1t is related that once upon a
tine man lived in q very leaky
house, and a neighhor happening
in for refuge whilo it was raining,
asked why he did not repair it, his
prompt reply Was, that he could not
do it while it was raining. His
neishbor sugge> ting he could
do so when the weather was dry.
he replied with emphasis, why
should I-tIlen it does rot leak.
This IL evidently tie view taken
bv the school authorities of the sit
nation at the public school grounds
here. While il is wet they cannot
drain the heautiful lake and canal;
when it is dry there is no necessity
to do it. This reasoning is vastly
to be admired, and we suppose
since it has held good for so many
wears it ought to hold good for
many veto come. A correspond
ent, adam once wrote that we
were Ga people walking backward
The condition OF the public school
grounds goes to prove section Of
our people are standing still. If
this section were "walklns back

ness even walking forward, should
they ever 60 near that schoolhouse
after a hard rain they would have
fine chance Of a wet jacket or
mud bath. Surely they should
stand still ifeverthey venture near
there only so can they carry out
the claw Of self preservatlon."
We commend the matter to the
Thoughtful consideration of those
gentlemen in whose hands it rests.
yea, so Sweetly rests.

Oriental Politeness.

Some curious notes on the etiquette
of the East are published in q recent
issue Of the Gazette de France. For
instance q Turkish Effendi. when
speaking to another about himself,
always says: ''your servant" "your
valet" or "your slave;" and to the
other he says "your high" or "your
eminent personality" Instead Of
saying Il saw you at the theater
the other night" he would always
say: AT the theater the other
night l saw the dust Of your
shoes; ~ after all. n rather doubtful
sort Of compliment. But here is the
Turkish form Of an invitation to din
ner: my Generous Master, My Re-
spected Lord: This evening lit pleases
Allah. when the great king Of tho
army Of stars. the sun Of worlds, APP
preaching the kingdom Of shades. shall
put his foot into the stirrup Of speed.
you are invited to enlighten us with
the luminous rays Of your :ace. which
rivals the sun. Your arrival. like the
zephyr Of spring. will drive away from
us the somber night Of solitude and
isolation"
