The American Tomboy.

The tomboy has never been regarded
as peculiarly the representative of fash
ion. Her ways are not the languid ways
that We have been taught are essential to
obtain recognition for her as social
"swell," but there is no doubt in healthy
minds that one day Of tomboydom is
worth many years of fashionable languor.
Without outlines of mannish vanity a
man may get down the world known truth
that the dearest object in woman's life
is mems approval and admiration
even as the dearest boon of man is wo-
mans approval and admiration. Per.
haps men endure men in more tolerant
and catholic spirit than that which ami.
mates woman in her relations to women.
But having agreed that the approval and
admiration of man as an institution are
the chief felicity of women, it becomes
important for women to know how to in
spire those sentiments in man.
They may practice all the clever arti.
fees of coquetry, employ all the applian.
ces ever devised "adornipg" their per.
sons and exercise their womanly diplo.
macy to comparatively little purpose if
they are feeble in body, languid in action
and ofsluggish blood. In such case man
may pity them, but he cannot admire
them. On the other hand, the tomboy,
whom most women recoil from with lit
tie shrieks of horror, become women
whose presence is adelightto men, whose
Joyous health and bubbling spirits and
unconquerable cheerfulness brighten her
world to tho farthest horizon. She is
not only an inspiring companion, but a
living, breathing, glorious incarnation of
Gesundheit, most benefcent tonic. To
look upon her is to feel the highest beau.
ty of living, and to be much in her So
ciety is to yield unto her the approval
and admiration that are dearer to the ay-
crage woman than even her powder rag.
When sensible men meet grown-up
tomboy and take involuntary note of her
royal mein, her elastic tread, her 1.-the
movements, her relish of the fresh air
and of beefsteak, they hasten to lay at
her feet their loyal admiration. They
quickly understand that she is no moan
ing drone, whose happiness consists Of
misery but one of themselves, so to say,
ready to front the responsibilities of life,
with joy that she has found the world a
theatre of action. Such q woman is a
mans exemplar and prod. In her pres
ence supineness or whisper would make
him ashamed. "In her track will be
sound philosophy; in her thought bold
ness and originality; in her heart heavens
purity, and the world is better that she
lives in it." Let us have some more
tomboys. Detroit Free Press.

The parents do not seem to realize the
great trust the impose in teacher-the
future growth and development of the
minds of their children. No man or wo-
man in the ordinary business affairs of
life act with 80 little thought. Oh! Some
says, but the teachers all have certificates
of qualification, which state that their
moral character is good, and that upon
examination, by those presumed to be
competent, they have shown themselves
we'll qualified to teach. This is true, and
every fact stated in these certificates
should be literally true. But it is i'm
possible by written examination to test
correctly the ability to teach, and Of
course the moral character part simple
means that the Examining Board
knows of nothing against the character
of the applicant But be all this as it
will, there is wonderful difference in
the ability to teach among teachers Of
the same grade.
If the teacher is right the books will
take care ofthemselves.

MEMPHIS, August 2.-E. S. Hammond,
district United States Judge, has handed
down his decision in the famous case of
r. M. King, the seventh-day Adventist,
who was convicted year agoof Sabbath.
breaking by ploughing on Sunday in
Obion County.
He appealed to the Supreme Court,
and the sentence was affirmed. Then
the Adyentists and National Secular As
sociation took up the case. Don NJ.
Dickenson was engaged as counsel, and
the case was taken to the Federal Court
last November on a writ of habeas cor
pus, the contention being that the con-
viction was contrary to the bill Of rights
Of Tennessee aud the Constitution of the
United States, and hai tie defendant
was held prisoner by the sheriff without
due process of law
The application was argued several
months ago, and Judge Hammond has
had it under advisement ever since. The
opinion is long and dwells exhaustively
on every phase of the arguments ad-
vanced in favor of the religious prisoner.
The defendant, however, is remanded
back to the custody of the sheriff to pay
the fine or serve the time in lieu, accord
ing to sentence.
The decision is based not so much on
the constitutionality Of Sabbath laws as
upon the fact that King was convicted
under due process of Tennessee law, and
it is not in the province of the Federal
Court to review the case. The Judge
says that it is not necessary to maintain
that to violate the Sunday observance
custom shall be of itself immoral to
make it criminal in the eyes of the law.
1t may be harmless in itself, because, as
the petitioner believes, God has not set
apart that day for rest and holiness, to
work Sunday, and yet, if man has set it
apart in due form by his law for rest, it
must be obeyed as mans law if not as
Gods law.

told Of its grandeur to appreciate the fact
that here the Almighty has touched and
breathed upon one of His creations and
given to its towering rocks and crags an
inspired beauty which 1t surpasses the
ability of man to fully appreciate and
far less describe. After the river winds
down the valley it comes to point
where the mountains rise up in its path

It is impossible for the river to flow over
the mountains and there is no way get

so it does. Entering the opening be-

river rushes downward through the bo.

plains beyond. Here in this canon may
be seen some of the most mastery engi-

up against the rocks in the wild shape

slows up on entering the Royal Gorge,

train flows the river, above the walls Of
the canon rise half q mile high aud are

soon emerges and seeks the endless plains
where the view is only obstructed by the

A Var Story.

