SCHOOL NOTES.

visited three schools last week,
Connely school. taught by Miss
Kerr OF Mckinney; Gilleland, taught
by Miss Ruth EsteS, and Rowan,
taught by Prof. and Mrs. Rogers.
At Connolly we found the school
house freshly painted inside and
out and fairly we'll furnished At
Cilleland we find rather a poor
house and is poorly furnished, but
their funds have been limited here
tofore. Since the Commissioner
Court has enlarged the district they
will be enabled another year to i'm
prove their school building. Row
an school has a commodious and
comfortable building, but is still de-
fclent in furniture and apparatus.
This is splendid school, having
already enrolled over 90 pupils,
There is a marked Improvement
this year not only in the condition
OF the school buildings but also in
the attendance and the interest on
the part OF both pupil and patton.
But after having visited several
schools in the county We desire 10
make the following suggestions as
general and not Personal; We find
lack OF system and thoroughneSs
in the work and some teachers who
have good literary qualifications
Seem to be wanting in methods and
management. We think it mis-
take 10 allow pupils to BE- continual
ly moving about the room during
school hours. Pupils should not be
allow d to disturb a recitation BY
asking for help on a lesson. 1t is
much better 10 have them note the
word or example, and await the
close OF the recitation when the
teacher can pass 10 their desk and
direct the pupil how TO overcome
his difficulty or reproVe him for
asking for help when he could have
found way out OF the difficulty
without help. Pupils should be
taught to think, to be Selt-reliant
and systematic.

All teachers are urgently requested
TO attend. Trustees and friends of

meet with US and to take a part in
the discussions.
The Institute will open at 10 a.

session. The program will be pub

1t must have been rather disconcert-

conjunction with Sir George Staunton
he held meeting at hotel which
was but dimly lighted at each end by

wit of Horne rooke

1t is said that Horne Tooke, who ex-
celled in that duellike controversy ex-
hibited by two disputants when pitted
against each other with only the
breadth of mahogany board between
them, was exceedingly quick and sharp
at retort. When he made his most
deadly thrusts, it was with smiling
countenance and without seeming ef-
fort or emotion. Replying to man
who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections,
he said, pray tell me how many acres
does 1t take to make a wiseacrew
When asked by George III. whether he
ever played cards, he replied, II can
not, your majesty. tell king from a
knave." What can be more uniquely
comic than his saying to his brother:

verified the laws of nature You have
risen In the world by your gravity, and
have fallen by my levity ?"-Saturday

DOCTORS IN CHINA.


They Feast Themselves Before They
Physic Their Patients.
When man in China becomes Ill, his
family sends for doctor, and as no
Chinese physician of established repu-
tation will walk to patient n carriage
or a donkey must be sent to fetch him.
AS soon as he reaches the house he Is
conducted into the best room and Is en-
tertained with tea, brandy and sweet
meats; or, if he has come good dis
lance, with q meal of several courses.
No matter how i'll his patient may be
he will not approach him until he has
thoroughly refreshed himself in this
manner.
When ut last he goes to his bedside,
he first asks the patient if he is still
able to eat, and he next examines his
pulse. After the patient has barred his
entire forearm the physician places his
finger on the pulse and for several mo-
ments does not utter word. Some
times only one of his fingers and Mt
other times all of them are employed
| at this work. When he breaks his ST.
lence he describes infinitely the disease
from which the patient is suffering and
writes prescription.
Then the doctor takes his leave,
promising to call again If necessary.
He receives, as rule, no fee for this
service, but if he is druggist he
charges large price for the medicine,
or if he is not druggist he receives q
satisfactory commission from the one
who prepares 1t. Moreover, the patient,
if he RECEIVERS, generally gives him q
handsome present.

His Friend Gennrex.

The following story, told by the
Washington Post, leads us to wonder
which to condemn first, the booster or
his critics. 1t concerns certain man
who has a large collection Of auto
graphs.
Indeed, the envy and sometimes the
skeptcism of his friends have been ex-
cited by the number Of successful au-
thors who have set down familiar and
fiattering inscriptions in his books
Some carpers have even gone so far
as to hint darkly at similarity Of
handwriting throughout the collection.
He recently purchased rare edition
of Chaucer, and one evening when q
party was gathered at the house the
precious book was passed from hand
to hand. The owner lost sight of it,
but the next morning he found it lying
on his library table.
On the fly leaf was inscribed:
ITO Jack -, from his old friend and
schoolmate, Geof. Chaucer."

The Scotch Sunday.

AS an instance of the observance of
the Sabbath in Scotland, an English
paper tells of postman having route
between Stirling and Blairdrummond.
He was observed to ride bicycle over
his six miles on weekdays and to walk
the same distance on Sunday, and when
asked why he replied that he was
not allowed to use the machine ON Sun
day. An investigation followed, and
the postman's explanation proved to
be correct.

1t takes great soul to be true

forget much, forbear much. 1t costs to
be friend or to have friend. There
is nothing else in life except mother
hood that costs so much. 1t not only
costs time, affection, strength, patience,
