schools, superintendent Welch SAYS in
his report:
'While / have no hesitancy in say
ing that the best schools in our state
are to be found here and there in the
rural districts, and that the graded
schools in our larger towns and cities
can afford no such favorable condi-
tons for elementary instruction as are
to be found in the rural districts, yet
it is equally true that our rural schools
are not as good as they should be. The
early age at which the farmers boys
and girls must assume respon sibilitv
in repairing and operating the compli-
Gated machinery employed in farming
operations their interest and RESPONSE
bility IN the care of farm stock. coupled
with their close touch with nature,
make them close observers and
mentally active and alert students.
The farmers children are the most
promising subjects for the eastern
teacher, and if our country schools
fail to average as good as our city
schools the responsibility therefor must
be divided between the school officers
and teachers OF the country schools.
$50 far as school officers are con-
cerned they are oftentimes at fault in
not paying sufficient wages to secure
hrst class teachers, or in not retaining
the services of good teachers when
found; however, we know that IN some
Instances trustees have not the means
at their command to do this. 1t takes
time and costs money for teacher to
properly qualify himself for his work,
and unless wages are good, and unless
teachers are reasonably sure of contin-
uous service, we may be sure that the
number of really educated and profess
siOnally well trained teachers will be
relatively small, and the very best in
tellect is driven from our ranks. Men
and women who are really well pre-
pared know their own worth and un-
less they are we'll compensated for their
services will leave the profession of
and enter a field that has

AN HISTORIC SNUFF BOX
 IN MONTGOMERY.

There has recently come into the pos session of the Episcopal Diocese of Ala l bama an article of great beauty. value and interest.
 It Is a gold snuff-box large and mas sive three inches wide by four broad 1 and an inch deep. richly embossed and | engraved. The gold alone is said to be worth $35o.
 The box was willed to the Diocese by the late Mrs. John E. Moore, the same who willed also the money for the cree tion of a John F. Moore memorial homo which the Diocese gave to the Confeder ate Soldiers Homo at Mountain Creek
 The box Is kept in the vault of a local hank for safety. It was once the prop erty of Pope Plus TX.
 The history of the box is written fin Italian, and Is preserved within. The following is the translation
 '"The box was originally given by Ma poleon I to person of high rank. thought 10 be the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris; after q long time it was sold and the name of the person to whom Napo- leon gave 1t, was taken oY. The box was bought by Pope Plus TX for 5375 francs and presented by him to Prince Mass!mo, father of the present prince. This box was highly appreciated by Prince Masslmo as of great artistic~yalue and kept by him and showed on all oc- caaons, as a rare and curious work of art. At his death his son inherited an Immense fortune, and three millions of francs in gold. Although a married man with three daughters. and a man of 50 years of age. this son of the old Prince to whom the Pope gave the box. con tracted the relationship of wife @ with a woman. on whom he spent not only the three millions in money EShlch he had inherited. but part of the family jewels. and several landed estates. Then the box was put in a bank or pawn brokers shop for 750 francs 10 be forfeited in four months if the 75o francs was not paid. It was not paid and the box was sold to Mir. Herbert at Hotel Costanza, an Amer ican, for 800 francs. This gentleman bought 1t to present to Cardinal Sanfellce on the occasion when the Pope Leo XIII nominated him Cardinal: but having seen that other persons had presented to the Cardinal gold boxes. and although his box was superior to the others he felt a delicacy in presenting it. and gave in- stead a ring set with diamonds and sap phires and having no use for the box consented to sell it at the price he gave, viz, 500 francs
