Senator Sewell, of New Jersey,
said: mo matter what differences
of opinion may exist among indi-
viduals upon the question of expau
sion, our flag in Porto Rico, Cuba
and the Philippines, will stay there.
The U. S. will never consent to the
surrender or to the hauling down of
the flag. Where that glorious EN-
blem has been raised, there it shall
stay. No matter what may be the
sentiment of the minority, the great
body of the American people will
always be for the flag, under any
and all circumstances. There may
be agitation, but the flag will stay
there, and those who wish to hu-
initiate or dishonor it, will only dis
ere lit themselves in the esteem, if
not more seriously, of their fellow
citizens" "

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

The State Department of Agri-
culture, following the lead of some
other States notably New York,
which has recently introduced the
study of nature in her public
schools, is preparing leaflets, after
the system adopted by Cornell Uni
versity, with a view of sending
them to teachers and having them
used in our State schools. The in
stitute lecturers who will attend
the farmers institute here this
year will be prepared to lecture up
on some natural history subject, as
a sample of how nature study teach
ing may be introduced and practic-
ed in our country schools. As n
sample question let us propose this
one. How does lightning kill a
tree? Answers will cheerfully be
published in the PRESS.

says Written BY Children.
Animals are found everywhere. |
The camel is so well adapted to tra-
yelling over deserts that it is called |
the "Ship of the Desert"
The camel with one hump are call
ed dromedaries, and are used chiefly
as a riding animal. The one with
two humps is called Bactrian cam
el, and is used as beast of burden.
1t can carry load of one thousand
pounds, and travel at the rate of fif-
ty miles a day.
The elephant is a large clumsy an
imal. 1t is found chiefly in Asiaa and
Africa. They are tanned, and used
as beasts of burden.
Next to the mighty elephant is the
rhinoceros. 1t is noted for its horn
ed nose, and will kill even an ele-
phant in combat. The hide of the
rhinoceras is so thick and tough that
bullet will not penetrate it.
The tiger is a ferocious, striped an
imal, belonging to the cat family.
1t is found in India, Malaysia, and
the Malay peninsula.
The walrus, which is an enormous
animal, is fifteen feet in length. 1t
is hunted for its tusks of ivory, and
its blubber, or fat, which yields oil.
There are four kinds of bears viz,
white, black, grizzly and brown. l
will describe but two kinds. The
white bear is eight feet in length.
1t is found in the Polar regions, and
its value lies in its beautiful white
fur.
The grizzly bear of the Rocky
Mountains, is the most ferocious an
imal on the western continent.
Buffalos, or bison, travel in inn
mense herds following brave lead
er. They have been so much hunteC
that few remain. They are hunted
for their skins, horns, and for mere
sport. The buffalos of India have
their long horns turned back. Many
have been tanned and used as beasts
If burden.
The hippopotamus is large ami
NAL living most of the time in water
1t is found in the regions of the Mil
river only.
The gorilla resembles a human
being. He is ferocious and very
strong, being able to break thicl
branches of trees, and kill a man at 1
single blow. His height is about fiv,
feet.

When Pa He Was A Boy.


| Wisht 'at had been here when
My pa he was a boy;
There must have been excitement
When my pa was a boy. [then,
In school he always took first prize;
He tried to lick folks twice his size.-
l bet folks all had bulgin' eyes,
When my pa was boy.
They were lots of wonders done
When my pa was boy;
How grandpa must have loved his
When my pa was boy! [son,
He'd get the coal an chop the wood,
And think of every way he could
To Always jist be sweet and good,
When my pa was a boy.
Then, everything was in its place,
When my pa was boy;
How he could rassel, jump and race,
When my pa was a boy!
He never, never disobeyed;
He beat in every game he played;
Gee! what a record they was made
When my pa was a boy.
/ wish 'at 1 had been here when
My pa he was boy;
They'll never be his like agen-
Pa was a mOddle boy.
But still, last night l heard my ma
Raise up her voice and call my pa
The worst fool that she ever saw
He ought of staid a boy!

FISH HOOKS OF LONG AGO
In Ancient Times They Were Made
of Bone or Wood.

