C., I will try to givo the readeT of »oar paper some iutas of how tho school rooms were built and the sohools. conducted 41* years ago. I lived in a community of farmers in Spartenburg County, S. C., near LuBtor's old faotory, known as Pelham now. The school house was at Lib¬ erty Hill Church and was built out of pine log» with only one room, about 18 hy 20 feet, with one door in the middle of the room, ou the front side, made of plank and opening on the outside on. wooden hinges. There were no windows in the room and there was but one desk in the room «nd that belonged to the teacher. A wide plank placed against one end of the house at tho proper height was used for writing and one log out out of the side of tho houao scrvod for a window. The benohes were all of the same height made out of slabs, and while tho large soholars could rest their feet on the floor the smaller ones had them swingirg above it. At one end of tho building was a stick and dirt chimney. The teacher's doak was near the fireplace in one corner of the room. By looking closely in the corner in rear of the teacher you could have seen a bunoh of Tong, tapering hickory switches" all dried ready for bunine GB. When a teacher wished to get up a school be visited every houee in reaoh of tho sohool. building and those wishing to send subscribed as many scholars as tbs; thought thc; could send for ts¡¡e term of five or ten months. The terms for tuition were $1 per month whether the pupil studied in his A. B. O's, or in Greek and Latin. When they started to sohool nothing but sickness prevented their going. They were not at sohool one or two days in a week and at home the remainder of tho. time for the time had to be paid for out of the parent's pocket. The toaoher opened sohool about two Jfrours by Bun with ten minutes recess at 10 a. m. and at 12 m. dinner, and play time as we call- edit. * Spelling, reading, writing, geogra¬ phy, grammar and arithmetic were in the principal studies. Every evening before sohool was dismissed the schol¬ ars would be Hoad up to spelt in Th»«»» ot ilia head of the class remained there until turned downf or missed a day from Behool, and some of them were hard to down. The scholar's hack was the tesoher'i oard on which he wrote his demerits with a hickory switch, hut it Sure did hurt. Getting whipped at sohbol Was QOt the wornt r>&vL at >g for the parents would; repeat the dose witI* a few extras thrown in for good measure. The rules of sohool were very strict and anyone who disobeyed them was oal'ed to the teacher's desk and punished. I have seen young mon quite as large as the teacher take his dose like a little man unless he preferred to be expelled from sohool. Play time lasted noWl* 1:30 p. m.. Tho gamea gloyed were town hall, sky ball, bull pen, prisoner's base and plàtUes. Town hall was played on a oiréis. Tho bat was hat, resembling the battling;tsfciok used by our mothers when washing and the hall, was made out of ihxepA from an cjd s fco oki a g leg. When ibo one at the bat struck the bali and had to run yea could not Jl®||ím.uóle8B':ybu hit him with the í^;?s^^sic'cf lb? boys were hara to hit.

When we reached Jabout tbe middle of that stretch ofwoods I saw two men standing ratherqueerly; one In fr»»nt of tbe other nttho edge ot tbe sidewalk. 3 kind ofgrabbed tho man's arm, and he'thoughtI wanted bim to speak to some ono hehadn't seen and took off bis hat. ItW'ttu funny, because they stepped up infront of us and answered his politebow by sharing a gun in, bis face .andtelling him to hold up his banda."She stopped, and after walting awhile
for her to continúo.Marian said:"Well, did he?""Why. you know; it never, occurred

Pretty soon-v.'o got almost to the gatoof tho first house. We lived in tho third.Then I saw what tho mon was up toand felt so ashamed of roy silly squeal¬ing. I started to sprint thinking that Iwould ring tho doorbell of tho firsthouse nod get help, but tho second man'caught me.' And then he seemed to geta kind bf signal from the other one, forha let go of me au of a sudden endjumped right, on the man's back. Andthen the gun went off. It waa tho most jawful sound I'over beard. I sat downon tho sidewalk for a mlnnte.S"Well, when I came to icy brother
Bbb was there and a whole crowd ofneighbore-they'd beard the sr^t andhad run dut just In timo to eeo the.menrun away through tho woods-and ow.Wbody was talking at once. Tho shot

ALL OVER THE HOUSE-A Laundry Suggestion In Whian Par«
affin Figure«.Put soilr?. clothes, to soak over¬
night, luto a boiler half full of hotcrater eut a itali bur oi soap and apiece of paraffin one and a hali inch¬es square. Fill the boiler with finepieces of clothing and boil one-halfhour. For the second boilerful addthe same amount of soap and paraf¬fin and boil the savae.length of time.There will bo enough soap and par¬affin for the third boiling of towelsand coarse pieces. Scald, but do notboil, black and white percales andginghams, and they.-will not fade.Hub all soiled spots lightly on thewashboard, using no more scap.After rinsing through two watersand bluing haUg up to dry. In win¬ter if the flannels are washed in thewater left from white clothes andrinsed in wann water softened witha little bora* they will bo nico andsoft. The soapy water in tho washboiler is very good to clean floors,sinks, etc., if used warm. Empty theboiler before it cools, or tho paraffin^,will form a rim, which only gasoline'will remove.
'
Enameling a Bathtub.Firat the old enamel should be
cracked off with a small hammerand ground down with sandstone.Next give it one coat of one part lin¬seed oil arid four part« turpentine,?which will prevent any further, cor¬rosion and at tho samo time formsa good surface for the subsequentpainting. Follow this with twocoats ofpaint made as follows: Zino.white paste, three .pounds; pale goldsize* one-fourth' pint. Stir well andthin with turpentine. This paintwill dry Hoard and resist the actionof hot water.
For th« ¿Ink Back.Measure sink from end to end and
get a board that length and about afoot wide. Coyer smoothly,with oii-( jcloth on one side, tacking the rawedges on the back. Put a screw eyeabout six inches from each end tohang it. by. Hang it so the loweredge will come over back of edge ofsink instead of under tho .finish,lîim will keep it dry and clean, andwhen the oilcloth is soiled it can becleansed witjb. kerosene.
Macaroons.Soak half a pound of sweet al¬
monds in boiling hotwater until theskins rub off easily,, Tripe them dry,pcend flue and inix with, rose water.Seat thc whites' of three eggs to, astiff froth, stir in gradually half apound of white powdered çugar andtho almanda^.. Drop the mixture inemail parcels; on buttered bake tins.'or'; buttered paper on tins separatefrom each other, sift sugar overthem and bake slowly.

