sra.aueradinE In the Past.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries Venice set the fashion in all
matters of amusement and was n sort
of combination of our Monte Carlo and
Paris Throughout the eighteenth cen
fury the Venetians were seized with
perfect mania for masquerading and
gambling. Paris and London followed
suit, and the two most popular amuse-
ments, both public and private, were
masquerades and gambling saloons.
People not only wore their masks or
visors at balls. but in the Mall and the
parks and the theaters- At length
matters got TO such n pass that when
a police raid was made on a certain
low dancing place In Soho and an
order was given for every one TO I'M
mask what was the amazement Of the
police to find that at least third OF
the company consisted of ladies and
gentlemen of the highest aristocracy.
some of whom had even brought their
daughters Review.

Miners Description of His Feel
inEs When He Was Blown Up.
\ miner who was blown up while
blasting a rock describes his sensations
thus:
You see, it's so sudden. It's over
just about the time you begin to under
stand that something is happening.
You know, l had the cartridge in my
hand and put it down. Then l got
afraid of it. All at once everything
was light. 1 don't think 1 saw the
flash. Anyway my face was not eX-
actly toward the explosion.
But then everything got light, lighter
than day-kind of binding. There was
an awful crash. 1t was just at the
same time 1 was terrified and wanted
TO get away. 1t was just as If I was
having the nightmare. Somehow,
though, 1 knew just what the matter
was. 4 man can think faster than he
has any idea of. l knew that some of
the others were nearer the explosion.
and said to myself, They're blown in

walked up to the beautiful palace he
saw in front of him. He went through
many lovely rooms, full of rare and
costly things, each one more splendid
than the last, but the prince felt de-
pressed at the great silence. for not
living thing was to be heard.
At last he reached the second story,
and, going into the last and handsomest
room. he shortly became aware that
beautiful young lady was asleep on a
low couch not far from where he was
standing. He hesitatingly approached
her to have a better view of her face
and thought her so lovely that he
stopped over her and kissed her. She
opened her eyes and was surprised to
6nd young man near her and told him
TO go away as fast as he could, for this
was the COLLINS castle and that either
the goblin, the witch (his mother) or
the black serpent would eat him. He
told her his adventures, and she told
him hers.
When she was child, she had been
stolen from her fathers kingdom, AMI
many princes and young men had lost
their lives in trying to save her and
take her away from the goblin's castle.
She thanked Prince Albar very cour-
teously for having freed her.
After few days the prince. finding
he loved her very much indeed, asked
her to become his wife She consented
They then mounted on horseback to so
back to the princes fathers kingdom.
They soon arrived. The king was
very happy to see his SOB again and
also TO see what beautiful bride he
rad chosen. The year was now over.
and after this the king chose Prince
Akbar as his heir. The prince now
fnhabits the COLLINS castle, where his
father occasionally visits him. and If
any of you wish to go and see him you
have only to find the COLLINS castle, for
the prince is very hospitable aud will
make you welcome.

MnI.inr n MackereI.

Many a dainty nose with beauty and
fortune behind it has been airily eie-
waited at the mention of plain, old fash
toned salt mackerel, but never at the
salt mackerel as cooked by the famous
John ChamberIin of Washington. His
testimony runs TO this effect:
Take one or more mackerel and soak
about As hours, changing the water
once. Then put them in a pan large
enough to hold them, cover them with
cream or the nearest you can get to 1t,
put in oven and cook until cream is
brown. This beats any mackerel cook
ing on earth.'-New York Herald.

Editorial Association.

