has taken It's place in Southern life
largely because it has done so much
to create and to interpret what may
be called the characteristic genius of
the two Boards to which reference
has just been made.
The success Of tho General and
Southern Education Boards (organi.
cations but little more than a year
old) has been due not so much to any
new element in their methods or to
any dietinctive quality in their per.
sonnel, but rather to the spirit in
which their methods and their per

the South.

alton of an intelligent patriotism in
the country at largo. They have
worked not upon the understanding
that the failure of earnestuess de-
mands the offensive solcitude of the
missionary, but in cordial apprecia
ton of the fact that the South, with
an abundant earnestness, in trying
to bear alone those burdens which
the whole country has created, do
serves in her nutional task something
of national response.
In fulfilment Of this spirit the Con
ference for Education in the South
has invited to its sessions hundreds
Of representative citizens from every
section Of the country, although the
Conference will be open to all who
may be interested in the subject Of
it's deliberations. These will gather
in Richmond for the farther earnest
consideration of the great cause
which DR.. Curry loved to describe in
his own simple democratic phrase us
"the education of all the people,"
The outlook for a large and repre-.
sentative attendance is particularly
encouraging.

INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS,
Miss McClintock Says This Question Most
Important To Be Discussed BY
Federated WOman'S Clubs.

The following interview with Miss
McClintock upon tho importance OF
intermediate schools for the South
and the good work which may be
done towarda securing them by the
approaching convention of the Fed
Grated Clubs for Woman's Work to
be held in Columbia is from the Col
umbia State Miss McClintock is pres
idenl of the Presbyterian College for
Women in Columbia. and is the
talented and accomplished daughter
Of DR.. E. p McClintock, of New
berry. The State says:
There is an immense amount of
interest in the convention Of the Fed
Grafton Of Woman's Clubs, which be-
gins here on April 81, and those per-
SONS who are laboring under the im
preston that the ladies' are coming
here from all over South Carolina to
discuss new Parisian vogues, multi
colored spring gowns, lingerie and
all the fol de rol that sometimes
makes the heart Of woman glad

Neither is it the purpose, 80 far as
can be ascertained, to seriously con-
slider the advisability Of bifurcated
or abbreviated skirts, after the fash
ion Of the Rainy Daises and Sorosis.
Very different subjects will inter
est the hundred or moro delegates
and some Of these are of the deepest
possible interest to tho people of
South Carolina and of vital import
ance to the welfare and advancement
of the whole State Among these
is tho educational question. Miss
Enphemia McClintock, the president
of the Presbyterian College for Wo
men, who will be a sort Of steering
committee for the convention, re
ceived letter from the president of
the federation yesterday and it has
been practically decided that the
morning and afternoon sessions will
be given up to business and the
evenings the ladies will give up to
recreation.
On Thursday evening there will
be music and art reception at the
Presbyterian college, which Miss
McClntock hopes to make exceed
ingly Interesting. The question of
advancing the usefulness Of the
State schools and the paramount
Importance of intermediate institu.
tions Will in all probability he the
all consuming theme for discussion.

A Vegetable Chair.

One of the most wonderful pieces Of
furniture in the world is the vegetable
chair which came from Corea, and has
grown from a single seed, planted
twenty-six years ego. The seed was
that of a gingko tree. In fertile soil
and amid sunshine and rain the seed
grew into vine, which tie native gar
dener set about to fashion by ingen-
ious twistings, compressions, and
trainings into an arm chair.
zach pruning was necessary In Or
der to make the lower branches de-
relop in size and strength. The chair
was carefully formed, Dy tying the
young and pliabie branches together
with strong fibre ropes, and as the tree
expanded the ropes held firm.
The chair we.s CHS more than one
hundred pounds, and is even harder,
sturdier and more imperishable than
oak. 1t is three feet four inches in
height, and twenty-five inches in
width, and some of the knots which
formed between the binding ropes are
twenty-one inches in circumference.
The bark has been removed, and the
surface, which is golden brown in
color, has taken a fine polish, and In
spite of it's look of lumpy antagonism
it is quite as comfortable as the con-
ventioral factory made chair.

