Mice and Margarine.

An English analyst recently received
twelve specimens of supposed butter,
which he was supposed to analyze to dis
cover which was pure and which was
oleomargarine. After taking what he
wanted he set the twelve plates in his
laboratory. Next morning the butter
had disappeared from ten and on two it
remained. These two were adulterated
and the others pure. Suspecting mice,
he set out other plates, some containing
pure and some adulterated in various de-
grees. Again the pure butter was cleared
away, the slightly adulterated half eaten
and the much adulterated only nibbled.

Germany's Potato Crop.

Germany, in her crop worn fields and
her clumsy, old fashioned agricultural
way, raises six times many potatoes as
the United States, and, though she con-
sumes enormous quantities, has a large
share to dispose of, much ofwllich comes
to the United States. American farmers
are not p,tato raisers; they seem to think
the crop takes too much work to the
acre. But the yield is comparatively
heavy, and so long as not enough can be
produced to meet the demand there is
money in potato culture.-Cincinnat

formation Of Mountains.

= NJ. Faye, the well known French
astronomer, has drawn attention at a re-
cent meeting of the French Academy of
Sciences, to the apparent geological law
that the cooling of the terrestrial crust
goes on more rapidly under the sea than
with land surface. Hence he argues
that the crust must thicken under oceans
at more rapid rate, and so give rise to
a swelling up and distortion of the thinner
portions Of the crust-in other words, to
the formation of mountain chains

Caught n Piclkpocket.

~ A strange experience Of the pocket
picking world occurred some twenty
years ago. 1t was at Naples. People
generally in those days carried silk pocket
handkerchiefs instead of the scraps of
muslin which are affected nowaday. An
American then at Naples, from whom five
silk pocket handkerchiefs were distracted
in as many days, sewed strongly into the
interior of his pocket large fish hook.
The result which he anticipated followed.
The thief's hand was caught, and the
American, turning sharply, seized him
Ivy the wrist and held him in n grasp like
wise till he could hand him over to a
gendarme. But within a fortnight that
American was stabbed to the heart as he
was going home one night from the
theatre. Argonaut.

Utilizing Small Coal.

Foreign. exchanges note the fact that
the utilization of small coal, known as
"slack," "dross," ETC., by being manu-
facutured into briquettes or blocks of
compressed fuel is making considerable
progress in England. For household
and other purposes briquettes are grow
ing rapidly in favor. In France and
Belgium this has been an important in
dustry for many years, and recently
Germany has made great strides in this
direction, and even threatens to intro
duce her briquettes in England.-Public

There is no better school system than

to attend. The county superintendent

The normal institute conducted by Supt.
Walker assisted by PrOfs. Sullivan and
McDougal last year was SO successful
that at the opening of the institute this
year above 60 were enrolled, which num-
Der increased during the term to nearly
100 teacher pupils. The institute was

that purpose, and well and nObly have

of those attending our institute have
schools engaged in this or adjoining
counties. Supt. Walker informs us that
there are s. organized school districts in
the county. and that the wages paid aver
age from $2j to $45 per month. Our
school system is yet in its infancy. and
our citizens are not of the most wealthy,
vet they manifest great interest in school
work. The standard of both teachers
and wages is steadily on the increase and
within very few years still more compe-
tent teachers will be employed at higher
compensation. The amount of the gen.
eral State school fund for this year, will
be about $500, for Thomas county, the
first half of which has been received, and
will at once be appOrtioned to the vari-

generally begin throughout the county
between the 3rd and 10th of Sept.
