a very ancient structure. and Is sup
posed by some to date from the end

It may. there was a grant By charter
In 1896 for the upkeep Of bridge on
the same spot, and in 1491 the struc-
ture was under repair when James Nv.
passed through Ayr on his way to
Whithorn. The new bridge was com
menced in 1856, when Burns wrote the
poem, and the warning In the verses
was justified. as In 1879 this bridge
had to be rebuilt. Since 1867 consid'
cradle sums have been expended on
the upkeep OF the AUD Brig and

No Actor Can be Present at Court.
II anyone at eocial gathering were
to say that an actor or actress cannot
be presented at the English court the
statement would be received with sur
prise and doubt, and yet 1t Is an abso-
lutte fact. When or how the ban was
established need not be dealt with
here, but the old prejudice that in
other centuries put the poor player
outside the pale Of privileged citizen
ship and the sacraments still linger-
ingly survives in the etiquette OF an
unprejudiced court None of the actors
who were honored in the present
Kings or the late Queens reign can,
as the law stands, be presented at
court, although the personal attitude
of the King and the royal family to-
ward the stage is of the very friendli-
est nature. A dramatic author, a COM
poser, lyric writer. and the manager
of theatre are, If otherwise qualified,
eligible to go to court, but the actor.
no matter how high his character, at
tainments and honors, is still in the
eyes of the Lord Chamberlain an un.

Radium and the Evolution Of Matter.
At Prof Rutherford's recent address
on radio-activity, before the physical
Society In London, he said the amount
OF energy given out by radium was
enormous; lit might be calculated that
O gramme OF radium during its life
would give out enough to raise 500
tons a mile. But there was no reason
why such huge stores should be
thought to exist only In radioactive
bodies: they might exist in every atom.
although we had not yet happened to
obtain any knowledge OF their exist
ence." In the discussion which fol-
lowed Sir Oliver Lodge said that In the
phenomena Of radium "the evolution
OF matter seemed to be going on be
fore our eyes. II looked as IL these
atoms being too unstable to persist,
collapsed and threw away bits Of them
selves. This instability Of the
atom was just what ought to result
on the hypothesis--he might say the
certainty--that an atom had electrons
revolving round 1t. and that all It's
parts were in state Of ccmmotion."

A BARGAIN FOR FARMERS.

The Nev York zrI6une Farmer,
national illustrated agricultural
weekly OF twenty large pages, has
no superior AS thoroughly practi-
cal and helpful publication Tor the
farmer and every member of his
family, and the publishers are de-
termined to give it circulation un-
equaled by any paper of its class in
the United States.
Knowing that every enterprising,
up-to-to-date farmer always reads
his own local weekly newspaper,
the NeaO York 7ribune Farmer has
made an exceedingly liberal ar
raugement which enables us to offer
the two papers at SO low price that
no farmer can afford to lose the op-
portunity.
The price of the We7o York Zr-
6Hne Farmer is 81 90 a a year and
THE COLUMBIAN is SI.oo year,
but both papers will be sent for a
full year if you forward $1,a5 to

Send your name and address to
the NeaO York Tribune Farmer, New
York City, and a specimen copy OF
that paper will be mailed to you.

THE HOME.

With all mans enterprise and
ambition in the line of making
money there is nothing which he
gets which is of so much real value
to him as his home. And there is
this good thing about the home
that it does not take so very much
money to make it a pleasant spot.
A man may be rich as the world
goes, have a big bank account,
bonds and mortgages, have fine
house and be envied by his fellows,
but if he be mated to a wife with
an ugly temper or have boys and
girls who go wrong, he. with all
his wealth, connot know what home
is. There are lots of fine houses
and poor homes.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Continued f,om last week.)

At the first session Thursday
morning in the High School DR..
Barnes conducted recitation, into
which the teachers entered with a
spirit that showed a deep interest,
and must have been gratifying to
the able instructor.
At 1880 the institute convened
in Normal Auditorium. and was
opened by music led by Prof. Cogs-
we'll. Rev. Byers of the Lutheran
church conducted devotional exer-
ises, after which Supt. Evans
spoke to the teachers regarding the
expense of the monthly cXamina-
lions, and asked for a consideration
as to the payment of the same. S.
J. Johnston was i'll favor of paying
it out of the Institute funds. To
this, however, thought there would
be some objection because The town.
ships would be contributing to
something in which they had no
share. A. u. Lesher agreed with
Mr.. Johnston, believing that the
townships would cheerfully acqui-
ensce and moved that Sol 90 be
taken out of the institute funds,
which motion was seconded and
carried.
DR.. Barnes then addressed the
teachers on Moral Training" fol-
flowed by a musical exercise led by
Prof. Cogswell.
The " Study of Literature was
next taken up by DR.. Moss, and
continued throughout the morning
session.
In the absence of Supt. Evans,
Prof. Sterner presided at the alter
noon session.
Prof. Cogswell opened with
musical exercise followed by talk
OIL music" He explained very
lucidly the best method of teaching
music, and spoke of it's spiritual,
intellectual and physical value.
DR.. Moss resumed the study of
Literature, taking up Macbeth. !"
He was followed by Prof. Cogs-
well, music, and then Or. Barnes
gave one of his excellent talks on
Children's Political Ideals DR..
Barnes has few equals, as an
instructor. He is so earnest, that
his hearers are drawn to him. His
reasonings are correct and his con-
clusions logical.
In the evening the Catharine
Ridgway Concert Company gave an
excellent entertainment. 1t was a
fitting closing number to one of the
best courses that Columbia County
Teachers have ever had furnished
them.
The final session convened Fri
day morning, and after the regular
musical exercises, the devotional
exercises were conducted by Rev
Hemingway of the Presbyterian
Church.
Supt. Evans spoke briefly, favor
ing memorial to Thaddeus Steven.
and urged every teacher to sub
scribe for the School Journal.
Prof Samuel Pursel expressed 6
desire that all teachers for perma
nent certificates register before

prepared.

valuable suggestions regarding the
teaching of music.
Supt. Evans then introduced DR..
Welsh of the Normal School, who
addressed the institute in his usual
able and pleasing manner.
Prof. Pursel having been called
upon by Supt. Evans, explained
how it was possible to go to St.

contribute a cent to keep alive his
memory.
In speaking of Teachers " DR..
Moss said they should De better

to the fact that the necessary pre-