The Old Log Schoolhouse..
?""*"" f Wv. \BciDg a reader of your valuable pa¬
per sod not seeing anything fromflinton, S. C., I will try to givo thereadeT of »oar paper some iutas ofhow tho school rooms were builtand the sohools. conducted 41* yearsago.
I lived in a community of farmersin Spartenburg County, S. C., nearLuBtor's old faotory, known as Pelhamnow. The school house was at Lib¬erty Hill Church and was built out ofpine log» with only one room, about18 hy 20 feet, with one door in themiddle ofthe room, ou the front side,made of plank and opening on theoutside on. wooden hinges. Therewere no windows in the room andthere was but one desk in the room«nd that belonged to the teacher. Awide plank placed against one end ofthe house at tho proper height wasused for writing and one log out outof the side of tho houao scrvod for a
window. The benohes were all of thesame height made out of slabs, andwhile tho large soholars could resttheir feet on the floor the smallerones had them swingirg above it. Atone end of tho building was a stickand dirt chimney. The teacher'sdoak was near the fireplace in onecorner of the room. By lookingclosely in the corner in rear of theteacher you could have seen a bunohof Tong, tapering hickory switches" alldried ready for bunine GB.
When a teacher wished to get up a
school be visited every houee in reaohof tho sohool. building and thosewishing to send subscribed as manyscholars as tbs; thought thc; couldsend for ts¡¡e term of five or tenmonths. The terms for tuition were$1 per month whether the pupilstudied in his A. B. O's, or in Greekand Latin. When they started tosohool nothing but sickness preventedtheir going. They were not at sohoolone or two days in a week and athome the remainder of tho. time forthe time had to be paid for out of theparent's pocket. The toaoher openedsohool about two Jfrours by Bun withten minutes recess at 10 a. m. and at12 m. dinner, and play time as we call-edit. *
Spelling, reading, writing, geogra¬phy, grammar and arithmetic were inthe principal studies. Every eveningbefore sohool was dismissed the schol¬ars would be Hoad up to spelt in
Th»«»» ot ilia
head of the class remained there untilturned downf or missed a day fromBehool, and some of them were hardto down. The scholar's hack was thetesoher'i oard onwhich he wrote hisdemerits with a hickory switch, hut itSure did hurt. Getting whipped atsohbol Was QOt the wornt r>&vL at >gfor the parents would; repeat the dosewitI* a few extras thrown in for goodmeasure. The rules of sohool werevery strict and anyone who disobeyedthem was oal'ed to the teacher's deskand punished. I have seen youngmon quite as large as the teacher takehis dose like a little man unless hepreferred to be expelled from sohool.Play time lasted noWl* 1:30 p. m..
Tho gamea gloyed were town hall, skyball, bull pen, prisoner's base andplàtUes. Town hall was played on a
oiréis. Tho bat was hat, resemblingthe battling;tsfciok used by our motherswhen washing and the hall, was madeout of ihxepA from an cjd s fco okiagleg. When ibo one at the bat struckthe bali and had to run yea could not

"I have worked as a man and lived as Iono. I married this girl when shesaul she could not livo without me. jMy fathor's name was Noah Webster. 1He was a big South Carolina Mason. IWhen he died eight years ago, ho loft jsome mon jy to me and my two broth- jera, J. E. Wobstor and J. It. Web¬ster. I did not think I was getting Imy share, so after quarreliog with mylbrothers, ï left home. I worked in Ihotels and restaurants until three jyears ago. Ono day in Dallas, Tex,, Iwhile I was employed in tho Kimball jhotel, I heard that a oook was wantedby a theatrical company traveling inft private oar. The owner of an em¬
ployment agency told mo if I was a jman I could get $80 a month. That jgave me an idea. I bought a cheap Isuit, out off my hair, and next dayreturned to tho agent and completelyfooling the employment agent, was jhired for the theatrical company."
"I loved him and thought that with jhis money and my little savings wecould buy a restaurant and make algood living," said Marietta Jolley to"-day, in her home at Sheffield. "IlCannot believe he (she) is a woman. Ithank God though that I did not jleave Kansas Oity with bim or her, Ior, Oh! I don't know what to do. He 1wanted me 'for my money, little that jit was." j
