Lines of men were heaving at the rails by

blazing meteor would not have astonished
the enemy more than the sight of our loco

their own work. They had no picket out
in our direction, for this was their rear.
In an instant number of troopers rushed
for their horses and came galloping down
upon us. They were but two or three
hundred yards away.

us. We lay down flat and let the loco

bothered with so many candidates.
The young people of this place have all
gone ''courting" but two, oneiof them Is a
merchant and Miss Mary is preparing to
study music.
Brother West preached an excellent SER
mon at Springville on last Thursday night,
saved one soul. The community seem to
have a great desire that the "Dear
Brother" will this this time prove faithful
to the end.
Brother White expects to begin meet
ing at our place next Wednesday night.
Mr.. C. A. Wagner has gotten to be
president of the Greenbrier Lumber Com

Mr.. Giles French passed narrow escape
ON last Friday. He was hauling hay and

killed him certain and sure.

CHILD GROWTH.

Mako the Education Accord with 1t.
Not oppose It.
Growth focuses for time upon one
set OF organs or fun9tions, then upon
another, until the whole body is devel-
oped; but all parts of the body do not
grow at one and the same time. The
body grows first in length, and then in
girth, in breadth and depth of chest,
in breadth and height of forehead. in
breadth and length of face. To make
a special application of this we'll
known fact of periodicity in physical
growth, let us observe the develop
ment of the muscles of the arm. The
muscles of the upper arm-those con-
cerned in the functionirg of the shoul-
der joint-are ripe and ready t0r train
ing at least a year and one-half before
the muscles of the fingers. The mus
cles of the shoulder mature for train
ing six months before the muscles OF
the elbow, and these in turn five to
eight months before the muscles OF the
wrist, which are ripe and ready for
training from three to six months be-
fore the muscles of the fingers. When
we insist that a child shall begin to
write by means of the finger muscles
only with a small pencil in narrow
spaces on ruled paper or slate we run
directly counter to the principles OF
growth and development that nature
has SO plainly written in his constitu-
ton. Must not education. to be edu-
cation at all, be in accord with these
H., To
them? The child of years, during
the first days OF his school l.fe, chooses
to make large, whole-asm movements
rather than the minute movements OF
the finger muscles. At first he requires
almost an acre of blackboard space
in which to write few sentences. we
must train the large shoulder muscles
before attempting to burden the ten
der undeveloped finger muscles,
which are really injured by such too
early strain and involved activity
Thus we find in our best regulated kin
dergartens of today none of the finer
work for the younger children. The
young child is no longer required to
take up the bead-stringing and PIN
pricking exercises-at least not until
his eyes and his finger muscles are ripe
and ready for such training. In some
OF the most modern kindersartens the
occupations and gifts are concerned
with larger objects instead of those
formerly used, which were of the small
Ter, more orthodox size-larger blocks.
larger pencils, larger needles. larger
beads and coarse string instead of tine
thread.-Forum

But He Found Better One In Ms
Guide. GARNER.
"After Big Game with Packs" is the
title of paper by Capt. James Cooper
Ayres, U. S. A, in the Century" The
hunting expedition was made in 1888,
and Gen. Brooke took part in it.
Our hunter and guide par excellence
was Baptiste GARNER, or Little Bat"
as he was generally called. He was
five feet six inches tall; his frame was
well knit; every muscle was developed;
his lungs were as sound as an ante
lope's; his eye had the power of a
microscope; and a rifle had been his
plaything since childhood. His father
was French, and his mother Indian.
and he inherited the energy. bravery
and endurance of the old Canadian voy-
ageurs. with the remarkable observation
and instructive knowledge of topos-
raphy and of the habits of animals
of the aborigines of the plains. His
mission in life seemed to be to kill.
and probably his aggregate bag would
surpass that of any other hunter in
this country. He kept record only

Webb Hayes. son of the late eX-presi-
dent. who was one of our party, called
him greatest hunter in the world. !"
His wonderful powers of trailing game
were our admiration. He would ride
along on his pony, and occasionally
made such remarks as 1.-TWO mountain
sheep crossed there yesterday" or "A
blacktail deer and fawn passed along
here this morning." and We would look
in vain for a sign. He would trail a
deer or an elk at trot, and presently
remark, Hes over in those bushes, I"
and sure enough there he would be. He
had the true Indian taciturnity about
his success as q hunter. Mr.. Collins
of Omaha likes to tell the story of
one of Bats elk hunts. He was on a
hunt with Gen. Crook some years ago.
and one afternoon strolled off alone
and on foot. When he returned at
dark, Mr.. Collins said. We'll. Bat, did
you see anything?" Saw thirteen

and Re-equipping the Il. = o. X. r.
The receivership of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, which has Just come
to a close, was remarkable in many
ways. Messrs. Cowen and Murray did
not follow precedent, but went ahead
and placed the property in first-class
shape, instead of attempting to main
tain it in the condition that they found
1t. OF course the receivers were up
held by majority of the security hold
ers and the court, but the Baltimore
and Ohio receivership marked an epoch
In such affairs that will be historical.
The vast sums expended were put out
In '96 and '97. when trade was at low
ebb and money scarce. During their
administration the receivers purchased
1880 box cars, 6,751 wooden gondola
cars, 5000 pressed steel cars, $40 mis-
cellaneous freight cars. postal, express
and dining car equipment, at Il total
cost OF SIT 100000. The PIG locomotives
cost nearly two and one-half millions.
The steel rail purchased amounted to
123,010 tons, costing $2,142,l52, and
there were bought over 100000 cross
ties, costing S1,200,0O0, and 100000
cubic yards of ballast amounting to
S525, 900. The new steel bridges aggre-
gate In value $750,00O, and fully as
much more was spent In improving the
several terminals, erecting new build
ings. reducing grades and changing the
alignment. The maintenance of way
payrolls, or the amount paid directly
to men employed in making improve
ments on the tracks, ETC., in three
years was nearly twelve millions of
dollars. The total amounts to about
l $35 100000. of which about $15,000.0 900
were secured by the issuance of receiv-
ers' certificates and the balance
through car trusts, earnings from the
property and from the reorganization
managers. Most of the purchases OF
equipment and rail were made when
material was low in price and manu-
featuring concerns were in great need
OF orders to keep their plants In op-
Grafton. Steel rails are worth now from
IS to 50 a ton more than when the re-
ceivers made their purchases, and To-
comotives have advanced from 1000
to 100000 in price. The equipment
alone, If purchased today, would cos:
$4,000, 900 more and the other improve
ments 1000. 900 more President Cow
'en is authority for the statement that
the new company intends spending
.$10.0O0O0O more in improvements In
the next year or two.

Take. In Germany,

As a rule the people of the German en-
pire are taxed rather heavily. There are
taxes of every description. and 1t is diff
ficult to escape. however small mans
income may be. Among the many taxes
those levied by the municipalities are
often the most burdensome, because they
have to be paid even by the poorer class
es OF the population. There was a mild
sensation the other day when the little
town OF Gausbnch. district of Rastatt,
Baden. published its annual financial
statement for the year 1898 The town s
citizens have to pay no municipal taxes.
Gausbach is not only out Of debt. but is in
position to pay bonus of Sl3S5 10 every
male citizen and to every widow in town.
Besides this. every gets his fuel free
from the vast forests belonging to the
town. l have investigated the matter
and found that the town has been in this
splendid financial condition for the last
twenty or thirty years: has asked no
municipal taxes; has paid the annual per
capita bonus, and has given each citizen
his winters supply of fuel. There are Il
good many people in Germany who would
