There is no school in the State that has a more aggressive and enthusiastic faculty. Everything is encouraging and the work of this term, we hope, will be the most successful that has ever been done in this school. The Francis Marion Literary Society, for the fifth and higher^rades, and the LTL for the lower grades were reorganized Friday afternoon. The children take great interest in the society work. This school has been qualified as a State high school aud since we have a full force of teachers excellent work is being done in the high thnrki ripnurtment- Having three ?r o teachers doing high school work we have ample time to give forty minutes to each recitation, which is a great improvement upon last year's work. Another great improvement since the last session of school is the reading room, cortiining thelibrary and fifteen of the leading magazines and periodicals. The papils of the higher grades have access to these. ISince the close of school last spring an addition has been made in the way of a new building. A large auditorium with seating capacity of four hundred and one new classroom have been built. We cannot express our gratitude to the trustees and teachers for their kindness. They are giving us such excellent educational advantages. Edita Literae.

Music did not have its birth "when Jubal struck the corded < : shell," a6 ignorant humanity has ^ | been led to suppose. 1 Music originated in the cry of . < the peacock, the bleat of the goat < ' and the croak of the frog. Accord- |1 ! ing to an interesting article on the 1 ! relationship between music and : emotion, which appears in the An- J 1 nals of Psychical Science, Dr. Hen- j ! ry Fotherby, the writer, also sug- j < gests that the appreciation of time j ' and rhythm in music may be due to 11 the rhythmic shock of the heart's { beat on the circulation. 4 The nerves, he says, may play an 1 important part in the appreciation i * of musical sounds, and he points 1 out the connection between the < nerves and music by the tendency ( to express music when heard by movements of the head and arms ; 1 and sometimes by the trunk and i1 lege. Dr. Fotherby gives a feasible j 1 reason for the fact that the lower !1 notes of the scale have always been J j employed to describe anger, fear and reverence, while the treble notes have been associated with sunshine, light heartednes6, sociability and love. The lower notes associate themselves with the growls of wild beasts, the moan of the wind in the forest, the roar of thunder. The upper notes imitate the 6ongs of birds, the chirp of the grasshopper, the hum of insect life. "The Hindoo note Sa, corre-, sponding with our C," says Dr. Fotherby, "is the note of the peacock. Ri, our D, was the note of, the lowing of an ox. These were always attributed to wonder and . terror. "Ga, or E, Ma, or F, were the | cries of the goat and the crane respectively and were associated with compassion and love. "Ni, or B, Dha, or A, were the notes of the elephant and the frog, the former associated with compassion and the latter with disgust or alarm." ~ >?.j 1 y A. II Auril ncpnuan UApisnat Aunt Hepzibah was usu. careful housewife, and things dom went wrong under her man-: agement, but one evening 6he left the lid off the big canister in which she kept her best oolong tea, and a half grown cat crept inside of it and slept on the fragrant contents. Aunt Hepzibah's horror on discovering it the next morning was I heightened by the fact that she j was entertaining a friend who was particularly fond of tea and always used it for breakfast. The nearest; grocery store was half a mile away, and nothing could be done to repair the mischief. "I'm awfully sorry, Mrs. Wyckoff," she said to her guest at breakfast time, "but something happened to my oolong last night, and I've nothing to offer you to | take its place but?cat-nap tea. You*d rather have coffee than that, I'm sure." The guest preferred the coffee, and the story never leaked oat until Aunt Hepzibah told it herself.? I Youth's Comoanion. I 1 8*?r*d 6?n tf Riim.

Among the guests at a fashionable New York reception was a recently appointed young editor of one of the dailies, who thought extremely well of himself. He receded an introduction to the thirteen-year-old daughter of his hoetess. "And how do you like newspaper wen?" he asked the little maid in a most condescending tone of voioe.

It is a surprising thing to know that New York city, although not known as the American Venice, contains more islands than any city but Venice, for within its boundaries are thirty-one separate and distinct islands, most of which, encircled by deep water, will afford unlimited shipping accommodations and dockage for the commerce of future veers to reach undreamed of proportions, judging from past and present growth. ?

Strictly speaking, there is only me American tree?only one tree family, that is?no member of ahich has ever been found on any - ^ t 'PU.n in 4 U A )incr cuuuiii'iji. j. hid i& tii^ intrv)ry. It belongs to us alone, aDd ts very name is a legacy from the former owners of the land. The 'Historie of Travaile Into Virginia Britannia" pays: "Hickory i6 derived from the In3ian name of the liquor obtained ov pounding the kernels. These the Indians beat into pieces with stones and putting them, shells and ill, into mortars, mingling water with them, with long wooden pe6tells pound them so long together intil they make a kind of mylke, or >vlie liquor, which they call Pow?ohicora." There are nine varieties of this tree on the American continent, md, although the tree is a stranger to Europe, and so has not shared in the legacy of ancient legend and story with the oak, the ash and the )ther trees familiar to Greek and reuton, it has made up for its poverty in this respect since the time )f the early settlers in its own native country. Its qualities are cel;brated in the American proverb, a?
