we have suceceded in so dving. In the

The biblical Recorder contains the
tullowing, under the head oThe Facts in
the Case�:
oBy the courtesy of Hon. J. C. Scar-
borough, Superintendent of Public In
struction, we are able vo give facts
wud fizures of his repory on our public
schools for the present year, in ad-
vance of the publication oi the report.
Phere are 635,455 childeea of school ave
(between 6 and 21 years) in North var-
vlina. Ninety"tive per cent. of these,
which is 603,673, are dependent on the
public schools to teach them to read
and write. Such is the great, responsibil.
I? she does not
provide schools 603,673 of the children
in her borders Lave no Lope, no oppor-

rant utterly, If she provides poor
schools, surry teachers, aud keeps them
culy a f2w weeks in each year. the
chances of these 608,673 children are
but slightly improved. And it is no re,
fiect on on the teachers to say that
this is the condition of the average pub,
lic school; the reflection is upon the
Slate; it is a shame upon the General
Assemblies which have met without
making better provisicn, it is a shame
upon the people who are intelligent
enough to recognize these conaitions
and to deplore them, but who have in-
differently toleratec them. No patriot

of the total of 635,445 inthe State com.

they have no schools, or becaus2 such
as they have are so meagrel y support.
ed that they are not even kept open
long enough to teach a pupil to ead or
write or figure. Do you question? Let
tle facts bear us out: There are 7,171
public schvols in North Carolina. The
amount expended upon .lem for teach-
ers is $690,161.54, which is an average
of $95 for each school a year. Can any
expect to get a fit teacher for this piti-
tul sum? Will any one blame the teach-
ers for not keeping the scheols but
twelve weeks at this rate? , ~ihe teach
ers must live.
oIn this connection let us append two
facts of interest while we have them at
hand. The total number of sehool dis-
trictsin North Carolina is 7,807, that
is to say (bearing in mina*that the
number of schools report is 7,191) that
in 616 districts there were no schools at

Colored Education,

the Atlanta exposition in 1895 by
the more progressive element
among the colored people arous-
ed new interest in ali parts of
the country in their edt cational

general demand for information
on this sabject a special effort
was made by the bureau of eda-
cation t& collect statistics from
all the colored schoois of the
south.
There were found to be in the
sixteen states formerly the scene
of slavery and \the District of
Columbia 8,297,100 children be-
tween the ages ot five and eigh-
teen years. Qf this number 5,573,
440 were white children and 2,
723,720, or 32.9 per cent. were
colored. The total enrollment in
the: white schools was 3,845,414, |
andin the colored schools 1,441,
282. The per cent. of white
b gsiey population enrolled was
69 and the per cent of colored
school population enrolled was
6282. ~he whites had an ayerage
daily attendance of 2,510,997, or
65.30 per cent of their enroliment,
while the average attendance of
the blacks was 856,312, or 59.41
per cent of their enrollment.
There were 89,276 white teachers
and 27,081 colored teachers 10

Since 1876 the southern nkaien
have expended about $383,000,000

and $80,000,000 of this sum must
have been expended for the edu-

The crowing of a cock at an un-

Keep an Eye on Your Matches.
Some persons are disposed to ridicule
the idea that rats and mice ever set
houses on fire with matches, but tle
following incident given the Lommon"
weulth by Sheriff B. I. Allsbrook may
serve to put careless people on their
guard :
A colored man named Henry All-
nin living on the Clark farm on Roa
Moke river missed two buxes ot Matcher
from his mantel shelf, Sometime
Meera seda his house became leaky and
he had to unroof it and put a new cov"
er on it. When he tore up the cover
he found two boxes ot matches in a
rats nest. One of the boxes had been
gnawed through and some of the match-
es pulled out, and the cotton lining of
the nest had been singed. Evidently
the rat had struck the match and the
cotton was teo wet to burn. Tae color-
ed man said ~f his house had been burn-
ed he should have believed that some
person set it on fire.
Be careful with your matches."

ANIMAL ~ANTIPATHIES,
~Mey Are ne Numerous.as the Instinctive
Dislikes of Men. :
A correspondent describes a cu-
rious scene witnessed at the zoolog-
@ gentleman, now dead, who was a
dwarf, and walked with crutches.

