ftSCKNKY PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Eeb«es and Items tr im the Pinekjwy Pnklk SrfcooU

How we study history in the tenth, grade: The subject of United 8tates History, wbicb is completed in the 8rh grade, or last year in the Grammaf Dep't., is again taken op and reviewed in the 10th grade. In this review w« work from outlines made b j the teach­er or by the class, using books of ref­erence freely.

To aid in connecting the history of our country with its geography, each pupil prepares an outline map of North America, which is to be filled in from time to time as the study of the vari­ous topics of the history goes on. The maps are drawn on the simple and easy plan described in Harper's ScHoel Geography. They are copied from the map of North America in the above named book, but mnch enlarged. Most of the class use drawing papei», and we are instructed to be very neat and accurate in the , work and to keep it well up with the daily lessons. 0» our maps are now shown the voyages and discoveries of Columbus and his contemporaries, the exploration of Ponce de Leon, De Soto, and others, the grants of land by king James the I to the Plymouth and London Com* panie3, the first settlements in the Col" onies: and many other things. We are all mnch interested in the study and our teacher gives us c redit for doinf excellent work. This outline review extends over the fall term. At its close the finished maps are to be care­fully examined and graded by oar in* structor. Monday and Tuesday the lesson outline embraced the entire ac­count of the French and Indian war. It is a most fruitful and interesting subject, showing clearly as it does the training the Colonies were, in the hands of providence, undergoing for the coming struggle for independence.

A|? APPEAL TO TH» OBNKROTJS.

There is in the N. E. corner of our beautiful school building a cosy little room called by courtesy "The Libra* ry," though it does not contain a single volume. Its only furniture is the an* tiquated table which escaped the fire that laid the old school house in ashes.

Will not some one who is a friend of education and of youth, deserve and receive the lasting gratitude of the present and all future students of Pinckney schools, by contributing a few appropriate books as a nucleus for the formation of a valuable library? Such instances are not rare in the history of other schools. Many a greater enterprise has as humble a be* ginning. In the year 1700, ten clergy­men bringing each a few books from his scanty library, met at Branford, Conn., and depositing their gifts upon a table, said, "I give these books for the founding of a college in this colony.11

Such was the the origin of Yale Col­lege, long since of world wide fame.

GRAMMAR DEPARTMENT.

Enrollment 44, ten more than last year at this time.

This department is thoroughly graded and every pupil is taking hold of his portion of the work laid out with a zeal sure to win success.

The grammar tablets used in the-eighth grade will give good satisfac­tion. This class need supplementary work in Arith. also.

i Louis Rollison, aged 16, daughter of

John Rollison, died Sunday evening a t 6 o'clock, of consumption, at her home in this village. The funeral took place-Tuesday morning from the boose, and was largely attended by her school mates. The deceased, calm and re­signed in her last boors, selected the* hymns, the text an*1 Rev. M. fl. Pettit to preach the funeral—Livingston Re-J publican.

Pinckney Dispatch. I. D. BENNETT, EDITOR MID PROPRIETOR

iHuckney, Michigan. Tnureciay, October 8(1,1889. NOTICE! Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 1, 1889.

Thp wanderers are nearly all home and the great houses of the northwest are again cheery with hustle and life. Along the avenues the equipages of the fashionable roll, and in the parks the nurse girls are once more on hand with their pretty infantry, children brown with the tan of sea and moun­tains. There is however one notable wanderer who does not come back, and be is President Harrison. That he makes a mistake in junketing around the country and carrying the capital in his coat tail pocket, his enemies in­sist. The talk of his chumming at Deer Pa/rk with Steve El kins, Davis and Camden and of' Windom's influence will not soon die out. President Har­rison might have selected a better summering point than Deer Park, the summer home of the most notorious political brigade in the country, a triumvtrate that represents wall street in its most vicious aspect.

This intimacy has been of the closest character. Even the children are tangled up in it. The daily paper in­forms us that young Blaine Elkins gives a small party at which Baby McKee is the honored guest, and these august infants pledge each other etern­al friendship. And this precious scion of the Elkins tribe undoubtedly adroit­ly swells the head of the young McKee while a more experienced Elkins swells the skull of the Baby's grandfather on the front porch. The President might do worse than come home and take up the burden of state again. It is not too warm to sleep in the White House now and the cold nights have killed the mosquitoes.

