Craze for Freak Fashions.


Now that the hobble skirt is be-
coming somewhat frayed and the nov
city Is wearing off we are to have d
bird petticoat. We already have the
little angel hat the jockey cap. the
snake hat the coalscuttle chapeau, the
Quaker bonnet, the torpedo toque and
the animal veil. As If that list was not
sufficiently terrible, there is also the
menagerie stocking and the snapshot
shoe. There are absolutely the latest
freak fashions.
The menagerie stocking Is made of
silk, lisle of homely cashmere. Up the
leg and across the instep animals are
worked in natural colors
The bird petticoat which heralds the
return of flouncesis an ordinary pet
ticoat. as skinny as possible with u
deep flounce. This is covered with life
size birds of every hue and description.
Peacocks, reproduced in their dazzling
glory; blue birds, pink birds, humming
birds, even condescending canary birds
are in enormous request.

Going Home.

AT this time Of the year there are more
people going nome than at any other
time. The long winter has passed and
spring has come and gone; summer is
here. the time when all want rest and 90
home, for there is no place like home.
Many OF us have been gone for years
and the old home has changed in many
respects, but in others we find scenes
that are familiar; there is the same rose
tree; the old spring, the little stream that
passed by; and in some homes loved
ones are there to welcome us to the most
happy place this side Of heaven. Mothers
and fathers are there 10 greet us and 10
have many happy surprises for us. Home
with some OF us will not be what il was
once; we will be compelled 10 visit the
city OF the dead There we will find
father, mother and loved ones sleeping
the last sleep and the old home In strang-
er'S hands; but we feel we are on hal
lowed ground. But this homecoming is
nothing 10 be compared with the last
homecoming il we are faithful TO the trust.
We will find our loved ones where there
will be no more separation.
90 that home OF the soul,
In that beautiful land,
SO free from all sorrow and pain;
With song on our lips
And with harpS in our hands
We will meet one another again"

The Origin of Rocks.

The geologiSt divides rocks into three
general clasSes-igneous rocks, origlnat-
ing from the molten magma forced up
ward from the bowels Ct the earth, such
as granite and the various lavaS; sedi-
mentary rocks, consisting OF disintegrated
particles of the igneouS rocks which have
been reformed into rocks themselves,
such as sandstone; and metamorphic
rocks, consisting of igneous or sediment
airy rocks whose composition has been
greatly changed by intense heat, chemical
action, or other causes, as. for instance,
limestone that has been changed to mar
bic.
Sedimentary rocks, as stated in the ge-
ologic atlas OF the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, are usually made up of layers
or beds which can be easily separated.
These layers are called strata, and rocks
deposited in such layers are termed STRAIT
flied. The surface Of the earth is not I'M
movable; over wide regions il very slow
ly rises or sinks with reference 10 the sea,
and shore lines are thereby changed. AS
a result OF upward movement marine sed-
imentary rocks may become part OF the
land, and most of our land areas are in
fact occupied by rocks originally deposit
ed as sediments in the sea.
Sandstone is perhaps the simplest ex-
ample of a sedimentary rock. Obviously
sandstone was once sand, and again each
grain Of sand was once part OF some
older rock. This sand was first eroded
and then deposited and either subjected
to great pressure by everything masses
perhaps thousands of feet thick or ce-
mented together by chemical solutions.
Where the stone was formed by simple
pressure il contains large proportion
OF open spaces and thus becomes an ideal
water bearer. Some SandStones will
carry as much as quarts OF water TO the
cubic foot of stone In other varieties
the intersticeS may have been filled with
cementing material so that the rock may
be for all practical purposes almost as
dense as granite.

Gethsenane.

In golden youth when seems the earth
A summer-land Of singing mitth,
When souls are glad and hearts are light.
And not shadow turks in sight,
We do not know il. but there lies
Somewhere veied under evening skies
A garden which we all must see
The garden of Gethsemane.
With Joyous steps we 90 our ways,
Love lends halo TO our days;
Light sorTows sail like clouds afar,
We laugh, and say how strong we are,
We hurry on, and hurrying, 60
Close 10 the borderland OF woe,
That waits for you and waits for me
Forever waits Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes, across strange streams,
Brdged over by our unbroken dreams;
Behind the misty caps OF years,
Beyond the great salt iount oftears,
The garden lies. Strive as you may,
You cannot miss II in your way.
All paths that have been. or shall be,
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane.
All those who Journey soon or late.
Must pass within the garden gate
Must kneel alone in darkness there,
And battle with some fierce despair
God pity those who cannot say.
Not mine but thine" who only pray,
Let this cup pass, and cannot see
The purpose OF Gethsemane.

