Terrell of this city ofscbotl trustees to the effect that all Normal school graduates be compelled to give a certiQcate of good moral character before they shall be allowed to teach. I take this occasion to warn certain young ladies, if they clou be more circumspect 1 shall be compelled to call their names, xoung ladies, our schools who honor aud respect their positions shall not be disgraced by joung girls who have no respect for'them- atrives.

a unit to the wise is ficieut. suf- My genial friend Eobert Tompkins has not been able to settle the choir trouble yet. I understand that Mrs. McKeuuy intends to join the Piesbvterian church, whsch has had a tendency to influence the trustee's to au extent aud which no doubt will caue the reteutiou of Mts. McKeuny.

1 am one of the few who believe that Mr. Tompkins stibuld be permitted to select his own choir. Trustee Cornish is still doing his best to advance the mterest of the colored schools. Some people have found fault with him because ho diduot secure more money to iun the night schools. Trustee Cornish and his associates got more than what the colored schools were entitled to.

It is a very easy matter to stand off aud find fault with those who are doiuj? all they can to advance onr public school system, and it is very seldom that a remedy is suggested. Our genial friend Col. Geo. M. Arnold will speak before the Bethel Literary Society next Tuesday evening.

I want you to start ear ly if you want a seat. He has some important facis to relate and it will be a treat to hear him. The Col. is a good talker you know and there is no doubt but that he will disclose many valuable facts that the peoplo want to know. I shall see you there.

The study of vegetable life shows ua many things as strange and as wonderful as the animal kingdom affords, and when it comes to longevity animal life makes a very poor comparative showing.

If ue were inclined to travel far euough we might sit under the shade of trees that spread their branches when little Moses slept in his wicker basket among the bulrusheb of the Nile The gigantic trees of California are very old. but they are infants compared with some of the wonderful trees of the Old World. There is an African tree called the baobab, which lives to be thousands of yeaia old Humboldt calls it "the oldest organic monument on out planet. One specimen of it that was carefully examined by an English botanist proved to be 5,150 years old At least that was the result ot the usual teste for determining the lives of trees This particular tree was SO feet in diameter, and the epiead of its branches was enoimous Another wonder of longevity is the so called dragon's blood tree of Tenenffe. Resiu obtained from this tree has been found in sepulchers where it had been used in embalming the dead Trees of this species are now tan ding- which are estimated us being older than the ICgyp tian pyramids One of the strangest of tree? is the Ita palm, found abundantly ou the banks of the Amazon and other South American riveis In the swampy region, which covei immense areas the ita palm lur-cislios food, drink clothing, and comfortable homes for the natives The Indians that inhabit these swampy districts make a tolerable wine from tue eap of tho palm, and they distill a stronger stimulant by crushing and fermenting the young fruits The food is derived from the soft inner bark of the stems, and is a substance that, in taste and appearance, closely resemblessago.

The soft nnl libious bark is used for garments and for making string, topee, hammock, and the like In times of high water, often lasting two or three months, the natives make floonng9 in the trees with the bark ropes and live theie in comfort and contentment Thetieeof most varied usefulness is probably what is commonly called the Ameiican aloe. It can haidly be dignified by the name of tree, and might inoie properly be called a plant. It giows in South Amenca, and is found all the way from the plains to elevations 10,000 feet above the sea It furnishes thiead for sewing and ropes fiom which cab'es are made stiong enough to suspend a bridge more than 100 feet long. Humboldt mentions one budge 130 feet long, swuug from cables foui inches in diameter, that was made fiom this palm bark. Paper and clothing aie also made from the bark, and the leaves are ustd foi cleansing, scouring, and the manufacture of razor strops.

By evapoiatiug the water from the thin sap soap is obtained, "as detergent as castile, and will mix and form a lather with salt water as well as with fresh," as a reputable authority tells us. The sap also contains sugar, and this is used laigely inthemauufactuieof liquor. It is said that a very intoxicating brandy is another product of the sap, and as the natives seem to have rather intermittent attacks of sobriety the statement is probably correct. The biead fruit tree floiiiishes in many of the islands of the South Pacific Ocean, and also in some of the islands of the East Indies. The bread fruit is a comparatively large tree, averaging, perhaps, one foot in diameter.

The fruit is as large as a child's head. It is covered with a thin skin and has a relatively Bmall core. It is snowy white and about the consistence of newly baked bread. In order to prepaieitfor food it is cut into large slices and roasted. It is said to be easily digested and very nutiitious, and it certainly forms a staple article of food for thousands of people.

