That hackneyed American maiden
who said London was nice place If
you knew the language was not a bit
absurd. We speak English. but we
have built up our forms of English ex-
preston upon the English of a few
shires Of the old country as it was
| spoken between two. and three centu-
| ries ago, while they have been blending
and changing the speech Of all their
home peoples during the same period.
The result is that an American can
hardly utter a sentence In England
without calling attention to the differ
ence between his speech and that Of
the people about him.

dence in England. rushed up to con-

YIELD OF VARIOUS GRAINS RE-
PORTED AT THE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE STATION.

COLLEGE STATION.
Prof. Ten Eyck, of the agricultural
college, says: Wheat is yielding bet
ter than we expected but it is not extra
quality. Most of it will grade No. ?
anG some will go No. 8. The grains
are fairly plump but the wheat is off in
color and too soft and starchy.
In the trial of varieties, the blue
stem sorts gave Slightly larger yields
than the fife varieties, and a better
grade of wheat.
Fife varieties yielded from 24 to 27
bushels to the acre and one particular
kind yielded nearly 80 bushels. The
blue stem varieties yielded from % to
so 1-2 bushels to the acre. Aronetka
wheat, one of the maccaroni sorts, gave
the largest yield recorded, i. e., "a
bushels per acre.
The trial of varieties was made on
land which grew corn in 1900 and the
wheat was disced in without plowing.
Several varieties of barley were
threshed, yielding from 40 to II bush
els to the acre. The average crop
seems to be about 10 bushels to the
acre. GJ .s.-.
Spet made a very large yield of $500
pounds to the acre, or about 80 bush
els in round numbers, figuring 80
pounds to the bushel.

NO TEACHERS PERMITS.

Attorney General Martin gave
an opinion to Miss Harper, sup
erintendent of schools in Wash
ington county, from which we
take the following, which will be
of interest to the county super
intendents and teachers of the
state
"Under the law of this state
county superintendent have no
authority to issue apermit to any
person to teach in the public
schools of the state, and no
teacher is entitled to pay, from
the public school funds, for
teaching in any public school of
this state, unless such teacher
was a holder of certificate,
regularly issued as provided by
law, and valid during the time
such school was taught, except
when teachers certificate ex-
pires, bG its own limitation with
in six weeks of the end of the
term, for which such teacher has
been engaged, the term may be
finished.
Teachers might as we'll I'M
derstand that if they are going
to teach in the public schools,
and be paid from the public fund
they must secure certificates in
in the manner provided by law,
emitting them to teach. County
superintendent have no author
ity. in any manner, to authorize
a person to teach in the public
schools unless such person holds
a certificate procuredin the man
ner provided by law, and except
in the case above stated, when
the certificate expires during the
last six weeks Of the term.
County superintendent should
refuse to sign the requisition for
a teachers pay who has taught
without being the holder of a
certificate regularly issued"

a YOUNG GIANT.

Though mere youth of 20,
Edward Baupre, a French Can
adian, is a giant. He stands
feet 81 inches high, not measur-
ing his shoes or hat.
Mr.. Baupre weighs 357 pounds,
though he has no surplus flesh.
He is simply husky lad, who
has not yet got his growth.
Baupre is an amiable giant, and
talks interestingly about himself,
both in French and English. He
was born January 8, 1881, Just
over the Montana border from
Canada. His parents home is
Montreal. Neither his father
nor mother is large; his father S
height being 5 feet 8 inches, and
his mothers 5 feet 4 inches. He
has young brother who prom
ises to be large like himself, as
he stands 5 feet z inches, though
only 8 years old.
Baupre has very large hands
and feet. He wears number 81
shoes, 81 hat, and 81 collar.
His hands are II inches long and
his feet II inches.
Mr.. Baupre is in excellent
health and eats five or six square
meals a day. He can get along
with four meals day, but feels
better with six. He eats about
as much at each meal as an or
binary man. He sleeps we'll,
feels first rate, and is strong. He
experiences no difficulty in lifting
a 1000 pound horse under one
arm, as child would take up a
kitten, and he can lift as many
men at once as he can get good
hold on. He is fond of outdoor
sport and good horseman, hav-
ing been "a cowboy until IL years
of age.
Mr.. Baupre is single, and is
looking for bride. Any likely
girl standing upward of z feet
would do we'll to communicate
with him. He means business,
as he intends to go to France as
soon as he secures the promise
of some fair one to enter for the
100000 prize left recently in the
will of French nobleman to the
finest pair of giants married in
France each year.
