Tricks on the Teachers.

The other day a pupil in one Of the
public schools asked the teacher to do
Z little example in grammar. and since
ther what seemed at first to be simple
problem has had the serious consider
ation Of all the pedagogues In the com
mmity, and it has been unanimously
agreed that there is no rule in gram
mar to cover the point raised. The
youngsters proposition was this:
'sIt Is two miles to Woodfords. Now
please write under that sentence There
are two twos in the above sentence y
That Is what the boy said. He did
not submit the problem in writing
and when the teacher tried to follow
his injunction she found out the reason
why. 1t dawned on her that there We're
not two twos, neither We're there two
tos, and how to express in writing
what was easy enough to do verbally
she ascertained to be impossible.
The boy responsible for the forego
ing must be a near relative to tn,
youth who asked his teacher how Il
spell Paris green. and when she replied
"P-a-r Par. Is, Paris, green, green
Paris green" retorted:
"No, you're wrong; you can't speI
Paris green, or blue, or any other color
You can't spell it anything but Paris. >

North Carolina Comes Next.

In long report of the opening ex-
ercises of the forty-fifth session of Roa-
noke College on the 18th instant, the
Salem Va rimes-Resister, of the 18th
says: The attendance on the first day
was very encouraging, indicating an
increase over the enrolment of last ses-
sion, and keeping up Roanoke's record
for increasing patronage for some years.
The new men are nearly oil entering
the regular courses for graduation and
the students as whole would impress
any one as a body of earnest, manly
fellows who are at college for purpose.
As usual many States are represented,
and also Korea and the Chicasaw No
tion of the Indian Territory. North
Carolina, with thirteen students, comes
pext to Virginia in numerical order.

THOUGHT He WAS A Haka.'
Dilemma Of the Man Who Held - 0gr0
Bathtub Together.

One Of the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coldess
sweat out of a mans brow, and ever
after remain with him as a constant
source of mirth, occurred to a Shelton
merchant a few days ago. He thought
he would take a bath, and as his fiat
is minus one of the chief requisites for
the job q bathtub-he eXtemporlZed
one out of n small washtub and en-
joyed cooling ablution.
He had just concluded and stepped
from the tub for the towel, when sud-
denly the top hoop Of the tub burst
with a sharp report, and the man saw
to his horror that the whole contents
of the tub would soon be flooding the
floor. At the same moment he thought
of the store beneath and the amount
Of damage the water would do as 1t ran
down through the ceiling. He is man
of quick thought, and in moment ne
did the only thing possible, threw him.
self down beside the tub and, clasping
his arms around 1t, held the already
fast swelling slaves together. He was
successful in keeping the water in-but
what a situation. He dared not yell
for he was hardly in a condition to
receive callers, especially as he knew
that all in the block at the time We're OF
the gentler sex, and he realized al
once that the only thing left for him
was to stay in that position until the
return Of his wife, who was out on q
shopping expedition.
Like the boy who saved Holland, nc
manfully remained in his most uncom
Portable position until relief In the
shape of his wife appeared. Then tc
cap the climax, when he asked her tc
get rope or any old thing to tie about
the tub. she, after long fit of uncon
trollable laughter, asked him why he
didn't carry the tub and contents ou,
to the sink room and pour out the
water. With a look that froZe the
smile on her face he did as she said
and without g. word donned his clothing
and wandered out into the cold, unfeel
ing world, 4 crushed and Inundated
