A GREAT HUNTING CHEETAH,
Animal Is the Property of Rajah Bom-
madevnra of India.

madevnra of India.
In India the wild beasts of the jungle
are trained-a strangely incongruous
circumstance-to hunt in behalf of man
the tanner game of the forest, says the
Philadelphia Times.
The cheetah is the animal used for this
purpose. He is strange beast, 1.-the,
graceful, leopard-like creature belong
ing to the cat family, but having when
tanned all the characteristics of dog.
He hunts with the precision of the best
of deer hounds, principally tracking the
deer, though he is as able in running
down other animals.
He is affectionate and obedient as
dog, following his master about with
great fidelity, and obeying his slightest
command. When taken out for hunt
he is usually blindfolded by hood un-
til the quarry is sighted, when the hood
is removed and he starts on his merci-
less errard. He never relents, often
trailing deer for miles before finally
securing him. Usually, however, he ap-
proaches so noiselessly that he pounces
upon his prey without the slightest
warning and brings him to the earth in
short order.
The cheetah of Rajah Bommadevara.
Nenkata Narasuntra Naidu Bahadur, is
the most renowned hunter in India, and
is so l'ghly priced by his master that
1t is said he could not be bought for half
such a principality as that over which

rINUS IN FIJI.
Exploration Party Discovers New
Wnndera ON the Ialnud

Wonders on the Island.
A scientific exploration party IN
charge of Prof. Agassiz recently paid q
visit to the Fiji islands, making some
discoveries of much general interest,
reports the Japan Gazette. At Maram-
bo they located an extinct volcano, open
on the north side. Dotted over the sur
face of the water in the crater were
numerous mushroom-shaped rocks, and
the water itself in the light of a burn
ing sun revealed to the visitors hitherto
unknown beauties of color. AT Toloya
q crater of an extinct volcano was
found, into which the steamer could
enter and sail around. Here, as in other
places, the visitors were entertained
with "mik, miki," which seems to be
something in the nature of corro-
boree.
In the various lagoons visited dred9-
ing was resorted to for the purpose of
securing specimens of coral and marine
animalcule. On the rocks at the base
of the Solos lighthouse, near the North
Astrolabe reefs, at Kandava island, two
sea snakes were caught by Capt.
Thompson, who saw no less than ten
OF them in as many minutes.
The capture of several live speci-
mems of bulolo, or coral worms. ap-
peared TO have caused much gratifca-
tion TO the searchers, who, aided by the
natives in canoes, discovered them In
thousands. The worm is said to dis
solve after being about two hours on the
surface. When the results of Prof.
Agassiz's Investigations are made pub
lie they will, doubtless, provide much
Interesting and valuable information.

SLAVERY MADE ORATORS.
Power OF a Great Cause 20 Make All
Men Eloquent.

Power OF q Great Cause TO Make All
Men Eloquent.
Thomas Wentworth Higg4nson, SOL
dier, author and gentleman, contrib
utes a charming autobiographical
sketch to the Atlantic Monthly in an
article entitled ION the Outskirts of
Public Life" In this sketch he relates
many incidents and experiences of his
literary and public life.
Living in university city," he says,
"I am occasionally asked by students
how they can best train themselves for
public speaking, and I always begin
with one bit of counsel, based ON half
century's experiences: Enlist in re-
form Engage in something which you
feel for the moment so unspeakably
more important than yourself as wholly
TO dwarf you, and the rest will come.
No matter what it is-tariff or free
trade, gold standard or silver, even COM
munism or imperialism-the result is
the same as to oratory, if you are only
sincere. Even the actor on the dra-
matte stage must fill himself with his
part or he is nothing, and the public
speaker on the platform must be more
than a dramatic actor to produce the
highest effects. There is an essential
thing wanting to the eloquence of the
men who act part, but given a pro-
found sincerity and there is something
wonderful in the way it overcomes the
obstacles of hoarse voice, n stammer-
ing tongue or feeble presence.
"On the anti-slavery platform, where
was reared, I cannot remember a real
ly poor, speaker. As Emerson said:
'Eloquence was dog cheap there. The
cause was too real, too vital, too imme-
uiately pressing upon heart and con
science for the speaking tq be other
wise than alive. It carried men away
jas WitA . food"

Parents and Patrons Day.

Our schools are what we make them.
To raise the educational standard there
must be the hearty support Of every
one interested In the advancement OF
our Public Schools. In no way can sue
cess be more quickly or more surely
gained than by bringing parents into
contact and sympathy with the teachers
and the schools.
With this end in view, Dec. Is, 1898,
is set apart as "Public School Day" for
the schools of this county Parents and
patrons are urged to lend encourage
ment to the schools by their frequent
presence during the term, but special
invitation Is extended to them on this
day.
1t is desired and requested that each
teacher arrange for the proper observ-
ance OF the day. The following sugges-
tions are offered:
First.-That you send a cordial invi-
tation written or printed) to each pa.
tron of your school and also to each
member Of your School Board.
Second.-That you carry on the regu-
lar work OF the school. Visitors will be
more interested In the regular recita-
tions than In any special program.
Third.-That you arrange any exhibit
tion work done during the term, for the
inspection OF parents.
Fourth.-That you do not annoy Wis.,
itors by urging them to address the
school. Give an opportunity for re-
marks by visitors, but let them be vol
untary.
Fifth.-That as soon as convenient
you send a postal card to the Superin-
tendent OF the number OF parents and
patrons present on this day, also the
number OF directors.

Silk Mill Notes.

The number OF running looms keeps
on increasing every day at the mill
and. as colors come in for large per-
centage, the winding, warping and
weaving rooms will soon have the
aspect Of a rainbow, or better, Of n
crazy quilt. These colors are spring
forerunners.
The Dubois steam filters are again
at the mill hurrying their work.
Betting is very active among weavers
as to the date the steam fitting of the
heating apparatus will he completed
Some hold for Decoration Day. some
more daring hope for Easter, although
this last date is given at fifteen to one.
AS to the steam filters men, they are
silent and wear a mysterious smile, only
once In while nodding or winking
knowingly. They seem pretty sure
that they have a good job and intend to
make 1t last until Independence Day,
when IL will be so hot that not a soul
would dare to put steam in the pipes to
test whether they are still leaking or
not. To my brother weavers, about
July 4th we will have the brand new
steam heating apparatus ready for
| work. Have patience, remembering
that patience is the mother OF all vir-
tues.
In few days the silk mill will be
ready to take another squad OF 25 to 30
new learners. Applications may be
made now.

The new whistle at the silk mill can
be heard all through the city and sur

more in agreement with the proportions
of the graceful building on the other
side of the creek.
Messrs. Orrie Henry and Jacob WHIP,
two Carlisle. Pa, weavers, have arrived
at the mill and are each running two
looms.
Weavers are hurrying turning out
pieces Of woven goods, but they cannot
keep even with the activity OF the
Wrappers. who always manage to keep
