THE coMMANDERY DRILLS

ST. LOUIS, September 22d.-It lacked but
fifteen minutes of noon when the signal for
the Conclave drill to begin was sounded.
and DeMolay ~Commandery, of Louisville,
marched to the parade grounds greeted by
the most enthusiastic applause of from
$4,000 to 10000 people who had crowded
all the accessible land some apparently
inacceSsiole) points Of observati IN. The
parade ground had been trodden into a
field of mud, rendering the performance of
hresome. However, the tactics were closely
followed, and the more notable figures and
movements were greeted with liberal APP
plause. Following the DeMolay's retire
ment, Zion, No. 9, of Minnea lolis, took
the ground, making an excellent impress
sion on its approach. Notwithstanding the
disadvantage under which they were placed.
the members of Zion Commandery elected
loud and frequent applause by their superb
drilling to the tune of q" Old Kentucky
Home Louisville C~ommandery, No. l.,
then marched upon the field, making a
most favorable impression. The scene at
l o'clock was most brilliant. The weather
was perfect. a good breeze was STIRRING, the
sun was shining brightly, and the condi-
ioGs were in every way favorable to the
fullest and most complete enjoyment of the
occasion. Every available spot in seeing
distance of the parade grounds was packed
with spectators. Che Knightly uniforms
and brilliant colors of the ladies' costumes
united 10 make a picture most beautiful
and imposing. The Commandery drills
lasted until nearly 1 o'clock.

DOING NOTHING.

1t is natural for the mind to think.
The mind can rot exist without thought.
Activity is a law of nature, and also a
law of the mind. There ia no absolute
rest in nature. Neither mind nor matter
absolutely rests. Doing nothing is the
hardest kind of work. The teacher who
is engaged in active school work for nine
or ten months during the year, will not
enjoy himself by neglecting all books
during vacation. The mind must do
something. 1t will not be silent; and
how much better to employ the mental
vigor intelligently, than to reyel in the
flight of the imagination.
As the mind can not sleep, it should
always be employed. Rest is found only
by a change of work A student or
teacher will find more genuine rest in a
well-selected library than in trying to do
nothing. 1t should not be necessary for
any one to stop work and 60 to the woods
or mountains to rest BY judicious ex.
ercise, both the mind and the body be.
come stronger.
Mechanics do not leave their work and
spend several months in recreation.
They work year after year, and do not
even complain of being tired. Why
should it not be the case with mental
workers? The arm OF tho mechanic be-
comes stronger Ivy the exercise and is
less easily tired; 80 the mind of the
student should become more vigorous,
and be better prepared to pursue all in
vcstigations. Less worry and more sys-
tematic work add much to the health and
happiness of teachers. None can rest by
doing nothing, but by working wisely

Trouble in the Ranks.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. S.-The trouble
among the textile workers in this city is
not vet ended, Notwithstanding Mr.. Pow.
dery's order, directing the strikers at
Troth's mill to return to work. The
Ma .ufacturers' Association had threat
ened a general lock out of the employees
in all mills, unless the differences OF
Troth's mill were satisfactorily adjusted:
This lockout, which would have effected
$4,000 persons, who, the manufactures
claim, were supporting the strikers, was
ayer.ed by Mr. Powderly agreeing with
the manufacturers that all questions ex'
cept that of wages should be dropped,
and that pending settlement OF the
wages question, the Troth employees
would be ordered to return to work.
Members of the local assemblies claim
that MIR. Powderly exceeded his authori.
ty, and they contend that their demand
for the discharge of an Objectionable
superintendent, and other grievances
should be considered as. we'll as the ques.
ton of wages. Only two OF the ten
female workers ordered back at Troth's
returned to work to day, and this, it is
said, will place the local assemblies in
direct antagonism with the General Ex'
ecutiye Board of the Knights of Labor.
Local assembly No. 1898 will hold a
meeting, and should they decide to con-
tnuc the strike, the charter of the assem-,
bly will no doubt he declared forfeited by
the Executive Board. in which case, il

The Point of Death.

Although usually it is easy to tell when
dissolution has occurred, yet there are
cases which occur from time to time
rendering the matter one of very grave
uncertainty. The poin! at which the
soul relinquishes the body is among the
most difficult things to establish. Per.
haps this uncertainty is one OF the reasons
why there is so much curiosity as to
death. beds and last words. We are anx.
ious to know how affairs appear to those
vino are passing away. They are under
going the greatest change through which
every one must pass.
How does it look to them? Very little
more information is to be gathered from
the dying than from the dead. Certain
iDferences may be drawn from the sur.
roundiugs-the departing color, the cold,
deepening stare, the grosn, the rattle in
the throat, the stifening limbs; but they
are as likely to mislead as not. And the
same may be said of the death sayings.
They are as enigmatic as the declarations
of the oracles. We may take sometimes
half dozen meanings from them as, for
instance, Geethe's "More light" Was
it the sense of earthly darkness growing
around him, or was it the breaking of the
eternal light upon his vision, or was there
yet some deeper significance in the ex'
clamation?
Medical works show that people have
been resuscitated fifteen, twenty and even
thirty minutes after apparent death;
Heldon, the highwayman, is said to
have been in three.quarters OF an hour.
His body was cut down after hanging
that length of time, and was handed over
to his friends after thorough examina'
tion. That night he was seen as we'll as
ever except for stiffness of the neck.
Pryce, the Norwich miser, was dead as
Caesar, according to those about him, and
until some thoughtful person, distrusting
the warmth of his hands, administered
stimulant. He arose and lived years
afterward. Cases of mere trance are
almost innumerable.
Supposed deaths from drowning show
that resuscitation may take place thirty
or forty minutes after all life has appar-
emily left the body. The question as to
what becomes of the soul in this long
interval is one which puzzles many. But
the chief point of the matter is that the
physicians and friends should not too
readily accept appearances in the critical
hour. There may be, as IN the Fraser
instance, be yet some spark of life re-
naming. AS DR.. Lackerstein claims,
there is absolutely no reason why, with
the resources he empolyed at hand, anyone
should die OF an overdose of chlorotorm
or from shock while undergoing sur.
gical operation.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1886-11-18

Again would we urge upon our teach
ers the importance Of taking, ana the
still more imperative duty of closely
reading, some frst.class educational
Journal. There was time when school
teachers thought it ridiculous for one of
their profession to seek information as to
the art Of imparting instruction, or to
even admit that they die not. know as
much as some body else. That time has
passed. School teachers are seeking light !;
they want it from whatever source it may
come. We have begged our teachers to
call here for sample copies of educational
journals, such papers as will give positive
assistance to any earnest pedagogue.
Some have called. Others are indiffer-
ent to the invitation: they neither call
nor send. Then the conclusion is plain
they don't want light and help, or they
have already q sufficient supply. We
call in vain for expressions Of opinion as
to the helps they have. They are be.
wildered by what they have, or are
ashamed to acknowledge that they have
sought it. AS q matter of course every
teacher ought to have the Carolina Tach-
er, his own State organ, and very ex.
cellent paper withal-the November
number abounds in rich suggestions. OF
the others that find their way to this
Office, we value most highly the Teachers
Institute, SO often noticed in this Column
before. 1t fairly bristles with valuable
and absolutely indispensable hints as to
school management and the best manner
of imparting instruction. a single copy
is worth ten times the cost of the paper
for year. Again we insist that every
teacher call at this Office, or send some
one for sample copy of the papers sent
here. Mr.. j. G. Stribling is the agent
for the Carolina Teacher. The Teachers
Institute has no agent in this County.
For that, address E. L. Kellogg & Co.,
25 Clinton Place, New York.
