stepped to front made a few
well chosen remarks in regard to the ex¬
ercises aod bespoke a patient hearing

by Pearl Wright and Robbie Reynolds.
The audience were so well pleased that
they sent a special request for it again
on the second night.
Kiille Allen carried the' crowd by
storm in his song, “Aint I Sweet?”
The drill in Calisthenics was sim¬
ply grand. One could scarcely children be¬
lieve so many small
could be made to act so much in unison
with the music. It reflects much credit
upon Miss Grubb who trained the class.
While the broom drill was by the lar¬
ger Smith, girls still who were trained by Prof.
it was none the less perfect.

powers.
The characters were all good but Pant¬
aloons Fight. Rejected, Census-taker and
A Cure for Obstinacy were all especially
good. In the latter Mr. Bob Champion
made an excellent old farmer from ttie
Backwoods, but Miss Florence Smith,
his daughter, outwitted him, as is usualy
the case, and married her lover, Mr.
Will Smith.
formance Perhaps the brst feature of the per¬
was the drama “Too 3Incb of a
Good Thing,” in which, beside the school
children, Misses Kixzie Lowe, Ida and
Laura Grubb, Col. Trammell and Prof.
Smith all had parts. As the green cousin
from the country on a visit to relatives in
the city, Prof. Smith kept the audience
in an uproar, and showed he can not only
plan a splendid exhibition, but is one of
the finest amateur actors in this section
of country himself.
From beginning to end the enter¬
tainments were a success, and
the audience showed their ap¬
preciation by giving their unaivided at¬
tention. We have never seen better or¬
der. All went home satisfied and voted
this the be-t entertainment they had ever
seen in Knoxville.
Prof. Smith and 3Iiss Grubb are both
expert fortunate teachers, and any community is
which secures their services*
They are h.>th thoroughly iu love with
their work and are determined in their
efforts to build up a first-c ass school in
Crawford county. They were both re¬
elected without a dissenting voice, and
have accepted the school for another
year.
Surely Knoxville has never had more
competent, skillful and earn
est teaclieis than now. We
would be glad to see them supported
by the people of Crawford county «s
well as by Knoxville. Why send your
children out of the county when you can
keep them near home aud get as good a
school for less money. Let us patronize
home industries aud keep up a fine school
in our county. Board can be gotten very
cheap here, either for the entire mouth
or only from Slonday till Friday evening.
Prof. Smith will re-open school on
him August the 29th. support Let he all deserves. combine and 1 give

Beal Bine Blood in a Baby.
There died late on Saturday night,
at the Maternity Home. Sprnce street,
below Sixth, an infant that on coming
into the world astonished all who saw
it except the attending physician. In¬
stead of prose ting the usually pro¬
nounced pink appearance of a new.
born babe, it was a dark blue color.
This color of the skin persisted until
it died, 30 hours after its birth.
The attending physician, a lady who
enjoys a large practice in the north¬
ern part of the city, and who is well
known in charitable circles, said last
night, in speaking of the case: “Yes,
it was a case of cyanosis, the morbus
ceruleus of the older medical writers.
The laity call such infants “blue
babies,” and the name is a good one,
for they are the color of indigo. The
cause of this condition is a malforma¬
tion of the heart that prevents that
organ from sending all the blood
through the lnngs, so that it may be¬
come oxygenized and changed from
the dark blue or venous to the bright
red or arterial blood, Part of the
blood it sent to the lung, however, or
such children would die as soon aa
born.
“Blue babies,” continued the doctor,
are fortunately rare, for thirty-five
per cent, of them die before they are
one year old, and few cases reach
manhood or womanhood. There is
little that can be done for cases of
cyanosis, except to administer stimu¬
lants in small quantities. If a blue
baby does survive, nature gradually
works a partial cure, and the blue
color fades as the child grows older.
“In the present case no post mortem
examination was made, but [ am in¬
clined to think there was a narrowing
of the pulmonary orifice, through
which the heart forces the blood into
the lungs. Other malformations may
have existed, and probably did. A
remarkable feature of all such cases is
the abn01 ' mall v lo w temperature, such
.
nfants imparting to the hands the
feeliug of cold-blooded animals,
which, in fact, they are.”—[Phila¬
delphia Inquirer.
Bone-setting by the Chinese.
In setting a fractured limb the
Chinese make no effort to bring the
bones into apposition. The Chinese
medicine man simply takes a lot of
red clay and envelopes the limb with
it. Then he takes some strips of
bamboo and indents them into the
clay. Bandages are wrapped around
these strips, and in the outer bandage
he places the head of a live chicken.
After he has secured this bandage lie
cuts the head off the fowl, allowing
the blood to flow and penetrate the
fracture. He then takes the chicken’s
head from beneath the bandage and
covers the exterior with a coating of
glue. The reasou given for applying
the chicken’s head is that it nourishes
the broken or fractured limb aud is
“heap good medicine.”
Not B anted in China.
Iff most oriental countries amongst
the poorer class girls are at a sad dis¬
count. And gallantry is a flower that
is choked to death by the abject strug¬
gle with poverty.
The girls bring but little grist to the
mill, but eat much bread, as niucb,
indeed, as their brothers; they are
therefore undesirable.
In China this is not widely and la¬
mentably apparent; it is said that in
every large city (here orphan asylums
are to be found, established and sup¬
ported every one by foreigners who
save from outright murder thousands
and thousands of female infants. But
alas l these are only a proportion of
those who at birth are doomed to
a cruel fate as useless and inconven¬
ient.—[Argosy.

Sir—I made use of your Philotoken

a safe and easy travail, I used
it about two months before my expected
time, until I was taken sick, and I had a
very ing quick and easy confin.-ment. No h
occurred to pr itract my cnnvsbs
cence, and I got about in le<.- time than
was usual for me. I think it a medicine
that should be used by every expectant
mother, for should they but try it as I
have, they would never again be without
it at such times. I am.
