a story is told of a lady school
teacher who, having an inordinate
dread for contagious diseases, sent a
little girl home because she said her
mother was sick and had symptoms
most alarming. The next day the
child presented herself at the school
with her finger in her mouth and little
bonnet swinging by the string and
said: Yves got baby at our house,
but mamma told me to tell you it isn't
catching. The teacher blushed
slightly and said she was glad, and
told her pupil to take her seat.

when some women get together, F"
says an esteemed contemporary, zone
of the main subjects of conversation is
wondering if some other woman knows
the way her husband is acting. The
gossiper, of which every village has
its full quota, and, sad to say, many Of
them church members, has made many
"A home hell on earth. Gossip has
blackened and sullied the character of
many poor girls. Gossip has parted
husbands and wives who would have
been happy if it was not for gossip
One little misstep, one little indiscre-
tion will cause gossip To arise with new
strength and start on her mission.
Did we say her? We ought not, for
we have male gossips, and as a rule
they are ten times more venemous
than the female. a good hearty male
gossiper is as low and dangerous as
the meanest thing on earth"

James Taylor OF Greenville is inclin-
ed TO get of his mental balance. A
few years ago family troubles uabsl-
anced him. He was cured and returned
home, only TO have his wheels started
again few years later by relig-
ious enthusiasm. Again was he dis
charged from the asylum as a graduate,
and now he is daft once more. This
time free silver dcthroned his reason,
and little hope is entertained that he
will survive the strain.

The first meeting Of the state Board OF

l.. Hurt. ". W. Brand, J. X. McCann'
O. T.. IIne, and j. II. Kcmper. There be-
ing no head TO the body, Judge Henley
OF the Second District, presided The mat
ter Of clecting a president was brlehy
considered. and postponed until to-day.
one OF the first topics taken up was
that Of road Improvement In Virginia.
The expediency Of appointing com
mittee on good roads was discussed at
some length. Mr.. Hurt. speaking upon
the question, took the ground That the
board should not 80 into this experiment
as yet. since il was a subject for the
LEGISLATURE TO deal with. He said that
ne believed some good along the right line
might be achieved by the appointment OF
q committee to cooperate with the Good
Roads Association of Virginia 10 urge
the proper legislation, and thus secure
suitable laws looking TO the Improvement
Of the highways Of the State. Mir. Hurt
said that there was no provision in the
statute creating the state Board Of Agri-
culture which justified the appointment
Of a Cood-roals committee. MI H.ne
was Of the opinion that 1t was within the
province OF the board 10 DO whatever
IL thought best i'm the interests OF agricul-
tuie lie favored the appointment OF q
committee on general welfare and agri-
culture. 20 be subdivided into small com
mites 20 look after the various subjects
Of importance 10 the farming clements.
The discussion was purely informal,
and no decided action was taken, but II
WAS the sense Of the committee that the
rules Of the Senate Of Virginia should
govern the deliberations OF the board, and
that the following standing committees be
appointed:
!. Fertilizer Control
9. Horticulture and Fruit-GrOwinG.
3. Live Stock and Dairying.
4. Irrigation and Enclosures.
3. Mining and Manufacture.
6. Publication.
:. General Welfare Of Agricultural In
terest9.
s. Finance.
1t was the opinion Of the board that
a committee on general welfare Of agri-
cultural interests would be competeutiy
sufficient TO look after the roads OF the
STAT. and TO cooperate with the Good
Roads Association.
After these matters was disposed Of
the board adjourned until $3.50 o'clock
this morning, when president viii be
elected.
