To Day-students of Brevard Institute:
The influenza epidemic last fall
kept most pupils out of school for
three months. As it is impossible to
count a full year’s credit for six
months’ work schools have adopted
different methods of making up lost
time that the students may go on
with their grade next fall. Some
schools extended their school year in
to the summer, but the fact that Bre
vard Institute operates an established
Summer School made it impossible for
those who remained in school in the
fall to complete the work at the usual
time and still those who v/ere one last
fall can attend the summer session
and be ready for advanced w-iM; next
fall. In general it will bo necessary
to make up the first term’s work if
credit is obtained for the studies of
the school year 1918—lJii>. The*
Summer School will open on Tuesday,
June 10, 1919. Very truly,
C. H. TROWBRlDtJE.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
jy' local apnllcatlona. as they cannot reacb
the dlseasei portion of tb« car. There is
)uly one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
lad that Ls by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal beafnesa Is caused by am tn-
lUmed condition of the mucous lining of
the KustachlMi Tube. When this tube is
:nt1amed you have a rumblins sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it Is entirely
closed, Deafn<Ma the result. -Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forsver. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on th« mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

Only in 1836 Did IHuman Chattels
come Unprofitable to Their
Ownsrs in That State.
Few Detroiters of the present gen
eration knonr that Michigan was once
a slave territory, or that the city of
Detroit,r for a period of nearly one
hundred years, included a considerable
number of slaves in Its population, ob
serves the Detroit News. The early
French settlers lived largely by trad
ing with the Indians. At first the.*;
bought furs only, but each spring the
Indians of Michigan would mnke wnf
raids into territory south and west,
and they would bring back captives
whom they sometimes killed by tor
ture, but later they found It more prof
itable to sell them to the white settlers
as slaves. Most of these Indian slaves
were from the Pawnee tribe.
Later negro slaves were bought in
the East, principally in ihe state of
New York. When the British took pos
session in 1760 they found quite a
number of slaves, Indians and negro,
and they continued the practice. The
census of the district in 1773 showed
46 men and 30 women slaves in a com
munity tiiat numbered less thfit 300
adult white men. In 1872 there were
179 slaves in Detroit. The ordinance
of 1787 forbade slavery in the North
west territory, but Detroiters paid no
attention to this Constitutional act.
There were enough negroes in Detroit
in 1807, slave and free, to enable Gov
ernor Hull to organize a company of
colored militia.
In ISIS the assessor for Waj’ne coun
ty made slaves taxable property, and
this proved a discouragement to slave
holding. By 1832 there were only 32
slaves left in Michigan territory, and
in 1836 the last one had been manu
mitted. Less than 20 years later Mich
igan, having found slaveholding un
profitable, became ardently abolition
ist, and Detroit was converted into a
terminal of the “underground railway,”
through which runaway slaves from
the Soutli found their way to freedom
in Canada.
ANIMAL HEROES IN WARFARE
GREATER THAN TITULAR KIN6
PfMldent Wilaon Realized H# Held
Higher Position Than Hereditary
Monarch of Britain.
Man l8 a queer critter. Apparently
he loves to make him a fetish, crawl in
front of it on his belly and beat hhi
forehead on the ground in abject snl>>
mission. Since the dawn of history
mrm have made and unmade kings as
jessily as a child makes mud pies. They
have lifted one of their number on the
throne, worshiped him, trembled at his
power, kissed his feet and, tiring of
him, they have often Idiied him as the
ox is slaughtered. Again and again
i!ioy have proved that kings are com
mon clay depending for their prerog
atives solely upon the acquiescence of
their equals, yet the worshiping of roy
al personages as though they were ap
pointees of the Deity has continued to
this day.
The grandfather of the president of
the United States was an humble sub
ject of the mighty Britisli king. The
president sat at the king’s table, the
elected representative of the richest,
most powerful nation on earth. The
president addressed the king. But he
did not say “your majesty” or “your
royal highness.” Knowing that the
elected head of one hundred million
occupies a more exalted position than
the hereditary, titular and nominal rul
er of forty million, knowing the hol
low emptiness of royal pomp and trap
pings, icnowing the character of the
common clay of which kings are made,
the president declined by humble
speech to give homage where none was
due, and smashed another precedent
and addressed the king as plain “sir”
and “you.”—Sunset Magazine.
MIND CONTROL WORTH WHILE
Some Praiss Should Be GparcJ for
the Dumb Brutes Who Gave Their
Lives for Liberty.
There was one factor for victory in
the war which we overlook in passing
out the praise and medals.
To the dumb animals who bore
much of battle’s brunt, to the horses,
mules and dogs, great credit is due.
Patient, plodding, brave, obedient
creatures of faithfulness!
Wondrous fine the steed of officer,
but equally grand the sturc|y liaulers
of caisson and gun carriage!
Butt of limitless jokes, the long
eared, lean-legged, tuft-talled army
mule has gloritied himself. Endless
the supply train’s he tugged fagging
distances, across shell swept spots and
through fierce fire.
The Red Cross dog, too, and the
sledge dogs in the Alps have been
canine heroes, leaping into the jaws
of death on missions of mercy or
pulliMg precious packsleds among
mountain peaks and passes.
Perpetual pasturage would be a jh^
reward for our four-footed fighters,
with freedom from further work. T*)
Fido. allot choice CSlies to gnaw and
if you’d make' liis home dog heaven
rid tiie worid of fleas for these, the
“dogs of war.”
At the entrance of this Paradise

