DR.. Bryson, there are two feeble mind
ed persons to every thousand inhabi-
tants, and to every five hundred there
are five or six children not capable Of
being educated by the ordinary methods
of instruction. Feeble minded children,
she adds, are generally fond of music,
"can often sing. even when unable to
talk, can play on some musical instru-
ment alone or with Others" For such
she recommends special physical ex-
ercises, which tend to awaken the ere
ative faculties of the mind.
The symptoms OF the sub-normal
mind cannot be classified, from the
very nature of things, as are the ac-
tions of a normal child. what con-
stitutes a backward, or deficient,
child?' asks DR.. Bryson. How can
you tell one when you see one? Not in
an offhand way; yet there is some
thing that stamps the child as different
from his fellows. The lack of COM
mand over himself suggests illness to
the inexperienced. Some, perhaps
many of the stigmata of degeneration
may be present, physical signs of i'm
perfection, that lead the observer to
infer the quality of the individual. The
roof of the mouth may be high and mar
row, the teeth irregular and mis- -shap-
en-, the lobe of the ear attached to
the side of the head, the arms too long
in proportion to bodily height, or the
hands and feet may show abnormali- :
ties of structure
"At the same time, it must be re-
membered that it is not how a child
looks that Classics him, but what he
does, what he is, what he loves and
seeks"

the number seven, in the Bible. First
came the seven days of the week, and
the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made, and God blessed
the seventh day and sanctified it,"
Then, there was Pharoahs dream in
which he saw seven fat kline come up
out of the river and seven other kline,
iii favored and lean fieshed,'' which
also came up out of the river and de-
voured the fat kline. And there was
that other dream of Pharoahs in which
he beheld seven ears of corn come up
on one stalk, frank and good" and
seven thin ears which devoured the
good ones.
Joseph's Interpretation gave further
significance to the number seven. For
he interpreted the dreams to mean that
there should be seven years of plenty
and afterwards seven years of famine.
Then there were the seven priests who
were commanded to march around Jer-
icho for seven days blowing upon sew
en- rams horns. They went around
seven times and on the seventh day
the walls fell down and victory was
theirs. Naarran was commanded by
Elisha to battle seven times in the riv-
er Jordan and he did SO and was cured
of his leprosy.
Seven Their Salvation
And so. when the trustees began to
raise the fund for the church, only
7-cent contributions were asked. Then
somebody interested in the erection of
the church thought of the apostle on
the island of Patmos who, on the Lords
day, had a wonderful vision and saw
one like unto the "Son Of Man" stand
ing in the midst of seven golden can
dlesticks, and having seven stars in
his right hand, and the Interpretation
thereof was that the seven golden can
dlesticks were the seven churches and
the seven stars in his right hand were
the seven angels of the churches.
Therefore seven of the women of the
church were appointed to impersonate
the seven angels that they might take
the name of every man, woman and
child, asking from each cents.
OF course, everybody who made con-
tributions toward the erection of the

N PPORTUNITIES for days out
ting during the spring, summer
and fall present themselves in
such quantity to the mind of a ST.
Paul resident that his only embarrass-
ment is that of selection. So great is
the variety of alIuring and adjacent
resorts on lake and on river, beside the
prairie or amid the woods, that the
local recreation seeker forgets what
mountains are or what the sea has
been.

TO augment this surplus of resorts
the suggestion should be rendered that
pleasure seekers with bicycles. horses

viii Organize a League.

The truck growers of South Mis-
sisssippi have started a movement to
organize themselves into a Truck
Growers League, to promote truck
farming and unity the interests of
the growers of fruits and vegetables.
The truck growing interests have in
creased so rapidly in the piney woods
section of the State during the past
few years that local truck growers
associations have been organized in
almost every community. 1t is now
proposed to organize Southern
Truck Growers League. A man
will be placed at the head of this
league and paid on a commission
basis. 1t will be his duty to consign
shipments to the best possible mar
ket, and to convey them to honest
and reputable commission houses
and to secure prompt settlements
for goods delivered. The objects of
the league will be to diversity crops,
classify the products, the best ways
and means of packing and shipping,
better knowledge of truck farming,
including the adaptability of soil,
fertilizers and methods of cultiva-
ton.

Curiosity Aroused,

There is pending in the senate
now the appointments of three men,

The retiring members of the board
are P. f. Williams, of Lumberton ;
James Gillespie, of Greenwood, and
Charles A. Gordon, of Port Gibson.
1t is not believed that any of the
gentlemen named have been reap
pointed. Owing to the views of the
governor on negro education there is
considerable curiosity manifested.
