Many Species Have More Than the
Regulation Pair.
Many animals possess more than
two eyes which do not set together.
A leech, for example, has ten eyes on
the top OF its head which do net
work in concert, and kind Of marine
worm has two eyes on the head and
row down each side Of the body.
Some lizards have an extra eye On the
top of the head which does not act
with the other two. A bee or wasp
has two large compound eyes which
possibly help each other and are used
for near vision, and also three little
simple eyes on the top of. the head

eribe Boys With Cigarettes.

Briblng boys with cigarettes to A.
tend Bible classes Is certainly q new
departure. This has lately been done In
an English parish, and the vicar was
naturally very much incensed. One
Sunday the teacher Of the class dis.
tributed packets Of cigarettes, and the
bays said that the large attendance
on that occasion was due to the prox,-
ise Of the cigarettes. Previously some
Of them had received cigars. The
practice has, however, been put .
stop to, owing to the Wears stronA
snd reasonable objection to any such
system.

D. Johnston deliver his eloquent lecture,
Memories of the Old South" The speak
err seemed to draw from the depths of his
heart the colors with which he painted
the ante-zelum scenes of plantation life.
the tavern, and the stage coach, and the
other characteristics of those bygone
days. In the course of his lecture he
spoke of the agencies which had been
active in building up the matehless civiIi-
cation of the old south and touched upon
every phase of this civilization from the
mint juleps of the nabors to the camp
meetings. He closed with picture of the
life of the ante-bellum negro and an
apostrophe to his old black NANNY, now
singing in heaven besides her mistress
the celebrated songs, whom he some time
in the future hopes to clasp in his arms
as he did when a boy
The lecture, as whole, was an accu-
rate picture of the old SOUTH and abound
ed in subtle humor and touching pa
thos.
Last night in Clark hall Mr. Wyche de-
Lore of the South-Uncle Remus'' In
this lecture he told many unwritten
stories, collected from various sources,
such as "Taleypo. "Money-Purse Jack
and the Devil" How the Rabbit Lost
His Tail" along with a number from
Uncle Remus, such as "The Tar Baby
and "Brer Rabbit and the Mosquitoes"

lore, which was the origin of literature,
and of the work of the story tellers, who
were the first teachers of literature and
history.
In his lecture he gave a brief sketch
of Joel Chandler Harris and his work
"Uncle Remus," he said 'Is the greatest
book in southern literature and is de-
stned to live as one of the greatest of
American books Beside its literary value
1t is of great worth as an educational
factor in that 1t stimulates the imagina-
tons of the children"
Mr.. Wyche's lecture was greatly enjoy
ed by all, for besides bringing out the
edagogical value of the story he kept
his audience highly entertained by his
inmitable way of telling the stories.
Friday night after Mrs. Ligons lecture
there will be a reception in the mess hall
to which all the students and the public
are invited.

RACE CLASH WAS
BARELY AVERTED
BROTHERS OF NEGRO GIRL KID.
NAP HER IN JACKSONVILLE AND
It'll THOUGHT SHE IS IN CHAT.
TANooGA.

Admission, July i2-(Special "A race
clash between the whites and blacks was
narrowly averted in Jacksonville Tuesday.
wnen w. C. Cox swore out a warrant
for the recovery of Fannie Dobbins,
young negro apprentice. from her brother
who had kidnapped the girl and taken her
to their home in the negro settlement
of the city. The Dobbins girl is the daugh-
ter of the late Jesse Dobbins, a former
servant in the employ of Mr.. Cox. who,
unable to support the child, gave her
to Mr.. Cox several months before his
death
On receiving the girl Mr.. Cox filed
papers of apprenticeship. by which the
young negress was legally bound to him
by the county. The brothers of Fannie,
however, are unable to comprehend the
legality of the situation, and in several
instances they have attempted to recover
the girl from the possession of her guar
dian. Saturday Mr.. Cook sent the girl
to the postoffice on business and while
she was In the city she was kidnapped by
GusD obbins. her brother. and secreted in
the negro settlement. Mr.. Cox at once
swore out warrant for her recovery,
which act precipitated trouble.
A large crowd of blacks gathered in
front of the Dobbins house. and when
officer Hamilton arrived to reclaim the
young negress threatening demonstra-
lions were made by the congregated
blacks. Mr.. Hamilton returned to the
city. deputized large force Of assistants,
end 1t was only by overpowering numbers
that he was able to effect an entrance to
the house where the young negress was
kept. The house was searched in vain,
for during the absence of the officer the
object of his search was spirited away.
and her whereabouts are unknown. 1t Is
thought however, that the brothers of the
girl have taken her to Chattanooga. where
the law of Alabama Is powerless to touch
her.

Thincs Cut of Siuht.

At this season of the year, when
cellars are being filled with the pro-
visions for winter, the utmost pains
should be taken to provide against the
introduction of unnecessary dirt and
decaying substances. Tubers to be
stored in the food cellar should first
be either brushed or washed, that no
unnecessary dirt may be introduced
into the room. Everything should be
so placed and arranged as to facili-
tate frequent cleanings, and to pre-
vent the accumulation of dust and
dirt in hooks and corners.
Each autumn and spring, the en-
tire contents of the cellar should be
literally turned out of DOORS" and
every portion of the room thorough
ly disinfected with soap and water,
fresh whitewash or in some other
practicable way. At any time an
odor of mustiness in the cellar should
be considered a signal of danger. to
be attended to at once. If a careful
cleaning and airing does not remove
it, more vigorous measures should be
employed. Examine the drainage and
the contents of the cellar, and remove
the cause, if possible. If the cause
is not discernible, the whole room
should be disinfected, or. as may be
needed in some cases, reconstructed.
The basement or shed where fuel
is kept should in no wise be neglect
ed; a floor of some sort is essential
to protect from dampness. Decompos-
ing matter of any sort is to be avoid
ed if one desires healthy home
