Sir--Plesse answer the following
questions III the query column Of the
Weekly Times Dispatch: Since the State
has cut off the college course from the
State school for colored youth at Peters,
burg, where will the State look for
teachers for suetl high schools?
The collegiate course at the Virginia
Normal and Industrial Institute was
abolished by the General Assembly be-
cause only a very few took the course
each year, and because In the opinion

following question in queries and answers:
A man owns certain shares OF stock
in corporation. which. among other
things. runs a store. The shareholder
offers his stock at its market value in
payment OF his store account, with the
company. Can the company refuse to
accept the stock thus offered?
READER.
Certainly, unless there was some spe-
cial stipulation by which tho company
agreed to accept the stock in payment.
The course to pursue would be to sell
the stock at the market value and apply
the proceeds to the debt. Stocks are
not a legal tender.

OF Virginia apportioned equally among
all the school children OF the State, or
do the children Of cities (colorcd as well
as white) receive therefrom "a per head.
while those in the rural Or country dis
tricts only receive 9b cents per head?
The writer has been 80 informed, but
cannot believe such in1uDtice is prac-
tced In Virginia Western vnd North.
ern States make no such distinction, but
cannot say how 1t Is with the Southern
States. Please give this information and
greatly oblige ]. B. j..
The State school funds are apportioned
to the various school divisions In pro-
portion to the number OF children of
school age in each division. The total
amount OF State funds apportloned to
the various school divisions last year was
at the rate Of $1.54 for every child OF
school age In Virginia, and there was no
discrimination whatever between the
counties and cities.
The writer OF the above question has
evidently been miHed byS the fact that
the cities make a much larger approprl-
alton out OF their local treasures for
school purposes than counties do, The
counties receive from the State school
funds n much larger appropriation than
they pay Tor THIS purpose.

The Russian Naval standard.

The Russian naval standard-a blue
flag with white cross-was adopted
by Peter the Great, who stayed for
some months at Gaardam. near Am
sterdam, working as mechanic to
gain knowledge of shipbuilding.
During this time he took a strong
fancy to clever workman named
Cruys, whom he persuaded to return
with him to Russia after lie had reveal
ed to him his true name and position.
Cruys drew the plans for the first
ships built for the Russian navy, and,
to show his appreciation, Peter the
Great made him an admiral and gave
orders that the Russian navy should
thenceforth have special flag with
white cross upon it to perpetuate the
memory of his trusted associate, Cruys
being an old FORM of the Dutch word
for cross.

The Duke and the Barber.

In clden days an English noble enter

apprentice of fourteen that he was no

the reply. But can you shave withou

ed the youth. Very WELL" said thu
duke, while seating himself and load

well before you begin"
After moments reflection the boy
began to make ready and said, I'm moi
afraid of cutting you, sir" and in Q

out II scratch, to the complete suits
faction of the duke. In gentle tones
his grace asked, Were you not afrait
Of having your brains blown out whel
you might have cut me so easily:"
NO, sir; not Mt all, because though
that as soon as should happen to lie

Monopolzing the Public Lands.

Under land acts created in the
interest of capital and not in the in
terest of the settler vast bodies of
land are owned by individuals even
in such States as Illinois, Minnesota,
and the Dakotas, and these lands
are cultivated by tenants, the most
of whom will never become free
holders. But by far the largest
land holdings by single individuals
and companies are found in the arid
States. These have been acquired
to great extent directly from the
States or the nation, and the work
of monopolizing the public lands is
still going OH at an appalling rate.
Single individuals and single for
eign companies are said each to own
from 1 900, 900 to 4, 800, 600 acres ;oi
land in some nf the arid States,
while it is common occurrence for
one man or company to acquire
directly from our Government,
under our present land laws, tracts
of land from 10000 to 100000
acres, and upon many Of these
great ranches it is an unwritten law
that the plow shall not be used, the
owners Of these pastoral estates
preferring to hold them in the same
condition as the Indian and the
Buffalo left them.

The curiou. Limpetn,

The limpets are curious kind Of
shellfsh. They resemble the abalones
in their habits. The interior is made
of the most brilliant colors, bronze and
iridescent hues predominating. They
are found on the west coast of Mexico
and are so large that the people use
them for wash basins.
They are ferocious animals and prey
with great voracity on clans. The
process seems slow, but the limpet al
ways gets there. He gets his cover
over the unsuspecting clam and puts
his big foot on his shell. generally on a
weak spots. Then he whips out long,
wiry tongue and proceeds to bore a
hole in his captive. When this is done
the shell flies open, and the limpet is
J free to feast on the poor CLAIMS car
cass. He eats but part and leaves
th9rest for the, fishes Of the sea.

Roup in the Hen House.

A reader from southeastern Kan
sas writes: 81 have some very fine
specimens of pure bred chickens
that have contracted a disease in the
head. Usually one side of their
heads swell and one of the eyes be-
come infected and finally blindness
cssues. The effected fowls make a
choking sound every ten or fifteen
minutes. Apparently there is moth
ing wrong with the throats Of the
towels but all the trouble seems to
be in the head or eyes. Please in
form me what you think this trouble
is and what remedy to apply"
1t appears to us from the descript-
ion above given that the chickens
are affected with roup. If this is
the case it is good policy to separate
the affected chickens from the well
ones, as the disease is without doubt
contagious. Where the trouble is
very bad it seldom pays to doctor
the chickens, but the better plan
in many instances is to chop their
heads off. However, there are cas-
es where the fowls are valuable OF
where they are but slightly affected,
in which case it pays to cure them
in such cases good results are OBJ
taind by injecting one drop of ker.
osene into each nostril once every
two days until the trouble is cured
In addition to this the chickens
should receive a tonic along with
their food.
A tonic that is recommended to give
excellent results is made by mixing
together one-half ounce of bisulphate
of soda, one-half ounce salicylate Of
soda; two ounces pulverized yellow
gentian:two ounces pulverlzed gin
ger; and one ounce pulverized sui
phate of iron. A pinch of this mix.
ture should be given mixed with the
bran mash or other suitable food fol
each chicken. 1t is also good pla1
to add teaspoonfull of tincture O
iron to each quart Of water and tc
give this for a couple of weeks unit
the affected chickens are fully re
covered.
The chicken house shonld be
thoroughly disenfected, either will
carbolic acid, lime or formaldehyde
A verv convenient way to disenfect
the poultry house is to apply spray
containing one and one-half ounces
of carbolic acid to a quart Of water
AS a general rule roup is brough
about by the chickens catching cold
either from unnecessary exposure o.
from drafts in the poultry house
These things should be carefull,
looked after and if troubles of tina
kind exist should be remedied a

The Man Who Loves Word.

"Other folks, of course, have their
poor pleasures" writes Richard lie Gal
lienne in IIarper's Magazine, "but for
a man who loves words no joy the
world can give equals for him the hap
piness of having achieved n fine pas
sage or perfect line. When Thack-
cray struck his fist on the table, as
the story goes, when he had finished
the scene of Colonel Newcome's death
and exclaimed, by God, this is genius"
there was no empire he would have ac-
cepted in exchange for that moment.
We often hear that your true artist is
never satisfied with his work, his ideal
escapes him, the words seem poor and
lifeless, etc. compared with the dream.
Whoever started that story knew very
little about the literary temperament
or he would have known that the words
are the dream. The dream does not
exist even as dream or only very i'm
perfectly till it is set down in words.
Yes, the words are the dream"
