Today is the last day Of Normal
Heretofore for years the normal has
been held in the county seat, this
year the county superintendent saw
fit to hold it IN Kirwin. Some OBJ

Of the location selected, but we will
say with all oandor that in our be-
lief the county educational interests
have not suffered by having it held
at this place. We have an enroll
ment Of 1888 which is very large for
this county. The corps OF instruO-
tors were good and the students one
and all praise them for the work they
have done. The citizens OF Kirwln
have done everything in their power
TO make the normal a success and the
surrounding pleasant and agreeable
for those who attended. The course
OF lectures was very satisfactory and
met the hearty approval of Sll. Kir-
win has made many friends among
the young people OF our county dur

THE DOMAIN OF STYLE
GOWNS WORN BY SOME OF NEW
YORK'S WELL.KNOWN WOMEN.

New Fad Organized by metropolitan
Dames-Proper Cultivation of the Voice
An Imposing Brunette's Fetching
Frock-Opera Singers Neat Costume.
Especial New York letter.
New York women are never satisfied
unless organizing some new fad. Now
it is society to cultivate the proper
use of the voice in conversation. The
promoters claim that the voice betrays
the character of the person to far
greater extent than most of us realize.
Many people express but one condi-
tion-mental or physical-when speak
ing. Sometimes it is WEAKNESS, ner-
vousness, placidity, self-conhdence,
timidity, the spirit of martyrdom or
candor.
The idea appeals evidently to many,
as the club is already one OF the larg-
est in town. Many well-known society
women have entered their names Oh
the roll of membership.
At O'Clock tea the other day l
heard Mrs. II. S. Kissam discussing
this theme with Miss Bertha Marie
Parce. Mrs. Nissan is magnificent
looking woman, and, when saw her,
wore a gown of dove-gray canvas, made
with a stylish jacket of blazer pat
tern. Her coat was lined with below
cred pink silk which made a pretty
contrast. Miss Parce is lecturer on
the use of the voice. Her head is ex-
quisitely poised; and her graceful
figure was we'll outlined in tailor
made suit of blue check in two tones.
The skirt was perfectly plain, and set
off by the dapper three-button cut-a-
way, with a stylish seeded silk waist
coat peeping coquettishly out.

No Living MammOths.

For several years the story has been
extensively circulated that the natives
of Alaska are acquainted with living
mammoths. The probable origin of
the story was pointed out at recent
meeting of the Biological Society OF
Washington by Mr.. 6. H. Townsend.
In 1885 when he was in Alaska, some
of the natives questioned him concern.
ing the nature of the giant animal
whose bones are not infrequently
found there, and he drew restorations
of the mammoth in order to show them
how it looked when living. They were
greatly interested in the pictures, and
made copies of them. These copies,
he thinks, have been widely scattered
through Alaska. and, being found by
white men in the hands of the natives,
have given rise to the belief that the
prehistoric beasts still inhabit that
country.

A FETCHING FROCK.

An unusually fetching frock I saw at
the Opera-when the whole house rose
en-masse to bid au-revoir to Nine.
Calve at her last appearance at the
Metropolitan. 1t was worn by an i'm
posing brunette, with a coat that looked
as if the wearer were moulded into it.
The coat design was quite new-a tight
fitting Eton, with double revers to
show lace chemisette, and held in
place at the waist in front by a belt
attached. The material was a hand
some black cloth, with a hair line Of
white.
Speaking Of opera, it seems pity
that our New York managers do not
issue some such regulation as the one
recently put in force at the Imperial
Opera House, Vienna. There the rule
says that not more than three recalls
shall be allowed at the end of an act
except on first nights. At her fare
well, Calve, after bowing thanks nine
times, was compelled to cross and re-
cross in front of the curtain sixteen
times. The fatigue of this, after the
labor of singing the principal role in
Faust, must be intense. She may well
ask to be saved from her friends.

How a Great General Slept.

A good story is told of the Duke of
Wellington. The French, with fresh
force double that of the Duke, were
closing in upon his jaded troops one
stormy night in Spain. wellington
completed his preparations, and then
turning to a scout, asked: Glow long
will it be before they can reach u.s."
Half an hour" was the reply.
"Then 7 can go to sleep" he said;
and, wrapping his cloak about him. he
dropped where he stood in the muddy
trench, aud in an instant was asleep.
He awoke when the buSIes of the
euemy sounded in his ears.-Weekly

The Ouarrelsome Robin.

The robin, that "pious" bird, is
very quarrelsome, and it exasperates
one to watch him wasting the precious
hours of food in hunting another hum
CRY robin up and down, and round and
round, till the sparrows have cleared
the board. The blackbirds, too, are
very annoying in the way that they
snatch up lump of bread and fly off
with it, only to be chased about for the
rest of the morning by. other black
birds, while sparrow makes square
meal off the morsel fallen meanwhile
under shrub. But relentless as they
are in pursuit, the curious fact is that
they seldom fight. If the pursued
turns, the pursuer stops, perks up his
tail, and being promptly charged by
the other, becomes in his turn the pur.
sued. But woe to both when the mis-
sci thrush comes. He is pigiless in
pursuit, and have seen them pass my
window time after time in the course
of morning, the storm cock hard on
the "heels" of the blackbird. And
when they overtake them what hap
pens? For myself, as I have often
said before, I believe the missel thrush
is a cannibal. At any rate, attribute
some of the dead blackbirds and
thrushes that one finds about the
grounds to his cruel beak. He watches
for birds for hours at time, like oird
of prey, and attacks them like one. I
have often stopped a chase which I
knew could only end one way.-Con-
temporary Review.

