a Florida Cat Drive.

The Florida wild cat, when fully grown,
weighs about so pounds, is as large as q
good sized fox hound, and when in full
chase of a pack of hounds is an object to
startle and bewildera Northern hunter.
With fur thrown back, claws extended,
leaping with great springs through forest
or swamp, the ordinary sportsman at the
first sight of the animal turns pale and
wants to leave .instanter. The cat will
attack sheep, lambs, young hogs and
poultry, but the human family, except
young and unprotected children, need
have no fear of him. I know ofno sport
so exciting and demanding effort so hard
and long continued as a "cat drive" The
hunting party having been agreed upon,
they meet an hour and a half before day.
light, mounted on their best horses and
attended by hounds, often to the number
of forty. The wild cat is generally found
foraging at this hour, and being surpris-
ed, runs quickly to the dover of the
nearest swamp or climbs tree. If he
seeks tree he is not shot, but the tree
is cut down or he is otherwise dislodged.
The hounds are held in leash until he
gets q good start, when the leader blows
bis horn and the pursuit is resumed. II
cat enters swamp 40 hounds follow
him there, and ultimately drive hin out,
and the hunting party, guided BY the
noise of the dogs, is ready to take up the
chase near the point where the game
emerges. And SO We go! Over the hills
and through the farms, jumping fences,
leapirg ditche.! No English fox hunt
can compare with the Florida Scat drive"
and few are the farmers who can resist
leaving team a.field and running to the
house for saddle when the baying OF
hounds and the blowing of horns tell that
"cat drive"i is on. The hounds ofevery
farmer hearing the din leave their ken.
nels, and are found loudest mouthed in
the pursuing pack. At last comes The
end, as all sports must end. After an all
days chase the wildcat, at four O'Clock in
the afternoon, or at FIVE o'clock at the
latest, can 20 little further. The snap.
ping jaws of the hounds come closer
and closer. He turns his glaring eyes a
moment behind him and staggers on.
The pack of dogs that had been in full
cry in the morning is now broken. Only
the hardy ones have kept up with the
long chase. Horses and riders are worn
aud jaded. The cat can run no more.
He prepares to battle for his life. He
turns on his back, raises his feet and
strikes his long claws viciouslY at any
hound that dare attack him. The battle
is long and bloody, and before it ends
the hounds are frightfully scared and
often lose an eye. Many time after a
cat chase have ! sewed up the ears of my
dogs. The cat drive is the Florida mans
favorite sport-&. Louis Globe Demo.

Cllrysantllemum Culture.

Twenty years ago a prominent writer
on flowers said, in regard to chrysanthe
mum culture "The last ten years has
witnessed great improvement in both the
form and color OF, the flowers. The rag.
ged, shapeless flowers have become sym.
metrical; aud the colors vie in brilliancy
with those of any fower." Now ag in
fashion says ragged" The more ragged
the more fashionable, if not more beauti.
full; but ragged or regular, I suppose
every one who cultivates any flowers, will
be sure to have at least a few varieties of
this lovely flower. No Towering plant
can be easier of cultivation, more sure to
bloom we'll, or-except in mild climates
where some of the more hardy varieties
will live through the Winter in the gar
den-better able to endure the Winter in
damp or dry cellar. When so housed,
the plants should be brought up a few
weeks before repotting, and stand in a
light, dry place to harden the young
growth, as it is the root sprouts that will
give the plants for another season: They
require good, strong soil and plenty of
root room. They are a little unsocial in
their habits, each plant feeling itself
entitled to plenty of stretching space: if
crowded too closely, the leaves that grow
nearest the roots are apt to mildew, and
so ipjure the health and vigor Of the
plants. When the young plants are
from eight to ten inches high, about four
inches should be cut off from their tops
these cuttings will make good plants and
will root very easily, either in earth
or water, and iff,well grown will
blossom after their parent stalks have
finished their years growth. They are
thirsty plants, and are apt to wilt in the
sun if allowed to get dry. All the plants
should be kept pinched back to give as
large number of blossoming ends as
possible; this process should not be con-
tinued later than the first of August, as
the buds will begin to form about that
time. As soon as the buds begin to show
themselves, the plants will give much
better flowers if watered with weak
solution of Peruvian guano as often as
every fourth day. The plants should not
be allowed to remain out in the open air
without any protection after the season
of frosty nights comes. Although they
will not, many of them, be killed by q
moderate frost, yet the flower buds will
become so chilled that they will never be
very perfect when in flower; especially
is this true of the newer varieties; SO it
is better to have only so many pots or
boxes as can be given at least roof pro.
lection. if not afforded house room.--

