stop the racket.
This wire crossing has been oc.
curing quite frequently lately,
and 1t is an unbesrsble nuisance.
