Mark Twain got his training as a
speaker in the palmy days OF the lee

author-and, some British ones-used to

days Mr.. Clemens was not subject to

the sudden rising of a teacher and her
attendant pupils, evidently bound for the
suburbs. AS the party passed before him
Mark Twain raised his voice in a clearly
audible aside:
"Ah," he drawled. going to catch the

James McNeill Whistler in the lattter's

How to Kill Flies

To clear a room of flies carbolic acid
may be used as follows: Heat a shovel
or any similar article and drop there
on 20 drops of carbolic acid. The vapor
kills the flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly
poison, one which is not dangerous to
human life, is bichroma:e of potash in
solution. Dissolve one dram, which
can be bought at any drug store, in two
ounces of water and add little sugar.
Put some Of this in shallow dishes and
distribute them about the house.
Sticky fypaper, traps and liquid poi
sons are among the things to use in
killing flies, but the latest, cheapest
and best is a solution of formalin or
formaldehyde in water. A spoonful of
this liquid put into quarter of a pint
of water and exposed in room will be
emo ugh to kill all the flies.
To clear the room quickly where there
are many flies burn pyrethrum powder
in the room. This stupefies the flies,
when they may be swept up and burned.
If there are any flies iu the dining
room of your hotel, restaurant or board
ing honse complain to the proprietor
that the premises are not clean

This is the close of the second
week of school and ever vthing is
progressing nicely. The problem
of organization is well under way
of solution. While many changes
have been made along this line
only those which were very ne
cessary were attempted.
The enrolment of the various
grades is very irregular, ranging
from IS to so. The total enroll
ment is 400. The high school has
enrolled IS. In the high school
about IS per cent of the pupils
have enrolled in the commercial
course.
There are several high school
students who are taking post
graduate work which consists
mostly of commercial subjects.
AT teachers meeting this
week the question of classification
and promotion was taken up
and discussed. An agreement was
reached among the grade teachers
to divide each grade into A and B
divisions instead Ct one. This
system gives greater opportunity
for individual help during class
periods by the teacher, more uni
form classification, and a chance
for strong pupils to be promoted
