the most ardent members of his

prosperity so long as the country
is at the mercy of the money
lenders. The social system is
out of joint. We need law
against great fortunes. Men
form combinations and put their
hands into the pockets of the

CAssANDRA WEST,
(Editor.)
Carl Tennell was absent two
weeks from sickness.
Friday, April 9th, the Literoti
and Lyce,tm Societies will unite
in their exercises.
The GA" Physiology class have
a very creditable display of draw
ings of the various organs of the
body on the wall of the school
room.
On account of sickness, Miss
Thomas of the Primary depart
ment was unable to teach one
afternoon. Her place was filed
by Miss Cassie West.
A very interesting program
was rendered Friday afternoon,
March 5th, by the Lyceotm Society.
Visitors present were Mesdames
Dorgan and Tewalt; Messrs.
Hosford, Lane. Bowman, Pierce
and Allison.
The exercises in the Primary
department Friday afternoon,
Feb. 26th, were very entertain
ing. There were a number of
visitors present.
The "a" Grade consisting Of
Miss Amanda johnson and Miss
Cassie West passed their final
examination in geography. Both
passed a very high grade.
The &C" Grade arithmetic are
mastering fractions very nicely.
For their first lesson potatoes
and apples were used as illustra-
tions which ended in a feast, with
nothing left to tell the tale but
potato peelings.
On Friday, Feb. 10Th, an ex-
cellent program was rendered by
the Literati Society. The room
was tastefully decorated in honor
of the birthday of George Wash
ington. We were favored also
with selections and remarks from
a number of our visitors. There
were thirty three visitors.
Friday afternoon, March 10Th,
was the time set for the rhetori-
calls preliminary to the contest
for the Demorest Medal. There
were sixteen contestants. but
owing to illness, two-Myrtle
Morrison and Willie Leaton-
were unable 10 be present. Of
the number contesting ten were
to be selected for the final con-
test, which is to take place within
the next few weeks. A large
number of visitors were in at
tendance. The order in which
the different ones participating
were to appear had been pre-
viously decided by lot. Mrs. o.
Mead, NJ. M. Sweet and H. F.
Powell were the judges who
were to select the ten to take
part in the next. contest. A
detailed account cannot be given
here, but from the expressions
of the visitors, after the program
was completed, the recitations
were rendered in a very good
manner. The judges decided
that the whole number should
be allowed to take part in the
final contest. Notice of which
will be given later.

A gentleman who lives on tn
Bayhorse side reports the Hig
Grade as rather dangerous. I
might be well for a man who is
not prepared ito shuttle off," to
say his prayers before attempt
ing it. To be hurled down the
PERCEPTIONS bluff into the icy
waters of the Salmon, and then
be suddenly transferred into
Pluto's Internal regions would be
a shock that would jar the strong
est constitution.
-(o)-
1t was our good fortune to
listen to the speaking at the
church on Sunday evening, Mar.
21st. The speakers without ex-
ception acquitted themselves in
an admirable manner. The al
lusion to the prisoner in jail
seemed hardly fair. There are
plenty of examples that can be
held up as warnings, without
parading the faults of man who
has not been pronounced guilty
by a jury of his peers. The legal
presumption is thathe is innocent
until proven guilty. If he has
confessed his guilt to the Rev.
gentleman, was it not a breach
of confidence to expose it to the
public? Let justice be done
though the heavens should fall.
-(o)-
1t is hard to account for the
interest taken in ring contests in
this civilized and Christian land.
Possibly there too many spindle
shanked dudes and lazy popinjays
who never struck a rigorous blow
not even at a mosquito. The
combat between gloved gladia-
tors and foot ball teams may
pave the way for a more vigor-
Gus type of physical manhood.
Then let the preacher and the
teacher do their duty and Ecce

SPARROW WHIPS sArSEam
Regular War Dance INDUCES In By ehe
BelIicose Midget.

The sparrow, inwhatever part OF the
world he is found, seems to earn a rep
utation for degree of persistency and
pugnacity altogether disproportioned
to his size. Even the climate of India
does not enervate the valorous little
creatures and they make their way,
or take it, with the same resolute i'm
pudence that they exhibit in colder re-
gions. In the Journal of the Bombay
National History society Lieut.. Barnes
gives some interesting particulars
about the house sparrows of western
India. At Deesa he found that pair
had built their nest between a pair of
antlers on the veranda, and another
pair appropriated a soap box in the
bathroom, where, although their nest
was destroyed several times, they per-
sisted in building until, out of compass
sion for their repeated labors, they were
left alone. A third pair built in an
empty cage hanging against wall and
there reared their little ones, although
the cage was frequently taken down
to exhibit the family to visitors. Once
their eggs were stolen and their in
dignant clamor was so disturbing that
the residents of the house, for their
own sakes, were obliged to hunt up
and restore the missing treasures.
Lieut.. Barnes also states that these
sparrows will attack their own image
in looking glass and will fight with
it all day, only leaving off when dark
ness sets in, to begin the battle over
again next morning, so that it was
often found necessary to protect the
mirrors with coverings. They are, per-
haps, not more brave than the fiery
little British American residents of
this country, one of which not long
ago disputed with bantam cock the
possession of a particularly delectable
tid-bit. The bravado of the sparrow
so astonished the bantam that he re-
treated in dismay, casting glances of
alright over his shoulder, so to speak,
at the small warrior, who, having dis
posed of the delicacy, was indulging in
a fantastic war Acknowledgment

RUSSIA WANTS PEACE.
Asks the Powers to Aid Her in Ending
The Cretan Trouble.

New York, Feb. ia dispatch to
the Herald from st. Petersburg says:
Official assurances have been given
in reply to anxious inquiries, that
nothing offensive is signifed by naval
preparations in the Black Sea.
The Russian government has issued
a note to the other powers with the
object of inducing them to bring coer-
Give measures to bear upon the Gre
tans, it being their duty thus to act,
as they have taken the power out of
Turkeys hands.
This is more to show the Cretans
that in future they must realize they
have to reckon with the powers and
that they cannot play tricks upon them
as they have been in the habit of doing
with Turkey and they will not be in
future permitted to threaten the peace
of Europe periodically as has been her
custom in the past.
Russia takes the lead in checking
them and asks the other powers to
