SMALL GREENHOUSE.
4 Help to Those Wishing TO Make .
Start Florists In a Small,
Modest Way.

The plan of greenhouse here shown
Is intended as a help to those who
would like to start as florists in a small
way but who are not able to do so be-
cause the ordinary greenhouse is so
very expensive. A trench is dug along
the eastern side of dwelling house;
If it has a cellar six feet deep the
trench should be two feet wide and
four feet deep; a door is cut in the eel
lar wall (m), and the trench should
be boarded up on the side opposite the
wall to prevent earth caving in.
A door is placed in the south end and

1t will be remembered that in the
farcical comedy, "Never Again." at tie
very end of the play, the stage is sud
denly darl0ened just as the schoolmas-
ter and his wife return. The object in
darkening it is to get rid of this pair Of
detestabl bores. The people are all on
the stage, but, of course, the darkness
hides them.
The schoolmaster's voice is heard at
one of the entrances.
"Oh, they have all gone home" he
says, 1.-The room is dark
Then he and his tiresome wife go
away and the lights are turned up, dis
closing the rest of the company scat
tered about the stage.
At a recent matinee one of the
rear windows of the opera house stage
happened to be without shade. When
the electric lights were turned out a
sudden ray of sunshine streamed
through this window and made the
stage as bright as day.
At the proper entrance appeared the
schoolmaster. Probably he was
stumped when he saw the stage, but he
concealed his feelings.
Hal" he calmly said, ''they have near
ly all gone home-the room is almost
dark"
Then he made his exit and the cleo
trio lights chased the sunlight from the
boards.-C1eveland Plain Dealer.

An Apt QuOter.

A student had been up for examina-
ton in Scripture, and failed so utterly
that the examiner got eXasPerated.
Finally the latter asked him if there
was any text in the whole Bible he
could quote. The student pondered and
then repeated: And Judas went out
and hanged himself" rs there any
other verse you know in the Bible ?''

and do likewise" There was a sol

right there.-Golden Days.

used until the extreme cold weather
sets in; then it should be fastened I'M
til mild weather returns. A cask of
water is kept at the north end of the
trench, and tools of all sorts should
hang from nails driven into the side
of the dwelling house.
This little greenhouse may be built
as long or as short as the builder de-
sires and the size of the main house
will allow, but it should be six feet

Peace has been declared, and the in
tereSting fact now stands out in sharp
relief that not a single regiment, com
pany or any squad from any Southern
State was allowed the opportunity to
pull a trigger in the war. 1t may have
been an accidental circumstance, but
it does not have the appearance of one,
and politics probably had something
to do with it. However, Wheeler.
Schlcy, Hobson and Blue represented
US fairly we'll, and showed how we

A Pathetic Scene in the Chancery
Court.

MISSISSIPPI CITY, Miss, Aug. 3d.
OF all the sad and pathetic scenes
that have ever taken place within the
little, old-fashiOned courthouse at this
place within the past fifty years, since
1t has been a temple OF justice, surely
none have been more touching than
the one witnessed here to-day, when
the case of Randall VS.. Randall, for
the possession of their little daughter,
a beautiful child Of 9 years, was being
heard. Mr.. and Mrs. Randall, who
| are we'll known citizens OF Scranton,
Miss, separated about a year ago, and
Mrs. Randall has since been living in
| Mobile, Mr.. Randall retaining posses
sion of the child.
Mrs. Randall claims that she has
| since been unable to see her child, al
though she has made several trips to
Scranton for the especial purpose.
She therefore instituted habeaS cor
pus proceedings to gain possession OF
the child.
After hearing all the evidence and
| the arguments in the case, Judge Hill
rendered his decision, which was that
Llle Cltllu Uc TAKEN liOul UuC cCpiuk
of both father and mother, and placed
in a school at P0plarville, Miss,
where both parents can visit her at
will. the father to pay her board and
tuition and the mother tn clOtlle her.
During the entire proceeding both pit.
rents and the child were in the court
room. The child seemed to fully re-
alize the Importance of the proceed
ings and the. part She was playing
therein. Her affections seemed to be
equally divided between the father
and mother. Several times she went
from one to- the other and threw her
arms around their nccks and sObbed
as only Il hcartbrokcn child can. She
will be taken to the Poplarvillc school
at Once.

MATTERS.

Always interested in educational
matters, we watch the progress OF our
schools and colleges with u%nfeigned
pleasure. We are glad to know that
Mississippi College (Clinton) has the
worthy and tiled DR.. w, T. Lowrey at
the helm, he having been unanimous
ly elected to that position, and that
Blue Mountain Female College loses
nothing in exchange OF Presidents,
the gifted B. G.. Lowrey being in every
way fitted for the great responsible
ties thrust upon him.
Again, we are delighted when hon
ors fall upon Misslssippians. We think
that the Board Of Virginia Polytech-
mic Institute did a wise thing In elect
ing Our DR.. Richard Henry Hudnall,
of Brandon. Miss, professor Of En-
glish and History. DR.. Hudnall Is Il
cultured scholar, having studied at
home and abroad, and is withai a
christian gentleman, faithful to every
duty in life. We have known and
loved him from his infancy up to no
Bile manhood. and rejoice In his merit
ed success. There are other Missis-
sippians occupying prominent posi-
tions in many Of the leading educa-
tional institutions Of our land, and
our heart gIows with pleasure when
We reflect that they are potent factors
in the shaping Of the future OF our
country. Upon the guidance of our
sons and daughters depends the veal
or woe Of our nation.
