Ti) the E iltor or the Press a'l'l Bttiner: Not longa^o In ku editorial on "Voting Contests" you asked If we hat! lost our sense of the pro- I prleties. The "we" in the question referred j principally to the mistaken girls who allowed their names to be voted tor tn prize contests gotton up by different newspapers, and the people who voted for them. I thluk one might ask another question In the answer to which the same people would figure quite] prominently. That question is?have we lost , the art ol conversation? X >t lon< since we j were thrown with a group of young people, i seven in number. Each ot them had attended oneol our highest institutions ??i learning. v Two were graduates, three iu Junior classes > c and two In Sophomore. They were bright j j and Intelligent looking, yet during the half hour which wvspem with them, their entire 1 conversation (?) consisted of slang phrases, t aud much laughter. One young lady la- | formed another tb it somebody had "given her . tne bigh bail.' A boy In the crowd earnest ly j ' assured one of tb<> girls that he was not"jol t lying" her. We admit that wo were too be-! c wildered to take pirt in :liis Interesting con- [ versatlon until we brought our scattered wils * together and compel.ed tbem to grasp thejf meaning of ihesa tsvo phrases which were | ^ used at least oiibiIo/.hu times each In the naif | t hour. Even theu, we felt that we had be. n j r pronounced "out ol date"and "not in It" by 1 thise progressive yom^ people, and would ! e not have been at all surp-lsed 11 we had beard + oue assure another that we were "uot In the Bwlra." J We do not believe in the use of high-flow ing language norot words which would call forth a dictionary, and we do agree with brainier people that la the simplicity of language lies Its charm. Rut we proUst against 1 the total sacrifice of elegauce to force which the use of slant: phrases brings about. And we verily believe that, if the presidents ol tbe colleges represented had been presentnnd t had beard tbls conversation (?) they would ? make most stringent rules against tbe u^e ol , slaug by tbelr students. The college girl and ; * the college boy will play a prominent pari. !u ! t tbe affilrs of our country In tbe future. Kv- j ^ ery young mau and every young woman who has money and brains Is using them in the 1 pursuit of higher education. If these youug 1 people whom we have mentioned represent c even a minority of those In attendance at colleges the habit of speaking slant; Is very e coiitxgious and most people will agree with a us that it certainly does not enconrnge intel ^ Jlgent conversation. If this be thecaseare we then not In danger of losing the art ? We have often wished that we were "some* 1 ' body of note" so we could call the atteution I of presidents of colleges to the habit, which is contracted nearly always at college, but . uot being somebody of note we call tlie atteu " L tion of the newspapers whi :h are just as in- o * fluentlal and we hupp thev will say some- e thing occasionally ahotu the growing and ugly habit of speak lug clang.

Lot of Them Proved It In Releasing a Mate. Tho English sparrow is perhaps the shrewdest bird going and rarely ever gets :a ught in a scrape. I saw one literally in i tight place, though, and but for the shrewdness of his friends he would doubtless be there now, or worse. A careless colored cook of the house adjoining mine had gjiilled some raw rice, perhaps a quart or more, in tho back yard of the neighbor's promises. In order to hide her carelessness from her mistress and so to save herself the trouble of picking up the rico, tho resourceful cook simply turned an empty box over the little pile, thus putting it out )i signt, aim went ncr way rejoicing. Presently a bovy of sparrows chanccd ;hat way and took possession of my neighbor's hack yard. Ero long an adventurous me of the nunibor discovered a convonicnt inotholo in the overturned box, poked his nquisitive little head therein and forthwith spread the news o? the rico find. Then hings were pretty lively thereabout. First one and then another of tho birds would pup down through tho hole, to bob ip a fow moments later with his crop full >f rice. They were all mighty gay over rlie mattor and most of them mado two or ihrce trips inside before they were satisfied. By and by something seemed to have ;ono wrong. Tho birds fluttered and ibirped and chattered in an agitated nianler, crowding upon and about tho box so ihickly that it was some time boforo I :ould seo that ono little brown head kept jobbing up frantically through the knotlole from tho underside and getting no arther. Sonic greedy little follow had II1U 1L1 ilLl uvursuppiy, IIIIU hU Jliuuu liuiiself too big,for an exit through the hole. Tho case really seemed a pitiful one, as lothing but time aud tho slow process of laturo could relieve tho poor prisoner of lis prodicameut. At least that is what I hought, and I marveled that so clever a ireature as a sparrow should got himself nto a hole. Meantime I had forgotten to eckon upon the ingenuity of the birds on ho outside of the hole. They lost no tirao n bringing this qualification in evidence, lowever, for pretty soon I discovered that hoy had set t.o work to dig the little prismer out. Having selected tho most vullerablo spot of the surrounding ground, Irst ouo and then another of the birds vould scratch and peck away, each one aking his turn and working energeticaly till by and by a holo was mado big nough for even the overloaded fellow on ho inside to creep through.?Philadelphia rues.

