the same subjects and write some.
thing that will instruct me and
others along this line.
[ left off week before last at The
end of the second grade and as q
matter of course l must take ~
now at the beginning of the third
grade. AS the second reader is
finished at the end of the second
grade the third reader begins with
the third grade. In this grade con-
tinue the same course of spelling
and arithmetic as. before suggested.
I believe we should take geography
in this, but some one may say
a child is too young to study
geography in this third grade? I
think geography should be one Of
the early studies in school for two
reasons: First, because geography
is largely a picture of the word
and in childhood we love pictures
most; and secohd, because geog-
raphy is one of the hest studies
for the training of the memory
and all teachers will agree that
the memory is one of the first fac
ulties to begin to develop. The
only new books we need for the
third grade are: Maury's Elemen-
tary Geography, and Stickney's
Third Reader. | think the third
reader, intermediate arithmetic,
and elementary geography should
be finished in the third grade.
With fourth grade we should begin
fourth reader, and common school
arithmetic, having the pupils, to
analyze every example, ( [ should
be glad for any one to suggest
the best arithmetic for this grade)
1 also think it we'll to begin histo-
ry in this grade, for history and
geography are twin sisters and
should be studied together. |
would suggest that no regular
course of the study of geography
be taken up i'll this grade, but that
it be studied in connection with
history referring often to the wall
maps. Each pupil shoulG be re-
qulred to find out where all I'M
portant events Of their history les
son occurred and to give the direc-
ton and distance from them.
Take for instance the settlement OF
James Town. Let them tell where
James Town is, how far and in
what direction from us it is. Also
in this grade sheuld come Ial-
guage lessons which should teach
the pup the correct use of Ian

gest that the teacher have those
who study language to relate a
short selection IN their language
as often as practicable, I think all
should begin to read standad liter

the fourth grade are: Stickney S

In 1876 when D. II. Chamber
lain attempted to canvass the State
in fulfill effort to perpetuate ne
gro rule: he wasroughly treated in
Edgefeld, and in Abbeville he was
so impressed with the hostile de-
monstration that he quit the cam
paign and gave up the fight.
In 1895, J. J. Dargan goes to
Edgefeld for the purpose of APP
pealing to the negroes, and III the
interest of the movement that has
for its purpose the overthrow of
the white people in South Caro-
lima.
Dargan was treated at EdgeGeld
in 1895 in about the same way
that Chamberlain was treated in
1876.
We believe the whole State, ex-
cept the Republicans endorsed the
treatment which Chamberlain re-
ceived, and patriotic white men
everywhere rcjoiccd at Chamber
lain's surrender.
In 1885 we believe that the ma
iority of the white men have no
sympathy for Dargan, and have
no word of condemnation for the
good people of Edgeiield in de-
tending themselves.
But it is true that some white
men-at this time seem to be
greatly shocked that Dargan was
not allowed to make his intlamma-
tory harangue.
The Press and Banner has no
sympathy for either Dargan or
the dirty work in which he is en-
gagged.

A Campfire Of Fossil Wood.

Our fire was made Of fossil wood gath
cred on the beach. This wood is found
scattered or in wave washed windows
all about the bay where the shores are
low enough for it to rest. 1t also occurs
in abundance i'll many Of the ravines and
gorges, and in roughly stratified beds Of
moraine material, some Of which are
more than / 900 feet in thickness. The
bed rocks on which these deposits rest
are scored and polished by glacial action,
like all the rocks hereabouts up to at
least 5000 feet above the sea. The tim
Der is mostly in tho form Of broken
trunks Of the Merten, Patton and Men
zies spruce, the largest sections being 20
to 80 feet long, and from to 3 feet III
diameter, some Of them with the bark
on, sound and tough.
1t appears therefore that these shores
were, century or so ago, as generously
forested as those of the adjacent bays
and inlets are today; though, strange to
say, not one tree is left standing, with
the exception Of few on mountain tops
near the mouth Of the bay and on the
east side of the Muir glacier How this
deforestment was effected | have not
space to tell here. will only say that
all have seen goes to show that the
moraine soil Oh which the forests were
growing was held in place on the steep
mountain slopes by the grand trunk
glacier that recently filled the entire
bay as its channel, and that when it
melted tho soil and forests were sloughed
off together. 1.-THE Discovery Of Gla-

4 Playground Made = Lake.

One Of the features Of the Berlin In
dustrial exposition Of next year will be
the beauty of the grounds. One Of the
most interesting changes now taking
place is the transformation OF the great
Fairgrounds in Treptow park into a
lake. About $4,000 cubic meters OF
earth will have to be removed, and
workmen are now engaged in building
the embankment A promenade, shaded
by four rows Of plantain trees, already
encircles the proposed lake. Powerful
engines will supply the water, which
will fall in great cascades into the lake,
and then flow into the river Spree. Con
dolas will ply in the basin and the
neighbOring waterways. Artistic restau-
rants and music halls will border the
boulevard, the whole making scene
which, it is expected, will rival in
beauty anything ever offered for public
enjoyment at any Worlds fair.
One curious feature Of this improve
ment is found in the fact that Treptow
park must be restored to its original
condition when the exposition is over

On Fifth Avenue. New York.

