INS SWIFT SPECIFIC) CO, ATLANTA, U. TEACHING A SCHOOL. POSITION OF SCHOOLMASTER IS NO SINECURE. Bometinea He Haa to Fish to Main tain Discipline One Pedagogue Who W hipped Entire Clasa Muscle as Im portant a Heq.ni.ite aa Is Scholarship. Who hath bleeding at the nose? He who teacheth a country school. Where fore I say unto you, go not gaily forth to teach them that dwell In the land found about lest ye have -wounds and sores, for verily It booteth more to compass ye boxe than to read the stars. O. K., HIS Maxims. It is truth the poet sings that he who essays to handle the unruly in a coun try school has educational work cut out for hltn not laid down in any repu table text book. No person on earth Is subjected to as many petty persecutions born or sheer deviltry as the country school teacher. For a week, maybe, after he takes In" the school he has a fairly easy road to travel; the boys have not finished sizing him up. But woe to him If he becomes unduly confident, for things will happen not set forth in the simple rules he has pasted up above the blackboard. The second Monday is generally the time set for the opening of hostilities. The big leader, likely as not bigger than the teacher, has used Saturday and Sun day mapping out his program. Subdued snickers, inattention to the business in hand, poorly prepared les sons or lessons absolutely unlearned mark the day's proceedings. The teach er reprimands and orders the school to stick to those tasks until they are learned. Nobody is kept in at recess or noon rest, for as yet no open defiance has marked the demeanor, of the pu pils. They go slowly, for the temper of the master is not a revealed thing yet. Just before school "lets out" the teacher rises, taps his bell and, having secured attention, delivers a curt lec ture concerning what has been done or, rather, not been done and his anx ious desire to see Immediate improve ment Then the bell taps in dismissal and the boys rush tumultuously out. firing back bucolic shouts of scorn and defiance as they scuttle away. Then the teacher, if he Is wary. knows he is in the position of the man who has bet his sole remaining dollar on a losing horse he Is up against it good and plenty. He arrives at the scene of his labors on Tuesday with AS LOVELY A BICKER tense muscles and hard face, for there will be some kind of a row before the shades of night fall. It is very seldom that a coward can be induced to take a country school, for his dominion will not last five days. The boys can tell a shirker at a glance and they lose no time with such, but get busy at once. The little boys begin the racket, for they have been incited thereto by their elders, who wish to take a few notes. The big boys have said they are behind the little ones and they are, so far be hind that no help comes In the long aching day. Some small boy fails to learn his lesson. When asked why, be says with a wildly beating heart, but bold front, "I don't have to." This causes a snicker to run all over the room, wherein the bold youth joins, closing with a gasp as the ruler drops on some soft spot in his anatomy. He knows be cannot whip the teacher and looks In vain for the promised help. So he takes bis licking and snufillngly promises to be good, Rage Is in his heart against the teacher and the big ooys txnu. Possibly three or four such happen ings reduces that school to a condition of somber thought; the teacher' Is not so easy after all. Morning recess calls for a conference. Usually the teacher stays inside the school house in deep thought. He sees his work and plans to have it out as soon as possible, for delays are dangerous. He sits at his desk, fingers his ruler and once in a while glances out of the window. He marvels that the children do not seem to be playing, but he has things to chain his thoughts and fails to hear the stealthy footfall on the roof. Then as the children file in, bobbing in awk ward courtesy as they enter, he be comes aware of a large amount of smoke in the room. He is being "smoked out." "Jack Simpson." he says to the big fellow he has picked out as the ring leader; "see what is the matter with that stove." Jack obeys It Is part of the play and a huge volume of white smoke rushes out into the room. He closes the door, coughs explosively It Is all put on and backs away. "She's full o' sumpln'," he gasps. "Why Is the pipe choked V "Swallers must 'a built their nests in the chimley." This sally is greeted with a roar. "Silencel" cries the teacher, his words cutting like knives. "I will do the laughing for this school. That chim ney was not choked when school as- sembled this morning; why Is It In this condition now?" f "Reckon they built them nests w'Ue we wuz at recess. : "What were you doing on the roof a while ago?" "Wuzn't up on no roof 'ralL" "Open those windows. Nobody is to leave the room until bid," says the an gry teacher, seizing the ruler in a firm grasp. "You stuffed something in that chimney. Simpson, and you're going up there and take it out right jiow." "Think so?" is the Impudent retort. "You will either do it or I will have to punish you severely." "Beckon you better lick me If ye kin," says Jack as he defiantly faces the pedagogue. " This places the school and teacher on a war footing. The ultimatum having been delivered the teacher either goes in and fights a winning fight or loses all control of the school. It admits of no alternative. For the honor of the profession, be it known, in most cases war medicine of a fierce and eager va riety Is speedily mixed. In the early clash bone and sinew on the side of the big boy tells and the scholars dance about, hoping for victory. In the end In most cases skill, endurance and high er nervous energy turn the scales and in almost record time Simpson is a licked commodity. He may