My turn was tho twelfth;; icnco one of my friends has dubbed mo I ho Twelfth Knight Tho equerry took mo j o tho door of tho apartment and then lwft. ne. It was a lofty room, but not very argo, being perhaps 40 feet long and of a orresponding width. Tho queen was aeatd on a very low scat at tho end of tho ipartmont opposite tho door. Behind hor i he ladies in waiting were arranged in a I eiuieircle, somo of the princesses being on ler left, and the lords in waiting and the 3uko of York on her right hand. On entering I gave my "best bow,"and, idvaneing a few steps, stopped and bowed igain, when I was introduced to hor majsty, my name being pronounced wrongly, mother bow on closely approaching her ind then, dropping on my left knoe, I exended the right hand, back uppermost, for ho queen has a great objection to moist ml ins The rmoen then laid her richt hand ?a very little plump one?upon mine, ami ! kissed it. Then she took a sword?dreadful nionent?and smote me, ever so gently, on ny left shoulder, saying in very low, sweet md soft tones, "Rise, .Sir Richard." And i became a "dubbed".knight, but not a 'belt" one, as nowadays knights have to Ind their own belts. Then camo a very difficult part of tho leremony. I had to retire from tho presince backward.

To draw tho cloth ?ard shaft on such a bow would probably lefy tho powers of even an exceptionally itrcng man nowadays. But good Bishop Latimer, in his well known eulogy of Engish archery, has shown us how from thoir joyhood Englishmen were scientifically .rained in tho uso of tho bow till, like lustico Shallow's hero, old Doublo, they jould "clap in the clout at twelvescoro fards." Up to what distance the old longbow yras really effective is a question not jnsy to answor, but from tho data wo possess it may safely be assumed that igainst anything but armor of proof tho doth yard shaft was deadly up to 300 yards, tvhilo for combined rapidity and efficiency lr? no wo'mnn nmilfl mmnnrA with tho longbow till tho introduction of tho brooch loader.

