LIFE SAVED BY A
PLUG OF TOBACCO
How Hicks, tho Entomhsd Mfhsr, Was AbIs
To Endure the Horrors Of Ills
Fifteen Days lfspsIsoumsrt.,


The whole country was intensely inA
terested few days ago, in the efforts
made to rescue LinSey Il. Hicks, a miner
who was entombed for fifteen days, sixty
feet under ground, as the result Of cave
in at Bakersfield, Cal. He heard around
him the despairing cries of his companions,
who were Crushedto the earth by falling
rocks and died before they could be re-
leased.
During the long period of his confne.
raent Hicks never lost heart. He could
hear the workmen digging away the debris
and approaching nearer and nearer each
day. When at last he was rescued and
brought to the surface of the ground, it
was found that he was in far better physi-
cal condition than had been expected.
When questioned as to the secret Of his
endurance, he said:
"During this first few days / existed on
much for me as any other thing. was
able to keep my mouth moist with it, and
although | wanted water, that tobacco
Juice performed the same service. | GER
tainly made it last, too. Every piece /
chewed I chewed until 1 could get no
more Juice out of it, and then swallowed
it. If it had not been for that tobacco l
believe I would not have been able to
endure the agony of my long confinement"
1WO QdyS DSlOIS IllChS W do teAhtIl out Oh
the mine food was passed down TO him
through a pipe. The first thing he asked
for when communication was opened was
a chew of tobacco. One of the workmen
who had plug of Star tobacco in his
pocket pushed it forward through the pipe
to the imprisoned miner. When the latter
received it he called out: "Take your
time boys I'm all rightnow, and can wait"
He afterwards said that the tobacco gave
him new life and strength.

Only the family was present when

Suggestions to Teachers BY County Su-
perintendent. V. R. James. ~

Keeping in mind always the well
fare Of our schools. and believing firm
! ~ in closer and constant cooperation
between the superintendent and the
! teachers, | am. taking the liberty of
calling your speclai attention to the
following ide1S. which ! regard as
wOrhy of daily application.
PROGRAM.
1Ou should have Il well prepared
program and follow it every day.
Have IL posted on the wall in order
that all the pupils will know when
each recitation will come Have
some system about every thing Won un,
dertake to do. This will diminish
vOnr !aborS, and viii be Of vast assis-
tance to the children.
DISCIPLINE. .., .--. 3.
No organization. aSSSUciatiOn or
body OF people. whatsoever it's Dur
pose. can reach the highest degree of
excellence without discipline. You
should, then, be firm and positive and
reQnirc eXa I uhcu'Cuce from everl
child AdOpr rules and regulation,
and have them respected by a positive
enforcement The teacher who tries
To- rule by hove alone will be a failure.
The time has not yet come when cor
p0ral punishment can be banishec
from the ScIuolS, The old school
master had his written rules: was
judge and jury, and from his decision
no appea! was ever taken. Maintain
order at all times. 10 Go this. Won
must keep he pupils busy and they
will give but little trouble
TEACHING.
First. Arithmetic. In teaching
ihiS subject to advanced classes. the |
text book should not be followed page
by page. Select four or six problems |
involving different principles FIR each
Dictate the problems to |
the class and haVe the m placed ON th1 |
board the following day You should |
not point out the errors or criticise |
the work bat let the class ITSELF make

Second History. This IS one OF the
poorest taught subj 'cs in the public
schools. The meInud used is Similar
to that used years ago. 1t seems / Hat
lie teacher tries to teach everything,
and teaches nothing well. In teach
ing history to advanced classes. tie
regular order Of the book ShUiild not
De followed. Teach the important
acts by topics and outlines. The
questions used in the teachers exam
