SPIRITED COMPETITION.
for the Building oG Warships.

The monopoly of constructing war ships of the largest type, hitherto en- ioyed by three concerns In this coun- try, promises to be invaded by four or five firms. which have expressed 6 great desire to make proposals for the construction of the vessels, bids for which will be opened on December G. The three firms winch have always bid upon this work are the Union iron works. of San Francisco; the Cramp Building and Dry Dock company, Of Philadelphia, and the Newport News (Ya.) Shipbuilding company It now appears that these irms will have as rivals the Fore River Shipbuilding compan ny. of Weymouth. Mass; Town send & Downey. of New York; the New York Shipbyilding company. O< New York city; the Trigg Engine and Shipbuilding company, of Richmond. Va, and the Risdon iron works. of San Francisco. The appearance of the latter firm in the list of ~orrnss. itors Is something of surprise. 10 will make it interesting for :hs Cp'na iron works, which has had DO conn petitors in the race for naval con tracts covering large ships on the Pa cific coast.

Coufty Teachers institute
THURSDAY.

After general exercises Thurs day morning. MT. J. T. Brown introduced the subject of Current Events, and told the manner he would handle the matter in school. MT. Chopper spoke on literature, naming quite a number of good authors suitable to be used in the different grades. He was follow ed by others, as in the case of MT. Brown. Miss Hunt read an excellent paper on Methods. MT. J. w. Brown discussed psy- cology in an essay full of thought and good points.
 Snpt. Hogue spoke on Super vision, the relation of the dit ferent parties concerned or in- terested in public schools. Prof. Patterson gave a timely talk on music in the public schools. Miss Fernandez read a paper on phys1- cal culture and also had the insti- ute to go thru some ofthe drills. The reports of the different com rnittees were read and adopted by the institute late in the evening,
 The whole three days sessions were quite animated at times and at times very prosy 1t seemed. Some things were said that might have we'll been left out. But talk ing 1t all in all, we think the institute was fairly successful one, The teachers are in earnest and are doing a good work in the county.

GRAMMAR.
By G. E. Perry.

By G. E. Perry.
 Any other subject on the pro- grarnme would have been more ac- ceptabl. to the writer than gram mar, which is his confessedly weak point. Nevertheless. as one holding a teachers certificate and supposedly competent to give instruction in any branch con tained in the Course of Study, be feels it duty to give expression to a few ideas gathered during a somewhat lengthy teaching ex- perience. He may at least claim to have devoted considerable att tention to the application of grammar, having earnestly str1V- en to improve himself and pupils in the use of correct language. The subject assigned IS, as he understands it, English grammar.
 A book was once written on Ireland, containing a celebrated and much alluded to chapter on Snakes. One sentence sufflced; 'There are no snakes i'll Ireland. :" Now, English grammar might be disposed of in an equally sum- mary manner, for many reputable authorities claim that English is grammarless tongue. It de bends somewhat on what we
 mean by grammar. It certainly

 Greek, highly infected languag.

possesses it in the very highest

possesses 1t in .he very highest degree.
 Mark Twain, in his article on the awful German language, ably describes the trouble in store for the unsespecting American who undertakes the declension of a German noun. A California stud- ent at Heidlburg told him that he would rather decline two drinks any day than one German noun. He credits the maniac who invented the language with one good idea, being; that of be- ginning every noun with a capi- tai, so that you are generally able to tell noun when you see it.
 It Is not to be inferred from the foregoing that our language. be- cause of the want of infection, Is in any sense an inferior tongue. Quite the contrary. It's wonder fnl flexibility adapts 1t equally to the highest and most varied forms of literature and to the needs of pra actica1 life. In the latter ca- pacity, let Us compare it with the French. The French captain of a steamship, wishing to arrest the progress of bis vessel. bland ly addresses the engineer thus

 While 1t may be rather ques- tionab1e advantage, still 1t is true that English is the best language in which to swear. The writer we'll remembers when i'll a certain Illinois town, in which all the inhabitants were French, he heard nothing but French un- til some one had a job of profan- ity on hand, when the outburst was invariably in English. For eign oaths lack Tn force and shat tering effect. and are mostly sort of bird-song words.

RIGHT MOTIVES
the Intention That Prompts 1t.

A motive is that which moves 6 man, an internal reason pushing Q man to a decision. Man as respon- sible being acts only from motives; a machine is made to go from out ward compulsion. The mind may be in indecision, in doubt; various mo- tives appeal to the will; finally the mind is made up, and the man acts in view of controlling motive. The moral quality of an act depends on the motive back of it, not on the out ward form of the act. A man may pray in a fervent manner, so that men may regard him as an Israel hay ing power with God, but if the prayer be offered in insincerity, if it be de- signed to please the human ear, it lacks every element of true prayer. 1t is the motive that measures the life and the act.
 An outwardly good and shining act is hollow thing unless it is begot- ten from a true motive. A well-inten- tioned and laundering life becomes covered with moral beauty if there be a good intention back of it. We are not fitted to sit in final judgment on men around us, for we see only the outside of lives and acts. The biggest part of an act-the intention-we cannot see. God alone can separate the tares from the wheat. We should be considerate in judging and slow to condemn, for we lack the power to get at the intention. Many good man and true has been most griev- ously misjudged, many deceiver ap- plauded and acclaimed.
 Failures and mistakes may, under Gods penetrating gaze, be lifted up and transfgured into shining sue cesses, if the intention be high and holy. A right intention with an un- enlightened judgment is vastly better than a clear understanding but a moral nature that is not true to duty. Browning has in one stroke drawn the distinction between attitude and act:
 "Tis not what man does which szslta
 him. but what man would do."
 And he writes again: .u..
 what I aSpireo 10 pc,
 And was not, comforts me"
 If a man has fellowship with good motives, good intentions, he can stand upright even in Gods presence and say: "I mean to do what is right. God sometimes takes the will for the deed. David wished to build the tenn pie. God forbade the work. but gave him this comfort: It was in thine heart to build it. Our motives are under our control, they are ours. We must care for them. and see that they are clean end holy. We cannot be omniscient, nor all-compelling. but we may make sure of this: the in- teation to please God, to be on inti- mate terms with duty. No man can finally commend himself unless he can honestly say: "l mean to do what is right in Gods sight."-O. P. Eaehes, In Baptist Union

A Buffalo Ranch.

A ranchman in Texas is mak- ing buffalo a special feature of his stock. He has a herd of about fifty, with a wide range over the prairie, and says they are not hard to raise, needing only freedom and plenty of room. He has a few elks with them, and says that the elk and buffa- low get along peaceably together for the most part. Now and then he sells a specimen to one or an- other of the geological gardens. but he seems to have gone into the business for scientific interest in the preservation of an animal now nearly extinct.
 This man offers a refreshing contrast to the butcher in the Middle West who killed half a dozen of these rare animals for a barbecue some time ago. Baffale steak is not particularly delici- ous, and there was no reason fol the massacre except that the own

He says reinstatement is too absurd to talk about; so his article ot over 200 ems on the subject IS not talk, according to his own state meut.
