There is no school in the State
that has a more aggressive and enthusiastic
faculty. Everything is
encouraging and the work of this
term, we hope, will be the most successful
that has ever been done
in this school.
The Francis Marion Literary Society,
for the fifth and higher^rades,
and the LTL for the lower grades
were reorganized Friday afternoon.
The children take great interest
in the society work.
This school has been qualified as
a State high school aud since we
have a full force of teachers excellent
work is being done in the high
thnrki ripnurtment- Having three
?r o
teachers doing high school work we
have ample time to give forty minutes
to each recitation, which is a
great improvement upon last year's
work.
Another great improvement since
the last session of school is the reading
room, cortiining thelibrary and
fifteen of the leading magazines and
periodicals. The papils of the higher
grades have access to these.
ISince the close of school last
spring an addition has been made in
the way of a new building. A large
auditorium with seating capacity of
four hundred and one new classroom
have been built. We cannot
express our gratitude to the trustees
and teachers for their kindness.
They are giving us such excellent
educational advantages.

NOTES OF ANIMALS.
The Theory of One Writer About the '
Origin of Music.
Music did not have its birth
"when Jubal struck the corded <
: shell," a6 ignorant humanity has ^
| been led to suppose. 1
Music originated in the cry of . <
the peacock, the bleat of the goat <
' and the croak of the frog. Accord- |1
! ing to an interesting article on the 1
! relationship between music and
: emotion, which appears in the An- J
1 nals of Psychical Science, Dr. Hen- j
! ry Fotherby, the writer, also sug- j <
gests that the appreciation of time j '
and rhythm in music may be due to 11
the rhythmic shock of the heart's {
beat on the circulation. 4
The nerves, he says, may play an 1
important part in the appreciation i *
of musical sounds, and he points 1
out the connection between the <
nerves and music by the tendency (
to express music when heard by
movements of the head and arms ; 1
and sometimes by the trunk and i1
lege.
Dr. Fotherby gives a feasible j 1
reason for the fact that the lower !1
notes of the scale have always been J
j employed to describe anger, fear
and reverence, while the treble
notes have been associated with
sunshine, light heartednes6, sociability
and love. The lower notes
associate themselves with the
growls of wild beasts, the moan of
the wind in the forest, the roar of
thunder. The upper notes imitate
the 6ongs of birds, the chirp of the
grasshopper, the hum of insect life.
"The Hindoo note Sa, corre-,
sponding with our C," says Dr.
Fotherby, "is the note of the peacock.
Ri, our D, was the note of,
the lowing of an ox. These were
always attributed to wonder and .
terror.
"Ga, or E, Ma, or F, were the |
cries of the goat and the crane respectively
and were associated with
compassion and love.
"Ni, or B, Dha, or A, were the
notes of the elephant and the frog,
the former associated with compassion
and the latter with disgust or
alarm." ~ >?.j

Aunt Hepzibah was usu.
careful housewife, and things
dom went wrong under her man-:
agement, but one evening 6he left
the lid off the big canister in which
she kept her best oolong tea, and a
half grown cat crept inside of it
and slept on the fragrant contents.
Aunt Hepzibah's horror on discovering
it the next morning was I
heightened by the fact that she j
was entertaining a friend who was
particularly fond of tea and always
used it for breakfast. The nearest;
grocery store was half a mile away,
and nothing could be done to repair
the mischief.
"I'm awfully sorry, Mrs. Wyckoff,"
she said to her guest at
breakfast time, "but something
happened to my oolong last night,
and I've nothing to offer you to |
take its place but?cat-nap tea.
You*d rather have coffee than that,
I'm sure."
The guest preferred the coffee,
and the story never leaked oat until
Aunt Hepzibah told it herself.?

that New York city, although not

THE HICKORY TREE.
It Is Wholly American and Belongs ta

It belongs to us alone, aDd
ts very name is a legacy from the
former owners of the land. The
'Historie of Travaile Into Virginia
Britannia" pays:
"Hickory i6 derived from the In3ian
name of the liquor obtained
ov pounding the kernels. These
the Indians beat into pieces with
stones and putting them, shells and
ill, into mortars, mingling water
with them, with long wooden pe6tells
pound them so long together
intil they make a kind of mylke, or
>vlie liquor, which they call Pow?ohicora."
There are nine varieties of this
tree on the American continent,
md, although the tree is a stranger
to Europe, and so has not shared in
the legacy of ancient legend and
story with the oak, the ash and the
)ther trees familiar to Greek and
reuton, it has made up for its poverty
in this respect since the time
)f the early settlers in its own native
country. Its qualities are cel;brated
in the American proverb,

remember the nickname of Presiient
Jackson, "Old Hickory,"
vhich was no less an expression of
iffection than a word descriptive
>f his strong and reliable character,
[n the Revolutionary war, too,
hickory played its part, for the
ramrods of our forefathers were
