Lafagan'S Logic.

Always appear to agree with the
world, and you will get on smoothly
without soaping the track.
In itself lying is a base passion, but
its tendency to injure others renders
it also a dangerous one.
Profit by others success and fail

less than club rates.
Decorum itself is simply good sense
and goodwill, but society often ruins
it by empty ceremonies.
1t isn't always the man who know
the most that wins, but the man who
can apply what he does know.
So long as woman is on friendly
terms with modesty just SO long is
woman indicated and no longer.

Normal Institute.

The institute for this year is now a
thing Of the past. and in this, our last ar
ticle, We wish to call attention to some
things that we overlooked in our former
articles. In justice to Prof. Combs, we
wish to Say that, in his classes in physi-
ology and philosophy, he endeavored to
make every thing as plain as possible by
actual experiments. Before the class in
physiology, there was considerable dis
secting done, using such parts of different
animals as could be obtained at the
butcher shop and elsewhere; some Of the
more interesting being heart, lungs,
head, and one dog, which was chloro-
formed and dissected, so as to show the
positions of the internal organs and the
moliua OF the heart. The effect of nico-
tine was tried on cat, and produced
daath ia about half q minute.
The certificates granted at the close of
the normal we're as follows: First grade
J. B. Kershner, Nina E. York, F. G..
Bower, R. F. Malaby and Mary A.
McCully. Second grade-Sara Brooks,
VIM. Bower, J. E. Carr, w. C. Meyer,
w. h Robinson, Hattie Zellers, Mary O.
Shepherd, Elsie Pershing, Anna Balm,
Jennie Willie. T. McNelley and Effie
Ghent. Third grade-Minnie Staplin,
J. II. Dean, J. Il. Miller, Anna A. Sweet,
Laura Marquand, Becky Walker, Ira
Upehaw and Elise Neuenschwander.

dealer of Chattanooga, Tenn, writes that

cured by use of few bottles. Since
which time he has used it in his family
for all coughs and colds with best re-
suits. This is the experience of thous-
ands whose lives have been saved by this