The twelfth annual meeting of
the West Virginia Editorial Associa.
ton was held at Fairmont the 10Th,
goth and 2lst inst. and although not
so largely attent ed as meetings in
years gone by, was just as much en-
ioyed by the members of the fra
ternity who were present as any
of the previous meetings.
The citizens of the wide awake
and progressive mountain city of
Fairmont left nothing undone to
make the stay of the pencil showers"
pleasant. The Fairmont of today
does not resemble in the least degree
the town by the same name and
situate partially on the same site,
of twenty-five years ago, when the
writer attended the Normal School
there. The town has improved and
expanded until it is now one Of the
most beautiful cities in the State,
with paved streets, water works,
electric lights, big hotel and bank
buildings, four excellent weekly
newspapers and a sprightly daily,
besides many large business enter
prlses of great magnitude. The
session ended with banquet at the
Watson Hotel, which was up-to-date
in every particular and highly en-
joyed by those present
MANNINGToN.
On the afternoon of the 10th the
visitors boarded Is. ~ O. X. X.
train and went TO Warrington, the
oil city. We were met at the train
by committee ot ladies and gentle
men and taken to the Bartlett House
where we rested and were refreshed
by soft (and some not SO soft for
those inclined) drinks tor a short
time when we were driven over the
beautiful little city in carriages and
shown the various provements
and industries. The two glass
plants were inspected and beautiful
little souvenirs were presented the
visitors by the management of the
Warrington Glass Co. After re-
turning to the Bartlett Hotel
banquet was served and never did
we attend more elaborate or better
arranged affair. 1t simply could
not be improved upon in any manner.
Before leaving each visitor was
presented a small vial of oil, from
the first producing we'll of the com
munity, neatly decorated with rib
bon.
We had not thought Warrington
much of a place, but since visiting
the progressive city and finding so
many generous and kind hearted
people we have changed our mind.
We are now perfectly willing that
Warrington shall forever be known
as the county seat of Augusta coun-
ty-when such county shall have
been established
Wheeling was selected as the
next place of meeting, by special
invitation of the Board of Trade of
that city.
We will give the names OF the
new officers elected and resolutions
adopted i'll next weeks issue.

In an interview published in a St Louis paper. Hon. Phil D. Scott, of Van Buren. a member of the St Louis worlds fair national commission, says:
 Arkansas will let no state excel her in her exhibit The entire state of Arkansas is greatly interested in the St. Louis worlds fair. Gov. Davis has appointed over 400 honorary com missioners, and the plan. believe. IS to appoint commissioners in each county to the number of fifteen or more. By this means the whole state of Arkansas will be represented throughout Each county will have its products separate. We will show min eral and agricultural products as well as things that Arkansas manufactures. The people of Arkansas are deter mined that even Missouri shall not excel her in the matter of exhibits. We expect to secure an additional ap- propriation from the legislature which meets in 1903. If it will give us S75.- GOO or S100.000 this will probably swell the whole sum to be expended to about S25O,0OO. With that sum we think we can make an adeuuate showing and something that no Arkansan would be ashamed of after it is installed. {" mfsreo.: edeC of .ormsaa,. a,akqjq q I

State Fails to Receive Anything From Peabody Fund For Edu-
 cational Purposes.
OCCURRENCES OF WEEK BRIEFlYSTATED
Plan of Organizing In the Various Coun- ties For Worlds Fair Work Aged Farmer Killed By Fractions Horse. Heavy Loss From Fire at swifton.
The Peabody Fund.

Blow Is an extract from the annual report of State Superintendent J. J. Doyne to Dr. l.. M. Curry, trustee of the Peabody fund:
 'l regret that l have no special re port to make to you this year owing to the fact that the Peabody aid was withdrawn from the state by your board on account of the failure of the legislature to make any appropriation for summer normal work for the pres ent year Through the earnest effort of our county examiners, the teachers were given the advantage of short term institutes under competent instructors. the teachers themselves bearing the expense of the same. The reports from these institutes are encouraging. and the sentiment is more than ever in favor of trained teachers In these institutes there were enrolled about 4,000 teachers, while the attendance of those who were not teachers. but who are simply interested in the work was unusually large. There is steady growth of interest in our schools. The enrolment is better; the attendance is more regular; the demand for good buildings and better teachers is in creasing. There are now more than fifty new buildings in process of cree ton, and about 240 were erected in the year ending July 1. 1901
 In support of these statements Super intendent Doyne gives the following encouragng comparative statement:
 For the past twenty-eight years Ar kansas has received a porton of the Peabody fund to assist in holding in- stitutes and normals. and has now lost 1t through the indifference of the leg lslature. In 1895 and in 1897 the leg islature appropriated $1000 a year for the purpose of carrying on the normals In 1899 the legislature refused to make the appropriation, and the Peabody board very wisely refused to help those who will not help themselves Ar kansas now occupies the unique posi- tion of being the only southern state that has no fund available for insti- tute and normal work