COL Alfred Aldrich, of Barnwell, tells
good war anecdote about Gen. P. IL. B.
Young and some of his staff. In one of
the battles in Virginia Gen. Young was
thought by Maj. Church, his adjutant
general, and by Capt. Robert Aldrich,
who was assistant adjutant general, to be
mortally wounded. Maj. Church, be-
lieving that Gen. Young was going to die,
asked Capt. Aldrich to pray for him, but
the captain replied that he did not know
how, and he in turn requested the major
to pray, but the latter acknowledged that
he too did not know how to pray. Mr..
Sandy Dunken, of Barnwell, was the
orderly of staff. Maj. Church asked him
first aud then commanded him to pray.
Sandy gave the same excuse as his supe-
rior officers, but ho had to obey orders,
ike Jim Bludroe-
"ne was careless man In his talk,
And an awkward hand in row;
But he never lied and lie never Aanked,
reckon he never knowed how"
Sandy took off his cap and knelt by
the stretcher on which the wounded man
lay. He began to pray and to talk to the
Lord in quite favorable manner, about
as follows: You know, Lord, thegener-
al is badly wounded, aud not liable to re-
cover; have mercy on him, for you know
he has been wicked man.
Just then the general interrupted, and
said: Sandy, what is the use to remind
the Lord of that? Why don't you say
something good in my favor?
Sandy being interrupted, was discon-
certed and ceased praying, remarking
at be couldn't pray much nohow, and if
b couldn't do it in his own Way, he
wouldn't do it at all.
The general said that such prayers, re-
minding the Lord of his shortcomings,
we're not calculated to do man in bis
fix much good, and did not urge Sandy to
proceed any further.-Augusta Chronicle.

In the little speeches and recitations of
the school children on Fridays and at
other times there is not evidenced enough
pride and ambition. We are aware of
the fact that people generally, cry out
against pride and ambition, but both are
commendable, and should be in every
human heart. However, they should be
controlled, and not allowed to control.
And even the very manner and style in
which little recitation is delivered af.
fords an opportunity to the teacher for
work of the very best kind. Teachers,
seize every occasion to train the children
in the right way of thinking and doing.

ple's children. Thanks to the human
progress, women are now the educators of
children on all this broad land. There is
nothing in the calling that initiates
against their modesty or purity of

the world, but how far beyond this wo.

There is a growing, increasing doubt
upon this subject, especially considering

There is decided tendency among the
leading educators of the country against
the adoption of textbooks by the State.
The Superintendent of Public Instruction
of Virginia says: estate uniformity of
textbooks tends to despotism, corruption,
and intellectual DEATH" The prevailing
opinion seems to be that the State should
forbid the use of all books containing
false or offensive matter, but in other re-
spects each teacher should make his own
selection. And it is a fact that many of
the teachers disregard the adoption
made by the State and use the books of
their own choice.
To throw the schools all open to the
use of the best books regardless of State
adoption would bring down the price of
school books, improve the quality Of
work, and increase the efforts of authors
to give out better books.
Let the adoption of books in each
school depend on the merits, as regarded
by the teachers, and endeavor to raise
the standard of teachers to the point at
which there will be very little risk, if
any, in leaving the matter of books in
their hands.
There is not so much in the book as
there is in the teacher. A good teacher
will do good work with any book or even
a newspaper, while an inefficient teacher
will not do good work, it matters not
what books or helps he or she has. There.
fore, as it appears to the writer, the most
important part is in the selection of q
teacher. Too little attention is given to
this most important part of getting 9
good school.

Earliest Use of Forks.

The earliest distinct mention of the es- tablished use of forks occurs in a curious passage of Coryates' "Crudities," a sin gular book of travels published in Eng land in 1911. The author says: "Here I will mention thing that might have been spoken of before in the discourse of the first Italian towns. observed a custom in all these Italian cities and towns through which passed, that is not used in any other country saw in my travels, neither do I think any other nation of Christendom doth use it, but only in Italy. The Italians, and also most strangers that are travelling in Italy, do always at their meals use a little fork when they cut their meat."- Dry Goods Chronicle.

Skill in Serving Fish.

"Any one can serve fish," of course, but how does it look when pulled to pieces? To serve a trout, mark with a fish knife line starting at the head and extending within two inches of the tail, and then draw other lines starting from this one and running to the sides of the fish. A salmon is served in the same way as trout, while blue fish should be divided into two parts longitudinally; then remove the large bone and cut the fish into pieces in such way as to give each guest a portion of back and belly. The head of pike should be offered to lady. Barbels are served in the same way as trout and chub the same as pike.
 To serve turbot, "the prince of the sea-" mark a cross in the belly pene- trating to the bone; then draw trans versal lines from this line to the dorsal fin, dividing each slice so made into two pieces, and send the dish round so that the guests may help themselves. Next serve out the belly in the same way, and then remove the large bone and serve the other half of the fish. Turbot should be accompanied with white sauce made of butter with an oil dressing, and the tongue, as the choicest morsel, should be given to the principal guest.-Henry Haynie's Letter.

First Glass Factories in America.

The first glass factory in what is now the United States was erected in the year 1909 near Jamestown, Va, and the second in the same colony twelve years later. In 1889 some acres of ground were granted to glassmen in Salem, Mass. The first glass factory in Penn sylvania was built near Philadelphia in 1888 under the direction of William Penn, but it did not prove successful. The first west of the Alleghanies was set up by Albert Gallatin and his associates, in 17S5, at New Geneva, on the Monon- gahela river. A small factory was estab- ished on the Ohio river, near Pittsburg, in 1790, and another in 1795. The earlier attempt failed, but the last was quite successful. In 1910 there were but twenty-two glass factories, with an out put of less than $1 ,500, 900 annually. At the present time there are hundreds of factories, which yearly put over $100,- 000,0 ,0OO worth of glassware on the mar kets.-St. Louis Republic.
