The selsmogTaph OF the Weather Bureau
recorded earthquakes of considerable
magnitude, the first shortly after noon of
the 22d and the second about twenty-three
hours later, namely, afternoon of Deem
Der -. From the appearance of the records
we are led to conclude that the earth
quakes originated at widely separated
localities, but this cannot be definitely
told.
The first tremors were recorded az
I:5l:50 P. M. Of 22d, and the ma ximum
motion, of very short duration, occurred at
2;22; 40 NJ. The strongest motion was re-
corded in a north-soutn direction and
amounted to II millimetre displacement
of the ground. The displacement in the
east-west direction was only 3 millimet res.
The second disturbance was recorded
just after II O'Clock December %, and the
motion In both north, south and east west
directions was greater in both components
and lasted longer than in the first earth
quake. The first preliminary tremor began
at 12:37:35 p. NJ. the strong motion be-
ginning at 24Oand lasting from three TO
four minutes.
The maximum displacement in the east
west direction was IL millimetres and 10
millimeters for the north south mpone
The end Of the record occurred at l:l6.2I

records the second disturbance was not at

What nobler profession can there

human beings the best there Is in us?
1t is rather a strange contradiction
that while education is highly valued
in our country, teaching on the whole
has less honor than II deserves. III
Is a pity that, commonly, more care IL
had, yea, and that among very wise
men, to find out rather cunning man
for their horse than q cunning man
for their children" We do not pay
our teachers enough for our own good,
since a liberal salary attracts talent
not only In itself but because 1t Is q
symbol of success. Half a million
Americans are now engaged in doing
what they can with 2O,000,0O0 younger
minds. Surely no half million Ameri-
cans are employed In more important
work. Teach self-denial," said Wal

said of other virtues) land make its
practice pleasurable, and you create
for the world destiny more sublime
than ever issued from the brain of
the widest dreamer" Teach anything
that is good, remarks Golfers, and
you touch the depths. The ablest and
truest men and women are required
those who know life and are not
pedants, not machines with notions of
suggestion no higher than the ferule
and the copy-book. The teacher works
with living minds and hearts and
souls. On no man or woman rests q
higher or more inspiring task.

lated upon the probability of Kent's
one thing, that IL Kent Trevor said he
would take the mail back and forth
he would do SO, even II he had to
crawl.
At length the day came when he
was to make his first trip. His ap-
pearance in the village as he called at
the post Office for his mail bag was
the signal for such shout as had not
been heard in the rather sedate vii
lage of Senoia for many day.
Where did you get your seven
league boots?"
when did your legs grow so
long?"
What did your mother feed you
on to make you grow so tall?"
Lie down, Sonnie, SO as to let us
pat you on the head"
you expect to drink water out OF
the clouds, don't your"
mo, no; he's going to sweep the
cobwebs out of the sky"
These were few of the exclama-
tions that greeted his first appear
ance. 1t really seemed as If the vii
| lage had resolved itself into one
| laugh, long and loud. But Kent
laughed with the rest, tossed saucy
replies to those who addressed him
and stalked on the even tenor of his
way.
He dismounted at the post Office,
strapped his mail bag firmly to his
shoulders, remounted and set off at a
pace that augured well for the speedy
delivery Of the mail at Chetney, fol
lowed by the cheers of the crowd. AS
he passed out of sight one gentleman
was heard remarking to another:
mot one boy out of thousand has
the pluck and determination to do q
thing like that. Mark me, we will
hear from him yet in way to make
us proud of him."
Kents arrival in Chetney caused
little less commotion than his de
parture from Senoia. Judge DEM
was ON hand to meet him and after
the delivery Of the mail insisted upoI

wanted talk with him.
