APING THE COUNTRY STORE.-The
old fashioned country store was, after
all, the original "department store" "
The residents of our cities have often
laughed when they visited the lead
ing store in a country village because
of the variety of articles offered for
sale by the local tradesman. To the
denizen of the city the selling Of drugs
and hardware, Of fannels and flour, of
pick.axes and peanuts, by the same
dealer and in the same establishment,
appeared to be most amusing. But
now it has come to pass that the great
department stores of our cities sell
everything that the country store sells,
and much more beside. For in the
most modern of these great establish
ments one can not only furnish his
house from top to bottom, kitchen and
wine cellar included, but he can also
have a tooth pulled, engage SER
want, send a telegram, have photo
graph taken, visit picture gallery
and even menagerie. And so the
much-laughed-at countryman has
taught the city merchants lesson from
which the latter is deriving handsome
profts.-Lesslie's weekly.

AS it approached the shore Allie signed

ashore and handed me a large packet
and letter, which I Immediately CON-

once. Do you mind so very muoh?"
"Not at ALL" be answered promptly.
Then, as if he thought he might turn it
to account, be continued, "You know
that my only ambition is to serve you. !"
Disregarding this polite speech, which
was uttered with leer that made my
fingers itch to be alongside his head,
Allie led the way up the plank and on
board the launch again. We pushed Off
from the shore and began to steam
ahead. Then Allie nodded to me, and I
tapped the engineer on the shoulder and
signifled that he should stop. He looked
surprised. but obeyed. Ebbington, how
ever, did not like this interference on
my part and sprang to his feet.
"Why did you tell that man to stop?"
be cried angrily. "I'll trouble you to re-
member that I'm"-
"And I'll just trouble you to sit down
where you are and hold your tongue,
MIR. Ebbington," said Allie, dropping
her American accent altogether and
drawing a revolver from beneath her
cloak. 1.-THE game is over as far as you
are concerned, SO you may as we'll sub

of the Union. No fact is more easily
demonstrated than this by figures.
This statement has been sounded in
our ears 80 many times that we accept
it as matter of course. We forget,
however, that to achieve industrial
supremacy two factors are necessary ;
first, national resources second, minds
trained TO technical lines TO develop
the natural resources. Now the south
is woefully deficient in technically
trained men. Indeed there are some
who think that the southern mind has
no aptitude or capacity for mechanical,
scientific or technical pursuits. This
| is the fault of our weak, one-sided,
defective system of education. Scien-
tiic training has been minimized in
our schools. Shall we develop our
marvellous resources, or shall we give
them to the thrifty genius of educated
foreigners ? The industrial colleges
must answer the question.
So far as our textile department at
Clemson College is concerned, the full
course covers four years, though a
graduate of a college which does
equivalent work may finish in one
year. In this four years course gene
raj culture and special training are
happily combined. Specializing has
been run to extreme, and there is sure
to be reaction. A scholar does not
know bis subject till be knows the CO.
related branches. The educated spec
ialist has telescope view of all things
and microscopic view of one thing.
A good foundation in the textile course
is laid in mechanics, drawing, mathe.
MATES and chemistry, with the usual
English studies, and during the last
two years of the work special appli-
cation of these studies is made to tex
tile work. Theoretical instruction re-
ceives the same number of hours as
practical instruction.
The one teaches the way, the other
the how. The one trains the mind to
think, the other the hand to execute.
The process is subjective and objec-
tive.
We realize fully that we have en-
barked in a work that has but few
precedents and few traditions but the
sympathetic recognition received from
many quarters encourages US in the
belief that should we fail it will be in
a glorious cause.

He said no more, but sat between u.s.,
trembling like the arrant coward he
was. Allie went forward to the engineer
and said something in Malay. Then,
after moments conversation with one
of the crew, she returned aft took the
tiller and steered for the open sea. The
little craft famed and fused on her way
for an hour or so, tossing the foam of
either bow and covering the distance in
first rate style.
Suddenly the lookout posted forrard

ahead of US a green light. 1t was OBJ
scured and revealed three times. This,
knew, was the yachts signal, and in
less than a quarter Of an hour we were
alongside, had hitched on and were
safely aboard. The launch's crew was
then suitably rewarded and sent back
to Singapore.
AS we reached the deck Ebbington
must have read the yachts name on a
life buoy and realized into whose hands
be had fallen. For moment he stood
rooted to the spot; then he staggered a
pace forward, clutched at stay, and,
missing it, fell upon the deck in dead
faint. AS stopped to see what was the
matter with him felt the tremor of the
screw. Our errand was accomplished.
Singapore was a thing of the past. We
were on our way back to the island once
more.

CAUSE OF YAwNING.-Yawning is
commonly caused by temporary def
cheney of the air supplying the lungs.
When the body is weary with hard and
continuous work or mental study, las.
situde from the effects of close, heavy
air or intense heat, or perhaps from
the peculiar state of the health, the
respiratory process is sometimes invol-
UNFAIRLY stayed for few moments. TO
compensate for this stoppage of breath
ing nature steps in to the rescue and
sets up spasmodic action in the mus
cles of the mouth, throat and chest,
which produces a deep inspiration
which takes the form of a yawn.