If the President were here he might have a better opportunity to consult with the leaders as to a successor to Corporal Tanner as Commissioner of Pensions. He did feel it necessary to come here to secure the Corporal's resignation, but allow his haste to get the better of him in supposing that Ex-Representative Warner would jump at the appointment. It is most likely that General Warner will not accept the office at all, although the President sticks to the idea of his acceptance With all the tenacity ol a man who has once solved a problem to his own satis­faction and cannot get the result veri­fied.

Geo. S. Merrill of Massachusetts. Would doubtless be willing to accept the position, but in stating an inter­view for publication that a man must be selected for the position who is "not committed to service pensions" he killed his chances, unless be can explain the language satisfactory. Anyone who wants to be a Commissioner of Pensions should avoid a newspaper reporter as he would the plague, for the adminis­tration has not yet determined upon its pension policy and may not until well along in the next Congressional session. In the meantime, silence is insisted upon.

We have the notable example of Mr. Hiram Smith, deputy commissioner of pensions. Xo sooner was Corporal Tanner bounced and the charge of the Bureau given him pending the appoint raent of a successor, than the deputy Smith swelled up with importance. He at once, under a mistaken notion that the administration would be pleased with the general reversal of of all of Mr. Tanner's plans, rescinded several orders that he had beep pro­mulgated by the Corporal. On last Wednesday Secretary Noble sat upon Smith with a dull, sickening thud and he has not been heard to utter a sound since. His indiscretion, together with the fact that he had his own pension re-rated during the wholesale grab by the Pension office clique of clerks, will doubtless cause his removal, in the tender and expressive language of the street Mr. Smith has been "too fresh."

The sheep who wait until their lead­er goes through the gap in the fence are not such fools as they look. If Corporal Tannner had waited to see what his leader intended to do he would be in the Pension office yet, and if Mr. Smith had not blindly starled m for himself he would not be so chop-fallen this evening.

Mr. Carpenter left in September last for Japan and went thereon to all the or­iental countries. He had wit])- him a photograph outfit, a .tA'j^'writer and his wife to operate the type-writer. The amount ot work he supplied to a syndicate during the ttip and the amount he brintrs back is tremendous.

LOVE'S SUFFICIENCY.

*Ti» Mid by poet, it is better far To love and lose

Than never to have loved at all. But I— I may not cboo&e,

JTor there has come into my life a love So fierce, so strong,

9feat I am helpless in its grasp, content To drift along.

J 4 £ r s t I knew not 'twas Love's sea I had ^ ; Bet sail upon;

sj fc. happy, floated on, with half-closed eyes Through shade and sun;

What heeded I which way I went, with him My boat to «ruide?—

What dangers had the unknown sea if he Was by my side*

I woke to find myself in waters strange, No land la ui^ht;

All things seemed radiant, new. A mighty Hood

Of rare delight Swept o'er my startled soul; the sky, the

waves With glory shone,

<jt# was reveal d the rapturous thrill of ;f love,

Till then unknown. And now let shndows full, let storms arise,

Cn his dear breast Shielded and safe 1 lie, while shelf ring

arms Fold me to rest.

The night oiuy come, it holds no dread for me;

His tender kiss Soothes all my tears and fills my happy

huut t With perfect bliss.

CHAPTER I.

••I have put your luggage in the van nearest the engine, miss. You will not have to change until you get to York.1 '

"Many thanks!" There was a sl ight clinking noise as

Bomo Bilver slid from the young lady's daintily-gloved fingers, into the por­ter 's hand.

He touehed his cap again, "Much obliged, miss! You are sure

there is nothing more . I can do for you? '

"Quite sure, I thank you." The speaker . nodded and smiled.

Such a sweet b r igh t smile it was that a gentleman seated in the opposite corner of the carr iage inwardly envied the fortunate recipient. He watched his companion furtively as the train moved out of the station and she com­menced to a r range her rugs and sett le herself comfortably in her corner.

There were many little preparat ions to be made before her ar rangements were comple ed, First of all he r gloves came oil', were rolled up into a tight lit.le ball and put carefully into her traveling-bag; then a doubt seized her a i to the safety of her ticket, and her purse had to be taken from the very bottom of h e r bag and the con­tents seriously investigated; finally, her hat, a l a r jo Gainsborough with soft black feathers drooping over the brim, was carefully removed and placed on the shelf overhead, and re­placed by a dainty black velvet hood lined with pule pink satin, and tied coquettishly under the wearer 's dimpled chin with black velvet strings.

Her companion watched the pro­ceedings with intense intorest, and found himself wondering if the girl knew what a charming selling the velvet hood made for the fair face with its s t raight dark brows, soft dark blue eyes and rose leaf complexion. He wondered, and then smiled to himself at the absurdity of so doing.

