I DR. CARLISLE. A Story of the Life Work of a Sout Carolina Teacher. World's Work: f If you were to go lo the town o Spartanburg, S. and spend a evening in the house of any man wh lives there conversation would b ' sure to (urn-on Dr. Cralisle, and i you .should happen to go tu the lioin of any one who lias a direct persoiui interest in Wol'ford college, which i situated at one end of the to^n. Hi chances are that most of the talk o the evening would be about Dr. Oai lisle. If you happen to be at the col lege at a commencement, time, yo 1 would hear a reverent and affection ale allusion to Dr. Carlisle in ever public address, and you might so every class that comes back to its rc union go to liis house in a body to ex pre^s their ailedinnate obligation t him. And who is Dr. Cralisle? A inn who went lit the college ;i teacher o astroinonv ;nid moral science, in 18.V when il was founded, and who ha been there ever since, a p.irt of lli time as teacher, a part of tlie time a president, and again as teacher. II si ill meets 11 is classes once or Iwie :i week even ;il his advanced ag< Doubtless neither philosophers no astronomers regard him as ;t grea contributor to 1 heir departments o learning. Yet it is doubt fill whet lie there be an astronomer or philosophy at any institution or in any commuti ity in our land who has exerted s strong an influence upon the youn men who have come in contact wit him. They do not say that lie taugli them astronomy or philosophy, hn they do all bear testimony to his gi\ ing tlieni in a greater measure ilia any other man a right adjustment t life and a moral uplift?a kind of ii lluence that the oldest of his pupil: wiio are now themselves far on i motile life, remember with affe< tiou that has grown since tliei youth, and throughout the college1 influence men and women say: " \V must send our sons to \V of ford co lege because L)r. Carlisle is there." He is now an old gentleman o great dignity of character and o speech, of wide if desultory reading but not of the modern type of sclio arship. lie is not an orator, and ye until a few years ago, he had t-h habit of delivering a public lectur once a year, or oftener, in the towi and anybody who did not go to hen him lost standing in the communit by his absence. These lectures wer lay sermons, but everybody receii ed them as a sort of halfinspired dc liverances. He has never held a put lie ollice, except that he was a men ber of the Secession convention i South Carolina, and is the only sui viving member but one, and he said to have called this adventure p'cee of boyish foolishness. He wj never a preacher, but always only teacher, and what he taught best w.i neither science nor literature?b? character. The story is told of a man in To: as who met a visitor from Spartat burg. The first question lie aske was: "Do you know Dr. Carlisle? "Yes," said the other. "Are you g< ing buck to Spartanburg?" "Yes. "Well, I wish you would give D ( arlisle my most affectionate regard remind him that I was dismissed froi college in spite of his effort to sa\ mcj tell -him that I came to Tex; and for several yeairs 1 Wricd in best to go to the devil by varioi roads, I>ut that I did not succeed, b cause before T g:d far T always sa his tinner pointed at me and heai liis voice, and they restrained m He may be glad in hear this." Possibly the great business < teaching may get some hint from I Ii simple story. GREAT OAKS FROM ACORNS How the Little Things of Lifo Brii About Important Happenings. Chicago Journal.

