it is not its vegetative processes,

then elected principal, remained
in office from 1912 to 1851.
With the year 1851 this insti.
tuition entered upon the second
stage Of its history. 1t was re.
chartered then as Normal College,
the leading purpose Of which was
the training Of teachers for the
public schools.

ary, an interval Of about five
scholastic months.
DIR. Craven was reelected Pres
ident, and the college resumed its
work in the beginning Of January,
1866. Following this, the history
of the college is one of heroic en-
deavor to restore its fortunes and
regain its former degree Of success.
The building of the college chapel
was begun in 1873, and completed
in 1875. About 1888 the first
bequest was made by DIR. Siddle,
of North Carolina, for the endow,
ment fund. The death of its
President, DIR. Craven, November
7, 1882, was heavy loss to the
progress of the institution. AT
once Prof. w. HI. Pegram, then a
member of the faculty, was made
C. sirman, in which capacity he
served until June, 1888, when the
Rev. DR.. M. L. Wood was elected
President Of the College. In De

DR.. A. J. White, who was a visit
or to the city yesterday, expressed |
great interest in the good roads |
movement which has been inaugu-
rated in Brazos county aud said he
would do all he could 10 aid the
important undertaking. DR.. White |
was appointed good roads chairman
in the Macy precinct by Judge A.
G.. Board and says he will call
meeting and oall he can to organize
a Good Roads Club there; also that
he will circulate the proposed petit
ton Cor 5 cent special road and
bridge tax election. We feel sure
that Dr.. White will make a success
Of the movementin his community,
with the help Of other public spir-
tied citizens in that locality. He
and Mr.. Mcdonald relate that they
had TO come around by Wheelock
yesterday to get here, rain having
put Cedar creek up Monday, when
they tried TO come and had to turn
back, and that work on the roads
and briggs in his part Of the couu-
ty is a crying necessity.
The Eagle hopes this matter Of
organizing good roads clubs will
be taken up promptly in all parts
of the county by those appointed
for the purpose. The power for
good that might result from the co.
operation Of such clubs would al
once be incalculable, and in very
: few years would give to Brazo'
county a first class system of roads
and briggs which might easily b
: kept in perfect repair.

WHAT'S IN A NAME2

This is what Farm and Ranch
says about the change made by the
Agricultural Department in potato
nomenclature:
"The division of statistics OF
the Department of Agriculture has
changed the name Irish potato to
White potatp' aud hereafter in
statistical reports they will be SO
denohhnated. Aghe reason given
for the change is that the name
Irish potato is misnomer; there
fore, TO distinguish il from the
sweet potato, the spud will 70 as
White potato. The new name, it
strikes US, is also misnomer, and
utterly fails to distinguish il from
the sweet potato. The Irish or
Nhite potato may be white or
brown or pink or red or yellow, OF
any one Of a large number Of
shades so also MAJ -eet pota-
to. There is no color presented in
one that is not represented in the
other. We fail to see any adyant-
age to accrue from the new name,
as neither breyity nor perspicuity
is attained"

IMITATION RUBiES .

Jewellers Admit They Cannot Tell the
 Artihciai Gems from the Real
 One of the prima donnas at the Met ropolltan opera house wears in one role beautiful parure of diamonds, and she mortified another singer in the company by telling her that they were French limitations that had not cost one-fiftieth of what they seemed to have cost.
 The other woman was distressed be- cause all of hers were real, and the thought of the money invested in them was too much for her.
 Immitation jewels have come to be so finely made that detection is almost impossible. Even for ordinary wear they are accounted beautiful, and 1t Is only the knowledge of their falsity which makes them unpopular. For every ordinary purpose they are as useful as the genuine pieces.
 The last jewels to be initiated with wonderful success are rubies, and they happen to be a fashionable stone just now. The manufactory which has these imitation rubies on the market Is situated in London, and 1t has al- ready been said there that the price of real rubies will certainly fall in con- sequence of the discovery of these wonderful limitations. The profits of the company making the rubies are said to be $1S5,000 a year.
 Artificial Iubies weighing 40 carats can be produced, but are not, as there would be no sale for stones of that size. An authority has said that there is no way known to him by which these stones can be told from the genu- inc ones.
 A London jeweler questioned as to the possible results of these good and cheap limitations said that the stones to initiate might become the most valuable and most fashionable, York Sun.
The St. Johns herald., 1899-06-24

Arkansas legislators bave passed game law that will subject to a fine woman who wears stuffed bird on her hat. If these kinds of attacks on our cherished institutions are to con- tinue it will soon be declared a misde- meanor for fashionably attired wom- an to wear live bugs as ornaments, even when suspended by a chain and allow ed moderate liberty. Our Audubon so- ciety friends are laying up trouble for themselves. It is only step to the declaration of ban on ostrich plumes and other staples of feminine head gear. and woe betide the iconoclast who attempts this final blow at the preroga- tives of the fair sex.