"Has there ever yet been a woman who was ignorant of her own charms —of how best to set them off?" he thought cynically.

But, though somewhat cynical, he was sociably disposed, and it was not long before he had changed his seat to the other end of the carriage and opened un animated conversation with the young lady. She was equally in­clined to be communicative.

She had travelled from Calais to Dover the day before, she informed him; they had had ra ther a rough passage, but she had not been like most of the passengers—indeed, she had quite enjoyed the crossing, for she had remained on deck nearly all the time, and the captain had taken care of her, and it was beautiful to watch the great waves, and to feel the i t ea roe r r i se and fall with them.

"Why* you have had quite a long rneyJ" he r companion said pleasant-

"Real ly?"—and the girl opened her eyes in unfeigned surprise, and looked curiously at her companion. " I should not have thought it likely," she went on, aflor a little pause.

The genilemuu laughed. " I said a degenerate member, you

must bear in mind," he answered dry­ly. " I t is muny a long year now smce I turned aside from the ways of my forefa' hers, and, though I live in the very midst of a Quaker neighbor­hood, many a long year since I have been in a meeting house. I dare say, since your friends are Quakers , you may have heard of Pennington, in Yorkshire? It is a grea t Quaker town, you know."

"Pennington? Why, that is where my friends live!" the girl said, with a little surprise and pleasure in her clear tone. "Perhaps you may know them? Their name is Bevan, and they live at a house called Bovan Hall, a few miles from Pennington."

"Why, ofx'ourse 1 know them well. I live within a mile of Bevan Ha l l , " and the gentleman looked at his companion with grea ter curiosity, not unmixed with ' oiupassion. "Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Cleveland —Noel Cleveland—and I live at a tumble-down place called the Priory, about, as I said before, a mile from your friends' house. So we shall be neighbors, you see. Now you must tell me your name, please."

"Cer ia in ly;" and the girl smiled and colored, and looked pre t t ie r than ever, Mr. Cleveland thought; " i t is Teresa Mary Cardine. And >o you know my friends? Tha t is quite delightful, for you « an toil mo all about them!"

"All about them?"—and Mr. Cleve­land loo.kcd amused. " W h a t do you mean? Do you wish to know if they a re r,ch and respectable—or what?"

"Are they nice?" "Nice? That is such a dubious term!

Our views of niceness may be totally opposite, you know," Mr. Cleveland answered wi h a careless laugh. "Don ' t you know them at al l?"

"No: my mother and Mrs. Bovan were distant relatives. They were very great friends as girls; and, when my mother and father died years ago, Mrs. Bovan promised I should live with her as soon as I had completed my education," Miss Cardineanswered.

" Is she your guardian?" "Oh, no! My g ia rd i an is a Mr.

Sharpe, a lawyer; but I am of age now; I was two lty-ono last month ," the girl returned cheerfully. "Mrs . Bevan used to write to me very often at one time—such kind letters!—but lately her daughter has written in­stead, .Mrs. Bevan is get t ing old now, I suppose? She was much older than my mother, I know."

"Yes.; she has been quite an invalid for the past five years. You will like her very much, I am sure—-ho is such a quiet, gentle old lady. 1 was very fond as a boy of Mrs. Bevan."

"And her son—Mr. Austen Bevan— what is he l ike?"

"Austen? Oh, ho is a good fellow enough—rather crotchety and .odd sometimes!"

"And the daughter—Mrs. Callen-der? Somehow I don't th ink I should get on with he r , " Miss Cardine went on meditatively. "The re is some­thing about h e r letters—a flavor, if I may so describe it, of prunes and prism—whieh does not commend itself favorably to my notice. Wha t kind of a person is she?"

Mr. Cleveland stroked his mustache gravely,

" I assure you she is an inestimable person," ho answered deliberately. "She is devoted to all good works— she is a district-visiting lady, a Sun­day school teacher, a prominent mem­ber of the Blue Ribbon movement, and she ha-*, I believe, in addition to all this, s t rong yearnings after the Salva­tion Army."

" I am surprised at tha t ! I should have thought tha t the Salvation Army and the Society of Friends wero dia­metrically opposed to each o ther , " Miss Cardine remarked.

"So they are ; but I cannot help thinking that the olice of captain or major in the army would have an al­most irresistible at trac ion to Mrs. Callender,1 ' Mr. Cleveland replied. "She would look woll a t the head of a regime*nt waving on her followers with a gingham umbrella! She is one of those women—happy for the peace of the inferior sex, that they a re few in number—who are born to command."

