You see, he is being backed in this project by I .-a big Chicago newspaper, on the ( I same plan tnat the New York F Herald years ago backed Stanley f to hunt for Livingston in Africa. And it is a fine way for Wellman to keep himself and his journal before the public. Candidly, very clever advertising. But Walter Wellman has too .much sound sense, in our belief, to ever undertake so absurdly perilous a flight. Like all Artie explorers, he dearly loves the fascination of dabbling4n projects .leading him toward the aurora boreal is; and loves the renown; ^ut Wellman loves life, and he j ' may hardly be expected to wan Luniy nun it irom a collapsing balloon above an angry, icy Arctic.

A well known farmer of the township, with whom the reporter held a conversation a few *lays ago, expressed himself as being a strong believer in the protection of birds, andespecially partridges. The farmer recited an incident told by a once promi| nent doctor in the county, that the doctor referred to became : suspicions that partridges were jutting down his young corn. , With gun in hand he followed the birds to the end of a long , row and killed both at one shot. UiX>n examining the craws of the birds he found them tilled with cul-worms and chinch-bugs. Our I informant says that before the sports commenced killing out the partridges so much such a thing as a wheat crop being damaged by these bugs was hardly known. If true, then these birds should be protected. Secret Marriages. It has been dsicovercd thrt the legislature of Wisconsin, at hs last session, passed a law to .vjt an end to secret marriages. The peculiarity of the law is that it is aimed at those who leave the State for the purpose of getting married, and then come back. The law provides that when a couple leave the State for the purpose of getting married they must first get from the county clerk a blank certificate of marriage, and this must be filled and file.l with the local register of vitil statistics, within ten days af*er the marriage. If this l>c not done a fine of $100 will be imposed upon the offending couple. Marriage is intended by the law to be a matter of notoriety. It is important to the community to know who is married and who is single and many of the regulations presented are for the express purpose of diffusing the knowledge rs widely as may be. Ilei.ce, any arrangement to conceal a marriage is contrary to public policy. The Wisconsin statute makes it expensive to indulge in the luxury of secret marriage. ? j Louisville Courier-Journal. State High Schools Authorized. The State board of ediic&^fon has approved and made^propriations under the neu>ttigh school act for 33 nj#*T^l,igh schools v...^viKiivu^K-ine. titate. J iie act board $50,000 for esffcablishing such schools, but only $20,000 was allotted to this batch of 35. Action on 20 other applii cations was delayed, on account of faulty applications and reports, til! a meeting to he held en the first of December, when other applications which come in in the meantime will be passed upon. The location of the high schools approved by the hoard are: Brimson, Bamberg:. Cross Iliil, Cross Anchor, Covins. Bateshurg, Dillon, Denmark, Easley, Fort Mill, Fountain Inn. Heath Springs, Hampton, Jonesviile, Johnston, Jefferson, Little Mountain, Laurens, Maudlin. Mountville, McColl, Mullins, Mount Zion, Marion, Ninety-Six, North Augusta, Olar, Prosperity, Ridgeway, Saluda. St. George, Union, Townville, Zoar and Williarnston. The probabilities are that a I large part of the $50,000 approI priation will not be used this | year. Improved Postal Service. Postmaster General Meyer at the head of the postal service of this country is hustling about and making important changes for the better. He promises soon to give a better quality of paper for postal cards as well as for stamped envelopes and last hut no! least he will make a bur improvement in the money order service.
