Graded District Schools.

The following from the West Nir-
ginia School Journal will commend
itself to the school officers and teach
ers Of this county. This system has
been in operation in some districts OF
this county for many years past:
The manual and course of study to
go into operation in the country and
village schools throughout the State
at the beginning OF the next school
year, if faithfully carried out, must be-
the means of greatly improving the
public school work.
The chief defect in the teaching in
the country and village schools is its
irregular and fragmentary character.
But u small number OF all the chill
dren enrolled study all the eight
branches prescribed, and they all are
necessary and should be studied by
every child.
For some of this irregular work the
teacher is responsible aud much OF it
has been beyond his control.
In a number OF States in which
steps have been taken to grade the
country schools the results are very
gratifying SO far, and with the neces-
sary labor by teachers and superln-
tendents, we believe the results will
be satisfactory in West Virginia.
We believe most sincerely that in
no other way can the ungraded
schools be made efficient.
A number of counties have already
done some good preliminary work in
this direction, but the small pay,
short term and frequent change in
the Office OF county superintendent
have prevented to a large degree the
continuance Of the good work begun.
We cannot hope for complete sue
cess until county superintendent are
paid fair salary and are kept in of
flee from at least four to eight years,
and each county superintendent
given as many assistants as Will en-
able him to do thorough work.

The Wheat Prospect.

The wheat crop in this section Of
the Shenandoah Valley will not be a
large one. The drought during the
month Of April and the first OF May
very materially injured the growing
plants, and from present indications
some fields, more particularly those
which were sown late, will not make
five bushels to the acre. Then, too,
the glen weed has sprung up in great
quantities in some places and is chok-
ing out the wheat The wheat il
now coming out in head, and while
some fields look splendidly and will
probably make a big yield, others
present very sickly appearance. a
good rain is much needed.

Ex-senator j. y. Camden Is author
ity for the statement that $4,000, 600
have been raised to spend in railroad
building in West Virginia within the
next sixteen months. This is strong
evidence of the faith of capitalists in
this rich and growing State. There
is no State in the Union with brighter
prospects before it than West Virgin
ia. Certainly no State has more min
eral and timber wealth, both in guam
tity and quality.
The Norfolk and Western Railrp al

put on a new schedule June LIST. First
class fare is reduced from 81 to 3 cents
per mile. second class fare from 10 .
7-1O cents. II reduction of ii per cent
in first-class fare and 10 per cent. in
second-class fare. The reduction is
made on account OF an increase in
passenger traffic.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
will shortly begin to lay an additional
track on the Metropolitan branch
from Kensington TO Rockville. The
distance will be about FIVE miles.
This will give the road double track
from Washington to GaithersburS,
about twenty miles.
The Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company has made reduction III Its
passenger rates. Round-trip tickets
will be sold at two cents per mile,
good for two days, and tickets sold
ON Saturday are good to return on
Monday.
There is talk of strike among the
BS o. Railroad men who will be

Rider Haggard Has n Real Adventure in
Mexico.
NEW YORK, April 3.-Rider Haggard. that
blonde and athletic gentleman who dis
covered Cleopatra, unfolded King Solomon's
Mines and found She, has lately had quite
a thrilling adventure of his own. Mr.. Hag-
gard and his wife went to Mexico last fall
in search of adventures. and dramatically
crowned their successful expedition by the
interesting feat of losing one another way
down on the Mexican sea coast, only to be
reunited Unexpectedly and with all the
spontaneous Joy of a long lost couple at
their hotel in New York.
And this is the way it all came about.
After protracted wanderings through the
wilds of Mexico, along rivers and noun
tains SO remote from the highways of travel
that the progress was possible only in
canoes or on muleback. Mr.. and Mrs. Hae-
gard reached the city of Vera Cruz.
Their plans had been SO arranged that
they were to sail north along the Atlantic
coast to New York, and while waiting for
their steamer Mr.. Haggard took a little
coasting steamer and made several vov-
ages up n down the Mexican seaboard in
search of curiosities and traditions.
When he returned to Vera Cruz there was
no sign of Mrs. Haggard or the steamer.
That he should be alarmed was only natur-
al. That his Anglo-Saxon common sense
should have come to the rescue and assured
iii that Mrs. Haggard was mot lost. but
gone BEFORE was also natural. but it
would be a long time before another steam
er and a good many davs before Mrs. Hap-
gard. wee she on the City of Washington,
could reach a point at which he could com
municate with her by telegraph.
So, with his mine still tempered by a
spice of fear, he too to the railroad and
came as fast as steam could bring him to
New York city, where he arrived Sunday
night. Not knowing exactly what day the
City of Washington would land here. the
great African story-teller teleRraphed from
Decatur, Ala, to the office of Ewing H,
Low in this city, who had his tour in
charge. that Mrs. Haggard was probably on
the City of Washington, and that he would
arrive by rail on Sunday evening,
When he did arrive in the Grand Central
depot he was still in ignorance of the
whereabouts of Mrs. Haggard. He was
driven post haste to the Victoria hotel
and there in the corridor by the parlol
door, one utterly unconscious of the other
presence in the CITY or house. the Hae
CARDS, who we're lost in Mexico. were re
united in New York, and the romancers
little romance was ended. They will sal
for home on the Germanlc Wednesday,.

Damaged by Snow.

NEW York, April 3.-The heavy snow
storm which swept over this section last
night did considerable damage, particular
ly to the east of New York. The storm wac
accompanied in many places by a heavy
wet snow. and this, aided by a high wind,
demoralized telegraph wires to a great ex'
tent. A dispatch from Poughkeepsie saws
a heavy snowstorm ragged in the Hudson
river valley all night. About a foot of snow
fell, but only six inches lay for any length
OF time. The telegraph and electric liaht
wires were crossed and are down in ever,
direction. 1t will take a week or ten dayl
to get them in good working order again
The weather is now clearing and the snoy
rapidly disappearing.