Another wonder of this kind is the cow tree of South America, which is ciedited with yielding a lacteal fluid which, in color, taste, and nutritive property, closely resembles the offerings of your milkman. It forms large foiests in some districts of "Venezuela and is much piized for its product. The tallow tree of China is so called from the fact that it produces a substance resembling tallow, and which is used for similar purposes. The fruit is inclosed within a pod. A white pulp is found within, and this substance the Chinese use in making candles, mixing a little oil with it to make itsofterand more pliable.

The paper tiee of the South Seas is a species of the mulberry. Its inner bark is so delicate that a soft and pleasant feeling cloth is made from it, which the natives use in making their "best suits." It is also used in the manufacture of a very line grade of paper. The fiction about the deadly Upas tree of Java, which was published in Holland a little mote than 100 years ago, and which was believed for many yeais, has only this substantial basis: The tree exudes a poisonous juice, which the natives dry aud mix with other ingiedients for the tips of their arrows. Futher-niore, the Upas tree is found in the low valleys of Java, where deadly caibonic acid often escapes from crevices in volcanic rocks. Philadelphia Times.

A "Wonderful Underground I.nke. An underground lake has been discovered three miles from Genesse, Id. It found by a well digger. At a depth of 16 feet clpar pure lake water ran out over the sui tace for a time, then settled back to the earth's level. The most curious part of it is that fish were brought co the surface on the oveiHow.

They nave a peculiar appearance and aie sightless, indicating that they are underground fish. The spring has attracted much attention, ami many farmeis in the vicinity fear that their farms will drop into the lake. Boise Statesman. Much to Answer For.

J. G0lidge i HARNESS ATTACHMENT Patented November 13th, 1888. -0- J. S. Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of tho kind ever put on tho market.

It is so ananged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting th same in any way, right out in the street. It can be taken off th harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its forme style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitch ingaud unhitching as a horse can be attached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated iu less than 5 seconds. It is an ornament to the harness aud contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is re movable secured so as to allow the sprmg to be removed wheu woru.

The particular advantage this device possesses over others consists iu the construction of the case aud arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to auy harness without cutting the same, as has been heretofore neeessary in order to use devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines be iner connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, aud the spring 2 will cast the plate 16 a-side and release the animal from the vehicle. Any woman cr child can hitch or uuhitch a horse without the slightest trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. PREVENTION JUST BEFORE THE CEREMONY.

nammett, Health Officer, presents the following re port for week ending November 7, 1891. Number of deaths, 125; white, 72; colored, 53. Death rate per 1,000 per annum white 220; colored 35.7. Total population, 26.0 33 were under five years of age I9 were under one year old, and 23 over 60 years. 21 of the deaths occured in hospitals and public iustitutions.

The deaths by classes wero as follows: Zmotic, 31; Constitutional, 29 Local, 50 Developmental, 11 Violence, 4 The principal causes of death were: Croup, Diphtheria, Consumption, 19; Diarrhoeal, Erysipelas, 0 Typhoid Fever, 17 Malarial Fevers, 2 Scarlet Fever, Pneumonia, Congestion of the Lungs, 3 Bronchitis, 7 Measles, Whooping Cough, 1 Kidney Diseases, 12; Meningitis, Cancers, 3. Births reported: 19 white males, 23 white females 14 colored males, 21 colored females. Marriages reported: 22 white; 11 colored. Still-births reported: 5 white; 4 colored. The deaths during the last week ending on Saturday numbered 125, against 121 iu the previous week, During the same period last year there were 111 deaths.

The increase this vear in mainly due to the prevalence of typhoid fever and an unusual mortality fro kidney diseases. There were 17 deaths from typhoid and 12 deaths from Bright' disease aud Nephritis. The average age of those who died of typhoid fever was 31 years and the duration of the last sicknpss averaged 21 days. This disease has not developed in any one locality, but seems to be the result of a geueral exciting cause. The mortality from acute lung diseases amounted to 16 as against 11 iu the previous wet-k, of whom seven died of bronchitis and five from pneumonia, while consumption caused 19 deaths.

Another fatal case of "La-Grippe" was reported thus makiDg the third within three weeks. This case, like the former two, was a resultaut from the epidemic of last April, and terminated in pulmonary decay which lasted six months in its siege upon the the vital forces. Diphtheria is about stationary and does not show any immediate development into an epidemic form. This disease is now prevalent all over the northern portion of the United States, and western Europe, in some cities prevailing in a violent form. PERSONALS.
