School Teachers.

If every Now girl who is introduced as
aschool teacher should be dropped" by
the board when she proves to be fail
ure, we would soon have no teachers, or
good ones at least. 1t is strange, but fact,
that, as usual, the girls who, for from two
to three years, seem utterly hopeless, fin
ally become the best in the staff, while,
on the other hand, those who start out
most promising, too often become worth
less. While the Normal school lays a
good foundation, 1t does not finish q
teacher-in fact, making o teacher"
only commences when she makes her
debut In the school room. The superin-
tendent's staff and her principal watch,

four years, when she is thorough, re-
liable teacher, and then-she goes off and
marries, generally.-Interview in st.

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
New York, Nov. 15.-Mr. w. j.
Arkell, proprietor Of Judge and Frank
Lestie's Illustrated ne,ospapers, recently
conceived a brilliant idea 1t occurred
to him that he could afford to pay the
government of the United States $780,
600 year for the privilege of using the
backs of postage stamps for advertising
purposes.
Judge l.. Amoreaux, for attorney Mr.
Arkell preceded to Washington and
consulted the Postmaster General re-
garding the matter. 4u. latter feared
however, that the statutes will stand il
the way and prevent any such sale. Ht
decided to examine into the matter anC
see what could be done.
MIR. Arkelrs idea is to print some one
advertisement of a reputable house on q
certain part of the stamps for certain
time, or on all during limited period
and follow this up by printing another
advertisement for another period.
The advertisement will be printed iu
delicate. .colored inks before the stamps
are gummed, and the result would be
that every user of the postage stamp
would have an opportunity to read some
thing on its back before he licked it.

at the church door till the maiden he
loved passed In TO her marriage. Then.
unperceived, no sent the slender

from an unknown cause, tainted, was
carried home and soon died, his

Again Tebaldo demanded the maid

was excited, and on examination of
the bodies tho small steel instrument

universal terror; no ono felt that his
own life was secure.
The young lady went into convent
during her mourning, and after q few
months Tebaldo begged to see and
speak with her, hoping now to. bend
her to his will. She, with an instinc-

Iebaldo contrived to wound her
through the gratc. On returning to

A Jolxo ON the Dog.

on the shoulder and said: ''See, here,

and even within the boundaries Of our

which we cannot hear and colors as diff

may be affirmed also that, through
the various factors at work night and
day upon the constitution of the
poorer class Of town dwellers, various
forms of disease are developed, Of
which pulmonary consumption is the
most familiar, and which is doing
its fatal work in a lavish and
unerring fashion. Thus it may
be conceded as an established
fact that the townsman is, on the
whole, constitutionally dwarfcd in

shorter, weaker and moro uncertain
than tho countryman's. hold the
opinion that the deterioration is more
in physique, as implied IN tho loss Of
physical or muscular power Of the
body, tho attenuation of muscular
fiber, the loss Of integrity Of cell struc-
ture, and consequent liability to the
invasion Of disease, rather than in ac-
tual stature of inch measurement.
The true causes of this deterioration are
neither very obscure nor far to seek.
They arc bad air and bad habits. To
these may be added prolific factor
operating largely to produce degencra-

termarriage, often necessitated by re-
igious affinities. B. Barron, M.

How TO DE INDEPENDEST.-Thc Southern
Farmers Alliance offers the following good
advice to the farmers: Brethren, We urge
you again to SOW more grain. Keep before
you the fact that in the. next year VIC will
have the great struggle for independence.
You cannot be independent unless you have
on hand a good store of food. Plant wheat,
oats and barley. No man can be independent
or feel independent while he owes. debt,
drives poor hungry animal or impcrfectly
feeds and clothes his family. Now, bretll-
rem, if We are to seek to be free men who
can look their fellow men in the face and
owe no man anything but to love him, how
can we do it but by laying in supply OF
food crops and making our cotton crop q
surplus to meet our obligations. Make wha,
you consume and it will take but little tc
pay the rest.',
