It was made at tho White House under the per sonal supervision of its gentle mis tress. It was after this great event that the President offered to adopt Miss Grace formally and thus m uko her the reigning bello of the nation-the social leader of the capital-the only young girl in the Presidential Man sion at Washington.

That shows that'thc farmers who raise hogs for tho mono) in them prefer blaok breeds. O: these there are three. The Essex it a small hog that takes on fat fron tho start. The Berkshire is an oh standard variety and the greatei portion of the Tennessee hogs hav< Berkshire blood in them. Th< PolandrChina is also a blaok hog larger than thc Berkshire and wei suited to this climate. Tho editor of the Country Gentle man, a good authority on stook, hac tho following questions asked : "What breed of Bwine is consid crcd most economical and satisfac tory for a farmer to keep who intend thom solely for the use of his larder for bacon, lard and ham ?" This question is as important fo tho readers of The Spartan as fo people in other States. Hore is th roply : "For the purpose abov named, wo think the Berkshire wi best lill tho bill.

Recently a groat deal has appeared in tho newspapers about ohuroh at tendance, says tho Abbeville Medium. The opinion seems to bo that there has been a threat falling off and tho reason why ?B being sought after. Many reasons aro assigned, but most writers lay tho blame on the preach ers who have sought after sensation and notority instead of preaohing the Gospel in its simplioity. Thc effort has boon to say somot Iii nu unusual and surprising. Many min isters endeavor to show their learn ing and loso sight of the objeot oi preaohing. Others rant too mud: and others make a point of saying mean things about their hearers This style has been in force for sev eral years and there in no wondei that so many have ceased going t< churoh. Last week the Presbyterian min istors of Atlanta mot to discuss wh] so many churches of that denomina tion in tho South aro without pas tors. The first ohurohos in Macon Savannah, Montgomery, and Nash ville are in this condition. Man; others arc also vacant. Tho only reason why tho poopl go to church is beoauso they wish ti hoar the Gospel preaohod. Whei thoy don't hear it, they (uit going Then a rosort is had io operati music, fine choirs and other attrac tion8. Such things get a crowd fo a timo, but tho novolty wears off am something else must bc hunted u] A writer in tho Atlanta Now sums up the caso this way : "All suoh will never mako th ohuroh again a house of worship fo tho soul of man. Religion is to grave a thing for substitutes t servo its purpose-the soul, a divine, can no moro bo imposed upo by ono moans than by nnothor. An until tho churchos ceaso to offer th pageant religion for its substance preachers and ministers will rac thoir ingenuity for that which wi rcoall the flock to its self-constitute shephords."

Emancipation day was celebrated with more than usual enthusiasm in Beaufort last TuQsday. There was a street parado of colored veterans and colored militia and reading of .

General Robert Small dosoribed the first emanci pation eolobratlon in Beaufort in 1803 and road a congratulatory telegram from Goneral Rufus Saxton, who bad boon present on that occasion. Tho main fea ture of tho day was the address of ex Congressman Miller, (oolored), now President of the South Carolina State Colored colloge. Ho preaohed good will between white aud blade.

Education in this Country. In nothing has tho progress of the United States during tho century recently dosed been moro remark able or moro beneficial than in tho improved facilities for popular edu cation. Whon tho nineteenth century bogan thore was hore nothing like a system of publio oduoation. Schools of any oh a mc tor were "few and far between." There woro a few col leges, but only a fortunato few eould attond them. The boy who got oven a little schooling was tho exception, and girls had oven less chance, tor it was not until tho century was a third gono that tho idea of providing in any systematic way for the oduoa tion of girls took hold upon our people. It is almost impossible to realize how far wo have advanced in the matter of eduoation. There aro now no less than 16, 788,362, ohildren, young mon and women, attending schools, colleges and universities in this country. Of this number 1,503,921 are in private schools ; tho others in publio schools. Tho country is dotted all over with school houses and other odu oational institutions. Tho recent census shows that there aro 244,627 sohool houses and other buildings in the United States dovotod to education. Tho sohool and collego proporty of tho country is valued nt the onormous sum of $524,680,255. There aro 415,660 sohool teachers, 181,793 mou and 283,867 women. How women havo oomo forward in our educational work I Tho United States spends far moro money on education than any other nation. Expenditures for this causo in 1899, the last yoar for which tho figures aro obtainable, reached $197,281,608. The total this year, it is estimated, will reaoh $226,000, 000. In ovory seotion tho interest in oduoation is progressing. Both pub lio appropriations and private dona tions and bequests to schools and colleges aro increasing and tho opportunities of both boys and girls to scouro an eduoation are bettor in tho United States than they over were before and aro equalled in vory iow other countries.-Atlanta Jour nal.
