A couple Of young ladies we're
driving about town the other day,
when they took notion that their
horse wanted drink. They drove
up TO a watering trough but forgot
TO uncheck the horse. After try
ing every way they could think Of
to get the horses head down to
the trough they each grabbed hold
of hind wheel of the buggy and
lifted them up as high they could,
thinking that would lower the
horses head.-Blackwell Spoon.

Saturday astonished and delighted the | freshman class, of which she is vce-presi- ident, by making a short address. It was
 at class luncheon in Fafy Hall, says the
 New York Herald, and Helen, who has re- gently became able to make sounds, which can be understood by those familiar with
 her, responded when called upon by the chairman.
 She spoke only a few words in low un- modulated voice. which did not lack in strength and was even musical. Up to
 this point sine has mastered but compara-
 lively few words, but Miss Sullivan, her
 constant companion and guardian, can now
 understand her quite readily, as can others
 who have become accustomed to her
 Miss Keller, who is now nineteen years
 old, shows a steady improvement in her
 new and wonderful accomplishment. Even those who know her and her remarkable mental capacity express astonishment at the headway she is making Her first public utterance before her fellow students
 at Fay Hall was applauded rapturously Every day she has long conversations in in her own way with Miss Sullivan, who some time ago could understand her only from the movements of the lips Now she takes up words and sentences and repeats them until she improves in tone and modu-
 lation:-
 A Cambridge physician, who happened to
 pass Miss Keller and Miss Sullivan as they were about to enter the ground of Rad ciffe College recently was astounded, &C.,
 cording to his own statement, to hear the young woman talking to her guardian The
 words at first seemed to be indistinct but a moment later te was able to catch sever- 1 al words of the one sided vocal conversa- tion, for Miss Sullivan can only communi- | cate with her ward by touch.
 He said: Ut was most remarkable Hav- ing personal knowledge of what had been | done and the difficulties to be surmounted, | to hear her talk seemed to me almost like | a miracle, and it seems as if one could
 predict almost anything for that girl" Miss Keller is an eager student at Rad l cliffe All of her time is taken up with 1 her studies which include French English l and history. Last week sine spent several days in New York and her friends say she l was delighted with the trip.

LANDSCAPE GARDENING AND ITS
 POSSIBILITIES IN BIRMINGHAM

both soil and in the climatic conditions. Roses and ehrysanthemums could be cut tivated to perfection, and every woman should be able to decorate her house from the blooms gathered in her own garden. Of the roses that could be successfully cultivated here, MT Huffman mentioned the American beauty, the Paul Nerron, the La France, the John Hopper, the Duchess de Brabant. For the best climbers the soil is well adapted to the red pink and white Ramblers, the Le Mark and the Baltimore Belle The Marchiel Neil would reach per- lection if planted with an eye to the south ern exposure
 Chrysanthemums have been grown to such perfection in Birmingham gardens that Mr Huffman declared that BirmingA ham could become a flower market. or the varieties that were most famous he mentioned the Queen, the Mrs H. Robin son, the Mary Monarch, the Minnie Wan amaker The yellow varieties include the Marion Henderson, the Major Bonnofon, the w. H. Lincoln, while the beautiful Mrs. Perrine is the exquisite pink variety.
 The George w. Childs is we'll adapted for outside culture.
 In speaking of the private lawns MT. Huffman said that both the Blue Grass and the Bermuda had been grown with great success in Birmingham and he com mented most favorably upon Several Of the beautiful gardens here.
 1He He"hSSS ol efei 'iiih6 iie'hS' e'eoA'3s any ideal landscape features, but there Is an ambition on the part of the owners of handsome residences to beautify the grounds in every possible way. Indeed. the most unpretentious residence may be made notably picturesque and envied by more wealthy owSrs if attention has been given to land d.@ape effects. There are heights of landscape garden to which evn the humblest may attain. It will reach, too, its greatest perfection in the years to come and 1t seems that the fact that city is new should be used to its advantage. There should be no misdirected effort in the planting of trees, shrubs or any plant that requires years of effort to be brought to perfection, and there should be no req son why any of the important features in landscape gardening should be overlooked

