AN EDUCATIONAL QUESTION.
A Case in which tho Teachers Trim
mIngs We're Wasted


One pleasant May morning as rode
down into the valley OF the Cumberland,
from Hurricane Gap, / noticed a log
shoolhouse some distance from the
main highway, and as IL was recess, l
thought I'd ride over and see how the
cause OF education was progressing in
the mountain Businesses. The teacher,
q long and lank personality draped in
homespun, YVES sitting on stump sun
ming himself, and be seemed glad TO see
me as / drew in toward him.
How arc you?" l SAID in greeting.
"I just came over to see how you are
getting along with your school. I'm
interested in the cause OF education"
WELL" be replied in the drawl OF
his kind. "'taint much in these parts,

seem 20 have very good school,"
bout ez good ez any Nv EN-, reck-
on, but faint no great shakes"
whats the matter with it?"
"Dinged eff know"
What do you teach?"
"Joggerpe, 'rithmetic, readin',
writin' an spellin', an throw in some
trimmin's occasionally"
"rrimmingS?"
Eyes, grammar an history an SIGH

oh" and almost laughed. Have
you any classes In those branches?"
Not now l hain't."
"Graduated?"
"Quituated.
"How?"
He got up from tho stump and sat
down on log.
ITS that ez has shook my faith in
the educational business in these
parts" he said, as If greatly disappoint-
ed. you see, the biggest gal in school

r,tractlnc Juices Erom Fruits.

The diffusion process of extracting
Juice from fruits is gaining ground. II
has long been applied in France ia the
extraction of beet root juice for sugar,
and II is now used in making cider
without a cider mill or a cider press.
In crushing and pressing the apples
the pure fruit Juice is not obtained, for
much albuminoid matter is extracted
with il from the the cells. In the new
process the juice is washed out from
sliced fruit with cold water. Warm
water acts more quickly, but the result
ia not nearly 30 Sayory. The water
passes from one compartment filed
with fruit TO another, and the process
is so arranged that in each it meets
fresher fruit than in the last, so that it
leaves saturated with juice, or rather it
and the Juice change places, so that
nearly pure juice issues from the ma
chine. The results are said TO be salts

FLOWERS AND SMELLING SALTS.
Do They Cause Loss OF Voice and Dear
ness In Some Persons?


ness In Some Persons?
A physician commenting the other
dav upon the prevalence OF deafness
said that the affection, In q greater or
less degree, was almost universal among
mis- women patients. he had been seek
ing, ia \ desultory way, for cause and
had about decided that the use OF
strong salts In the smelling bottle oil
the fashionable woman had something
TO do with il.
In one case he was positive that such
was the fact, for il was after nervous
attack OF about six weeks duration,
through which his patient seemed TO be
kept up only by constantly burylng her
nose in her vinaigrette, kept fresh.
ly and strongly filed, that she noticed
that the hearing OF one ear became de-
fectve. The illness occurred last sum-
mer, but the deafness remains without
increase. Another case, well suthenti-
Gated, was OF permanent and severe
deafness dating from an inhalation OF
ether.
In this connection fact recent
~ commented upon in al English print
is Ol lulclGcbs
This was that the smelling OF freshly
cut flowers, and even in lesser degree
OF extracts and other artificial per-
fumes, has a pronounced and immediate
effect upon the voice. Patti is quoted
as saying that even sachet OF iris pow
der has weakened her voice for time
and Nilsson will be hoarse for days II
she smells OF Violets or lilacS. Recent
va great artistic engaged TO sing at an
at.home given by one OF the Rothscnilds
lost her voice completely after briefly
shifting at large bouquet OF Vlolets
that had been presented TO her.
The curious part is that tho delicate
perfume OF the violet seems the most
serious Of oil. After that como the
tuberose, mimosa, lilac and hyacinth.
The fact has become so we'll recognized
that all the Continental directors OF
operas forbid the presence OF bouquets
in the dressing rooms.
The doctors are unable to explain
this condition beyond the fact that all
these perfumes affect the larynX and
thus injure the voice, which fact will
tend to confirm the physicians diagno-
sis that the ear passages are affected by
smellin z salts.

so pleasant that the evening hours
wore away with astonishing rapidity.
He came TO his senses at an hour long

here to-day in the Circuit Court in favor
of Mrs. Lilly W. Robinson, admlnlstra-

on the part Of the company In furnish
ing defective engine and a defective
track. The case was bitterly and holly
