CHANGES ORDERED.
Action Taken by Trustees Of Girls Re
form School,

The board of trustees Of the girls re-
form school has approved Of certain
changes in the personnel of the faculty of
the institution in line with the system of
management introduced by Mrs. Winifred
j. Burroughs, the superintendent who was
appointed last November. Mrs. Margaret
OBrien, the matron. has rendered her resg-
nation, and her successor will be named
by the board as soon as the qualifications
OF the applicants can be passed upon. 1t is
stated to be possible also that Miss Flor
ence v. Russell. teacher at the school,
win resign in the near future.
A member of the board stated today that
these changes are not the result of the
so-caled mutiny in the institution last
fall, but are merely a part OF the new
plans for the government of the institu-
ton Miss Russell has been teacher In
the school for nine and half years and
has several times been acting superintend-
ent. She is regarded as Il most efficient
member of the faculty. Mrs. OBrien IS
also said to have a very good record Ia the
capacity of matron.
The regular meeting of the board of
trustees was held week ago. Among me
business matters disposed of was the APP
pointment of Alexander Perry, as labor
err to fill a vacancy.
Mr.. Chapin Brown president of the board,
sees no reason for believing that the insti-
tuition has been improperly conducted, as
has been animated in some sources sinca
the disturbance of last fall when a num-
Der of the girls broke away and threatened
bodily harm to the teachers.
The committee which has been investigat-
ing the reform school at the suggestion OF
Commissioner mcfarland has not compiet-
ed its work. The investigation is still pro-
ceeding but with the utmost secrecy, ana
is understood to be independent Of the
direction of the trustees. Why the public
is not permitted 70 know the results lr
methods of the work has not been dis
closed.

Drin king Hot Water.

There are four classes OF persons
who should not drink large quantities
Of hot water: First, people who have
irritability of the heart. Hot water
will cause palpitation Of tho heart In
such cases. Second. persons with d.
lated stonachs. Third. persons ar
fiicted with sour stomachs. Fourth,
PERSONS who have soreness Of the stOm
ach or pain induced ny light pressure:
These rules are not for those who take
hot water simply to relieve thirst but
as q means of washing out the stom-
ach. Hot water will relieve thirst bet
ter than cold water and for that pur-
pose is not to be condemned. But hot
water Is an excitant and In cases In
which irritation Of the stomach exists
should be avoided.

South Carolina" The word "Caro-
lima" Is pleasing to the ear and is In
its American application Of historic
significance. The early colony was
named from the Latin In honor Of
Charles H.. who made the original
grant to the eight lords proprietors in
1863. 1t is therefore particularly dis
tasteful to South Carolinians to hear
their state referred to as South Cali
ma" and themselves Of "South Ca
leenians" Such corruptions Of the two
words are totally ineXcusable. Let the
crew of the "South Car-o-li-na' be
trained in the proper pronunciation Of
the name. and perhaps in time north

men of the ship will catch the habit.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Ants Which Eat Rock.

The engineers in charge Of a tele-
graph line at Hongkong were surpris-
ed recently by the discovery that about
seven miles Of their cable, though it
was well protected and laid under
ground in a concrete trough, had been
severely damaged. For the greater
part of the length oval holes had been
bored quite through the casing down
to the copper wire itself.
1t was agreed that insects must have
though What Kind of insects was not
obvious. 1t might be possible to find
one which enjoys perforating lead. But
these insects seemed to have drilled
sage, but by way Of making a meal
They had taken q dinner Of six courses,
consisting first Of tarred rope, then Of
lead, then of twisted rope, then Of tape
then Of hemp fiber and lastly Of india
rubber. The copper strand had been
too much for them.
Portions Of the damaged cable were
sent to the Natural History museum
with hope that some opinion might
be given, and the oracle replied that
A2sere could be very little doubt that
the damage was caused by white ants.
Specimens Of their peculiar forms Of
appetite and industry are kept in the
museum, which show not only that
they will eat lead, but will also bore
