WHAT BECOMES OF THE MONEY

According to the Savannah News
there are some farmers near Conyers,
Ga, who want to know what bcomes
of the money obtained from the United
States for the support of college of
agriculture and mechanic arts. They
have addressed a communication to the
Southern CuItivator, and that periodical
answers in an article which it entities
"a Live Wire"
According to the Southern CuItivator
Georgia now gets about $4,000 a year
for the support of college of''Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts" and this
money is so distributed that several in
situations get share of 1t. The most of
it goes to the State University, por-
ton of it to the college at Dahlonegs,
another portion to the Negro Agricul-
turaI and Mechanical College near
Thunderbolt, in Chatham county.
But according to the Southern Quilt
xatorr, there is no institution in the state
where the entire time of the students is
given up to the study of agriculture and
mechanic arts. There was, at the start,
such an institution at Athens, but it
dwindled away until it had no students
whatever. It is claimed that for rea-
sons which are given it could not exist
in such close proximity to Franklin
College.
It may be that there are no students
at any of the institutions which get the
money intended for the support of q
college of agriculture and Mechanic
Arts who give their entire time TO
studies pertaining to agriculture or
mechanic arts, but it is probable that in
all Of them there are students who give
some of their time to matters pertain
ing to the farm. We notice that the
University of Georgia has just issued
supplement to fall bulletin in which
it gives notice of a''short winter course
in agriculture. This course is to in
clude agriculture, horticulture and
dairying, and is to begin January Sand
end March 80.
tits our understanding that there are
NO students at the Griffin institution,
but it is a safe assertion that some at
tention is given to agriculture at Dab
lonega. It is certain that there is at the
negro institution in Chatham county.
Wehaye heard it stated that there are at
least dozen students taking the agri-
cultural course there, and the, number
that IL studying the mechanic arts is
very large something less than hun
bred perhaps. It is probable, however,
that the number studying Greek and
Latin, or at least Latin, is greater than
the number studying agriculture and
mechanic arts combined.
The Southern Cultivator seems to
think that college devoted wholly to
agriculture and mechanic arts would
be successful in this state If 1t were
conducted in connection with the Ex-
uerjment Station. It points out that
similar colleges were failures in South
Carolina and Mississippi when con-
neoted with the universities of those
states. but that, having been separated
from them, have become very success
ful and prosperous.
Is it the purpose of those who are
bringing this matter forward at this
time to try and have purely agricul-
tural college established in connection
with the Experiment station9 1t would
seem 50.

"MISTRESS OF GAMES"

The days are long since past, says
London Lady, when it was considered
ladylike to faint, and when feminine
weakness and lack of self-reliance were
supposed to enhance a woman's charms
Now our girls are athletes like their
brothers. In view of the overcrowding
in nearly every other profession at pres
ent open to women, the recent appoint
ment of Miss Edith Brown, a student
OF the Physical Training College at
Southport, to fill the important position
of Mistress of Games and Gymnastics
in the public schools of Durham, is of
essential interest to all who concern
themselves with the doings of women
This young lady, who is only twenty
one years of age, is the daughter of
Mr.. William Brown of Canterbury
Park, London She entered the South
port College in 1890, for a two years
course, found the work most congenial
and studied with conspicuous success.
In addition to having qualified in the
scientific subjects of physiology, hygiene
sick-nursing, ambulance and medical
work, and gymnastics, rope climbing.
swimming and jumping, and silver and
bronze medals.
Whether similar openings for women
will offer in other towns in the South
African colonies remains to be seen
Miss Brown owes her appointment
(Which by the way is worth 1900 a
Year, to the fact that the authorities of
the Durham Public Schools having taken
up the subject of physical training in a
practical way, deputed one of their prin-
cipals, Miss Moore Smith, to visit En-
gland in order to engage competent
teacher. Miss Moore Smiths choice,
after careful inquiries and investigation,
has fallen as we have seen, and there is
little doubt that it will prove very
satisfactory one to all concerned.

