Beg" Mr.. Wallace C. Peigler, au indus
trious young Farmer, living just below this
town was so horribly gored by bull last
Wednesday afternoon that it is not probable
he will recover from it,
1t seems that Mr.. Peiger had chained the
bull around tho horns to tree, and was in
the act of putting some Goth under the chain
to keep it from rubbing the animals head,
when the brute turned upon him and tossed
him in the air, one of his horns penetrating
the lower part of his stomach and body, terri
bly, tearing the skin Of the abdomen and
bruising his body in horrible manner.
The animal had been worked some years
by MIR. Peigler, and was getting old and
vicious, and Mr.. Peigler had frequent warn
ings that he had become dangerous.

ALABAMAs SCHOOL TAx.-Ths Legisla-
ture of Alabama has presented to the vote Of
the people a constitutional amendment pro-
viding that the school taxes Of the white
people shall be devoted to the education of
the white children, and that the schools for
the blacks shall receive for their support
only the taxes paid by the colored people.
II this amendment is ratified there is dark
outlook for the colored children. II is esti-
mated that now fully IS per cent. of the
money spent on the colored schools comes
out of the white peoples pockets.

The true literary man is no mere cleaner,
following in the rear and gathering up the
fragments Of the worlds thought but he
goes down deep into the heart Of humanity,
watches its tbrobbings, analyses the forces
at work there, traces out with prophetic
foresight their tendencies, and thus standing
far above his age he holds up the picture Of
what il is and is to be.

The old necessities have passed away we
now have strong and living languages rich
in literature, replete with high aud earnest
thought-the language Of science, religion
and liberty-and yet we bid our children
feed their spirits on the life of the dead ages
instead of the inspiring life and vigor Of Our
own times. We do not object to classical
learning-far from it-but we would not
have it exclude the living present.

Bay" We havo often seen and heard of
boys being egged on to fight by their
sc hoolmates, but the charge that United
States Senator and the Adjutant and Inspec-
tor General of State were legged ON to
mortal combat by certain minfiuential news
papers is too contemptibly absurd and too
insulting to the honor of those gentlemen to
be accepted by any but abject politicians.
1t certainly has no weight with those who
know the two men. In the first place, they
are not such fools as to allow newspapers
politically opposed to them to egg them on
to do an act that would cause them TO for
swear themselves, forfeit their offices and
deprive them of the right to hold office
thereafter.
Brave men require no prompting or egg
log on TO defend their honor and good name,
but would be very likely to Indignantly say
to any otficious interloper, from either side,
as Olhello said TO Iago an / Raierigo, "werc
it my cue TO fight, should have known il

Character In Gait.

Gait is an important part Of physical
expression. By his gait man tells Us
whether he is fresh or tired, strong or
feeble, in good health or in bad. To some
extent also gait denotes occupation. The
upright and somewhat rigid walk of the
soldier differs largely from the rather
rolling gait of the sailor, and different
from both of these is the slow, jolting
gait of the country laborer, which, how
ever, is partly accounted for by his clum-
sy and heavy boots. In the peculiarities
of gait, again, an attentive eye discovers
many moral qualities. Slow steps, wheth-
er long or short, suggest a gentle or reflect.
i've state Of mind as the case may be.
while on the contrary quick steps seem
to speak Of agitation and energy.
Reflection is revealed in frequent
pauses, and walking to and fro, back
ward and forward, the direction Of the
steps wavering and following every
changing impulse of the mind, inevitably
betrays uncertainty, hesitation and in
decision. 1t might be asking too curious
q knowledge to distinguish by their re-
spective gaits the miser, the spendthrift
and the philanthropist, but the proud
man is almost always known by his step
the vain man to some extent and the OBJ
stinate man not ittle.--Leisure Hour.

Most Young Men Arc Afraid Of Babies.

