Irish potatoes to St. Louis via

Supt. Wright has just received fine
astronomical instrument called a

many of the difficult problems con-

geography and astronomy. This
instrument has a mechanical ar
rangement, whereby the moon,
Venus and the earth are made to
revolve and rotate in their respective
relations to each other and to the
sun. A compass enables one to set
the earth in exact position to explain
seasons, eclipses, etc. Mr.. Wright
intends to examine the instrument
and determine as to the advisability of
introducing it into the High Schools
of the parish.

Remarkable Educated Horse.

The remarkable sagacity of Trixie,
the educated horse that was killed in
q railroad wreck recently. is vouched
for by Mrs. Louise Culp, of Cleveland,
O., who saw the animal while it was
on exhibition at the jamestown fair.
"Spell the lady's name" said Trixie's
owner to the horse. Her name is
Louise"-dividing the syllables and
pronouncing them 'sLo-es."
The horse promptly spelled the
name and spelled it phonetically-
"Lo-es."
About two months later, when he
had become acquainted with the
name, he also conformed to the spell.
er and picked it out properly,
Louise.
What puzzles the students of natural
history is how the horse learned to
spell at all.

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day.
Times-Democrat, June 3:
To-day, in accordance with the beau.
tiful custom inaugurated by the daugh,
ters of the South, the annual tribute of
flowers and reverent ceremonial will
be paid to the gray heroes of the Con-
federacy. Forty odd years have passed,
and marvellous changes have been
brought, since the message from Ap-
potomax was borne to tense multitudes
throughout the land. Yet the memory
of the Confederate soldiers achieve
ments is as fresh as the flowers that
garland his grave to-day. Time has
softened the asperities born of that
epochal conflict, but is powerless to
bring forgetfulness of the heroism of
odds in defense of the cause which
they deemed holy and the homes
which they loved.
1t is not only fitting that this holi-
day should be widely and reverently
observed, but it's observance testifies
as nothing else could to the character,
worth and deserts of Southern man.
hood and womanhood to-day. The
land which honors not it's defenders
will lack defenders in other days of
need The race which forgets its he
rOes is race degenerate. No people
has gloried in more inspiring tradi-
tions than the immortals who fought
under the Stars and Bars, and who,
when the verdict of Destiny went
against them wrought as magnificently
were the days of travail that followed
the surrender, the manner in which
the surviving leaders and soldiers of
the Confederate armies met the al
most incredibly severe tests of the
reconstruction era, is scarcely less in
spring than their matchless conduct
upon the battlefield.
AS they adopted the noble Memorial
Day custom born of love and patriot
ism, of Southern womanhood, SO the
people of the North are coming to ac-
ceptance of the Southern estimate Of
the Confederate soldier. The slander-
Gus aspersions of the fanatic win to-
day only the contempt of his neigh
bors. The occasional protest against
the honors paid illustrious leaders of
the Confederacy is repudiated by the
body Of Northern sentiment. With in
creasing swiftness the false standards
which sectional histories sought to
establish throughout the North are be-
ing obliterated. II there were ever
doubt as to the verdict finally to be
rendered by impartial historians of
that crisis of the sixties, it exists no
longer. The fame of the Confederate
army and their leaders is secure
Their valor, devotion and purity Of
purpose will be universally acclaimed
through the time to come as surely as
win their memory be cherished by the
sons and daughters Of the South 50
long as the Southern people are wor-
thy Of their glorious heritage and ira
sdltions.