Will From a Grave.

After lying in mans coffin TO,
more than thirty years, will has
been exhulned at Leavenworth, Kan.
the terms of which are likely to in.
crease troublesome litigation among
the heirs of the man who had the doc
ument buried with him.
Jacob Kissingen was the man. The
will was found by accident, because
when Kissingen died, although q will
was believed to have been made, no.
body could find it. So the heirs went
to law and have been at it for three
decades.
A few days ago dispute arose
which could be cleared up by the fam
lily Bible. The grave was opened and
the book taken out. 1t was in good
state Of preservation, and, when
opened, to the surprise of everybody,
disclosed will.
BY the terms of the document found
in the grave the property of Kissingen
is divided equally between five chill
dren, one of them residing in Ger
many, and born Of Kissingen's first
wife. This is where the new trouble
began. None of the four American
heirs ever heard of the fathers first
marriage.-San Francisco Chronicle.

FARMING IN THE SOUTH.
Importance of Diversified Crops-Capacit
of Southern Soil to Produce Cereals.

Importance of Diversified Crops-Capacity
of Southern Soil to Produce Cereals.
Our Southern farmers are gradually
waking up to the importance not only
of diversifying their yearly crops. but
also of reducing the acreage Of Gheir
farming lands. Governor McLa,lrin,
Of Mississippi, is authority for the
statement that the average farm in that
state has decreased from $40 acres in
1860 to 1913 in 1870, 156 in 1880 and
122 in 1890. On the strength of this
reduction Governor McLaurin venr
t1res to hope that new era of pros
perity is dawning upon this section.
With respect to diversified crops,
tae Chattanooga Tradesman, in recent
article on the subject, states thai the
time is rapidly coming when the
Southern farmer will not depend for
his income solely upon cotton and a
few other staples. Indeed, it is claimed
that no other section of the country
is better adapted by reason of its soil
and climatic conditions to the cultiva-
tion of variety of products than the
South.
This is evident from the following
data furnished by the United States
Department of Agriculture: In 1896
Virginia produced 3s,O67,O 900 bushels
OF corn; North Carolina, 20, S29, 600;
Georgia, 80, 5O4, 900; Alabama, 80, AS,
OoO; Mississippi, 27,973, 900; Texas,
81, ,22s, 900; Arkansas, 29, 1913, 900; Ten
nessee, II, 1893, 900; West Virginia, 21,-
69S, 900; Kentucky, s0,932,OOO. Dur
ing the same year Ohio produced only
123, ,691, 900 bushels; Michigan, 40,-
OIL, 900; Indiana, 1873, 468, 900, and the
famous corn-producing State Of Illinois
only 2S4, $1,000
The capacity of our Southern soil to
produce wheat is shown. by the follow
ing figures for 1896: Virginia, 5,724,-
GOO bushels; North Carolina, 4,621,-
GOO; Georgia, 1859, 900; Texas, 4,529,-
600; Arkansas, 100000; Tennessee,
S,62s,O0O West Virginia, 4,056, 900,
and Kentucky, 6,976,OOO During the
same year Ohio produced only 21, $780,
900 bushels; Michigan, Is, 719, 900; In
diana, 20, SAT, 900, and Illinois: 2S, $685.
900.
What is true of wheat and corn is
also true of other cereals. Our South
ern farmers will never fully realize the
possibilities of farming in the South
until they begin to diversity their crops
and to depend upon more than one
staple product. Constitution.

The Food Man Needs,

Gas in the daily wear and tear oi
life great deal of the substance of g
mans body is used up, it is absolutely
necessary that the repair to the body
be carefully and systematically looked
after" writes Mrs. 8. T. Rorer in the
Ladies' Home Journal. "Then, too,
man must create heat and force, &C.
cofding to the climate in which he
lives and the occupation he follows.
A wise com bination of food is there.
fore necessary to keep the body in
working order. In cold weather We
need larger amount of carbonaceous
foods-fats, sugars, and stsrches-
than we do in summer. In the hot
climates and during the hot monthe
fruit and green vegetables, containing
the salts necessary to keep the blood
in good condition, should be used
freely. According to our method OF
living in this country, We should take
about two parts of repair food, such
as meat, eggs, milk. cheese, or in the
vegetable kingdom, the old peas,
beans, and lentils, to three parts OF
carbonaceous food, such as white
bread, potatoes, rice, butter, cream,
and fats of all kinds. Then We must
have certain amount of bulky or
watery vegetables, such as lettuce,
spinach, cabbage, onions, and also the
fruits. In making out daily ration
we should have at the beginning OF
the meal some light dish that may be
taken slowly, to prepare the stomach
for the food that is to follow, then a
meat or its equivalent. With beef we
should serve potatoes; with mutton,
rice. With chickens, either rice OF
potatoes"

Fatal FOrgetfulness.

There is no known aatidote for the
bite of the tiger snake of Australia.
Persons bitten die almost Instantly,
and the Government has standing Of
fer of $4,000 for any one who will dis.
cover a remedy. Some few years ago
@ man named Underwood actually dis
covered an effcacious antidote. To
prove its value he allowed himself to
be bitten repeatedly by snakes in
full possession Of the power to kill.
He offered his discovery to the Gov
ernment for $4,000, but this amount
they thought eXorbitant. One day he
gave an exhibition before some Govern
ment officials, but being much under
the influence of liquor, he did not re-
collect what he had done with his an
tldote, and he died shortly after the
snakebite, his secret perishing with
him.