lashed his tail, and finally stood up
on his hind legs against the bars,

time were much struck by the
were due to alarm or curiosity we
could not tell.� Probably the tigerTs
excitement was due to neither,
but to the latent antipathy which
many animals feel for anything ab-
normal, either in their own species,
or even among others with which
they are well acquainted. It is the
feeling which prompts storks or
rooks to destroy at once the young
of other birds which are hatched
from eggs placed in their nests and
dogs to bark at cripples or ragged
beggars, or, asin this case, roused
the dislike of an observant zoo tiger
who saw men of normal size and
proportions pass every day before
its cage.
The belief in permanent antipa-
thies among animals is very ancient.
It appears in all the monkish ter-
tiaries. There the otter is always
the enemy of the crocodile, and the
unicorn of the elephant; while the
dragon is hated by the hart, and in
turn dislikes all beasts, including
the panther, whose exquisite per-
fume, so agreeable to all other ani-
mals, disgusts the dragon, who runs
away the moment he smells it.
Turning from legend to facts, we
find that animal antipathies have a

the latter, one animal exciting in
another exactly the same disgust
that a baboon or a black beetle does
in the minds of many human beings,
but the list of hereditary enemies"
of one species which is the sworn
foe of another, and has left in the
weaker species an inbred and an-
cient sense of horror and fear"is

man,
Instances of purely instinctive,
inexplicable antipathy are naturally
the least common, but they are very
marked and definite examples. It is
quite impossible, for instance, to ac-
count for the intense disgust which
the camel excites in horses. They
have been associated in many coun-
tries for centuries in the common
service of man, and early training
makes the horse acquiesce in the
proximity of the creature which
disgusts him. Otherwise it is far
more difficult to accustom horses to
work with camels than with ele-
phants, precisely because the repug-
nance is a natural antipathy and
not a reasoned fear. They get used
to the sight of an elephant, but the
smell of a camel disgusts and fright-
ens them. English horses which
have never seen a Camel refuse to
approach ground where they have
stood. Recently a traveling me-
nagerie was refused leave to encamp
on avillage green in Suffolk, not
because it was not W elcome"for a
wild beast show is always vastly
popular"but because the green was
also the site of a market, and the
farmersT gig horses invariably re-
fused to be driven across it after
camels had stood there. Yet last
week two bears were being exhib-
, ited in Harley street, and no horse
ishowed any fear of them. One
horse almost touched the larger
, bear, but neither it nor the team of
| a four-in-hand which passed showed
any nervousness."London Specta-

FOR BETTER OR WORSE.
Some of the Quaint Old Marriage Cus-
toms and Superstitions.
According to an old writer, the
wedding ring was first designed by
Prometheus and fashioned out of
adamant and iron by Tubal Cain.
The same writer says that it was
end, that therewith he should es-
pouse a wife.TT When paradise had
) quite receded from view, men, who
are deceivers ever, got into a fash-
ion of wedding with a ring made of
rushes, to make their vows the less
ee ding. But in 1217 the bishop of
alisbury effectually put his foot
down on this practice. Wedding
rings were made as often of silver
as of gold and cf fantastic shapes,
with o~posiesTT inside, one of which
ran: :
Fortune doth send you, hap it well or ill,
This plain gold ring to wed you to your will.
The wedding cake is the remains
of a Roman custom. In ancient
Rome a bride held in her left hand
three wheat ears; the attendant girls
threw corn, either in grains or in
small bits of cak@, upon the heads)
of the newly married pair, and the)
guests picked up the pieces and ate |
them. In the eighteenth century the |
wedding cake came into general use.
It was then composed of solid blocks
laid tog ier ard iced over with
sugar. When it was served, it was
held over the brideTs head, and the |
outer crust was broken. Then the|
cakes inside fell on the floor and
were distributed to the company.
Throwing the slipper has an origin
the reverse of sentimental and isa)
reminiscence of those barbarous
times when the relations of man and
wife were much akin to those of
master and slave. The shoc was an
| latter,
Anglo-Saxon emblem of authority
and was given by the brideTs father :
to her husband in token of transfer- |
ence of power, which the groom ac-
knowledged by tapping his bride
lightly on the head with it as an
earnest of mastership.
The superstitions connected with
entering the married state are nu-
merous and curious, and most of
them area purely feminine posses-
sion. Asa preliminary there is a
{little difficulty about choosing aday,
| if this little verse is to be believed: ;
Monday for weaTth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best day of all.
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
- Saturday no luck at all.
If aday has finally been chosen,
then comes the question of season.
~Marry in Lent, and you ll live to
repent,� takes that period out of
consideration. Then cach month
has certain unlucky days, on which

which the prospective bride should
pay heed.
change the name and not the letter
is to change for the worse and not
the better; also that tormarry and
yet ~to keep her own name is to
keep her condition forever the
same. �T
When all these little obstacles are
overcome, 2 bride in arraying her-
self for the ceremony must be sure
to wear
Something old and something new,
Something borrowed and something bluc.
The sun must shine on her wed-
ding day, and she must not trip on
the way to the chureh or cross the
threshold with the left foot first.
The same applies to the bridegroom.
No oné must o)-ea an umbrella while
the bridal pair are in the house.
That would bring the worst of il!
luck. A horseshoe and a wishbone
hidden in the flowers under which
the pair stand to plight their troth
have a most salutary influence on
their future life.
So, if those who are contemplating
matrimony wish to secure the prize
of happiness in that lottery of lot-
teries, they have only to follow
faithfully all the directions here
given."Newark Advertiser.
