CHILDREN IN SWITZERLAND

the fruit. which they sell for a good price to the tourists and generally the erdbeeren Is offered in dainty little grass basket made by the child.
 Little girls learn to make lace, and 1t is no uncommon thing to see them sitting ont in front of their own small homes being little mothers perhaps to one or more smaller children and their busy fingers flying back and forth making pil- low lace which is oftentimes rarely beau- tiful and is sold for a very small sum of money. In school these little girls are taught to weave and spin and embroider. They carve wood, as do their brothers. 1t is in their own homes that they learn to make the wonderful cheeses Tor which Switzerland is known and to do all kinds of housework It is an unknown thlng for young girl of any class in Switzer- land to be ignorant of household duties, They are dear little mothers to theS younger brothers and sisters. One lullaby which is known to every child in Swift zerland is:
 Sleep, baby, sleep Thy father tends the sheep.
 Thy mother shakes the little tree,
 A tiny dream falls down for thee.
 Sleep. baby, sleep
 Sleep, baby, sleep! Tn heaven walk the
 sheep.
 The stars they are the lamblzins small,
 The moon 1t is the shepherd tall
 Sleep, baby, sleep!
 But it is in the summer time when the days grow very warm and it is hard to, stay indoors that the children, headed bI their teacher, go off into the woods and tramp, carrying their blankets and some hard biscuit and depending upon the wild fruits they can gather by the way and the generosity of the country folks for milk to drink. Frequently many days are spent on excursions of this kind and the boys and girls both are healthier in mind and body for it.

From the Housekeeper for December.

From the Housekeeper for December.
 WITzERLAND is a remarkable @N little country. It is one of the V smallest countries in Europe It is wonderfully varied in it's valleys. rivers. mountains, glaciers. forests, lakes. it's wonderful feats of engineering. the pie turesque homes of it's people and the in- dustries they pursue. The people are all industrious and the boys and girls are taught to work when they are very, very small. Children living in the country walk many miles to school. In summer school begins at o'clock in the morn ing and in winter at o'clock. It is a long. long day they spend at work, but I am sure it must be wonderfully interest ing, for considerable time is spent out in the fields and woods. They study the flowers and the trees; they learn to work in wood and make all sorts of useful and pretty things; they learn to weave bas- kets of grass. If in one eanton or state, of Switzerland there are forests, the children learn to work in wood, making all sorts of wonderful things; if in another canton there are minerals, the boys are taught to work in metal; and in the agri- cultural districts both boys and girls learn all about fruits and flowers and everything connected with the life and work in their home surroundings. A Worn- an who travelled in all countries of the world once said that never anywhere had she known children to be as well be- haved as those in this land of mountain and lake. In passing the children on the highway even a little tot of will smile and say, "Guten Tag"
 It is a notable thing that our little Swiss friends are taught never to destroy anything Neither do they ever gather unripe fruit. There are great many wild strawberries on the mountain sides and in the valleys, but until the luscious erdbeeren is ripe it is quite safe from de- stroying hands. but when quite ripe the little folks will walk miles to gather

BIG VOTE FAVORS
 THE BOND ISSUE

Tuscumbia, December 6.-(Special.) )-The election held yesterday on the bond issue of $25, 900 for the rebuilding of the Col bert county courthouse, which was burned, resulted in an overwhelming vote in favor of the measure. The alterna- tive presented to the people of the coun- ty was the issue of bonds bearing per cent interest. to be retired in ten years, or the issue of warrants at ' per cent. The contracts have already been let for the building of the courthouse, which will be ready for the April term of court. In addition to the bonds the county has s6000 insurance on the old building and the new edifice will be a very handsome one.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 The devil has such a good time at his regular business he never takes any va cation.
 A mans wife can't even keep him on the water wagon by telling him how her mother predicts he will fall off.
 There's nothing a woman can worry more about than her age after 30 except the age of her unmarried daughter after 4
 If they had all turned out men the Lore would have kept on creating more in the hope of getting something better but when there was woman 1t was safe to stop.
 The nearest the average man can come to arranging financial programme for the next year Is to overestimate his in- come and underestimate his expenditures.

Union City, Tenn, December 6.-In preparation for the second special term of court, called in connection with the recent night rider attacks in the Reel foot Lake region, and the commence ment of the trials of those men under indictment, conference of the state att torneys was held today and plans to be followed by the prosecution per fected No announcement as to the result of the conference was made.
 Tomorrow the motion of the defense in the cases of Lige Collar and Tom Johnson, the men released under bond yesterday, and immediately rearrested the names of the state witnesses be furnished the defendants attorneys, will be disposed of before the present term of court ends. The enw term will be immediately convened. Anothe grand jury will be empanelled and more indictments returned. It is not i'm probable that the men indicted by the outgoing grand jury will be .reindicted because of the contention of the de- fense as to the legality of that court, 1t being asserted that failure to properly publish the fact in advance of it's converting invalidated it's actions.
 The state will anonunce ready wien the first cases are called and it is probable that the work of securing a jury will begin on Tuesday or Wednes-

Railway Stations.

"Of the many new and handsome rail- way stations in the south none will sur mass in size. magnifcence, or beauty of interior finish the Terminal station In Birmingham, now nearing completion, said a travelled man; and few can match it.
 twenty-five years ago there was not a southern city that had decent look ing passenger depot. They were as a rule only rickety wooden sheds. Now every city of any importance or pre- tentIons either has an adequate station building or is about to have one. It IS but another evidence of the south's prog ress."

Partina the Hair.

Tt used to be that young men who parted their haid in the middle were con sidered effen mite, but those who so part their hair now have many models of the sturdy, strenuous class" said a citizen. Among statesmen who part their hair in the middle is President-elect Taft, Secre- tary of State Root Frank Hitchcock, Ad- miral Dewey, King Edward of England, and many other personages of worldwide fame.
 Some men look well with their hair parted in the middle Especially do men having a tendency to badness find it the most becoming style. But after all, in matters of fashion, there should never be any hard and fast rule"

FOREVER AND A DAY,

By Thomas B. Aldrich. I little know or care If the blackbird on the bough Is filling all the air With his soft crescendo now: For she is gone away,
 And when she went she took The springtime in her look. The peachblow on her cheek, The laughter from the brook, The blue from out the May And what she calls a week Is forever and a day! It's little that I mind How the blossoms, pink or white, tAt every touch of wind Fall a-trembling with delight; For in the leafy lane,
 Beneath the garden boughs, And through the silent house One thing alone I seek.
 Until she comes again
 The May is not the May, And what she calls week Is forever and dayl
