congregation, always with the congrat-
ulations of joyo>s friends. 1t could
hardly be said there was no excite
ment, for this could not be expected
where there were so many interested,
but there was no demonstrating or in
dividual conduct that would bear crit
icism. The result was 213 professed
conversion, and 164 joined the church.
A number of these had not been
dropped from the church rolls, hence
the discrepancy between the penitents
and the number who united with the

Three New Class Leaders Appointed.
1t was a source of mutual congratu-
lation that every department of work
in old Asbury was progressing so ia
vorably. Both schools (Asbury and
the one at the Landing) were able to
show material gains in numbers and
increased collections. The Ladies'
Mite Society reported more than $4OO
received and expended during the
year. As result of the recent revi-
val it has been found necessary to ap-
point three new Glass Leaders for in
struction of converts; and this now
makes thirteen of these important lay
helpers in connection with Asbury.
The pastor had appointed J. Frank
Webb, Miss Susie Hudson and Miss
Hester G. Rutledge to these positions,
and they were confirmed unanimously
and made members of the Quarterly
| Conference.

AN OPEN LETTER
From the Board of Trustees to the Pub
 lic-A Strong Endorsement
Prof. Maddox Complimented on Splendid Results and Excellent Oualifications- Hearty Endorsement of Institution.

Maddox Seminary is f1ourishing. Here IS the way the board of trustees speak of last years results and it's ad- vantages:
 Little Rock, Ark, July g, 1902. To Parents Having Daughters to Ed
 ucate:
 The board of trustees of the Mad dox Seminary for Young Ladies take occasion to call your attention to the advantages which this institution of learning offers for the education of girls and young women.
 The seminary has recently closed it's fourth successful year since it's removal from Oxford, Miss, to Little Rock, and will open it's next session on the 17th day of September, 1902
 The president has had many years of experience in his work, and has proven himself to be a tactful discip- linarian as well as a popular and sue cessful teacher and superintendent. He is aided by corps of the ablest teachers that can be found. These teachers are specialists in their par ticular lines, thus offering to the stu dents advantages which can be found only in schools of high grade.
 The location of the school at Little Rock gives the students an opportuni ty to hear and see much of men and things which are in themselves educa tional, and at the same time furnish relaxation and entertainment.
 The school buildings are not only comfortable and attractive, but are To- cated on the bank of the Arkansas river and on one of the highest points in the city, thus giving a delightful view of the city and of the surround ing mountains. Take it all in all we think there are few places which combine so many advantages and which offer so many possibilities for cultivating the heads and hearts of your daughters.
 We, therefore, bespeak for the sem mary continuance of the liberal patronage which it has heretofore en- joyed and hereby express our most hearty endorsement of the institution and the character of work it is doing
 Most Respectfully,
 w. S. Mccain, President.
 J. s. Pollock, Secretary.
 By order of board of trustees.

Not many months ago $l,000 was willed to a conductor of The Chicago & Alton Rail way for being attentive and courteous. A somewhat similar circumstance has reoc- cured MT. H. J. Titus, steward on one of the ''Alton's" dining cars, recently had for guest gentleman to whom he uncon- sciousy gave such polite attention as to at tract his patrons notice. Upon arrival of the train in Chicago, this passenger, who was high official of the Mobile & Ohio Railway, repaired to the general offices of The Chicago & Alton Railway, and being assured of Mr Titus's ability, promptly ap- pointed the latter Superintendent Commis- sary of the Mobile & Ohio Railway. Mir. Titus assumes his new duties August 18th, with headquarters in Jackson, Tenn. He will be the youngest railway superintendent of dning-cars in the United States, his age being but twenty -four.

TONE OF THE. SCHOOL Roo3.
somethihg That Is Difficult to Define, But Is of Importance to
 the Pupils,

