I've KEEP school," said Kentucky
mountaineer, whose eyes were opened
by visit to Berea college. but I cant
say I've ever taught" With more ade-
quate provision for training and an
ever-rising standard of qualification,
the pedagogical profession is taking GA
new dignity and power All the more
important is it not to rush things, for
the finest results must depend on full
tides of vitality. In twelve states as
sociations of teachers met during the
recent holidays. .Schoolroom work is
wearing to brain and nerve, and it is
open to question whether it is wise to
pack the vacations with shop-work,

On the Interoceanic railway OF
Mexico a part of the track has been
laid on ties of jarrah wood imported
from Australia for this purpose. The
Jarrah wood is obtained from one of
the largest tress of the forests of Aus
tralia, which grows to an average
height of two hundred feet, and is
about four feet in diameter at the
trunk. There is usually an interval of
100 feet to the first branch. These
trees furnish timber which is sound in
every respect,there being an absence
OF dry rot, gum veins and other de-
fects that often characterize large
'rees.

In house by riotous crowd of prob

The excitement originated in a trivial
school incident. The superintendent
reprimanded a girl ten years Of age
for disobedience, marched her to the
front from the rear Of the schoolroom.
Her dress caught in a desk and was
torn, and the girl reported to her
mother that she had been kicked and

circumstances of the suicide are in no

that the man was the fifth husband of
