AN OPEN LETTER
From the Board of Trustees to the Pub
lic—A Strong Endorsement
1’rof. Maddox Complimented on Splendid
Results und (excellent Qualification! —
Hearty endorsement of Institution.
Maddox Seminary is flourishing.
Here is the way the board of trustees
speak of last year’s results and its ad
vantages :
Little Rock, Ark., July 9, 1902.
To Parents Having Daughters to Ed
ucate:
The board of trustees of the Mad
dox Seminary for Young Ladies take
occasion to call your attention to the
advantages which this institution of
learning offers for the education of
girls and young women.
The seminary has recently closed
its fourth successful year since its
removal from Oxford, Miss, to Little
Rock, and will open its next session
on the 17th day of September, 1902.
The president has had many years
of experience in his work, and has
proven himself to be a tactful discip
linarian as well as a popular and suc
cessful teacher and superintendent.
He is aided by a corps of the ablest
teachers that can be found. These
teachers are specialists in their par
ticular lines, thus offering to the stu
dents advantages which can be found
only in schools of high grade.
The location of the school at Little
Rock gives the students an opportuni
ty to hear and see much of men and
things which are in themselves educa
tional, and at the same time furnish
relaxation and entertainment.
The school buildings are not only
cated on the bank of the Arkansas
river and on one of the highest points
in the city, thus giving a delightful
view of the city and of the surround
ing mountains. Take it all in all we
think there are few places which
combine so many advantages and
which offer so many possibilities for
cultivating the heads and hearts of
your daughters.
We, therefore, bespeak for the sem
inary a continuance of the liberal
partonage which it has heretofore en
joyed and hereby express our most,
hearty endorsement of the iaistituion
and the character of work it is doing
Most Respectfully,
W. S. McCain, President.
J. S. Pollock, Secretary.
By order of board of trustees.
Send for illustrated catalogue.
HINTS AS TO FASHIONS.

in the fabric as narrowly as it could
be stitched, although no tucking is
visible. _
BOW-LEGS ON THE INCREASE.
From the Following Account It
Woutl Seem That Crooked Limbs
Are Growiug More Common,
“Bowlegs are certainly on the in
crease said a well known tailor, ac
cording to the Xew Orleans Times
Democrat, “and while it makes no
particular difference in my line of
business we cannot help from notic
ing* it. What, snecial reason is to he
assigned for the increase iu bowlegs
is a question I am not prepared to
answer. But really it does not re
quire the experience t*f a tailor to es
tablish the fact that bowlegs are
more numerous now than ever before.
Of course, the tailor, because of the
measurements he is required to make
may notice things of this sort more
readily than the men who are en
gaged in other walks of life. We
have to measure a nlan’s leg' when an
order for a suit of clothes is left,
and we naturally notice the size and
shape of the legs.
“Some time ago my attention was
directed to the matter by a man
whose legs were just a little above
the average when it comes to crook
edness of this kind. I made up my
mind that I could conduct a little
study along this line. She results
have surprised me. 1 have found that
but very few men have straight legs
•—that is, legs that are normally
straight. The surprising fact about
the matter is that in a majority of
instances a billiard ball may be drop
ped between the calves of the legs.
“Knock knees are not uncommon,
but this affliction, if it may be called
such, is I imagine, very largely a mat
ter of inheritance. Bowlegs in some
instances, may be accounted for in
the same way, but in a majority of
instances they owe their existence to
other causes. No doubt the habit of
pushing boys of tender years out in
to the industrial field has much to do
with it. Boys are forced out now
before the joints of the limbs are
hardened, and they are required to
carry heavy loads and to. do other
things which are calculated to pro
duce the result I have been discuss
ing.
“There is no doubt in my mind
about this practice being an import
ant factor in the development of bow
legs. Of course, there are more bow
legs now than ever before. You may
have noticed it yourself. If you have
not it is because your attention has
not been called to it, for one may
see them on the highway if one will
but take the trouble to look. If the
things keeps up the young man of
the future will have to take a board
with him when he goes courting,else
—but never mind about that.
“Men, you know, I’m speaking of.”
TONE OF THE SCHOOL ROOV.
Something That Ik nifHciilt to Dud up,
But Ik of Importance to
tup 1*111> 11M.
It is difficult to define “tone'* when
applied to the school room, but every
one familiar with teaching knows
what it is, some schools look upon Hie
teacher as a kind of police officer, put
in his place to keep order and to se
cure the proper amount of study; oth
er schools look upon him as a friend
and helper, and treat him as an elder
brother, or, better, as a considerate
and respectful parent. “Tone” comes
from the teacher—that is, when lie
lias been long enough in the school to
impress himself upon his pupils.
When a new teacher enters upon his
work he soon perceives the “tone” left
by his predecessor, and sees at once
what his work outside the text book
is to be. “Tone” is always moral or
immoral in character, it cannot be
neutral, for the teacher is not like a
shoemaker or carpenter. There can
be no such tiling as an immoral shoe
or house, neither can there be such a
thing as teaching, neutral in its tone,
states the Educators’ Journal.
Every day’s work makes the teach
er and his pupils cither better or
worse. There is often more moral
uplifting in a recitation in geometry
than in a sermon. Even the calling of
the roll may be done in such a manner
as to render the school happy or miser
aide. The same may be said of every
school exercise. Moral tone is not
always connected with mental abil
ity; on the contrary, many highly in
tellectual teachers have been hard,
n.iiMi, ituui iiuu exacting. mere was
once a teacher who could sing with
great effect. His voice was musical,
his manner kind and conciliatory and
his whole bearing that of a refined
gentleman. One piece he used to sing
so effectually that tears would moist
en his cheeks during its performance,
and many of his pupils would be vis
ibly affected. It is needless to say
that he attached himself to his pupils
in a remarkable manner. But he was
so poor in arithmetic that frequently
he would ask help from his advanced
pupils; yet the memory of that teach
er remains in the minds of his pupils
after many years, as a bright spot in
their early years, when teachers were,
as a rule, harsh and unbending and
the school room was rarely a place of
happiness.
BERLIN ART EXHIBITION.
From Venice comes the announce
ment of the next biennial interna
tional art exhibition, which is to be
held in thnt city from April 22 to
October 31, 1903. Gold medals are
offered and 100,000 francs is to be
spent by the municipal authorities
on pictures for the Venetian gallery
of international art. It is said that
British painters have found this one
of the most financially profitable ex
hibitions to which to send their
work.
TVliat the Union Pacific is doing in en
gineering improvements is commended to
ot.ier companies that operate in parts of
the country where no such difficulties are
encountered as in the West. Straight roads
are economic roads, and they invite traffic.
1 he wild yanks and alarming rolls to which
passengers are subject on some of them
cause train sickness, which is a form of
sea sickness, and headache, and they cause
a rapid deterioration of cars.and engines.
Those railroads make the best bid for
patronage that promise not merely speed,
but comfort, and steadiness is the more
comfortable, because it indicates security.

