?SS LITTLE WOMA?,
Don't talk to rae of Olvmpian maids
"DI vintly tall and fair"- -
Of Cleopatra's imperial form,
Or Juno's stately air.
Those mighty dames wiih redoubted names,
3?ay erst have held the^r sway ;
7l?s the little woman-bless her heart !
jf Who rules the world tooday.
if
SVuh her wi-rul, witching, winsome ways,
? Her artful, artless smiles
Ber airy grace and her fairy free
* H . wisdom, wit ?nd wiles,
Sie m?cks ?he pride and she sways the
strength,
She bends the wi!I of man,
As only such a despotic elf
A little woman-car?.
Though ber pathway may lead thro'the dark
? . .. est ways,
v 5be always buds a light ;
Though ber eyes be dazzled by fortune's rays,
She's sure to see aright ;
Though ber "wisdom be of M> special school,
Ser logic "just because/'
The Srsf bas settled a kingdom's fate,
^ v The last bas made its laws.
'T?3 the little woman that goes ahead,
Whee reen would lag behind ;
The little woman who sees her chance,
And always knows her mind
Who caa slyly smiie a3 she takes the oath
To honor, love, obey;
And mentally add the saving clause
In a little woman's way i
Would the diamond seem such a perfect gem
If it measured one foot round?
Would the rose-ieaf yield such a sweet per?
fume
If it covered yards cf ground ?
Would the dew-drops seem so clear end pore
if dew like rain should fall?
Or the little woman seem half so great
Ii s'?ie were sir feet tall ?
'Tis the hand as soft as the nestling bird
That grips the grip of steel ;
'Tis the Toke as low as summer wiad
That rules without appeal,
r And the warrior, scholar, the saint and sage
Slay fLht and plan acd pray,
' " The world will wag xiii the end of time
Ia the little woman's way.

The ruain'featare of the Spring Flora1.
Fair of Charleston will be the rose scow,
which will come off early in April.
The committees are now at work and ?
arranging for thc f?ir. Liberal premiums *
are offered. It is thought that it will be
the most attractive show of flowers ever
j*eec even in Charleston, the city of
flowers. Special rates wiil be made over
the railroads and it will he a good time
for oar people to take a little trip to the
city.
According io Judge Wallace, one of
the greatest cause3 of the miscarriage of
justice in our courts is false swearing |
from the witness stand. This is un- j
doubted!*.* true. An7 ene familiar with ?
court room scenes knows DOW preva.ent I
among the lower class of people is the idea !
that to stand by a friend who is in trouble j
means tc gr? upon the witless stand and j
deliberately perjure himself in bis J
friend's behalf. A few well-directed in- j
diet men ts for perjury will do mash to j
clear the moral atmosphere of the court !

Soppose that Joe Brown, the pro- j
tectionists and the whisky insurretion

tax ia order that the States may impose j
. tie same tax the United States does j
now, would there be any less killing of j
revenue oScials and moonshiners than
there are now ? Do not evil deers
dread the Federal law cad i's execution
-much more than they would State laws ?
Would not these evils be greater than
they are now, and woald there not be a j

to discuss the pros and cons of 'Meth?
od vs. Scholarship/ in teaching.

make-up of the qualifications of a
good teacher ; but which has the as?
cendancy, or which has the tendency
to ascendancy ?

