GROWTH AND
 WORK OF M. M. l.
WHAT COLONEL MURFEE IS DOING
 AT MARION.
Abpe racuIty and Modern Ideas of Edu- cation Make Military Institute Prominent Factor in Ala
 bama--Its History.
ny VICTOR H. HANSON.

BY VICTOR H. HANSON.
 Marion, Aug. 5.-(Staff Correspond ence. )-Those who have followed the progress of education in the South have observed with profound interest the foundation and growth of the Ma rion Military Institute. Elsewhere in this issue is an interesting sketch Of the school.
 From this it appears that no one but a professional educator of known abil- ity and successful experience shall be eligible to the office of chief executive The signal success which has attend ed this institution and the suspicious era upon which it is now entering, is due to this wise provision of the found- CTS.
 The superintendent of the Institute, Colonel James Thomas Murfee. was admirably qualified to undertake the great work of founding and directing an educational institution of the high est order. He was graduated with first honors from the Virginia Military In- stitute in 1853. Immediately after graduation he undertook the work to which he has devoted fifty-two years of his singularly successful life. After his early labors in Madison College and in Lynchburg College. he came to the State of Alabama in 1860. He was Professor of Mathematics and Com mandant of Cadets at the University of Alabama for five years. For seventeen years he was President of Howard College at Marion. On the removal of Howard College to East Lake in 1887, The remained at Marion to build the Ma rion Military Institute.
 Rich in experience and wisdom from q long and successful life as an edu- hoator, he is now assisted in the work by his two sons, both distinguished masters of arts of the University of Virginia One has served as fellow in astronomy at the University of vir- lg1nia, as instructor in mathematics at Ifhe University of Virginia and as fel- Bow. lecturer and research assistant in physics at the University of Chicago. tThe other has taken the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts of the Uni- wersity of Virginia, has pursued grad LAzate study at the University of Chi scago, and has visited the famous Eng 1lsh Schools at Rugby. Eton. Winches- ter and Harrow.
 The Institute Is singularly fortunate nn possessing the services of two such distinguished scholars to carry on the pyForl so ably begun by its honored su- .perfntendent and founder. The high lrecoguition which has been accorded 1he work of the Institute by the great universities and the eminent educators of America. is a worthy tribute to the wisdom and ability of those who have administered it's affairs.

English Boy Climbs wettcrhorn.

The ascent of Ire Wetterhorn from Grindelwald by an English boy of 14 certainly constitutes a notable record Probably the record at the other end of life Is held by the great Grindelwald guide. Christian Amer, who celebrated his golden wedding in company with his family on the peak in 1896. The Watterhorn was Almer's own mountain. He was said never to be happy if he did not ascend it at least once in a season every year since he took part as d lad in Justice Wills's hrst ascent of the mountain in 1854. and planted a young fir tree on the summit. Nowa- days the WetterhOrn Is lightly refer red to as a ladies mountain" but two terrible disasters in one week, of Au- gust. 1902, showed that it is to be res- nprt ed

The Dog Spider.

The giant of the whole spider family Is the hound" or dog" spider of Mad agascar. Its body weighs almost . pound, and each Of It's eight legs Is longer and larger in diameter than the common cedar pencil Each of It's mandibles is three tourths of an inch in length and very strong. The dog spider does not spread a net and lie in wait for its prey, as do the gigantic bird spiders of Ceylon, but follows the traiI7 in exact imitation of a hound It will follow a faint scent to and fro through the weeds and underbrush un- tl the course is ascertained and then suddenly dart of In a bee line and quickly overtake the liEard, rat. mole or other animal of which It Is in pur- suit. It has been known to capture and kill lizards fcot or more in length, and Professor Barnaby tells of one which bounced upon and killed a full grown rat. The dog spider is said to be the only variety among the larger species of spiders which Is absolutely nOnvenomouS, there being no more dan ser in Its bite than there is fin that of a squirrel or a rabbit

The Mnn Eating Rnttas.

The man eating Battas of North Sumatrs have a postal system. They make use of hollow tree trunks al cross roads, and these primitive letter boxes are largely patroniEed by young men and women, who read and write and correspond in a degraded native script. which Is traced on palm leaves In vertical lines that run upward and from left to right These BattaS though undoubted cannibals, are skilled In agriculture and in raising stock. They form large communities, have an organized government hereditary chiefs. popular assemblies and writ ten civil and penal code, Their pictur. esque dwellings have been compared to Swiss chalets, and the ground floor Is reserved for their live stock. For their skill in ironwork, pottery and weaving they are probably indebted to Hindoe teaching, and their repulsive habit is combined with a belief in a triune deity, Creator, Preserver and Destroyer

Drinking 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 the heart fin such cases Second, persons with d. lated stomachs. Third, persons af. lictCi with sour ston.achS. Fourth, persons who have soreness of the stom- ach or pain induced by light pressure. These rules are not for those who take hot water simply to relieve thirst but as a 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 cxcImnt and In cases iu which irritation of the stomach exists should be avoided.

In the fourteenth century peopl, lived in mud hutS, with cough door and no chimney. It was not till a cen tury later that the erectiOA of chim ney was considered more than an In dulgence in luxury, a fire commonly being built against the mud plastered wall of the hut and the smoke esca9 Ing through the roof.

What can we add to the abov

What can we add to the above
pen picture? In our imagin alton
we fancy we see ''Little john"
on one of his raids for conquest.
People who are so unfortunate
as to fall heir to the honor of en-
tertaining any little John who is
allowed to put his feet on the
table when at home, are indeed
to be pitied. For the peace of
mind of kindly disposed hostesses
of the presentgeueration we re-
spectfully submit that there are
too many such little Johns.
Tie writer of the above article
has raised family of his very
own, raised them to respectfully,
too. To our knowledge, the
growth of this mans children
was not stunted, nor were they
mentally dwarfed, because they
were not allowed such privileges
as little Johns mother thought
necessary for his welfare.

bigger, too; there was too many

Mr.. Editor, there are few
home loving people who do not
altogether appreciate the senti-
ments Of the above reprint, but
should they be fortunate enough
to entertain little John at dinner
there is no doubt but their minds
would be speedily made up.