"THE GEORGIA WONDER," A (ircnl Lot ol' Abbeville (imleronfi Highly Lntertaiiwil. Last Monday night Miss Fannie Hester gave a performance in the Court I loom to a fairly large audience. Ah we under land, this performance was intended to show the un| known or mysterious power which existed in j her person and to give an ocular or potential exhibition of the wonderful results of that possession. The personal conduct or beliavI tour of the young lady on the p latform was t i ?1 I,. ,.,.,.,1 Tl.~ 1.1.. I KAV.CJJI IWUtlllJ lUHIIMipin.l IMUUrM.IUU seemingly entirely Innocent of any Intention ' lo play a joke on the gndjjeont who came I to see her, she did her part well?fully as well as could you or any other reader of the I I'ress and Banner have done. I We wouldn't expose puhlicly any of the | wonderful feats of the young lady, hut we don't mind taking you Into our confidence. Plaase give us your attention and we will give you the program and teach you how to pertorm each of the tricks. The show was opened by calling for half dozen gentlemen In the audience to come forward and occupy seats on the platform. Without assistance the young lady could not give exhibition of her powers. Now, let the reader assume the role of performer. Let one or two or three of the amateur performers who may be present take hold of a walking stick ami hold it horizontal'y. The test of strength Is In pushing the stick which Is held by the gentlemen. Now, let the performer push ngainft the stick, and the gentlemen who are holding it will be confused and will be readily pushed off the platform. If you can push these gentlemen In this way you have performed the first trick. Trick No. 2 ? Get a buggy umbrella, or the same stick with which the first trick was performed. Let two or three gentlemen try to bold It upright and steady, while you try to shake it. You can shake It as well as did Mi<8 Hester. Trick No. 3.?Get a four foot post, set It down on the floor and let all the men In the room try to hold it steady while you take the top and shake it. You can do it, and prove thereby that you have as much magnetic power as it is possible for the Georgia wonder to have. Triek No. 4.?Take a walking stick, set one end on the floor, and let all the men In town try to hold it down. When they have froze to It, take hold of the top end, glv>; a pull and ,vou will he surprised to note now easily you can raise it. Trick No. 5.?Seat a gentleman In a split bottom chair. Let him tilt It back so that all the weight will be on the rear posts, and let the front posts be from four to six Inches off the floor. Have the gentleman to brace his feet rigidly against the fli,or. and have to take by each hand a firm grip of a side round, or seat of the chair. Tills is done to guard against too great an electric shock to the gentleman. When everything is thus In readiness, just give the back of the chdlr a little push forward and you will be as onlshed to see the chair rise from the floor. You can suddenly withdraw your touch of the chair and it will resume its former potltlon with emphasis. Trick No. 6.?ThlR Is one of the most Interfiling parts of the program, and one in wh ich the expert must take the leading part. The assistant Is to stand at ihe back of the lady. The lady will raise her fore arm to a horizontal position. The gentleman Is expected to lift the lady when she so wills It, and when she does not will It, he can not do so. This trick, like the others,lsslmpleenough If you understand It. The gentleman of course stands off from the lady, without taking bold of her roughly. The manager now announces that the gentleman will lifi her twice. After which he cannot do so. The gentleman liftR. The lady raises herself on her toes, showing clearly that her heels are off the floor and the crowd applaud. Now It Is announced that the gentleman cannot lift her. Ho tries ns before, but she stands flatfooted. A giant couldn't raise her or any one else without her concurrence and assistance. .Just try how simple a trick this Is. Trick No. S.?This is perhaps the most wonderful trick In the world. It shows the presence of magnetism In the palm of the hand. il in urougui. uui uy uju use in u onvci uuuui. Let the magnetic person hold.out her band, and lei some one else take a silver dollar and move all around the hand and touching It anywhere, until the palm of the hand is touched and the magnetic effect is made apparent by violent Jerks. If you are not deformed In limb or muscle you can Jerk your hand |ust as well as Miss Hester. Trick No. 9.?This is something you may be able to perform or may not be endowed with the power to occompilsh. It Is asserted that the electricity which is constantly at work In the lady has a powerful effect on the muscles of the arm ; that they are constat! tly in motion.as il the forearm were thrown hack and forth. Well, now this is really the only trick about which there lsthestightestdoubt about your performing. Some people can move those muscles without apparent effort and others caunot. This Is all there Is in this trick, anu It is Intended only to show evidence of the mysterious presence. If you have followed us through this brief outline you can organize a show and take the road. The astonishing part of this performance was the allegation that distinguished persons in Georgia had countenanced and encouraged this exhibition. We have given you the whole show, omitting the Managers statements which were, in some respects more wonderful and more mysterious than the acts of the young lady. The price of seeing this 6how was forty cents. There 1b so little In thlsshow that we might conscientiously recommend It to religious societies as a means of realizing large profits lor smalll outlay. The outtit need cost nothing. The tricks can be easily performed by anybody, while the effect would be to electrify the audience. RARE Bi To Country Merchants and tl J. E.

Jeremiah was an old-fa9hioned preacher of an old-fashioned gospel, i but he was disbelieved, misrepresented, persecuted, imprisoned because he had the honesty and courage to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth as it was revealed to him 1 bv God. In order to know what the religion of f the future ought to be, we need only to institute comparison between the old and the new paths in the realm of righteous truth.
