EDUCATION OF GIRLS.
Mrs. Fred Grant Advances Some Strange
Reactionary Ideas.

Reactionary Ideas.
1t is said that Mrs. Fred Grant has
some reactionary ideas on the subject
of the education of women which she
is carrying into effect upon her own
little daughter. Mrs. Grant, who was
Miss Honore. is OF French extrac-
ton, was herself bred in the convent,
where, as is known, the most ad-
vanced ideas are not as rule incul-
Gated. But she goes even further back
than do most of the modern converts.
She has perfect horror of the theory
of woman's suffrage. and quite as much
for the theories of those who advocate
the higher education OF women, in
which she does not in the least believe.
She holds that women should not be,
nor even desire to be. any thing but
wives and mothers, and not even wives
and mothers according to the modern
standard. but should strictly conform
themselves to such rules as used to be
laid down for them by the stern
fathers of the Church. Following out
this theory, Mrs. Grant has allowed
nothing to be taught her little daugh-
ter which would tend to make her in
dependent, self-reliant or forcible.
The four rules of arithmetic are the
strict limit of her mathematical
education. Philosophy of any sort
she is not eten allowed to hear
a suggestion of. She is never
permitted TO argue upon any subject
whatever. and is trained to accept
absolutely whatever is told her without
question. Her education consists of
the study OF music, such literature
as her mother thinks best for her to
read. little history, drawing. needle
work. and the languages, and all this
is taught her by a private governess.
who lives with her and is warranted
not to instill ideas outside of those
elementary ones Mrs. Grant considers
suited to female capacity. The
HonOres have always carefully kept
up their French, and the Grant
children have had, besides, French
nurse, so that they would learn the
two languages together and know no
difference between them Mrs Grant
takes great pains with their pro-
nunciation. and they really speak
beautiful French. with the fluency
and accent of natives. She is particu-
larry pleased on their account that her
husband should have mission to a
German-speaking country. and before
his term at Vienna has finished they
will undoubtedly be speaking the
language like natives, as she means to
surround them entirely with Germans
as their teachers and attendants, in
order that they may speak the tongue
with that ease WHICH can only rg be had a.

ABOUT WHEAT CUTTING.
The Best Stage at Which to Begin Hsr-
vesting Operations.

The Best Stage at Which TO Begin HAT
vesting Operations.
Whether the acreage be large or
small, it is important to harvest in
good season. A few days delay will
make considerable difference in the
quality of the grain, besides increasing
the loss in handling.
Improved machinery has lessened
very materially the work of harvest
ing large crop of this grain. Every
thing should be in readiness so as to
be able to push the work as rapidly as
possible. 1t is quite a system to
start as soon as the grain is sufficient
ly ripe. and by having every thing
ready this can be done while the work
can be pushed along. The reaper or
binder must be in good repair, as a
comparatively small break may cause
considerable loss. III the machine Is
an old one, or If it has stood out ex-
posed to the weather, a thorough
overhauling should be given. loose
bolts be frightened up, screws and all
working parts be adjusted. A loose
bolt or screw may be the cause of con-
siderable damage.
So far as possible. the best stage at
which to commence harvesting the
wheat is while the grain is in the
dough, and just as it begins to harden.
II cut too early the grain is liable to
shrivel up in drying, and. if allowed to
get too ripe, will often bleach and will
shake out more in handling. If cut
reasonably early the straw will make
a much better feed so that it is very
important 20 commence the work as
soon as the grain is ready. It is best
Rs far as can be done to keep well up
with the work OF shocking. There is
always more or less damage done by
allowing the wheat to lie in the bundle
after cutting. while there is the addi-
tional risk of a shower, and il one
comes the damage will be still greater.
Wheat can be shocked up and stacked
much wetter than any other kind OF
grain or hay. and will dry out with
less injury; At the same time it is best
to shock up and keep dry. If the
bundles are properly set up and well
capped, the danger of getting wet will
be largely reduced. 1t is important in
shocking up the wheat TO set the bum
dies up straight and close together
and evenly on all sides. so as to resist
the wind and keep the rain from blow
ing in. If dry, wheat can be stacked
very soon after cutting; yet when it is
| intended To stack as soon as il is suffi-
Gently dry care should be taken to
shock up well-St. Louis Republic

FACTS ABOUT BABIES
Akin to the Lower "A nimals When the First
Consciousness Appears.