HOW TIME is MADE.
Uncle Sam Regulates. His Clocks by
0ne Of the EiYed Stars

Uncle Sam Regulates. His Clocks by
One of the Fixed Stars.
Strange as it may seem Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun for
reckoning time, but he turns his
attention to some Of the regular,
steady-going stars, or fixed stars as
they are called. Every clear night
an astronomer with a big telescope
looks at certain Of these stars and
makes his calculation from which he
can tell just when the sun would
cross the 18th meridian. One Of the
great clocks in the observatory is
called the transmitter, because 1t
transmits or sends out the signal that
keeps standard time. This clock is
set and regulated by the star-ume,
and then every day at three minutes
and fifteen seconds before twelve a
switch is turned on and the beats Of
the pendulum OF this clock are sent
by electricity over the wires to the
telegraph Offices in Washington and
New York. When the telegraph op-
orators hear this sound on their instru-
ments they know that the noon sig
nal is about to be sent out and they
at once begin to connect the telegraph
wires with other towns and cities, un-
til in a minute Or two the tick,
of the clock at Washington is heard
in hundreds of telegraph Offices. The
beats stop at 10 seconds before II as
a notice that the next 'tick" will be
the noon signal, and SO as to give the
operators time to connect their wires
with the standard time balls and
clocks. There are time balls in great
many cities-usually on top Of some
prominent building, where they can
easily be seen. The one at Washing
ton is on the roof of the state, war and
navy department building, at the top
of high pole, ready to drop the in
slant the signal comes over the wire.
In the government Offices at Washing
ton and in many places in other cities
there are large clocks connected with
the observatory by electricity. These
are so arranged that when the II
o'clock signal is flashed over the wires
the hands of each one of these clocks
spring to y, no matter what time the
clock may show; in this way hundreds
of clocks are set to the correct time
each day.
Well, the moment the sun is sup
posed to cross the 18th meridian, the
telegraph instruments give a single
tick, the time balls drop, the clocks
begin to strike, and everybody in the
district knows it is II o'clock.-Clif-
ford Howard, in st. Nicholas.

Great interest attaches to the e2-

Wingield Neville of Shectorre Cas-
tie. So far the remains of a Roman
residence, probably that OF Roman

would be amply rewarded.-Londor

PEARLS OF THOUGHT

Mammon is the mother of misery.
Faith is the fire of all true genius.
Men need soft hearts in hard times.
Better be good servant than a bad
son.
The sense of guilt adds stings to our
griefs.
Conceit is not an ingredient of con-
secration.
The losses of childhood are the gains
OF manhood.
Each man thinks his match as big
as the other mans torch.
One mans dollar is not nearly as
big as another mans dime.
That half the world are fools is only
the opinion OF the other half.
The search for singularity oft in
wolves the sacrifice Of sincerity.
There is a good deal of difference
between punishment and chastisement.
The man who says there is no truth
in the world has mistaken a mirror for
the universe.
If you hide your sins in the cellar
they will be sure to make themselves
known in the parlor-Ram's Horn.

a Potato Dinner.

A potato dinner" was the unique
feast which one of Biddeford's charm
ing hostesses spread before her guests.
In the dining room four tables were
set and profusely adorned with au-
tumn leaves and vegetables. For a
ccnterpiecc each table was supplied
with a large squash. Around the base
red. yellow and green leaves extended
outward for fully feet, and f1anklng
the sides was an artistic arrangement
of vegetables and fruits. The only H.
Illumination in the room was furnished
by large candles. Beside each plate
large potato rested on an autumn
leaf. In the potato was small hole,
into which the candle fitted. The
menu cards were dainty and as unique
as the other details. They were IN
the shape of a potato, and each was
painted in water colors. rs souvenirs
Of the party they were admirably ap-
propriate. The dinner comprised
many courses. and each lone was
marked by having some form of the
potato as it's chief feature. There
we're soups. salads, croquettes, etc., in
turn. but fine, new potatoes, just har-
vested from the fertile soil Of York
county, were employed in making

Lying in the very heart of New

A bit of history attaches to the sper.
In 1868 it formed part of what was
known as the Broadway. Gsrsen. Here
was a famous recruiting station for the
government, withSe sort of camp and
barracks combi1ed.
There~was no hint then, in the COS,
of the marvellous rise in real estate
values which the district was destined
to experience. Broadway was the
thoroughfare north and south, dotted
with stores, summer gardens and resi-

space between the highway and the
river would become fashionable resi-