not actual ly ascend to the roof to correct his er ror of Judgment, but the thing is done and the "smoke out" is a dismal fail ure. In Kansas after the close of the war a set of boys from New York arrived in a little village to find homes. The village school was taught by a former trooper who still wore his blue uniform vest. One of the New Yorkers was the soul of mischief. He signalized the coming of winter when Ice was good and skating fine by putting some aw ful things on the big cannon stove. The smell sent the school to the tall grass outside. Wilson was charged with the trick, but denied it stoutly. Then the- school reassembled and the usually mild eyes of that teacher blaz ed. Wilson was as big as he and fun was sure to come. The boys commenced to whistle In concert with the shrill piping of the wind. One small boy was detected in the act and received a hot ruler on his crupper when Wilson interposed and said he alone was to blame. The pedagogue then allowed he would have to whip Wilson, so the action commenc ed without time wasted in prelimina ries. Wilson sent the teacher in under a form In the first clash. The teacher rose and staggered to a clinch. Then he got busy over Wilson and pounded AS EVER CAME OFF IN A SCHOOL that young fellow right merrily. Half a dozen of the bigger boys yelled foul and went to the rescue. As lovely a bicker as ever came off in a school house followed. The boys had the teacher In under the desk, which was upset, the forms were marked by bunches of hair as some head went against an iron standard, the dust of battle covered the strug gling heroes, but the teacher would not yield. The small boys and all the girls were howling In concert, scared into fits, for all thought murder would be done. But this kind of thing must end and it did very suddenly. The non-combatants were gazing eag erly at the place where the row went In behind the dust cltfuds. Shouts, blows and howls broke the veil, but nothing could be seen but an occasion al protruding headarm or leg which was promptly smitten. The assailants being over eager and lacking the cool skill of four years' battle with the "Jahnnles," were buffeting each other in high vigor while the teacher dodged In and out, missing a punch here and giving one there. At last Wilson sud denly, shot out of the cloud aud strik ing his shock bead against a foot of the stove upset that and lay out. In time too short for record the big boys were fleeing while the . teacher camped on their trail, laying about with a thick cane. He was something careless concerning the part of the anatomy, but he landed. He drove the mob to a corner of the room and con tinued to baste those boys even after they had all made submission. He in tended to settle the bossism of that school right there, and he did. Then as the smoke from the stove filled the room he marshaled his enemies and standing over them forced them to right the stove and pour cold water on Wilson. The teacher's head had a series of bumps much resembling a map of the Big Horns. But others also displayed mountainous regions where naught but hair had previously existed. Black eyes once blue were frequent. In fact, the teacher was the only one in the bicker to ignore his bruises. The oth ers lay on hands and emitted short, poorly suppressed groans at intervals. Wilson crave! and obtained permission to speak and made a manly apology 'be fore the whole school. This ended the war and it was never resumed. All there is to some celebrations, you hustle to get there, and hustle to get back. THROUGH THE TELESCOPE. Has ible Tragedy of the Siege of Lady smith. When the Boers besieged Lady smith they permitted a "camp of refuge" and a field hospital to be established at In tombi, a few miles distant. Here the non-combatants were gathered. And to the hospital, writes George Lynch in the London Daily Express, came every morning the train from Ladysmith, bearing its burden of sick and Wound ed. To the dwellers at Intombi that train brought the history of the siege, the daily bulletin written in blood and dis ease. Women who bad husbands and brothers and sons in Ladysmith crowd ed around always to see what news it brought, and went away with a sigh of respite and relief when it carried noth ing for them. And yet, after a fashion, these wom en at Intombi were more fortunate than the men in Ladysmith, since they could learn from the new arrivals how their loved ones fared. But men were not allowed to go backward and forward to Intombi; those who went had to re main, and somehow or other little or no news seemed to reach the garrison. In the dearth of news one man in Ladysmith had arranged that twice a week, when he could get off duty, his wife at Intombi should go at 12 o'clock and stand in front of a big marquee where he could see her through the ship's telescope at the 4.7 battery. She went there regularly with her child, and straining her eyes toward that sandbagged point above Convent's Hill, sometimes fondly imagined that she could see him. And as the months passed her child, like the others In the camp, grew more sickly, thin and pale. till it seemed as if the Erl King spirit of the tuiasmic fog had wrapped it round and entered it, and made it changeling of his own. But delicate as the child was, the mother was the first to fall sick, and the news of her illness reached her hus band by his seeing one tiny figure standing alone at the appointed place. waving a handkerchief. And there came a day when it, too, was no longer ti be seen. He could not go to them, but had to stay and fight on with bitterness in his heart. A Vanishing Bird. . If the north German' farmer looks with equanimity upon the gradual dis appearance of the stork, the Northern tourist in quest of the quaint and pic turesque will hear of the vanishing .of the long-legged, red-beaked bird with HOUSE FOLLOWED. unmixed regret And what will the children say, whom Hans Andersen has told stories of the stork so wonderful that the bird seems part and parcel of Fairyland? But the facts are that with in the last half century the number of storks in Schleswig-Holstein has stead ily decreased. Villages which used to be the home of over sixty families of storks, and where sometimes six stork nests could be counted on the roofs of ojie farmer's buildings, hardly show a single nest now. Yet the arrival of the stork was always hailed with delight by the natives, and it was counted as much a sign of good luck if a stork built on a roof as in other parts of Ger many It is to have a swallow build un der the eaves.

