There are some branches Of popular ed

not found In our curriculum. No lnstruo-

but no feature In school Is
so attractive and refining and tends so
much to popularizs It as vocal music. In
the want of this department the schools OK
Savannah stand almost alone. Any move
ment on the part of the board TO provide
for instruction in vocal music will i am sure,
receive the hearty approval Of the people,
and for that reason I recommend that some
action be taken in that direction. There
seems to be a general desire In the commu-
nifty to have bookkeeping, typewrtting aud
stenography taught to our older pupils.
The possession of a knowledge OF these
branches Is a passport to eligible positions
in commercial houses, and the boy who is 30
fortunate as to have learned them stands on
vantage ground. The propriety OF adding
these branches to our curriculum Is we'll
worthy the consideration of the board of

OVER THREE INoaRs OF RAIN.

Rice Planters Anxious Over the Effect
Upon rhe Grain.
The rainfall yesterday was the heaviest in
several months, reaching the unusual fig
ure Of nearly 81 inches for the twenty-four
hours ending at O'Clock last night. This
figure is seldom reached. as the weather
bureau reports show.
There is considerable concern as TO the
effect of so much rain upon tine rice crop
Rice men who were seen yesterday said tina b
IL the weather clears Off now the damage
will be small, as the rice crop is somewhat
late and not 80 liable to damage az it would
have been In a more advanced condition
However, two or three more days Of con-
tinued rain would have a very disastrous
effect upon the crop. Large quantities Of
rice have been cut and are lying upon the
ground, where 1t would be very easily dam
aged.
Wind aud heavy rain together will beat
down the standing crop and cause heavy
| damage. The Louisiana planters have
already suffered serious losses from these

sPL ENDID CARPETS

Made by the Gobelins for Fontaine-
bleau and Worth Fortune.
Paris Letter to Philadelphia Telegraph.
President Carnot and his family are
safely established at Fontainebleau, and are
probably enjoying to the full the spacious
apartments of the palace, as we'll as their
daily drives In the forest The present
ruler of France is altogether considerable of
the wants and wishes Of the holiday-makers
and the tourists who come tc
visit Fontainebleau. The suites Of
private apartments are altogether SAD
arate from the historical rooms
OF the palace. Imean to make O pilgrim
age thither shortly in order to sea two won
derful carpets which have recently been
transferred to the palace by the presidents
orders, and which are said to be the most
superb articles of the kind in the world.
They were ordered by Napoleon III, at the
Gobelin mandatory In 1858. They are of
colossal dimensions, one being nearly 80 feet
square. while the other Is II yards long and
10 yards wide.
It took ten years to complete them. and
once finished their extraordinary size caused
them to be packed away In the storehouse
of Les Gobelins, whence they were not ex-
tracted even TO be exhibited at the exhibi-
tions OF 1873 and 1889. They are the finest
for the French government since Louis
XIV. ordered "ninesy-three carpets for
ceremonies and festivals to be- manufact-
| ured at La Savonnerie for the great ball
rooms and reception rooms Of the Louvre and
of Versailles. The smaller of the two.
which has yellow ground, is set down in
the inventory as being worth $4,000, the
larger, the ground OF which is black. being
estimated at $4,000. though the real value
OF each is stated to be at least double.
The president has given orders TO have
them transferred to FontainebIeau, where
one of them will be put down in the Sale
du Pape" and where pathways of linen will
be arranged over it to prevent any damage
from the feet of visitors. 1t was NJ. Carnot
himself who suggested this destination for
these splendid but impracticable articles.
They are so huge that, though they have
been offered repeatedly to the Society of
Decorative Art to be shown at their annual
exhibition, it has always been found impos-
sible to utilize them. What was their orig
inal destination That no one seems to
know. Probably they were intended as
gifts from the emperor to some one of his
fellow sovereigns.

The Costumes in Which This Style Is

From the Boston Transcript.
Even those dear, modest daughters of

with certain envy, when they see happy,

OF suit do they wearl How can one make
the thingss And, when mounting or DIS

NO, dear, they can be much more graceful
than the ordinary habit, and there is room
for individual taste.
One young woman, a frequent rider, and
one who IN California takes many long exr
ploring tours, has made very full skirt
about twice the volume of an ordinary
gathered skirt, and this she folds under her
on the saddle SO as TO allow on either side an
ample covering to the foot. This she has
found to be invaluable, as it "stays put"
and cannot fly about in the breeze.
Another young Californian has succeeded
In having made most comfortable, neat
and picturesque suit, the skirt-of rather
lightweight green cloth-being simply two
skirts, the regulation divided article, only
much fuller, and, of course, to Just clear the
ground. This is the nearest approach to the
horrifying idea of trousers When viewed
from either side the rider looks very tall and
sylphlike as the skirt hangs straight down
and clings There should be riding trousers
under this.
But the palm for grace, comfort, and in
conspicuousness Is awarded to q maiden,
who, spending some time in Boston aud
wishing to go properly out to Belmont and
taking riding lessons, was transported to a
ranch In the beautiful mountains of the
golden west, presented with a 4.year-old
broncho OF bucking fame, and told Ito ride u

out OF harmony, and cannot dismount to

again. In detail this suit is composed of
full trousers, perhaps three feet In circum-
ference at the bottom, and reaching 60 the
heel. Over these the skirt, which gains
in being plated, instead Of gathered and

full. In front and back it is divided and
each side hemmed up three-fourths Of
the length, and then the four corners

that OF pretty plated skirt more fam

In walking, should the wind catch it, it is
never awkward, and the undivided skirt

the nature of it. With these sensible skirts
you are not obliged to wriggle into the stiff
corsetted bodice, but any manner OF making
the upper portion of the garment may be
adopted, provided it is long-waisted and has
slender, trim effect.

A Suggestion for the Health Authori-
ties to act Upon.
Beyond the ssizing and destroying Of No.
Q meats, the city is making no extraordi-
nary movement in sanitary direction. 1t
is claimed that the thorough overhauling
given the streets and lanes in the spring
and early summer by Alderman
Harmon's force put the city in
excellent sanitary condition, and there 10
no necessity for anything now except to
make people keep their premises clean, and
the sanitary inspectors are diligently attend
ing to affairs in this direction.
The suggestion has been made that many
cellars in the business section of the city
are IN an unsanitary condition
Many Of these cellars are so situated that
the sun never gets into them with any eff
feet and necessarily they are TO q certain
extent damp. Some are not used except
for storing old refuse, barrels, boxes, etc.,
and with the decay OF these articles the san
itary condition OF the cellars can hardly be
called first~class.
-Four years ago, when the city was threat
ened with yellow fever, the health authori-
ties undertook TO look after the cellars, and
for quite awhile sufficient work was found
to keep the sanitary department. busy. No
harm would result from the sanitary board
taking up the cellar question now.
