NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL.
President Harper's Pet Scheme Put
Into Execution.
Head of University of Chicago AbCEt
to ReVOlutiOniSe the Prevails
ing Methods in the
WORK.

President Harper of the University
of Chicago has some ideas of how a
model Sunday school should be run
and he will soon put them in operation.
The field selected for the advance
ment of the new scheme will be the
Hyde Park Baptist church and his own
university The time set for the open
ing day is June 1, and on that day pu-
pills will be received in school which
in every way must be regarded as mod
ern. All past traditions have been cast
aside, and the movement is regarded
by those cognizant of its provisions as
a distinct revolution in the Sunday
school world.
The new departure will replace the
international Sunday school lessons, as
well as other kinds of literature used in
the present day schools. President
Harper, in conjunction with Bishop j.
II. Vincent, of the Methodist church,
and Prof. E. d. Burton, of the Univers-
ity of Chicago, has already in prepare
ton a set of textbooks that will be
used in the two Sunday schools. They
are entirely different in every respect
from literature now in vogue in
churches, and can be compared more
favorably with those used in the public
schools.
There will be chiefs for the different
departments, and assistant chiefs and
directors and superintendent, whose
various duties are hid under titles of
pretentious proportions. President
Harper himself will be the superinten-
dent and Prof. Frank W. Shepardson
will be his assistant. Prof. e. ID. Bur
ton will be director of instruction, and
will look after the courses, the teachers
and the standard of excellence to be
maintained. Public exercises will be
taken care of by J. A. Russell, and the
religious life of the school will be at.
tended to by Rev. J. i. Jackson. The
missionary and benevolent organiza-
ton has been given in charge of DR.. T
W. Goodspeed, and the libraries will
be seen to by Mrs. leila A. Dixon, the
university librarian. The secretary will
be Miss Mary McAdams, and the treas
urer A. II. Parker.
The school will be divided into three
departments-the elementary, the Sec
ondary and the adult. The elementary
class will study stories and sayings in
the New Testament, the secondary the
Old Testament history and the adult
classes the Old Testament prophecies
C. H. Marsh will have charge of the
first department, D. r. Myra Reynolds
the second and James Peabody the
last. Other officials will be r. B. David
son, chorister; Glen NJ Hobbs, leadeI
of orchestra, and J. E. Raycroft, mar
shall.
At the end of every three months
regular convocations will be held, and
the pupils will be given diplomas il
proficient enough.

ROYAL. MATCHMAKING.
The Remarkable Success in That Line of Queen
Louise of Denmark.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
Denmark is small country, which
does not have a large part in the worlds
affairs; but it's court is an important
one. by reason of its marriage alliances
and the personal influence of the king
and queen. Whenever there Is a court
ball at Copenhagen one OF the hvellest
dancers is King Christian *. who is
still young at heart, although close to
his eightieth birthday.
His wife, Queen Louise, is his senior
by several mon. his, and has ceased TO
dance in the royal quadrilles. She has
been one of the most successful match
makers in Europe and still takes keen
interest in this royal sport.
For her oldest son, the crown prince,
the queen found a suitable partner near
ly thiiLy years ago in Princess Louisa,
daughter of the king of Sweden ana
Norway. Her oldest daughter became
the Princess of Wales, and her second
daughter the wife of Alexander I'LL, and
mother of the present cZar of Russia.
Her second son., after his election as
king of Greece, married a Russian
grand duchess. With one grandson ON
the Russian throne, and another, the
Duke of York, destined to reign in Eng
lard. and with two other grandsons
heirs to the crowns of Denmark ana
Greece, Queen Louise may be described
as the grandmother of four emperors
and kings.
Two other marriages this adroit match
maker has arranged. Her third son,
Prince Waldemar, married Princess Ma
RE d1Orleans, daughter of the Due dc
Chartres, and her third daughter be-
came the wife of the Duke of Cumber-
land, a. great grandson of George III. of
England, who might have been king of
England if Queen Victoria had died in
her girlhood.
These were marriages which brought
f,~+ fa,ttr 10 ict1
for the Orleans princess was am heiress
and the Duke of Cumberland was also
rich.
Queen Louise, having married off all
her children with marked success has
begun 10 arrange a new series OF ALL
ances for her grandchildren. Her theory
has been that the reigning house of a
feebly country Like Denmark can be com
verted into a center of influence in Eu-
rope by discreet, but ambitious, mar
rags She acted upon this principle
when she advised her grandson, the
crown prince of Greece, to marry a sis
ter of the German emperor.
The queen is no- only match maker.
but also woman Of great force of char
aeter and "a good mind. Her influence
has been felt in the family councils
throughout Europe. The 1ajte car and
the present emperor OF Russia have at
tacheh a great weight by her advice.
Copenhagen has been the caphal where
for two generations the Russian i'm
perial family have been frequent visit
ors and have thrown off the cares of
state.
Tn September, Queen Louise's eightieth
birthday was celebrated by a reunion OF
her DESCENDANTS ard relations in Copen-
hagon 1t was large family party from
many courts of Europe, and she recesv-
ed the congratulations of nearly all the
soyereigns of the continent.

