In nearly all railroad accidents the
common passenger cars are crushed, with
great fatality to life, while sleeping and
parlor cars of heavier construction
usually escape with slight injury. 1t is
in these last that officers of the road are
generally found. Probably the extra
weight of the sleeping and parlor cars
helps to crush in others, but it does seem
to the american Cultjcator as if common
cars should be strengthened as far as pos
sible. If railroad officials were obliged
TO ride on the class Of cars they furnish
for common people, fewer accidents
would occur. A less harsh remedy would
be to assess extra heavy damages for loss
of life occasioned by using cars especially
liable to brealage. The law limiting the
damage tor killing in railroad accidents
TO $4,000 life should be repealed, or the
limit put good deal higher than it now

Musical kites are provided with a bam.
boo resonator containing three apertures
one in the centre and one at each ex.
tremity. When the kite is flying, the
air, in rushing into the resouator, pro.
duces a somewhat intense and plaintive
sound, which can be heard at a great dis
tance. The transverse rods of the frame
of tins kite are connected at the extremi-
ties, and give the kite the aspect Of two
birds wings affixed to a central axis.
This kite sometimes reaches large dimen-
sions-say, ten feet in width. There are
often three or four resonators, placed one
above another over the kite, and in this
case very pronounced, grave sound is
produced. The musical kite is very com
mon in China and Tonquin; hundreds OF
them are sometimes seen lowering in the
air in the vicinity of Hanoi. 1t is be
heved among the supeTstitious ohaye the
power of charming evil spirits away, and
with this object it is often tied to the
roof of houses during the prevalence OF
winds, where, during the whole night, il
emits plaintive murmurs after the man

James d. Leary, of raft fame, is going
to make another attempt to have raft
towed to New York city from Nova
Scotia. Work began in the early part
of last winter on the ice at Georgetown,
Nova Scotia, by building cribs. The
work is being carried out with vigor at
other places, and a large number Of men
are engaged. Leary's plan differs ma
terially from that of his former raft. This
tow will be made up of number of
cribs containing about 500 pieces Of
piling each, Each crib has strong
chain laid lengthwise in the cen nc of the
timbers, the whole being firmly secured
on the outside by binders of heavy wire
rigging. When these are completed,
number of these cribs sufficient to make
up the tow will be coupled together,
much as a railroad train is. It is ex-
peeted that the first raft will be ready
very shortly, when it will be towed to
New York city by a tug or two,

A USELESS PRECAUTION.

Most persons think it necessary to hang
their winter clothes in the air before
packing them away in the summer. EX-
perience has taught us that this method
is not only useless, but injurious. The
clothes do not need airing, having been
used all winter, and moments refiec-
ton will convince any one that clothing
thus exposed is more than likely to be
seized upon by the moth millers, so nu-
merous in the spring. Winter clothing
should be brushed before being packed
away, as it is likely to receive the germs
of destruction if allowed to lie about for
only a few minutes; for if the eggs of
the moth are once deposited we put them
away in the trunk with the clothes, and
irreparable misthief is set on foot. Gum
camphor is the best thing to put with
clothing, and about a pound of it must
be put in each trunk. All wooden gar.
ments should be taken out Of the closets
and brushed if not in constant use.

SIN the competition of intelligence and
manual skill, says the New York Times
"the old-fashioned farmer is beaten and
driven out of business or forced to emi-
CRATE to new fields where the virgin soil
will givea sufficient return to afford sub
sistence for a few years and until the
same pressure pushes him still further to
the front This is the explanation of the
fact that so many men crowd to every
opening of new lands with all their few
possessions gathered in awagon and their
stock driven in advance. 1t is the froth
carried on the crest Of an ever-advancing
wave, which does not move the more
solid material over which it passes. This
remains behind firmly fixed, and cleansed
and purified, and strengthened by the
pressure which has carried away all the
lighter material" F"

A novel operation has been performed
in the Edinburgh (ScotlandD Infrmary.
A farmer was suffering from a diseased
leg bone, induced by an accident. On
medical advice he went to the infrmary
and was put under the care of the sur
geon, who determined to remove the dis
eased portion and substitute an OK rib.
The operation was performed, and it has
been so successful that the man will be
about again shortly with a limb as strong
and healthy as ever.

IN THE FIELDS.

Oh, maiden. under the skies so blue,
OF the eyes and tresses brown,
I'd rather be walking in fields with you
Than going my way to town.
Is it far to your DIV elling' But here's a rose
Perhaps you slipped from its heart-who
knows?
Il is like your face; it is like the smile
OF your lips so red and sweet.
Do the roses bloom for little while
And their hearts then cease to beat?
How fair were the roses my youth-time
knew?
Were l a rose would bloom for you.
Do YOU roam through the summers sweet
and long
Over these fields so fair,
And blend your voice with the harvest song
That thrills through the scented air?
When YOU bind the wheat with a golden
skein
Are the tores not mixed with the ripened
grain9
Sowing and reaping my life has known,
And now with the gathered sheaves
There are fruitless weeds that have needless
grown,
And thorns meath the roses leaves.
Sowing and reaping, the harvest seems
Less than my labor and less than my dreams.
Oh, maiden under the skies so blue,
OF the eyes and tresses brown,

Than going my way to town.

Killed a Monster West India Liza.

