The Elba correspondent replies TO
our remarks concerning a township
high school in way that indicates
that he is not exactly pleased with
what we have said. AS 1t is impossi-
BILE for him to form any argument
against our statements, he tries to
taunt us with the statement that we
have two saloons in our midst. 1t is
true that we have two such places, and
that they sell the "vlle juice to which
our many Elba friends can testify.
However, If our warm friend expects
to form strong character by removing
all temptations, he is not dealing in
the soundest logic. Again, If the gem
tleman will take he slightest pains to
investigate for himself and find how
far the good effects of our schools
have triumphed over the evil effects of
the schools, he will no doubt have a
high opinion of the morals and char
acter which have prevailed within our
schools for the last dozen and more
years. Prof. Wheeler was not here for
a dozen years for nothing, and the
manner in which Prof. Ellison is con-
Quoting the school does not indicate
that it will fall one iota from the
present high standard
Our Elba friend concludes as fol-
lows: 1--WE hope the Board of Edu-
cation will at their next regular meet
in" establish township high school,"
Sincerely, dear friend, we hope the
same; but we also hope that the people
interested will have a voice in decid-
| ing whether they shall have a separate
high school or shat have the benefit
of the enthusiasm and character of a
well established school,

GIVE THE CHILDREN A DRINK

called Grain-O. 1t is delicious, nour-
ishing food drink to take the place of
coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked
by all who have used it because when
properly prepared it tastes like the
finest coffee, but is free from all its in
furious properties. Grain-O aids di-
gestion and strengthens the nerves.
1t is not a stimulant, but health
builder, and children, as well as adults
can drink it with great benefit. Costs

rows and Too Many Worth-
les~ Ours.

People arrivingin New York from Ber-
muda say that the island is overrun
by cats and sparrows. The nuisance of
the plague has even been discussed in
the colonial legislature at Hamilton.
Visitors from the United States seek
ing the balmy climate of Bermuda are
complaining especially of the .cat
gangs" which nightly disturb their
sleep, says the New York journal.
When the dog tax bill came up before
the legislature, DIR. T. A. Outerbridge,
one of the members of the council, pro-
posed an amendment. In doing SO he
enid:
Il should like to see the bill recast
and heavier tax put upon dogs, be-
cause we have too many worthless ours
In Bermuda. should also like to see
. tax put upon cats. You may laugh.
but II there is any useless animal in
this world it is cat. Cats may be of
some use in some countries, but they
are of no use here. They do not kill
rats. They do destroy our native birds.
Il have not seen a bluebird in six
weeks, and there ought to be plenty
OF them here now from America. l
have not seen one this year, and before
long all our native birds will be exter-
minated-between the cats and the
sparrows,"

Many 6cientists.

The famous Neanderthal skeleton was

on the same level with bones Of the ex.
tinct cave bear, says the American An.
thropologist. The workmen who excu
waited 1t, not knowing its value, only
saved the larger bones and tho skull.
The frontal prominences are enormous,
producing great overhanging supra.
orbital ridge, entirely unlike anything
ordinarily seen in the skulls of to-day,
and reminding one strikingly of the
skulls of the higher apes. 1t was de.
clared by Huxley to be by far the most
ape-like skull that had hitherto been
discovered. The remaining bones OF
the skeleton Indicated a man Of un-
usually powerful frame.
A very forcible attack wns made upon

orati0As

II is a proof Of the high degree Of
elaboration to which fiction literature
in China has been carried that most OF
their novels are thiclkly lnterspersed
With poems OF all orders Of merit.
No stronger evidence could be afford
ed Of the fact that whatever they lack
1t is not literary finish. If anything,
they have this in excess.
These poems are introduced In va
r1ety Of ways. The hero sends one in
a billet doux to the heroine, or he over.
hears her singing one. or perhaps a
poetic contest is struck up, the fine or
defeat being generally the compulsory
drinking of SO many extra fagons OF
wine.
Wine drinking and versifcaion al.
most invariably go together in Chinese
novels. though whether they do so In
real life We nre unable to.say.
Above all things, every man who sets
up to be anything in the way Of hero
in. Chinese fiction must be prepared Ia
extemporize by the ream in inimitable
poetry.
