A magician has waved his wand over Il once

IS tac pleasure house where Andrew Carnegie
with his wife ana daughter now spends the
summer months
Skibo is in the Gucal county Of Sutherland,
few miles south of Dunrobin Castle, and
ones first view Of Mr.. Carnegie's Home of

is the Kyle Of Sutherland. with the twenty
miles of Interest which the ironmastcr can now
call his OWN bounding the northern horizon.
Wild. craggy mountain tops. pinc-clad hills

picture that appeals powerfully to every visitor
The stately old place stands slightly rising
ground at a shon distance from the salt water,
and behind it rosy heather clad hills shelter it
from the north wind.
When Mr.. Carnegie bought SkibO he had TO

Athens, Ga, Aug 31.-The only tree in the
world possessing a deed to itself is one of the
interesting and historic relies OF this city
This magnificent oak stands IN Gotham, the
fashionable residential district Of Athens and
it is ranked above the common trees Of tho
world. 1t stands straighter and holds its head
more proudly than the trees around it, seeming
to realize that it is a property holder and can
not be touched against its will, that is if the
conditions Of the deed are carried out The tree
is tall and symmetrical. it's great limbs are
shaped as if by the hands OF an artist and

The Grip.

Before we can sympathize with oth- CTS, we must have suffered ourselves. No one can realize the suffering attend ant upon an attack of the grid, unless he has had actual experience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental sgony, or which so successfully defies medical aid. All danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy, not one case has ever been reported that has resulted in pnue- monia or that has not recovered.

SCHOOL COLUMN.

The pupils in the various grades
are making commendable pro-
gress in their penmanship work.
This is especially true in the form
of letters. However, it will be
another year. at least, before the
drill shows much in the writing
of the pupils. 1t is tremendous
task to change bad habits and
this is especially true in penman
ship work. 1t is not true, as some
complain, that the change in the
system of writing has made some
pupils poorer writer's.
We have directed all our ener-
gies to securing a rapid, legible
hand. To accomplish these results
it has been necessary to break up
the slow, cramped finger move
ment by many movement drills
and to give careful attention to
the forms of letters. Every pupil
iu the grades has been given care
full and full instructions in regard
to position, pen holding, care of
writing utensils. etc. 1T present
plans are carried out, the writing
of the pupils will be vastly i'm
proved in a few years.
