Somebody has found out that Marie An
toinette's famous speech to the effect that
rather than starve she would eat pie-crust,
which has been variously perverted into
'past1y" or ego to the pastry cook" and
the like, was not such senseless one as
history has accredited 1t with being. 1t
was the practice, 1t seems, of some of the
French peasantry to bake their meat pies
in sort of crust or shell made of sawdust
and water. This was discarded when the
dish was done, but had some nutrition
from the juices which it absorbed 1t
WAS this "pie-crust." ususlly REGARDED as
an uneatable, to which she referred. And
1t may be added that the food scientists of
the present day are discovering that cellu-
lose or woody fber. practically sawdust,
which Is present in some food substances,
and which is supposed to have been worth
less food matter, has an Office to perform
u
fact which rejects an additional luster of
wisdom ON the heretofore trsditionslly
silly utterances OF the French queen.
The phosphate industry of Florida pro-
misses to become one of the most extsn-
sive in the State. The supply, 1t is said,
is practically inexhsustible. There are
two kinds mined, or taken out, the lock
and the pebble phosphate. The rock belt
begins in the center of the northern half
of the State, in Suwanee County, and ex
tends in southwesterly direction for q
distance not yet defined. More than forty
companies are at work In the belt. The
land pebble phosphate is found In the
vicinity of Lakeland and Barlow, in Polk
and Hillsboro Counties, where twelve com
psnies are mining 1t. Then there is the
river pebble phosphate, which is found in
the Peace River. The ports of shipment
are Fernando, Port Tampa, Brunswick,
and Punta Gords. Germany takes most
of the high-grsde rock phosphate, but it is
also exported to England, Holland, Italy,
and Southern France. In regard to the
supply 1t is said that the large pits along
the phosphate belt which have been ex-
cavated, and which have bsen worked,
some only one year and others two, now
show face of solid rock, so per cent. of
which is pure phosphate rock aud In some
instances more.

THE TIMES KODAK.
Items Of News Gathered About
Town.

Fully forty ladies and gentlemen, all
members, were in attendance yesterday
at the second meeting of the Roanoke
County Teachers Association, which
was held in ono of the large upper
rooms of the Salem public school build
ing. Prof. Stearnes, county superinten-
dent, called the body together. Mrs.
Palmer, the vice-president, then took
the chair, after which tho roll was
called, minutes read and reports of
several committees made. At o'clock
Prof. Stearnes led OF in the appointed
discussion of "How to Grade County
Schools" Prof. Stcarnes had drawn on
the blackboard a complete system of
grading the county schools on five-month
sessions, covering q course of instruc-
ton for nine years, similar 30 that used
in the most progressive Northern and
Western States, and which, if adopted,
will put Roanoke county not only ahead
of any in the State but of any in the
South in systematic education. This
system the professor fully explained in
q most interesting address.
After the superintend snt came Pro-
fessor Sheppe, who heartily seconded the
plans of the previous speaker and
thought that after they had been
slightly modified and systematized by
the teachers, they should go before tho
county board for adoption. Professor
Sheppe was followed by Mrs. Palmer,
who read very instructive paper upon
the matter which brought the morning
session to close.
In the afternoon the discussion was
resumed by Messrs. Barnhart. OF Bon
sacks; Painter, OF Vinton; Barnitg, of
Southview, and Professor Beahm, of
Daleville, Papers were also read by
Miss Ada Walden, of Fort Lewis, and
Miss Beulah Smithson, of Vinton.
When the matter had been thoroughly
discussed committee was appointed to
prepare uine year course of study for
county schools of five months sessions,
to be submitted to the county board in
August, and after receiving their ap-
prevail, the same to be published for cir
culation.
Prof. Sheppe then reported course
OF study for teachers covering a period
OF three years, and list OF books to be
used in the same, and recommended
that teachers be examined during this
course, and at the end receive a certifi-
cate.
Twenty names were then enrolled as
q reading circle of those who desired to
take this course and a committee was
appointed to prepare and send out
quarterly blanks of questions for the
reading circle to answer
Officers for the ensuing year we're
elected as follows: R. c. Stearnes,
president; Mrs. Palmer, vice. resident;
j. f. Sheppe- recording secretary; Prof.
Barnhart, corresponding secretary; n.
p. Painter treasurer. The president
was authorized to appoint five delegates
from this association to represent it at
the State association. which meets at
Salem at the commencement of the
School Of Methods. At = o'clock the
association adjourned to meet again the
second Saturday in July.

A Feat In Writing.

John J. Taylor, of Streator, Ills, once
wrote LOO words on the blank side of a
postal card. This was sent to a Chicago
paper, which heralded the story to the
world as being the most wonderful piece
of penwork ever executed. AS a matter
of fact Mr.. Taylor's effort has been dis
counted on several occasions. Beedle,
the penman Of Ottery st. Mary, Liver
pool, once wrote the following pieces en-
tire, without the slightest abb%reviation,
all upon a piece of cardboard 81 by 80
inches in size: Goldsmith's "Traveler,"
1.-THE Deserted Village, Essay on Edu-
cation, - "Distress of a Disabled Soldier"
"The Tale of Aim" Justice" "Gen-
crosby, "'~Irresolution of Youth, ""Frail-
ty of Man" 'Friendship'' and the "Ge-
MUS of Love-"
In the center Of the card there was a
perfect picture of Ottery church. all Of
the shades and lines being formed of
parts of the writing. As a kind of tale
piece he added the anthem of "God Save
the Queen" embellished it with seventy
two stars, %fifty-one crescents and nine
teen crosses, finishing the whole by draw
ing a picture of a serpent which inclosed
the whole of the miraculous production.
IF you wish to ascertain exactly how
much Beedle's effort exceeded that Of
Mr.. Taylor, count the words in the
Goldsmith pieces ~catalogued above.-St.
Louis Republic.
