The town Of Winona, Mo, was
visited by a water spout on the
morning of the 5th, and when
the citizens could venture out to
estimate the amount OF damage
it was learned that over a dozen
persons had been drowned. The
lowlands were placed at the
mercy of the flood, and over
thirty houses were demolished
by the rushing waters. The
crops in the vicinity which
have been harvested will be a
total loss and the damage to the
farmers will be beyond estina-
ton. The wires are down and
it is feared that the loss of life
will be at least two score, but un-
til further particulars are learned
it is impossible to estimate the
! loss of life or amount of dam

A Shower of Fried Fish.

The following story comes
from kushequa, Pa. : During
the forest fires several weeks ago
a remarkable shower of fish oc-
Cured in the Kinzua Valley
One day when the fires were
raging the fiercest, and the men
were worn out and almost dead
from the hunger, a dark cloud
overcast the sky and a heavy
rain began falling. With the
shower came hundreds Of fish,
ranging from 3 to-II inches i'll
length. The fish were perfectly
formed and were not blind. In
manv instances, where they fell
upon the burning embers which
had been swept by fire. they were
cooked. In tl1is condition they
were found by the fire~hghters,
who, after tasting them, ate with
great relish.
The residents Of the Kinzua
Valley are greatly puzzled over
the affair. The story is vouched
for by good people, who think
the fish were drawn from the
Kinzua creek by the intense heat
of the forest fires on both sides
and blown up the valley by the
wind and rain storm. Showers
Of fish are not unusual, but this
is the first time i'll history when
the fish were found cooked ready
to be eaten.

NORTH CAROLINA'S RECORD
WITH WOMEN TEACHERS.
News and ObScrverl

In 1886 female teachers of
public schools in North Caro1i-
ma received higher salaries than
in any other State in the Union.
Commenting on this condition,
Superintendent Wiley said:
"And On this most significant
and gratifying fact we may have
a reasonable hope that here fe-
male poverty will not be crowds
ed into factories, and into the
dens and purlieus of crime, as it
is i'll the States boasting of high
er civilization"
Our average. monthly salary
then for female teachers was
1892. In New Hampshire it
was s7.S3. Since Mr.. Wiley
wrote, North Carolina women
have gone into nearly every pro-
fession known to men, into fac
tories by the thousand, but have
not been forced Unto the dens
and purlieus of crime" and to-
day, as then, the best and most
useful calling known to women
and that in which they are best
fitted by nature and training, is
the instruction of the children.
