District No. 69, west of Medford, seems to huvo special liking for Miss Oruce Anmnn, who is teaching another terra there. Borne one asks ii a teacher ho ding state papers needs to attend the insti tute. Certainly Generally those with such papers do not ask to be excused Lincoln Savage, who Is teaching in district No. 48, was in the office last Saturday. Ho has a good attendance and is interesting his pupils in some work outside the textbooks. He assures us that ho will bo present at the open ing of the institute next week, to remain throughout. Carrie Beckett has just closed a term of school on South Butto creek, where Ivan Tyrrell, one of the pupils, has not boon taroy onceduring fourteen montha of school. Not many can show an equally good record. In the same district Walter Clagg, eleven years old. and Herbert Clagg, eight years old, have traveled ten miles each day to attend school, their home lieing five miles from the school house. Tho Willow springs school is known as one of the best In the county and now it is prospering in an unusual degree. A. J. Hauuy was employed to teach the school, but bis wife wbograduated with him at Monmouth, likes the work so well that she lias volunteered her ser vires as assistant. So the little folks in that district have a teacher all to tnem tat district have a teacher all to tnem ilvcs and are so bappy that they would koto go six days in each week. 11 mio clour rural teachers think essays Bel lik cannot be had in the country, go out there und examine those handed n weekly by the pupils, containing .W0 words each.

S-Kt-OWJ FEAR OF RAIN IN CUBA, Die Evil KflVct of Wtr Is Not a Mtirt Superstition There, Tho average Oubun Is dreadfully nfr.ild of rainwater, He beliovos that drenching iu a rainstorm, followed by exposure to the rays of the sun, pro duces fever not necessarily yellow fe ver, bat an attuck something slmilur to what is known as swamp fever in Mis sissippi or cbagres in the isthmus of faniimu. The same belief prevails in Central and fjouth America, but in a greater degree. On both coast Hues of Nicaragua a light shower is the siguul for a gen eral scampering indoors and a disin clination to come oat again until the sky Is perfectly clear. Up on the bigb plateau on which the city of Caracas in Venezuela Is situated and where there should be little or no fear of fever the natives are afraid to get even tbeir faces wet. At the first appearance of a rainstorm the cab drivers, of whom there are more than 400, pat op oilcloth screens in front of them and direct the coarse of tho borses'tbrougb a couple of peepholes, avoiding even a slight splash in the face. All strangers from northern latitudes visiting Caracas are advised that not only is rain dangerona, bat that it is not safe to take a bath within teu days after tbeir arrival. Men accustom ed to a daily plunge find tbis advice difflonlt to follow, especially in snob a warm climate. Most of tbem disregard it and find that it does tbem no barm, and that it is a superstition based upon the laziness that follows a residence in an atmosphere so enervating that the dogs aro too tired to get oat of the way of the horse if the borse wasn't too tired to stop on them. The Cuban feur of rain, however, is based upon experience and is not a mere superstition. Now York Press. Mn$wr m mm aufiiont and gt m trial trtuimtnt fr.is H ore alka, and eially.
