Needless TO Telephone.

If parents could see their own chill
dren as others see them it is to be
feared that the sum of human hap
piness would suffer a serious diminu-
ton. A boy of twelve years, more or
less, rang the doorbell of house not
long ago and said to the lady who
answered the summons:
Won't you please telephone to the
police station for met | have found

Poison in Young RattIesnakes.

CIuos and the Thirteen" Superstition.
The Thirteen club in America has
not been a success, taking into con-
sideration its fundamental principle
to combat al modern superstitions.
especially that one which teaches us
that the number ''thirteen" is fatal
and always unlucky. The club al
ways sits down with thirteen al table,
always on Friday, the supposed un-
luckiest day of the week: knives are
crossed, salt is spilled and everything
is done to tempt i'll luck, but il does
not come. On the other hand, nei-
ther does the popular belief that
thirteen. is unlucky disappear.

There is in operation in Switzer-
land an interesting plant for saving
stone. The saw on one of the largest
machines is over seven feet in diam
eter, and consists of a steel plate
mounted on a screwed spindle, along
which it can be shifted so as to vary
its position for making cuts of any
desired size. The rim of the saw is
studded with diamonds, which are
held in small disks of steel fitted into
recesses drilled into the saw near its
periphery. By this arrangement it
is possible to saw about one square
foot of hard marble per minute

A word Ax.ln., Extremes.

A great many people arc fond Of
overriding things. They carry prac-
tices and lis to extremes and in

desirable, for the great poet found
there was good in everything" The
general use of extremes is apt to
arouse suspicion as to sincerity. and
very justly so. Take, for example,
The use of mourning paper. Some
People adopt a paper bordered by a
black band fully half an inch in
width. To say nothing about good
taste, which may not be considered
under the circumstances, the use of
such paper is entirely too conspicu-

wealth. Rings and jewels are all
right if worn in moderation, but
true refinement never indulges in

Squirrels Raised byaCat.

Two or three weeks ago Mr.. Jack
Whites boys brought home two baby
flying squirrels. Mr.. White directed
the boys TO give them 10 the cat. 1t so
happened that the cat at the time had a
nest Of little kittens. The boys put
the squirrels in the nest with the kittens,
and they are with them yet. The squirrels
boarded right along with the kittens in
peace and unity, the old cat concurring.
They have grown and fourished on
their diet, and are shy of surroundings
only when frightened by unusual noise.

..THE DEEsTRICK sKULE."

To standing room only the "Old
Deestrick Skule" was presented at
the Opera House Non lay night. 1t was
for the benefit of the Kings Daugh-
ters, of Columbia, and the Masonic,
Widows and Orphans Home Ct
Nashville, and this fact, outside OF
any merit the entertainment pos
sessed in itself, served to fill the
house. The crowd expected To see a
good performance, and they were OF
very greatly disappointed except IN
the length of the program. 1t is en-
tirely too long, and was wearing on
the patience of the spectator who had
hardly elbow room.
While it is an exaggeration of
country schoo; life, even of half a
century ago, the "Skule" carried
many of the older ones in the audi
ence back in memory to childho ID s
happy days, and served to impress
the rising generation with the great
advantages for education which they
now possess.
DIR. w. II. Bumpas made a few in
troductory remarks, and the program
was opened with a recitation, Back
ward, turn backward, oh time in thy
flight" by Miss Carrie GoOdlet. An
extra number on the program was
the piano solo by Miss Margaret
Williams, of Columbia. 1t was ex-
auisiteIy rendered, and Miss Will
Jams was, recalled, and presented
with beautiful bOquets.
The program proper opened when
the curtain went up showing the
"children" going to "skule," along
the country road, some few studying
the "blue- back" boys playing mar
bles on the way, and the girls skip
ping the rope. Then came the teach
err, we'll impersonated by Mr.. Albert
S. Williams. Taking in skule" was
a laughabIe feature, the excuses for
late arrival being varied and interest
ing. The class recitations ELECTED
great deal of laughter, especially the
class in SIP -ling. Recess and play
time, calling books, the boy who
want d to go out, the boy who wanted
water all the time, the dunce-ail
served to produce laughter. Tue
visit of the trustees caused the teach
er and pupils to spruce up, and the
public exercises, speeches and compo-
sitiOns were very amusing.
One of the most striking and delight
full feature of the entertainment was
the Rotations by Miss Sara Fogle--
man. She is an accomplished
eIocutionist The Nashville Banjo,
Guitar and Mandolin G ub furnished
most delight | music, under the
direction Of Mr.. w. F. Allen.
Miss Minnie Holdings vocal solo
was pleasing feature and was warm
ly applauded.
