Americus stands in comparison with
other cities of Georgia, and brings
more forcefully to the front the onerous
tax that Is put upon this city through
the present excessively high rates.
The statistics published are only for
cities of 20, 900 population. In Georgia
five cities are given. They are as be-

Thirty Children Enrolled.

Thirty children were enrolled during
the term Just ended. Under the skilful
direction of Miss Brahan, assisted by
Miss McMath as pianist, rapid progress
was made by all of them. The intelli-
gence of the children was quickly
awakened by the work. kindergarten
work aims particularly at the develop
ment OF the mind through concentra
ton of the childs's thoughts on visible
objects, the nature of which is eX
planned in such a way that it can
comprehend their construction and the
purposes for which they are used. A
child's mind, under this instruction,
becomes speedily more alert, its inter-
est is aroused in the daily life and
surroundings about it, and its store Of
exact knowledge is greatly increased

Miss Brahan is an experienced
teacher, having taught for seven years
in Chicago. She has gone North for

PURELY VEGETABLE
Lawyer. and Our Public Life.

Lawyers ana Our Public Life.
Without stopping for statistics, which
have been so often collated, It Is
enough to say that in the public life CT
this country the lawyer has been the
conspicuous factor. The judiciary, of
course, is altogether composed Of mem
bers Of the profession. In executive
Offices ana legislative halls the law has
predominated and still predominates
over every business ami all other pro
fessions. Yet the public life of this
country has been of the highest char
acter. Acting for the public as the
lawyers have done in these various
fields of official labor, they have
proved true to their employment, and
It may safely be said that the scan
dals which have sometimes been found
In official life have seldom attached to
them. How can this be accounted for
except upon the theory Of general
personal integrity? 1t is no sufficient
explanation to say that, although the
great mass Of the profession is cor.
rupt, there are few who are reliable,
and they are the ones whom the public
select for official life. The truth Is
their very prominence in public life,
their fidelity to the trusts therein i'm
posed, is evidence which cannot be ig-
nored that the profession has and
maintains a character for honesty and
uprightness which attracts general
confdence.-D. ]. Brewer in Atlantic.

The Battle of Redonda.

Not far from st. Thomas, a matter of
perhaps hundred miles, was fought
the most wonderful naval battle in all
history. The Dutch admiral detected
the enemy in the early morning, when
the sea was covered with thick mist,
and his guns opened fire at once with
out warning. The fire was returned
with interest, the ocean fairly culver.
Ing with spasms caused by the shock
Of frequent discharges. Somehow or
other the enemy's shots, which sound
ed like bombardment, seemed to fall
short or go wide of the mark, for not
even a splash Of ball was heard, and
the Dutch ships remained unscathed
On the other hand, the Dutch could not
see the terrible execution their guns
were doing until nearly the middle of
the forenoon, when the fog lifted, re-
vealing to their astonished gaze not the
vessels Of the enemy, but a great rock
standing out of the sea. They had been
firing at it for five hours, and the sound
Of the return shots they heard was the
echo from the solid wall of granite.
They named the place Redonda, which
means sent, rolled or driven back, and
Redonda it is to this day.

Weight of the Brain.

There is just five ounces less amount
Of brain matter needed to keep a won.
an from idiocy than there is needed
for a man. The average weight Of a
mans brain Is forty-nine and one-half
ounces and that Of woman forty-four
ounces. When brain falls below thir
ty-seven and half ounces in a man
idiocy usually occurs. A woman's
brain has to fall to thirty-two and one
half ounces before she reaches the
same condition. Man has larger
brain in proportion to his stature than
woman, while, on the other hand, WON.
an has larger brain in proportion to
her weight. The female brain begins
to lose weight after the age of thirty;
that Of the man not till ten or fifteen
years later The loss in a woman Is
slight, however. ana she keeps up a
high brain weight much later than a
man.

is the only Democratic candidate
who has recognized following,
be is not the unanimous choice of
the Democrats of the state. While

candidate, it looks as though be
