DO you think such condition is gene

Il am sure it is worse. The average
size for school districts in the State is
91a square miles, smaller than in Wake
couaty, the average length of school
term is three months and three days.
II must give you just these figures;
they care worth thinking over: From the
last report published from Mr.. Scarbor-
ough; for the year ending June 1894,
there were g. 123 white districts in the
State If the districts averaged the
size OF ours, rs square miles, 3,036 dis
tricts would he enough. There was paid
to white teachers that year, $41S,79S.
This 6sidvided among 3,036 districts
would give each $13S, and would run
each school AZ months, paying a teach
err $50 a month. And you know the
average salary of teachers in North
Carolina is only about 500 a month.
Nobody knows how much . school
money is being wasted in North Carolina
Because it seems to be nobody's bust

Primitive Surgery.

1t is difficult at this day to realize the
horrors of a surgical operation before
the discovery Of anasthesia. The sur
geon's knife was necessarily pitiless,
and the victim could only writhe and
scream under the torture. The horror Of
an operation, even to a hero, may be
better understood by a story of Nelson,
included in a paper by DIR. John Ash
hurst on "Surgery Before the Days Of
An9sthetics. published in tho Phila-
delphia Record:
No Drawer or more gallant gentleman
ever lived than Admiral Viscount Mel
son, and after his right elbow had been
shattered by a French bullet in the as.
sault at Tenerife he manifested the ut
most courage, refusing to be taken to
the nearest ship Lest the sight Of his in
jury should alarm the wife of a fellow
officer whose own fate was uncertain.
When his own ship was reached, he
climbed up its side without assistance.
saying:
"Tell the surgeon to make haste and
get hts Instruments know must lose
my right arm, 50 the sooner it is off the
better"
He underwent the amputation, 30
says a private letter Of one Of his mid
shipmen, with tho same firmness and
courage that have always marked his
character.
And yet so painfully was Nelson
affected by the GOODNESS Of the operators
knife that when next going into action
at the famous battle of the Nile he gave
standing orders to his surgeons that hot
water should always be kept in readi-
ness during m engagement, 80 that II
another operation should be required he

A Study of Berlin.

Berlin Is almost as discouraging In
its other landmarks of its notable Ger
mans as in its public statues 1t is al
most as bad as New York, where few
houses now stand that were in existence
when Franklin and Washington were
alive. London is rich In buildings as
ISOLATED with great men, and an Ameri-
can can hardly walk from Westminster
to st. Paul's without recalling a dozen
names Of men whose lives are dear to
him. Berlin has, however, been almost
built anew since 1870. can remember
whole streets that were different when
l was a boy. There are, to be sure, q
few instances of memorial plates being
affixed to houses where notable Ger
mans have lived, but even in these cases
the houses themselves are an uninterest-
ing portion of an uninteresting street.
The Prussian kings adored uniformity
III street architecture, as well as in the
dressing of soldiers, and that may be
the reason why today the most beautiful
streets of Berlin furnish less interest to
q stranger than the grimiest alleys Of
London, with their charming diversity
of dirty fronts
The houses here are all equally high,
equally broad, equally gaudy on the
outside and equally devoid Of individu-
ality within. The Anglo-Saxon owns
his house and makes it comfortable for
himself and his family. The Prussian
lives in an apartment house, along with
perhaps dozen more families, all Of
them subject to the petty tyranny of q
porter whose duties are dangerously
near to those Of a police agent. Thus
the individual taste Of Berlin artist,
writer, actor or other notable resident
finds no expression through his architec-
tural surroundings A Helmholtz, q
Mommsen, Mcneil or Virchow is
in Berlin as little identified with his
house as soldier with his barracks.
This form of living has its conveniences,
particularly to a bachelor, but is not
conducive to interest in those who seek
the literary landmarks Of great capitals.

CARRIED IT TOO FAR.
Whiteside Paper on the Attitude of Fultoi
Toward the Wo0dmon.


whitesids Paper On tho Attitude Of Fulton
Toward the Woodmen.
The Prophetstown Spike, a repre-
sentative Whiteside county paper.
hes the following to say about the
Woodmen fight at Fulton week be-
fore last.
1.-THE Woodmen fasco had q most
disgraceful end Thursday afternoon.
The Fultonites have at last been out
generated and the books and records
are now in Rock Island. This fool
ish fight has lasted over five years.
and what has Fulton and her citi-
zens gained by it? County pride
has had much to do with the sympa-
thy and assistance extended Fulton
by the people Of Whiteside county
during the past few months. but
even this sentiment was fading
away. The people had become tired
Of this muss, and it is safe to say
that while a majority of the people
Of the COZ uty would have preferred
come time ago to have had the
Woodmep Offices remain In Fulton,
this feeling had subsidized in a sur
prising manner during the last few
weeks. And look at the disgraceful
ending Of the whole matter.
Beaten by Rock Island on the
injunction matter, instead of
allowing the books and records
to be taken away quietly. Fulton es-
tablishes her mob record even NOR g
firmly by allowing gang of toughs
to throw rotten fruit at the head
consul Of the order and his assistants,
who were engaged in moving the
books and records. And then under
cover OF the darkness they sur.
rounded the depot where Mr.. North.
colt and others were awaiting the
train to be taken from the town, and
forcibly prevented them from board
ing the cars. In fact, made such
nuisances of themselves that the
sheriff and Mr.. Northcott, both Of
whom were penned up in the depot,
had to call on the governor of the
state for troops to quell the disturb
ance and allow the head consul to
leave town. Had it not been for o
few Of her leading lights Fulton
would have been saved this disgrace,
an enormous expense to her over.
Jealous citizens. and lastly, not be
the laughing stock of Illinois and the
order of NJ. W. A., as is now the case.
1t is said Fulton will contest the case
to the bitter end. 1t is liable to be a
waste Of time and money on Fulton'l
part"