Fifth avenue is the fashionable thor
oughfare. 1t is a mixture Of the Edge
ware Road, New street, Birmingham
and the Champs Elysees The pavement
is primitive and abominable, with. along
the edge, the lingering stumps Of trees
that have recently been cut down. When
it rains, the water collects on the side
walks in pools that rise over your ankles.
The stone blocks in the road are of the old
rafting Oxford street oblong pattern.
1t is the boast Of Fifth avenue TO be free
Of tram, cable car and elevated railway.
It is the only one Of the - or - avenues
that is so free. The fashionables keep
them out, as the gas was kept out Of
Grosvenor square.
The only public conveyance that runs
in the avenue, from Washington square
TO Central park, about two miles, is a
broken down stage, drawn by four spav-
ined, tired, hairy old horses. You see it
crawling along, full Of well dressed peo-
pie, among the cabs and coupeS and
smart carriages, and it looks like nothing
so much as Buffalo Bills Deadwood
coach, from the Earl's Court exhibition.
In it, only last week, and about a mile
from where l write, a lady was "held
up" by a man with a pistol at II 30 in
the morning. He took her purse, and so
far as l know has never been heard Of
since. Bill Nye rubs shoulders in New

A Roller Drilling Machine.

A most ingenious device has been de-
scribed before one of the societies of
mechanical engineers, England-viz, a
machine for boiler drilling with speed
and precision. In this mechanism the
multiple drilling heads for the circular
seam are described as being mounted
upon a cross slide carried by two up
rights, as in a planning machine, this
cross slide being raised or lowered by
hand or power to suit the varying
heights Of rings The drills on the cross
slide are five in number, and can be set
to varying pitches and angles, and six
drills for the butt seams are arranged
upon a vertical column on the opposite
side Of the circular driving table. This
table is an annular ring with large
hole in the center, and is carried on
friction rollers only. In the central hole
stands a strong upright, sliding ON an
independent bed below the table, SO that
it can be advanced or withrawn by a
screw actuated from the outside OF the
boiler shell, and be brought up against
the inside of the she'll opposite to the
drilling spindles, thus forming rigid
support for the work, being available
for supporting the shell when drilling
the butt seams by being set III the oppo-
site direction. The arrangement is such
that all the drills can be quickly set to
varying pitches and at the same time
made to point directly to the center Of
the boiler, without disturbing the action
Of the machine The drills can also DO
advanced or Withdrawn by the workman
standing in one position and actuating
a single lever only Independent adjust
ment of each drill is provided. New

Old Samoan Ways.

The Samoans are physically a splen-
didly made race Of deep bronze color
Their hair is naturally black, but is
converted by frequent dressings Of lime,
which have a bleaching effect, TO dull
r,e.dish tint This custom obtains both
with the men and the women. Their
arms and chests are specially well deyel-
oped from their habit Of padding long
distances in their canoes from island to
island-in fact, at 50 great distances
from the mainland were these natives
seen by early travellers, that this group
was christened the Navigator islands.
At this time, too, travellers reported that
the Samoans wore fine black skeins
reaching from the waist to a short dis
lance above the knee This report,
though without foundation in fact, was
due to the custom possessed by these
people Of tattooing themselves after that
fashion, covering about the same part
Of the body as would pair of our bath
ing drawers.
All the men are thus tattOOed on ar
irving at maturity, and are not allowed
to take unto themselves wives before
the painful process is complete. Regular
professional tattooers are found among
the people, and the tattOoing often oc-
cupies some months, as the patient only
undergoes as much as he can bear at
each operation. The designs tattooed
are very ancient, and the present gener-
ations are entirely ignorant Of their sig
MITIGATION. This latter fact applies also
to the words Of their rowing songs,
which they sing in perfect harmony and
in time to their oars or paddles; the
words sung are now obsolete, and, like
the tattooed designs, are not understoC
by the people -Westminster Review.