"The average young man." said a
traveller, "has no great fondness for
young children. / don't know how
many times have heard mother who
was carrying little child, and who had
halted in the aisle of railroad car say,
referring to the vacant seat and ad-
dressing the young man by the window,
is this seat takeny And / don't know
how many times l have seen the young
mans face lengthen as he answered po-
litely, No.. The mother takes the seat
and the young man begins to grow rest
less. He reads the paper still, but he
keeps his eye on the baby, and you may
be sure the baby has its eye on him--a
beaming, good natured eye tits, too-and
the young man finds it not the easiest
thing in the world to appear wholly un-
constrained with attention thus drawn
to him, but he makes bluff at it and
does pretty well until the infant mois-
tens one chubby fist in its mouth and
reaches out to make print of it on the
lapel of the young mans coat. Then
the young man rises. Madam he
says, let me give you this seat and he
steps out into the aisle. And he doesn't
look for another seat in that car. He
makes bee line for the smoker. New

pueling In France.

Until within few years dueling in
France was SO common that 5000 such
encounters were fought every year. The
vast majority of these occurred in the
army, but in 1890 M. de Freycinet. the
minister of war, discouraged the prac-
tice and rendered it optional under cir
cumstances in which it had been consid-
cred imperative. Among civilians, how
ever, the game goes merrily on, being
chiefly sustained by angry politicians or
excited journalists. 1t was calculated
in 1886 that since 1870 s47 duels had
been fought in France outside the army.
In only nine instances were any of the
combatants disabled, while 9S per cent
of those engaged left the field unscathed.

why Grow old.

find that if old people are put on a
good meat diet in the way OF stxong
soup, beef tea and animal food, and only
just sufficient farinaceous food and fats
and sugar to maintain the heat of the
body, they increase wonderfully in en-
ergy and, as they often express it, feel
90 years younger. This is only natural;
1t is a food. of energy-the food that
builds up muscle, nerve and constitu-
tional stamina.
The requirements of the system in old
age as rule are not great, and more
harm is done by taking too much food
than by taking too little. have known
people considerably over 20 to derive the
greatest benefit from thorough change
in diet. 1t seems to rejuvenate them.
OF course in old age care should be taken
that the body is not subjected to rapid
changes of temperature. When the ner-
vous power is decreasing as the result
of age and the system is losing its power
of combating cold and strain upon its
energy, stimulating diet invigorates
and is conducive to maintaining consti-
tutional stamina better than any other.

Living on a perxarly s1o. COO.

No one who has not actually mixed
with New York dandies knows how
much they spend. A social philosopher
has lately reckoned that young man
about town, who takes his part in the
good things which are going, cannot
dress under $1,000 year. His tailor's
bill will eat half of this, his shirts and
'.gentlemen's furnishings quarter, his
boots not less than 1925. twill cost oves
$500 to outfit him for yachting, tennis
and polo. Then add to this his bill for
horses, his club bill, his florists bill. his
restaurant bill, his lodging bill and the
nameless sundries which constitute one
half of the outlay of a young man about
town, and it will be sren that man may
have $4,000 year and yet be familiar
with the face Of duns.
One Of the oldest and wisest clubmen
of the day recently, after an hours study
of the necessaries Of life for man Of
fashion, declared that he would advise
no one to attempt the life with less than

The Food We Eat.

Hardly day passes that we do not re-
ceive some shock, that we are not asked
to give up some favorite dish around
which clusters host of tender early
memories, and after eating of which we
have for 20 years on end felt ourselves
grow fat and childlike and undyspeptic.
But the modern hygiene says it must go.
and if we retain it ON our list we do it in
an anxious and guilty mood sure of it
self to beget internal trouble.
Seemingly simple things like dry toast,
oatmeal and apples we have heard for
hidden of late as hard to take care Of,
and bananas, or, for example, the deli.
cious, but as we supposed deadly, fried
bacon cried up as food for babes and,
sucklings. This is puzzling7-it, goes
against personal experience, it upsets all
our dietary plans and pleasures. and it
awakens the shrswd suspicion thatmere
fashion is at the bottom of the change.
