STATE LAW TIES
UP SCHOOL MONEY
No Treasurer for School Board Can Be
Secured Because There Is No
Money for Bond Fee.


The state school laws have SO tied up
the schools, it is claimed, that the
school board, which is without treas
urer, cannot have one because 1t is pre-
vented from paying even the fee on the
treasurer's bond. Unless the citizens
come to the rescue Of the schools and
subscribe something like $3.50, the
amount of the bond fee, the school
board will be unable to obtain treas
urer.
While the law insists upon the ap-
pointment of treasurer, It makes no
provision for his paye and even forbids
the school board to pay the premium
on his bond, which is required. The
bond required would be approximately
$4,000 The amount is based on the
expected prospective receipts the
schools are to get The city treasurer
officiated as treasurer for the schools
until it was discovered that this was
contrary to the law, and the school
board advertised for a treasurer, but as
vet no one has submitted bids, and the
state school laws are blamed for it
The amendments that the local school
board urge on the state school laws IN
the way of financial provisions, are be-
ing drafted. These will be given to the
representatives from FL PasO whose
duty it will be to see that the amend
ments become a law
In a statement, issued by DR.. Z. H
Irwin. president of the school board, II
is stated that the schools of the city
were never in better shape financially
run for a nine months school year but
the funds for the support of the schools
for that time are not received until the
latter part of the school year the
schools cannot create a deficit neither
can they legally borrow money against
the funds to be received later and yet
they are expected to pay salaries and
expenses monthly

Gardsns Of tho Bosporus.

The gardens Of the Bosporus are
one Of the most characteristic fea-
tnres Of that river-like strait. They
have, moreover, definite cachet Of
their own. This is largely prescribed
to them by the nature Of the soil on
which they are laid out. The banks Of
the Bosporus slope sharply back to a
height of some 400 feet and are bro
ken by valleys penetrating more grad
ually into the rolling tablelands Of
Thrace and Asia Minor. Few Of their
houses, therefore, do not enjoy some
view of the water and of the opposite
shore, rarely more than mile or two
away. The gardens Of the houses are
accordingly laid out with reference to
those views and are determined in
form by the steepness Of the hillsides
on which they lie. They are terraces
that Is, one or many according to the
size Of the garden.-Scribner's.

TEA AS A BEVERAGE.
k 10 Said TO Enrich q Person Both

u 10 Said TO Enrich a Person Both
Morally and Physically.
Did you know that tea drinking is a
splendid aid to ones morals? At least
that is the opinion Of an English scien-
list who not long ago compiled learn
ed treatise to show the beneficial eff
fects Of tea drinking from spiritual,
physical and moral standpoint.
A meal in the morning. he says, with
tea as the beverage will enable a man
to pursue his days work with facul-
ties unclouded, temper unruffled and a
generally amiable state Of nerves. Be-
sides that. 1t makes the body active. 1t
clears the sight, it strengthens the ap-
petite and the digestion and is partc-
ularly wholesome for men of corpulent
bodies and great meat eaters.
1t vanishes dreams, increases the
memory and prevents sleeplessness. It
has been observed that it has contribu-
ted more to the sobriety Of the Chinese
than the severest laws, the most elo-
Quent harangues and the best treatise
on morality.
But, in addition to all this. he claims
for tea a strengthening effect on moral
tty. A man who is stimulated by a
generous cupful Of tea, moderately
strong, will be able to withstand more
successfully the manifold temptations
that assail him in the business and so
cial world into which he is plunged
than the man who is not sustained by
the same beverage.-Chicago Tribune

TONGUES OF BIRDS.
That Of the Humming Bird 10 About
the Most Curious Of All.

That Of the Hummins Bird 10 About
tho Most Curious Of All.
A German naturalist has gathered
some curious data with reference to
the tongues Of birds. As he points
out, many persons suppose that wood
peckers use their sharp pointed tongues
as darts with which to transfx their
prey. It Is true that the woodpecker,
like the humming bird, can dart out
its tongue with extraordinary rapidly
and that its mouth is furnished with
an elaborate mechanism for this pur-
pose, yet investigation shows that the
object Of their swift motion is only to
catch the prey, not to pierce it. For
the purpose of holding the captured
victim the woodpecker's tongue is fur
nished with sticky secretion.
Inasmuch as it possesses the power
Of initiating speech, it is not surprising
to learn that the parrots tongue re-
sembles that Of man more closely than
any other birds tongue does. 1t Is not
because the parrot is more intelligent
than many other birds, but because it's
tongue is better suited for articulation
than theirs that It is able to amuse Us
with its mimicry.
In some respects the humming birds
tongue IL the most remarkable Of ALL
It Is double nearly from end to end,
so that the little creature Is able to
grasp it's insect prey very much as If
its mouth were furnished with a pair
Of flngers.-Harper's Weekly.

RISING YOUNG s0NGsTER.
Ode to Ethiopia Gave e. 8. Jones His
PASSPORT to Freedom.

Passport to Freedom.
EDWARD Smyth Jones. a native of
Mississippi. bids fair to rival Paul
Laurence Dunbar as writer of verse.
Mr.. Jones has long cultivated the muse
and gained much public notice a year
or SO ago when he was arrested as q
vagrant while trying to enter Harvard
university. 1.-The Ode to Ethiopia" is
historical epic and Is regarded as
being responsible for his being releas-
ed from the Jail at Cambridge. Mass,
where he was confined after being ar.
rested at Harvard. Even Judge Ar
thur p. Stone, who dismissed the
charge Of vagrancy against him, said,
"Gentlemen. do not wish to be judge,
but this is better poetry than I find in
the current magazines"
The Boston American called this
poem "his passport to freedom" while
the Boston Globe said Of him and his
lode to Ethiopia" "One of those gen.
fuses who. like Paul Laurence Dunbar
and Alexander Dumas, occasionally
comes forth to proclaim the intellectual
equality Of the Negro race" Mr..
Jones is the author Of book Of poems
called "The Sylvan Cabin" with an
