sonal oifense for any shoemaker or human
being to compress the human foot one iota

course this would involve inspectorships,

grave doubts, however, regarding the prac-
ticality OF this last feature.
There is no question, however. but that

not related by marriage to the teacher, a
judicious plan will be torespectfully request
the lady to bare her foot, which she will
willingly do. The teacher is then to draw
a bill of large denomination from his
pocket, and doubling it thrice, insert it be
tween the great toe and its neighbor. He
may safely offer to give the bill to the pupil
if it falls out of its own accord from be-
tween the toes. This experiment, which is
much recommended by Mr.. Sarony, the pho
tOgrapher, is, however, only safe i'll case
teacher and pupil arenot married to each
other, as in this latter case there will in
variably be a falling out, no matter with

OPENING OF W. W. COLES GREAT CIR
CUs.-oPINIoN OF THE SHOW BY A
PROMINENT ST. LOUIS CRITIC.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat of April
21st, gives an exhaustive description of
w. w. Coles colossal shows, and in the
course of the review are found the follow
| ing pleasant remarks from the pen of Sam
F. Cary, the famous st. Louis critic. He
says:
1.-The attendance at the initial enter
tainment yesterday afternoon was large,
while the crowd at the evening perform
ance filed the spacious tents to overflow
| ing. The splendid and startling acts wit
messed in the three rings at once were
equal to anything ever presented in the
city. The secret of the success of the
Cole shows is in the entirely new features
offered each year. The performances
yesterday contradict emphaticalfy the oft
repeated assertion that 'circuses are all
the same The public have almost been
persuaded that there is nothing new in a
ring show. Mr.. Cole has done everything
possible to dispel such Impressions by en-
gaglng for this season the best artists of
every cline. A first-class entertainment.
such as characterized this shows opening.
is advertised by those who viewed it, and
Mr.. Cole is sure to reap a rich harvest
during the remaining days of his stay in
the city. 1t is not sufficient to say that
the audiences were pleased they were de-
lighted, and gave expression to their ap-
proval in demonstrated applause. Nor is
it necessary to detail the individual per-
formers when there was such transcen-
dental excellence. Each was a star in a
particular line, but the marvellous ceiling
walking of Mile. Annie, who is appropri-
ately styled the Human Fly excited the
utmost establishment. The troupe of
leaping and tumbling exhibitions, which
were no less remarkable than their feats
OF herculean strength and picturesque
groupings in the form of pyramids. Other
new features added this season are troupe
OF Mexicans, who give realistic pictures of
Mexican vacquero life, which are decidedly
interesting; the wonderful horse. Blon-
din, that walks the tight-rope, and the
singular bovine freak. the living COW with
two distinct and fully developed heads.
The show contains a host of fine athletes
and galaxy of graceful riders, ladies and
gentlemen. The horsemanship Of Leon,
who stands among the first equestrians,
was one of the praiseworthy features of an
entertainment startling in novelty, end
less in variety and of absorbing interest.
The menagerie has been strengthened
since last season by the addition Of anum-
Der of rare ANIMALS, and this department
is made more attractive by the daring of
George Conklin who enters several dens
of wild beasts and goes through regular
performance with the forest-bred tigers
and leopards The seating arrangements
under the mammoth tents are admirable,
and good view of the several rings can
be had in any part.
Those who want to see circus, in every
respect what it is represented to be, will
have the opportunity to do so on Thurs
day, August 9th.

Normal Notes.

We failed to give an account Of the clos
Ing Of the Normal in our last issue owing
to the pressure upon our columns. The
final exercises were held in the LIST Bap-
list Church. Prof. Broyles, Supt. of
Schools in Page county, delivered the fare
well address in short, pointed and adj
mirable effort. Prof. Winston being called
for came forward and read note, signed
by the ladies attending the Normal. ex-
pressing their thanks to Prof. IL. Sheffey
Roller for his many acts of kindness and
untiring efforts to make the visitors stay
pleasant and happy. Continuing, Prof.
Winston said he expressed the opinion OF
himself and associates, as in fact OF all the
visitors, when he said that he had never
seen any man come up equal to the occa-
sion as did Prof. Roller. His display of
forbearance and patience, courtesy and
Kindness he never saw equaled-and when
the arduous task of putting up and con-
Quoting the examinations came, he felt
sure he would break down, but to his sur
prise and qualification he SCENE to put on
renewed strength and yigor and showed
himself not only equal to. but master Of
the laborious task.
. Prof Roller replied to the compliments.
in a stirring speech of five minutes, and
after many God speeds and good-byes, NC,
the Normal adjourned.
We are gratified to know that our es-
teemed townsman, Mr. j. l.. Hutchens,
received the highest vote cast, being more
than double that received by any of the
others voted for. for one OF the so prize
certificates awarded by the Supt. of Public
Instructlonof Va, to the most proficient
teachers in attendance. And we'll he de-
serves it, as he is considered one OF the
best teachers in the Public Schools of
Virginia.