PaIatable Nutrlment,

A strengthening liquid which an inva-
lid soon learns to dread, but which is the
oftenest prescribed by the physician, is
a raw beaten egg mixed with milk or
wine. Only those who have had this
included in the daily diet for time can
realize how quickly it becomes distaste-
fnl, and numerous devices must be re-
sorted to to make the raw egg palatable.
For a change from the milk and wine
prepare cup of hot coffee, with cream
and sugar, or as it is best liked by the
invalid. Have an egg previously beaten
very light, and gradually stir it into tho
prepared coffee, standing the cup hold
ing the coffee in a pan of boiling water
to keep it very hot. This makes a pleas
ant change, as it is very palatable as
we'll as strengthening, and if beaten un-
til thoroughly light and stirred quickly
into the hot coffee the taste of the egg
will not be noticeable; in fact it will
have much the effect of rich whipped
cream added to the coffee.

THE. MANAGEMENT OF THE
HAIR.

Hair oils of every kind and all pre-
parations for the hair are unnecessary
so long as the scalp IS in healthy con-
dition. Brush the hair daily with a stiff
brush, and, if the hair has enough nat
ural oil to permit, wash it once in two
weeks with clear cold water. A little
white CASTLE soap may be used occasion
ally, but if it is mixed with ninety per
cent. alcohol it will be less injurious to
the head than when it is applied alone
with water.

being in want of fuel to cook his rice,
he cut down tree, which happened

FASHION NOTES

Shaded materials are coming into
vogue again.
The latest tag ornaments are made of
coins or jewels in pear or round shapes.
A touch of scarlet introduced in hat or
gown trimmings is Partisan fancy for
fall.
Genuine antique Persian brocade is
used for the fashionable little wrist
bags, with clasps of carved oxidized sill
yer set with coral.
The dominant note of Partisan fash
ions is the prodigal use of transparent
textiles trimmed with chiffon or net
draperies or lace of every known pat
tern, weave and tint
The automobile cockade is the latest
fad in hat trimming and is seen to spe-
cial advantage on shirt waist models.
The cockade consists of many loops OF
chenille or narrow width ribbons.
The newest millinery ornaments are
of gun metal, studded with cut steel or
rhinestones. Cut jet combined with
gold will also be used for hat decoration
in the autumn.
The fine, sheer French organize in
lovely monochromes or in Marie An
toinette devices is decidedly one of the
marked favorites of fashion, and has
tor the utumn season prominent
place among her chosen materials.
Batiste in lace effects and embroider-
cd patterns figure largely in combina.
ton with foulards, crepe de Chine. and
the new delicately colored and rather
expensive silk and wool buntings and

A charming boa is made of large
white chiffon peoples. with yellow or
black chenille centres. These are sci

Brand Hunt OF the Mammoth Cats IL
the Arizona Mountains
A big roundup OF lions is now TAX
tng place in the San Francisco noun
tains. about $50 miles north of Flag
stan. In that country the big cats
are to be found In larger numbers
than In any other locality in Arizona
and the party expects to bag several
hundred of them. At one time the
California lion was to be found in all
parts OF Arizona, but large territorial
and county bounties have caused his
determination in many places. Many
thousand dollars have been paid by
each county for lion scalps. and ct
$40 per head hunters have found II
profitable business. some Of them, IN
times past, killing score Of lions In
a weeks slime, and a total OF over
$4,000 has been paid In Arizona for
scalps in the past ten years. Hundreds
Of lions though have been shot by
many who have not claimed the boun-
ties, taking as their rewards the fact
that they have disposed of the cause
Of the slaughter OF the calves. colts,
and lambs.
While the lions have grown less
common in the southern part of the
territory, there has been no perceptible
decrease in their numbers in the wild
or northern regions. Sheepmen In the
San Francisco mountains have COM
planned of late that the lions are kill

bers that their raids are proving ruin

Carthy. territorial game warden, he's
organized the hunting party and the
district where the lions abound will
be thoroughly gone over. The animals
will be driven into the center of a
circle where they can easily be killed.
The California lion Is a small spe-
cies of the panther family. He is about
the size of Canadian lynx and pos
sessed of a similar nature. He is
cowardly and has never been known
to attack a man unless cornered, but
Is capable of fierce fight when driven
to bay.
