The ECCENTRIC Boy at school.

The eccentric boy at public school is
unable to take a kick kindly; he resents
having his hat knocked into the gutter,
or being asked why his tie is like tele-
scope, or being made the victim of BOBBY
traps; and the ability to take these little
attentions with good temper is half the
battle with new boy at a great school
who wishes to lead happy existence.
The average schoolboy, of course, does
not mind these things, and, being neither
a positive Ounce nor genius, gets
through his school days fairly well, and
neither needs nor desires the exceptional
treatment which ought to be given to ex-
ceptional youths. Telegraph.

The Chicken Crop.

Government statistics show that $780,
900, 900 are required to represent the an
nual expenditure for the chicken crop OF
the United States, and that $4,000, 600
dozen of eggs, worth 2,677 900, are I'M
ported to this country per year. Show
me wheat crop result that can touch
those figures.
The expenditure in this country each
year for poultry and eggs will amount to
a much larger sum than that which
comes to the credit of either the wheat
crop, the cotton crop or the dairy pro-
duct.-Interview in New York Star.

A Bov win show His Bent.

Schoolmasters of experience could, no
doubt, tell of numerous cases OF boys
who have been distinguished at school
for nothing at all, except possibly gen
eral all round laziness, and who yet de-
veloped in later life into successful war
riors, lawyers, clergymen, or authors
The usual rule, however, seems to be that,
if a bow is going to turn into great man,
he shows some signs of his future In his
early career. 1t is not necessary for these
indications to be intellectual; youth en-
dowed with the exceptional physical
vioor which is destined to carry him to
the front when he attains mans estate
may be prominent at school simply for
his athletic prowess.-London Telegraph

Anchovies and Porpoises.

Anchovies are so plenty at Trebizond
that they are sold for 81 cents a hum
dred weight for food for paupers and
for fertilizing purposes, and during
the first part of the season each year so
many are thrown away that the whole
city is pervaded with the smell of their
rottenness. PROPOSES are also very
plentiful, about 10000 hundred weight a
year being caught, according to the
British consul, which yield about half
that weight of oil.-New York Sun.

Flowers! The very word is the ouint-
essence of poetry, fragrance and beauty.
A dinner, novel in the extreme, was
given by an eastern girl, wealthy debu-
tante. The dinner was served in great
magnificence, and at it 'stewed lilies"
was the most favored dish.
1t didn't matter at all that the "stewed
lilies resembled inferior greens or cauli-

be allowed, yet every girl at the table
declared as she dipped her fork into the

eat them every day." No pepper. no
salt, no soupcon of butter defled this
purity of the lily stew; forbid, god of
fashion, perish the thought, oh, cuisine
of aesthetic food! the lilies were stewed
simply intact and eaten simply and with
tact. For no muscle of the tortured
fashionable gourmande's face BETRAYED
the feeling that she was eating dish
that was similar to washed out sunshine
or the ghost of a stale spongecake. They
were stewed lilies all the same, and if
each partaker turns her head away at the
sight of the flower in full bloom for some
time to come, why inquire further: Is
the mere fact of the effects of a first
cigar to Danish forever the habit of smok-
ing others?

The book speaks of Abraham

A Decision in a Grcenyille Case.

The Supreme Court of the State
has filed its decision in the case of
the claim Of Niles TIellams VS.. the
County of Grccnvillc. The case was
of interest rs involving the question
of the liability of County Commits
sioncrs for the payment Of the fees
OF witnesses for the defense in crimi-
nal cases. The plaintiff in this suit,
Niles lIcllams, was witness for the
defendant in the case before the
Court Of General Sessions and had
been summoned by the State. The
Clerk of the Court made out his
pay certificate and it was signed by
the Judge. The Commissioners, as
is their uniform practice in similar
cases, refused payment. The pre-
siding Judge before whom the appeal
was heard sustained the County
Commissioners on the ground that
the Judge who signed the certificate
did not certify whether or not the
witness was a material witness. This
decision has been sustained by the
Supreme Court. Adam G. Wclborn
was attorney for the claimant and T..
Il. Clyde for the Commissioners

Great libraries make few intelligent

My idea of good newspaper is 8
mirror of life itself. Some people
complain because the evil of tho

The evil must be reported as we'll as
the good, or how will we know what
to guard ourselves against or what
to reform There is chance for
discrimination as to how much space
shall be given to such things as prize
fights, but the newspaper that merely

dustrious newsboy, though shoeless
anG poorly clad, has in him the max

ON La Sale street the other

favor of this assertion. Near the cor

picked quarrel with small but why

lor fight, but he responded nobly to
the call and was furnishing the big fell
low severely, greatly to the delight of
a crowd of his friends who would
nave gladly rushed to his assistance
mad he appeared TO be getting any the
worst CT it, when up ratified the pa
roi wagon. Of course the officers
TOOK the wrong man, and the valiant
gamln was hustled into the wagon in
snort order. Then it was that his
business instinct asserted itself. AS
the wagon started off he singled his
partner" out in the crowd of boys
and yelled instructions to him as to
The proper care of his route the next
morning. His faithful associate ran
along with the wagon for a block or
TWO, making a mental note of the
reg lar customers" referred to by his
unfortunate friend, and the instruc-
tons given were carried out TO the let

TO make his mark in the world sooner

tinction is made, and nobody will find
it easy to explain the inconsistency. Ii
is safe to say that nude figure cen

any private house in Memphis. Ii
would be considered the height of inn
propriety to have such thing about
the place for young people to look at,
although it would probably be admit
ted that the work could not beaccused
of impure suggestion. since il repre-
sented only the human figure in re-
pose. 1t would be no more immodest
than the cuts in the physiologies that
the young folks study in school. On
the other hand, books are read by the
family that are not only full of vile
innuendo and calculated to give an
unhealthful stimulus to the magma
ton of the reader, but which have the
purpose of undermining the very
foundations of the home.
OSSlAtS W D6 genuine
craze for books Of this kind. The
most valuable advertisement that can
be given a new novel, for instance. is
to denounce it as immoral. The pub
lie does not want to know if it is nice
but if it is nasty. If the latter it is
read with avidity, and the book sellers
can scarcely supply the demand.
Memphis is scarcely SO eager for liter
airy filth as some other cities are rep
resented to be, but too many books Of
the Hernia Suydam" kind are sold
here. They are the outcroppings of
depraved minds which feed upon the
vices and WEAKNESSES of our nature,
and seek to spew them out upon so
ciety as true exemplars of humanity.
The brave, honorable men and pure
women, who are found on every side
of US, are left out of the collection of
these naturalists of the lola school.
No traits or impulses are wanted be-
