A Curious Coincidence.

"I used to travel around the country
with a patent hay fork" said the man
with the green patch on his left eye, as it
came his turn to tell story. II am not
going to say anything about that patent
more than that no farmer ever got any
benefit from it. What I 9ish to bring
out is what might be called curious
coincidence, and one that have
kicked myself over dozen times.

profit every time. When I got up in the
morning, after staying all night with
farmer, l got off something as
follows:

almost feel the box in my hand. There's

Among the rules of a New York
livery stable where the animals of many
wealthy men are kept, arc the following:
"No man will be employed who drinks
intoxicating liquors. No man shall
speak loud to any Of the horses or in the
stable where they are. Horses of good
blood are nervous, and loud, excited con.
versation is felt by every horse who heara
it, and keeps them all nervous and unea'
sy. No man shall use profane language
in tho hearing of borues."

Over into Brushy Greek and the first
school we came to is at Mt. Pisgah,
taught by Miss Jennie Williams, who
has recently come to us from Pickens.
We noted quite difference in this
school, in the fact that last year there
we're quite number who could neither
read nor write, while this year nearly all
we're able 60 do something at both, and
the teacher assured US she was making
strenuous efforts along that line. Eskew

good work there, and ne take it that
Miss Williams is carrying it on.

At Mountain Springs re found our
brother, Edward King, at the fore. This
place has been without school privileges
almost for several terms. One or two
short summer terms have been taught
there, but the neighborhood, feeling the
need of something more, have recently
put up good building and employed
Mr.. King for ten months term, and
there ne found him earnestly striving to
do his whole duty, and we feel sure that
his work will tell when the results are
footed up. Mr.. King has been out Of
the school room for some time, but is
zealously trying to "catch on" to the edu'
cational progress and spirit of the age,
and is bound to succeed.

The favorable impression produced on
the first appearance of the agreeable

by the pleasant experience of all who have

Slabtown is and has been for years an
educational landmark in the County.
The people there take just pride in
their ancient reputation for school facili-
ties, and always keep good school in
successful operation. This year the
school is in charge of Miss Mary B,ggs, a
teacher "to the manor born," and one
who has had several years. experience in
the work, first as assistant and now as
! principal. We spent two very pleasant
hours with her school, and greatly enjoy.
ed thu readiness with which her pupils
engaged in their exercises. Everything
in her school vas able to read and write,
even Che very young ones, and the more
advanced showed progress in their stud

scientious teacher. Years ago, in the

"old boss" held sway in the walls of old
Thalian Academy, and from far and near
the youth of the land focked to his
school, and from the classic precincts of
the old Academy many boys have gone
forth to do honor to their preceptor, and
shed lustre upon their country. And to:
day wherever those boys meet and clasp
hands and recount the incidents of their
academic career, there is fellow feeling
among them which makes them all feel
akin, and not a man of them but pays a
tribute to the memory of father Kenue.

where hia life work was done, and more
than three hundred of them have con.

until now the fund .on hand amounts to

this is timely and appropriate, no marble
shaft can perpetuate his memory as does

Beyond Pisgah, a short distance, we
came to the Maple Springs colored
school, taught by Sarah Evans. This
school was small, and from what We saw

small, too, which may account for-.the

From this place We drove to Cedar
Wreath, to pay our respects to Miss Jen'
ME hosamorld. Through cold, rain and
mud the drive was anything but pleas
ant one, but once inside the building, the
air of busy work pervadiug the room, and
the evidence Of good work having been
done in the past cheered US, and drove
away all thoughts OF the elements outside.
Miss Jennie reports her school not as
large as usual, but in spite of the weather
three fourths of them were present for
duty. Having been at work here for
several successive terms, her work is
telling on her pupils, and it is to be
hoped that faithful aud conscientious as
she is, her people will keep her ct it for

The Climate of St. Petersburg.

If it is May or June do not come to Russia without the heaviest winter cloth ing and the heaviest of winter wraps, even though you may have left England all ablaze with hawthorne blossoms, Hol- land carpeted with tulips and Berlin at summer heat. Remember that the Russian calendar is twelve days later than ours. Remember that St. Petersbug is on the shores of the Baltic sea. Remember also that you are on the direct route to the North pole. Already I have seen two hard snow storms, and our teeth have been on continual chatter since reaching here. In the country (May 26) the peas ants are just blowing and sowing for their summer crops, and in the city heavy overcoats and furs seem quite at home.
 There is one thing, however, that strikes an American very agreeably as well as strangely, and that is the suddenly increased length of the days. Even now the sun does not set until about Q o'clock and rises no one knows how early; and soon the longest days will have reached here when the sun is only nominally be- low the horizon from one-quarter past 10 till one-quarter before 2, but really the twilight is so bright that one can read with ease all night. No doubt this has much to do in maturing the harvest so rapidly in the few months of summer.- Cor. Detroit Free Press.

Plain Lectures on Health.

If the women's colleges would add to their course of study a series of very plain lectures on the care of health, it would be worth any amount of Anglo Saxon literature on political economy. Nothing would make a school more popu- lar than to supplement such lectures with strict personal care of the habits of each pupil It would become a "beauty school'' in the full sense of the word, as celebrated for sending out young ladies with brilliant complexions as Harvard for it's athletics. And why is it not as necessary for young ladies to have their faces chased as to have their manners and their grammar corrected? Now, the most high minded and fastidious of Lady Sylvias has slender body, which works over daily not less than seven pounds of food and drink, or ought to, and throws out no less than five pounds of waste by its great ducts, the bowels and kidneys, and it's millions of needle ducts in the skin. Really this is very terrible for dis cusSion, and I warmly agree with her majesty Victoria in thinking stomachs entirely unfit for mention to ears polite. But thousands of women are losing beauty and dying of painful disease for want of knowing the full significance of their internal economy and the care they owe it.-Shirley Dare.
