OF the many curious objects, large
and small, which hid the walls and
filed almost all the available space
On the floor. 1t was clear that every
one of the specimens illustrated some
point in the great question of life and
death which formed the chief study
OF Keyork Arabian's latter years; for
by far the greater number of the
preparations were dead bodies, of
men, or women, of children, of ami
mails, to all of which the old man had
endeavored to inpart the appearance
of life, and in treating some of
which he had attained results
OF a startling nature. The oste-
ology of mar and beast was, indeed,
represented, for a huge case, cover
ing one whole wall, was filed to the
top with a collection of many hundred
skulls of all C. of mankind, and
where real specimens were missing,
their place was supplied by admirable
casts of %craniums; but this reredos, so
to call it, of bony heads. formed but a
vast, grinning background for the
bodies which stood and sat and lay in
half-raised collins and sarcophagi be-

methods of embalming.
On that evening when the Wander
err fell to the earth before the shadow
Of Beatrice, Keyork Arabian sat alone
in his charnel house.
A heavy book lay open on the table
by his side, and from time to time he
glanced at a phrase which seemed to
attract him. 1t vas always the same
phrase, and two words alone suficed
to bring him beck to the contempla-
ton of it. Those two words were

to speak aloud to himself, being by

it does not in any way follow that it

intelligence. It is not a condition of
life, but life is one of its conditions.
Does it leave the body when life is
artiicially prolonged in a state of
unconsciousness-by hypnotism, for
instance? Since its presence depends
directly on life, so far as l know, it

REGARDING the coming naval re-
view at Hampton Roads, which is to
be special feature incident to the
Worlds Fair, the New York Wora Of
Monday says:
To-day Rear Admiral Gherardi will
transfer his flag from the Baltimore 10
the PHILADELPHIA, which is to be his
flagship in the grand naval parade.
He will have in line under his COM
mand on that occasion forty-two mod
ern war vessels. They will have a
fighting power equal to four times their
number of old-time wooden line-of-
battle ships. Although this naval pa
rade may have been surpassed in
Europe, it will far exceed any gather
ing of warships ever before seen in
this country, and indeed any that is
likely to be seen here for many years
to come. There is no. coming ami
versary within the life time Of living
men that will be apt to secure the CO
operation of foreign nations in the
same degree and manner.

Not Everybody can Have the
Chance

To visit Washington; but that is no
valid reason why everybody may not
become thoroughly familiar with the
points OF interest at our National Capital,
and with many things about it that only
iourn there. For example, the Foreign
dred who visit Washington know any
quietly at home, without mourning the
fatigue and expense of the journey, and
see them all-all the magnificent rooms
and portraits of their occupants-in
Denorest's Family Magazine, the April num-
Der of which contains a charming paper,
euperbly illustrated, on "The Foreign
Legations at Washington. If you ad-
mire handsome women, you will find
portraits of over score of "SOciety
Leaders of Illinois" which form charm
ing gallery. The paper on "The Haw-
allan Islands is timely, and is uniquely
illustrated with portraits of all the kings
and queens who have reigned over that
island realm; 4 Debutante's Winter in
New York" contains much information
regarding the etiquette of marriage en-
gagements; ''En Route for Chicago" gives
excellent information for women who
purpose travelling alone to the Chicago
ExpositiOn; there are numerous excellent
stories, all the departments are full OF
good things; there are over two hundred
illustrations. including an Oil picture and
a crayon; and altogether it is a superb

INFORMATION from Washington is to
effect that President Cleveland wishes
it to be known that in the appoint
ment of consuls, and particularly to
places in South and Central America,
he will be guided largely by the ability
of the candidate for business. He
wants practical business men who
shall be Democrats, of course-men
who can assist in the expansion Of
American trade by their knowledge
of business affairs he wants these
consuls to be persons of experience in
all trade matters, SO that they can
readily recognize whether the port is
capable of becoming good markell
for American goods" This is
eminently right and proper, and such
a course should commend itself to all
thinking business men. The govern
ment does not need representatives
either at home or abroad who have no
higher qualifications or stronger claims
than the mere TACT that they fought in
the war on one side or the other, that:
they are fossilized back number
politicians or have served "the party
in one capacity or another.

In Defence of Hon. G.. B. Watson.

It was to be expected that such Re-
publican papers as the Winston Repub-
lican and Durham Globe would attack
Mr.. G. B. Watson for his argument in
favor of his antitrust bill. The Repub-
ican is always ready to seize upon
what it can for political advantage,
and the Globe never allows an oppor-
tunity to traduce good man to pass
by unimproved. It was expected that
these papers would jump on Mr.. Wat
son because he was honestly trying to
serve the people. But it is to be re-
GREETED that his motives have been as
sailed by respectable Democratic jour-
mails. There is room for doubt as to
whether Mr.. Watson's bill would &C
complish the object aimed at, but there
is no doubt that his purpose was to
carry into effect the Democratic plat
form in its declaration Of eternal hos
tility to trusts. A trust is no better
because it is controlled by our neigh
bors and friends. It is not thing to
be praised even if its promoters are
men who are liberal in giving and up
right in their personal living. The
nearer it is to us the more baneful is
its shadow and the more to he de-
nounced.-

NORTH CAROLINA AT THE
WORLDS FAIR.

