Hard Questions.

State Superintenden of Schools
Stetson was visiting a school down in
Pembroke, when he got into the
pleasant mazss of nature studies, and
asked some interesting questions about
the little things of the world about us
"How many seed compartments are
there in an apple?'' he queried. No
one knew. "And yet," said the State
Superintendent, "all of you eat many
apples in the course of year, and see
the fruit every day, probably.
"You must learn to notice the little
things in nature. Now perhaps some
little boy who has driven the cows to
pasture every day this summer can tell
me on which jaw the COW has her
teeth?"
No answer. Rather was there blank
astonishment, at last pierced by one
little fellow volunteering the informa-
ton that "our COW has teeth on botf
jaws, cause she chaws hay all up ine.'
"If that is go, my boy" replied th'
head of the State schools. I'D advis'
you to sell that wonderful COW will
teeth on both AVS to some museum.
I'm afraid, children, that you haven
studied nature quite closely enough"

A Novel Way of Settling Law Suit
 in Vance's Court.

The business in the several courts Monday was interesting both as to the new way of settling law suit, adducing facts as evidence, and new points of law-to some lawyers.
 Some months ago there was re- plevin suit instituted against Per- que and Wilmington by Sam Ber- lin, the livery stable man. The case was in Judge Niveus court, When however, the day for the trial arriv- ed change of venue was applied for aud granted. The case was transferred as per agreement of parties interested therein to Vance's court.
 A month ago or more the day for trial again arrived, but in Vance's court this time. A con tinuance was asked and the same was grant ed. The second time the case came up in Vances court a on+inuance was asked by the other party to have the case set for trial on Sept. 9, 1899; this was aiso granted by Judge Vance.
 Monday the replevin suit was called. Both plaintiff and defend aut were present in person aceompa- nied by their lawyers. It was settled fact in the minds of not only the plaintiff apd defendant but the

OR AN UNDERGROUND PAS SAGEWAY SHOULD BE
 BUILT FROM
SECOND TO SIXTH AVENUE
Has Been the Cause of Many Peo- pie Leaving Their Summer
 Home to Rent Others.

Our attention has been called to the great inconvenience the peo- pie of the East End exp erience in going from East Second avenue to Sixth and from Sixth t0 Second.
 They desire to pass in a straight line instead of having to walk 10 blocks out of their way. The 9th avenue high school, where the chil- dren on Second attend can be reach. ed only by their going. in around about way, covering at least 15 or Is blocks. This can be averted, it seems. The impossibility to cross directly over to the school is due to the railroad tracks of the Cot. ton Belt, the fencing around the same from the Bayou down to the shops, and the cars that are always on the tracks If the Cotton Belt. Children will not endanger their lives hy crawling under these cars to reach the Sixth ave. school, hence the necessity of their going out of their way to the extent they do, which will work many hardshpis on them during the winter m months. not to speak of present weather.
 The children who attend this school are for the most part those of railroad men working at the Got ton Belt shops and on the road, and owing to the condition that now ex- ists great many of them have been compelled to lose time at their work in order tose"ure a house on Sixth avenue for the school term, thus causing them to break up their home which they have occupied during the summer months.
 This works hardships on the men as well AS the children. Some rem edy should be devised whereby they could live near the shops and their children attend school just the same IC's a dangerous thing for the chiI- dren to crawl under the cars to reach the school. but rhis they will have to do unless they come up 10 Missouri street or above the Bayou bridge tn crOss.
 The remedy we do not prescribe.

The lawyers agreed, as did the par ties to the suit. At all events, and to make a Hong suit" a short one, Perdue and Wilmington got the judgment. As predicted, Sam Ser lin entered an appeal at once, so the case goes to the circuit court on the