DEWEY THOUGHT IT WAS DEFEAT.

That Story Of the Withdrawal Of the
American Fleet For Breakfast.
The Augusta Herald.
One of the picturesque incidents of
the battle of Manila bay has been
rudely destroyed. We were told,
when the news of that great victory
was flashed to the world, that after
pounding the enemy's vessels for an
hour or so, Admiral Dewey withdrew
in order to give his men an opportu-
nifty to eat breakfast. This was more
than picturesque. 1t was positively
Gargantuan in its broad humor, and
many we're the quips this self-satisfed
republic INDUCED at the expense of
an enemy 80 weak that he could be
whipped in leisurely instalments. 1t
was to be one of the high lights in
that picture of blood and slaughter.
But now comes the iconoclast. He
has Clipped the nose off the idol with
his little Ratchet of truth. In the
February number of Harper's Maya
zine Mr.. Joseph L. Stickney, the cor
respondent who was on the bridge
with Dewey throughout the battle, at
last lets out secret which has hith-
erto been well guarded, and which, at
the time the breakfast story was given
out, there was every reason to guard.
His statement is nothing less than that
at the time the American feet drew
off Dewey thought he was whipped.
Five times his feet had circled around
the bay, belching hot shot at the enemy,
but the American commander could
see no material injury that had been
inflicted on the Spaniards. All the
shot seemed to fall either too low or
too high. There was gloom on the
bridge "thicker than a London fog,"
as Mr.. Stickney says, and the COM
mander really hauled out into the open
bay to take stock of his ammunition
and devise new plan of attack. The
gun captains felt more confident of
victory when the correspondent
for it was Mr.. Stickney, it seems, who
| is responsible for the breakfast story
said to one of the captains that Dewey
had merely withdrawn to give the boys
breakfast. The confident tar appealed
to Captain Lamberton, "For Gods
sake, captain, don't let us stop now.
To hell with breakfast"
"When told the commodore that /
intended to attribute our withdrawal
to the need for breakfast" continues
Mr.. Stickney, she intimated that it
was not a matter of much importance
what reason I gave, so long as I did
not give the true one. And 80 the
breakfast episode went to the world as
plausible excuse for what seemed
like an extraordinary strategic manoeu-
ver-one which had been the subject
of more comment than almost any
other event during the battle. Many
people have said to me that it would be
pity to spoil so good story, but as
the commodore will be sure TO let the
cat out Of the bag some day, 1 may as
we'll let her have her freedom now."
So much for the puncturing of the
pretty little story. The world, which
has all along regarded Dewey's with
drawal as the most remarkable manoeu-
yer in the history of naval tactics, now
understands the situation and learns
that in the midst of victory the victor
thonpht il was defeat.

by piecing out salaries in several posi- tions Messrs. Brodrick and Fewel. ling are without doubt two eminently respectable and capable gentlemen, ornaments to the various positions they fill-but the real difficulty Is that the exigencies of the public ser vice are liable to stretch the Orna- mentation so far that all utility and usefulness will be lost. The positions to which they have been appointed were created for the service of the people, not for the glorhcatiun and profit of Messrs. Brodrick and Flew cling.
 Grave doubts have been suggested as Co the legality of their holding all these positions at one and the same time. But whether legal or illegal the practice is clearly against public policy, add a different system should be adopted.
 In minor degree tue same objec- tions hold to Justice Duffy's holding at one and the same time offices in the county government, the precinct gov ernmenL and the town government. There is respectable revenue enough in these offices for more than official, the public are entitled to the services of more than one man, in those posi- tions, and the respective boards who have been so lavish toward the three gentlemen named should take into consideration these facts and change the system. There are other goud men in the town and county who can serve the public as faithfully aud well as either Jf these. It is not asking too much To insist that s0me of u ose others shall be given chance at the public crih.

 Last week a citizen of Nogalss sent THE eAsIs little communication which was published, calling atten- tion to practice which has grown up in Nogales of conferrlng several o.- tices upon single individual He in- stanced Mir. T. F. Brodrick. who is not only sheriff of Santa Cruz county, but marshal of the town of NOgales and constable in the precinct Of No gales, beside holding several other minor offices in the town government. He called attention to the fact also that the newly appointed county as- sessor holds not only that post, but is also justice of the peace and town clerk-the latter post carrying several ex-Gfiicio positions and their duties.
 Since the last issue of THE OASIS several citizens have personally visit. ed It's office and asked this Journal to point out that this practice of confer ring upon enc individual several of- tices--iDcluding county, town and precicnt in their jurisdiction lis an abuse, which, while possibly it may not he Illegal and prohibited, is never theless privation of adequate police protection to which the people are en- titled and for which they pay taxes. As D. tied out Sheriff Brodrick is also town marshal and constable uf the precinct. As sheriff there will he frequent ncc jsions when he will be called out town on county busi- ness. Then the police protection of the town aud precinct would he thrown upon the other constable, MT. Flewelling, whu is also denuty sheriff and taller and night watch man for the town But Mir.