In Ancient Times They Were Made
of Bone or Wood.
Men have doubtless been fishers
from very remote times; hunger would
teach them to catch fish as well as to
hunt mammals, but while the eviden-
ces of the latter are so abundant in the
shape of stone weapons, the weapons
or implments used for catching fish,
being made of less durable material,
have disappeared. The exceptions to
this general statement are the few in
stances where fish hooks made entire
ly of stone and wood, or bone, have
been preserved with the other impli-
ments of similar material.
Fish hooks of siliciOus material
have not been found in America, but
hooks composed of flint or chalcedony
and bone have been found in Green
land.
The invention of rude impliments to
facilitate the catching of fish would
not require the exercise of any great
ingenuity or mechanical skill From
watching the fish snap at or swallow
objects thrown in the water, the
idea of tying some tempting bait on
the end of a string, and throwing 1t
into the water, to be seized and swal
lowed by the fish, which could then be
pulled out by means of the string,
would be very simple, and from this to
the earliest known attachment for
making the capture of a fish more GER
tain. that of attaching n silver of wood
to the end of the string or line, in such
n way that any attempt at escape on
the part of the fish, says Popular
Science, would make its capture more
certain, was very easy.
Afterward pieces of bone or wood
sharpened at each end, and sometimes
grOoved in the middle to keep the
string from slipping, were evolved.
Implements OF this character are
still used by the Esklmos for catching
sea-gulls and other water fowl. A
cord made OF braided grass, fifteen OF
eighteen inches long, is lOoped around
the groove in the bone, and fastened tO
a trawl line kept extended by an.
chored buoys, the bone being bated
with small fish, into which the imple
ment is inserted lengthwise. The
trawl lines are placed near the breed
ing places of the birds, and would be
equally effective in the capture Of Ger
tain kinds of fish.
As men gained experience and ad
vanced in knowledge, other forms OF
implements would he evolved better
suited for the purpose, but, with the ex
ceptiOn Of better material being used
in the manufacture, the fish hooks OF
the civilized nations of to-day are but
little in advance of those used by sav,
age races and prehistoric peoples.
Prehistoric fish hooks Of bronze and
others made from the tusks of the
wild boar are found in the Swiss
lakes. Another form of bronze fish
hook, found in the Lake of Morat Ii
almost identical in form with those
used to-day. Clipped flint fisk hooks
are found in Sweden. Among the
Aborigines of Wisconsin native copper
was used in the manufacture Of va
rious weapons and implements, and
fish hooks of beaten copper have
been found in some of the mounds in
that region.

Comptroller of the Currency Dawes
thinks one of greatest needs in con-
nection with our rapidly increasing
foreign trade is some method of in
ternatiOnal banking, such as England
and Germany have, not only with
European countries, but with South
and Central American Countries, and
he will call the attention of Congress
to the matter in his annual report.
As an argument Of the need of such
facilities, Mr.. Dawes said: "Suppose
two men are dealing in live stock.
One of them sells a bunch of horses,
and ships them to the purchaser, up
on whom he draws for the money.
He takes the draft to the bank and
dis counts it. With the money, he
buys more stock, which he sells and
ships in like manner. The second
man does not use banks. He sells
his horses, and after shipping, waits
for the purchaser to remit. While
the second man is waiting for his
money, the first man has made hall
a dozen transactions, has increased
his own earnings.

Edward G.. Andre, who is Bel
gium s Consul at Manila, is visiting
Washington. He predicts a speedy
end to the insurrection and says
that 10000 Filipinos cannot stand
before a regiment of American sol
diers, and that the end would have
been reached long before this if the
present rainy season had not been
unusually long and severe. Wher
asked what he thought of what the
American soldiers had accomplished
over there. Mr.. Andre, who is a
disinterested witness and who
speaks from personal knowledge ac-
quired on the ground, replied ::
"They have done well-very well.
If you only knew the condition of
that country, you would be surpris-
ed that they have done what they
have. The weather has been simp-
ly awful-worse this year than u.s.
ual-and fighting under such con-
ditions is very difficult indeed"

Some complaint has during the
past few weeks reached our ears
as to the Press lack of general
local news. Too much political
trash" they say has occupied space
where local and editorial matter
rightfully belonged. We unflinch-
ingly admit that such has been the
case, but with view of trying to
please everybody we have uncon-
sciously drifted so far in the politi-
cal world as to forget our principal
duty, viz, to inform and promote
the welfare of our people. Now
that the big battle is over and the
smoke cleared away we will en-
deavor to redeem ourselves and
keep our readers in touch with the
town and county's happenings, be-
sides miscellaneous bits clipped from
exchanges which will be of interest
to some if not all patrons of the
PRESS.
A brief write-up of all social
events, we know please the gentler
sex. and also are sure if it was their
good fortune to possess the right of
suffrage no complaint would have
been heard, but on tho contrary
too much political trash could not
be'published Isn't that so ?

Secretary Long said of the pre-
liminary report of the Philippine
Commission. which is commended
d by everybody except the "littler
American :" "There have been so
many misrepresentation and exag-
gerations that it is delightful to
have so valuable and explicit a
statement from Board, the compo-
sition of which could not be improv-
ed in this country or any other,
Two Of the men who are members
have been long known IN their as
sociation with our leading Univer-
sites the third gentlemen has had
more than twelve years of diplo-
matte experience in China, and the
fourth is to-day the most con-
spicuous man in the nations eye.
Three of the men have never been
associated in any way with politics,
and the fourth, who has not taken
any active part in politics, by reas-
on of his diplomatic service, is one
of the most respected members of
the Democratic party, and certainly
cannot be charged with any leaning
towards the administration. 1t is
especially gratifying that the report
backs up and endorses the position
and the statements of the President
upon this whole matter"
