We believe that the negro school, as
a rule, especially the school OF higher
grade, has inculcated false and vicious
notions in the negro, has made him
feel that he is too good for his natural
and proper place, while it has failed
utterly to fit him for a higher sphere
of action The wisest negro leader
in America, Booker Washington, ad-
mits this.

The Germans, who are so far ahead
Of many nations in certain class of
technical skill, have incorporated into
their plumbing practice a non-freezing
water pipe, which will save an meal
culable amount Of annoyance in a sin
gle winter. The purpose of the in
vention is not only to prevent the wa
ter from freezing, but to provide an op-
portunity for its expansion by cold. In
to the iron pipe, as far as it is above
the ground, there is inserted second,
narrower pipe Of thin sheet tin or lead
which is Allied with an elastic sub
stance, such, for instance, as rubber.
This insertion remains unaffected by
the ordinary pressure, but if the water
should be frozen by extreme cold the
elastic insertion is compressed by SO
much as the volume of water is in
creased by the freezing. With the com
ing of the thaw the insertion expands
again to its original circumference.
The object of the tin or lead around
the insertion is to prevent an unpleas-
ant taste or odor being impaired to
the water. 1t is said that water pipes
provided with such an insertion have
withstood cold test of 40 degrees cen
tigrade, while others that were not so
provided invariably burst at that TEN.

At a meeting of the City Council held
last night. Councilmen A. B. Coleman and
r. A. Buckner asked for a reconsideration
of the recent measure sent 10 the Vir-
ginia Legislature for enactment into law
providing that parties to private suits
should pay the jury fees in both the
courts of Roanoke. The measure was
denounced by both gentlemen as being
most outrageous in its character, and Mr.
Buckner intimated that 1t was gotten up
in the interest of defunct banks, land
companies, and corporations. The Dill
was reconsidered and special kilograms
sent to Roanoke's representatives In the
House and Senate instructing them TO Kill
the bill.
Mr. Buckner created a sensation In the
Council by charging openly that Mayor

gate were violating the law by the former
furnishing and the latter purchasing coal
for the city's uses. The charge created
a stir such as was never before known In
the Council Of this city. and the excite

Mr. Buckner presented the ordinances and
receipted bills for coal In vindication oil
his charge. which were not disputed. IL
was thought at times the excitement
would end In blows. After most sem
sational session the matter was dropped.
