The Lieutenant Governor Named to

 Roosevelt's Eligibility Settled to
 the Satisfaction of the Delegates

1t would be we'll for cotton
growers carefully to consider the

for planting this season. Anoth-

now being marketed, with every
prospect Of Il general upheaval IN

certainly sell for even lower prices

Teaching Patriotism at School.
1t is we'll to have care that the
culture of patriotism in our schools
does not descend to Il perfunctory
observance OF empty forms. Re
spect for the government, and
knowled ge of It's functions, are
more important than sentimental
cheering of the flag or the repeti
ton of high sounding patriotic
pledges. Let the child know what
government has done for him and
is doing for him. Try to make
him feel what he would lose were
the government overthrow. Con-
trast the present liberty which we
enjoy, with the cruelties of mod
ern and ancient despotisms. Bring
the lesson home by practical illus
trations, drawn from the fruitful
pages of history. Improve every
opportunity to let the child see
the practical utility and benefceuce
OF popular government The
general carrying out of this pro-
gram in all our schools is neces-
sary. if we would train up citizens
who shall be beyond the baleful
influence of both the anarchist and
the political partisan. Learning

WoRRY.-Men and women given
over TO worry, will worry about the
strangest, the most out of the way
the most unheard of, the most laugh
able things it is possible to conceive.
1t matters very little what are the
outward circumstances-the will can
find something in them to remind it
of its own Limitation of power, and
to provoke to its consequent resent
ment. 1t is curious to see how
people of this habit will take any
thing that first comes to hand-good,
bad or indifferent-and instantly
begin to find in 1t something to grow
anxious and impatient over, to pull
about first on this side and then that,
until an exciting CONSCIOUSNESS of
their own inability to do anything in
the matter, and an irritated feeling in
consequence of it, get the uperhand
of their good sense.
What we have to say upon this
subject by way of practical sugges-
ton is just what everybody says, and
says to little or no purpose. Worry

One Cause of Forest Fires

A traveller who had occasion 70 make
an encampment on a ledge Of rock IN 81
unbroken forest asserts that he witness
ed the beginning of one of tina most de-
structive forest fires that ever occurred
in that region. A dead tree Of enormous
size blew over and lodged against an
other tree, which it bent almost in the
form of a bow. The fierce wind swayed
the top of the bent tree which supported
the trunk Of its fallen neighbor. It SO
CHANGED that there was a space of sew
eral feet where the fallen tree was
smooth and rested on the other. The
force of the wind in sweeping the bent
tree back and forth soon ground the
bark from the trunk Of the tree. The
friction caused by this grinding de-
veloped a high degree of heat, and the
tourist, to his astonishment, saw the
wood of the dead tree burst into a fame.
The top was soon consumed and fell,
scattering burning embers upon the dry
leaves for some distance around. These,
famed to a fame by the wind, soon Gre
ated q fierce fire that swept over miles
OF valuable timber. Much blame has
been attached TO campers and malicious
persons vino lave, It is alleged, started
fires either through carelessness or for i
desire for wantcn mischief. Owners Of
large tracts of land would do we'll to
keep close watch of their forests during
and after heavy windstorms which are
not accompanied by a heavy rain. A lit
! tie precauticn might save thousands Of
! acres Of valuable timber. New York
