In Love With His Pupil.

Riding down the right bank of the
Cumberland River one afternoon of a
bright November day, I noticed log
schoolhouse about a hundred yards
from the road. 1t appeared to be re
cess time for a lot of children
were playing around the open and on
a fence at one side of the building sat
what l fancied was the schoolmaster.
Having had a brief experience teaching
the young idea how to shoot 7 thought
it would be rather pleasant to talk for
a passing moment with this teacher,
and SO l turned my horse in his di-
rection and rode up to him. I saw, as
approached, that while he was of the
mountains he was of the better class,
and when I greeted him he met me
pleasantly and asked me to alight How
ever, | sat on my horse, as he sat on
the fence, and chatted with him on the
outlook Of education, and the public
school system in the mountains, and
his verdancy, candor and uneducated
simplicity were delightfully."- refreshing.
Il presume you have not had expert
ence elsewhere as a teacher, have your
1 inquired, with anidea of getting some
personal data.
'Oh, no." he replied. This is my
start, and I amt been long at this
DO you like it? Much depends, you
know, on teachers ultimate success,

but I'd most as soon teach school as

Which would you rather teach, boys
or girls?"
Boys for some things, and girls for
t'others.'
Which do you find easier to teach" :"

out OF the schoolhouse and asked him

The Laughing Plant.

This grows in Arabia and derives
its name from the peculiar intoxi-
cation produced in those who par
take of its seed. 1t is of moderate
size, with bright yellow flowers and
soft velvety seed pods, each of which
contains two or three seeds re-
sembling small black beans. The
natives of the district where the
plant grows dry these seeds and
reduce them to powder. A small
dose Of this powder has effects SIM
liar to those arising from the inhal-
alton of laughing gas. It causes
the soberest person to dance, shout,
and laugh with the boisterous ex-
element of a mailman, and to rush
about cutting the most ridiculous
capers for nearly an hour. At the
expiration of this time exhaustion
sets in, and the excited person falls
asleep, to wake after several hours
with no recollection of his antics.
The botanical classification of the
growth has not yet been identified.

Too long maiden have been

Ant Funerals.

Lucy L. Verrill, describing her
studies of ants, in Popular Science
News, tells about the ant funerals
which she has witnessed. When
an ant dies, she says, about thirty
of it's surviving comrades gather
about it and two of them carry the
body, while the others 60 along in
a struggling procession. Having
found spot to their liking, the
ants scratch a little hole in the
earth, put the dead ant in it and
then cover up the body. Afterward
they return in procession to their
home, the ant-hill. II have seen
this ceremony performed again and
again" says the writer, ''but the ants
will never bury an ant from another
community; stranger is always
devoured instead" This story is
not more wonderful than many
others that observers of the doings
of ants have recorded.

for it. Their story of oppression
was pitiable. They had been taxed

GEN. GRANT AS A LAUNDRYMAN

IL ID not always 6aIe 10 play q
practical joke unless you are thor
oughly acquainted with your VIC
tim. 1t is sometimes sadly true
that the ''biter is bitten"
We were gathered around a bright
fire in a cozy sitting room. The
Colonel, to our great delight, had
gone back thirty-four years, to his
tent at the base of Kenesaw noun
tain. and was again, as in those past
eventful years, following the banner
of Sherman. Suddenly an odd
thought flashed into the writer's
mind and found expression in a
question:
Colonel" I said, II have read
and heard a great deal about army
life; but on one point was never
much enlightened. How was the
washing done? Who did it for the
soldiers?" A smile stole around the
corners of the Colonel's rather stern
mouth, his black eyes twinkled.
Usually the soldiers did it for
themselves, but | remember one case
where General Grant did some wash
ing for soldier" Every body looked
up in surprise. Much as we had
heard of General Grants old army
blouse and democratic ways among
his men, this idea of his washing for
a private was very novel. There
was chorus of questions and ex-
clamations. t
"Was it really true? Did he
wash for the soldiers? How did it
happen? Tell US about it?" Yes, I"
said the Colonel. at is really true,
and it happened in this way. 1t
was during our advance upon Cor
NTH; several soldiers were talking
together one day. A tall, ungainly
raw recruit stepped up to them with
a bundle of soiled clothes IN his
hand. DO you know where I can
get this washing done?' he asked.
1.-TWO of the group were practical
jokers; a bright thought flashed
into their heads, and as the sequel
shows, unfortunately found express
sion. oh, yes, we know; just go
up there with your bundle,' point
ing to the headquarters of General
Grant, you will see a short, stout
man describing the GENERALLY, who
does washing. Take your bundle
to him.
"The recruit thanked them and
walked off in the direction indi-
Gated. He gained entrance to the
headquarters and stood in the Gen.
erals presence. What can do for
you,' said General Grant. I was
directed here by a couple of SOL
diers. They told me that you did
washing, and l have bundle here.
General Grant probably enjoyed
the situation, bat his imperturbable
face did not relax. He simply asked
the question, Gould you identify
those men again. Yes, SIR very
well, you shall have the chance
Turning to an orderly, he direct
ed him to call guard, go with the
recruit to where the jokers were
standing, ready to enjoy his discom-
future, and let him identify them.
Take the men to the guard house,
give them this mans bundle of
clothing and make them wash it
thoroughly. See that the work is
well DONE.
1.-THE General was obeyed to the
letter, and no more bundles of
soiled clothes came to his head
