I.he Greenfield city schools will close Frt'iay, May ].Tih, but the pupils will call at the school buildings for their promotion cards or grades on Tuesday, May the :21st, so that school will practically not be out until the 21st.
The graduates from our high school this year are Mi-ses Maggie Baldwin, Xida Card, Mary Sivey, and Oriel Binford and Edgar Scotton. The commencement exercises will be held the week after school closes on the ITtli.
The regular monthly teacher's examination was held at the High school building in (.his city Saturday, April 2? by County Superintendent Jackson. Twenty-four handed in their papers to be graded wb.-le a few wrote who did not care for grading.
The school enumeration of Greenfield tor 1 HUo has .just been finished and shows a gain of ol over last year. The enumeration is as follows: whites, males TTl2, females 7(58, colored, males 11, females 10, total 15G1, This is indeed a gratifying showing.
The second annual meeting of the Alumni Association of the McCordsville schools will be held Friday evening, May 2-ith. A great time is anticijmted. School interests at McCordsville are away above par, and they seta splendid pace for the rest of the county. X'tMillie school children of the. county and the teachers also will be largely benefited by reading and studying the Life of Napoleon by John Clarke Ridpath, L. L. D. the celebrated historian and the Life of Lincoln by Win. Herndon, Lincoln's lawpartner for twenty years which are now runniDg in the REI'UIIUCAN. The preparation of these works cost more than $10,000 but your family can get the benefit of it all by a six months suscription to the REPUBLICAN.
The REPUBLICAN has decided to have A column each week devoted to the interests of the schools of Hancock county. As the public schools are the hope of the country no subject can or should be of greater interest. We ask the teachers of the county to assist in this work toy sending in items of news and short paragraphs of interest. Yoa can very largely aid and assist us and benefit each other by so doing.
"McCor«i»ville Commencement. The fourth annual commencement of the McCordsville schools took place at the M. E. church last Friday evening. There were twelve graduates. Although an admission fee of 10c was charged, the bouse was crowded to almost the point of suffocation, while scores were unable to gecure even standing room. The music was furnished by the Fortville orchestra, and this means much, as the members eomposing the orchestra are not easily surpassed. The music was highly ap-
preciated by our people. The graduating class was a flue group of young people, looked well aud were handsomely dressed. Considering the oppressive heat and the wonderfully crowded house, the class acquitted itself in a very creditable m-uiner. The contest among five was very close. Mary Fletcher will represent the class at Fortville, and if successful there, will represent Vernon township at Greenfield in the county contest. At the close of the exercises, Dudley Hervey, of Tipton, took the class picture by the "flush light" process. This was a new and novel feature to all present. The "Hash'' startled even one. Thus the class has passed one mile stone. Our sincere desire is that they may be aide to pass the golden mile stone of life, receiving the "Hash light" of true success as their banner, and "upward" as their watchword, uutii they have fulfilled the highest mission for which they were intended.
Deafness Cannot 1- Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only oLe way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inllamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cates out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inllamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