Won bY a Drum.

There stands in the French town oi
Cadenet, his native place, monument
to the memory OF THE Little Drummer
OF Arcola," Andre Estienne, the hero oi
one OF the most romantic episodes in
French history. 1t was an episode that
illustrated the extraordinary military value
so often attested by the worlds greatest
generals, of what Othello called the
esprit stirring drum" II may be said,
curiously enough, that Napoleon Bona
parties great career was built upon a
drum, for the battle of Arcola was won
by the beating of Estienne'S drum, and
the CorSican himself always dated his
confidence in his own fortune from this
battle, won in 1896. The circumstances
were these:
Bonaparte, hemmed in with a small
army at Verona, between two greatly
superior forces, sailed out at night, made
forced march, and with $4,000 men tell
upon the rear Of 5000 AuStrianS. The
battle lasted seventy two hours. On the
second day of the fighting the Austrians
obtained such position that they COM
pletely and murderously swept the bridge
of Arcola, which the French had gained
and which they must hold fthey expected
to win the battle.
II was an unlocked for movement No
officer was near, but Andre Estienne, the
little drummer, was there. He went to
his sergeant and told him that he Should
cross the bridge with his drum and beat
il on the other side.
"But," protested the sergeant, "betore
you place one foot upon the bridge you
will be killed. No man on earth could
live on that bridge. However, can you
swim ?"
al can," said the drummer.
"Then swim across with your drum.
"Impossiblel" returned EStienne.
"ShSuld the drum become water soaked
could not beat il on the other side"
But the sergeant was equal to this dit-
ficulty. Being himself fine swimmer,
he plunged into the wafer, bade Andre
mount upon his shoulders and hold his
drum clear of the water. In this way
the two crossed the river, Andre beating
his drum Justify all the way. Once on
the other side, he pounded it in way to
well nigh wake the dead. The Austrians
who were maSsed near were nearly all
raw recruits. Hearing what they took
TO be the drums OF an advancing force oi
French and remembering the terrible
French onslaught OF the day before, they
fled. This left the bridge clear, and the
French began to pour across. Andre
was joined by other drummers. The
Austrian flight became rout. The
French swept on, with Andre Estienner
still drumming, at their head. Soon the
whole Austrian force was retreating, Ut
terly beaten.
Years later Estienne's heroic act was
celebrated by being represented in stone
on the front OF the Pantheon at Paris
The funeral ofthe little drummer OF Arcoli
was attended by a great concourse o.
French officers and soldiers.

The Lift Of Kindness.

Ordinary kindness has an extraordinary
lifting power. II takes only ordinary
kindness made constant and habiiual in
any life to make that life wholly extraor-
dinary in its service TO others. The rea-

nary is because we do not take the trou-
bic 10 think of and do the obvious acts OF
kindness that We might. A man was
waiting on the street corner for his troll
ley car when he was hailed by the occu-
pant of a roomy automobile, with the
question, "Going down town ?" The
unknown queStioner evidently had mis-
taken him for an acquaintance. But the
question was repeated, with inSistence,
and he was invited TO get into the auto
mobile and go along. A moment later
the incident was repeated, and another
man, dazed and apologize, was elam-
bering into the handsome big machine,
saying, "l hope won't pun you out. ="
"Oh, you're not big enough for that, t"

Superintendent McChesney in the sad

State Board OF Education, and the
points involved have become of State

Instruction is grained 10 learn OF the
reported settlement.
The fight has been In progress for
considerably more than year. and
had its Inception In an argument be-
tween the superintendent and the
board over the salaries or teachers.
The board objected to what it regarded
as Mr. AicChesney's domination and
failed to re-elect him as supervising
principal, for which the city had been
paying $1,000 year. The salary from
the State is small. and was supple

constant services of the official.

The board then elected C. Z. Ander-
son, of Smyth county. as supervising
principal It had no power over the
position of superintendent, place
which Is filled by the State Board Of
Education. But Mr.. McChesney. re-
tanning his supervision, refused to in
dorse the certificate OF Mr.. Anderson.
The latter appealed to the State Board,
which ruled that the affair did not
present questions upon which 1t could
rule. Mr.. Anderson was thus clint
mated.
Mr.. McChesney has been acting as
superintendent ever since, and during
the session just closed there was no
supervising principal. There has been
much public demand for change tho
patrons contending that the situation
was in1uring the schools. Recently
the superintendent declined to indorse
