The Point Of View.

This Is a true story. a certain belle
was present at a recent Chopin recital.
During the March Funebre," her eyes
g~listened and her whole attitude of
rapt attention was as If the music had
entranced her very soul. Her whole
face was expressive of admiration and
intense interest. When the pianist
had finished, the escort of Miss Belle"
turned to her and said: How beau
tiful!" To which she replied: yes.

The month OF August will have run

With part OF her cargo washed over.
board and bringing thrilling story oil
rescue at sea, the British steamer
Thimbleby, Captain Mothersdale, ar
rived at Newport News yesterday after
noon after experiencing the worst
storm in the history OF the ship. Mon
day night. while attempting to save
part of the deck load OF lumber, Second
Mate H,lliar was swept overheard by a
giant wave, and before the steamer
could b brought TO stop, he was far
astern Although terrific sea was
running, lifeboat 10 charge OF First
Officer Sampson, was launched, and al
apparently hopeless search was begun.
Just one hour later, nearly exhausted
as the result Of his battle against over
whelroipg odds and ready to give up
the fight, Hilliar was picked up by the
ifeboat and landed on the ships deck
with great difficulty.
The steamer Pocabontas, with 314
persons, mostly women and children,
arrived at Richmond yesterday morn
ing at O'Clock, after having spent the
night aground near Dutch Gap, in the
James River. The boat was expected
in at II O'Clock Tuesday night, and
after an hours delay in her arrival
anxious parents and relatives assembled
at the wharf to learn the cause OF the
delay. It was an anxious night, de-
spite the assuring word of Captain
Graves, who telephoned all were safe
on board, and many people remained
at the wharf until the boat arrived yes
terday. The party on board consisted
of the church and Sunday school mem.
bers Of the Randolph Street Baptist
Church.
The corn crop in the Northern Neck
will be short on account of the drought.
In many parts OF the Neck there will
be only about half crop. Some Sec
tons have been particularly favored
with rain, while on the opposite side OF
the road there has been no precipita-
ton. Westmoreland county is proba-
bly, the greater sufferer, and many OF
the large farmers will lose considerably.
The hay crop has also been cus short
by the dry weather.

REATTIE WEEPS.

Henry c. Beattie, now on trial at
Chesterfield Courthouse on the charge
OF Wondering his wife, though apparent
Iy callous during the previous portion
of his ordeal, collapsed yesterday and
burying his head in his hands he
sobbed. His shoulders heaved and
tears meandered down his fingers. The
defense had placed a man named Hol-
land on the stand who said he saw a
man with gun on his shoulder on the
Midlothian pike on the night of the
murder Of Mrs. Beattie. The prosecu-
ton, however, brought out the fact that
the man was seen several miles from
the scene Of the tragedy between 5 aad
in the evening and was doubtless a
gunner.

COMMUNICATED.
THE WEST END SCHOOL,.

We notice in Fridays. paper under
faculty for West End School that this
will he the second session in the new
building.
We desire to make this correction, as
this schooi-house was opened in October
1909.
The faculty was Miss Eva E. Cowling
principol; Miss Annie II. Beattie, first
assistant; Mrs. Emma G. Lewis, pri-
mary teacher.
We had very successful term, char
acterized by harmony and enthusiasm.
Miss Eva E. CowliEg was thoroughly
acquainted with the school manage
ment, she having been principal of the
West End School for twenty-five terms.
During all that time harmony existed
between patrons, teachers and pupils.
She held the confidence of the people
as painstaking well-qualitied teacher.
We can commend her for her Chris
tian character, her faithfulness to her
duties and eleyatiug influence upon the
lives OF her pupils. Miss Annie Fl.
Beattie had served very acceptably in
that school for FIVE years, and had
endeared herself to its patrons, by her
faithfulness to every detail of her duty.
Last session the school officials de-
cided to make a change. Miss Julia
Cross from North Carolina, friend of
Mrs. NJ. D. Hall, vas made principal,
Miss Cowling FIRST assistant.
Miss Nancy Hall, the young daugh-
ter of Superintendent NJ. D. Hall was
appointed in Miss Beattie's place and
Miss Basbford primary teacher. Some
of the patrons resented these changes.
In December Miss Cowling was dis
missed without hearing on the charge
of insubordination. Miss Cowling,
who had spent twenty-three years in
service to our community was dismissed
en-the testimony Of a stranger who had
been in the school for eleven weeks.
The people resented this injustice and
took an appeal to the county board on
December, 1910. The case is still un-
settled, although an effortat compromise
on part of school officials has been
made.
After repeated delays, the county
superintendent mas promised an inVes-
tiaation, in September. The patrons
haze made every effort to secure this
investigation. Last June they sent in q
petition signed by about s07, OF lead
ing patrons and taxpayers for Miss
Cowling's appointment as 6rst-assist-
ant.
( While we will not describe the details
now, We believe the injustice done to
Miss Cewling is without parallel in
the State of Virginia.
Her family have been resident tax
payers for eighty years. she being
Of the third generation. She holds tie
county record as being the teacher
who has served her school the longest
period OF terms. PATRONS.

M,o,.tio Currents.

Procure gold ring, the more mas
siye the better, and attach it to silk
thread about a dozen inches long.
Fasten the other end Of the thread
around the nail joint Of the forefnger
of the right hand. Rest your elbow
OF the table to steady your hand and
hold the thread In such position as
to allow the ring to hang about half
an inch above the surface Of the ia
BILE. Hold your finger out straight and
throw back your thumb as far as pos
sible. So long as there Is nothing on
the table the ring will remain station
airy.
Place some silver coin Immediately
below it, when the ring will begin to
oscillate back and forth, to and from
you. If you bring your thumb In con-
tact with your forefnger the oscilla-
lions will become transverse to their
former swing. This may also be eff
fected by allowing some one to take
hold Of your disengaged hand These
effects are produced by the animal
magnetic currents given forth by the
hands of the e1perimenters.
