COUNTY SCHOOL COMMUNITIES.
Pro Rata for Each Pupil and the Number
of Scholastic Age.

County Judge Burke has completed the
compilation of the school apportionment
for Dallas county. The apportionmcnt Is
made on u basis of 81 per capita to each
child and the respective school COM
munities will be credited with the amount
apportoned tn each. There are in all lOl
county school communities; eighty.eight
white and thirteen colored, with an aggre-
gate attendance OF 1901 pupils. The mum.
Der of children Of scholastic ago, rs repre-
sented by tho rolls OF the county asse 5sor,
foots up 1872 children. This apportion-
mont will run the schools from five to six
months. Tho apportanment for the pre-
ceding year was 1915, which ran tho schools
four months Tho scholastic year COM
monces the first Monday in September and
Mr., II, NJ, Bryan, clerk of school matters
for tho county, who pays strict attention to
II, thinks that the attendance on The schools
for heonsuing scholastic year will bemuch
larger than that Of last year. The people
are taking more and more interest each
year Ia the education Of their children,
and the past year has wrought
marked changes in that respect.
The old shanty buildings heretofore used
for sch DOL houses ara giving way to more
commodous and comfortable buildings.
The class Of teachers are also improving,
and the schools are more prosperous IN
every respect. The public schools OF the
city generally open the first Monday in
September, but so far no arrangements
have been made for suitable buildings.

The Island Of Skye.


Skye is the largest island which lies
close to the mainland of Scotland on its
west side. 1t is about fourteen miles
long, and has an average breadth of
nearly four miles. 1t rains here on the
average nine days out of every twelve.
and the fall is 1870 inches annually.
There is consequently an abundance of
grass even in winter. 1t is the home of
the West Highland or Kyloo cattle, which
are among the hardest of the bovine
species, as fine in form as the Devon,
though fifth less in size as bred here.
Their beef is of first quality. All except
COWS in calf-which are stabbed only on
winter nights-run out the whole year
exposed to the weather. Their long,
thick, shaggy coats of hair protect them
well, even from the sleet and snow,
which alternate with rain in winter
They thrive on the poorest fare, and
when nearly full grown, fatten rapidly
on a little additional good feed thus
making them profitable animals to rear
even III that moist tempestuous climate.
The cows give small messes of milk, but
to make up for the smallness in quantity,
it is as rich in quality as that drawn
from the famous Channel Island cows.
Aside from oats, the only crops that
can be cultivated in Skye are potatoes,
beets and turnips. Grass, of course -,
grows wild and abundantly, and this is
the main food to be depended on for the
stock. Afew horses, together with some
thousands Of sheep are raised here. We
are not advised as to their breeds; but as
they, too, have to get their living in the
open, they must be as hardy as the cattle.
Pigs are not kept. The island is famous
for its breed of dogs--a Skye terrier with
its long, soft, silky hair being quite a
favorite with the fanciers. The inhabit-
ants live in low cottages of very thick,
uncemented stone walls. The roof is
matched and held down with ropes of
twisted heather, otherwise the fierce
winds would blow it away. The food of
the people is oatmeal, potatoes, turnips,
with little milk and few eggs as a
rarity, and fish when they can be easily
caught. Meat they seldom if ever eat,
having positive dislike for it. Their
farming implements are of the rudest
and cheapest kind, of the same fashion
as centuries ago, with few exceptions.
The people are robust, healthy, sober,
industrious and contented; and upon the
whole may be said to live reasonably
happy life. They do not know what
luxuries are, and therefore do not crave
them-or follies of any other kind. The
area OF the island is 535 square miles ard
its population under 10000. The surface
is mountainous; the soil is poor and the
products scant. Large plantations of
trees have lately been planted, which
will help to moderate the severity of the
weather. Skye is the largest of the
Hebrides. -RurdI NeW Yorker.

truths were often cut out or burned with
red-hot iron and melted lead. The
"Christ's FOOLS" however, like court
testers, were allowed to say many things
that no sane man would dare to utter.
Prokop of Ustug threatened an impioHs
Prince and his courtiers with a " stony
rain" Being Knocked, as the story goes,
a rain of stone fell and killed many peo-
pie. 1t stopped only when Prokop began
to pray.
Under the Romanoffs' rule, that is, for
the last two centuries and half, there
have been only eight saints, and these
lived far away from the capitals, one
dwelling in Siberia-St. Innocent, at
Irkutsk. The Romanoffs usurped the
patriarchal powers in the Church. They
cared nothing for piety and virtue, and
only sought to increase their authority.
At the head of the Government, and
therefore of the Church, there were in
turn the boy Gar, the baby Car, the
idiot Gar, the maniac Gar, Russian
Aspasia, Northern Semiramis and two
Russian Messaline. Under such spirit
ual guidance there could be no talk of
piety and sanctity in the cOuntry.-St.

Parasites.

The word parasite is Greek. 1t means
literally, one who eats with another-the
guest at feast. But it was early applied
to that class of guests who manage, by
flattery and fawning, to live at other
peoples expense. The Romans adopted
it, and hence Platus says: Parasites are
like mice-they eat the food that belongs
to somebody else" Modern science has
applied the word to vegetables and ami
mails that attach themselves to other
plants or to other animals, and live upon
them as the human parasite lives upon
his host. These parasites are almost in
Vulnerable. The microscope is daily re-
vealing new ones. There are three
classes of them: O Vegetable parasites
that fasten upon plants or trees; (2) ami
NAL parasites, that feed upon vegetables,
shrubbery and trees, and (3) animal
parasites, that attach themselves to other
animals. Of the first class, the mistletoe
and the oat are a familiar illustration;
to the second belong all the varieties of
tree borers and plant lice, and the third
the ichneumon fly, that takes possession
of the caterpillar, and all the blood-suck-
ing insects that prey upon man and beast.
A few parasites may be useful. The vine
which produces the vanilla bean is said
to be parasite. But the almost universal
rule is that parasites are both useless and
destructive. They attack plants or ami
mails more valuable than themselves;
they feed upon the sap or the blood; they
exhaust the vitality of that upon which
they fasten in order to sustain their own;
and then they do no good in tho world;
they bear no fruit; they furnish no food;
they are pest in the garden, the or
chard. the house--everywhere Prairie
Farmer.

THE charges of corruption have been
hurled in the Democratic papers at
the head of Chairman Harrington of
the Republican State Executive Com
mittee as thick as Javelins in a Roman
battle, and his name with that of Jay
Hubble's are held up as the synonyms
of all that is corrupt But where
there are charges there are always
likely to be counter charges, and the
State Sentinel of Saturday presents
them. 1t says it speaks in part from
knowledge, and names four different
sources of money aggregating Sal 900
which were furnished Senator Bayard
two years ago for use in a corruption
fund, and says the money which come
in from other sources made the amount
foot up about $4,000. Outside persons
have no means of knowing the devious
ways of politicians, and when the
"kettle calls the pot black" they can
believe the charges of both or not just
as they please. Nothing seems to be
gained by the lavish use of money in
party success, when one can handle it
as lavishly as the other, as was the
case two years ago. The only thing
that comes of it is debauchery. The
whole thing is in violation of law, and
if each would resolutely agree to en-
force the Bribery law against the
other, politics would be a much more
respectable and less expensive business
An anti-corruptiOn fund to enforce the
law is the only legitimate way tha
money can be used.
