trated With Drawings, Maps,
and Statistics.

Az interesting feature of the com
mcncement at the Business High School

diagrams, and accompanying data many
interesting facts are given concerning

have been written upon various sub
Jects, and these are accompanied by
charts. maps. and figures illustrating
subjects treated.
An essay on the airship includes pic
lures of Prof. Langley, his airship, and
scenes OF Underwater, Va, where the
test was made some months ago.
Several classes are included in the es-
says; agricultural products. animal in
dustry, and matters of national and in

It seems strange In these days Of

they nave come TO be scarcely consider

most unconsciOusly by people who would
scorn TO be called '.superstitfOus." and
declare themselves absolutely practical

Another Peculiar Instance.


An interesting story Of a graver error
OF this kind IS as follows: Some years
ago a man Of middle age. Of good natur-
al abilities and strong. athletic build.
who was by no means destitute Of euI-
tivation, was noticed wearing a small
box suspended from his neck by a card
Upon being question he gave the follow
ing reason for wearing 81:

of whom. as they arrived at the age of
maturity, Sickened and died of consump-
ton. Just twelve months elapsed be-
tween the different burials until eleven
sons and ~daughters were laid in the

I had just attained majority. The SYM
pathies Of the people around US were
strongly excited. When the grave was
being dug for Joel. some OF our friends
opened n coffin of the next older child.
and found the body as fresh and fair
as II the soul had just departed. AS
each brother or sister died they fed upon
the life Of the next in age. Dur friends
then urged upon my parents and myself
the necessity Of burning the heart Of
my brother and wearing the ashes upon
my person. as the only means Of saving
me from a similar fate. But. of course,
/ could not consent 10 such a thing.
and he was buried.
Two months passed away.and I could
no longer conceal from my anxious pa
rents the ravages Of disease. They again
urged the burning Of the heart Of my
brother as being their only hope. and as
| continued to resist. my mother called