U| OUR "JACQUERIE." * Some Facts About Our Vagrant Hobo j Population. ? Few people realize the size of the , army ol tramps in normal times and I still fewer how enort.*;ouslv this I American ".jacquerie" has been re''jcruiled during the current year, 'j There is a new and distinct re-enj forceinen! which has bee j added within this period, a sort of f* juniorM army, a class of bov tramps. It is sj easily conceivable that boy (ramp.c [ may become the most dangerous a* 'they are certainly the saddest an<i most deplorable clement of trampdom. It appears from the reports of 1 ollicers of the Northern Pacific rail| way that tramps have recently invaded all classes of railroad rolling stock, passenger ears as well as I reighl car::, sometimes in such numbers I ha I the train hands fear lo attempt lo drive them out, I hey art lg so far outnumbered in out of the way places by the outlaws. The reports '>1 I he courts of I he country show thai the commit menls of tramps foi vagrancy and petty offences are a re "na.j ?:'ii y (!7 oer cent of ,!! sennf tences to I he jails. Then in the hi rueas majority of cases of arrests of'I u- tramps, (lie sentences are suspended j on condition that the offenders will I of disappear from the immediate nei?h- j rv borhood where arrested. ie, It is beginning lo draw on tines public mind that this temporary (lisa appearance from a given community means the prompt reappearance in ?n the community next door. As James J. Hill, who favors long sentences a with hard labor for tramps, puts it in a his forcible, clear-headed was, to \\ lieu all neighborhoods are fining I he same thing, each community reIs. ceives again exactly as much refuse he as it gels rid of."

Fences and barns arc stripped fur I ire wood; I ires are sometime* built inside of freight cars, causing extensive eon flag-rations; cabins fin shelter of tramps are knocked toSclher out of materials stolen from tailroatl vards or farms; colonics ot small shacks thus built and tenanted will often terrorize the respectable, <l;v:i living community nearest to llieni.

Government Starts Fight, Aga.:ust the Great White Plague. ' ' Indian department is bcyin ! fiyhl at I.ewision. Idaho, t-. !'' ''it I ho spread of : abercnlosis. v-. n i-^ rapidly decimating the In?1 i : ii-. and two or more l ubercu la r amps will be built on t!:< Xez IN-ive reservation, where the sufferir^ red can be treated by Ayciicx Physician .lolin X. Ally, a recoynized authority. The fiyhl is not local, a I of Indian affairs has directed Indian ayents to beyin a ejunpiyn ayaiu.-d the yreaf white playne in every tribe in the I'nilrd States. 1 >octor A lie believes 7."j pet cent of the Xez I'erces are affected with tubercular trouble in some slaye. 1 he tribe is decreasing rapidly, despite careful efforts on the part ol the yovermnent employes, and the battle which has received its impetus from Washington, will be a scientific attempt to remove the cause of tindisease. Indian Ayent 0. 11. Lipps expects to establish one camp in the mountains, where the patients can yet plenty of air and exercise. The camp will be a model of scientific improvements over old tuberenla' camps. A second camp will be established in the valley, where the sick Indians can be treated in winter. Outdoor life and primitive tent homes are to be eneourayed. althouyh tindetails have not been worked out. Doctor Ally, who has been at Fort Lapwai several years, has made close study of the tubercular patients and the causes which are responsible for the spread of the playue. He attributes the yeneral condition to two causes: First, intermarriaqe. and second, ignorance of laws of ventilation and santitalion. TinIndians are inbreeding so much that they are already payiny the penalty tor the violation ot' the law of human nature. i he Xe/. I'erces are clean, t licit homes are neat, their kitchens and bedrooms t'ree from dirt, but they have no knowledye of the necessity ot ventilation. In days of old they lived a care-free, happy life moving from place to place, sleepiny umlei the stars or in a canvass teepee, seen liny I resli air and oheyimj nature's hvyienic laws without knowledye of them. Now they live in fiamt houses, which are poorlv liealtM with stoves and often ventilated only through cracks and crevices. Those Indians who make annual pilyrimayes to the Hitter Knots return in the fall with health restored, unless t lie patient has passed into s, hopeless slaye of consumption. Thest trips 111! o I lie mountains, where tin Indian- live in a simple, peimitivt way, are eneourayed. as tliev art ! ? ked upon as a benefit md to be obtained in isolation camps. Almost every Indian family has one membei with the hectic flush and the couyl that indicates the rapid ravayes o! the disease. The Indian ayent wil labor amony his people to show then the necessity of treatment, and tin cooperation of the patients themselves will be sought. BATS USED AS PETS.
