The Ohio County Teachers Institute
met in the Normal School hall at West
Liberty yesterday morning. being called
to order by County superintendent
George s. Blggs. Devotional exercises
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Carver,
pastor OF the Presbyterian church, after
which the new county superintendent
was called on for speech. He declared
that he would like to make a speech but
had no subject. 81 would like to take
the ladies' for subject, but experience
has proven that the ladies are not sub
tects, but soverelgns" He closed his
remarks by expressing an earnest de-
sire that the institute might work great
good to those in attendance.
After the enrolment of nInety-flve
members, Prof. N. c. Tough. of the
Fairmont normal school, the Instructor,
was introduced and in a very happy
manner thanked the people for their
kind reception and expressed his great
delight with West Liberty and Its sur
roundlngs. he outlined some plans for
good institute work. The teachers ex-
press themselves as feeling confident Of
having a good instructor, and one who
is thoroughly in earnest.
After a delightful recitation by Miss
Minnie Winters, of Sand Hill, Marshall
county. the institute took a recess until
1880 p. m.
At the afternoon session the topic
"what Teachers Should Read" was
presented. The discussion was opened
by Mr.. j. t. Maxwell, who thought the
first book should be the Bible, and then
as many other good books.
Mr.. George Oldham favored works of
fiction. Others advocated the reading
of that class of literature that was most
helpful to the teacher.
Instructor Tough gave a very inter-
estlng address on arithmetic, touching
with special emphasis on longitude and
time, illustrated by blackboard work.
Rev. Carver gave a very interesting
and instructive talk on the moral train
ing of school children. Several teachers
told of their methods of instructing
their pupils to lead better and purer
lives.
After the singing Of "old Kentucky
Home" by the choir the institute adj
journed until o'clock this morning.

THE DUM-DUM BULLET.
what IL Looks Like and wherein Its
Effects Differ from the small
bore Missiles.

The peace congress considered the
"dlm-dum" bullet at considerable
length, and England strongly opposed
any restrictions against its use among
savage tribes. There are certain cases,
however, where its use really seems TO
be advisable. When dealing with
fanatics, like the Soudanese, war OF
determination must be carried on, and
the dum-dum bullet seems TO be the
most effective remedy for placing the
enemy hors de combat, and the bullets
are also used in the prison of one of our
western states. Nowadays all the chief
powers have small-bore rifles, and are
liable to become involved in warfare
with more or less savage races, as when
their colonial possessions are menaced,
so that many of them doubtless desire
TO use the most effective bullet posi-
bic. Our engraving shows what is
known as the English MARK W." cart

The stout Lady Was LeHs n burden

One Of the most delightful women in New

years ago. She is bullion the order of the

ing disposition and laughs heartily when she
tells this story on herself
She had been to the Catskils for few
weeks, staying at one of those mountain top
houses that il takes you four hours TO drive
up TO and half an hour 70 come down from.
She was. met at the nearest railway station,
she and half dozen others, by stage that
set off up the mountain road. IL was hot and
the stout lady had kind heart. She pitied
the horses and as the road grew sleeper she
volunteered TO get out and walk. The driver
helped her down and she trudged along as
far as she could. Then she was helped into
the stage again and at the next steep grade
she insisted on being helped out She had
returned TO TIE carriage another time, when
they came to a still sleeper stretch of road
way. The stout lady was just too tired to
walk another step.
"Well,'" she said, "Im not going to get out
again. I'm too tired
The driver turned to her with a look Of
gratitude.
That's all right" he said. "Set still. I'd
lot rather haul you than heft you in and
out so often"
And he hauled" her to the very steps Of
the hotel.-N. Y. Sun.

