A Boyle county, KY, correspon-
dent says: "Our local traders have
been buying for shipment in bulk,
a few crops Of Irish potatoes at 30
and 35c per bushel. Some Of the
largest and best crops have been
grown in the Bryantsville district Of
our county by l.. w. Hudson,
Yates Hudson and Others, the lat
ter reported a yield Of $50 bushels
to the acre. This will beat forty
|five-ceLt-wheat all out Of sight.
Diversified agriculture is the lesson
that hard times has taught, and to
those who practice it the experience
will be valuable. There are other
things beside corn and wheat that
our wonderful soil and climate will
produce and we need to find out
what they are and give attention to
them.'

The National Education assocla-
Ition at Asbury Park has had
Thought to its attention by the State
lTeachers Association Of Texas some
resolutions which merit hearty con
sideration and Endorsement. The
resolutions which were first passed
lby the Texas organization in re-
cent session, were drawn up In
view Of the existing social and eco
nomic troubles and contemplate the
adoption of such steps on the part
of school teachers as will add to the
school curriculum a course OF in
struction inculcating mot only a
broader patriotism, but the rights
and duties of citizenship, the rights
of property and the security and
sacredness of human life.
That the adoption OF some such
plan for preparing the children OF
this country for their duties as citl-
iIzens is needed there can be little
doubt. Admirable as they ale IN
many regards and excellent In re-
suits, the school systems now IN
general use are not calculated to
lit pupils for citizenship save inso'
much as education and competent
training must measurably ht then
lIfor it. In majority OF cases thu
:, s,boys who leave school are reasona
bly well equipped to enter upor
business pursuits and have acqulr
ed knowledge of all that somewha

principles of civil government am
vIof the social duties which coniron
every citizen who, being cast int
! society, is forced to take his shar
/. of the social responsibility.
1t would be wise for the member
: of the National Educational assoc
. alton to consider seriously whethe
it is not possible to inject into III
a school curriculum some feature
: which will supply this missing ell
:. ment. The plan, however, II 1t !
put into operation, need not !
elaborate and the public has alread
had too much experience with IL
adoption of "fads" in commo
:, schools to approve of any cost
and time-spending scheme for dee
al studies into theory and economics
y But some simple study, by whic
children could be taught the ell
= ments Of civil government, and II

indianapolis Sentinel
The New York security and trust
company Of New York has filed
bill OF complaint in the United
States court against the Louisville,
Evansville & st. Louis consolida-
ted railroad company, in which it
is asked that the court appoint a
receiver for the road, presumably
other than the receivers who now
have possession Of it, at the request
Of Barrett & Wilson, who represent
certain bondholders. Erastus r.
Huston, of Evansville is also made
"a defendant.
According to the bill filed the
louisville, Evansville & st. Louis
consolidated railroad company ex-
,,ecuted to the New York security
and trust company, and to Josephus
Collett, of Terre Haute, deed OF
trust to secure bonds to the amout
lof IS, ,OOO, 900, bearing date of July
III, 1889, the deed Of trust being Of
the same date. Collett, it is set
forth, has since that time died, and
p the New York security and trust
5 company remains the sole trustee.
1t is further set forth that in order
Ito secure the principal and inter-
est Of the bonds in the trust deed,
the company assigned all its pro-
perty, both real and personal, and
all it might hereafter come into pos
session of, to the trustees and to
;, their successors in the trust.
The complaint fnrther shows that
! there was a provision in the bonds
I under the security Of the deed Of
s,trust referred to, that interest should
be paid semi-annualiy, and that in
!, case Of failure on the part Of the
e company to pay the interest, and
aIdefault of more than six months, the
u principal and interest should be-
come due and payable. Ii is then
Z shown that no interest was paid
y Jan. 1, 1894, nor since that date !;
that the company is wholly insol-
,e vent, and that to secure the net
teearnings Of the road to the bond
,eholders under this deed Of trust the
+ appointment Of receiver is neces-
,ylsary.
" The road is already in the hands
dlof receivers, j. H. Wilson and E.O,

The merchants are informing the
people Of some of the immediate
benefits resulting from the passage

distribution Of printed circulars they
are calling attention to the reduced

lfer their goods since the new tariff
went into effect. One effect ol
these advertisements is to recall tc
the minds of their readers the con.

Superintendent Orville l.. Bright,
Of Cook county, Illinois, offers the
following suggestions for a country
school house, in his report:
/. The girls wardrobe should be
separate from that Of the boys.
2. The teachers 5 desk should be
in the opposite end Of the room
from the entrance.
3. This end of the room should
have no windows.
4. The pupils desks should face
that Of the teacher, of course.
3. The blackboard should ex
tend across the end opposite the en-
trance and the entire sides between
tn. windows. 1t should be fou
feet wide and "a inches from thu
floor. The best blackboard is th'
cheapest. In the best moderI
teaching plenty of good blackboard
is absolutely essential, and it mus
be within the reach Of little children
8. A maple floor is cheapest il
the long run.
I. There should be no platform
in the school house.
8. A shield should protect tn
children from the direct heat of TIN
stove.

extra chair for the directors whc
they visit the school.
