Healthful Exercise.

Nov listen, young folks, for want to
have plain old fashion chat with you. l
love to talk with my young friends because
! like them and delight Ia the companion
ship Of the young itmakes me feel young
and active again, and when i'm Fly, Bill
and Dave are In full CRY after one of our
mountain foxes, 1t is then l can holler as
keen ~ the whistle Of steam engine. Fox
hunting is one Of the most healthy and in
vigoratins sports shatI know Of. Ibelisve
that II our sickly oonsumptives would turn
hunter and take more out-of-door exercise,
not one would die Of consumption. Have
you ever noticed that children who are al
lowed to run, rip and play in all kinds Of
weather are the most healthy and robust !
Modern society has placed sban on girls
ot sixteen which requires them to give up
their dolls and play -hopse,, put on long
dresses, make her debut In society, marry
die and 90 % anasarly grave. Ny idea Is
70 let our girls ron, skip and whistle Il We
would have them styong and healthy. We
should pro,scs out i'm from fashionable
society and pos slloH them to become iss
slaves Yo1sS psollS open air exercise i
conducive % 36pr health and you should
III take dail exercise and be strong and
rosy. Girls, bettsr relaiu your freedom
and play base ball and run foos races sk1n'
surrender your health to modern ways and
ideas. You can be lady and retain your
beauty much better by following the above
suggestions than BY resorting to cosmetics
I have known girls, way back in the sos
and COS to dance every set throughout a
long winter night and many OF those girls
are living today and stout, healthy old
ladies they are too. 1t was exercise aud
their manner Of living that gave them such
a splendid constitution. There is a great
difference between the times OF now and
then. Fashion has get in Its deadly work
and cut of much Of the real pleasures Of
life. Parents ought never TO curtsil the
playful disposition Of their daughters nor
their rollicing qualities for 1t is not unlady
like neither does It do any harm. Don't
harness them to the heavy wheel Of fashion
able dignity, but let them be Jolly girls all
their lives. Uncle Tom.

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court on the question OF the constitutions
ality Of the act passed by the last
Legislature redistricting several Of the
East Tennessee counties, paS the way for
much needed reform in our county court
system, system that is a drawback to
each individual county and TO the State.
That our present system is too cumbrous,
unwieldy and full OF extrayagance, every
loyal and thinking citizen will, at once,
agree and so disguised are the people of
Tennessee with its inadequacy, wasteful-
ness and ineffieiepey that many OF the
counties will, in the next Legislature, take
| advantage Of the decision of the Supreme
Court, A system having such horde Of
incompetent benefciaries will be hard to
reform when such reform is brought about
by reduction in their number but the
people, in this progressive age, are growing
tired Of such antiquated and inefficient
methods Of conducting the affairs of the
county and the next Legislature will wit
ness the redistricting Of many counties Of
the State. Manchester Times.

Judged by His Voice.

One day Sir Algernon West, q wHN
known member Of parliament fronI
London, was observed by one Of the
doorkeepers talking to gentleman
who had a rasping, raucous voice and n
demonstrative, excited manner. While
the conversation was in progress Sir
Algernon received the card of another
member of parliament and an lntima-
ton that itSownGr wished to see him.
Sorry; I'm engaged was the answer
Next moment up came another card
from q we'll known peer. Again an
apology was returned. In another min
ute the doorkecper came carrying a
huge card and saying that the lord
mayor and sheriffs Of London wished
very urgently to see Sir Algernon. The
latter excused himself from the gentle
man with whom he was convcrSing.
This was too important to resist.

Architecture was next taken up
by Prof. MCGOWAN.
Every school house should have
a hall for cloaks etc. Seats should
by all means be single.
No windows should be In rear of
house. Should be arranged so as
to be easily raised or lowered.

and properly protected.
Every school room should have
a great deal of black board space.
Also about stoves being located In
one end of the house where 1t
warmed only In spots. Trustees
and the teacher should see that all
briars and weeds are cut down.
Make the place pleasant. 1t IS to

Mr.. Craig member of the Board
from Union District was present In
the afternoan. He spoke of the
condition of some school houses In
! his district. Some comparatively
new houses were not fit to feed
pigs In. Many broken seats were
piled up in the coal house. Such a
people do not deserve a school
house. The walls were covered
with tobacco juice. He then con-
trasted the school at Big Buffalo.
The teacher who taught the
school In Union that was In such q
bad condition was permitted to
vindicate himself.
The trustees had permitted
every little show that came along
to have the school. Church was
held In 1t. Five and six would
crowd into one seat consequently
1t had to 60.
Mr.. Moore also spoke In behalf
of Mr.. Goodrich saying the house
was located In a mud hole. He
blamed the Board for making such
location when a good one might
have been had within a quarter Of
a mile. Mr.. Craig said he did not
blame the teacher for all this the
trustees were to blame for permit
ting shows and church to be held
In the building.
The days session closed by
discussion of the compulsory school
laws.
Teachers should enforce the law
then legislature will have heart to

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

The chemical forces are nearer akin
TO the vital forces than to the physical
forces.
A body weighing one pound on earth
would weigh twenty-seven and a half
pounds upon the sun.
The mechanical force Of the sound
emitted from 100000 to 100000
comets would equal but one horse
power.
The highest speed which matter has
been known to reach is that attained
by the eruption Of hydrogen and other
gases from the sun, which is at times
several hundred miles second.
The star Sirius, which is shown to be
about double the size Of our sun, emits
from forty to sixty fold more light than
the sun owing to its matter being much
uore diffused.
Two hundred and eighty stars north
of 20 declension have a velocity
through space OF twenty miles per sec
ond The speed of our solar system l.
but 1914 miles per second.
The most delicate scale IS made b[
fixing one end Of a fine thread Of glass.
The atom to be weighed is Nlaced at the
free end and the degree IF the bendin-
of the thread under It noted. This h.
to be done under lass which magni

Thursdays Session.

Opening exercises consisted Of
singing The Red, White and Blue
Prayer by W. L. MCGOWAN.
1t seems to be the custom OF
some teachers to be absent as much
as possible. Some are always tardy
Teachers expect the pupils to obey
implicitly the rules they lay dowr
for the government of their schools
yet they dlsobey the laws with I'm
punity that are made to govern
them. This Is both morally anc
legally wrong. The State pays
them 81 so per day for their atten
dance. Then the State further pays
ten to fifteen dollars per day fol
