Washing the Air.

Those who complain of rainy weather
do not realize that not only does the
earth need washing. but also the air
which we breathe 80 many times day.
The effect of rain upam the air and the
contents of the rain have been made e
subject of examination by the meteorolo.
gical council of London during the past
two years. Three stations we're used for
collecting the rainfall--one at St. Bar
tholomew's hospital, another at Upper
Hamilton Terrace, in the Northwest por-
tion of London, and third at Hackney.
1t was found the rain contained twice as
much impurity liz that which fell ut the
suburban stations, and the impurities
gathered at all the stations were in the
same proportion.
The chief impurities were found to be
sulphates and chloride. and it was discov-
cred that the rain caught at St. Bartho.
lomew's was always contaminated with
scot and disagreenbie to the taste. The
sun,Gler rain is more impure than that of
winter, and in the mixture Of London
rain and SCOT trace of arsenic is found.
In summer the rain was shown to contain
larger quantity Of sulphates than chic.
rides, which WAS supposed to he owing to
the decomposition of animal and vegeta.
BILE matter during the warm months.
After the rain has been falling for some
time the impurities are found to diminish,
and the satisfaction with which we
breathe in the washed air after good
rainfall is HI evidence that our senses
bear spontaneous testimony to its purifi.

EDUCATION OF THE FUTURE.

The education of the past devoted its
attention exclusively 70 the mind. The
education of the future is TO include with
mental training all the relationS Of the
body. The old system forgot that facul.
ties of mind are but functions Of the
body. The new must keep this constant
ly in remembrance. The system of the
future Is not wholly of the future. 1t is
already far advanced 10 its establishment.
The time has gone past when we could
say, as Herbert Spencer did twenty years
ago, that men take an interest in the
rearing Of the offspring Of all creatures
except themselves, and that the feeding
and training Of animals are thought
worthy Of the consideration of gentle
man who would think it beneath him TO
bestow o thought OH the feeding and
training of human beings. The depend.
ence OF mind on body generally, and the
importance of preserving health in tue
young in order that they may benefit by
tuition, are now widely understood.
II is admitted that teachers and pa.
rents ought to know something of the
nature Of the human economy and the
laws of health, add that schools should
be conducted on hygienic principles.
dSt improvements nave luueCu Dccu
effected in regard to the diet, clothing
and cleanliness Of children, whether in
the nursery or the school.room, and the
provisions made for healthful exercise in
play grounds, gyunasia and swimming
baths betokeu an awakening to the truth
that "to be q good animal" is the first
condition Of success in life.
But notwithstanding this marked ad.
vance in educational policy, it must still
be alleged, says DR.. Creighton Brown, in
his Book Of Health, that the relations of
body and mind are very inalequately
understood by educators. Their conver.
sion to muscular Christianity has been
effected moro by the observation of
cricketers and oarsmen than by conyic-
ton Of tie Intimacy of the union Of
mind with brain. u
Whilo believing that sound health is
necessary to sound thinking, they have
not yet grasped the principle that the
brain is the basis of the teachers opera
tions, that there is constant parallelism
between the development Of the mental
faculties and its growth, and that lungs,
heart, liver, and kidneys-and, indeed,
every organ and tissue in the body-are
in constant communication with it, re.
fleet in it their good or evil fortune, and
are in turn affected by its veal and woe.

Good Farming.

ar" writing in the Pickens Sentinel OF
his trip to the late Presbytery at John
stop, has the following TO say Of Capt.
William Neal oil Anderson County at
whose house he spent the night:
"Before leaving this point we can not
refrain from giving expression to I'M
pressioDs made upon Us by Capt. n. as a
farmer. Not by what he said, so much
as by what we saw. The very place has
the appearance and air Of industry aud
thrift. Capt. N. is certainly wide
awake, progressive farmer. He il en-
ricbiug his lands with home made fertil-
izers, which we regard as r most com.
mendablc practice. There were huge
plies of compost in his lot, which were
being pulled down and distributed in
the fields. We were told that the great
quantity we saw. undistributed. WAS u
small part Of the amount composted, and
carried away from the same place this
season. BY this process the arabic lands
Of Capt. \. are increasing. in value every
year, aud the net proceeds of the farm
IRE also on the increase. Is it not pass
ing strange that the great majority OF
farmers will subject themselves to
ruinous tax in the purchase Of CONNER.

and render the soil less productive in the
making Of our 'crops-when, If they
would take more forcthought aud avail
themselves of materials at home, they
would make both themselves aud their
land richer. Capt. N. believes in yari-
ETY. of production. On a small piece Of
bottom land last year, which was planted
in rice, he made net profit Of between
fifteen hundred and two thousand dollars.
He believes in the thorough preparation
of the soil for all the varieties Of crops,
whether for cotton, corn, wheat, rye, rice,
&C., and the consequence is that he is
rapid, by the richest yields possible. He
is also greatly improving his stock. In q
word, he is pushing forward all the farm
interests, and keeps up with the most
improved machinery and implements of
husbandry. 1t is great pleasure to
visit such farm, and to hear such a
farmer talk. He magnies his works,
and by SO doing he proves himself 10 be
an important factor in tho progress of
agricultural interests. We regret that
our stay with him was 80 short"

just hold your breath now and listen,
and we'll soon see whether the State
Board Of Examiners will give the Nor.
NAL School to Anderson this year. Judge
Murray is our member Of that Board
and promises to put in some solid licks
for us. 1t seems to us the Board ought
to decide that question in three minutes.
There would be several disadvantages
connected with having the Normal in
Charleston. What up.country teacher
wants to spend the month of August in
Charleston? After session of laborious
and exhaustive school.room work the
teacher fluids it more pleasant generally
to 60 toward the mountains than toward
the sea. Outside the consideration of
health and comfort, board can be had at
much cheaper rates in Anderson than in
Charleston. But let it be held wherever
tho most good can lie accomplished.
Would Charleston be effected to very
considerable extent by the School ?
Would many people in Charleston know
that such thing was actually in exist
ence in their midst? Why would they !?
It's nothing now for them. They have
operas, lectures and entertainments OF SO
many kinds there that the exercises Of
the Normal School would attract very
little it any attention. Our opinion is
that much more can be accomplished by
holding the School in a smaller town
one just about the size of Anderson.

We are grateful 70 our friend, Prof. j.
Avery Finger, Of Charleston, for an in.
vitation to visit the Crafts School, of
which he is principal lie promises to
show us around among all the free
schools of Charleston. That would be
delightful, and we think we could make
a visit to the graded schools of Columbia
and the public schools of Charleston
profitable not only to ourself but to the
public schools of Anderson County. A
School Commissioner can not see too
much of such things-he cannot be too
well posted about every thing pertaining
to his line Of business here comes
the rub, and here the difficulty: School
Commissioners have to "share close TO
make ends meet" Were we getting q
salary that would warrant such u trip,
friend Fingers invitation would certain
ly be accepted, and we would spend n
week studying the excellencics of the
public schools of the city by the sea.
