The forenoon was devoted to the examine

through critical examination, to the ex-
pressed satisfaction Of all present. AT ~
O'Clock the trustees announced dinner. The
scholars were formed in double column,
with banners, and marched down to the creek
where tables groaning under the weight OF
the good things of life awaited them, After
all present, about 200 persons, had partaken
of the bouhtles OF the table, the scholars
marched to the grove, where they had some
nice deelamatlons Gov Huston, of Six

splendid OTation on the Importance of ed

The Early Fruit and Vegetable
Trade.
New OrIeans Tmes: :Demoorat,

New Orleans Times Democrat,
We have frequently written of the
rapid growth of the early fruit and
vegetable industry in the South and
the bright promises it offers for the
future; and we learn with regret, there
fore, that it has been seriously checked
and endangered, especially along
the Southern Atlantic coast, by exees-
siVe railroad rates. In Southern
Georgia, for instance, the melon crop
is an important one, and formerly
yielded handsome profit, but this
year the roads have put up rates, poGk-
eted the entire profit on the crop, and
left the farmer without cent. A
sample ease is the shipment of car
load of melons from Albany, Ga, to
Cincinnati - net value of melons
500, freight $50, leaving the producer
but Sll with which to pay for raising
the crop loading aud unloading and
selling. There is not much profit it
is needless to say, in business con
dNStEu Ou bulh baSl5' Nv Ablaukd
Constitution, which investigated the
matter, interviewed the railroad peo-
pie, heard their side of the case and
Weighing the testimony pro and con,
gives its views as follows:
"0ur opinion is that the melon
growers have been robbed on the
most hIgh,handed manner. What do
our railroad friends think about it 2
Can they invent a milder term 7 If so,
we have hopes that they can invent q
milder process ~
This Is strong but not too strong.
1t will be we'll for the railroads to
hearken to word Of advice. From
the days Of Hsop it has been a bad
policy to kill the goose that lays a
golden egg. They can kill the truck
farming and early fruit and vegetable
business by excessive freight rates, but
they will destroy thereby an industry
which gives them freight at a season
Of the year when there is little else
doing, and when they are glad TO get
anything to haul. Y

French Duty on Eatables.

One of the greatest impositions in Paris

ables collected at the various barriers or
gates. As each market cart passes through

stopped and a small tax charged on each
and every article brought into Paris. The
same system is vigorously practiced for
all articles going out of Paris. Thu suburbs
are now composed Of some dozen town.

Cost of Making Pork,

While it is not true that the bulk of
corn fed to hogs does give IL return of ten
pounds of pork, live weight, to the bushel,
it is established that n bushci Of corn will
make that much and more, if properly
handled; and where it docs, the following
will serve IS a basis for calculations,
being approximately correct: Feeding
corr worth 12 1-2 cents per bushcl makes
pork costing 1 1-2 cents per pound; worth
II cents per bushel, 2 cents per pound;
% cents per bushel, 2 1-2 cents per pound;
80 to 40 cents per bushel, 4 cents per
pound: so cents per bushel, 5 cents per
pound. Or, pork at 5 cents per pound,
gross, gives so cents per bushel for corn;
at 4 cents per pound, gross, 33 to 40 cents
per bushel for eorn; and at 2 1-2 to Scents
per pound, gross, pork gives from % to3O
cents per bushel for corn.

TACT or Good Moral Taste the Secret of
Pleasing Manners.
No n with a delicate touch will try to
polish a piece of wood by rubbing it against
the grain. Neither will anybody c~onsiderate
OF a cats feelings stroke pussy's fur tho
wrong way. Men and women are of more
value than mahogany or cats, and should be
treated with a more delicate touch or tact
Tor tact is moral ~touch-even when we do
them good or confer on them q favor.
A person of tact is one who readily appre-
ciates and gracefully does what is required
by cIrcumstances-no more and no less. #
he does a neighborly act he takes care that
he does not burden the neighbor with a feel
ing OF obligation. Should he be made the
lid OF an angry friend, he listens, but
guards his lips, for be remembers the princi-
pie of the worldly wise author, who said:
Never join with your friend when he abuses
his horse or his wife, unless the one is about
to be sold or the other to be buried.n
A robust old gentleman gave his seat to a
lady who entered a crowded tram car.
Take my seat, sir, please; I never like to
see an old person stand, n said a young miss,
jumping up and offering her seat to the old
gentleman.
Her motive was kind, but her manner was
patronizing. It rebuked the lady for taking
the old gentleman's seat and it emphasized
her own youth and the gentleman's age. Had
she been a girl of tact she would have risen
with the old man and said, "Allow me, sir, to
offer the lady my seat"
An elderly lady standing in a tram car
was offered a seat by a young lady, who, ris-
ing, said, Il am younger than you; l will
stand"
"Suit yourself, = replied the lady, with en-
phatic b~rusqueness, for the drawing of the
line between her own age and the youth of
the other touched her pride.
She remained standing and the young lady
wondered, because she was not sufficiently
sensitive to be conscious of her own want Of