10 the Editor Of the Teachers Column:
According to promise, I will endeavor
to give you some idea of the work that is
being accomplished by the Winthrop
Training School.
The third annual session was formally
opened September "a, by Superintendent
D. B. johnson, who, after few appro-
pirate remarks, introduced Col. F. W.
McMasters, chairman of the Board Of
Trustees, as one of those who had been
instrumental in establishing the State
Scholarships. His cordial address of
welcome was much appreciated by those
present He spoke Of the responsibility
resting on the pupils, saying that the
future welfare of the school depended, in
a great measure, upon their right use Of
the excellent opportunities afforded them
of becoming good teachers. Prof. JOHN
ston then turned the school over to Miss
M. 81. Leonard, as principal, who is as.
sisted by Miss F. G. McCants. The
practice department is in charge of
Misses A. E Bunham and S. I. Knight.
The class consists of fifty one pupils,
which, on account of its size, was divided
into two sections. They occupy two
rooms in the second story of the build
ing, while the practice department is
below. In that department there are
three grades-frst, second and third
consisting Of nearly one hundred pupils.
A Training pupil for each grade is sent
down every week to learn the art of in-
structing and managing the children
under the direction of Practice teachers.
All are very much pleased with the
ways of management used in the Train
ing School. Everything is carried on
with much order and system. Some of
you, who had the pleasure of meeting
at the Institutes three of our teachers
Misses Leonard, McCants and Bonham-
will not wonder at this.
1 have found out by experience that it
takes some little time for pupils to know
what is expected of them; or, in other
words, to go into the spirit of the work
required. Some pupils came here with
the idea of its being very much like a
high school, in which lessons were to be
assigned to be memorized and recited.
Again, others thought it would be car.
ried on similar to an institute, in which
lectures are given and notes taken of
them by The pupils, and no examination
required. Instead, topics are given out
from which teaching exercise. are to be
prepared. They find that teaching is diff.
ferent from telling, that the pupil should
be led to find out for himself, that the
idea should be developed before expires.
Sion is given to it, that every lesson
should be planned beforehand, and that
points made should be left on the board
as summary of the whole. The lesson
if followed by criticisms by class and
teacher.

Ten thousand human beings start
together on the journey oflife. After ten
years one third at least have disappeared.
At the middle points Of the common
measure of life but half are still upon
the road. Faster and faster, rs the
ranks grow thinner, they that remain
till now become weary, aud lie down to
rise no more. At three.score and ten o
band of some four hundred yet struggle
on. At ninety these have been reduced
to handful of thirty trembling patri-
archs. Year after year they fall in dimin.
ishing numbers. One fingers, perhaps,

We look, again and the journey of life is
finished.

Have the Trustees in each Township
had a meeting? Have you any plan by
which your schools are run? Or, do you
intend just to sign up teachers claims
until your money is exhausted and then
stops If you do, you will most likely
have inefficient schools, for this plan will
bring you inefficient teachers. No first
class male teacher, and very few first
class female teachers, can afford to teach
school that is to run only until shoe.
time." This method of running the
public schools fritters away the public
money, and gives no lasting, permanent
results, and "results" is what we want.
The object of the school fund is to help
the people, not to do it all, and all the
Boards ought to require the patrons to
supplement the public funds 30 as to give
six to eight months of school. By this
means the people will be educated up to
the idea of self help, and will not expect
the meager school fund to educate their
children. Men will not then be heard to
say that they pay their school tax and
can't afford to pay any more. The truth
is, there are not more than twenty five
taxpayers, perhaps, in the County who
pay enough school tax to cover the tut.
tion of one pupil for a year. Have a
meeting and discuss methods Of making
your schools run longer. Get your
neighbors to meet with you and stir up
an interest in the matter, and our word
for it you will have schools, and good
ones, too. Drop in at this ofice,:and we
will discuss the matter with you In the
meantime we commend to your consid-
