POWER OF BURSTING SAW.

The piece of saw which broke
out of the saw which killed r. J..
Nelson was found a quarter of a
mile away, and sticking about 8
inches in the ground. 1t weighs
about IS lbs. 1t was not the piece
of broken saw which killed Mr..
Nelson, it was the remaining part
left on the shaft, which flew around
and struck him on the shoulder
close to his neck and laid open a
cash about 6 inches on his breast
and about ten inches down his
back, through and through. Perry

"True Education Inseperable from
Morality" He read his paper
with telling effect upon his audi
ence. His paper emphasized the
fact, moral instruction as an ele-
ment of school training, and that the
training of the intellect and moral
faculties of the child must be
carried on hand in hand. School
life affords many opportunities for
such instruction, but their fruitful
Improvement depends largely upon
the personal interest, zeal and tact
of the teacher. The paper aroused
much discussion.
Rev. j. A. Grant read a paper
on strength Of Young Manhood"
which teemed with admonition to
the young men of our race. They
must be ever ready to face the
stern realities that present them
selves to us, and labor to become
blessing to mankind.
Talks were made by DR.. j. E.
Perry, Prof. Logan and Rev.

The Perpetual License Bill.

Jefferson City, Feb. Io.-The
Senate today, by the vote of I9 to

Lincoln Institute Notes.

Ll1COln INSTITUTE NOteS.
The entire amount of the appro-
priation asked for by President
Allen for the maintenance of Lin
coin Institute for the ensuing two
years has been favorably recon-
mended by the committee on ap-
preparations.
The Olive Branch, a society COM
posed of the young ladies of the
Senior and Junior classes, holds
its meeting weekly on Saturday
evening. The program is always
instructive and well rendered. The
essays prepared, the subjects dis
cussed and the manner of conduct
ing business would do credit to
adults. The debate at the last
weekly meeting, (Which one has
contributed the more to Civiliza-
tion Virchow or Marconi" showed
careful preparation and that these
young women are making effective
use of the reading room. The
Olive branch is distinctly a liter
ary club and has membership in
the National Association of Colored
Women.
Professor j. Siione- Yates, head
of the Department of English, has
been invited by President Bum
stead of Atlanta University to de-
livec an address beforet he" Eighth
Annual Conference of Atlanta
University" to be held in Atlanta
May 26. Among other prominent
speakers will be Professor Kelly
Miller of Howard University, DR..
Washington GLADDEN., and others.
The general subject for discussion
will be "'The Negro Church." al
though each speaker will be assign.
ed a special phase of the subject.
The Institute has recently been
favored with visits from many of
the noted men of the race in Mis-
souri,. Among these may be men,
toned Regent Harris, Elder Scott,
and DR.. Uuthank, of Kansas City ;
Lawyer Farmer and Capt. Camp.
bell of st. Louis, DR.. Perry, of
Columbia, and others. The pres
ence of these distinguished gentle
men and their manly utterances
have been an inspiration to the
young people gathered here and
the gentlemen in turn, one and all,
have expressed themselves as
highly gratified with the condition
of things, as they by careful in
spection, saw them. Visitors
from the legislature came out al
most daily and they also expressed
great satisfaction with the institu-
ton and in their enthusiastic
speeches gave the young people
much good advice. Thus from
both races the colored stLdent is
receiving helpful recognition, and
there is every reason to believe
that practical results will follow
from the seed thus sown. Lincoln
Institute is always glad to welcome
visitors and they will always be
we'll received by President Allen
and his faculty.

Schools and Teachers.