Consciousness Appears.
In the course of lecture delivered
In New York the ether day a dis
tinguished female physician said that
the inability of a baby to hold up its
head was not due to the weakness of
the neck, but to lack Of development
OF the will power. The act of stand
ing was instructive and initiative.
while facial expression and gesture
were due almost wholly to imitation.
A baby's smile, she said. was the
most misunderstood thing in infancy.
A real smile must have an idea behind
it, but the expression resembling
smile which is SO often seen on a very
young baby's face was without an idea
and was due to an easy condition of the
stomach or to some other physical
satisfaction. The smile with an idea
does not appear earlier than the fourth
week. So, too, with the crying OF a
baby. The contortion of the features
is due to physical causes. The baby
sheds no tears, because the lachrymal
glands are not developed for several
weeks after birth. The chief pleasure
OF all children is to change from one
condition to another by their own
efforts. This is the beginning of the
development of the will power, and is
often attested in what has been called
the imperative intention of tears"
This is not disclosed until after the
second or third month.
A baby tests every thing by its
mouth, its sense of taste being the
surest and most reliable guide it has.
The attention of all young children is
difficult to attract and they must at
tain considerable age before they be-
, gin to notice. Then colors and sounds
are most potential. Fear has been
known to be manifested by baby only
three weeks old, and, in all cases, the
sensation is produced by sound more
than by sight. Children of luxurious
and carefully-guarded homes are
almost wholly without fear, but the
children of poor and exposed parents
always manifest it. Jealousy and
sympathy begin to manifest them
selves in the second year. Curiosity
also begins to develop here and proves
TO be self-feeder throughout child
hood. A little later the ego begins to
appear. and the baby has the first con-
seriousness of itself, The ego first ap-
pears as muscular sense. and the in
FAINT gradually learns to distinguish
itself from surrounding objects. 1t is
first the hand that is distinguished,
and then the foot. and finally the
whole body. Memory does not appear
before the child is two years of age.
ALI the reasoning of children is prim-
five and elementary and develops
slowly. Darwin noticed an assncin-
.:.u Oh ideas in the mind of his child
when it was only five months of age.
The lecturer related experiences of
babies with the first view of mirrors,
and showed that their actions under
the new conditions were similar to
those of anthropoid apes and dogs un-
der like conditions. Herald.

Guard Mount.
| The first guard mount was at nine
o'clock this morning, and the number
OF muskets seemed disproportioned to
the officers. This can easily be under
stood by military men, because they
know it requires the same number o1
officers for twenty men that it does fol
sixty. Why SO few men are present this
year is attributed to the fact that most
OF the companies are confined men who
cannot leave their business. The great
bulk of the State Guard present arc
young men. 1t is difficult to get at the
number present, as the officers dislike te
admit that they brought so few men.

Cotton Stalks for Stock Food.

DR.. 81. B. Battle, of the State Expert
ment Station has something new and in
teresting to say about COTTON STALKS.
He says:
1t is not generally known that dry
cotton stalks when ground will make
good, rich food for stock, approximately
equal to the hay from mixed meadow
grasses. During the winter several dry
cotton stalks were pulled from the field
at the N. G. Experiment Station at Ral-
eigh. The stalks were dry, and still had
the burrs, and some few leaves adher-
ing. A few roots were also pulled up
with the stalks. The whole was ground
together, and, On analysis, yielded 1877
per cent. of moisture, 7.75 of ash, 227
of ether extract, 7.S1 of albuminoids,
Az .35. of nitrogen extract, q. 55 of
crude fibre. The nutritive ratio by anal
ysis (not by digestibility) was to 1913.
This is approximately the same as the
hay from mixed meadow grasses, which
gives digestible ratio of to 122. No
opportunity has been given to test the
digestibility of cotton stalks by actual
trial with stock. Should it prove Of good
digestibility, and the cost of pulling the
old stalks and grinding them be not too
great, cotton stalks may yet become use-
full adjuncts in cattle feeding. The
| weight of the old stalks per acre from
the rich cotton lands of the East Is not
| inconsiderable.

GREENv1LLE, n. c., July 25th,
Reliable information has been re-
ceived here of murder which occurred
in Greene county last Friday night. It
appears that Sam Porter a white man,
had woman of bad reputation living
On his farm. He was warned two or
three times that he must have the wo-
man removed. He needed not the
warning, but placed white man NAM
ed Burwell White to keep guard and
prevent other men from visiting her,
and especially negro.
On Friday night about twenty-five
men went to the woman's house sor the
purpose of whipping the negro if found.
The negro was not there. The woman
was informed that she must leave the
neighborhood. She raised yell, and it is
thought Potter went down in threaten
ing manner to the house.
He had pistol and Bowie knife.
He was found pierced with q
load Of buck-shot and five pistol balls.
It is not thought there was any
intention of hurting him, but
likely he attempted to shoot or did shoot
into the crowd, and in consequence re-
ceived his own death wounds.
Burwell White, Potters guard, wit
messed all this, and the men determined
to dispatch him. He was tarred and
feathered for the purpose; but he beg
ged so hard and promised to leave the
country at once and never appear as
witness against any OF the parties that
they released him.
He recognized two of the men.
He went ts Greenville and took the
| train Saturday morning.
He still had some of the tar on him.
The woman has disappeared also.
