paid last Saturday the S2500 bonds
issued Nov. 1st, 1895, for building
the High School building. The bonds

as President of the Board Of Educa
tion and John P. Madison as Secre-
tary. Other bonds to the amount OF
$1,000 issued the same year for the
construction of said building, have
still four years more to run before
being taken up. In addition to the
above $500 bonds paid, the district
has also paid within the past ten
years a loan of about $4,000 to the
state for the first brick school house.
Thus it may be seen that in addition
to large sums paid out for finishing
up additional rooms and for repairs
and maintaining the schools, it has
also been possible to reduce the ori-
ginal indebtedness by a large sum.

PHILOSOPHY OF DANCING.
Famous Men Of Olden Times Who
INDUCED in Terpsichorean
Pleasure.

Says a Paris correspondence of the
London Standard: AS Mr.. squeers' was
tine right shop for MORALS SO it has
been found year after year that the
conference OF the International Acad-
envy of Composers OF the Dance and
Dancing Masters is the right shop for
history and department, and more es-
peciaily for history At the conference
which was held in Paris recently M.
Eugene Giraudet, the president of the
academy, traced the history of dancing
from early times.
The hymnal dance was evidently in
vogue when, the .Israelites crossed the
Red Sea. The farandole is always
claimed by Provence, but it seems, now
that It was invented by Theseus when
he came out Of the Labyrinth, and that
it was called the stork, because it imi-
tated the flight OF storks. Socrates
danced. Plato but should like to
hear DIR. Emil Reich on this p8int-an
Simonides must have danced, accord
ing to our academician, because they
said such pleasant things about dan
cling.
R Louis XIV. was not only lie Grand
sMonarque," but also .un grand dan
seur,' because he said He who
dances we'll makes a long step in love-
When Napoleon l. was military stu
dent at Brienne he demanded more
money from his father for dancing les
sons, saying do not know how to
dance, and that is very Ridiculous
This remark, ]" said NJ. Giraudet,
proves that Napoleon was not want
ing II common sense"
Capt. Cook turns out to have been an

sailors should dance every day. AS to

though he does not talk much, he has

Drainage must be the watchword
in the Red River valley until the
surplus water can quickly be remov-
ed from every acre of land. All that
is needed to make this broad valley
the garden spot Of America, is ade-
quate drainage. Nature has provid-
ed a soil which in fertility rivals that
of the valley of the Nile, and all that
man has to do is to construct artif-
cial channels for carrying off the sur.
plus water. 1t is much easier to do
tina. than to construct extensive sys-
TENS of irrigation Tor getting water
onto the land, as must be done in
the famous valley of the Nile, and in
all places dependent upon irrigation.
The:average rainfall lere is sufficient
to mature the crops, and is rather
too abundant than deficient during
the growing season. It is very sell
dom that we suffer on account Of
drought in the early part of the sum
mer. Rain is a great blessing and
without it this fertile valley would
be nothing but a desert Because we
get little too much of a good thing
at times is no reason why we should
growl or deride the country. If we
stand idly by and allow excessive
rains to destroy our crops for lack Of
bitches, we, who nave settled here,
are at fault. We must be up and do
ing, that is ALL God has given man
this great and fertile valley to deVel-
op and subdue, and no equal tract OF
land on the face OF the earth will
respond more readily to labor of hand
and brain. Much mas already been
done in the way OF ditching through
out the length and breadth of the
valley. but it is only a small begin
ming. There should be no cessation
in the good work until every foot
of land is properly drained. When
that is done the agricultural re-
sources OF this valley will be multi
piled many times. We can hardly
conceive Of the mighty possibilities
Of this region when man has done
his work as he should. @

HOW THE BROWNIES RAN AWAY.

On PauPs birthday a box came from

days together and thus had two every
year.
I'll take the boys and you may have
the girls said Paul. Its my birthday

"Goody!" cried Ruth, clapping her little

and soon each Brownie had a name.

THE DIsoBEDIENT CHICK.

Said downy young duck
To a fluffy young chick:
Come down to the water and swim!
By a fine bit of luck,
The right path | can pick
And the horse trough is full to the brim"
81 really don't darel"
Was the prudent reply
Il have often been cautioned, you know,
With the greatest of care
To walk where it was dry,
And with giddy young ducks never go,'
She replied with a sneer:
ITO me it is clear
To your mothers tail feathers you're tied:
You run at her cluck!''
Said this naughty duck,
Il don't think you have very much pride"
The chick hung his head,
While with bushes he said
L never have learned how to swim;
You see that by my toe;
But l would like to 60
l suppose l can walk on the rim"
With his thin yellow legs,
Like long scaly pegs,
He walked on the perilous rim;
He watched his friend dive,
And come up still alive,
Though she paid no attention to him.
His mother, the hen,
Called again and again,
But her darling child never replied.
With motion too quick
He had slipped-the poor Click
And he fell in the water, and died.

DIR. CAMPBELL MORGAN ON HABIT.

An earnest Presbyterian eluer was re-

When they wanted Campbell Morgan
to come to our church and give series
OF his Bible lectures, wasn't particularly

lecture, what he said took right square
hold Of me then and there, and haven't
shaken it off yet
His subject was Habit He talked
about the tests by which we may Judge
whether habits are bad. He said Chris
tlans ought to consider fairly whether
they were wasting on indulgencas money
with which they might do good in some
other way; that they ought to watch
