No White Teachers
For, Colored!Schools
Atlanta, Ga. July 15—Educators
in Georgia and abroad will watch
with interest the bill passed
yesterday afternoon by the state
senate drawing the color line in the
schools, and which applies to all
institutions whether supported bythe
state or not. It was introduced by
Senator Way, and it prohibits white
teachers from teaching negroes and
negro teachers from teaching whites-
There are a number of negro
institutions in the state, supported
principally by Northern capital, and
they object strongly to such a law.
They say they have chosen
experienced white teachers in the
North, who have no objection to
teaching negroes and sent them here
for this work, and such abill serious
ly interfers with their institutions.
Among the schools affected is
Spelman seminary in Atlanta,
founded by the late Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller.
71 A similar bill, recentlyzpassedj_lly
Kentucky, has been [upheld as
constitunmonal. The senate passed
the bill unanimously but a sharp
fight is expected in the house.

SKIN OF THE FRUIT.
It Is Wise Not to Eat Apples or Pears
Without Peeling Them.
Some people say that an apple does
not taste right when the skin {s re
moved. Some even go so far as to say
there is danger in eating fruit that has
come in contact with the steel of the
paring knife, as the acid in the fruit is
apt to produce some poisen when it
comes in contact with the metal. But
whether these things are true or not.
there is still greater danger in eating
apples without peeling them.
The skin of the apple has alwagys
been more or less infested with germs
of different types, and now our mod
ern methods of fighting insects by
spraying the trees are liable to leave
poisonous deposits on it which will do
our stomachs serious harm.
Arsenate of lead, lime and sulphur
wash and a number of other spraying
compounds used by fruit growers have
been found to remain in considerable
quantities on the skin of apples and
pears until ripe and placed on the mar
ket. The action of such chemicals
upon the tissues of the human body
is very injurious.
Spraying the trees is giving us more
perfect fruit and getting the grower
better prices, but if you value your
health you should never eat apples or
pears without first removing the peels.

NAPOLEON VALUED TIME.
He Might Have to Lose Battles, but He
Would Not Lose Minutes.
After forcing the army of Sardinia
back toward Turin, Napoleon had
scarcely taken possession of the beau
tiful Palace Salmatori, at Cherasco,
thirty-five miles from the Piedmon
tese capital, when uan aged marshal
from the Sardinian side came and in
formed the little general of the French
that the king was about to propose
terms of peace.
“Terms!” shouted the young com
mander in chief in startling tones, as
he pounded the desk, “it i 3 I who name
terms. If you don't accept them at
once Turin is mine tomorrow!”
Although the directory, sitting in far
away Paris, had reserved the right for
themselves and their trained diplomats
to accept or reject terms, the young
general could not delay operations for
weeks while messengers were sent
back and forth between the camp and
the capital, so Bonaparte took it upon
himself to arrange an armistice, He
called a halt to all sparring for time
by drawing out his watch and, tapping
the dial with his forefinger, ordered
them to sign immediately, remarking:
“I may lose battles, but 1 will not lose
minutes.” Condensed From *“ln the
Path of Napoleon,” by James Mangan.
His Indorsement.
The late Lord Roberts once sent his
orderly to the bank to cash a check,
says Pearson's Weekly, and the clerk
wanted it indorsed.
“What for?” demanded the soldier.
“Well, it's the rule, and 1 can't pay
you the money until you do indorse it,”
he was told.
*“Oh, all right,” grumbled the messen
ger. So he took back the check and bit
the end of a pen in deep meditation for
a minute or two. Then he wrote this:
“I beg to say that I have known
Lord Roberts for several years, and he
has proved himself times without num
ber to be as brave as a lion, but al
ways kindly considerate to those who
serve under him. And I have, there
fore, great pleasure in respectfully in
dorsing his check.”
Difficulties of Pronunciation.
What is the most difficult English
place name for a foreigner to pro
nounce? That is a question suggested
by a writer in the London Observer.
He plumps for Southampton as the
most difficult “port of call” for the
Frenchman bound for England. Obvi
ously it cannot be spelled phonetically,
as there is no *“th” in French. We all
have these little international difficul
ties. But the Frenchman gets over
the sea to Southampton by calling it
*Sudonton.”
“The Pear Is Not Ripe.”
Bourrienne asked Napoleon before
the expedition started if he had really
determined to risk his fate in Egypt.
“Yes,” was the reply. *lf 1 stay here
[ shall bave to upset this miserable
government and make myself Kking.
But we must not think of that yet.
The pear is not ripe. 1 have sounded,
but the time is not yet come. 1 must
first dazzle these gentlemen by my ex
ploits.”—Table Talk and Opinions of
Napoleon' Buonaparte. 5
The Model Cook.
*“l1 hear that you have a college
graduate for a cook. Isn’t that very
expensive?”
“Not very. She works for her board
and clothes.”
*“Why, how does she come to do
that?”
“She 1s my wife.”