Beginning of the Work.

Special to The Age-Herald. 7
Selma, oct. 21.-Today has marked an
epoch in selma's history. Under auspi-
cious circumstances and with the hope
full prayers of hundreds of citizens the
first dirt was broken on the new rail-
road, which is to connect on an airline
Selma and Atlanta, the Atlanta and Ala
bama railway.
The scene of the beginning was about
mile from the city, and a large com
course of citizens, with their wives, were
present; and as the first dirt was broken
cheers went up from hundr DIS of threats.
The fist work was a Slight fill of about
a foot high ON the road. Col. Mitchell,
the president of the road escorted Mr..
and Mrs. Watkins M. Vaughan to the
scene of the beginning. Mayor Meyer
made the announcement of the opening
of the road. and Col. Mitchell, taking
tiful 1O-months-old daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. S. G.. Gay, introduced her to the
audience as the mascot of the road.
The little tot, approaching the oeca-
sion when the first dirt was thrown,
caught a handful under the care of her
parents from the scrapers, and, like an
angel of good will, cast 1t over the work.
When the first scraper started Mrs.
Watkins M. Vaughan, one of Selma's
beautiful matrons, under the escort of

RAISED WITH THE HOG.
John Earl Garrison Speaks Authoritatiyely Upon
the Alabama Product.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
1t seems to me that no one is so we'll
prepared to write about this freak of
nature as the person who Is raised up
with it, who has seen 1t from it's earliest
and innocent infancy up to full grown
and honored old age. Hence indite tn S
erudite article to the hog who has bsen
nurtured on Alabama soil.
Without doubt it is the most ungodly
animal known. There surrounds it an
air of holy calm and unblemished
"smichlessness" like that around coun-
ty Jail. It's head is attached to neck
which keeps up Geographic communica-
tons with it's body throughout dis
lance of about nine feet. 1t is bravely
supported by from two times two to
even four legs, all of which are usually
long and wabbly. But little difficulty is
experienced by tbs people in reading an
agate bible through this hog, and if you
have an enemy whom you wish TO rid
yourself of eternally, 1t is only necessary
to cause him so stumble and fall on
the back of the hog.
The hog will not be hurt, but the fell
low will be cut finer than cucunlbers
OF course, such death is horrible to-
contemplate, but it can't be helped in
srch q ease.
Come persons who have timber to saw,
frequently back one OF the Alabama
swine up against a large log and the
incest of lumber is made, and just as
rapidly as if made by buzz saw.
1t is indeed very serviceable in numer-
GUS ways. When you want to feed the
drove. just let about three and a half
hogs into every thirty-three acres of
corn. Perhaps they will come home
rather increased in circumference, but
their appetite will not be diminished.
You might also use one of the stuffed
animals for a barn.
The poorer an Albanian is the more
hogs he has When the farmer begins
to, rise in the world his drove of hogs
begins to go down in corresponding
degree.
Frequently the ladies Use him for wall
flowers, but his chiefest virtue lies in his
untainted reputation for truth and dis
honesty.
