w. r. C.,

Although the evening was anything but
propitieus the meeting was a most en-
joyable one.
The corps was highly entertained by
the report of Mrs. Kate Rich, who had re-.
presented us at Atchison. Mrs. Rich had
taken copious notes, besides which she
had fund of incidents explanatory to
the notes, all of which was very interest
ing and instructive.
Mrs Rich described to us the touching
scene of naming the post baby. A little
waif abandoned to the world, weighing at
three months, only eight and one-half
pounds. The child is now about fourteen
months old. Its name is Faith Sonborn
johnson Post" The latter being the
name of its adopted father. The COM
mander's wife has the baby in charge, and
it will receive all the love and care that
any baby needs. A neat little present, in
the shape Of small purse, was given the
little G. A. R. lady by the convention.
An enjoyable feature was an address
by Mother Bickerdyke, as she is familiar
ly called, Mrs. Mary A. Bickerdyke, now
Of Russell county, Kansas. A veteran
nurse, commissary agent and ablessing to
the boys in blue throughout the war.
Her work was mainly with Sherman's
division, where she cared for many Door
soldiers. rendering their last hours COM
paratively happy and comfortable.
The convention at Atchison was the
largest ever held in this department.
We felt on hearing the report of Mrs.
Rich that we were very happy indeed In
the selection of our representative who 90
creditably filed the position and who has
brought us an enthusiasm for corps work
that we know will benefit us in our COM
ing years work.
For the benefit of our country friends
and some Of our residents who find It in.
convenient to 60 out evenings, our next
regular meeting will be in the afternoon
at half past two O'clock, fourth Tuesday
in March. Will all who can be present?
We expect an unusually interesting meet
ing. Besides exemplifying the Ritual
there will be limitations and prepared
work on the following subjects: Mrn.
Title Hutzel, on committee of the whole:
Mrs. Rich and Mrs. Dietrich on debate
and department in corps work.
The following named ladies are CON-
mittee to meet with committee from pdhe

Last Saturday was one of the dullest
days ever experienced in Wa-Keeney.
It showed steadily from morning until
night and not solitary farmer could be
seen on our streets. However no one is
complaining, for the snow, although not
particularly needed, will do the wheat no
harm.

Cages Elements of Physics but any other
will do.
Every teacher should read standard
literature to an extent consistent with bus
spare time and purse, strings. do not
intend to say that he should read all OF
even any Of the current novels. but I do
say it would be both pleasant and profit
able to be able, when asked, to explain
to his pupils all illusions to such char
acters as Shylock or The Pilot or Van
Wrinkle or Topsy or Tam O'Shsnter and
dozens of others which come to the not
ice of pupils every day. In short the
teacher cannot have too large fund OF
general information and it may be aug
mented at very little cost.
Since the education of the pupil begins
with the education OF his grandparents
il il profitable for the teacher to study
the intimate relationship and connection
Of mind and matter as represented IN the
souls and bodies with which he deals. No
false ideas of modesty should be allowed
70 interfere with his study Of both, IN
Guiding their origin and growth. The
welfare Of the nation and the individual
depends on theiD proper nourishment

wood Ia Egyptian stonework.

Probably the oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to the
use Of man is that found in the ancient
temples of Egypt in connection with the
stoneworh. which is known to be at
least 400 years old. This, the only
wood used in the construction OF the
temples, is in tho form Of ties holding
the end Of one stone to another. When
two blocks were laid in place, an ex-
cayation about an inch deep was made
in each block. in which tie shaped like
an hour glass is driven. II is therefore
very difficult to force any stone from its
