The seriied trees stand bare and hold.
Where crimson leaves and yellow gold
Robe richly every bosky dell.
And Ceres signing that her spell
Has ended waves a long farewell
Across the hills

The robin. bluebiTd and the thrush
Have left behind the woodiapds hush
Like as the pensive. pray erfui fines
When some cathedral's sacred chimes
Have stiiled to mem'ry echoed rhymes.

Women Sold by Auction.

An auction Of unmarried ladies used
to take place annually in Babylon. In
every district they assembled on GER
tain day Of every year all the virgins
Of marriageable age. The most re-
markable was first put up, and the
man who bid the largest sum Of money
gained possession Of her. The second
in personal appearance followed, and
the bidders gratifed themselves with
handsome wives according to the depth
Of their purses. But, alas, it seems
that there were in Babylon some ladies
for whom no money was likely to be
offered, yet these also were disposed Of,
so provident were the Babylonians.
When all the beautiful virgins were
sold, the crier ordered the most de-
formed to stand up, and after he had
openly demanded who would marry
her with q small sum she was at
length adjudged to the man who would
be satisfied with the least, and in this
manner the money arising from the
sale Of the handsome served as por-
ton to those who We're either Of dis
agreeable looks or that had any other
imperfection. This custom prevailed
about 500 years before Christ.-New

BIRTH OF THE BUS.
This Class Of Vehicle First Appeared
IN Paris In lG62.

This Class Of Vehicle First Appeared
IN Paris In 1G62.
The omnibus appeared in Paris IN
1862 as "carrosse cinq sous" coach
for twopence halfpenny), by authority
of Louis XIV, under the management
Of Pascal, the mystic and philosopher.
Whether this eminent thinker originat-
ed the idea is not clear, but there is no
doubt that his influence assisted in the
establishment Of the service under the
auspices of a royal decree.
Later on these earliest omnlbuses
ceased to run owing to lack Of support,
and did not reappear in Paris until
1927, when Laftte, the banker, who
was among the largest proprietors,
was credited with originating the re-
viyed service.
The new coaches started to ply in
London on July 4, 1929, when the first
one left Paddington for the Bank OF
England, and another ran from the
bank to the Yorkshire Stingo, New
road. These first British busses were
known from the man who organized
them as "Shillibeers," and the conduc-
tors Of the first two are said to have
been the sons Of British naval officers.
Three horses drew them, and they car
ried twenty-five passengers, all inside.

JOHN BANlSTER.
An English violinist Who Won Fame
In the Seventeenth Century.

In the Seventeenth Century.
Public concerts owe their direct en-
courasement to John Banister, who
had won fame by his playing on the
violin and who succeeded the cele-
brated Baltzar as leader of Charles II. 8
band of twenty-four violins. Pepys, in
an entry in his diary for February,
1GG7, tells us the court gossip OF the
day-"how the kings viallin Banister
is mad that the king hath French
man come to be chief of some part OF
the kings musiQue.'
Banister's concerts at the close of the
year 1872 were advertised in the Lon
don Gazette as follows: These are to
give notice that at Mr. John Banister's
house (now called the Musick School,
over against the George tavern IN
White Fryers, the present Monday will
be musick performed by excellent mas
ters, beginning precisely at 4 Of the
clock in the afternoon, and every after
noon for the future precisely at the
same hour"
-Four years later on we read again:
"At the Academy IN Little Lincoln's
Inn Fields will begin the first part OF
the Farley Of Instruments, composed
by Mr.. John Banister." The admission
was at this time as q rule shilling,
and these concerts seem to have been
held pretty regularly down to within a
short time Of Banister's death, which
took place in 1679.-Chambers Journal.

Pitts Fondness For Port.

The ruin of Pitts health was at

hands shook so much that when he

Taken With Cramps.

VIM. Kirmse, member of the bridge
gang working near Littleport was taken
suddenly i'll Thursday night with
cramps and kind of cholera. His case
was so severe that he had to have the
members of the crew wait upon
him and Mr.. Clifford was called and
consulted. He told them he had a
medicine in the form of Chamberlain;s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
that he thought would help him out
and accordingly several doses were ad-
ministered with the result that the fel-
low was able to be around next day.
The incident speaks quite highly OF

beauty of country life, and the growing
advantages, with telephones, mail de-
liveries, and libraries, have peculiar
charms for the scholar and the thinker.
The present indications are that within
this decade country school teaching in
South Carolina-so long held in disre-
pute-will be recognized as choice
profession. Already six to nine hun
dred dollars year. with little expense
for living is not an infrequent salary.
Professor Wardlaw's men readily find
desirable places, and the demand for
such men insreases each year.
The courage of study is specially de-
signed'to improve the public schools.
Last year it included besides the usual
subjects, special instruction in peda-
gogics. physics, nature study,and draw
ing, and the course for next year has
been enlarged and improved and will
include sight singing. The students
had the benefit of observation and prac-
tice under a critic teacher, and next
session will practice teaching in the
Bolumbia public schools, having the
benefit of the supervision and critl-
cisms of Columbia S best teachers.
The better to impress the school
spirit and aroose the young men to i
sense of the dignity and magnitude of
their profession, there will be series
of lectures by leading school superin-
tendents and principals. Thus this body
of young teachers will combine theory
and practice in their studies and every
two or three weeks will be stimulated
by special message from some notable
educator freih from daily contact with
the practical problems of the school
room.
1t is thus that the College is seeking
to execute the wise plan of the legisia-
ture for improving the common schools
of the State and raising see standard of
citizenship. Assembling within her
walls and at the seat of State govern.
ment annually eighty-two young men
teachers from the forty-one counties OF
the State, inspiring and broadening
them by contact with students from all
sections Of the State and all spheres of
life, strengthening their State pride
and their unity of spirit with the best
traditions of the State the South Caro-
lima College will teach them how to
study and how to live. and how to teach,
and will leave upon them her mark as
men and gentlemen.

HATS OF STRAW.
China Gets the Credit For Having
First Made Them.

China Gets the Credit For Having
First Made Them.
The earliest makers Of straw hats
were unquestonably the Chinese.
Their work was by no means rough
in character, but plated and sewn to-
gether with considerable Skill as may
be seen today in the neighborhood OF
Canton.
In Europe hats were first made in
Paris by Swiss so early as 14O4, and
we find mentioned among the entries
Of an inventory Of the effects Of Sir
John Fastolfe, 1859, flour sraWen
hattes," showing them to have been
great rarities. Coryatt mentions them
as worn in Provence, with a hundred
seams, lined with silver and curlously
worked.
Tuscany, with Leghorn as a center,
took up the work early in the fifteenth
century and has maintained it with
considerable skill ever since. Bedford
shire, with Dunstable and Luton as
centers, has been the headquarters OF
the industry in England ever since the
early part Of the seventeenth century.

A Story OF Matt Carpenter.

Matt Carpenter, the famous Wis
consin senator, was pleading case be-
fore the supreme court. Before be had
got half through with his argument the
judges had made up their minds that
his case was without merit, and, more
over, that he was unprepared. When
he finished his argument and counsel
for the other side got up to reply, the
judges whispered to each other, nodded
and then the chief justice said, II don't
think it will be necessary to hear from
you, sir" Carpenters opponent was
deaf, and he could only tell that the
chief justice was addressing him. He
turned to Carpenter for aid. What
did the chief justice say, Matt" he
whispered. "He said he'd rather give
you the case than listen to you," Car
penter bawled in his ear.
