Virginia would have been rather far
for him to have made trip with a

from whom the stone was obtained was
travelling from Texas to Virginia in

A Good Suggestion.

Thos, S. Myers, one of the commit
tee on statistics, makes good sugges-
ton in, reference to getting up correct
reports on statistics in future. His idea
is to have the tax assessor for each
district, when assessing the taxes, each
year, to take correct report of num-
Der of acres Of each kind Of grain, etc,
each farmer has planted, together with
amount of each kind of stock and con
dition, etc. Aq'Book appropriately
ruled, with proper headings, should be
furnished for.this purpose. -. ..,.,,..
This is a good suggestion BY, a
comparison Of each years report with
the former we could then tell whether
we advance or go backward in the
production, Of the. various kinds of
crops-of grain, fruits, vegetables and
stock products I'VE could then have
some correct idea of what we are doing

on Vandewater street a few minutes later
and addressed him by name, with pleas
ant smile and shake of the hand.

Autumn in the South.
bill Arn.l

Bill Arp.
The poets have never written many YER
ses to autumn. They have never written
any in its praise, for they are not sweet on
falling leaves and the decay Of nature and
the first chill that comes from old winters
breath. But there is something very sooth-
ing to me in the season that is now upon
us. | like to see the falling leaves and
the beautiful cOlors that adorn the woods
and the russell brown of the corn and the
fieecy cotton in the field. The children
are mighty happy now, picking chinkapins
and gathering chestnuts, and walnuts, and
maypops, and black haws, and muscadines
Possums are getting ripe, too, and sweet
potatoes, and young squirrels and fall
apples, and sugar-cane, and it keeps the
little chaps busy investigating all these
good things. The fattening hogs have been
brought into closer quarters, and are turn
ing corn into sausage-meat, and lard, and
spare ribs, and souse and cracklings, and
heap of good things. l believe l had
rather sacrifice fat hog upon the alter Of
appetite than any other animal, for he
cares less about it, and would agree to die
by contract for three months feed of corn.
So it is a fair thing all round. The autumn
of the blessed Southern land is not like
the autumn of old England, where the po-
cts lived. They fell into raptures over
italian sunsets because they had lived SO
long in fogs and hardly ever saw the sun
20 down at all. Travellers tell us that the
Italian sunsets will not begin to compare
with ours. 1t is our delight these pleasant
evenings to sit on piazza and watch the
illuminated clouds at sunset and listen to
the children as they find dog, or rabbit,
or lion, or bear, or some other animal in
the shifting clouds. Sometimes it is
huge giant, and sometimes whale, but it
is always strain on their little fancies to
make something out of it, whether it fits
or not. But it is a grand panorama and a
big canvas, and it takes a long brush to
paint it. Natures artist is mighty busy
now painting the green leaves with tints
of red and pink and yellow. He has be-
gun on the naples and sweetgums and
poplars, and touched them up beautifully,
and after while he will give them bright
er coat. He slipped up on us unawares,
and painted our China tree when we were
away from home, or maybe he paints at
night.

New London Day: No. said the ar

cuse for delaying it, or even lodging it al
together. But woman would deliberately

"But children?"
ut is both wrong and foolish to deceive
child about such things If he is told
he IS not to be hurt, and then is hurt, he
will never take your word again, and will
hate you, and will resort to almost any
means to keep away from dental office
afterward. | always tell child that the
operation hurts a little, but that / will be

pride and make him very brave. If he is
handled properly he will train his pluck
for the most painful operation, and usually
when he is dismissed from the chair he is
surprised that the pain has been no more
severe. You know the extent of pain, or,
indeed. of everything, is not to be meas
ured by comparison with ones expectation
of what is to be DONE"
"You have to deceive men, do you?'

friends pull his own TOOTH"
"How?'

Look at them. [ found one that could not

concluded it would be safer to keep his
peppers closed. By quick and precise work

and pushed it away so frantically as to
throw forceps, tooth and all through the

A Phenomenal Maine Girl.
Lewiston Journal. |

Lewiston Journal.
The antagonists of modern advanced ed
ucation, if there be any, should have heard
little lecture that a gentleman gave on
the street, Wednesday morning The
question had arisen as to the tendency of
modern advanced education to create dis
gust for manual labor The gentleman
told an anecdote. A young lady who is
very well known in Lewiston and Au-
burn. and who has had liberal education
in America, course of study in the Ger
man schools, and who has since taught in
some of the leading schools in this State
and others, came home to her fathers
farm this summer. The hours hung rather
heavily. Father, your Office needs shing-
ling" said she, one day. The next day the
shingles were on the spot, and the young
lady proposed to have some fun, and COM
bine it in legitimate way with solid
work. She built the staging geometrically
and ran the lines after Euclid, shingled
the office as neatly and expeditiously as
the village professor of shingling himself
could have done. She pulled down the
staging and erected it over the ell to the
house, and in spite of parental Injunction,
shingled the ell and sloping shed attached.
She practiCed music for pleasure in the
meantime, however, and read German for
pastime. Nothing" added the gentle
man, would be further from her own in
clinatiOn than nOtoriety.n
