Unprecedented Opportunity for Teachers.

The summer school of the south at
Knoxville, Tenn, will be, doubtless,
the best equipped institution of the
kind that has ever offered its service to
the southern teachers and students.
There will be more than forty profes-
sors in the faculty, coming from ten
universities, five colleges, nine normal
schools and other institutions of learn
ing. The tnition is free other than the
registration fee of five dollars, and
board can be obtained at very reasona-

From Farmers Review: From what

believe that exhibits at Farmers In
stitutes interest many farmers and
their wives that cannot be reached in
any other way. They take pride in
bringing the best product from the

manner become part of the institute,
and after they have attended one ses-
sion they are convinced that it is
good place to be and after receiving
good cash premiums they go home
,eeling that some one has been work
ng for them. In this way many far
mers become interested and make
good workers for the cause. If no ex-
hibits had been made these same far
mers would have remained at home

features of the dead were generally
calm and reposeful, although in some
cases terrible fright and agony were
depicted. Grim piles of bodies were
stacked everywhere, showing that
death had stricken them while the
crowds were vainly seeking escape
from the fiery deluge. On one spot
a group of nine children were found
locked in each others arms.
The vaults of the Bank of Martin

Rue de PHospital, were found intact
They contained 100000 francs (s40O.-

to get away begged for a passage on

eight half dead men, women and child
rem, who were so badly burned that
they had to be lifted over the steamers

others are likely to live.

children were mingled in one awful
mass, arms and legs protruding as the
hapless beings fell in the last strug-
giles of death. From under one large
stone the arm of white woman pro-
truded. Most notable was the utter
silence and the awful, overpowering
stencil from the thousands of dead.
The fiery stream which so completely
destroyed st. Pierre must have been
composed of poisonous gases, which in
stantly suffocated every one who in
hailed them, and of other gases burn

tins had their hands covering their
mouths or were in some other attitude
showing that they had sought relief
from suffocation. All the bodies were
carbonized or roasted.