The indications are that Lincoln
Institute will receive very liberal
appropriation at the hands of the
present legislature. The faculty
will probably be increased.
The Professional World is in re-
ceipt of copy of the 53rd annual
report of the State Superintendent
of the schools of Missouri. 1t is
one of the most complete we have
ever noticed, and is full of inter-
esting facts and data.
When the time drags during the
school year it is generally the
teachers fault.
The Teachers Association of
Boone and surrounding counties
convened on Saturday, February
18th, at 2 p. m, in the Douglass
school building. The meeting was
instructive and enthusiastic. Of
the many excellent papers read
only brief summary can be given:
Miss Macian Peach read a paper
entitled, "Child Life in Litera-
ture." The beautiful, picturesque
and fascinating in literature, as it
deals with the child, were cited.
There is nothing so universally
attractive and interesting as the
study of child life. She showed
that the earnest teacher should
strive to interest the children, not
only with the best in literature,
but arouse in them a desire to en-
ulate the example of the literary
ideals.
Mrs. j. B. Coleman discussed
the paper in an able manner.
Mrs. M. R. Akers followed with
paper, "An Idea! Teacher"
which furnishedlfood for assimil-
alton as we'll as reflection, and
showing that while neither the
ideal school nor the ideal teacher
exists, but all over this blessed
land of ours there are teachers
following the "gleam," who are
consecrated to their work.
The paper was discussed by Mrs.
V. Walden, followed by Prof. j..
R. Vivion, Prof. j. P. Washington
and Prof. E. w. Emory.
The Association then adjourned,
to meet at the Second Baptist
church at 7 80 p. m.
At the evening session, after the
opening exercises, Mrs. F. M.
Brashears addressed the audience
with words of welcome, which
were responded to by Prof. j. P.
Washington.
Miss Macian Turner then read a
paper entitled, "Method of Pre-
senting Geography to Beginners. "
So simply and clearly was the plan
set forth that the work would be
attractive and interesting to the
dullest pupil. Que point strongly
set forth in her paper was the cul.
tivation of the imagination and
aesthetic nature.
The subject of Prof. j. P. Wash
ington's paper was Purpose
Besides being production worthy
of much praise for literary taste
it was highly appreciated by the
audience. The writer earnestly
stated the purpose of life, oul
opportunities and the sublime re-
alities that we face.

A NATION OF SMOKERS.
The People of Spain Puff Tobacco In.
ooss0ntly and in All Sorts
of Places.

Although one often hears that the
tobacco habit prevails universally in
Spain it is impossible to know how
general that habit is until one visits
there, says a London paper. People
smoke necessarily, under all condi-
tions, at all hours and in all places
excepting the church. Men smoke in
the railway carriages; they smoke in
all the tram cars; they smoke in all
the minor theaters; they smoke in all
the restaurants, in the hotel dining
rooms, and, of course, in the cafes.
In the business Office the merchant
and his clerks smoke. In shops the
shopman, while trying to sell goods
to lady, will stop to roll cigar
cite, which, when lighted, he will
puff in her face. You see conductors
and drivers of tram cars smoking.
All the hackney cabmen smoke all
the time, while even coachmen and
footmen of private carriages some
times smoke on the box. Beggars ap-
proach you cigarettes in mouth to
whine for aims. If you ask for tick
cts at railway Office the clerk laws
down his cigarette as he hands you
the dingy bits of pasteboard. The
innumerable peddlers all smoke ciga-
rettes all the time. The lower-class
women, including the gypsy women,
smoke freely on the streets.

AUTOMATIC DOCTOR IN PARIS.
Furnished by Penny-in-s Slot
A00hla00, -

It is probable that the climax Of
the automatic supply craze has been
reached by the company which is
about to install penny-in-the-slot ma
chimes, called "everybody's DOCTOR"
on the boulevards and principal thor
oughfares, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Each machine is to have 12 slots,
which means that not only the rene
dies, but also the prescriptions for 12
different ailments, such as toothache,
indigestion, cold in the head and
nerves." will be Forthcoming for the
ubiquitous penny.
The faculty of medicine has grant
ed the system a certificate, and there
is CONSERVATION among Partisan doc
tors. One doctor said:
''It will lead to all sorts OF COM
plications. People who are suffering
pain have not always their wits at
command, and it Is quite conceivable
that many people will TAX the op-
posite drugs to those they require.
l can see man who is half blind
with biliousness putting his penny
in the wrong slot and swallowing a
cure for influenza. That is certainly
what will happen, and then those ma
chimes will be rallied at just as many
a doctor is when he happens to make
q mistake"

The enlisted force of the navy dur.
ing the coming year is expected tc

sausages and IA 600 pounds of sauer-
kraut. This is part of the new navy
ration, for the component parts Of
which contracts are shortly to be
awarded covering one years supplies,
deliverable at the various navy yards
and stations. The schedules for these
provisions have been prepared in the
bureau of supplies and accounts, and
it has been one Of the interesting
estimates of that bureau to figure
out the amount of subsistence of this
class which will probably be con-
sumed on shipboard. says the Army
and Navy Register. The aggregate
supplies, in addition to the 100000
pounds of frankfurters and the 144,-
600 pounds of sauerkraut are as fol-
lows: 1,15O,OOO pounds of fresh beef,