Two Mexican fishermen killed an ugly
and vicious anolis of the lizard species
on Padre Island, near Corpus Christi,
Texas, but not until hard battle had
been fought. 1t measured four feet long
and thirteen inches in circumference,
with claws equal to a tigers. 1t con-
tanned twenty-four eggs. This monster
is a native of the West India islands, and
the first ever seen there.
During the combat the anolis several
times changed its color from green to
brown and vice versa, pecuharity of its
tribe Many theories are advanced as to
how it reached the island. The most
plausible is that it came in one Of the
huge mahogany logs from foreign lands
that are frequently washed ashore, ,--

Speed Of Animals.

In respect to the comparative speed of
animated beings, it may be remarked
that neither size nor comparative strength
seem to have much influence. The sloth
is by no means small animal, and yet il
can only travel fifty PAGES in a day; a
warm crawls " five inches in fifty sec
onds; but lady bird can fly twenty
million times its own length in less than
an hour. An elk can run a mile in seven
minutes; an antelope can run a mile in a
minute; the wind mule of Tartary has 9
speed even greater than that; and an
eagle can hy tifty-four miles in an hour:
while canary falcon can even reach
seven hundred and fifty miles in the
short space Of sixteen hours.

THE HARBoR OF DREAMS.

Only a whispering gale
Flutters the wings of the boat,
Onlya a bird in the vale
Lends 10 the silence note
Mellow, subdued, and remote;
This is the twilight of peace,
This is the hour of release,
Free Of all worry and fret,
Clean Of all care and regret,
When like bird in it's nest
Fancy lies folded to rest.
This is the margin of sleep,
Here let the anchor be cast;
Here in forgetfulness deep,
Now that the journey is past,
Lower the sails from the mast,
Here is the bay of content,
Heaven and earth interblent;
Here is the haven that lies
Close to the gates of surprise;
Here all like Paradise seems
Here is the harbor of dreams.

Bis Duties. Responsibilities and Salary
up for Discussion.


At the last term Of the quarterly
court, Squire Slaughter introduced
a very important resolution bearing
upon the county public school super
intendent, which should have en-
listed more thought and di,cussion
than has followed. He also wrote
a communication to this and other
papers on the subject, soliciting
counsel and advice from educators,
in which he said: Heretofore, and
at present, the salary has been, and is
now, merely nominal, not enough TO
justify the superintendent iii giving
his time and attention, and yet more
than sufficient to pay him for his SER
vices in examining teachers, and is
suing certificates.
"Ifthe public schools of the county
re Iuire the supervision of superin
tendent as the law demanding his
election would seem to indicate, then
that supervision should not be a
nudity, and sham, but fact. In
plain terms: If a superintendent
of public institution is to be, or can
be, made worth anything to the
schools of the county, it must be
through his giving them proper
time, and attention. And if such
is given them he should be allowed a
fair salary for the same.
son the other hand, if he is an I'M
necessary adjunct, or only superin-
tendent in name, with no duties ex-
cept the examin ton Of teachers,
and the issuing of certificates, then
any more than enough to pay for
this services is wrongly taken from
the school fund of this county,"
The county court will act on this
matter at its January term, and that
it may have the consideration its i'm
portance demands committee, COM
posed OF Squire Slaughter, FINS Ew-
ing, Brad Martin, f. Il. Foust and

tain all the light possible on the sub
Ject and report to the court such rec
concentrations as may be deemed
best This committee will meet al
the courthouse next Saturday, and it
will he glad to entertain suggestions
from educators and Others on the
subject.
This is an excellent move in the
right direction for the advancement
of the educational enterprise of the
county, Montgomery county can
well afford a good public school sys-
tenn and it is important that the
school should be put on a permanent
basis for ten months in the year and
a first-class educator put at the head
of the system whose constant duty
should be to look after the schools
and instruct teachers. He should be

That Self Called Council.
10 the Leaf .chronIcIe.

10 the Leaf 'Chronlcie.
We notice an article in your paper
OF the 18th inst, in which an ex par
te council was called al Mount Olive
Baptist church to consider the legali-
ty of the exclusion of certain MEM
bers of the First Baptist church. We
wish to state for the consideration of
all intelligent Baptists that such
thing as an eX parte council being
called by excluded members was
never heard of in the Baptist church
since its organization TO this time
and If it were possible for such mem
bers to call such a council, as all
councils in the Baptist church are
only advisory, how and where comes
the right of such council to ques-
ton the church's right to discipline
its members, when our law-giver has
made the church democratic in its
government and responsible to no
power save that OF Gods, who says
that where member has committed
an offence that the offence WAS to be
told to the church, which is the high
est tribunal in the sight of Him who
authorized church organizations.
Now. by what authority do num-
Der of ministering brethren consti
tute themselves a council TO try the
First Baptist church for disiplin-
ing its members? What authority
do they exercise over the First Bap-
fist church, and where did they get
such authority? Had they not bet
ter pluck the mote out of their own
eyes before trying to extract the
beam from ours? Even had they
such authority would ccuncil be or
dered in such proceedings without
notifying the church ?
The excluded members can be re-
instated by complying with the rules
laid down in The scripture, and in no
other way are they entitled to become
members of any Baptist church, and
this church can have no fellowship
with any Baptist church that receives
its excluded members that have been
regularly tried and excluded for
schism and disorder.
BY order of the church.