"You must remember" said the man
who was arguing with great yolubility and
elf-approyal, shat we owe duty TO the
WHO is the public:' inquired Mr.. Bly,
kins, abruptly.
"Why--er--the masses, you know; the
general populace.
"No." said Mr.. Blykins, with emphasis,
"you got the wrong idea. The public Is
something to be roped in; 10 be gouged; TO
oe walked over. To the sugar trust the pub
lie il a great congregation OF confectionery
consumers. To the beef trust the public Is

who have influence at elections; TO the the

you think the public gets imposed upon
-Yes. 1t doesn't deserve any better, ard
retribution is always waiting. The man
who imposes on the public in one respect
lapses back into the general outfit in some
thing else and is imposed on in his turn.
It's heartless business all the way
through. One great and elaborate scheme
of imposition. What people ought TO do is
TO hold primaries in all parts Of the civilized

u IL Not Impossible That Electricity
Map Have a Permanent Enect
ON the Human skin.

Some doubt having been thrown ON
a story recently told In the European
papers of the bleaching OF the skin
OF coal-black negro, whose master
had placed him for treatment in the
hands of an electrotherapisi, who had
wide reputation for exceptional skill
in the application of static electricity.
"a French scientific paper now shows
that the electric augmentation Of
dark skins is perfectly feasible. Elec-
triciiy modifies the tissue and liquids
of the living body when il traverses
them, either by provoking certain
chemical reactions or certain changes
of state, or by suspending or disturbing
the nutrition of the blood vessels and
nerves. Ii Is contended that while
these facts are not easily explained.
they are undeniable, and although the
laws that govern them remain ut
present in obscurity, these phenomena
manifest themselves by visible and tam
gible effects, one of the most common
of which is discoloration. In a large
number of cases in which surgical use
of electricity is made, n scar so dis
tinct is left that IL alters the color of
the skin, on which appears white spot
of considerable size. II is evident that
oring matter or pigment of the epider-
mis- has been exerted. This epidermis
consists of three distinct layers or
cells, one above the other. In the deep
est layer, the so-called mucous layer
of Malpighi." ia found the coloring
matter to which che skin owes its hue,
and which is known as pigment" The
pigment exists in all races in the form
OF brown granulations, mingled with
the cells of the mucous layer" The
only difference i'm this regard between
negro and white man is that in the
negro these granulations are more
numerous and larger. IL is therefore
argued that il by any process what
ever these pigmentary infilitrathous.
or, MS they may be called, natural tat
too marks, could be destroyed or dis
organized, the skin would present in
the spots SO treated, even if il were the
skin OF n negro, the characteristics OF
an albino's skin, whose popularity is
that il lacks pigment altogether.
Hence IL is held as neither impossible
nor improbable that electricity may
have n permanent effect on pigment,
and the light-colored scars which are
almost invariably left behind after the
application Of certain kinds Of cleo
tricity to the skin constitute evidence
on the subject which cannot be ig-
lnored.

THIS CLOCK RUNS A YEAR.

its owner considerable money. The
clock proper is run with n wheel 60
inches in circumference. From the out
er surface Of the circumference are sus-
pended 1870 cups, each one-half inch in
diameter and third Of an inch deep.
Each OF 40 of these cups, which are sue
cessive, contain steel balls three-eighths
Of an inch In diameter. Every minute
and a half, as this wheel turns by the
weight OF these balls, one of them falls
out of its cup, rolls down an inclined
plane 20 inches long, when, by its own
weight, il reunites broken circuit of
electricity, andis again elevated by a lit
tie car travelling along a sleeper i'm
clined plane to the top of the wheel,
where IL falls into a cup which stands
vertical for n short time. After the car
discharges its cargo II returns TO its
original station from its own weight.
From the time one OF these balls is
dropped into cup until il is again
dropped into another cup, IL travels 80
inches. Thus the work done by all the
balls is equivalent 10 one ball travelling
over one mile a day. 400 miles in one
year, and during the lifetime of per-
son living three score years the distance
around the globe.
The electricity used Is generated In
an ordinary storage battery, which does
not require any attention for fully n
year. MIR. Ravenskilde has been asked
TO exhibit his clock AZ the Paris expo
sition, but has declined TO do so.
