The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1883-10-13
A WORD TO THE PATRONS OF MI
Ian COLLEGE.

ga stitch in time saves nine" We
have already mentioned the fact to
the people that our expenses are over
5000. 90 per month, aud that we could
not afford TO wait. We meant what
we said. Our business is as imports
ant as that of the Bank of Eng land,
and when our money is due, why we
want it, We pledge our word not to
ask it until it is due. We 1UiH give
the people the best school in Gibson
county it they will help, but we do
not propose to run free school and
we can not do it. There is RESPONSE
bility enough hanging on the Shouts
ders of the President of Milan Col
lege, ard the citizen who declares
himself in favor Of good school,
and yet refuses to pay a small tuition
bill when it is due certainly does not
mean what he says. We can not run
this institution without money. Our
teachers are not third class men and
women, who can wait until people
have paid all their other bills, and
take what is left, at their convenience.
We don't want bills in the "sweet bye
and bye" but we must have them
right q,O,o. No intelligent man or
woman can take offence at this.
Nothing is more reasonable. Patrons
k,ao,U that their tuition fees are due at
the end of each scholastic month, and
they should get ready to meet them.
They must prepare to meet them, for
we will be forced to adopt unpleasant
measures at whatever hazard to the
school. We try to be firm with oul
pupils, and we expect to be equally
unyielding in our business dealings
with our patrons.
Now every patron please note thai
the end of the next scholastic month
is Friday, Nov. 3rd, and keep some
money for that time. We very wei
know that there are good men whC
will nav after a while, but that is no
the point; our teachers will not wal
with as until latter awhile" and W.
can not wait with you. We expec
to collect from every patron at TIT
end of our month, no matter If h
has not been sending but week. b
a man! Think; exercise your com
mon sense, and then you can see hov
we cannot afford to credit you, n
matter how good your note.

The average harness in the rural dis
tricts is poorly cared for. and short
lived. Not intrequently it is hung in
the horse stable exposed TO the ammo
MIA generated from pile of ferment-
ing manure. The stable may be fur
n she'd at odd spells with bedding or
abs rbents OF some kind, but these are
not promptly renewe /, and thu re is
great waste of the most valuable con-
stituent OF IN nure. The harness has
the benefit OF the ammonia and the eff
feet is about the same as washing 1t
with lye. The harness rots, cracks and
wi,hou' frequent oiling comes to grief
mt an carlv date. The safer way is to
have place for the harness in the car
r age house, or some building outside
The stable. If the stable alone is avail
able. it should be kept free from the
smell OF ammonia by the constant use
OF absol bents, saw-dust, sods, road
dust, straw, or refuse hay. A harness
properly cared for and kept clean and
pliable will last twice as long rs one
that i neglected. Ii is much cheaper
TO spend ten cents for meats foot oil,
once in three months, than fifty cents
for mending at the harness maker s. -

Books VS.. the Powers Of Observation.

1t was lately remarked in these col
umns that one of the dangers attendant
on education was that it might lessen
mems powers of observation. There is
no doubt, we apprehend, that this pos
sibility does exist. Bookishness and alb
sence of mind are no new faults among
students. Among the more cultivated
classes they have, indeed, been for a
considerable time in process. of diminu-
ton. and the last half-century more par
ticularly has seen a great change in this
respect. Physical science has reused
students, who in former ages would
have been abstract thinkers and nothing
more, to careful and steady observation
OF external things. Facilities of trav-
cling have acted as another stimulus in
the same direction; and the love of
nature has been power over sentiment
tai minds, and has led them insensibly
from quiet enjoyment of their sur
roundings to more active investigation.
So that altogether the classes which at
the present day have the advantage of
the higher education are far more OBJ
servant than were their forerunners of
three or four centuries ago; and, though
CNCh uph many vi tiO
and philosophers who walk the streets
of our univers ties live largely in a
mood of abstract thought, we must be
careful OF finding undue fault with this,
for the inward eye has some claims not
lightly to be despsed But, with re-
spect to the mass Of the nation, the
question we have raised is one that de-
serves good deal of attention. Popular
education is still in the bookish stage;
and. without complaining OF what is in
evitable, we may and tnght to inquire
whether iterary study does now in the
lower ranks promote that vice of mob
servance which it certainly promoted in
the higher ranks a century or two ago.
Equally we have to inquire whether the
virtue which is the converse of this
error may be fostered; whether and
how the study of books may be made to
minister to powers OF direct observation,
instead of being adverse to them, and
TO assist in the general business OF life.

Phosphorescent Beetles.

The beetles (elater) are the most re-
splendent forms of the South. Over
seventy distinct species of them are
known from Chill to the Southern States
of North America. They have two yell
low phosphorescent spots upon the back.
and two others hidden under the wing
cases, which are only visible when the
insect flies. We have frequently read
by their light; allowing the insect to
cling to the finger, and passing it along
the page, spot two inches in diameter
would be rendered luminous by the dor
sal lights. The sight produced by these
tropical fire-flies is often extremely
magnificent, and has been aptly de-
scribed by Southey:
Borrowing we beheld
The night come on; but soon did night dis
More wonders than it yelled; numerous
tribes
From the wood cover swarmed, and darkness
made
Their beauties visible; one while they
A bright blue radiance upon flowers which
closed
Their gorgeous colors from the eye of day;
Now, motionless and dark eluded search,
Self-shrouded; and anon, starring the sky,
Rose like shower OF fire..
Now red glare dashes by, followed by
an intermittent blaze of rich orange
yellow, while in the foliage all about
the brilliant green light of the photuris
appears, dying away mimic revolving
light. At times these attract others of
golden hues, and a bevy of flashing in
candescent bodies circle about each
other for moment, and then dart
away like flaming meteors to illumine
the gloom beyond One, the pyro-
phorus, emits. when at liberty, rich,
ruddy glow, and again a yellowish
orange, but in captivity ii seems dii-
fused with pale, green glow. These
are the insects the early Spanish in
vaders took for the lights OF an inn
mense army as they advanced upon the
ancient capital OF Mexico. At this
time they were used by the natives at
the feet. Soathey refers to this in the
poem already quoted. When Coatel
was guiding Madoc through the
cavern,
"She beckoned, and descended, and drew out
From underneath her vest cage, or net
II rather might be called, so fine the twgs
Which knit II, where, confined, two hre-hies
gave
Their luster"
are in common use as a decoration by
the ladies; and among the peasantry of
Italy and Greece a gala toilet would not
seem complete without diadem of
flashing fire flies that CLEANS and scin-
tillates like yeritable halo about their
heads As evening falls these maids If
the sun follow the cleaning insects.
and bedeck one another with living
gems that only Nature can produce
Upon one occasion Den Domingo Condo,
of Colombia. appeared upon the evening
promenade with an enormous live beetle
as a catch to his Panama hat, which in
turn was ornamented with loop OF
blazing fire-iiies; and in his palace
cages of silver wire hung, imprisoning
myriads OF the cleaning insects
