The School Board was in session Tues
day last aud discussed school matters and
considered the appointment of trustees
The Board determined that it would be
able TO keep the schools open for the full
term. II was found that the attendance
dzring the Spring had been much better
than heretofore. The Board deserves great
credit for is management of school fnan-
ces, and the ability TO run the schools for
the full term Is. under the circumstances, u
crowning achievement. Expenses have
been increased BY a large number Of teach
ers obtaining FIRST grade certificates, and
receipts have been diminished by the de-
crease Of over thousand dollars of The
Sate Appropriation under the new .appor-
tioament necessitated by the late census,
and also by greatly resiSced revenues from
tongefs' licenses. We congratulate the
Board and Examiner upon The record they
have made.

The recent spell of weather seems to
have been the longest Of its character in the
memory of most of our citizens. Wheat
and the grasses have had period of revel-
~ with its duration, while farm work,
other than the stripping of tobacco, has
been generally retarded. With fair wealth
er now in which our farmers can pitch
their crops, and the improved condition Of
the markets for everything except tobacco
which we hope may also improve
should produce better spirit 10 effort, and
prove wholesome diet to their lethargic
energy.
Some spring chickens are being shipped
from this neighborhood, for which the
market rules for 80 cts. to As cts. per ID.

We have noted Azzana's ecstacy over his
mill-pond music and wondered ifhis poetic,
music-ridden soul would not unconsciously

tensions as to the possession of any ele-
mems OF this elite art, but found In the
earlier months when the briar and the

We notice 3 communication in your last
issue from a Wiley John, upon the revo
luton and elevation of diversion in St
Mary's, and inviting an expression from
some of the amateurs. In this connection,
nobody would rather see the tournament
and the dance so much INDUCED in, give
place to higher standard than your cor
respondent, but in preparing as fit rendi-
ton of the Lady of Lyon as we could, we
found that it was attended with great
deal Of cost--time and actual cash-and
unless such affairs are sailing under char.
liable purposes in this county, itseems that
the art loving audience would be rather too
meager to justify such undertakings. We
like to work for glory sometimes, but when
we get loaded down with more of it than
we can carry and unloaded of other goods,
it only makes us vain, and 1t takes us but
short while TO determine how much this
article is worth (vanityl. The organize
ton Of good literary society for the win
ter months is an excellent thing for any
community, if you can get active, jealous
members enough b make an effort in the
debates.
For the summer months we want TO or
ganize summer social club for holding
series Of dances at Chaptico Hall and would
like TO have applications for membership
from lovers of the dance and want their
friends included who can chip in for the

About the Remarkable Kites Made by the
Japanese and Chinese.

About the Remarkable Kites Made by the
Japanese and Chinese.
In the making of kites shape is no
consideration. A square, circle. man.
star, fish, dragon, horse or shield will
fly equally we'll, but they must be
equally proportioned. In Japan one
sees a whole menagerie at once in the
air-horses, cows, monkeys, bats, fishes,
crows and snakes, as well as dragons,
babies which cry. boys with their arms
and legs spread out, hunters and sol
diers.
Fighting kites are seen everywhere
in both China and Japan.
The armed kite is usually made about
two and half feet high and covered
with cambric or silk. The tail may be
made of strips of bright-colored cloth
about one inch wide, securely tied in
the middle to strong twine. The de-
structive part of this kite lies in
the tail, to which are attached sharp
pieces of broken glass called knives.
Fasten three of these knives together
with wax, SO that each shall point in a
different direction, bind on three slips
of thin wood lengthwise to hold the
wax and glass firmly, and cover with
cloth or kid.
A much simpler weapon is made by
dipping the ten feet of string next to
the kite in glue and then rolling it in
pounded glass until thickly coated with
a glistening armor of sharp points The
object with both is, of course, to cut
your opponents string. The skillful
manenvering which this requires is
very good practice in training one to
act quickly. 1t is considered dishonor-
able to cut an unarmed kite,

Proper Care in Handling to Prevent Ac-
'cidents.
A good sportsman is familiar with his
piece, and brave enough to be afraid of
it, says HSrper's Round Table. From
the time he takes itout of the case the
muzzle of the barrels is on his mind un-
til he has taken it to pieces, cleaned it,
and put it away in his case When
he starts out in the morning, he takes
out the barrels, and pointing them to-
wards the earth as he holds them in
his left hand, he springs the stock into
its place with his right Then having
fixed on the little piece of wood which
clinches the two parts together, he
passes his right arm around the barrels,
so that as he carries it the stock points
up and behind him at an angle of about
forty-five degrees, and the barrels
point down toward the earth at a sim
liar angle in front of him. Around his
waist or in his pockets he carries cart
ridges. No charge goes into his gun
until he has not only left the house,
but actually arrived on the grounds
where he expects to find game. If he
has to drive to the proper woods or the
shooting-stands or blinds, he places the
piece in the bottom of the wagon.

once allowing it to point towards him.
self or anyone else who may be stand
ing by. If he is near enough to the
woods or shore to walk he carries the
gun as described, unloaded, until he
reaches the proper place. When climb
ing over fences, whether with cart
ridges in place or not, he places the
gun under the fence fat on the ground,
climbs over or under, and then picks it
up from the other side. Resting a
shooting-piece against fence or wall
in an upright position shows the green
horn or the careless and therefore poor
