Charming Ct rie of Alabama
 VIII Go to Sans Souci

When Mrs. William Perry, formerly Miss Bankhead of Alabama, announced the plans for a model school in her beautiful home near Greenville. S C., the announce ment was received with great interest, and the fact that ten Of the twenty-five places to which the school is limited were taken before the catalogues were out is substantial proof of the favor with which this new institution was endeared. The applications for the remaining vacancies have been numerous, but owing to the fact that the patronage is carefully selected by Mrs Perry there are still several vacan- cies. Among the girls who are going to Sane Souci from Alabama, are Miss Flora Orr and Miss Lizzie Johnston of Birming- ham, Miss Elizabeth Richardson Of Hunts vile, whose father succeeds General Wheeler in Congress- and Miss Rebecca Buyke of Wetumka. Among other South- ern girls who will be at Sans Souci are Miss Bessie Mccullough and Miss Fran cis Mccullough, Miss Emily Werner and Miss Lettie Gains, Miss Bertha Souther- land, Miss Simmons of South Carolina; Miss Snider of Mississippi; Miss Byrd of Florida; Miss Berry of New Orleans: Miss Wilcox of Savannah, and girls from oth- Southern States. The unique plans Of Sans Souci are an ideal combination of the practical and domestic services with all the departments of education in text books and the elegant accomplishments. Mrs. Perry will herself instruct the girls in cooking and housekeeping. Mrs. Curtis of Columbus Miss, a fashionable modiste, has been placed at the head of the dress making and sewing department.
 This age of untrainsd domestic service makes it encumbent for girls to have knowledge of the domestic accomplish ments, and Mrs. Perry will fill long felt want by this department at Sans Souci. The arrangement that Mrs. C. w. Spruill would be the principal of Sans Souci gave additional confidence to those patrons who were acquainted with her wonderful sue cess.
 Taking into consideration the mountain scenery, the climate, the fine corps of teachers and the famous housekeeping of Mrs Perry, it is not surprising that Sans Souci is an assured success. It is under stood that number of the girls will take with them their saddle horses, as horse back riding is included in the various ac- complishments taught at Sans Souci.

''Do you see that man with the dark
mustacheT said Sherlock Holmes, Jr.
Eyes. Do you know him?"
81 never saw him before. He is mar
ried. He ought to live in fat, but
doesn't. His wife is afraid of the
hired girl, and he is left handed"
"Mr. Holmes, you are an everlasting
marvel. How can you tell that about a
man you don't know and whom you
never saw beforeT"
Look at the second knuckle on his
left hand. You see, it is badly skinned.
Also there is a black mark on his left
cuff Now let US see what we must
make Of this. When left handed man
pokes up the furnace fire, how does he
do it7 By putting his left hand for
ward, of course. Thus it happened
that it was his left hand which scraped
against the furnace door. The black
ened cuff shows that 1t was furnace
door. Having this foundation to work
upon, the rest is easy. If he lived in a
fat, he would have no furnace to look
after, and if his wife were not afraid
of the hired girl they would make the
latter do the poking up. 1t is all very
simple If ones perceptive faculties are
properly trained. He can't really af-
ford to live in a house, because if he
could he would have man to look aft
er the furnace. Therefore he ought to
live in a fiat"
"But hold on. How do you know the
man is married? He can't be over 30
at the most. Why may it not be posi-
BILE that he lives at home with his Wild
owed motherT
''Sly dear sir" said Sherlock Holmes,
Jr., 81 am surprised at your lack Of
perspicacity. If he lived at home with
his widowed mother, he would permit
her to tend to the furnace herself. -

was in the chair, chose to announce the
performance. and Mr.. Best sat still in
his place, taking no notice whatever Of
the observation. The mayor repeated
the words in a louder tone of voice,
and still the great musician made no

Best merely looked up with surprised
and injured air. "Confound the or

The message was duly conveyed to
the mayor, and then the mayor rose

now very kindly obIige us with a selec-

yet they are alive and thriving. Our
conception of prosperity in new cities

I paid my visit to the dressmaker,
and, receiving my frock, light sum-

box beneath the buggy seat and drove

escape the heated part of the day, CIV

see the sights and return at o'clock.
He turned up punctually, with the
grin still on his face, and In due time
we reached Old Harbor once more.

Confucius calls himself q transmitter
only, not maker, believing In and
loving the ancients. When speaking
of himself, he says: "At Is had my
mind bent on learning; at 30 stood
firm; at 40 had no doubts; at so
knew the DEGREES of heaven; at 60 my
ear was an obedient organ for the re-
ception of truth; at 10 could follow
what my heart desired without trans
crossing what was right"

the empire there was not one who had
adopted his principles. not one who
what is, In fact, confirmed from other
sources-that he himself was not an
active reformer, so that while alive he
scarcely produced a ripple on the
smooth and silent surface of the reli-
gious thought of his own country. He
was, no doubt, in advance of his con-
temporaries, but he took his stand
chiefly on certain verities that had
come down to him from ancient times,
and his faith In these verities and in
their coming revival has certainly not
been belied by what happened after
bis death.
His grandson already speaks of him

lily physician attended to all the Ills of

profession were wholly unknown. The
country doctor was a surgeon as well
as a physician He was almost always
clever and usually had remedies of his
own invention for common ailments. A
large number of the successful patent
medicines now before the public are
prescriptions of the old time country
physician. l could name dozen such.
''Old DR.. Hill. who was the leader In

the country by an urgent message one
night. He wasn't advised what the

most unbearable pain. Not a surgical
instrument did the doctor have with
him, and his Office was seven miles
away. Did he send back for his In

that tooth with an ordinary hammer
