MF. Myers Has Good Sale.

All of the sales in the County
have been we'll attended and stock
has brought good prices, and the
sale of Mr.. l. ID. Myers was no
exception to the rule. The aver
age price for eight work mares
was S221.5O, and other stock sold
proportionately well.
Mr.,Myers will shortly remove
to his farm ON the Shepherdstown
and Halltown turnpike, near Shen-
andoah Junction. which comprises
a part of the old Henkel estate.
He bought the farm some time ago
and has erected new house, barn
and all outbuildings, and now has
one of the most modern equipped
farms in this section.
We are sorry to lose this encr-
getic and successful young farmer
from our County, but extend best
wishes for his success wherever
he may 90.

Teachers Meetils Well Attended

The last meeting of the Clarke
County Teachers Association to
be held during the present school
year, which was held in the High
School building last Saturday, was
well attended and was a success in
every way.
All of the papers and addresses
showed great care in preparation,
and were well received by all
present.
The association, which was only
formed last year, has done great
good in bringing the teachers of
the County into closer touch, Civ
ing each teacher the benefit of the
experience and observation of the
others in their respective fields,
and in broadening the view and
comprehension of all. Too much
cannot be said for the devotion
which is shown to their work by
the teachers of Clarke county, and
while every one of them is under
paid, it is the hope of the COURIER
that the School Boards will soon
realize their error in this particu-
lar and ask for increased school
funds for the purpose of better
paying the men and women who
educate the children of the County.
Following is the program of the
meeting of last Saturday:
How TO build up the child's
moral c.'aracter;" paper by Miss
X. V. Royce.
Are parents and teachers too
lenient cH children in this genera
tion!'' rs Miss Jolliffe.
The teacher as a social factor;''

abuse by Mr. II. J.. p Reed.

SOUL HOUSES.
One Of the Queer Customs Of the An
Gent Eayptians.

one OF the queer Customs OF the An
cient Egyptians.
Egyptian "sour' houses We're curious
edilces made probably between the
tenth and twelfth dynasties-that is,
about 5000 and 1900 B. G. The same
principle that caused the warriors
steed to be slain on his grave seems to
have actuated the early Egyptians
when they built a house for the dead
mans soul.
The beginning Of the custom was
that a mat was laid on the grave, with
a pan of food upon it. Afterward this
Offering was carved in stone as a ia
BILE of offerings to give permanent sat
isfaction for the soul. Then to the ia
BILE was added a shelter copied from an
Arab tent, and this gradually was
elaborated. The shelter was placed on
columns, a hut was put into this por-
t1co, chambers We're copied, and finally
appeared complete two story houses
furnished with pottery models OF
couch, chair, stool, fireplace and the
figure Of a woman making bread.
The soul was conceived of as ascend
ing from the grave through the ground
and requiring shelter while feeding on
its everlasting provision, and yet,
though it assembled through the earth,
it needed a staircase to go up to the
upper floor, and the soul had a donkey,
for which a manger was required

Xentilata Well.

An old writer says, "When men lived
in houses of reed they had constitu-
tons Of oak; when they lived in houses
Of oak they had constitutions of reeds"
This is a picturesque description Of the
injury which may come to us from
fine houses too closely confined to keep
out the fresh air and too heavily cur
tanned, preventing the entrance Of sun
shine, which Is almost if not quite as
important as air. But it is not at all
necessary to have our fine houses un-
healthy, and 1t requires only intelli-
gence and thoughtfulness to render a
brick house as good a promoter Of
health as a cabin. Fresh air will come
into we'll ventilated modern houses as
we'll as through the open cracks Of u
house of reeds and sunlight through a
window in a palace rs we'll as a hovel.

irish Sarcasm.

A happy and humorous example OF
as apart from repartee Is at
forded by the following anecdote. |
quote it on the authority of a riend,
who, l am afraid, was the villain OF
the incident: A most imperturbable
man was followed from Westm oreland
street, Dublin. over the O'Connell
bridge to the general p~ostofice by two
little street arabs. who f%mportuned
him for the end Of his cigar. Throw
us the butt, sir! All, sir, throw us the
butt!'' cried the youths, but as the man
did not betray the slightest conscious
hess of their existence they gave him
up at last In despair and disgust. "Ar-
rah, let him alone" said one, with the
most scorching scorn. "Shure, It's q
butt he's picked up himself"
I once heard a bumptious little man,
who, acting as steward at athletic
sports in Dublin, was very assertive
n keeping back the crowd, thus ad-
dressed by an angry spectator: III the
consate was taken out of yez, yed be
no bigger than a green gooseberry,
and we're as sour as wan ~already!"-
