the grading of the examination papers
of those who We're examined for di-
ploma from the country schools. Sixty
four took the examination and only
seventeen failed. This is an exceeding
good percentage. Many who wrote
were young and were persuaded by
their teachers to write, merely to try
their strength, not expecting to pass.
We are glad to note so large number
as writing as we know that it has done
those good who wrote and that it gives
encouragement for the best work pos
sible in our rural schools. There is
but little reason that the country

on the part of the teacher to do hel

audubon, IOtCN

Preparations are being made by the
G. A. r. post and Relief Corps AID
citizens to again befittingly observe
Memorial Day. This has become a
day reverenced IN our country for the
memories of heroes dead, for the last
war brings anew the open wound of
loyalty to the principles of our great
commonwealth. This year as flowers
and tears are commingled over the
sodded graves of our dead, the yet I'M
sodded mounds will receive their tok-
en- too. AS the blue and gray join IN
many a field to honor their dead, the
lisping child, the growing youth, the
young manhood and womanhood of
our country will catch again the liv-
ing spark OF patriotism and enshrlne
it in loyal hearts to guard and protect
it through coming years. 1t is time
when love of country, bought by the
blood of our forefathers, and built up
on the affairs of early sacrifice, runs
high. The travail of a nation, strug-
Cling from the throes of a mighty
strife, pleads its own cause to the
world, so that when disruption be
comes imminent, thousands will
rally around cold Glory" to uphold
her in her time of need.
So let us now gather together, not
with levity and mirth, but with the
consciousness of thousands of shadows
standing ever near to gaze upon us,
their posterity. May the memory OF
the great souled and martyred Lincoln
wiring from us the homage of reverence
for all who helped him strike the
shackles from three millions of souls
and ses them singing with no lash tc
fear, and at the same time brought a
staggering, falling republic out of the
mist of sure destruction and forged i,
into one mighty power that bears the
respect of all the nations of the earth
We hope to give the completed pro
gram next week.

Prehistoric Animals Dug Up Near the

/ have just had the opportunity Of
reading the hitherto unpublished ac-
count Of the discoveries made by Prof.
w. Amalzeki on the banks of the
Dwina last year; they will probably
make a great stir in the scientific
world when published, says Sc. Pc
tersburg correspondent of the London
Mail. by permission of the czar who
makes an annual grant Of 10000 rubles
for this purpose, Prof. Amalizeki, Of
the University Of Warsaw, was sent
last year TO conduct some excavations
on the banks Of the Dwina in northern
Russia These river banks consist Of
porous sandstone, and the eXcavator
was soon rewarded for his eXertions
by finding a fossilized plesiosaurus in
a complete state Of preservation, TWEEN
ty-nine feet long. As a temporary pro-
lection for this treasure a pit was dug
SO feet long, 10 feet broad, and 30 feet
deep. In the digging Of the pit a num-
conifers were found, as well as another
mine OF pleslosauri, which were dis
covered lying one on top of another in
layers. One of them lay on its back
this one had a well preserved set Of
teeth. The backs Of these pieslosauri
were covered partly with plates OF
horn, partly with horny eXcruscences.
Judging from their teeth. these am
phibious animals, whose species has
not yet been established. were beasts
Of prey. They show a certain amount
Of relationship to the dinosauri but
are sundered from them by several dis
tinguishing peculiarities The profess
sor's finds were Immediately examined
and classified in st. Petersburg. 1t is
interesting to read Of the difficulties
with which he had to contend while
making these excavations. The peas
ants Of the neighboring villages at first
took him for a gold digger, because he
had Cossacks stationed all night long
round his excavations. As time went
on they became certain that he was the
living Antichrist and refused to give
him and his companions food and shell
ter. until a Russian priest living iD the
neighborhood had convinced them OF
the folly of the idea and had blessed
The professor and his men. Finally
the peasants satisfied themselves that
the learned man was the cause Of an
outbreak Of rinderpcst in the surround
ing villages, and went bent or stoning
him and it was Only the presence Of
mind Of his Cossack guards that saved
h,m from q terrible death. The pro-
cess OF excayatlng the banks OF the
river will be continued this year.
