The principal of Richie school has in
augurated something of the nature of a
new departure in the teaching OF his
tory. or rather supplementary to the
teaching OF United States history. Once
week. either the principal himself or
some competent person outside o: the
school. gives talk, taking some promi-
nent American as topic, tracing the
history OF our country during his or her
life and showing the effects Of that life
and showing the effects Of that life up
on the affairs OF our country. As pupils
are always more interested In biography
than they are in the dry details of his
tory by itself it is hoped to create an in
terest In the study that could not other
wise be done. Thus far the results have
been most satisfactory. The principal
has given two talks. one on Washington
and the other on Benjamin Franklin.
while yesterday afternoon Rev. S. P.
Crummitt gave talk on Abraham Lin
coin. which is TO be followed by talk
on Thomas Jefferson next Friday after
noon. by Rev. r. r. Bigger. These talks
will be followed by others as the per-
sons are secured to deliver them.

the young patriots marched down the

veterans, apparently unconscious of the

pr. Woods says: The drinking water ia a fruitful source of disease. I'm pure water should not be allowed within reach of fowls. It is no un- common sight on poultry farms, other- wise we'll kept, to find the water yes sels in a filthy condition. Putting clean water into foul receptacles IS labor wasted; yet we not infrequently see on poultry farms dirty wooden tubs or unclean metal vessels contain ing uninviting drinking water. On farm which l visited recently the fowls are supplied with running water in metal trough. Judging from the con- dition of the trough, and the accum- ulated filth and slime, it had not beer cleaned since the plant was built-seY- eral years; yet the proprietor was un- able to account for bowel troubles anc other ailments to which his fowls were subject. We cannot be too careful about the drinking water. It should be such as we would be willing to drink ourselves since it plays an im- portant part in the makeup of the fowl and of the egg. Metal water dishes, if kept clean. are all right; but glazed earthenware ones are better.

The TrekkinR Wagon.

The South African wagon is a long. heavy cart mounted on four wheels, as a rule, with sort of canvas tent over the back half. leaving the front clear to carry the miscellaneous furniture of its owner, drawn by sixteen, eighteen or twenty oxen, curiously fierce-looE- ing with their immense spread of horh. sometimes as much as eight feet from tip to tip and rarely less than six. but in reality as patient and hard working beasts as one could wish to find. Their mode of progression is certainly slow. but there is strangeness and a faa- cinatton about 1t which may draw men to 1t almost as the Alps draw their devotees. In front there marches the "voorloopsr," generally a small boy leading the two foremost oxen by a rein or rope passed through their nos- trils. The driver walks alongside with the long and terrible whip be usea SO unsparingly. or else sits on the front Of the wagon and gets of occasionally to lash up the whole team with unfaii- ing impartiality.

socIety of tsame rhlauA.-

Friedland boasts the most singular mutual protective society in the civil lzed world. In Assen recently a union was organized by seventeen game poachers. a comprehensive set of rules being adopted. None but a recognized game thief is eligible to membership. The convention decided that in the fu- ture the members of the union sball sell only to regular game dealers. and then only at current market prices. The dealers will be required to con tribute a certain amount of money each year to the unions treasury. The principal object of the union is to sup- port the families of such poaehers as may be arrested and sent to prison. A eaSt=inon resolution forbids all mem
 rom killing game in the closed
 fs9ns. the argument being that the s'ne laws must be enforced. The Ne.aerlands code provides a fine of 100 HorIns and term of Imprisonment for killing game out of season.
