Minnesota has almost an ideal agricultural high school. It is on the grounds of the State University and as far as its needs require uses the equipment of the University. It has an enrollment of about JOn students and 3f> in structors including professors of the University and special in structors, many of whom are ex perts in the various lines of Agri cultural Scionco. Both sexes are admitted the girls substituting domostic science and practice for the shopwork and a portion of the agriculture. The young men have practical experience in the field work at the University farm. The course is onesthird industrial, ong^third scientific and one-third of academic studies. Prof. Hays, professor of Agriculture in tin 1 University of Minnesota, speaks of this school as follows; “Nearly | all the graduates of the school not only return to the farm, but gen erally succeed. Many of the young men are growing into lead ership in their respective com munities and many more by their quiet example are bringing about a more hopeful view of country life and farming, and are thus setting the pace for many neigh bors. In some counties this in fluence is being clearly felt.” The university of Nob. has a similar school with an attendance of IKS boys last year. 2. The Legislature of Wisconsin ims passed an act for the estab lishment, of County agricultural high schools, to be under tlio gen-! oral supervision of the State su perintendent of public instruction —the State paying one-half the amount expended for instruction. ; On account of tin* lack of trained teachers m agriculture very few of these schools have been estab- 1 lished so far. The State of Alabama lias an agricultural high school in each Congressional district—the State have sprung up in New York, New Jersey. Pn., and hid. One of tho most prominent of these schools is the national Farm School, at Daylestown, Pa. This school has a farm «>f 122 acres, fine build ings, dormitories, laboratories, barns, greenhouses and live stock. The students are largely drawn from cities and reside at the school during the entire year. A large part of the labor is perform ed by the students. A number of its graduates are in the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, Wash ington, 1). C. Washington College, East 'Penn., h is a good course in agri culture, a fine farm of 340 acres, well equipped and cultivated al most entirely by students. A number of students from East Tenn., N. C., S. C., West Va. and Kv. enter her industrial depart ment. some of these pay all of their expenses by work on the fa rni. I. In order to prepare teachers to give instructions in tho public schools of the State, Missouri has introduced the agriculture into her three 1 ead i n <; normal schools. One of these schools give 10 weeks to agriculture in struction. o. Very few states have a good course in agriculture in the public school, although quite a number require Elementary Agriculture. Georgia has a legislative act re quiring agriculture to bn taught, in t he public school, but the Supt. of Public instructio!' says, teach ers are not required to take the examination in Agriculture. It scorns to me under this state of affairs it, is like tho “blind lead ing the blind.” Chas. W. Davis, N. G. A. C. Those who say that there is no such things as mad dogs, read this clipped frlmi the Marietta Journal. Three weeks ago Mr. C. E. Hen derson’s little son, Ryhiirn, was driving his goat to a little wagon on the square when a strange dog came along in a run and bit the goat in the nose, lace-rating it bad ly. East week the goat began to show symptoms of hydrophobia and where it was peaceful before it became wildly mad, and rushed upon dogs, chickens, or anything else in sight with ferociousness. The goat was fastened up in a barn and he Imtiid the door like a ho d- oml collision of a train, splitting the plank. Tho goat became so violent on last Thursday morning that Mr. Henderson had to kill it. The dog that bit it went on its way and doubtless bit other ani mals and hydrophobia may devel op. An old negro woman in Hars mony Grove is jubilant oyer the new vagrancy law, reports the Jackson Herald. Shelias several children, who have been persistent heretofore in their rcfusol to work, and in expressing her opinion of tho law, she says: “Thank you, boss, thank you, suh! Hat va grancy law am do best law dat eb- or was made in Georgy. Fore dey passed it, liiv chillun wouldn’t work. Now dey gits up fore day and is in de cotton patch fore sun up. Thunk you, boss; thank you, sah!” Speaking of the acquittal of Jim Tillman, the Augusta Tribune states the case in the following true words: “But though Col. Tillman has been declared not guilty by a jury of his peers the fact remains that lie killed his enemy, and that he shot him down when he was unarmed and unpre pared to defend himself. To say that this homicide was committed in selfsdefenso, aud was made necessary because the slayer’s own life was in jeopardy at the time, would bo an iusult to intelligence.” F01EYSH0MMAR for children! safe, sure* A T o opiates mn WEEKLY CONSTITUTION \ Circulation Over 150,030 JShQ SUNN Y SOUTH, Weekly Circulation Over 100,000 Ghomas E.

If you notice any irregularities, commence taking- Foley's Kidney Cure at once and avoid a fatal malady. A r.icrchcni Cucod After Having Given Up Hope. Foley & Co., Chicago. Gentlemen:—I was afflicted with Kidney and Bladder trouble for six years and had tried numerous preparations without getting any relief and had given up hope of ever being cured when FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE was recommended to me. After using one bottle I could feel the effect of it, and after taking six fifty-cent bottles, I was cured of Kidney and Bladder trouble and have not felt so well for the past twenty years and I owe it to FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE. James Smith, Bentons Ferry, W. Va. A Veteran of the Civil War Cured After Tan Years of Sufforing. R. A. Cray, J.P., of Oakville, Ind., writes:— “Most of the time for ten years I was confined to my bed with some disease of the kidneys. If was so severe I could not move part of the time. I consulted the best medical skill available, but got no relief until FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE was recommended to me. I am grateful to be able to say that it entirely cured me.” Refuse Substitutes Dr, C,H. Jones. At 70 of Heart Dis ease Contracted During Civil War— Veteran Grateful. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure Effected Cure. Heart disease is curable, but in people of advanced age it does net readily lend itself to ordinary treatment. There is, however, hope for all sufferers in l)r. Miles’ Heart Cure, which we know from watching hun dreds of cafes and from the letters of grateful sufferers, will cure where all else has failed. It is not only a wonderful cure for weak and diseased hearts, but it is a blood tonic, a reg ulator of the heart’s action and the most effective treatment ever formulated for im proving the circulation of the blood. “During the Civil war I contracted heart disease, and in 1S96, while living in the grand old town of Lexington, Va., I grew so much worse, 1 left there with my wile to visit my sisterdn-law, Mrs. T. A. Kirby, at Roanoke, Va. While I said nothing to anyone 1 never expected to live to return to the dear old town. On reaching Mrs. Kirby's she insisted 1 should try Dr. Sides’I feart Cure. I pro cured a few bottles of it, also the Nervine and Tonic. After using one or two bottles, I could see no improvement, and I despaired of ever being better, but my faithful wife in sisted on keeping it up, which I did.. Im provement soon began in earnest and I took in all iifteen or sixteen bottles. I was re stored to perfect health and while I am 70 years old, I am comparatively a boy.