" I think she must be a very objec­tionable woman," Miss Cardine ob­served disdainfully. "Wjll she expect me to interest myself in these move­ments , I wonderP"

"Of couse she will. I t depends on yourself how far h e r expectations will be realized," Mr. Cleveland answered dryly. "If you assert your r igh ts and stick up for yourself, you will get on with her well enough, I dare say; but

she rides rough shod over weak or j ninff of harvesting of the crop unti l i t timid people."

"Oh, I can stick up for myself well enough—never fear!"—and Miss Car-dine's eyes sparkled dangerously. "Thank you for the hint—now I shall know how to shape my course. Do you often visit at the Ha l l?"

"Very rarely now. Austen and I were frieni as boys*—we a re about the same ag t , and we went to the same school; but we drifted apar t long ago. I don't see much of him now."

Is stored in the barn the gra in and fodder require handling several t imes . In fact, the corn crop is a double crop, as the fodder is fully as va luab le as the grain, if proper.y saved, and must be handled with a view of saving labor at all stages. The early corn re­quires planting, seeding and frequent cultivation, while the matured corn entails the labor of cutting the stalks, shocking, husking and «hauling.

TO BE CONTINUED.

Figuring the Profits. In making up the cost of any crop

the work shou.d always be considered at i;s market price. This is the rule with mechanics and contractors in es­t imating the cost of work. A fair I ^ P * hauling the fodder to the barn, price is always charged for it, with an j w i l 1 b e avoided in winter, while the additional per cent .or profit and risk J damage that usually happens to the of lo-s . • The farmer's t ime and that g ra in ' f rom fallen shocks, dampness, of his team are certainly worlh the mice, birds, etc., will also be avoided,

; which is a saving more th in equival­ent to the labor of securing the grain. In this manner the grain is a t once re­moved from the stalk, and thereby kept dry and protected from cold. It will cure better, and be more palatable to stock.

It is as important to store the fodder under cover as it is the g ra in , but the fodder is left in the field for conveni­ence in husking, as it is a bulky crop in the barn and not easily handled; but if the grain is pulled before cutt ing down the stalks the foi.l;r can be stor­ed in the barn without the necessity of

cost and some profit per day, and this should be charged for with each crop. A very good plan is to < harge for the work just whaf you would be willing to do the work for others for. or what you would be willing to pay some one else for doing it for you. I t may be t rue tha t calculating upon th ' s basis and ihen taking the average yield of tUe crops at the r . l i n g market price, would show a very small margin of profit, yet such is really the only cor­rect w;iy o aseei ta ning the full co-t of ea"h crop when ready for marke t ; and this account taken from the value of the product when marketed, or ra ther when ready to market , will , handling it again except to feed it to show the amount of profit or loss, as the case may be.

Save Sou»4 S««ii Corn.

During the season of husking is the t ime usually token to save seed-corn.

There is no be t te r means of sftoetion where the perfectly ripened corn is husked on the stalk. If the fair ears , well capped over the ends, upon be ing stripped, show sound instead of being husked, these should be snapped off. In unloading, in place of th rowing these ears into the crib, they should be put aside, and then str ipped off SJ t h e most perfect selections can be braided together, or quickly and thoroughly dried in some other way.

Many persons are in the habi t of selecting se,cd from the shockeu corn as husked. The difficulty here isr

especially in large shocks, cut pe rhaps rather green, that the drying has b e e n imperfect; often tho butts of such corn are entirely untit for seed from incipi­ent mold. But when no other means of saving corn is at hand all oars t h a t show damp at the butt should be thrown aside, and that selected should be ei ther t raced up or placed in a warm, airy loft, where it may d r y per­fectly and quickly. The perfect dry­ing is essential.

There is too little care exercised, as a rule, in the winter ing of seed corn. I t is never safe to select seed in the

: SDring from the wide cribs. The corn is liable to more or less heating, as

I every farmer knows. Corn properly saved, every grain should germinate , if it has been well ripened. We do not, and never have, advocated the select ion of unripe ears from the field, tying u p

! and drying. While it is a fact t ha t 1 corn so saved will germinate kindly if ; followed up it will result in a gradual

weakening of the stamina. It is t rue that any grain not thoroughly ripened,

! if dry, will make excellent flour or I meal, bnt the pabulum to sustain the . young plant is not there . The seed

gr.du must only be fully mature, but ! must be made thoroughly dry in order j to preserve the full germ power of t he

future plant .—Prair ie Farmer.