While in Raleigh last week we
called at the Agricultural Department
and found active preparations being
made for the North Carolina exhibit at
the Worlds Fair. Commissioner Rob-
inson and Messrs T. K. Bruner and P.
NJ. Wilson were busy in their respective
offices, while Mr.. T. c. Harris curator
of the State museum, with competent
assistant was selecting the best and
most suitable articles in his depart
ment and arranging them in proper
shape to be sent to Chicago. We
were assured that North Carolina
would make most creditable and
gratifying display of her various pro-
ducts of the soil, woods, timbers, min
erals and precious stones. The cases
alone for this purpose will cost s., 900.
The designs were made specially for
this purpose and the work done in the
highest style of the mechanics art,
the woods being native North Caro-
lima timber. The rigid exactions of
the Worlds Fair management forced
the State to this large expenditure in
order to make its installation there
acceptable. The handsome antique
oak cases and pagodas will form a
beautiful setting for the States ex-
hibit. After the Worlds Fair is over
the entire exhibit, except the vegetables
and perishable articles, will be brought
back to Raleigh and placed in the
State museum. This will add much
to the attractiveness of that already
interesting place, and the expense and
trouble of getting up the exhibit for
the Worlds Fair will serve good
purpose long after the big show has
passed into history.

HOWARD ]. SCHNEIDER, the double
murderer of his young wife and her
brother in Washington city on the
1st of January, 1892, was hanged last
Friday. He belonged to a prominent
family and had wealthy connections,
and everything possible was done to
save him from the gallows. 1t is said
$4,000 were spent in his behalf, but
this is probably too high an estimate.
He had treated his wife cruelty until
she was forced to leave him and go to
her father. The crime which was one of
atrocious brutality was committed in
the most fashionable residence portion
of the city as his wife and her brother
we're returning from church, i'm
mediately opposite their home. He
richly deserved his fate.

Graded Schools.

Go to any live, growing town in this
or any other State and among the finest
buildings to be seen are those erected for
public schools.
In the West when a town is to be built
the people commence by first building
churches and school houses, approaching
the fact that without these success is i'm
possible. There the people do not wait
until big rows OF brick stores, palatial
hotels and princely mansions have been
built before building churches and school
houses, but the latter are built first and
the orthers follow. This order is the
natural and the most expedient one.
Were the order reversed it would be to
court failure in the very beginning. A
| town that is careless and Indifferent on
| the question of education is running a
| terrible risk and if it does grow it is be-
| cause its natural advantages are so
| great that some degree of success is una
| voidable.
One of the first questions asked about
any town now is "What kind ofschools
has it?" "What is it doing for educa-
| tiOn?'
The town which is trying to advertise
itself and induce people from other places
! to settle there has an up hill task if it
| has no system of public schools to which
it can point with pride and says: "There
is one of our recommendations" The
want of such a a system OF public schools
| is as a milestone around the neck of any
| town. No town can expect or hope to
| attain to its full growth without syst TEN
| Of public schools that will give to every
| one the chance of obtaining good prac-
| teal education.
The public school system is the only
| one by which any community can hope
| to bring an education within the reach
Of all classes of the people. No matter
| how superior the private schools may be
they cannot reach that very class OF
! people who stand most in need of educa-
| ton, the poor people who are not able
| to educate their children.
| There are many who are bitterly op-
posed to the idea of public schools on
| the ground that one man should not be
| taxed to exucate the children of a man
who pays no tax himself. That argu-
ment has long since been exploded, and
very few reasonable men ever use it now.
Every man owes something to the COM
munity in which he lives. "No man
! liveth unto himself alone" Our duty to
our fellow man is one we cannot shirk;
| twist and squirm as we may we cannot

do something for thecommunity in which
he lives and for the people who are his
neighbors and there are few better things
that he can do than to aid in building
up schools, thus placing within the reach
of the poorest an opportunity of acquir-
| ing sufficient education to make them
useful members of society.
| Good public schools are absolute neces-
sites for any town; indeed, there is
scarcely any getting along without them.
| They may be dispensed with for while,
but if they are not soon provided, any
| success which the town may have pre-
| viously had is checked, and progress
| thenceforward is backward and not for

This experiment station sends out
semi-weekly bulletins to any address
upon application. They must be very
expensive to print, and the question
naturally arises: are the benefits to the
farmers equal to the sum expended
for these examinations and publica-
tons?
What does the average farmer care
about the "mean nutrltlve ratio OF
fodder" "the undetermined carbohy-
drates of raw cotton Seed" "the
albuminoids' of cotton seed bulls and
the ''tree nitrogen extract of cotton