"Why is it," said Mrs. Miggs, "that a single man is so anxious to take a girl to the theater, and seems to care so little about plays after he is mar ried?" "That's very easily explained," an swered her husband. "It Is due to a certain deplorable but inevitable mas culine vanity.

Ancient Cemetery of St. Paul in Pari : : Hia Bappoged Burial Place. One of the old houses ot Paris, situ ated at 17 Rue Beautreillis, is about to disappear, and the place thereof will know it no more. It has been handed over to workmen, who will demolish it to make room for a workshop. Rue Beautreillis la an ancient and narrow street which the omnibuses do not penetrate, remnant of- the times when the Place des Vosges was the Place Royal and the home of beaux, "pe- ruked," and red-headed. In the gar den of the doomed house, famous in times past as the residence of distin guished persons. Is a grave which local tradition says is the resting-place of that mysterious figure in history the Man with the "Iron Mask, says the Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette. One remembers that this re markable person died in the Bastile in 1703 and the local register says he was buried In the parish of St Paul. Now, this garden undoubtedly forms a part of the ancient cemetery of St Paul, and the church, itself, is near at hand, set in the midst of a cluster of old houses. It is in the garden that the famous Iron Mask is said to have been buried, and the spot is the Mecca of daily pilgrimages. Outwardly, the place Is unlovely enough, ragged and uncultivated. A few poor bedraggled flowers try to live on, cut off from the sunshine by the over-topping bouses, and prematurely faded by the smoke from a neighboring wash-house, out of sheer respect for a great name. In a corner, where are the decayed trunks of some acacias, and where a pool of stagnant water gives an additional as pect of melaneholy, is the reputed grave of the Iron Mask. The old at tendant will tell you that the water does not run away because there is a vault beneath covered over with a thick bed of cement In the middle of the garden there Is a subterranean pas sage which leads by gentle descent direct to the cave of bnriaL . The ques tion which Is agitating the minds of the "Old Paris" society which watches oyer these matters is whether- the aones of this fascinating figure of a former century are really there. This will be settled, perhaps, when the tomb is opened. Will the strange in strument that he wore for so many years be found, rust-eaten, among the remains? Actually, there is on the grave a column which bears an inscrip tion, cut with a knife, "Here lies Mar chiali, the Man with the Iron Mask." It would appear that the inscription was copied from a stone, .which was formerly In place there. The ancient cemetery of St. Paul is now almost built over. Here, however, if one may again believe the tradition of the quar ter, have lain the ashes of Rabelais, of Mansard, the architect who built the Bank of France, and the hotel, now the Musee, Carnavalet, of Moliere and his spouse, Armande Bejart Another Illusion Dispelled. lluthless bacteriologists destroy one by one otir fondest illusions. Now faith in the purity of glaciers must go the way of other popular fallacies. Hitherto the xaa in the street" had imagined ttxt were all the waters of every city and plain polluted he would still find immaculate springs In the Alps. But M. Binst, who presides over a chemical laboratory at the Pasteur institute, having no such faith, obtain ed some ice from the glaciers of Mont Blanc itself and placed it under his pitiless microscope. His verdict shat ters the dreams of mountaineers. It appears that even the summit, which so long remained untrodden by human feet, has lost its purity, if it ever had any. The ice in question, and water melt ed Therefrom, were found, on bacterio logical analysis, to be "peopled with colonies of Microbes." The statement which follows is particularly terrify ing. It appears that "the germs in question were found to belong to the most varied families of bacteria." M. Binst accounts for the pollution of the Mont Blanc glaciers, says the Lon don Telegraph, by surmising that the microbes have been conveyed to the mountain peaks by the winds sweeping the cities in the valleys. Criminal Carelessness. A woman was recently robbed of $3,000 in bills at 8 o'clock at night. her dress being literally cut from her lody by the thieves. An unprotected j woman has no business to be carrying $3,000 at night anywhere unless she : is prepared to take the consequences. . Within the past year the newspapers have recorded hundreds of cases of murder, assault torture, robbery and arson, all due to the criminal careless ness of people keeping in their houses or on their persons, large sums of money which should be safely lodged in the banks. Many people are preju diced against the banks, but where there Is one bank failure there are a hundred robberies. It is easy to take proper precautions but practically Im possible to catch thieves.