Common Sense in Stu?ying.
The following, selected from the
National Educator may be interesting
to the general reader as well .as to the
educator. We have always been in
accord with this view, believing that
the different mental faculties of a
child should be judiciously developed
simultaneously, and that each should
have mental food sufficient in quanti.*y
and kind :
'The opinion prevailed formerly
that one study should be completed
before another is begun, in other
~words, tiiat the study of only one
branch, or at most two, could be pur?
sued at the same time. This idea
gave us the three r's, freadiu; ??tin,
n?hme?ic' Since the human mind
and its law have become a.study, we
have discovered the error of this the?
ory. We know now that man is not
only a trichotomy, but that the human
mind is such also. The three grand
divisions of the intellect are the pre?
servative, the re-presentative and the
reproductive faculties. The "simulta?
neous development of these three fac?
ulties comprises the education of the
mind as a whole.
'When but one or two branches are
pursued, some of the faculties are neg?
lected, and the mind becomes, conse
quently, one-sided, un-symicetrical.
besides, when only one of the facul?
ties is exercised, the strain on it is so
great, that this faculty tires and we
become dull and lose interest in our
studies. For this reason the study of
three or four branches can be pursued
with the same ea9e and at the same
time, and with greater interest than
on?v one or two.
'Thus, arithmetic, for example,
when no other branch is studied in
connection therewith, becomes irk?
some, at least till the faculties of the
mind have become perverted, and a
morbid desire has been created. The
result is an individual with but one
idea.
'Against such a state of things the
faithful, conscientious teacher and pa?
rent will lake measures to guard.
Why is it that so many of the young
of the present day are confirmed novel
readers; with no desire for sound lit?
erature ? Why do works o*j history,
lu-tural history, science, poetry, or
even standard romance remain un- !
touched, rot on the library shelves, j
while the ten cent novel, the 'biood !
1 . , .. . V . ; v^...'-'-.... *
and thunder literature/ is eagerly ?
sought after and devoured with a ?
gusto ? The reason is easily explain- j
ed. The imaginative powers of the j
intellect luve been allowed to devel- ?
op, encouraged to do so, while the !
ocher faculties have been neglected. ?
i
.This is entirely wrong, a perver- ?
sion o? true ?ducation, and we say !
again, teachers, parents and those i
who have charge of the education of
the young atc responsible for this
crippling of the intellect. How sha'i
thc evil be remedied T
' By arranging a common sense pro?
gramme for reading and studying, a
schedule which contemplates tue daily
exercise, the simultaneous develop?
ment of the difieren! mental faculties.
Every child in school from thc Kin?
dergarten up to the advanced grade,
yea, to the failr fledged college and
university student, should have on
hi* daily programme of work such
different branches, as wiil cati into
exercise the trinity of the mimi For
the ?i;rau?e.inef^? of-such :J programme,
lire teacher is held responsible. ii<*
most understand i he laws of thc iu
teiiect aird provide for live exercise of
the various i.:cu!t;es, when he arran?
ges his programme, so that every
pupil vi!! have at least one ? x** reise u
d?iV for the cultivation of th" memory",
one for the po wei a of observation,
one for the "marination, one lor the
reasoning faciiuies. Here is a

Ravings of a Rabid Dog.
The inhabitants of the neighborhood
just below Carterville were terribly
scared np last Saturday morning, and if
the story told by a citizen of that section
iitrue, these good people had every
cause for alarm. A dog, apparently
suffering with rabies, got aboad in the
neighborhood, and not only did he
frighten the citizens, bathe undertook
the job of devouring the whole canine
tribe in that quarter. The animal first
made its appearance upon the premises
of County Auditor Hugh Fountain,
where it attacked the dogs, eating up
one of them all but its head and snapping
off another's tail close up to its body.
Having cleaned up Mr. Fountain's
premises the raving animal proceeded a
half mile further and opened operations
on Mr. Thomas Humphrey' s dunghill
by chasing all the dogs aod fowls off the
place. It then attacked and bit a cow
very severely, and started to go into
the house, but w&s prevented by some
of the family closing the door. The
animal's next attack was upon the ten?
ants on the same place, every head of
whom it chased off the plantation and
compelled them to climd trees for safe?
ty. Passing on to Mr. George Hum?
phrey's, it turned'on the dogs and fowl?
there. Mr. Humphrey, however, had
his shooting irons all in trim, and no
sooner bad the savage intruder com?
menced its pranks on bis'premies than
be opened war upon it. But, strange
to say, the shot did not seem to take the
slightest effect. Volley after volley did
Mr. Humphrey fire with tbe most ac?
curate aim possible upon the mad brute
without even producing a howl. Fin?
ally it grabbed up a full-grown dog
and ran off into the river swamp, and
has been seen co more. The cries of Mr.
Humphrey's dog, as it was borne off
into the swamp between the ravenous
jaws of its captor, are described as very
piteous, but there was no possible chance
of rescue.
Whom the desperate dog belonged to
or where it came from has yet to be
ascertained. Neither has it been beard
of since it quit Mr. Humphrey's
premises cn Saturday morning.-Tim
