RURAL SCHOOL DELIVERY.

Carroll county has been agitat-
ing the movement to consolidate
the country schools of the county
and reduce the number from 1O5
TO sixty.
The first place where this has
materiaiized is at Sand Hill, eight
miles northeast of Carrollton, in
a prosperous farming district. A
farm was rented to provide work
for a team of horses and driver
during school hours, and with
these large omnibus was pur-
chased to haul pupils to and from
the school. morning and evening.
where they lived too far away to
attend otherwise. TWENTY-FIVE
children find accommodation on
this mammoth car. Three other
private vehicles are running, and
instead of school of seventy-five
pupils in attendance, there are
now 175, and this advance move
ment in education, together with
the telephone connections and ru-
raj mail delivery routes, have al
most revolutionized rural life and
greatly ameliorated the conditions
in that section. The new school
is the only one in the county, and
no other one has been reported in
this section, but it has attracted
such widespread attention, and
brought so many prominent edu-
Gators to inspect it's working and
in return praise 1t that it bids fair
to be forerunner of many such

Max O'ReII's Adder.

During his tour through Australia
many years ago death was once close
upon Max 0'Rell, as 1t seemed to him
at the time. Lying in bed one night in
a bush hosiery, worried by mosquitoes
and thinking of the snakes against
which he had been warned, he became
aware of the presence alongside of him
of cold, treacherous snake, probably
a death adder, as it was only about
three feet long. Death from the bite
of this playful adder is rapid and pain
less, and the Frenehman recorded aft
erward his reflection that 1t was bet
ter perhaps to die that way than by
govt or rheumatism. After an hour Of
agony, however, he slipped out of bed,
struck light and went about the room
searching for the walking stick he had
carried especially for defense against
reptiles. After a weary and nervous
hunt he found 1t at last among the dis
ordered bedclothes.

to have some idea that it is not good

The sloth bear is another animal
given to this failing The natives of
India are in the habit of hanging little
vessels on the palm trees for the pur-
pose of catching the Juice. This juice
is so attractive to the sloth bear that,
although such a poor climber, he will
scramble up and go on drinking the
juice until he is so drunk that he can
only slip helplessly to the ground and
lie there In drunken stupor until the
effects have passed off.
But the sloth bear is not the only
animal who is so partial to this juice
of the palm tree. The curious fruit Tor

combination of beast and bird, with its
foxlike face, reddish. furry body and

quiverlng down to the very tips, will
fly to these vessels in company with
some hundreds of his companions and
they will suck the juice until the
ground below the tree will be dark

lie there too helplessly intoxicated to
move or defend themselves no matter
what may turn up.