It is difficult to define 'tone" when applied to the school room, but every one familiar with teaching knows what it is, some schools look upon the teacher as kind of police officer, put in his place to keep order and to se- cure the proper amount of study; oth- CT schools look upon him as friend and helper, and treat him as an elder brother, or, better, as considerate te and respectful parent. "Tone" comes from the teacher-that is, when he has been long enough in the school to impress himself upon his pupils. When new teacher enters upon his work he soon perceives the tone" left by his predecessor, and sees at once what his work outside the text book is to be. Tone" is always moral or immoral in character, it cannot be neutral, for the teacher is not like a shoemaker or carpenter. There can be no such thing as an immoral shoe or house, neither can there be such d thing as teaching, neutral in it's tone. states the Educators Journal
 LNC1y Qdy WOIh IldlAtS lHe IedCn- CT and his pupils either better or worse. There is often more moral uplifting in a recitation in geometry than in a sermon. Even the calling of the roll may be done in such a manner as to render the school happy or miser- able. The same may be said of every school exercise. Moral tone is not always connected with mental abl- ity; on the contrary, many highly in- tellectual teachers have been hard, harsh, cruel and eXacting. There was once a teacher who could sing with great effect. His voice was musical. his manner kind and conciliatory and his whole bearing that of a refined gentleman. One piece he used to sing so effectually that tears would moist en his cheeks during it's performance, and many of his pupils would be vis- ibly affected. It is needless to say that he attached himself to his pupils in remarkable manner. But he was so poor in arithmetic that frequently he would ask help from his advanced pupils; yet the memory of that teach CT remains in the minds of his pupils after many years, as bright spot in their early years, when teachers were, as a rule, harsh and unloading and the school room was rarely place of hanpiDaSS

CONVENIENCE FOR TRAVELLERS.
It Is Found in the Interchangeable
 Mileage Ticket.

The interchangeable mileage ticket is sued by the New York Central is good over more than 5000 miles of railway east of Buffalo, including the New York Central < Hudson River and branches; Rome, Water town X Ogdensburg and branches; Carthage & Adirondack; Mohawk & Malone; St. Lawrence & Adirondack; New York < Putnam; New York & Harlem; Pennsyl- vania Division of the New York Central; West Shore Railroad, including its Chenan- go and Waikiki Valley branches; and the Boston & Albany Railroad
 Over all of the above roads the tickets are good in the hands of the bearer for one per son or dozen, and good until used, there being no limit to the ticket They are also accepted for passage, subject to the local rules and regulations, on the following lines: Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway; Central Railroad of Pennsylvania; Pitts burg, Johnstown, Ebensburg & Eastern Railroad; Philadelphia & Reading Railway, and Atlantic City Railroad.
 These tickets are sold at the flat rate of two cents per mile, and that they are a great convenience to the public is proven by the fact that thousands of them are in the hands of not only regular travellers, but of many families that travel only occasion. ally. as they are always ready for use and enable their holders to travel on all the New York Central lines east of Buffalo at two cents per mile without waiting for re bates or prooS of ownership.-From the Albany Argus.

BOW-LEGS ON THE INCREASE.
From the Following Account It WOud Seem That Crooked Limbs
 Are Growing More Common.

"BOwlegs are certainly on the in- crease said we'll known tailor, ac- cording to the New Orleans Times particular difference in my line of business we cannot help from notic- ing it. What special reason is to be assigned for the increase in bowlegs is a question 1 am not prepared to answer. But really it does not re- quire the experience of a tailor to es tablish the fact that bowlegs are more numerous now than ever before. Of course, the tailor, because of the measurements he is required to make may notice things of this sort more readily than the men who are en- gagged in other walks of life. We have 60 measure mans leg when an order for a suit of clothes is left, and we naturally notice the size and shape of the legs.
 Some time ago my attention was directed to the matter by man whose legs were just little above the average when it comes to crook edness of this kind. I made up my mind that I could conduct little study along this line. She results have surprised me. l have found that but very few men have straight legs that is, legs that are normally straight. The surprising fact about the matter is that in a majority of instances a billiard ball may be drop ped between the calves of the legs.
 Knock knees are not uncommon, but this affiiction. if it may be called such, is l imagine, very largely mat ter of inheritance. Bowlegs in some instances, may be accounted for in the same way, but in a majority of instances they owe their existence to other causes. No doubt the habit of pushing boys of tender years out in- to the industrial field has much to do with it. Boys are forced out now before the joints of the limbs are hardened, and they are required to carry heavy loads and to do other things which are calculated to pro duce the result I have been discuss ing.
 ''There is no doubt in my mind about this practice being an import ant factor in the development of bow legs. Of course, there are more bow legs now than ever before. You may have noticed it yourself. If you have not it is because your attention has not been called to it, for one may see them on the highway if one will but take the trouble to look. If the things keeps up the young man of the future will have to take board with him when he goes courting, else but never mind about that.

Straight roads are economic roads, and they invite traffic.