One Great Difference.—“What’s the prin

isn't a fool some time, is there?” “No; but

of himself, and the fool doesn’t.”—Chicago

Breezes Not Doing Their Work.—“Don't
you have any servants at all to keep tnis
hotel clean? My room is in a fearfully dirty
condition,” complained the victim of the
summer hotel “ad.” “That is tiie fault of
the wind!” declared the proprietor, blandly.
“You know we advertise 'Swept by ocean

So It Seems.—“Yes,” he said, thought
fully, “Shakespeare was right. All tlie
world’s a stage, but it’s a mighty funny
stage at that.” “How so?” "Practically
everyone who steps on the boards thinks
he is cast for the star part, and as a general
thing lie’s more than half through his lines
before he discovers his mistake.”—Chicago
Post.
No, She Didn't Fall.
It was during the heavy storms of snour
and sleet February last that a young woman
on the way from the railroad station to a
friend’s house tripped and plunged head
first into a formidable snow bank. A fel
low traveler, witnessing her mishap, has
tened up and, man like, felt foolish and awk
ward as ho stood over the temporary grave
of the fair damsel. “Pardon me, mailame,
but did you fall?” he asked, lamely. “Oh*
no,” she answered, smiling sweetly, “I just
went under that drift to look for four-leaved
clovers.”—N. Y. Bun.
CONVENIENCE FOR TRAVELERS.
It Is Found lu the Interchnnsronble
Milen«e Ticket.
The interchangeable mileage ticket is
sued by the New York Central is good over
more than 6,000 miles of railway east of
Buffalo, including the New York Central &
Hudson River and branches; Rome, Water
town & Ogdensburg and branches; Carthage
& Adirondack; Mohawk & Malone; St.
Lawrence & Adirondack; New York &
Putnam; New York & Harlem: Pennsyl
vania Division of the New York Central;
West Shore Railroad, including its Chenan
go and Wallkill Valley branches; and the
Boston & Albany Railroad
Over all of the above roads the tickets are
good in the hands of the bearer for one per
son or a dozen, and good until itsed, there
being no limit to the ticket. They are also
accepted for passage, subject to the local
rules and regulations, on the following lines:
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway;
Centred Railroad of Pennsylvania; Pitts
burg. Johnstown. Ebensburg & Eastern
Railroad; Philadelphia & Reading Railway,
and Atlantic City Railroad.
These tickets are sold at the flat rate of
two cents per mile, and that they are a
great convenience to the public is proven
by the fact that thousands of them are in
the hands of not only regular travelers, but
of many families that travel only occasion
ally. as they are always ready for use and
enable their holders to travel on all the
New York Central lines east of Buffalo at
two cents per mile without waiting for re
bates or proof of ownership.—From the
Albany Argus.

Courtesy Rewarded.
Not many months ago $1,000 was willed
to a conductor of The Cnicago & Alton lla.il
way for being attentive and courteous. A
somewhat similar circumstance has reoc
curred. Mr. H. J. Titus, a steward on one
of the “Alton's” dining-cars, recently had
for a guest a gentleman to whom lie uncon
sciously gave such polite attention as to at
tract his patron's notice. Upon arrival of
the train in Chicago, this passenger, who
was a high official of the Mobile & Ohio
Railway, repaired to the general offices of
The Chicago & Alton Railway, and being
assured of Mr. Titus’s ability, promptly ap
pointed the latter Superintendent Commis
sary of the Mobile & Ohio Railway. Mr.
Titus assumes his new duties August 15th,
with headquarters in Jackson, Tenn. He
will be the youngest railway superintendent
of dining-cars in the United States, his age
being but twenty-four.
