The British acquisition of the Punjab

to the average Brahmin and Rajpoot
farmer. At the time of the annexation
wife could be purchased for from

Teachers Summer School.

A Summer School will be conducted
at Port Huron, Michigan, beginning
July eth, and continuing till August
9th. This school will be followed by
the regular teachers examination.
The object of the school is to give
teachers philosophical understand
ing of the latest and best methods of
teaching, and, at the same time, pre-
pare them to pass satisfactory examin-
ations for teachers certificates in any
of the branches required for the diff
ferent grades of certificates.
The new Supt. of Public instruction
has raised the standard of qualifica-
tions for teaching, and the examina-
tions are more extensive and difficult
than they have been heretofore. AT
the succeeding examinations tho
rough knowledge of Psychology and
the theory and art of teaching will be
especially valuable. All who deisre to
prepare to meet the new requirements
should avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity.
The tuition for the term will be $500.
This will admit teachers to all the
classes that they wish to join. Board
and rooms can be had in private fam
lies at reasonably low rates, and, by
economy, the expenses for the advan-
tages which this school will afford
may be reduced very low.
The corps of instructors and lectur-
ers are j. f. O'Keefe, principal Sag
inaw training school; j. III. Beazell,
principal Port Huron High School;
Miss Lille Storck, teacher in Saginaw
training school; Mrs. $. A. Crane,
teacher in Port Huron high school;

national Business College, Port Huron;

Source of SOlomOn's Gold.

Recent political events on the south
east coast of Africa give renewed inter-
est to the theory that the famous king
dom of Ophir, from which came much
of the vast wealth of Solomon, was To-
Gated in this vicinity Not only is the
name Sofaia, which is the head of bay
opposite Madagascar, possible corrup-
tion of Ophir, but travellers have found
an astonishing quantity of gold in the
hands of the natives, while several ex-
plorers have met with most remarkable
ruins in the interior. These remains are
unlike any Others found in the Dark Con-
tinent, being great Enclosures made
from granite blocks regularly laid and
sometimes cemented. These works must
have been built by foreign invaders,
probably representatives of one of the
great commercial powers of the ancient
neutrality-suspicious., Hebrews, Pheni-
clans or Egyptians--and add strong con-
tirmation to the belief that here was the
kingdom of Ophir. (N. J)

How to Pack Cut Flowers.

This is the.>ay florists pack their cut
flowers for long distance journeys: They
take box large enough to hold twice
as many flowers as they wish to send.
First, they line it all about with brown
paper; then a layer of cotton, and brown
paper again. That makes sort of an
air chamber all about the box. They
then lay the flowers in the box in two
rows, stems pointing together in the
middle, with slight aisle, as it were,
right down the exact middle of the box.
to give freedom and prevent crushing.
Then two upright strips of wood or
cardboard are laid parallel along the
middle, with two-inch space between
them, filled with ice. That is the way
you must pack your flowers if you want
them to be fresh as the proverbial daisy
when they reach their destination.

Syrup !.

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890.
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. I am farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At.the beginning oflast
Winter was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where I got well
drenched i'll shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until had
to seek relief. / consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died. and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee' German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and l caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottlesof German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"
