Who has ever listened to such a group?
Do you not hour remarks such as

Now, girls, can wo not all abandon the

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.

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

She is rapidly growing well and strong,
her complexion is perfect, and she

AN EFFECTIVE PARABLE.
nenrrn! .Innliert'ii atory Snvrd the
I lf of thr .tnmpaon Haider.
A most Ititeroitiiig account of the
mnnticr in which the lives of Jameson
nnd his mcu were snared, after tbe sur
render to tho Doers, la told by Iho
Nlettws Van den Dug of Amsterdam:
Tho stern old liners, when tliey hud
Jameson and his frd.'iw nlllrrrs in their
httndx, detefi liied to cxeeuto the lead
ers of Iho li-inil ut diiylireak. The meet
ing took plncn in President Kruger's
houHO, 20 Ii; I:ig presuut, of whom the
great majority, wild with imliotmtion
at the sudden inroad into their terri
tory, went for shooting the British olll
cers nt oneit.
Presii!, ut Krufer opposed this stun
ntnry phut i:-id used all his eloquence
and till iiis i :.Iui'tiee un behalf of the
prlntnrs. a long time his efforts
were vnin. It wns 4 o'clock in the
morning, and the president's opponents
were still for execution. The lives of
the foreigners hnttg by a thread.
At length (ietiHi'iil Jouhert, one of the
fow who ngreed with tlio president, had
reennrse to the old time Boor method of
convincing his hearers. He tntido use of
a piirnl le.
"Friends," he said, "will you not
listen to my voice once tnnre? Hupposo
that close to my farm lives a bad neigh
bor who keeps fierce bounds iu bis
linnse, worrying my sheep exceedingly
nud al?o killing some What, thon,
wnnld yon have nteto do? Should I kill
the hounds to be free of this worry?
Truly t::y neighbor would sny onto mo:
'Thou iiait killed my hounds, yet their
value is greater than the vnlne of your
sheep. 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."

EXPERT TOBACCO TESTING.
Cnlinn nnyrra nnil Their ItlKlily De
veloped Senao of Binell.
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.

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."

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:
