No trouble is more conmon or more

People having 1t think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat of the
mischief is lost sight Of; the stomach is
the organ to be looked ALTER.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any Of the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
Shows ITSELF not in the stomach 80 much
as in nearly ever other organ; in some
cases the heart palpiuates and is irregu-
lar; in Others the kindneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still oilers are troubled
with loss OF flesh and appetite, with &C.

STATE BANKS.

According to the Tribune State Exam
liner Henderson has made several COM
parisons to show what il being done
by the banking institutions of Wyoming
and their greatly increased resources.
The tables show that deposits have in
creased $239, 900 in state and private
banks during the past year, while loans
and discounts have decreased but $12,-
600, showing that new money has come
INFO the state, amounting in all to $227,-
900.
The Of the private banks Of
the state were greater at the date OF the
last statement than at any previous time
in the past five years. This indicates
that the banks have a surplus OF money
to loan and the number OF applicants for
loans is considerably less.

"a PARROT.
The Bird Won by Bishop Lehman Lacks
Dignity and Refinement.

That 1he spirit OF Interpretation and
lack CT refinement 50 noticeable in the
human race is also characteristic OF the
innocent appearing parrot, was Illus
trased a few days ago. Bishop Lehman,
who was fortunate in drawing a num-
Der Oh articles upon which he had
chances at the fair, put his name down
opposite a number which was in due
time called out by Master of Ceremon-
les Martin as the number which won the
parrot, which some donor had given to
the ladies' in charge OF the fair. The
parrot was taken to the bishops home
and Cor a short time behaved himself
in a n becoming a gentleman and
an acquisition to the sacred household.
But parrots will be indiscreet and
when the reverend master Of the dwell
ling brought a cracker to polly on the
second day Of his residence. the bird
was asked in the bishops genial man
ner if he wouldn't have a cracker. The
exact language OF the ungrateful reply
Is hardly in keeping with good litera-
ture OF the times and will be OMITTED.
The language was vu.garly forcfble,
however. and the sentence uttered ex-
hibited knowledge of a far away place
where parrots are few and where solici-
tous Christians with crackers to Offer
are an unknown quantity. Polly no

WORK OF THE NORMAL CLASS.
supt. Ashmore's Talk to the Teach
ers on Writing.

The first general meeting of the normal
class in the public schools was held yes
terday afternoon at the High School build
ing. The teachers were accustomed last
year 10 assemble for these general meet
ings, so they were not strangers to the
manner in which they are conducted.
The normal class meets every Friday af-
ternoon at O'Clock. The roll is called by
the superintendent, who presides at the
meetings, after which he usually makes a
few announcements regarding school mat
tiers. The teachers.then separate into their
several sections, each section going to its
own ROOM over these sections are placed
the teachers, usually the principals, who
may be regarded as the best in formed in
the particular department of school work
that may be under discussion. The topics
are changed every two or three weeks, and
different teachers are put in conduct OF the
sections.
on every fourth Friday the classes meet
together 1t is then usual for the teach
ers to be addressed upon some subject of
general interest 20 all Upon the conclu-
sion of the address, a general discussion
ensues.
At the meeting yesterday the address
was delivered by Supt. Ashmore. 1t was
on Writing" and the teachers gained
many valuable ideas from it, Mr.. Ash
more called attention to the fact that,
while there is good writing in many of the
grades, it is not taught in the most sat
isfactory manner. He said that, as right
knowing is necessary prerequisite for
right doing" it is important that the
teachers themselves understand the right
methods of penmanship. They were told
that teaching penmanship requires eternal
vigilance on the part of the teacher and
that pains should be taken to secure
proper position in the lower grades. De-
tailed instruction was given regarding the
position at the desk, how the book should
be placed and how the pen should be held.
The teachers We're directed to carry out
these instructions in their daily work.
Supt Ashmore advised that the letters
be taught in their relating groups, begin
ming with the simplest form, as a." ~,
and wv" The teachers were instruct
ed to use the blackboard in explaining
the principles to the children, and were
shown how to criticize the Incorrect form
of letters. Uniformity of hight, slant and
space was Illustrated upon the blackboard,
as We're also the principles Of shading.
Suggestions were offered with regard to
the details of the writing exercises, such
as looking to the care of the pens, the copy
books and the daily inspection of the work.
The teachers were especially urged to
make themselves acquainted with all the
details of DenmanShip.

TO USE THE TELFAIR ACADEMY.
The Art school viii Have It's Classes
There.

The board of managers of the Telfair
Academy met yesterday afternoon, and
formally passed a resolution permitting
the ladies' Of the art league to use the
rooms of the academy for their studies.
1t was understood that the board would
take this action. At a former meeting the
matter came up but there was then no
quorum present, so it could not be passed
upon. 1t was ascertained, however, that
the members were unanimously in favor
of the ladies being granted the use Of the
studios. That they would do so had been
announced, and it needed only the action
of the meeting in formally rendering the
rooms to have it take the proper course.
A number of the ladies of the league
were at the academy during the morning.
Nearly every one left some specimen of
her artistic ability. The art work was
arranged in order so that it might be
ready to-day for the inspection of the art
teacher, Mr.. George Bladder Fox, who ar
rived yesterday on the Grand Duchess.
From the specimens of the work Mr.. Fox
will judge of the requirements and tai
ents of those, who are to be his pupils. He
will be able from them to tell what his
divisions into classes is likely to be. The
ladies display great interest in the work,
and seem pleased that an opportunity is
to be afforded them to add to their artistic
attachments.
Mrs. William Garard and Mrs. Edward
Karow, of the committee on the reorgan-
ization of the league, were at the academy
receiving the names of those, who are to
become members of the classes. The
ladies of the committee were very greatly
pleased to note the number of names re-
ceived. They think their efforts for the
organization are to be crowned with sue
cess.

THE WORK ON DALE AVENUE.
The Last Important Piece of Road
Work to BE Undertaken This Year.

The Last Important Piece of Road
Work to BE Undertaken This Year.
The work of constructing Dale avenue
from the terminus of Estill avenue to
Thunderbolt is being pushed by the county
convict force under direction of Superin-
tendent Chaplin. The work is now con-
fined to grading, no gravel having as yet
been put down. The railroad track has
been put in order to Thunderbolt and cars
can now be run over it.
Chairman Dale of the board of county
commissioners, said Yesterday, that Dale
avenue will be the last piece of road build
ing undertaken by the county this year
with the possible exception of dirt road
from Pooler TO Montieth. The residents of
that section have petitioned the commits
sioners for a road between the two places,
and the commissioners have Instructed En-
gineer Brown to make a survey of the
route and report to the board.
In the road work next year, Chairman
Dale said, will very probably be included
the extension of the Louisville road pave
ment of Augusta gravel to Pooler. The
Augusta road will probably be extended
also to Cherokee Hill.
With the completion of Dale avenue the
county will have in the neighborhood of
25 miles of improved roadway, more than
half of which will have been constructed
this year.

ter the dismissal of the normal class.

of the several schools, with the excep-
ton of the Barnard street school The

The library has now about 700 volumes.
This number has been secured since last
spring when the library was begun 1t
was started by the superintendent with
the voluntary and cheerful assistance of
the teachers. The teachers give the in>
stitution support, contributing small
sum each month. With this money the
books are purchased. These are all upon
subjects relating to the science and art
of teaching Nearly all such works of
value have already been secured, but il
is not proposed to have the collection stop
with this. 1t is desired TO have the library
stocked with many of the best books of all
kinds.
1t has been found that the teachers are
dnigent in their reading. and nearly all
of the books have been taken out 1t is
believed that much good will result from
the establishment of the library.
