EXAMINATIONS.

Several schools have finished up a
months work. Have the teachers made
any effort to ascertain what progress has
been made? Various plans are recon-
mended. Some mark every recitation,
running the scale from one to ten, or
from one to one hundred some have
tried and are pleased with the plan of
giving the pupil credit at the end of each
recitation for every question answered !;
and others rely solely upon the monthly
examinations as a test of proficiency
Whatever plan may be practiced for
keeping the daily record of the pupil
the monthly or quarterly examinations
are necessary. They are wonderfully
stimulating to the pupil. Our own ex'
perience and observation fastens upon US
the belief that they are indispensable.
The oral examination is better than none
at all, but the written, we think, is much
more satisfactory to teacher and pupil. 1t
puts all the class on equal footing, one
with the other, and, for many reasons,
ensures q safer and surer test Of prof.
cheney. We know some persons argue
that examinations take up too much
time from the regular routine work. We
have long since been soundly convinced
that it is time we'll spent, and that as a
means for riveting upon the attention OF
the child what he has already learned no
other exercise will take its place.

Gossip FiendS.

The meanest all people is the gossip,
one who goes about and knows more
about the affairs of his neighbors than
they know about their own. Never
mind how ill.news is to be got, whether
from servants or by prying, the gossip
will have it. Such people are to be
little trusted in anything. They car:
tainly mean no good to anyone and
society should SHUT down on them abso-
lutely. A person who IS always looking
out for the short comiugs of their neigh
bors and telling each one MT, in strict
confidence, of these short comipgs, has a
heart that is not free from blackness and
one that is utterly devoid of Christian
grace and benevolence. Gossips never
repeat anything that is good Of anyone,
but they are careful to paint the short
comings of their neighbors in vivid col.
ors. Too often does the gossip, under the
guise of friendship, give the deepest
stabs to their friends and neighbors.
No such person should be SLOWED to en-.
ter the house Of Il respectable person
nay they should be shunncd by everyone
and make to feel the odiousness Of their
position. We have the utmos, contempt
and loa.hing for any person WHO is always
p-ying out disagtceable things about
others and telling them as though he was
doing great public service. We all
have short comiugs enough without look.
ing after those OF anyone. No one pos.
sessed with this desire for gossip, can
have one true spark of christianity in his
heart. The or. at delight Of the gossip
is to inure the reputation of some one.
They desire TO pull all down to their
owu low sphere. --.lJ6cciNe Melinm.

A Wonderful Electric Fit.

SHARON, Ga, November "a. A WON
derful electric pit, recently discovered
three miles from this place, is effecting
hundreds of cures from Rheumatism.
A farmer, named Hillman, was prospect
ing for gold. In little bend of Har.
den's creek, where the bank rises abrupt
ly, Mr.. Hillman observed some strange
discoloration of the soil. He began
digging, and finally desisted when he
could discover no metallic deposit. A
negro who was aiding Hillman had long
been afflicted with rheumatism, he motto.
ed that whenever he handled the cozy
clay in the pit that the muscles of his
hands relaxed, permitting him to use
them with all natural ease. When Hill.
man abandoned the pit, disappointed in
search for gold, his employee left it sur
prised at his freedom from the rheuma.
tism of years. The story soon spread,
and people began making Sunday visits
to the strange spot. Rheumatics resorted
thereto and began to confirm the expert.
ence of Hillman's servant. Mr.. j. P.
Moore, well.to.do farmer, who for
years had been unable to use his hands,
after burying them twice in the soft mud
of the pit, found them fully restored to
usefulness. A we'll known white lady
from Warren County, who was badly
drawn up, visited the pit and walked
away, declaring herself cured. Charles
Galloway, colored, who for ten years
walked on crutches, after one visit 10 the
spot left his crutches behind him and
walked home. The most wonderful cure
related is that of colored house servant
of Gen. Heard. This woman was per-
feet wreck from rheumatism. A year
ago she went to bed, and since has had
to be waited upon like child. When
the virtues of the pit were first mooted,
her friends concluded to try it. The
woman was carried on her bed to the
spot, where she was rubbed over with the
mud twice. The result was that the
woman who had thus been carried tDthe-
spot took up her bed and walked Iome.
The spot is dense thicket, rendered
almost impenetrable by laurel growth.
Hundreds Of people are resorting thither
rs matter Of curiosity. The water
flows in sufficiently to keep the clay in
waxy condition. BY applying this clay
10 the parts afflicted it welds some kind
of influence which offers relief. The
only theory advanced is that the mud
must be charged with electricity sufficient
to effect the cures mentioned.

