Death of A. l. Greer.

The Chase County (Kan.) Leader
contained the following notice Of
the death of A. L. Greer, son OF s.
L. Greer, of FriendsviIle, Blount
County:
"On Saturday morning, the 18th,
the many friends of A. l.. Greer
were panied TO hear the sad but not
unexpected news of his death. Mr..
Greer came here from Tennessee
last April and in October COM
menced teaching the Canaan
school. He was greatly loved and
respected by the pupils and patrons
of the school. He was a talented
young man and made many friends
among the teachers Of the county
and seemed to have a bright future
before him. But, during holidays
he was taken with inflammatOry
rheumatism, and after five weeks
of sickness passed to a brighter
shore.
During his sickness he had The
care of the kindest of friends and
the best medical attendance, but
the disease went to his heart and
proved fatal. On Monday at p. m.
his remains we've followed 10 the
Friends church, the funeral sermon
was preached, and then followed 10
their last resting-place in the
Friends cemetery by $50 or 500
people. Toledo, Stafford and Ca
naan schools were closed in respect
to the departed, and six of the pu-
pills from his school (Canaan) acted
as pall-bearers. AS his remains
were lowered into the grave few
eyes remained undimmed for the
loss of this bright young life in the
full bloom of youth, and each heart
went out in sympathy for the be-
reaved family in their far away
Tennessee home. Playmate of my
youth, and friend of maturer years,
thou art gone; but thy memory and
example remain as an emblem and
a guide to a better land.

A Kitchen Garden" Cooking Class.
New York Times.l

For some time there has been in con.
nection with the Olivet Industrial
school "kitchen garten" class, where,
with miniature utensils, the children
have been instructed in table setting
and dish washing, bed-making and
sweeping, laundry work and scrubbing,
all done to the accompaniment OF music
and songs. Owing to the impetus
given 10 all k nds of industrial training
by the lniustrial Education association,
an advanced course in domestic econ
omy has been established during the
past year, which has been attended
with the most gratifying results.
From the use of these miniature
utensils, and following the lessons in
Domestic Economy" a text book pre-
pared by the Industrial Education asso-
citation, the children are being trained
in practical homework. AbedrOom with
all the necessary accessories has been
fitted up, where chamberwork, bed
making, sweeping, and busting are
actually performed by the children. A
dining table and service is arranged and
served by the children, thus practically
teaching them the necessities of skillful.
deft handed waiting, and the care of
table linens, china, and silver. Real
dish washing and the care and cleanli-
ness Of kitchen utensils also form part
of the instruction.
The last and most advanced course in
domestic economy is the teaching of
practical cooking, including the prepare
ton of simple dishes which are within
reach of the poorest families, and whose
nutritious properties are so much in
creased by proper cooking. The father
of one of the children trained at the
Olivet cooking school said: mo need
for me to 60 out for supper Sunday
night now, my little girl makes so many
nice dishes she learned at the cooking
school" A class has also been formed
for older girls and married women.

III ArgoHdutl
, It is recorded of an eminent Anglo
Indian barrister that, after having mar
rowly watched the demeanor of the &C.
cupants of the treasury bench in the
house of commons under question fire
at highly critical juncture of foreign
politics, he muttered to himself and to
the extreme surprise of his next-door
neighbor under the gallery, what a
pity it is that the beggars wear boots
and stockings" To the inquiries of his
friend-a staunch ministerialist-as to
his meaning he returned evasive ad-
swers, and it was only upon reference
to a professional colleague of the
learned gentleman that the mysterious
utterance was explained.
The eminent advocate, it seemed, was
accustomed to attribute his marvellous
success in the cross examination of native
witnessesto his practice of intently watch
ing their naked feet. els experience was,
he declared, that the workings of an in
ventive imagination, though they might
leave no trace whatever on the trained
countenance of the Oriental fabulist,
were almost always to be detected in the
twitchings of his toes

How Sand Dunes are Formed.
[The independently

Along the shores of Lake Michigan,
as well as along the ocean shores Of the
north Atlantic states, observers must
have often been struck by the wonder
full hillocks of sand, evidently gathered
together and held in place by vegeta-
ton. The plant grows. Sand blows in
between the growth and settles there
again there is growth, and more sand
is blown in and retained, until we have
hillock many feet high, limited only
by the capacity of the plant to grow
above the gathered sand. So far as we
know, these have been the only factors
to which are referred the building up
of these sand dunes.
In some cases one might suppose that
dry sand, blowing in between branches,
might readily blow out again; but SC
far as the records show, such thought
has not seriously impressed any one; yet
it is clear on reelection that there are a
number of sea side or lake shore plants
which do not gather sand, though their
ability to gather sand and retain il
would seem to be equal to those
which do.
Mr.. +. A. Paley speaks of the ammo
phila arenaria, the well known sand
gathering grass of Europe as we'll as OF
American coasts, in which he records
his observations, conclusively showing a
power to draw up moisture from the
roots to the surface, which is then given
out to the sand. The sand is moistened
several inches away from each stem
(which, in this grass, he holds to be a
thickened involute leaf. 1t is this
moistened sand which catches and holds
the drier that is blown over onto it.
Thousands of these involute leaves
grow in one spot, each giving forth its
moisture, and adding power to retain
the sara