CURIOUS HAWAIIAN GRASS.
Why Thousands of the Islands’ Cattle
Never Drink Water.
The proverbia! horse which can
be led to water, but which cannot
be made ¢o drick, exists in large
numbers in the Hawaiian Islands.
Among the cattle he has thousand~
of cousins of the same proclivities,
It is a surprising statement to
make and yet one it is limrally
true and so commonplace that no
one there thinks anything about it,
that there are hundreds of horses
and thousands of cattle which never
take a drink of water throughout
the whole course of their lives.
On all the islands the upper alti
tudes of the mountains are given
up to cattle ranges. The cattle run
wild from the time they are born
until they are rounded up to be sent
to the slaughter house. Except dur
ing the possibly two or three months
of the rainy season there are mno
streams or pools of water in any
part where the cattle range.
But everywhere there grows a re
cumbent, jointed grass, known by
the native name maninia. This is
both food and drink, says a recent
traveler. Horses and cattle grazing
on it neither require water nor will
they drink it when offered.
Our first experience with this fact
was on a trip to Heleakala. A party
were mounted on horses which had
just been brought in from the
range. The journey they made was
fourteen miles, in which distance
they ascended 9,000 feet. The party
started in the afternoon and at sun
set halted for supper. They thought
it strange that the horses should
leave a feed of grain to nibble the
scanty grass which grew near by,
but were willing to trust their in
stinct in the matter.
However, before starting, they in
sisted that they be given water. The
native guide demurred, saying that
they didn’t need it, but with the
good natured compliance of his race
yielded to requests and led a detour
of about a mile, which brought the
party to a ranch house where there
was a well. But to the utter amaze
ment of the travelers the horses
would not drink.
They took it as another case of
instinct and assumed that the water
for some reason was not good and
so refrained from drinking it them
selves. It was not until the return
the second day to Kawaapae that
the travelers learned the secret of
the wonderful maninia grass.—Phil
adelphia North American.
Expense No Object.
During an inclement spell of
weather a lady of the order of the
newly rich was so unfortunate as to
contract a painful affection of the
throat, and she accordingly accept
ed the advice of a friend that she
consult a great London specialist
noted for his expensive fees.
“Your ailment is not a serious
one,” said the specialist after ex
amination. “You'll soon be all
right. Dl'll just indicate to your
family surgeon precisely where to
touch your throat with nitrate of
silver, and I think that will meet
the case exactly.”
“Oh, doctor,” protested the rich
matron in a tone of mingled sur
prise and indignation, “do order him
to use nitrate of gold! Expense is
a matter, I assure you, quite imma
terial to me!”—London Answers.
Bismarck Loved Trees.
Bismarck was a lover of trees,
for, though so careless of human
lives, the Iron Chancellor would
never willingly sacrifice one of “my
friends,” the trees. On his own es
tates it was difficult to gain his con
sent to the removal of a single tree,
even when thinning was necessary
to the proper growth of the planta
tions. When he found a workman
laying a telegraph wire, coolly cut
ting branches from a trece that was
in his way, Bismarck was furious,
and not only severely reprimanded
the man himself, but sent for the
engineer in charge and lectured him
on the criminal laxity of permitting
such a sacrilege.
Company Manners.
The teacher had been giving her
little ones some lessons in table
manners. “If you want to leave the
table,” she said, “before the others
do you should always say, ‘Excuse
me.’” The next day, wishing to
see how well they remembered her
instructions, she asked, “Fred, when
should you say ‘Excuse me’ at the
table 7”
“When we have company,” was
the earnest reply. Pittsburgh

HE'LL COME AGAIN °
Atlanta, Ga., July 17.—A fare
well speech by a page in the,
house of representatives was the
unique and pleasant precedent
established yesterday by Master
0. Lee Meadows, 1I years old,
son of Representative C. 8.
Meadows of Wayne county, and
one of the brighest lads that has
served in either house during the
present session. He was given
25 days, or one-half of the ses
sion, and when his time expired
yesterday he did not leave un
noticed and to be forgotten but
impressed himself upon the mem
ory of every member of the
house. By a resolution intro
duced by no less a personage than
Chairman Blackburn of the rules
committee Master Meadows was
given a place on the calendar of
the day immediately before ad
journment and when his time ar
rived he walked over to a stand
in front of the speaker’s rostrum,
bowed, and said his speech, say
ing:
“In taking leave of absence
after serving my appointed time
as page I desire to thank the
house of representatives for their
good and courteous treatment
during the time of my service,
for the able and impartial man
ner with which the speaker con
ducts the affairs of the house,
and last, but not least, to express
my admiration of that dignified
gentleman, Col. John T. Boi
feuillet, clerk of the house. May
his days be long on earth. But
Governor Harris is the man of
the hour.”’
A photographer took two point
blank shots at Master Meadows
as he finished his speech and the
house gave him a rousing cheer.
Southern Makes Good Record
Atlenta, Ga., July 16—More
than sixteen and a half million
passengers, a number greater than
the combined population of Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Caro
tina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee
and Kentucky, were transported
by Southern Railway during the
year ending June 30 with only one
fatal injury to a passenger while
on a train and that one was stand
ing ona car platform in direct
violation of the Company’s rules.
Of this great number of passen
gers, not one was killed in a train
accident.
~ This excellent record was shown
in the official figures given out to
dav indicating the high degree of
safety that has been attained in the
handling of Southern Railway
passenger trains.
In marked contrast are figures
receatly given out by kresident
Fairfax Harrison, of Southern
Railway, showing that during the
same period twelve persons riding
in automoblles were killed in ac.
cident at public highwaw crossings
every one of which accidents could
have been prevented had the driver
of the car observed the familiar
warning, Stop, Look, and Listen.”
