TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The Holly Teachers Association
attracted one Of the largest and most
appreciatiye audiences that has ever
assembled in the school hall. The
program held no disappointment for
anyone, Both papers and discussions
were of the kind that make the Holly
association second TO none in the
county.
The music furnished by the quar-
tette and the primary and grammar
school children WAS much appreciated
and was Il pleasing feature OF the as
Suciatipn The recitation by Nellie
Garrison was very appropriate and
was very nicely given.
The first topic. Teaching Temper
ance,' was discussed by Miss Ethel
Hoffman. Temperance teaching is
difficult because liquor is in too CON-
mon use.as medicine, and because 1t
is so difficult to rid the child Of bad
example on the part Of parents or
others.
Miss Hoffman made strong plea
for good thoro temperance teaching
IN the schools.
The paper, school Discipline
read by A. f. Glase, was strong and
pertinent presentation OF one OF the
most important factors OF q teachers
work Mr.. Glase gave many practical
Illustrations Of school methods that
were well worth the attention Of
every teacher in the hall.
A novel idea suggested by Mr.. Rose
brough was the whispering recess, al
so the reading table. They proved
very satisfactory in his own school
and will be Of value wherever tined.
Mr.. Hammond considered Mr..
Glasses paper standard work, and
he differed from the paper just enough
10 make his discussion interesting.
Mrs Hammer presented Que Of the
best discussions Of the alternoHL The
teacher must have and show fcal
affection for the child. She must do
heart to heart work. Obedience won
by tact is better than obedience en-
forced by punishment. Il
Miss Bilingslea's paper, "slusic In
the / rimary ROOM was most ex-
cellent one. The many practical
points in her paper were well ilustra-
ted bY the primary school children at
its close.
Mr. Hammond gave valuable les
son on the different WAYS OF classify
ing pupils by grade. There should be
a course of study and 1t should be fol-
lowed.
Mr. Frank McGrath made an earn
est plea for better classification to
Essen the number Of classes and in
crease the efficiency of the teacher.
Mr. Rssebrough was in favor Of
combining classes where it was possi-
bic to do so without interfering with
the alignment of the grades.
Mr.. Glase was not In favor Of keep
ing back bright pupils in order to pre-
serve an arbitrary classification.
The paper read by Miss Carrie
Hopkins, Character Building In
school" received the closest atten-
tioU thruout and was well worthy the
many favorable comments made upon
il, 1t was discussed by Miss Minnie
Billing>iea. Mrs. Hoffman and Mrs.
French.
The Association adjourned TO meet
in January

Stories Not in the Records.


An old soldier of Detroit has couple
of stories of the late war that will not
be preserved in the archives of accept
cd history.
"In the pioneer brigade, to which
belonged" relates this veteran. there
was Wisconsin man vino seemed TO

After Bragg had left Tullahoma on his
way to some safer locality, We pushed
ON 10 Elk River TO repair 4 bridge The
Wisconsin man, whom l remember as
Hank, went down the stream little
way to take n swim. and while he was
disporting himself in the water five of
Bragg's boys appeared on the bank,

suasion and dressed while laughingIy

been but four of them he would have
declined to recognize them rs supe-

the water.
While the prisoner was awaiting an
order to march, the five surprised him
by stacking their arms, notifying him
that they surrendered and asking him
to be taken into camp. Like hundreds
Of others in lower Tennessee during the
summer of 1868, they were tired of the

NIGHT IN A BUFFALO HIDE.

Queer imprisonment of a Hunter in
the Northwest.
A party Of scouts from the stations
on Bledsoe's Creek, in Sumner County,
was over in Wilson ON q tour Of obser-
vation for Indian signs, says the Port
land Oregonian. AS they prepared to
camp late one winter afternoon Capt.
Jennings, who was one of the number,
started out to kill buffalo from a herd
which was near by.
There was heavy sleet on the
ground, and he found it difficult to get
q good range on account Of the noise
of his feet on the cracking ice. but af!
ter following the game for several
miles he at last killed very large bull.
Fearing that the meat might be in
jured If left until the next morning, he
skinned the animal and took out the
viscera. By the time he was done night
had come, and he decided to remain
with his meat instead Of seeking camp
in the darkness. So. wrapping the huge
hide around him, flesh side out, he lay
down and slept very comfortably until
morning. On waking he found himself
tightly imprisoned In the hide, which
had frozen hard and now resisted all
his efforts to escape.
Hour after hour rolled by in agony to
the captain. He yelled at the top Of
his voice for help and strained and
kicked with all his might at the raw
hide inclOsure, but 1t proved stubborn
to the last degree. He doubtless swore
many n bitter oath, for he was Of too
irascible a temperament to submit
tamely. He expected his companions
to search for him, and they did, but
with great deal of caution, fearing
that he had been killed by the Indians.
His prolonged absence could be ac-
counted for in no other way. He gave
up all hope of extricating himself as
the hours wore away. but help which
he had not thought of was to save him
from death which would have been
mortifying. at the least. to
a man who had escaped Indian bullets
and swan icy rivers like beaver We
will let him relate the issue in his own
words: "Well, the sun came out In the
afternoon. and this softened the hide
on the top so 1 could get one arm out.
and when I got one arm out I worked
like pizen until got my body
through"

Digestive Powers or tho o,,-,oh.

The digestive powers Of the ostrich
have lOpg ago passed into a proverb;
the birds will swallow almost anything
that they can get into their beaks They
are amusingly greedy, and will gulp
down whole oranges more rapidly than
they can take them into their stOmachs,
SO that half n dozen may be seen pass
ing down their long necks at the same
time, each orange producing a queer
looking prOtuberance. When visitors
stand near the fence Of one Of the in
closure the birds will peck In most
persistent manner at any bright object,
such as the head of an umbrella or a
walking cane, watch chain, lOcket,
brooch or button. 1t does not surprise
us to be told by the attendant that in
digestion is the prevalent malady
among Ostriches. and usually is respon.
sible for their death. IL is said that an
attempt is sometimes made to relieve
their systems of an accumulation of In
digestible matter by administering half
a gallon of castor oil in one dose.-GOod

The Passion Flower was so called by
the first Spanish settlers of America be-
cause they imagined that they saw in
its flower a representation of Our
Lords passion. the filamentous proc
esses being taken to represent the
crown Of thOrns; the nall-shaped styles,
the nails Of the cross; the anthers, the
marks of the five wounds; the leaf, the
spear that pierced the Savior's side; the
tendrils, the cords or whips by which
He was scOurged; the column of the
Ovary. the upright of the cross; the
stamens. the hammers; the calyx, the
glory or halo; the white tint, purity;
the blue tint, heaven. The passion
flower is a native of the warm parts
of America, and its flowers are large
and beautiful.

Archibald Forbes.

The recently deceased Archibald
Forbes entrance upon the career of
war correspondent was, 1t is said, de-
cided by chance. His first step was to
enter a cigar shop at the bottom of
Ludgate hill, where he bought cigar,
and threw the names of the four or
five principal daily newspapers into
his hat before drawing lots to decide
which of them he should first ap-
proach. The name that he drew out
was that of the Daily News. Without
delay he sought out Mr.. now Sir j. r.
Robinson, whom he then met for the
first time, and was promptly engaged.
