Tho Footpath.

In England one may walk through a
county without troubling the high road.
The winding by road, with its bowery
sides, is everywhere at our service, and
everywhere, too, we find ;the footpath,
crossing private grounds, perhaps, as
sanctioned by some ancient right of way;
edging the little river and passing it by
the bridge, which is always to be found
where needed; bordering the farmers
fields, leading from one hospitable gate
or turnstile to another, and finding its
way to every attractive point of view.
England has been cultivated for so
many centuries that scarce an acre ap-
pears which the hand of man has not put
to some sort of service, while even in the
most thickly settled parts of our older
states there are many tracts which are
still almost in their primitive condition.
Horses, too, are cheap with us and dear
in England, so the English rustic is
obliged to walk where his American
cousin may ride if he will.
But to explain why we have not so
many footpaths as the English is not to
confess ourselves satisfied with tho want
of them. Nor is there any reason why
we should not have them in far greater
numbers. 1t costs good deal to make
road, but very little to make foot
path, for, of course, we need merely q
harrow path which well shod and SEN
sibly dressed person can traverse with a
moderate degree of ofcomfort-not gravel
walk fit for slippers and muslin gowns.
Often couple of planks across a brook,
few loads of earth dumped in a marshy
spot, two or three stones set as steps
against wall or fence and Il little cut
ting away of tree branches and under
growth would open up delightful tract
of country which now is almost impossi-
BILE of approach.
Nor do we think that tho farmers or
landed proprietors interests would suffer
by such tritling civilities paid to possible
pedestrians. Moro persons would cross
his property, but those who did cross
would do it less damage. The path might
keep even boys feet from straying into
less desirable directions, while those for
whose especial benefit it was formed
would, of course, be limited by its bounds.
If even tho rudest, simplest paths were
thus generally formed in our rural
neighborhoods their influence would at
once be felt i'll the village itself, as well
as in the summer colony.
Ask any farmers daughter why she
docs not walk more and she will answer.
like the city woman, "Where shall
walk? The road is unattractivc, the
meadows and woods are always more or
difficult to cross and often impossible. :"
More paths and simple bridges and stiles
are what we need, alike in the interests
of healthful physical development and
of hcalthful growth in the sentiment for
nature.-Garden and Forest.

Thrown Into the River by an Elephant.

Thrown Into the River by an Elephant.
A Cairo, Ills, special to The Philadel-
phia Press Of recent date says: "While
circus was unloading its paraphernalia
from small steamboat and barges at
Metropolis one of the elephants showeda
great Discrimination to go ashore. Sew
cral of tho employees seized poles and be.
gan systematic course of prodding,
which threw the beast into terrible
rage. His long trunk was suddenly
twisted around tho body of his nearest
tornentor, tho man was raised high in
the air and cast uncercmoniously into
the Ohio river thirty feet distant. The
excitement was great, and by the time
the elephant was ready for another in
stallment the men had all scampered out
of danger. Tho regular keeper having
come to the rescue the nladdened ami
NAL was quieted, and the two marched
ashore without accident. The man was
unhurt and swan ashore"

VOCAL TRAINING.
Something About the Teaching of Little

Something About the Teaching of Little
Children to Sing.
Two questions in connection with the
training of the voice arb to be discussed,
viz: When it should be commenced and
whether it should be interrupted during
the so called cracking" period. With
regard to the first of these questions
am strongly of opinion that training can
hardly be begun too early. Of course,
the kind and amount of practice that are
necessary in the adult would be mon
strous in a young child, but there is no
reason why, even at the age of 6 or Z,
the right method of voice production
should not be taught.

Jol,n.town's Flood n Mere Gill.

The amount of water passing over Nj
agara Falls varies with the height of the
river. Professor w. D. Cunning csti-
mates the average amount at $4,000, 900
cubic feet per minute. Allowing 62a
pounds to the cubic foot. this would give
total of 5G2 500 tons per minute, or 25,-
3l2,5O0 tons i'll forty-five minutes, OF
which somewhat more than two-thirds
passes over the Horseshoe Falls. Other
estimates place the total amount passing
over both falls as high as 100, ,0OO, 900 tons
per hour. In comparison, the flood at
Johnstown was gill.-Iron

cit" Can't Love Anything.

A little girl was reciting her lesson in
conjugation:
"Verb, to love. indicative mood, pres
ent tense" called the teacher.
81 love, thou lowest, he or she loves" "
said the little girl.
ole, she or it loves" prompted the
preceptor.
cit can't love anything" pleaded the
little girl.
And the teacher, suddenly struck with
new idea, only replied: "Go on"
And this idea, new to the teacher, but
not to some others, was that grammar
as taught by book is a hunbug. Only
very lately, to quote one instance from
myriad, did the grammars recognize
that "you'' is u singular pronoun, though
it has been so used for three centuries,
and "you are" and all similar phrases
were parsed by their rules as second per-
son plural.-Boston Transcript.

Following tho Fashion.

\ famous French woman's witticism
about the way her own country women
differ from other women in their dress is
perhaps deserving of attention on the
part of some American women.
There are two ways" she says, "of
following the fashion.
"a French woman follows it as dog
follows its master. But all other women
follow it as blind man follows his dog"

The Centennial of Carmel Presbyterian
Church was celebrated last Saturday.
Rev, J. Dewitt Burkehead preached the
Centennial sermon, and most eloquent
and interesting sermon it was. History
says Carmel Church has existed l04 years,
and is said to be the oldest Church in
upper Carolina or Georgia, which is true.
The old Stone Church, near Pendleton,
comes next. Col. VIM. s. Pickens fur
nished most of the history of the Church.
Besides the divines, there were number
of distinguished persons present Among
the latter we noticed the handsome face OF
our Congressman, Hon. j. S. Cothran.
The crowd present was estimated at from
800 to 1000 persons. Mr.. Editor, you
could have easily chosen wife from the
many pretty girls present. The ladies of
the Church had shown their good taste in
the pretty decorations around the pulpit.
May Carmel live to celebrate many more
Centonnials.
