Of work. Only such as enroll the
first day and attend the entire
time are entitled to certificates of
perfect attendance.
In planning work, teachers
should attempt only what they
can successfully carry. It is success
that is desired. 1t is a good plan to
bring such books as are at hand es-
pecially pertaining to the subjects
which one desires to study. These
can be used for reference and will
be of material assistance in work to
be done. The subject matter will
be presented in such way as to
enable one to prepare work from
any text.
It should be remembered that
Civics is now required subject.
All those passing 80 per cent or
above in methods, will be excused
from taking the professional test.
It is the intention to lay such stress
upon Primary Methods in order that
the teacher may be better provided
with the necessary training for such
work.

Hughes Huge Life.
Springfield Republican,

Clovis Hughes, the French journal
list. poet, and duelist who has just
died. filled his fifty-five years of life
with sufficient excitement to make
him worthy of special mention. One
of his claims to distinction was that
he hadxengaged in a. French duel
which resulted fatally-for the other
man. He was tempestuous radical,
and was once suspended from the
chamber Of deputies for insulting re-
marks to the president, which did not
at all curb him: He wrote a number
Of novels, poems and plays in which
he sought to spread socialistic propa-
ganda and he write pretentious five
act drama lin verse called lie Sommeil
de Danton' (The Sleep of Danton),
which was produced at the Opera
Conioue. His wife contributed her
share Of excitement by killing a public
official in the palace of justice be-
cause of an alleged insult. Before she
was tried she wrote and acted La
Vengeance de Nine Clovis Hughes"
The play depicted her sensational act
and represented her as triumphantly
exonerated by the court. When her
trial came the court did as predicted.

stonewaIrs Bridge Builder.

washington Starr
"Stonewall Jackson" said Vir-
ginia veteran, used to tell good
story about a bridge builder.
This bridge builder was called old
Miles. He was very necessary to
Jackson because the flimsy bridges on
the line of march were continually be-
ing swept away by the floods or de-
stroyed by the enemy; and in these
contingencies Miles was a regular
jewel. He could run you up a bridge
in the time it would take another man
to make the measurements.
Zone day the Union troops burned a
bridge across the Shenandoah. Stone
wall Jackson called old Miles to him
and said:
"'You must put all yolrv men to
work, Miles. and you must keep them
at it all night for I've got to have a
bridge across this stream by morning.
My engineer will draw up the plans
for you
well. early the next morning jack
son. very much worried. met old Miles.
See here he said, obviously, how
about that bridge? Did the engineer
give you the plan?
"Old Miles took the cigar from his
mouth and ficked the ash off with a
sheer.
General he said, the bridge is
done. I dunno whether the picter is
Or not"

Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, July s.
There is moderate country demand
and outside buyers show keener inter-
est in trade than last week. altho they
were again partial to good classes. and
common light Wisconsin feeders We're
slow sellers Those which We're poorly
bred We're particularly hard to to get
rid of, since most buyers who were
willing to take stockers wanted some
thing of fair quality. As a result of this
preference for good breeding the better
bred stockers met rather free outlet,
but prices could not be boosted. Most
demand came from Indiana and Ohio
buyers, altho there was a fair corps of
Illinois feeders in the trade. Most Of
the latter were after good weight feed

THE ELECTRICAL HOME
Calendar Of Weekly Events in Home
of J. e. Davidson, Montpelier, VT.

1t is astonishing how much our daily
comfort depends upon electricity. 1T is
such a faithful slave to our conyen-
fence that we muse it dozens of times
day and do not give it a thought. Elec-
tricity has come to such 6, prominent
position in our everyday life that we
think we could not live without it,
altho our forefathers struggled along
for centuries with candles, wood fires
and hand power.
The weekly calendar of events in the
electric home of Mr.. j. b. Davidson,
Montpelier. VT. which is fully equip
ped with the standard General Electric
household devices, best illustrates the
various uses to which electricity can
be put today. Life in the electric home
can be arranged somewhat as follows:
Sunday-Breakfast prepared on the
electric stove, with the electric kitchen
utensils The meni Of the house use
the electric shaving mug, and the fam
lily boots are polished on the electric
shoe shining apparatus The chill is
taken from the rooms with the cleo
trio luminous radiators. A newsboy
rings the electric door bell and an
nounces the Sunday paper (Which was
printed on electric motor driven
presses). The electrically prepared
dinner is served and for dessert ice
cream has been made in the motor
driven freezer. After dinner cigars
are lighted on an electric cigar lighter
and the family takes a ride in an cleo
trio automobile. After church an cleo
trcally cooked lunch is served, and
later in the evening. after the electric
lights are ablaze, corn is popped in the
electric corn pepper.
Monday-Wash day loses half its
terrors when the work is done in the
electrical way. The water is heated by
electricity, The washing machine and
wringers are turned by motors, and
the clothes are dried by electric fans
if the day is rainy. OF course the
cooking every day is done by electric-
ity. Orders are placed with the DUTCH
er, baker and grocer over the phone.
Tuesday-The good wife irons in
day is hot the work is accomplished
on the back porch. The electric re-
frgerator takes care of the provis-
ions delivered in an electric delivery
wagon to the electric dumb waiter.
Wednesday-The family sewing is
done on the motor driven sewing ma
chine. and small electric iron is used
for pressing. The children play with
electric toys. Water is pumped to
the house by motor driven pumps. The
rooms are heated by electricity If cold.

With Marie corelIi.

well-known Chicago divine, whose
enthusiasm sometimes runs away with
him, tells the following story of his
meeting with the English novelist, Ma
RE Corelli, at dinner in Rome:
"As soon as she entered the drawing
room and l saw those great soulful
blue eyes, ] registered three wishes =
two little wishes and one big wish. The
first was. oh, Fate, or Chance, on
Luck. or whoever it is, or whatever it
is that fixes things, let me sit at table
where / can see those eyes The second
little wish began the same. but ended.
Let me sit where l can both see those
eyes and hear her voice
We'll, those wishes We're scarcely
formed before my host crossed the
room and informed me in a casual
way that I was to take Miss Corelli in
to dinner. Oh. didn't swell--and swell.
That l, of all the men present, and it
was a distinguished company, too,
should have been singled out for this
honor.
Perhaps I didn't enjoy that dinner
We talked about--but that comes later.
The next day hurried to pay morn
fore, who was also my very good
friend, and, as soon as he appeared, l
began:
'"'Tell mellow it happened?
How what happened
''You know. How 1 happened to

He demurred again and again, but

Nebraska Parrots Disappeared.
NEBRASKA State JournaD


Only few naturalists and early
territorial settlers know that parrots
were once numerous in Nebraska.
Fifty years ago they were still seem
along the Missouri river in southeast
ern Nebraska, but disappeared very
suddenly after the first settlement in
that region. The Nebraska parrot was
the Carolina paroque (Cornus Caro-
lina). 1t had beautiful green and yel-
low plumage, so shrinking in appears
ance as to instantly arrest the atten-
ton of the early hunter,
Besides this the girds gathered Inv
large f1ocks and were so exceedingly
tame and simple that the whole hocA
was easily killed. Add to this that
the birds We're fine eating. and their
feathers attractive trophies of the.
hunt and the fate of the Nebraskaa
parrot was assured.
