The Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin of New York,
in an editorial on December 7th,
the government cotton re-
ports and states that the government
always makes reports below what
the crop proves afterwards to be. It
suggests that people find out
in way what these reports are
going to be beforehand and that the
reports are used more as a basis of
speculation than for anything else.
It urges that these reports ought to
be stopped. The Journal of Com-
and Commercial Bulletin
seems to think that the motive of
the department in making re-
ports, is to keep up prices for the
benefit of the farmer, and it thinks
further, the purpose which the
report actually does serve is to equip
and make trouble on the
Girl In Knee Pants.
A girl not sixteen, and
she is only fourteen, has successfully
all over the state of
Virginia as a living well,
a good time and paying few
board bills. She was well dressed,
wearing a cap and knee breeches
and representing herself to be
for magazines. In Richmond
she registered as Harry N. Jones of
Lowell, Mass., and though commit-
ting fraud, as alleged in every town
she successfully made her way.
Her sex and identity were not dis-
covered until she was arrested in
Staunton. In that city she boarded
at the Palmer House and visited the
Y. M. C. A. She took special interest
in the gymnasium and showed
even for a boy, in
the use of the parallel bars and other
apparatus.
A telegram to Lowell, Mass.,
brought a reply from the chief of
police that Harry N. Jones was a girl
who had worked in a mill there and
ran away after committing a forgery
Before the telegram came the girl
had paid her bill and disappeared.
One never gets old enough to
people, or to positive
lessons in contrasting them. There
is a woman here who has suffered
almost every sorrow and doesn't get
one-thousandth part of the love she
gives, and yet she goes around try-
to say and do things to bless
Another woman has never
suffered physical pain, and is
of feeling any other kind; she
wears tailor-made has never
faced trouble of any sort, and yet
she never lives a day without saying
of malice. One man here is
poor and ill half the time, and he
frets because he can do so little for
other people. Another man is strong
and more than passing rich and hon-
and yet he harbors evil
thoughts of his fellows and his

There are men and women who
through some individual endeavor

profession or won fortunes in
the financial world, and as this fame
and fortune have Mine to them,
have denied or shunned in public

were poor, illiterate or had no

assist their community or its people.
It is easy to understand that com-
afflicted with this class of
citizens can not thrive or prosper,
for such citizens are only parasites,
who retard, hold back and prevent
every local development.
however, there are grateful
children, who honor their
ties and their citizenship by being
generous in their prosperity and or

to benefit their home people.

LILLIPUTIAN WEDDING.

of entertainments, if the Lilliputian
wedding in connection with e

day night, has ever been surpassed
in Greenville it is not in the

pants were little tots, but the
of a real marriage was never
carried out with more grace and
attractiveness than was shown by
them.
As might have been expected
when an entertainment is given by
the children, the audience was
large, for the old folks, re
member they were once child-
themselves, feel a keen inter-
est in what the little folks do.
The curtain rose promptly at
o'clock and the scene disclosed was

Every teacher, before opening
school, should have some general
plan in his mind, of what he in-
tends tr In every
enterprise there is a great
to be derived from fore-
thought, aDd perhaps nowhere
is the advantage greater than in
the business of teaching.
In older to aid me in forming
for my self, I subjoin a scheme
a adapted to my
school of the simplest grades. My
school consists of OW forty scholars
and upon I that I
could make four or five divisions or
classes, the first I designated
The first division which
Consists of the more

mar, history, arithmetic, reading
spelling etc. The second class
pursue reading, writing, spelling,
geography etc., the about
the same work as the
the children being younger though.
The class consisting of smaller
attend to reading, writing,
spelling, and mental arithmetic.
It is desirable that as
time should be devoted t
as can be afforded, It is ween
certain studies as
mental arithmetic and spell
we cat. attend to at
as seven. Sometimes
after becoming better acquainted
with our work, we can unite two
of those divisions. All can be

Betide, it is to

No.
The exercises that require the
greatest stress of mental effort
should come in the earlier part of
the day. The working power of
the blind is at its best from nine
till twelve, so a subject like
arithmetic should come by pref-
in the forenoon, while
drawing, etc, might come
later in the day.
Provide alterations that afford
rest or an agreeable change. To
from an exercise in reasoning
to where memory is
involved, is an agreeable change,
for a new mode of mental activity
is play, while the one
just employed ha- a period of rest.
We should have as few clause
as possible. By securing a

some recital ions by topic, by
uniting two classes the same
study by reducing the number
of recitations some subjects to
two or three a week, it is quite
possible to relieve an over charged
program.

pupils of ages and cur
there will be more or
less interruption to the
order and employment of the
