Unfortunately one of then str-uck-a window an ; broke the glass. Yesterday the town was all agog about a detec:ive being here try ing to fnd out who it was that threw at train. Of course the act was unlawful and is punishable by fine and imprison ment, but in this instauce it was doubt less a purely thoughtless act with no in tent to do injury. In any event, be I tween the ureacber. the lawyer. and ths several church members in the party, it would seem that there should have~been no cifficulty in finding out who threw the snow ball that broke the car window, prosecution or no prosecu tion.

After the dispensary was votea out the finances being greatly reduced, and scarcely enough pupils in attendance for it to be called aschool, t.he trustees temporarily closed-.. In the meantime Capt. Bradham had sold the laud on which the buildingi stood to William Hcdge, colored. I directed that Hodge's written consent ie obtained for this temporary closioag but it seems it was not done, and shortdy afterwards he laid claim to the building and forbade any trespass m The trustees and myself took the mat ter up with Hodze, and several confer ecces were had relative to the buildine. Capt. Brad han used his good influences with Hodge and he finally consented that they might have tWhe house i they wou'd move it inide of thirty days.

I have been informed that the build ing was celled at public expense a iew years ago, and that the said ceiling was part of the material that fell into Wil liam Hodge's possession. Much more detailed iuformation could be given, but I deem the above sufficient.

Most of us are familiar with the beautiful and artistic conception of French wherein a young sculptor who is plying his magic chisel upon a block of stone and summoning from the snowy depths of the marble the dream race of his soul's ideal is gently touch ed by the wistful eyed angel of death ind the skillful arm forever stayed. The whole creation is marvelously beautiful, and the world. Is better for ts birth. Nevertheless it is allegorical md misleading. The real angel of leath in the case of the thin faced sculptor was not a sad visaged maiden )f classical profile. In all probability t was a minute, rodlike organism float ng amid motes of dust and known to scientists as the "bacius tuberculo s." The writer does not want to be i shatterer of ideals, but the sooner such poetic notions of death are done iway with and the mass of the people ducated in a common sense way to :he dangers of dust and bacteria the better it will be for humanity in gen ral.-J. G. Ogden in Popular Mechan es. A Wonderful Machine. The machine by which railway tick ts are printed gives an exhibition of ntelligence or what looks very like it. Railway tickets are not, as might be upposed, printed in large sheets and ifterward cut. up. The cardboard Is, ut into tickets first and printed one )y one afterward. The little blank :ards are put in a pile in a kind of erpendicular spout, and the machine lips a bit of metal underneath the )ottom of the spout and pushes out lie lowest ticket In the pile to be rinted and consecutively numbered.

In George I.'s reign it was the bound. mn duty of the mistress of a country iouse to carve for her guests. Eti uette demanded it of her, and no one night relieve her of her arduous task, xot even the master. To the latter 'was m)y assigned the easy labor of ;passing he bottle and looking on while each oint was placed in turn before his vife or daughter, as the case might be. md by her rapidly manipulated. Carv ng became one of the branches of a ood feminine education, and there vere professional carving masters who :aught the young ladies. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu took lessons in the rt three times a week and on her 'ather's public days made a practice >f having her own dinner an hour or wo beforehand. A guest who did not *eceive his portion from his hostess' )wn fair hands would have consider d himself much aggrieved.-London spectator. Strict German Discipline. "German discipline in the army 4$ ;he strictest of any nation in the vorld," said a man who has expe ienced It. "Every German boy must ;erve a definite period in the army. Ee can buy his way out in six months he has money, but the richest must ierve that period. The first thing told trecruit when he enters the barracks s that he does not know fhow to walk.' hat information startles him, because iaturaliy he believes he had learned to walk years before. A drillmaster ets him in a courtyard, and for a eek, often a month, the poor recruit s drilled in walking alone.
