If we llnton to a crowd of school-girls (and not alwnjs fclmol-glrls), wo hour, expcclully If wu are not very well versed in the sluntf of the day, expressions that we do not fully understand. Hyperbole is also Indulged in to a great extent. Who has ever listened to such a group? Do you not hour remarks such as these: "That's a pouch." "Her voice is simply divine," "Swootthing," eto.,etc.? Now, girls, can wo not all abandon the use of such exaggerations. They sound silly and foolish when we only stop to think about them. Tho only way to becomo accustomed to tho use of pure language is to speak It ourselves. The laboratory is a new and useful feature of the High School this year. It Is something that is ncedod very much in our school. The work of tho Seniors and .lunlors lias been some what hundicapped in tho past by not having necessary apparatus for perform ing tho experiments. We now have a better chance to understand laws when we can perform the experiment and see for ourselves tho truth Illustrated. It is earnestly hoped that tho laboratory will continue, to bo enlarged upon from year to year, so that we will soon have a lab. excelled by nono in any of the surrounding towns. Wc take pleasure in announcing that Prof. Lenkerd congratulated tho Sen iors on their being present every day slnco tho school term opened. ThlB shows that the students of tho class are greatly interested in their work, and mat tney know the extreme necessity of being present every day. We. as members of the class thank Prof. Lenktrd or recognizing our re solve to attend regularly, which we nave so far carried out. We think that one of tho most Im portant things for tho student Is that ho be present every day, for we have found by experience that one day's ab sence means the confusion of a week's recitations.

My daughter's nerves were terribly out of order. She was thin and weak; the least noise startled her, and she was wakeful at night. Before she had taken one package of Celery King the change in her was so great that who could hardly be taken for the same girl. She is rapidly growing well and strong, her complexion is perfect, and she sleeps well every night. Mrs. Lucy MeNutt, Brush Valley, Pu.

Pay thon lnol' Is it not better that I phnnld tako the hounds and go ing into my neighbor's honso say, 'Theso arc thine; now pay me for the harm they huvo done my flock?' " There was silence, and the general continued: " Wo have canght the pack. Is it not bettor to send them to the British government with deinntids for reparation, li st (he Britinh send more hounds to worry us anew?" The old form of argument proved successful. Tho wisdom of moderation became apparent, and the council of war accepted the advice of their chiefs. SERVANTS' EXCUSES. On Woman Who XVnm Clever Rnonsrh to t'lrctimvent Them. We have heard the story of the Canu, dian mistress who, with seven servants iu her bottfo, was obliged to go to the garden nnd pick berries for the tablo. Each of the servants declined the task with the stereotyped excuse, "It ain't my pltioo to pick borries." Ord, iu his "History of Cleveland," relates an an ecdote of Mnrguret Wharton, who, while accepting her servants' exonse, yet nindo them do her will. In one of her visits to Scarborough Mrs. Wharton, with her usual economy, had a family pio for dinner, which she directed tho footman to convoy to the caRenouse. This tbe man declined to do as not belonging to bis place, or rather, as derogatory to his conse quence. Thu ludy then moved tho ques tion to the enuebman, bat found still stronger objection. To save the pride of both Mra Wbnrtnn rewilved to takn tbe pie to the shop herself. Sho ordered one man to harness and bring ont tbe horses and tbe other to mount and ride behind, and thus the errntid was done with all honor and ceremony. Tben in duo time tbe conchmnu wns ordered to put to a sec ond time and the footman to mount bo bind, und Mrs. Wharton brought back the piu in tho same dignified state. "Now," said tbe lady to tbeooaob- wuu, "you have kept your place, which is to drive, and you yours," to the foot man, "which is to wait, and I mine, which is to have my pie for dinner."

The greater part in fat t, nearly all of the toimccn raised in Cuba anil not . used by the Cnlinn citnr milkers is shipped to the United States. At certain seasons of the year the Iluvitim hotel aro filled with tnbacco bnyers from the United States. Some of them deal throngh tho brokers In Havana, but some who know the rountry and the langnnge gn out into tho tobacco dis trict and deal directly with the plant ers, often buying a promising crop be fore it Is picked. Tho tobacco buyer has necessarily to bo a good judge of tohao co. Ho goes down into tho very center of the bule of tobacco he is exniniuitig, extracts some samples and tct-ts them iu different ways. Tbe first test is that of smell. The Cuban tobacco has a strong and pecul iar odor. A little vnrintiou one way or the other makes tlio tobacco good or bad. After smelling it tho buyer is like ly to roll a rudely constructed cigar out of tbe leaf and smoke it. He will inhale the smoke and endeavor to determine exactly the flavor. Ko will also examine the rhIi carefully and test nlno the com bustion of thu tobacco that is, try to find out bow long it will hold Are. It it a great annoyance to a smoker who is talking or writing or otherwise engaged to put Ills cigar Into his mouth and find that it bas gnno ont. No cigar ever tastes so good after it husoneo gone ont, and a fine Havnna cigar is positively rank when it has met such a catas trophe. So ono quality sought for is that of holding firn. If a sample smoked by the buyer will keep lighted fonr minutes, it is considered very good. Some will burn for five minnteg and even longer without being puffed. Ohio Stato Journal. 0ehleya I.onsr Iea;a. A Kansas City innii who was a olass mate of Schley's at Annnpnlis says that tbe admiral was looked npon as tbe best Spanish and French scholar in tbe navy. His department at the academy was modern languages. "I remember one thing in particnlar about him, and that is bis long legs. He is not notice ably lull, but his legs aro of wondrous length and he can run like a deor. In, the navy they never tire of telling about: Schley iu Korea. During the trouble! there we sent a landing party ashore in. . charge of Schley. Tho boat bad not more than reached tbe shore wbon onf. jumped the marines to make a dash for . tbe parapets, possibly half A mile away. In tho lead was Schley. In n jiffy he . was far ahead of everybody, his legs . working vigorously, and when tho em bankments were reached he had prao tioally distanced all the others." Too Cnetly. The Sun Francisco Argonaut tells a , now story about Stephen Massett, so' well known years ago us "Jeems Pipes."!' Wbon he was tho editor of the Marys ville (Cal.) Herald, Mr. Hittell, the,' well known California pioneer and' author, engaged bim in argument on re ligion, which Mr. Hittoll attacked, finally winding up by saying, "See bere, Massett, yon ought to get my book on 'Evidences Agaiust Christianity;' that will convince yon." "Very woll," said Masset, "I will." So the next time he enterod a bookstore he asked for it. The clerk showed bim the work in two volumes. "How much is it?" said Massett. "Threo dollars, " replied the clerk. "What!" exclaimed Massntt. "Three dollars! Take it back, sir, take it back; I prefer to remain a Christian." Couldn't Fool Her. "Nobody can learn all there is worth knowing in this lifetime," said Mr. Mooktou wisely. "And a man ought never to assume that bis education is finished. I'm going to keep right ahead with mine. I'm going to study astrono my." His wife looked at him sharply and then in a cold, bard tone excluimed: "Leonidus, you'll have to think np somo Letter excuse than that for stay ing out all night."