Prominent Alabama Women to
 Discuss Educational Measures

Th.-alub women of Alabama, like those in other States, are keenly alive to the edu- cational issues that depend upon proper legislation. There were no bills introduced before the General Assembly of Alabama, for which the thoughtful women of the State were more eager for their passage than the bills asking for the increased ap- populations for the various educational in- itutionS of Alabama
 In a regent article which appeared in these columns Mrs. E. F. Morrissette of Montgomery one of the best informed wo- men in the South upon its educational status, and whose work in the interest of education in her own State has long been recognized as a potent factor in it's ad vancement pointed out the similarity be- tween the educational measures urged by MT. Abercrombie and those advocated by the Educational Committee of the Alabama Federation, of which Mrs. w. F. Johnston, of Anniston, is the chairman. Following Mrs Morrissettes strong article the Age Herald prints today the second of a series of able articles to be contributed to it's columns by several of Alabama'S most dis tinguished club women.
 Mrs. Johnston, the chairman of the Edu- catonal Committee, discusses in the fol- lowing article the measures advocated by her committee and in commenting upon the generous appropriations made by the pres ent Legislature, draws the picture of the schools that are poorly equipped, and urges the importance of suitable school buildings in the rural districts, this being included in the bill prepared by her committee.
 Mrs Johnston discusses the subject as follows:
 The deep and almost universal interest in educational matters felt today by the citi- zens of Alabama is strikngly evinced by the action of the present Legislature.
 Appropriations amounting to half a mill lion of dollars have been made for various school purposes; the increase in the public tinue for a longer term and a good share goes to the normal schools, thereby in- creasing their usefulness.
 We are happy to note that the Normal | School for Girls at Livingston has at last l received tardy recognition, and help, how I ever inadequate We also note with pleas
 ure the generous appropriation to the Girls Industrial School at Montevallo They are all ours-the girls as we'll as the boys-and we want them to have equal ad- vantageS.
 But while we rejoice in the increased fa- ciities of these higher schools, and recog-
 nize in full their value in elevating the standard by sending out teachers better fitted for work, still we are fnrcibly re- minded of the sacred saying: "Whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance"
 When we think of the cheerless and com 1 fortless school-houses without even the most ordinary equipments, sometimes de- | void of light, except as it comes through | the open door, or window guiltless of glass, l such houses as many of our counties pro- vide for their children and which form the only scholastic halls, most of them will l ever tread, we are moved with indignation as well as pity.

In Society.

The week passed most charmingly and there were number of beautiful and bril- liant events the card party given by Mrs Charles G. Brown and Mrs. l.. J. Haley on Tuesday, and the reception on Wednes- day at which Mrs A. R. Dearborn enter tained being among the most notable events of the week. Among the mallerSfunctions was the dinner on Friday evening at which MT. and Mrs. Robert Jemison entertained in honor of MT. Edwin Warner, and on Friday evening MT. and Mrs. E. T. Talia- ferro entertained the members of the hunt ing party who returned recently from Mis- sissippi.
 The reception given Tuesday evening by the Ensemble Club brought together one of the most representative gatherings of the winter, and MT Washburns attractive studio where the recital took place is one of the most charming studios in Birming- ham. MT. Arthur Philips of Boston, who was the guest of the club. charmed the large audience, and after the resital the in formal reception that followed gave the guests an opportunity of meeting MT. Philips, who is personally very delightful. The social side of the Ensemble Club will be one of its most attractive features, and then too the recitals to be given during the season will at once popularize the club, since it's entertainments will be exclusive ly invitation affairs. Its innovation in not charging admission to its musicals have been a SuD1ect or IaVOTdDle COHliHelt'
 Of MT Philips voice naught but praise can be written. Analysed, 1t is of the pure baritone timbre, devoid of the basso qual- ity, rich in velvety smoothness, even in scale throughout broad range fraug1t with pathos in expression, modulated to an exquisite finish, making possible per- feet pianissimo, so beautifully brought out in his irresistible group of Norris songs; and withal directed by an exquisitely bal anced musical temperament and quick in telligence. His execution is characterized by a beautiful legato and briliinoy,. his re- fined attack so free from hardness and boldness revealing the earnest student. His method, of the Sbriglia school has in him a happy exponent, but he Is not a slave to it. his individuality impressing his hearers first of all. And when it is remem- bered that MT. Philips Is yet quite young, his future seems assured, full Of success and fame
 Among the guests at the club Tuesday were MT and Mrs. Solon Jacobs, MT. and Mrs Richard Johnston, MT. and Mrs. E. E. Williams, MT. and Mrs. H. H. Sinnege, MT and Mrs. Chalfoux, Mrs. Frederick Ferguson, MT Hill Ferguson, Mrs L. A Shipman, Mrs. Fannie DeBardeleben. MT. Frank Miller, MT. Cartwright, MT. J. F. Graham, Miss Gwyn of New York.

State can rise no higher than the level of it's average citizen." so with equal truth 1t may be asserted that the average can be increased only by raising the lower classes. An aristocracy of intellect is notsto be de- sired NAes
 In the bill prepared by the Committee on Education of the Alabama Federation, a measure is proposed by which suitable school buildings may be provided.
 It also insists upon the educational quail fication of the County Superintendent; two measures which are essential to the well fare of the common schools.
 This bill, although placed in the hands of a prominent friend to education several weeks ago, has not yet been introduced.
 By their efforts along this line the women of Alabama have taken no startling step, nor have they even transgressed any social convention; for if the mothers of our State have not a right to urge the welfare of their children then who has?"