Th Following Points Should be Kept la - Mind. ... Beware of unscrupulous dealers who misrepresent the quality of this import ant article. , The best material for Binding Twine is pure Manila fibre. The poorest ma terial for Binding Twine is Sisal fibre. The best Binding Twine is Pure Ma nila, selected fibre, 650 feet to the pound. - Tie next grade is made partly of Pure Manila fibre and runs 600 feet to the pound. Twine made of Sisal fibre cannot be spun longer than 500 feet to the pound with proper strength and evenness. The great question is how many bundles can you bind with one dollar's worth of Twine? Notice the length, per pqund and figure how many feet of Twine you get for a dollar. 'The mixed fibre twine is 20 per cent longer than the Sisal grades. The Pure Manila Twine is 30 per cent longer. It is a simple problem in arithmetic. Use a little "horsa sense" and you cannot fail to decide right. Standard Twine is Sisal Twine, col ored or dyed to imitate Manila, and is same length to the pound as Sisal, is the same strength and same price at all factories where it is made. Some dealers are selling it for a better grade than Sisal, which it is not. When they misrepresent the twine and use deception to enlarge their profit do they deserve patronage? If Twine is made of Pure Manila fibre the tag attached to each ball will always bear the words ''Pure Manila." If Twine contains. any Manila fibre the word "Manila" will -always appear on the tag, for no dealer or maker will fail to put on the labels any fact which will recommend his goods. The "Red Clover Leaf" is the best grade of Twine made and is the favor ite with the farmers all over the Pacific coast, and is of guaranteed length and strength. The Manila grades are the smoothest, evenest and most satisfactory in every respect. The Sisal grades are rough, coarse and harsh ; they wear out the knotters, twine guides and twine holders on the binders very fast and are 60 stiff and unyielding that the knots are more like ly to slip and become untied when the bundle drops from the binder shocking and hauling. or in Some twines are sold merely by the name of - the manufacturer and the salesman is careful not to mention the grade or quality. In buying always require specific information- as to the quality of the Twine, and, moreover, be very careful to inspect the tag at tached to the balls. The buyer, if well informed, cannot be deceived. Manila fibre is all brought from the Philippine islands. The Pacific coast should especially encourage trade with these islands, for they now belong to our country, and in Asiatic trade lies our best hope for the future, for the reason that when this trade is devel oped the Pacific coast will control it and our commerce will increase a thousand fold. The only check that can be put upon the rapacity of the producers of Sisal fibre in Yucatan (which is the cause of the present high price of twine) is the largest possible use of Manila fibre. Reduce the demand for Sisal Twine 25 per cent and you will see twine prices decline at once. Owing to possible market changes we do not quote prices in this article, but we will at all times sell at reasonable pi ices based on the cost of the goods, and we will tell the truth about the twine and will not resort to any misrepresentation. Our grades and brands are: Pure Manila, "Red Clover Leaf" brand, 650 feet to the pound. Mixed Fibre "Manila,-' 600 feet to pound. Colored Sisal, "Standard," 500 feet to pound. Sisal, "Pure Sisal," 500 feet to pound. THE PORTLAND CORDAGE CO. Patronize home manufactures. AU our twine is made in Oregon.
