His Legal Fare.

The late Mr.. Walter Macfarren in
his Memories" told an amusing story
of the manner in which he was taken
in" by a Birmingham cabman upon
his first visit to the Midland metrop-
oils. In 1876 he was staying at the
Queens Hotel, Birmingham, for the
Triennial Musical Festival, at which
he was to conduct "The Resurrection"
A friend was staying at the Stork Ho-
tel, which is about three minutes walk
from the Queens, and in order to pay
this gentleman a visit Mr.. Macfarren
enlisted the services of a cabman out
side his hotel. For nearly an hour the
cabby drove him about the city, and
upon arriving at the Stork demanded
five shillings as the legal fare. Later
Mr.. Macfarren asked his friend why
he put up at so distant hotel. The
astonished gentleman took him to the
window and pointed out to him the
lights of the Queens, which could be
seen by looking along Corporation
street.-London Daily News.

Course For Office BOYS.

So many different things are being
taught in the public and private schools
nowadays that there are few innova-
tons in the line of pedagogy that will
b. a surprise to the natives who are
used to hearing tales of Superintend-
ent Maxwell's "fads." But there is
one new course started this fall in
an institution that makes business
of originating novelties in the way OF
education that will be likely to make
the old-fashioned folk rub their eyes
to read of it.
This is nothing more nor less than an
"office boys course" designed to teach
the terrors of the business world the
most approved methods in filing, in
dexing, mimeographing, letter-copying,
etc., as we'll as applied arithmetic, bust
ness English, spelling and penmanship.
The director of the school lays special
stress on the fact that Importance

Property Takes a Big Jump.

The city assessment roll for the com
ing year, which has recently been
completed at Columbus, shows the to-
tad valuation Of Columbus real estate
to be $2,433, 4SO, against $2,04S,3OO
fast year, an increase of 1886, $50.
The total assessed valuation on per-
sonal property is $1,14,510, against
$1,112,727 last year, an increase Of
$1,783. While this is splendid show
ing, it does not begin to tell the sto-
ry of the progress which has been
made there during the past year. Hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars have
been expended in the erection of mills
and factories, and the assessment does
not include these as all manufacture
ing enterprises are exempted from
taxation for a period Of five years.
Were all these mills and factories in
cluded the total valuation of property
would be at least 100000. Notwith-
standing the fact that the growth Of
Columbus has brought a large increase
IN the amount necessary to defray the
expenses of the municipality, the tax
levy has not been increased, but re-
mains at Ii mills, the same as last
year. This was made possible by the
increase in values which the growth
of the city has brought about.

Brief.
Appeal to Teachers.

Chancellor R. B. Fulton, of the
State University of Mississippi direc-
tor Of the Southern Educational As
ISOLATION, has issued an appeal to the
teachers of the state to attend the two
educational meetings to be held in
Nashville ON November % and 23rd.
"A portion of the address is as follows:
The Southern Educational Associa-
ton deals with general problems that
concern us and our sister states. The
Association of Colleges and Prepare
tory Schools deals with questions that
affect high schools and colleges, and
that makes for better scholarship. Ev-
cry principal and superintendent and
every progressive teacher, should ar
range to attend. From these meetings
he will bring inspiration and knowl-
edge that can nowhere else be pro-
cured, and that will make better his
work for the school which he serves
and the community in which he labors
School boards should realize that the
most vigorous and efficient work can
only be done by teachers who keep in
touch with the best thought and work
Of others, and these boards cannot bet
ter serve the schools under their care
than by making liberal provision for
the attendance of at least one repre-
sentative of their schools at the Nash
vile meetings. Mississippi occupies
a position of leadership in certain
lines of educational work, which posi-
ton can be maintained only by the
Improvement of every opportunity TO
increase the efficiency of our work.

How an Insurance Man Finally Became
Success.

How an Insurance Man Finally Became
Success.
Some eight or ten years ago young
Englishman replied to a friend who
had inquired how he was getting on:
'Not at all, there is something the
matter with me and l think l know
what it is, but it isn't in me to rem
edy it." He had come over here in the
hope of making fortune or at least
of winning for himself fair degree
of success. He had gone to work for
a life insurance company and had not
been a success; he had secured SIM
liar position with another company
and barely had been able to hold his
position and realized that he was max
ing no perceptible progress. He was
disappointed and his friend had sus-
pected as much.
'You see," he continued, you've got
to pat everybody on the back over
here to win, and that is something
I can't do. I've tried my best to get
ahead, but I don't succeed"
A year or so later the young Eng
lishman and his friend were again dis
cussing the same topic. The insurance
man was more discouraged than ever;
he had lost the second position and
had been obliged to begin almost at
the bottom, with another company. His
failure he attributed to the same old
cause-inability to "jolly."
"Why don't you learnT' asked the
friend: ''you can do it as we'll as any
body IL you make up your mind to
it,
You're right" replied the English
man, land I've made a resolve-I'm
going to pat everybody on the back
from now on, no matter how much it
goes against my natural inclinations.
Watch me, I'll just put all over every
body"
He did and to-day he is vice-presi-
dent of big insurance company at a
salary Of $4,000 a year.

HOME PoLiTENEsS.
Our Habit Of Forgetting tho Rights Of
Those NeareAt Us.

Our habit Of Forgetting tho Rights of
Those NeareAt Us.
It is singular thing that we should
find it so easy to hurt the people we
love best.
The people who live in the house
with JUS, those for whom we would &C
tually. do most If it came right down
to deeds, are the ones with whom we
take the least care to be courteous and
kind.
Not outsiders, for whom we care
nothing; not our friends and neighbors,
nor those among whom chance throws
us, but the dear home people who love
us better and have done more for us
than anybody else, have to bear the
brunt Of our ill-temper and harsh
words.
Home is regarded as the natural
place to "let off steam" and there is,
curiously, small thought given to the
scalding hurt thnt overflow of wrought
up feelings is going to do the family.
Some of us who are the pink of po-
likeness among outsiders leave our
politeness entirely out of our dealings
with. our own. If even the common
courtesy we practice toward strangers
were made part of all our dealings
with our own family there would be
infinitely less friction in the average
home.
"Estelle is mad at me-" young
woman was heard to say to her thir-
teen-year-old sister. ''She will not
speak to me because this morning L
went into her room without knocking.
lShe has such an absurd sense of dig
nifty"
Perhaps Estelle carried her dignity
to extremes, but in the germ of it
she was right. She only demanded the
common politeness her elder sister
would have shown to stranger.
1t is strange indeed that we find it
so little worth while to be particular
with our own. In reality we should
be more so, for the more strongly peo-
pie are bound together by affection
and the more closely they come in con-
tact in daily life the more strain there
is on feelings, temper and nerves.
Try little more politeness among
the folks at home. If you are not
treating your own people with the
same courtesy you give to others, try
for while to do so, and see if it does
not improve many hitherto trying
and unhappy situations.
Life is just our chance of learning
love, as the wise poet said. And there
is no better opportunity to learn that
lesson than in our daily contact with
those who are nearest and dearest to