record for posterity a tril«*ite to the
war’s 42,311 aninjal dead.—Toledo

Forecasting Storms.
By means of what is believed to be
a new scientific discovery, it is claimed
that weather forecasts may be made
with reasonable accuracy two weeks
in advance.
As a result of research, conducted
by a former chief of the w’eatiier bu
reau and a representative of the
Smithsonian institution, !t has been
found tliat there are rifts in the up
per clouds of the solar atmosphere
which cause a variation in the amount
of heat radiated to the earth. It is
said the investigators have discovered
the period of time between the pas
sage of a heat rift in the solar at
mosphere aad the appearance of re
sulting storms On the earth.
It hai^ been found that at times
these heat rifts persist for several
months and that they have produced
corresponding disturbances here.
Not an Easy Thing to Acquire, but
Its Value Is Beyond All
Computation.
Jo''lnnsy is a kind of misery that
coui:l i)e !ivnidefl-if one could forcibly
renv)vi> <ni«''s mind from a hurtful
subject. Anyone who has ever been
jcsilous knows liow the mind runs
ronni! and round from one suspicion
tlif.’.’^lit to another,

rr.'I \v. u!(i < v.-’iU' one to take the

Anger is another energy waster
which would be minimized if one
could control one’s mind. One might
be momentarily angry, of course, but
one would not permit one’s mind to
brood over real or fancied wrongs un
til one’s whole brain was filled wiQ|
the poisons of hate.
These states of mind are but a few
of the many which could be avoided
if one only began as early as possible
to control one’s mind. Begin in the
little things and by and by you will
gain a larger control. Say, this very
day: “I will not worry over that proB®
lem.”
Mind control Is not an easy faculty
to acquire. No one can say that. But
one always has this to encourage one
—that every victory makes the next
victory easier.—New York Evening
Telegram.
Making Furniture With l-lome Tools.
“Some of tlie nearest furniture that I
ever saw was made with no other tool*
than an ax and a knife, the blade of
which was made out of a piece of bar
rel hoop, tempered and sharpened for
the purpose.” says Dan Beard in his
article on “How to Make Rustic Fur
niture” in Boys’ Life.
“In a little log shack in the northern
wilderness of the Quebec country,
miles and miles from either wagon or
railroads, I saw rocking chairs made
by hand by an Indian who had never
seen a carpenter’s chest of tools. He
had made all the tools that he used
except his ax. The rocking chairs were
trim, shapely and better made than
any we can buy in the stores.”
Typewriter Used As a Pendulum.
In the show window of a downtown
typewriter concern stands an impos
ing looking clock more than six feet
tall. It is attractive, but what espe
cially Invites the attention is the pen
dulum. The bob is unlike any otiier
in the city, being a full sized type
writer, one that could be set up on
a desk and put in active use.
The suspended typewriter swings to
and fro all day long. Judging from
the excellent time the clock keep-s,
the typewriter bob does its work faitli-
fully and well.—New York Times.
Power Problem in England.
In its reconstruction thinking, the
question of eledlric power development
in Great Britain is engaging the minds
of many experts, and it is probable
that the government will.4ake some
part in the movement. It. is 4proposed
to utilize the great mineral; i^purces
of the country for produetioh^df .plec-,

Italy's Present to Wilson.
A gift, a combina^on of beauty and
rarity, is to be made to President Wil
son by the Italian government. If re-
poits speak true, tlie gift consists of
an antique and beautiful painting,
which has only just come to light.
The rarity, for a newly discovered
painting, even if beautiful, is not ex
actly an uncommon thing in Italy, con
sists in the extraordinary fact that this
painting w’as made on a pieee of the
sail of the caravel on w’hlch Chris
topher Columbus embarked on the voy
age which resulted in his discovery of
America. Nothing more appropriate
could have been presented to President
Wilson; certainly no discovery of a
buried bit of antiquity was ever more
apropos.
Rhine Whines.
Apropos of the whines for mercy
that keep coming out of Germany—
Rhine w-hines, as they are called—
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Co
lumbia, said the other day:
“Germany reminds me of a woman
who, entering hrr little boy in a new
school, said to the teacher:
“‘Leedle Fritzy he la deligate, und
so, if he iss badt—und he vill be badt
sometimes—joost lick der boy next to
him, und dat vill frighten him.’ ”