THE MOST WONDERFUL THING.-
A Man Who Hart a New Experience In a Faroff Country. A New Yorker who recently returned to the city after a foreign tour says that he enjoyed one experience while abroad the lik'i of which he never before heard of. "During my life in New York, for 40 years," he said, "I have met plenty of nice people and secii more acts of courtesy and deeds of kindness than would fill a book. I have known of a skinflint giving money to the needy, and of a passenger in an elevated car resigning his scat to a woman, and of a Wall street man, with Christian symptoms, and of a .smoker handing his lighted cigar
right end. foremost to a stranger who that- aphorism which asked a light, and of a human being who always had a match when anybody needed one, and of a woman who would dote on the beauty of another "without jealousy, and of an entertainer who would cut ior his guest a better piece of the porterhouse steak than he kept for himself, and even of a curmudgeon who would upon occasion give proof that there was a streak of virtue in him. All such things one can safely expect at times in the world. "But, though I have been a customer at barbers' shops in New York for 20 years, I never saw and never heard of a case in which a man, who, when it came
when the btu-ber cried 'Next!' would re sign his place to any other man in waiting. He will stick up for his rights there against the world. I have seen many a quarrel, and two or three fights, between men waiting to get shaved, when there was a crowd, as to which one came in first. I was angry myself one day when a fellow who had been getting his boots blacked in the rear of the barber shop, and whom I had not seen, stepped up to a chair which I was about to take and said he had come in before me. No matter if another man is in a hurry, or if lie must catch a train, or if his wife is anxious about him because he is too lato for dinner, you won't give up your turn in the barber's chair on his account. There is one of his rights a man will stand up for, and you can see it at the barber's. "When I went abroad, I found the same thing in England and France. In London once I asked a barber if he could not put me ahead, and he answered sharply that lie would not do it for the Bank of England. The Parisians are polite everywhere except in the barber's shop when their turn comes, and you would have to fight a duel if you asked one of them to let you get shaved before him because your soup was growing cold. "It was in my programme, after seeing the French and English, to take a trip through the highlands of Scotland. I saw plenty of historic spots as I made my way far up on the Grampian hills, where the frugal swains feed their flocks, and farther yet, where the fishermen breast the waves, but I would give them ail away for an experience I had when I reached an ancient town beyond the Grampians one Saturday afternoon. At the inn I asked for a barber, as I wanted to go to church the next day and must be shaved. V. hen I got to the barber's place, his only chair was filled, and four or five customers were waiting their turn. In a few moments the chair was emjitied, and I expected that one of the men would spring into it. Not a man moved. The barber looked at me, smiled and told me he was ready for me. I said to him in a low voice that several others had been (here before me. 'I diiina mind that-,' he replied. You're a stranger up hero, maybe an American, and the stranger always conies first wi' us.' I glanced at the other men as if to apologize or to secure their assent. 'Aye,' said one of them, 'the stranger must always be first here. We can wait.' 1 took the chair with thanks, and the price of a shave was twopence.

"The seven wonders of the world, all put together, and with the addition of Cleopatra's needle in Central park, would not have impressed me as deeply as I was impressed by this romantic incident, never before paralleled in my experience. I have traveled from Boston to Chicago, from Cripple Creek to New Orleans, without ever hearing of a thing of the kind. "I do not suppose that many Americans possess sufficient brain power to believe in the literal truth of this incident, yet, for all that, it is true as the Grampian hills of the highlands of Scotland, where it occurred. I have told the story to two or three Scotchmen since I came back to New York, but they did not think there was anything curious or sensational about it. "—New York Sum
Don't Use Big Words.
In promulgating your esoteric cogitations and in articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable philosophical or psychological observations beware of platudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified consciousness, a compacted compreliensibleness, coalescent consistency and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine offections. Let your extemporaneous decantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious vivacity without rhodomontade or thrasonical bombast Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double ententes, prurient jocosity and pestiferous profanity, obscurant or apparent In other words, talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly, purely and truthfully. Keep from slang don't put on airs say what you mean mean what you say and don't use big words.—Exehanga

NEW OULKAXS, -I am not a lazy man by any nir.-iir.er of means and in my heart I believe that severe toil is the grandest and most glorious invention that man has bivn guilty of, but when I see a gang of negro roustabouts going through their lirtle net of unloading freight from a Mississippi steamboat I am apt to think that toil—at least of this caliber—is neither grand nor glorious and most assuredly has no dignity about it. The poet, philosopher or whoever the mischief he was who was guilty of the pcrj:

I'd like to see the panegyric he'd write about labor after ja week of it. Do you know it struck me yesterday, as I was watching the men at their horrible, man killing work, with mv hands comfortably stuck in niy pockets and a large rigar in my mouth, thai the famous authorities on economics who I write such big, unreadable books eon- I corning the relation that is supposed to i? exist between capital and labor ought to take—as the most vital part of the equip- I ment necessary for their work—a course in the earning of their own living by hard labor before they commenced to spoil
ject of which they practically and actually knew nothing. But this is off the point. I must tell you of what I saw. I was standing on the levee in Algiers smoking the aforesaid large cigar and thinking how nicely thimrs were going with me generally when I s.-uv a- steamboat approaching from up ihe river. In a jiffy slie was alongside the levee, her gangplank was thrown out, and the roustabouts wore scooting oil' the freight for dear life. Scooting is the only word that describes it. I never saw anything i'l the toil line to equal if. Boxes and balis I and barrels seemed 1o move of themselves
A man would pick tip something that ordinarily ought to take three or four men to lift and by some means or another hurtle it ashore. Tlie boss was a white man who stood near the, gangplank swearing and howling at the top of* his voice. He was big, red laced, double fist oil and course looking. He held a stick with which he prodded any negro who showed the lca-t sign of lagging. 1'rom Algiers you can look away over the Mississippi and see the spires and columns of New Orleans. They seem to riso from out a great, calm flow of water. For a moment: you feel that they tell of a cjry that is submerged. The land hereabouts is lower than the level of the river, ami the people! have to fight its encroaching.- bv