Who will give us any remedies? Who

Who will give us any remedies? Who
will pay our debts? or lend us money at
5 per cent, instead of ten? or teach
economy any faster than necessity? We
are all looking for better things when
trade revives; but when will that be-?
Our revival will never come until we can
get profit of $40 a bale, instead of 25
out of cotton. l have mentioned three
great evils under which we labor. They
are incontrovertibe. But most certainly
have not mentioned the greatest OF all,
ard that is, we make too much cotton.
So long as we make million bales more
than the world wants at 10 cents, we will
get 10 cents for none. We live by
cotton, it is our life blood. The control
of the market is to US Of the very great
est value; financially worth everything
else besides. But how reduce the crop ?
BIZ combination of cotton growers? !?
That is impossible. Providence has pro-
tected us in some measure"
Captain Hammond thinks there is but
one remedy for the trouble, and this he
thinks no politician living will dare pro.
pose and those that are dead would
tremble in their graves at the thought.
1t is concurrent legislation among the
larger cotton States. South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi. Louis'ana,
Arkansas and Texas, limiting the plant
ing of cotton so as to bring the crop
within 100000 bales for three years at
least. He admits that legislation of this
character in England has been disastrous,
almost without an exception, but three
years trial here, attended with little or no
risk, would demonstrate its wisdom.
In conclusion, Captain Hammond
shows that if the Mason Cotton Harvester
is 6, success the great West will food the
markets of the world with cotton which
cost to make less than one half cent per
pound or 240 bale, and says:
This is no chimera or picture of the
fancy, but its day may be so near that
men now old will live to see it. Then
poor old South Carolina, robbed of the
profits of her rice culture by Louisiana,
and of her Sea Island cotton by Florida
and other States along with her, may
have written over the ruins of their once
brilliant systems of agriculture, fms.
I have barely touched on the most
important points contained in this re-
markably interesting article of Capt.
Hammond. 1t is without doubt an able
and thoughtful production fitted with orig
insl ideas and entcrtainingly written. 1t
will more than repay.carcfnl perusal by
any one interesting in agriculture or in
the development Of our agriculture inter-
ests. 1t gains additional value from the
fact that its author is one of the most
advanced thinkers in the Sauth and
successful planter. HIGHLAND.

An Ape MS a Switchman.

Two years ago, says writer in the
Omaha Bee, when l was in South Africa
for New York firm of exporters, | was
informed that eight miles up the raj
road, which runs from Capetown north,
there was trained ape which acted as
a switch man, and drew regular salary
for his master,
Of course believed the story to be a
canard, but felt that it was worth while
investigating. stopped at little sta,
ton on the railroad in Cape Colony, and
was directed to a small switch house 200
yards up the track from the place where
the train had stopped. The switch ten.
der was sitting outside the door in an arm
chair. and by his side stood, or rather
crouched, an enormous African ape,
which was fully five feet high when
erect.
AS the switch tender arose to answer
my inquiry, noticed that he was armless.
I asked him whether it was true that his
ape performed the duties of switchman,
and was tod to watch for five minutes
aud see for myself. a few minutes later
the rumbling noise of all approaching
train was heard. As the noise increased,
the ape jumped from his crouching posi-
ton and accompanied the switchman to
the place where the white arm of the
switch stood thrown to the left.
At signal from the switchman, the
ape jumped forward, seized the key
unlocked the paddock which held the
switch in position, and, grasping the le-
yer with his muscular arm. threw it to
the right. The train dashed over the
switch to the sidetrack of the station,
and in second the switch was thrown
back into position, and the ape again to
his seat by his master to wait further
orders.
1t was certainly wonderful perform.
ance, and I would not have believed it
unless l had seen it. The man informed
me tina: he lost his arms in railroad
accident while employed by the company
as a switch tender. During the five
years previous 10 the accident he had
trained the ape more as matter of re.
creation and to employ his leisure time
while stationed at that lonely outpost of
the Capetown Railway.
The work of amusement turned him in
good stead when he was able to satisfy
the company that without arms he could
as fully pro otect its interests as when be
was in possession of those limbs. For
more than two years the ape had performed
the duties of switchman aud had never
made a mistake. More than this, the
ape was trained to feed his master. as

Where Is Heaven Z

The singular question was put to Sam
Jones, the evangelist, by one of his
wealthy Church members in Georgia,
whose cotton crop yielded him some
$4,000 the last year. where is heav-
en-? said The rich planter.
"I'll tell you where heaven is" said
Mr.. Jones. "If you will 60 down to the
village, and buy fifty dollars worth of
groceries, put them in wagon and take
them to the poor widow on the hillside,
who has three OF her children sick. She
is poor and is member of the Church.
Take with you nurse, and some one to
cook their meals. When you get there,
read the twenty third Psalm, and kneel
by her side and pray; then you will find
out where heaven is.
Next day as the evangelist was walking
through the village, he met this same
wealthy planter, his face beaming with
ioy. lie spoke after this manner:
"Mr. Jones, Eve found ont where
heaven is. went and did as you direct.
ed me. We took up tho wagon load of
groceries and the poor widow was com,
p!clely overcome with joy; she could not
express her thank fulncss. As read to
her the twcnty-third Psalm my heart was
filled with thankfulness to God, and
when prayed, the angels came down,
and | thought / was nearer 10 heaven
than ] had ever been in my life | left
the nurse and lhr cook in her humble
dwelling and promised her she should
never suffer 50 long AS ! could help her"

REVIEWS.

The best educators recommend frequent
reviews. One has said, 81 know my own
name perfectly because have heard it
called 80 often" That illustration is
common place, but loses none of its force
for that. The teacher, perhaps more
than any other, must learn how to give
fine upon line and precept upon pre-
cept" We read an article once and un-
derstand it in part only, perhaps we read
it the second time and get its meaning
thoroughly. The same principle applies
in both cases. The child gets partial,
or indefinite, idea of lesson or subject
on first going over it, but let him try it
again and it becomes clear and takes
deeper hold upon his understanding.
The first blowing of field will not pull,
verize the soil thoroughly. Give it the
second and third turning and the par
ticles become smaller and smaller.
In conducting reviews, however, there
is one danger to be guarded. Children
are apt to think that there is litsle use
for study, inasmuch as they made a
good recitation on going over the subject
the first time. The painstaking teacher
must exercise this inventive genius in
de7i.ing some plan for convincing the
student that there are valuable nuggets
of pure gold at the bottom of The lesson
something beneath the surface.
After students have made considerable
advancement in school and are deyotipg
their energies to the study of the classics
it is we'll to have regular weekly review
lessons in grammar, geography, history
and arithmetic. Keep them fresh and
bright in these bra ches A young man
who made application for a cadetship in
the South Carolina Citadel, but failed in
the competitive examination, made this
remark subsequently to the writer: 81
see my mistake now; I paid no attention
to the regular review lessons in history
and geography last year. thought it
was unnecessary and went through the
exercise mechanically" Some of us
who are not school-boys sometimes learn
things too late. The young mans expe.
rience was simply repetition of the ex-
perience of many who are much further
advanced in life than he. Truth learned
late, however, is much better than truth
never learned.

CuriOsities Suicide.

Suicide is not necessarily an evidence
of insanity. In early history self de.
struction was considered an evidence Of
courage, and death was preferred to dis
honor. This principle was inculcated by
the philosophy of the time, and often
self.immolation constituted part of its
religion. Suicides were committed
anciently (I) to avoid pain Of body and
mind; (2), to vindicate honor; (9), as
an example to others. Two of the most
distinguished men of antiquity, Brutus
and Cassius, sacrificed their own lives ;
so did Mark Antony and Cleopatra.
After Antony's death, Cleopatra visited
his tomb, over which she poured bitter
lamentations, saying, Glide me, hide me
with thee in the grave; for life, since
thou has left it, has been misery to me-"
Sho then sat down to magnificent sup
per, after which peasant came to the
gate with basket OF figs covered with
leaves, and concealed under the leaves
the asp which she applied to her bosom.
Samson, Saul and Judas Iscariot are
examples of suicide. Suicide was adyo-
Gated by the distinguished philosopher
Epictetus, who said: "If you like not
life, you can leave it; the door is open
get you gone! But little smoke should
not frighten away it should be endured
and will thereby be often surmounted." 7"
Zenc, the founder of the Stoics, as he
was leaving school one day, fell, put a
finger out of joint, and went home and
hanged himself. 1t appears that the
Roman laws respecting suicide were made
in consideration of how suicide would
affect the treasury, and the magistrate
had The power to refuse or permit suicide /;
and if il could not be shown that he was
suffering at the time from great grief,
misfortune or madness, it was deemed a
capital offence, and death was the punish
m ment In the island of Ceos the magis-
trate had the power of deciding whether
q person had sufficient reason for killing
himself A poison was kept for that
purpose, which was given to the appli-
cant who made out his case. Thousands
have annually sacrificed their lives by
throwing themselves under the wheels of
the idol Juggernaut. A sort of fasciDa-
ton sometimes leads 10 suicide, as is seen
i'll those who jump from heights, as tow
ers, precipiccs, etc. The coolest attempt
at suicide, perhaps, on record, is one
related Of an Euglishman who advertised
that he would on a certain day put him
self to death in Convent Garden, London,
for the benefit of his wife and children.