Once 1 saw it- rearing and seething through a crevasse ii had burst in the levee some mil, :eii,\v New Orleans. It had thrown olt its ma.-k of calm and was thundering out over s..u e-n Louisiana, The crevasse was throe-quarters n. a mile wide, and in a few days steamers were able tn sail overland to points !oU miles away irom the river's usual course. The roads were thronged with people who were liying lor their lives lot he higher land, laden with what little belongings they could easily carry. Burii.g this time I had an odd adventure. 1 had come on a.steamer through the crevasse from New Orleans in a place called Bayou Sale, where was staying on a plantation tvii a friend of mine. The plantation was oil high ground and so had escaped the surrounding inundation. 1 believe it was either on the day or till! day after my arrival there that I set out for a wall-:, with the idea, in my head of 1 generally noting the damage the river had done. It was rather late in the afternoon, and my friend get back before rising quickly to look out. I walked on for an hour or so, not thinking much of what he hat said, till suddenly I noticcd it getting dark. Then I turned back and hurried along the road as fast as I could, but whether it was that I missed my way or not I don't know to this day. All that I know is hat, when I turned round a bend of the road I found my way barred by a great stretch of water. Surely this was the way I came, I thought. The water must have risen and covered it in my absence! I didn't stop long to consider, however, but got back along the road, only to find myself barred again by another stretch of water. Things were getting serious. I looked around me and could see nothing but great black shadows of cypress trees reflecting in calm black water that I knew was stretching over and swallowing up everything. A hideous l'ear seized me, and a sweat broke out all over me. My nerve was gone utterly. These I frightful shadows had affected my imagination. Shadows in water have always produced in me a strange sort of fear. I would have to dio here, I thought. I would he isolated and slowly drowned! By this time it was dark, and I stood thinking and shivering when I heard tho bark of a dog.

At once the lit of cowardice left me, and I was a man again The bark came from away off on my right. Goin# in that direction, which brought me right straight off tho road and over what seemed to bo the furrows of a sugar cane field, I saw a light, and in a moment or so I was knocking on the door of a hut. A nogress opened it, with a lamp in her hand. Behind her I stood two nogroes. One of them held a pistol full at my head the other was holding two big, fierce looking dogs that were straining and tugging to get at me. However, they let me in after a short parley. Thoy had to bo cautious, tliey said, because of robbers. They feci mo on corn bread and bacon and coffee, and tho next day one of them piloted mo to my friend's plantation. T. C. BAUTHOLOMEW.
Art Work In Feathers.
Something we know but little about, save as vaguely told by Clavlgero, in his "History of Mexico," relates to art work in feathers, called by the natives "huitzitzilin," and by the Spaniards "picaliores." It was a mosaic made of birds' feathers. There was something similar to this in the sacred robe made of birds' feathers and worn by tho chiefs of the Sandwich Islands. There are still some faint resemblances of this old work to bo found In South America. According to Clavigero, the Mexicans were wonderful artists in arranging these feathers, using only a single feather at a time and pasting tho feathers on a cloth. The work was so tedious that many artists combined for the production of a single piece. Huitzitzilln is a lost art.

Paine's celery compound has no equal as a blood purifier and appetizer, and I cheerfully recommended it to all who, may be iu need of such a remedy."
Over two hundred members of the national military home at Marion, Ind., are using the remedy.
A health official is authority for the' statement that in Indiana alone more than eleven thousand people have been cuied of rheumatism by Paine's celery compound within the past year.
The wife of Mr. C. S.
